    It's Florida, so I imagine the grading is because of water. They did the house next door (which closed last week, even though their offer was 2 weeks after ours), and I have no clue why they didn't just do ours at the same time. That's probably the biggest reason I'm pissed. Literally just do it...

    Walkthrough went fine. For some reason they still haven't graded the fucking property, which also means no sod. We can't get a certificate of occupancy inspection cleared until it's done. Our closing was scheduled for the 19th, pushed to the 21st now. I'm getting pretty pissed about the whole...

    I'd say literally all of these problems could've been resolved with testing at high levels. But they rushed this game and had no focus. Like, the gold sink one is plainly obvious. You get literally fuck all for gold, but then everything starts to cost hundreds or thousands. Maybe their testing...

    I've been mostly enjoying myself, but I feel like I'm getting a bit bored. Farmed a shit load of iron to get my mining up to 175 (there were some elite areas I did for the weapon quest in Great Cleave where you can spawn a boss by mining it and get an elite chest, but no one had the skill in my...

    Considering one of my biggest complaints prior to release was how big an afterthought "grouping" was (like not being able to share any quests at all), it doesn't surprise me, and I doubt they do anything.

    Healing is just dog shit in this game. You've basically got to predict where the group is going to be and place a circle down in anticipation. If the boss pushes the group away, does a crazy jump, or the group just isn't paying attention, all the sudden your heals are completely ineffective...

    I started most of them solo, and then usually someone (or several) would show up to help. They're all different though, so what you did may not be what I do, outside of the pre quest. It sounds like you're talking the pre quest and yeah, that was a giant fucking pain in the ass. Respawn is so...

    Looks like for mine there are 7, not including the pre-requisite quest (so basically 7 quests after getting the one with the weapon name). I'm apparently on the last one now, in Myrkgard. Should make finding help easy.

    This legendary class weapon quest thing sure is a doozy. Travel all over the map killing 35-40 elites and sometimes bosses, collect shit, etc. Luckily it seems you can do a lot of it with a duo. But some of it requires at least a full group.

    The 55's are buggy as fuck too. I've only seen one closed once (in MD). That's why I mentioned it the other day. It's almost impossible to run end game dungeons right now because the portals are broken. I've ran a dozen hours of portals and still don't have enough for a key.

    So does buying stuff increase your drop item level? I feel like it has to since otherwise you'd never be able to get jewelry up, but at the same time, like people said, in a month tons of 600 stuff will be for sale for like 25 gold because they really fucked up the way items work in this game...

    Mother of God. 84 months? I always hated the idea of a 60 month. Don't they say the average time a person lives in a home they buy is 7 years?

    I've got a t3, t4, and the gator bag (Ebonscale quest, it's similar to t4). I'm almost always under 1/4. I did almost fill it with an hour of hunting iron ore (3k iron, 1k silver), but that's a pretty extreme event. And I was basically tired of farming ore by then.

    I think they may have overdone it on the refining materials. My storage is completely overloaded with them a day later.

    Ran Dynasty at 60 because for some reason I thought 500+ stuff would drop. No dice. So don't waste your time running it more than once. I think they fixed chests and now I've got way too many refining ingredients. Like, almost 1000 of the green ones, 500+ of the blue ones...not as many common...

    Spent some time in SM today. Maybe 2 hours? Ended up with 3-400 of each of the blue refining things. There are so many fucking chests in Myrkgard (got a lot doing the forts for those awful quests, too). Didn't really do anything worthwhile since we couldn't find anyone to come (ended up with 4...

    Yeah, I've burned through all my azoth. When you don't have the main quest or portals running, it disappears fast. They really need to fix the portals because otherwise no one is going to run those end game dungeons. I've done a TON of portals, and combining all the shard things I'm still a...

    The only reason would be people who started on different servers than their friends. But that seems like it'd be pretty niche. I said it last week that the queues are gone, transfers aren't needed. If anything, they're going to need to consolidate soon.

    Wow, Shattered Mountain quests are hard as fuck. Getting hit for 2k+ in heavy armor. When you get swarmed, it's game over. I guess I need to get some 500 gear score armor and fast.

    The reality is we're probably looking at 20% inflation. We aren't expecting 20% every year (or at least I fucking hope not). Therefore, it's transitory. It's a stupid distinction because unless you're super rich, it hurts either way.

    That's what I was saying though, the DrLupo video with the dev comments said quests don't count. So it's nice to have, but it doesn't impact your drops. I also have no idea how you unlock the quest line. I've cleared out everything in Great Cleave. I haven't done any in Shattered Mountain, so...

    It's technically not a lie. That's what transitory means. That most people don't understand it doesn't matter. The part that matters is they downplayed it like "transitory" doesn't matter. I'd argue it's actually worse.

    Yeah, me too. I knew they had a patch, but 5 hour downtime for that piddly ass update? Man AGS, get your shit together. This game might end up dead just because they aren't actually fixing anything worthwhile.

    I thought level 60 portals don't work? I also thought on that Lupo video that he said it's only stuff that drops for you, not quests/bought stuff.

    What are you running for gear? The Shattered Mountain elites and Dynasty? I hit 60 last night but I'm kind of unsure where you go for gear upgrades. Also, that's weird about Dynasty. I've only ran it once and I thought it was super easy (as a healer). We had a level 51 tank, too, although that...

    Got another bad one. "Shrouded in Twilight." Level 48, I'm pretty sure it's part of one of those armor quests. You need 14 of an item, but they apparently coded it wrong, and there's only 1 spawn. On a 1 minute respawn timer.

    Speaking of quests, all those armor building quests (with gear 420, 440, 460) you were apparently supposed to keep, but no one did. I guess at the end of the questline you upgrade them. Awesome...faggot developers.

    Game definitely has some issues, but it's two weeks in. And as said, before this came out the consensus seemed to be everyone hoping to get 100 hours or a month out of it. Seems like a success in that. I doubt anyone's really done the end game dungeons yet. There's still content, it's just...

    My original goal was to get 100 hours out of it. I'm at 130. And I'll likely play for a bit longer. So I'd say it was worthwhile.

    Wait, what? The 600 item score crafted stuff is BoP? That's a strange decision if so.

    The crafting complaints are kind of the same. The amount of materials needed to level from 1-100 is something like 3% of what's needed from 101-200. This game has some massive parabolic shit built in. Likely because they didn't test anything but the first 30-40 levels.

    You just wait. I read something in Global chat that 1-50 is 1.3 million xp, and 51-60 is 1 million. Believe me, there aren't enough quests. Otherwise you wouldn't see people in their 50's running town board quests, Amrine, and portals. That's literally all there is.

    Likely by the time they get transfers worked out, they'll be completely unnecessary. I haven't had a queue in like 5 days. Every time I see a level 60 I feel a little bad for them. I'm not sure why. Maybe the fun part of the game is over for them? And yet, I'm 4 and a half levels from it. And...

    So Edengrove is super vibrant (maybe too much), but man is it a fucking annoyance to travel in. Like Great Cleave but worse. Doing the main quest and you have to run 2-3km on a single pathway with no variance on the left/right, and it's filled with level 59-60 archers and shit. SUPER FUN!
