    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.

    I don't think I've even encountered a quest that spawns a mob. Are they all at 60?

    I don't think we've knocked on doors, but when we've seen people outside on places we intended to offer on, we definitely chatted with them to get a feel for the neighborhood.

    Well holy shit, the main quest turn in after Dynasty gave me like 2/3 of a level. Still have some grinding to go until 60 though.

    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.
  18. Gravel

    New World

    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!

    Switch to portal runs when you're bored of town boards? They're decent XP. Glad to hear about the quest exp though. I'm about to be 52 and still haven't run Depths again to finish it. Hopefully soon. So that should push me to 54 or 55 depending on when I run it.

    I got a super awesome purple necklace from boars, and a few gathering armor pieces. That's about it. To be honest, I destroy almost everything now though. Including blues. Ctrl + S + left click is quick salvage.

    Did you go strength build then? I'm still all in on focus, but with hatchet amber gem.

    Weird because it's just set to spawn that fast, it's not "repeatedly chain spawning" anything, they coded it that way.

    I figured out my solution to the mana potion problem. Just run boars for a bit and you get so many god damn drops. It'll absolutely get nerfed eventually, but I've got quite a few now. I've had to spend a lot of time there leveling weapons, because I'm dying constantly trying to quest now...

    Well, my build is officially worthless I think. Although it may just be that I need to start investing in amber gems. That whole super fast respawn (and close spawns) in higher level zones is becoming deadly. I just don't put out nearly enough damage. I'll see if I can find some cheap gems, but...

    This is definitely nice, but around level 45 or so they start respawning so fast that by the time you clear the first few that swarmed you, well, you get to start over. It's a bit ridiculous.

    I have a ton of dragon fish jaws, and a couple soulwyrm tongues, but zero soulsprout flowers.

In which case, again, it seems like a lot of stuff is balanced around...

    Okay, that makes sense. Speaking of, yeah, that shit is way too rare. I need mana pots for healing dungeons, but I haven't seen a single T4 or T5 resource to make one yet. What the fuck? Am I basically supposed to only use T3 potions for the entirety of the game? Obviously no testing went into...

    That's what I made. The 110 heavy armor that takes 10 corrupted talismans. It's...not good. I mean, it'd be good for a level 30 something, but for anyone who can actually run the depths, it's not worth the trouble. I'll screenshot it next time I log in. Unless there are dropped recipes for 40...

    It was mostly that we were looking for something under 1500sqft, and nearly all of them just had bad floorplans where things like the master bath seemed super cramped, or the closet was tiny. With this one, everything looks super spacious. It's all about the layout and this was is mostly good.

    Oh, I also ran the Depths and it was a catastrophic failure. I'm not sure if it's just cause one of our DPS was too low level (42, the other two were 46, tank 46, healer was me at 47; tank and one of the DPS had done it before), but we just couldn't kill the last boss at all. Think we tried...

    Yeah, the reason we went with new is that the floorplans for most houses are so shit for the size we wanted. This basically nailed it all. There are a few minor things we don't like, but for the most part we love it. Although we'll see when we move in. My wife apparently didn't love our last...

    Named pirate (was a quest mob) on the eastern side of Mourningwood. Also, I rescind my statement about crafted items. I made a piece of the Depth armor and it was basically a worse version of the heavy starmetal stuff. So there's jack shit for crafted armor between about 35 and 60...
