    At the moment, we're about at 6 steady players, with maybe 8 on raid nights. Sometimes. We're not even trying to recruit PUGs to fill up the ranks, we're probably going to go the "find a compatible guild and merge" route like during LK. The previous hiatus in MoP wasn't has harsh as this one...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The problem of the Unity asset store (or any asset store) is that you end up with no style. You don't have a personal style, you have a generic type of look. Your in-game screenshots are not immediately recognizable as "this comes from XXX" (at least if you turn off your UI, which I assume would...

    You know WoW is between expansions when people start getting over furious on the slightest non-existent games (see also Star Citizen thread).

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    It's a common theme. Most game-changing companies are headed by people you really don't want to work for (but end up working because they DO change things).

    Run LFR. LFR is basically intro with all the punishing mechanic disabled, notably the 2-tanks requirements. All bosses are a bit better with two tanks, but all the mechanics that require swapping and the like are disabled/survivable. After a couple runs, you'll have a better idea on how the...

    Yup. Unless you're in a very active guild and pushing some content (be it Mythic or even Heroic), it's basically "complete achieves and fill collections" time. I still haven't finished the full archeology base. Because, for some reason, any Pristine artefact counts as "you've solved that...

    Yea, but favorite is account-wide, right? I pick mounts based on race/class of the character (plus, you get the oddities like flight form and plainsrun... sorry, running wild). Can't win all.

    I was trying to figure out which bug mount was in Draenor when I suddenly twigged on the Tol'vir crate smuggling with that arrakoa. Same thing here, except I'm trying to get the crawling hand (lucky me got the Ultramarine during Cata).

    Internally, they're quests (and if you have 25 active quests, they don't activate nor update), and almost all of them have your outpost quest for the zone as a prereq. *edit* as noted just above.

    Alas, with an expansion, you get that for two, maybe three weeks, and then it's over until next expansion. Spreading it brings you back every couple weeks for a long time.

    The "let's add zones over time" model of the last season (with the free/gem unlock model) is probably a better fit than the whole "let's have an expansion". However, a push toward the Crystal Desert/Kourna/Elona is part of a different storyline, and they will almost certainly finish with the...

    The difference in prices tells me I don't need to bother trying to farm for a mount; I'm probably facing the prospect of 150+ dungeon runs to afford a single one (mount cost about 100 times a piece of gear, and I doubt you can get one piece per run, let alone more than one).

    My recommendation at that point is "finish harvesting whatever's in range, then accept". You get a run speed buff for 1h (30mn? I think it's 1h) when you accept.

    Actually, it's the "megaserver" setup they switched to a year or so ago. Instead of one instance of lowbie zone per server, it's one instance per X players. So there's always someone, except when you're on an instance that was spawned because a world boss was going to pop up, and the players...

    There's a few catch-ups already in place: drops are higher if you've got the achieve, and if you don't, you have garrison missions to catch up, plus 20k apexis per week to buy an additional batch of items. So the time gates are a lot sped up. However, you face about 4-5 weeks of last phase...

    There's games and games, though. Good games make you understand what you're doing and teach you how to play them. Bad games don't, and the "lucky" who "get it" find it ok, while the ones who would need pointers... simply stop caring at one point. That's where GW2 fails. It simply does not...

    And that is why the game fails for me. It's a game that has only one defined framework: dps. Anything else is ad-hoc glued to it. You have zero indicators on how you're supposed to play, the non-trinity means you can't draw on your game experience to figure it out. So, a lucky few figure out...

    All my alts have level 3 garrison and inn, and will probably end up with 25 treasure hunters by Legion day. 30s per day for all gold+GR missions, done. No need to even go fetch the cache. None of them ever went in a dungeon. They all took the ring quest, just to get that obnoxious wandering...

    Neither am I. At the moment, I'm still trying to optimize my stable of alt's gear, which is killing time since they're going to replace every piece probably within 15mn of the intro quest to Legion, and none of them ever do dungeons or raids anyway. At one point, I'm going to rip the Salvage...
