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).

That's becauseboobs physics is hard.

My guild is very casual. We usually raid with 15-20. Due to some leftover holidays and whatnot, we ended up with 10 people, including one alt tank. We basically 1-shot everything in Highmaul, even those fights we would normally have difficulties doing and require 1h of multiple tries. And DBM...

It's actually the mistakes and the unintended that makes the memorable. Consider Magic the Gathering. 20 years after, people remember the most broken of cards, Black Lotus. It was a huge gameplay mistake, and quickly limited, retired, then banned from "standard play". Yet it's the card that...

The whole idea is that you should get behaviors that you did not anticipate. If you want only to produce behaviors you plan for, then you simply do scripts. It costs you. A lot. But you're "safe". And of course, every world is exactly the same, and everything respawns exactly the same. And...

The result, however, is as man-power intensive as every quest-based themepark MMOs. The engine is cheap, but you need lots of quest writers. The video of the DE city seemed to hint at basically a Sims-type agent AI. Basically, each agent (NPC) has a set of potential desires (seeks resource X...

They apparently wanted to position themselves as an AI middleware. Just like we have 3D middlewares, physic engines, and apparently we've got voxel middlewares now (voxelfarm). So why not AI middlewares? One of the main problems is that you have very different AI needs depending if you're...

Depending on classes/specs, the usefulness of a secondary stat will vary between 65% of primary (best secondaries) and 35% (worst secondaries). Given that your item has about 1.25 times its primary stats as the total of secondary stats, that means you can get as much as a 15% boost in efficiency...

Yea, and mission caches don't have weapons in them (off-hands, yes. Weapons, no). Note that you can still get a 645/651 weapon easily from follower missions, which is basically your stage 2 improved weapon, so don't bother improving until you have enough Savage Blood for at least stage 3 or...

I said I wasn't very PvP oriented, not that I didn't PvP. I'm more into structured PvP with clear objectives, field of battle movement, etc. rather than corpse camping, ffa loot and the like. That's why I left UO during beta after I saw the griefer heaven it was going to be, while I enjoyed the...

And that's the only reason I am vaguely interested in Crowfall, since I'm not a very PvP-oriented player at the base. But I can recognize the potential of structuring your game into campaigns with very differing rulesets, with the potential of having some stuff that's ok for you. Until you...

It's an area where it's really difficult to achieve balance between having something people look forward to (they need to feel those skills make a difference), without being a massive handicap when you don't have them (because, unlike PVE, you don't have "levels" to segregate your players)...

Yes. And that's the reason I usually don't join a new game past the initial year or so.

1) Your character's skills progress with real time, except the handful of first %. Older chars = more skills. 2) Equal playing field applies only to Terminator rules. In every other campaigns, you're going to bring in gear and/or building mats you've stockpiled from previous campaigns...

Given that they had to disable the follower relic missions, I assume there's something broken with his quests and they can't fix it with a hotfix.

Although I am not going to KS any game ever (or pay Early Access or Founder Packs or whatever. Cheat me once, shame on you, cheat me twice, shame on me), that simple fact means that I'm not even going to pick the game when it's released, and if they are a bit too tardy, ever, because it's a game...

From what we've seen on their videos and description of seasons, I think we can expect harvesting structures to be in place, but the rest is in ruins. You repair these, or build from scratch in a better location (but that requires a lot more resources, which you won't be able to vault). The...

They wrote about mines, mills and stuff. Meaning you don't harvest resources yourself, you get them from the structures that generate them. The fun bit is protecting your Lumberyard from flipping ownership (in GvG worlds), or sneaking to a Mine to get whatever was in its carts (Dregs).

Same here. Main+2 alts got their BRF mission. I first raised 2 followers to 660, nothing even in the evening when coming back from work. Raised a third, mission popped 30s later. On the 2 alts, I pushed 3 followers to 660, and got the mission waiting on the main tab, or after closing/re-opening...

Like the rest, they probably have multiple victory conditions, and thus some campaign may differ. Obvious ones: The top X% of K/D ratios win. Permadeath + last X% of the total players win (the dead simply recover the 20% of what they had in Vault, if any, before they died). Score points by...

Simply look at stuff like GW2 or WoW. The ratio of french servers to overall servers tells you what to expect. GW2: 51 servers EU/NA, 5 french servers, ~9% WoW: 266 EU+ 247 NA, 35 french servers, ~7% So, you can expect to lose about 7 to 8% of your players if you don't do french. It's not...

It's a faucet. If the prices drop, that's because the offer exceeds the demand, so your token sits in the AH until it sells at discounted price, hence Blizzard generates the difference. If the prices rise, that's because the demand exceeds offer, and thus your token sells immediately or close...

Original title didn't translate well enough for audiences. If you can't directly translate, better find a new title that's at least evocative. Be happy, we've had more... weirder translations. You really don't want to know. Like when we translate an english title like "The Hangover" into... a...

What you want is "meaning". You want the world to have meaning, whatever meaning is to you. And it's difficult to do. Meaning is what gives us stories to tell. I mean, I still remember exactly where, in WK, I heard that floppy sandal sound for the first time as three of us were crossing it...

... with 30+ people all wearing different gear on screen.

If you're 100, then doing the quests that unlock followers is very quick. The additional advantage (if you've got the cash) is that doing each outpost questline unlocks the other followers at the vendor in your city hall, so you get double supply. Look in your garrison report window (the...

Don't think so. If you haven't done so, grab 75 coins from Lunar Festival (last day), buy robe/tunic/BP heirloom and upgrade to 100 so that you have +10%. If you've got cash buy the rest of the heirlooms. Guide: follow the quest lines to grab as many followers you can, do Garrison Resources...

Full-on PVP on transient procedurally generated worlds, with Garrison-type personal instances between PVP wars.

You also get a bag of +level items once a week (if you log every day). That's about +10 levels per month, even if you "play" 30s per day (it's on day 6 of the week in your login calendar).

I love how "working as intended" meant people with 25+ kills not getting mythic, then suddenly, 8 hours later, everyone with 21 reports getting their Mythic cache.

It's a bit painful in terms of communication. Rygarius, man, you DO know the source of loot rules is guesses, right? Because you never told anyone what those "working as intended" rules were.

It did work before, just not as much because you couldn't do a full tier upgrade (+15ilvls). I had one raid mission that required me to raise 3 followers at 654 to get to 98% instead of 92.

It's on your armory profile; hover the mouse over the raid block at whatever tier you need to check. Lists all the individual boss kills, so you do have to do sums.
