They were also two attempts at salvaging a game that was dying. As he said, when he was called on UO, they were hemorrhaging people, they couldn't hold on new people. At that point, you can choose to let the game die or change stuff. The original plan was to let UO die because UO2, then it...

They've alluded at "like A Tale in the Desert". Basically, in ATITD, you can get up to 7 achievements in 7 disciplines. Some are easy, other are infuriatingly hard, a lot are competitive. When you have all 7 Oracles (i.e. one person gets 7 ranks in a discipline), the game ends, server resets...

If you've already played the - now defunct - Civ facebook game, well, that's not it. XL Games (Archeage) is trying to get the A Tale in the Desert mixed with PvP: Civilization Online

I've dialed back on missions, since basically every follower is epic quality/630+, 2/3 of them are 645, and I've got every possible raid covered at 100%. I'm still harvesting since it's basically my main Savage Blood ressource thru Primal Spirits; I've entirely given up on trying to get an...

I ended up with 3 scavengers, meaning I'm trying to figure out how to spend 1000GR in a single click at the trade post. Two epic mounts, but I don't care much about them, after a couple weeks, you only need to send missions twice a day anyway so duration doesn't matter. Got 14 followers at...

It is also chiefly a different philosophy about marketing. After a number of such "early alpha" games that I've been thru, I'm now perfectly convinced that every such is a sucker bait. Since Steam allowed us to put on ignore games, I've been steadily putting each and every "early access" game...

No, but then neither is LFR required to unlock normal raid missions. When they explained a bit the raid missions, it seemed like you would need to do some LFR, but apparently not. First raid popped the day after my followers started hitting 645.

Yea, and once you all have maxed epics except the one, Master Plan will happily put the fastest XP gain for that one up top.

Last Highmaul raid mission (Jan 1st! New year start!), I had all 6 counters, 1 racial bonus, Blook's bonus, plus 1 High Stamina. At the moment, I'm finishing my lineup (half my staff is 645), then I'll push them all to 655. To be sure. (got lucky with my only two followers with Massive Strike...

What's happened for me is that, basically, I'm considering tearing down the Barn due to aggravation. Elites are camped all day long, and once you get into prime-time, the trap-stealing starts. As a source of savage blood, it's probably getting worse than simple primal spirits across a couple alts...

If you're going to pay for server hopping, what's a few RMT purchases for your gold?

I see more and more people camping the riverbeast spot. While the initial wave of ravenous high-end guilds gearing themselves fast has gone. More offer, less demand = falling prices.

However, the 95-99 missions have a, ahem, mediocre drop rate of crates.

Need to kill 15 normal mode bosses for heroic caches (or 15 heroic for mythic ones). Plus actually getting the raid mission to pop. (only one so far, but that was 8 days ago)

Actually, no. You really replace your items fast during leveling, you don't get that many per zone, and epic upgrades you get with an extra +10 would basically mean having one or two items per zone not replaced during the next zone. And each zone is about 2-3h of /played tops if you take your...

Nope, it's a bonus counter that counts as half a "normal" counter. You'll have to wait for the legendary follower for a real 3-counter one.

It's 95. On the "below 95" pool missions, you only get small sacks regardless of your Salvage Yard. 95 and above, you get max whatever bag/crate your level yard can give.

Highmaul caches come from ilvl 645 missions, which pop if you have at least 2 ilvl 645 followers (my first and so far only popped while I was gearing my third follower, which I managed to finish). You need 6 counter-attacks with 3 followers, which is quite hard. Usually, that means you have 5...

I think each mission pool is separate and individual. Theory: Looks like there's 7 different pools: "Base pool": which pops the level 90 mission (you know which mission I'm talking about) by default, except when you get one of the rare missions for things like Halaa tokens, reroll books...

That's a weird one. Because the green "(+525)" indicates the amount of % ABOVE 100% converted into extra XP, which makes no sense if you only have 99% (you countered every threat and every enemy, with added bonus, and extra ilvls).

I assume that, like every expansion before, your weapon ilvl is more significant than any other piece by a large margin. The spellpower on it is basically 25% of your entire spellpower. There's also a vast disparity in effectiveness if you have the wrong secondary stats. If your main stats...

Saw on the forums (yes, I went to the official forums. I was bored, ok?) a good analysis of the way missions' chances are calculated. Basically, a mission has 3 penalties per attack, plus 1 per enemy. You get 3 advantages per countered attack, 1 base advantage per follower, 1 advantage per...

It's the same for every profession, EXCEPT maybe alchemy. All your professions' demand is capped by the daily cooldowns+6 WO, which the mine or garden is enough. The bodyguard is always of your current level, and gets no bonus from its follower level or ilvl (except a cosmetic one at higher...

You are supposed to get any of the three rewards once a week. I.e., if you do silver, you get green and blue bags, and you get gold later, you're supposed to get the purple bag, but not the other two. But given the number of bugs that pop everywhere, it might not work.

Brackenspore's strategy is pretty much dictated by your healer's capacities. Good healer team? Do whatever. So-so healer team? You need to move the raid to living mushroom and heal the shroom once Brackenspore starts his spores.

There appear to be a specific order to some of them at least. There's at least two parts of Socrethar storyline for Alliance Garrisons, and the first one basically sets up the second one (which I'm waiting for). Of course, I'm mostly interested in the druid-related one, where I can get Thisalee...

That's a Garrison Campaign mission, which is independent from invasions. Not sure why you don't get invaded then.

That's the thing. You need to do 3 heroics, and that's over. Your 615 followers give you the same gear, your 630 followers give better (but less often) same as your invasions also give you 645. Why would you need to run heroics? Ah, because there are a handful of slots that you do not get gear...

If you accepted it, but did not launch the scenario, it's locking you out of the "real" invasions. You don't need to complete it though. Just drop it, and the real invasions will pop. I've got 3 invasions pending, seeing as I always go help a friend first, get gold, and thus don't need...

Yep. Meaning if you spammed low-level missions, you got rolling in crates.

It is. I get a follower token every 7-8 crates. People complain a lot about level 3 being useless because, instead of having a lot of grey crap, with an occasional level 90+ green and an occasional follower token, they get grey, an occasional level 90+ green, an occasional follower token, but...

He'll sell you the DPS ring, not give you. You can have both, but (despite having different names) only equip one.

Obligatory relevantcomic.

I wouldn't be surprised if this updated when you actually finish a quest. If you have more than 10, but don't complete a new quest, it's going to stay there.

They should bite the bullet and move to GW2's transmog system. Each time you get an item in bound form (if it's BOE, you need to bind it first), it unlocks that skin account-wide. You then pay transmog as usual from any valid unlocked skin. Problem solved. (you might need to rework slightly...

You don't have every slot in missions, at least until raiding missions (we'll see how they work when they unlock). What rest of the game? At high level, there's exactly three activities: raids, pvp and garrison. Four if you count Vitality playing the AH under you.

It's the usual thing. In the end, it is not going to be relevant to Mythic raiding. But, as a stepping stone, it is.

I can confirm it's account-wide, as I unlocked mine using 3 chars working their barns.

If you go on the Armory site to look at that achievement, it... looks complicated. No, in fact, it looks like a mess. I would not be unsurprised if the shared-account counter of WO didn't start ticking until you unlocked the character-specific one. Or something.

It's one of the fixed traits, like Bodyguard. You're not supposed to lose or gain those traits (see comments onwowhead). People have used their full reroll on him, and he keeps the trait. (of course, as Blook also has Timed Battle as its base, and that's the most useful counter at high level...
