The "let's add zones over time" model of the last season (with the free/gem unlock model) is probably a better fit than the whole "let's have an expansion". However, a push toward the Crystal Desert/Kourna/Elona is part of a different storyline, and they will almost certainly finish with the...

The difference in prices tells me I don't need to bother trying to farm for a mount; I'm probably facing the prospect of 150+ dungeon runs to afford a single one (mount cost about 100 times a piece of gear, and I doubt you can get one piece per run, let alone more than one).

My recommendation at that point is "finish harvesting whatever's in range, then accept". You get a run speed buff for 1h (30mn? I think it's 1h) when you accept.

Actually, it's the "megaserver" setup they switched to a year or so ago. Instead of one instance of lowbie zone per server, it's one instance per X players. So there's always someone, except when you're on an instance that was spawned because a world boss was going to pop up, and the players...

There's a few catch-ups already in place: drops are higher if you've got the achieve, and if you don't, you have garrison missions to catch up, plus 20k apexis per week to buy an additional batch of items. So the time gates are a lot sped up. However, you face about 4-5 weeks of last phase...

There's games and games, though. Good games make you understand what you're doing and teach you how to play them. Bad games don't, and the "lucky" who "get it" find it ok, while the ones who would need pointers... simply stop caring at one point. That's where GW2 fails. It simply does not...

And that is why the game fails for me. It's a game that has only one defined framework: dps. Anything else is ad-hoc glued to it. You have zero indicators on how you're supposed to play, the non-trinity means you can't draw on your game experience to figure it out. So, a lucky few figure out...

Disney is smart: All that Extended Universe stuff is now officially relegated to fan fiction.

All my alts have level 3 garrison and inn, and will probably end up with 25 treasure hunters by Legion day. 30s per day for all gold+GR missions, done. No need to even go fetch the cache. None of them ever went in a dungeon. They all took the ring quest, just to get that obnoxious wandering...

The last two legendaries have been less about prestige (the whole concept of raid prestige is dwindling anyway) and more about story. It's about a Legendary Storyline, no a Legendary Thingummy....

And you say only "OooOoo"...

The GW2 system is the top of the line regarding cosmetics.

And it gets worse. I mean, I get better rewards than CITADEL LFR by doing SOLO non-named/non-elite stuff OUTDOOR.

Neither am I. At the moment, I'm still trying to optimize my stable of alt's gear, which is killing time since they're going to replace every piece probably within 15mn of the intro quest to Legion, and none of them ever do dungeons or raids anyway. At one point, I'm going to rip the Salvage...

Makes it easier for marketing to sell them 50$ expansions.

They added in 6.2.2 a section in the world version of Hellfire Citadel with specific nameds that you can only access with flying.

My druid currently uses a Sabercat mount, because it is slightly faster than travel form, and I'm still (for 10 days) prevented from being a crow.

I would probably motivate myself to give a try, but these days, 98% of the games that interest me are available on OS X, which means I can't bring myself to boot into Windows. So, no TSW.

Visions? Is that the political correct for hallucinations?

That's pretty much the only reason I'm waiting for it. A Tanaan daily cycle would be shortened by maybe 7-8mn tops with flying, I think. Archaeology, on the other hand...

They have an internal alpha, we're promised access to the new continent for those at Blizzcon. So, beta in december. I think it's reasonable to expect it around Q2 2016... which means about 9-10 months of 6.2, 2 of which have already passed (yes, it's already been 2 months of 6.2). Ok, maybe...

It's called random. If you focus on one or two chars, you can have over half of their armor with your best secondary, and 3-4 pieces with their best two within a month. You get four-five pieces per day in drops on average during your dailies (from named, glowing chests, and the occasional rare...

Of course, I knew instantly what it was. Nice name, though

Suspension of disbelief is not always easy to get. One small mistake, and suddenly you're all "WTF?"

There's no one there, like ever. Aviana your way there (usually, it's an alt so not an option, but, eh). Also, if you're a skinner, and it's not a Saberstalker rep day, skinning the entire Zorammarsh is very efficient. You don't get 5-felblight nodes, but you get steady supplies. Myself, I...

That was my first remark as well when I saw the video.

If they're putting in the 6.2.1 patch, then they completely messed up their communication, since they could have simply said "oh, btw, the 6.2.1 is probably this week, or maybe next" instead of letting us think it was shelved in favor of a 6.2.2. So I think not. Alas.

And they always want to know when they're going to fight. Except that goblin girl. She always ask if you can skip the job and go straight to getting paid.

I thought it was dead. Guess it's coming back from the dead, then. We had a thread, but it might be so old, it might predate the move to rerolled...

They even dropped the two sizes of old-denomination mythic in favor on a single raid size because that let them tune mythic better. The only mythic change that might affect retention rates would be nerfing mythic so that heroic hopefuls could get "into mythic" instead of unsubbing because...

And up to 4 recolors per appearance. Basically, they've put as much effort in making those artefacts as they usually do for "normal" weapons. The only difference is that, when they add new raids... ahem, when they'll add THE last raid, you won't have new looks in it. Or maybe you'll unlock a...

There were some insurance premiums (I'm not familiar with that kind of loan structure) that needed to be paid regularly. They were running out of cash, trying to get anything they could, when their check for insurance bounced (at that point, of course, they hadn't paid healthcare, hadn't paid a...

Well, at the moment it's raining, so meh

It's a bit more of a build number change. It's a bait-and-switch, compounded by absolute failure to communicate clearly, on top of what's obviously a bad production decision. There is no reason to tag release a PTR unless you are reasonably sure you're going to release it, essentially because...

Is that me or are the CM becoming deliberately obtuse, sadistic, and avoid answering questions? Apparently, the switch on PTR from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2 isn't because flying is done testing and the patch is going live and now they're working on the rest. It's because they could not add all those...

Curt expected some magical VC to materialize and give The Man With The Bloody Sock money without equity in his dream company in exchange for promises of insane MMO profit when the game went out. And he maintains he had some crazy asians or something lined up until the end, but alas, the deal...

I have 9 alts (in addition to the main, who doesn't need apexis gear), so it's a lot slower. But if you're running only one char, you should get geared insanely fast. The only reason to run LFR is if you don't have time to do the dailies and play only during weekends (and, of course, for your 3...

It won't. They already said you'd loot (and probably craft and quest) "relics" that you slot in the weapon, which means it's basically similar to jewelcrafting, and you've got 3 different "color" with 4 slots for your ilvl (blue) /main stat (red) /1st secondary/2nd secondary (yellows). The only...

Gamescom is also bigger than E3 because it is open to the public; you don't need to pretend to have a game blog to get admittance. As a result, you have E3 with 40k people during the entire trade show, and Gamescom with 120k visitorsper day. While PAX doesn't release their numbers anymore...

They said she's "pissed off", so I guess it's more of a political overthrow rather than a coup. I don't remember her having an artefact-type weapon, so she's safe from our greedy hands. Unlike two notable characters whose weapons would probably only pried from their cold dead hands... and which...
