It's really not difficult. There's two-three main sources of money: - Follower missions. Since you qualify for any missions, regardless of level, that reward gold, I have 2 to 3 gold missions waiting for me on average, whenever I log a character. To those missions you can add an additional...

The token marketplace is region-wide, not server-wide. The price dropped on "every" server. I think the market is currently very illiquid. Not enough transactions to do stuff. That's why they readjusted the calculation period to 1h.

Yea, it feels like a video for the kickstarter that somehow didn't make it into the kickstarter.

Because that castle is what will make you win, and take home a new relic. The problem is one they've seen before. If it doesn't reset, after a couple months, you have a winner. And the loser has only one thing: the cancel account button (because, face it, most servers have by now their reigning...

Yea, connected, did the barest minimum for getting the daily achieve, then disconnected. Then again, most days, I do that as well.

Ask Mr Robot's stats are a good way to gauge the difficulty progression for Heroics. I tend to use average raid ilvl at 4 wipes: Hansgar & Franzok: 669 Darmac: 670 Gruul: 672 Oregorger: 675.8 Flamebender: 676.3 Thogar: 676.9 Kromog: 679.2 Iron Maidens: 683.8 Blast Furnace: 686.9...

Yea, the only real question is if there will be some kind of global search system, or a local for the current EK only. Oh, and whether you get glowing lines on the ground leading to the vendor you found. Like good old times in the Bazaar.

I think that's clearly the intent.

Added fun: Being able to craft coins out of ANY metal. With lossy conversion, like: 1 ingot of Whateverium makes 90 Whateverium coins, and you can melt 100 Whateverium coins to make an ingot. Multiple currencies, with the additional change between currencies being player mediated ("I don't...

Developper-created currencies always suffer from a massive problem: they model their currencies from real-world money, then find out that real money does not work well in a small-scale economic simulations. Too simplistic, and stuff doesn't work, too realistic, and the best way to get rich would...

And, it's over (for KS, at least)

Should be getting the Centaur Relic unlocked soon. *** EDIT: Drat, they failed, didn't see the 8mn remaining mention ***

And even then. Heirlooms are just below those at 90, and jump far above as soon as you ding 91. Head, chest, shoulders, cape, legs are better off as heirlooms. Probably even necklaces, or trinket.

Except those tiles aren't procedurally generated, they're handcrafted. That's what we saw in the vid (if you looked at something else than the alluring female figure used for marketing). The 3D artist building one of the tetris blocks for a village. I assume the houses themselves can differ...

You have an incompressible 15mn per alt per day due to doing the rounds on Garden, Mine, Salvage and the buildings. And as Kreugen implies, if the author of Master Plan decided to shut down his add-on, Blizzard would probably lose at least 5% of its subscribers. I should really stop...

That's probably because they have external funding. The Kickstarter is more to gauge/generate interest than just getting money. Although more money is always good, and put to good use.

The real question is: why do you want a PvE world? You do realize that, for the vast majority of PvP players in GW2, the "persistent PvE world" is, at best, a Lion Arch-shaped lobby where they log in because you're kicked from the WvW map when you disconnect. The only advantage of mixing a...

Because you're still thinking of "there's one rule everyone plays by". There's not. You will have campaigns in which you can't bring your gear (or maybe only a weapon, no armor), and campaign in which you can. The catch is that this "best" gear you bring in from the EK is going to be lost...

Well, that's a given. The game is about the campaigns, not about WoW-type garrison management. You don't even have resources harvesting in EK, so basically, you set up stuff if you have enough resources to prop new buildings or expand your kingdom, manage your stocks on your vendor, and back to...

That's because EK are "easy" to design, and have low importance in the grand scheme of things. The EK are where you store your bragging trophies, your gameplay enhancing trophies (relics; the more relics you have the more choices you have of boons for your next campaign), and where you craft...

It's stated on the Dregs (from Kickstarter page): So, maybe they will change those rules, as Tuco said, but at the moment, that's what's promised.

Fun. Really. Until you throw people at it, and watch them play, you really don't have any idea what is really fun (and keep people around for years) and what's not. You need players, and you need devs watching how stuff unfolds.

It's not a matter of coding, more of balancing. Stuff that looks good on paper and in code sometimes lead to completely bad outcomes when real players check it. So they need a set of workable rulesets as a fallback for launch, and they can then innovate by adding more audacious "rule cards" to...

That's where the system of flexible and variable campaign rules work out. If you're always using a Terminator rules campaign where you drop naked, no relics and boosts, then all your previous campaigns' outcomes do not matter to your character (since you obviously keep your skill points...

They should be more explicit about that.

As every spaceship game is a textbook case for VR, EVE isn't going to get caught behind: Lesson #1: Don't get caught in a Titan's firing solution...

Since there's no real elder game, you need to decide a goal (preferably a long-term one), like unlocking as many weapon skins possible without BL scraps, getting high achievement points, crafting your own legendary, getting all WvW skills, whatever. Then checklist it, and go. This is why I've...

Crafting booster is useful to reduce the amount of components to level. Which doesn't matter much with cooking since it's easy to get them. It is much more important when you're trying to level 425-500 in gear crafting, because you will need lots of relatively expensive/rareish components, so...

Yup. Game (that feature combat) live and die by their combat mechanics.

We need a troll raid. Clearly.

You want insanely fast leveling, take a crafted weapon and full level 100 heirloom +XP gear.

1) You get transmutation charges on a few of the daily login chests. 2) Assuming you have a free character slot, you can create a character, fully map all of a couple cities, and you have your transmutation charges.

It's supposed to come back in 6.2 with Tanaan Jungle.

If you want an absolute flawless and aesthetically pleasing, that looks like it's handcrafted, yea, it's going to be complicated. If you can tolerate a couple weird spots... well, look at the procedural towns generated in Minecraft. That's basically one dev working on it for a couple weeks...

I decided to make full ascended for my Guardian. I'm playing casually (a couple hours here and there, probably 10h/week). I've begun preparing for that in october last year, and that entailed getting to 500 in weaponsmith (2h sword, spear, hammer, I think), armor (heavy armor) and artefact...

Which is why, when I'm looking at a flexible classes/non-classes system, I'm a big partisan of the "collectible skill cards" model. You being with a pre-defined set, then you go out and collect skill cards to slot on your active/passive bar. If you have a class, those skill cards are...

My main worry from the video is that their procedural generation doesn't look enough procedural. It appears to be based on hand-crafted tiles (ref: the guy showing off his village to Natalie) stitched together. This has a double drawback: Not enough variety (the tiles will be quickly...

I had the good fortune of shoving in the bank my last 4 "non-upgrades" from BRF (it's always the piece you don't really want that comes out of the bonus roll instead of the one you're looking for). I think at least 3 of them are going to be used; the 4th has to compete with an heroic HM...

It's been that way since the era of MUDs. Pure marketing: "50 levels" "99 LEVELS! With REMORT!"

Well, usually, you have the choice of which bear asses to collect (for hearts. Events are more streamlined).
