Master Plan's "Interesting Missions" tab is extremely helpful: take any follower that's listed as redundant, and reroll or replace.

An additional bit is that the Timeless Isle-like stuff is on the PTR: there's tokens yielding ilvl 650 gear for every slot plus internal quest trackers for a lot of treasure "chests" and mobs. So we're basically in a setup similar to the end of MoP.

The problem isn't 6.2. It's "how long to 7.0". Because if Blizzard insists on announcing its expansion at Blizzcon for its usual oct-nov 2016 release, you're not going to see a 2 million sub dip between early and late expansion, you're going to see a 4-5 million dip this time.

An interesting... form of speech in the PTR: That hints at 6.2 being the last real content patch. We've got all but Gul'dan accounted for in this tier (props to MMO Champ noticing a raid wing named after Grommash, so we probably kill his torturer, and have him promptly die on us, asking us to...

Do quickly the Gorgrond quest lines to get a level 2 medium plan which lets you upgrade it.

Yes, but that's not really during levelling. The treasure missions require level 100 and unlocking (if that's your first Inn) thru a series of heroic dungeons (I don't think there's enough non heroic dungeon quests to get the required 10). And if you're leveling regularly, then you're going to...

The salvage yard crates do not yield tokens until it's level 2, so you need to upgrade it asap. You need level 100 followers to gear them, though. When you're starting from scratch, it takes about 9-10 days (at a morning/evening mission sending rythm) to get your initial batch of followers to...

Not really. This is a max level setup: you can't have level 3 Inn or Salvage Yard until your garrison is level 3, which means you're level 100, and having lots of treasure missions means lots of counter combos, i.e. better with a level 3 Barracks for 25 followers. If you're levelling, it...

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.
