Actually, given that their reason for not allowing us to fly is because "our quest content is much better experienced on ground", the achieve are good, since they "prove" you've done all that questing at least once, on ground. Been there, done that, now gimme me flyin' mount. The 3 reps are...

Archeology digsites. Seriously. I haven't "finished" archeology because every dig site is "find dig site. Take stupid flying path that lands me opposite dig site from where I am. Find correct road, run around a dozen mob packs. Dig. Run back to fly point, repeat". But outside of that, there's...

It's not the assault dailies, it's the bonus objectives. Basically, the parts of the outpost quests you did not select, since the Loremaster achieve is awarded if you've only done half of the each zone. The combo Loremaster+Bonus ensures you've done ALL the quests in the game, or their...

Thing is, I have all the reqs save 2 bonus objectives (which I'll complete, because why not). And of course the Revered with all 3 reps. Which I was going to completely neglect because, fuck, I'm still not even Revered with the trade post rep...

You may have quests for Dungeons if you've built the Inn (and are lucky). Dungeons are the poor parent of WoD, the one that no one wants to deal with.

But your inventory won't. Basically, what you wear and hold remains in limbo while you're back in the EK, and what you move around the EK (restocking the vendors) will (presumably) fall back into your bank when you go back.

Background download went 2 weeks ago, so the art content is basically done. They're still balancing some stuff, so 2 more weeks. (the current build isn't yet labelled "Release", so it's not considered ready for the launch hotfix avalanche)

Note that 1) In GW2, levels mean very little (there's a reason why people flock to areas, and it has nothing to do with the area's "level") 2) The next incarnation of GW2 appears to remove some of the "xp leveling" in favor of achievement-based progression: your abilities are no longer...

This is why, when levels stopped to matter, people looked at other simple, numeric scales to differentiate which content they had access to. Gearscore became popular, then ilvl after Blizzard started showing it and homogenizing primary stats per ilvl.

Where does this rumor of random diabloed loot comes from? 6.2 raid loot does not have any RNG beyond the current tertiary useless stats, warforged and socket. Every raid loot piece has fixed stats with zero variations. What has changed is that, where you had stuff like +200/+220...

What's going to be painful is that they've finally given us a reason to get out of our Garrisons: harvesting Felblight. Up to now, it really didn't matter much that you lacked flight. Once you had finished the questing, Apexis dailies have a flight point extremely close to them, no one needed to...

The normal answer would be that Draenor flying is the reward of the Draenor Loremaster achievement. Or, if you want it to be more of a "been there, done that" vein, say Draenor Veteran (requires Draenor Loremaster, 8 of the apexis dailies, and the Garrison Campaign). As an achievement, it...

Standard psychology 101: People tend to get pretty much pissed when you take away their rewards. (the salt-on-wounds-rubbing of adding flying mounts on the store doesn't help Blizzard's position on their Vision? of the game)

"Alchemy is working perfectly".

Yep. What "Dregs" define is: "alliance is not determined prior to campaign" (unlike Faction/God/Guild where your current allegiance immediately gives you allies) and "winner take 100% of vault, loser take 0%" (they might possibly dissociate those two) cards of the rule deck. The rest of the...

What they're saying is that they can design stuff to be +200/+50 or +140/+140 or +75/+180. Notice that, the closer the two values, the higher the total: that's how item formula works (it's actually based on something like the total of all stats x^1.5 is fixed). If you look at wowhead, the...

Wild ass guessing: Let's say that campaigns are tailored for a peak of 1000 simultaneous players. Typical ratio is 5-to-1, i.e. 5 times more players than actual connected players at peak prime time, meaning a campaign is actually 5000 players who have joined. Finally, lets say you have...

Varied from campaign to campaign. We already know Terminator ruleset (no import of anything), there's probably Rusty Weapons ruleset (one weapon only, nothing else), Full Gear ruleset, Materials only, and All you can carry ruleset.

It's not an awful experience. It's a different experience, and most important, one that is NOT for everyone. That's what games have failed to realize. They've tried to make crafting easy, even mandatory at times (WoW, I'm looking at your - defunct - craft boni). Look no further than EVE...

Yup, that's the big question: would you rather have them monetize the EK feudal king stuff, or monetize the campaigns? P2F (Pay 2 Fluff) vs P2W is an easy choice.

I can point to WoW's garrison. A lot of people wanted a lot from those. The result were disappointing, because ultimately, they were too self-contained, devoured your game time for daily chores, and they did not reflect the results of your game play (the monuments pedestal are horribly...

Yup. It lists the starting quest, the achievement lists the end quest. What's important is which of the 6 zones it's in.

You don't. Coming 6.2, the cost of blood in primal spirits drop to 25, plus if you're alchemist, you get enough reagents to get a blood every 2 days. Combined with the fact that in 6.2, all the tiers 1 to 3 use the same 15 blood equals "barn isn't nice, but not mandatory anymore".

The campaigns ARE the meat of the game. The problem with the campaign thing is that you need permanence, and that means something outside of those (i.e. EK).

I don't think there's any pattern/plan in campaign. The campaign gives you relics (i.e. power boosts) and resources (and possibly locally crafted gear if you can Vault those), but nothing else.

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Newsto the right side, "today in draenor". Lists all the daily stuff.

I don't think there's anything to spend coins on within a campaign. I wouldn't have been surprised if you could not make coins in a campaign either; you should be forced to transport the raw and bulky ore to the export Vault, whose capacity is probably limited. But they've intimated that players...

Quality doesn't affect the follower's chances, it just opens more abilities. So, no, Harrison doesn't give the follower additional traits. However, a level 90 with ilvl 675 Harrison Jones will count as a max-level 675 follower, AND EARN XP as such. I wish Harrison had been available when I...

It wasn't dynamic content, it was episodic content. The world didn't change in response to player actions, but every month the devs would change stuff. It was as simple as having snow cover crawl down from mountains (and mattekars coming with it) during winter, as surprising as having an entire...

RIOTS!

It depends on your timeframe. Over the long run, running LFR is useless. I had an alt that did a few LFR, with some gear, and who currently has none of that LFR gear anymore. Instead, he sports full garrison stuff, plus one apexis helm. You get regular 645 epics from gear tokens, which sits...

Nice to see that SOE^WDaybreak still can't make an animation or movement looks ok. The movement on that video looks Luclin-model levels of bad.

Stop there. Mythic is about 1% of the people (not raiders, overall people). The fact that Mythic is bad/out of reach/whatever really impacts, like, 100k players total. That would add a whopping 3% to that sub loss assuming every Mythic player stopped playing. (plus, of course, that's Q1. In...

Given how volatile the price of the token seem to be, I doubt there's a huge number of gold tokens exchanged. I mean, we're relatively hardcore around here, and I know I got like 200k gold, which isn't very high compared to some... but I'm probably the second or third richest of my guild. And...

Note that those stores perpetuate the average margins, despite the fact that they no longer have inventories and much in the way of staff to pay. As demonstrated by the recent brouhaha from the Skyrim paid mods on Steam, where the modders discovered that they'd get 25%, Steam 25% and Bethesda...

It's also the easiest and less risky part of the design.

They're control freaks. What else did you expect, a player-made market?

Wasted 4 orders. I was keeping it safe, only converting GR into orders when I was going to hit 10k.

Same here, my harvester druid just built an inscription and alchemy buildings to churn out cards and non-bound catalysts. I could stop the cards though, the market for the trinkets is completely dead, although the catalysts are still useful, if only to make savage bloods on my alchemist.

I first thought that some gaming site I had to register for had managed to bypass its "no spam plz" setting. But no, it was straight from Daybreak. Now, to find how to change those settings on the new outfit...
