    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...

    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...

    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.

    It's the "daily limit" syndrome. Basically, you know that, if you don't do it today, it's gone, and you've lost out on it. You can't catch up on your mine, garden. So you feel compelled to get it when it's there.

    You don't have many alts, do you? With 7 90+ chars, it takes me almost 2h to do the full rounds of the garrisons, and that's without doing any daily quest/dungeon/whatever. Just gathering, picking work orders, and resubmitting missions (which is the least part of it).

    They apparently hotfixed some stuff on raid missions. I had my first three level 100 have their raid mission pop within a minute or two of raising a couple followers to 645. However, last night, I did it on my fourth level 100, and the mission didn't show up, even in the morning. I've raised a...

    It should pop within a minute. If you want to optimize gear updates, look on Master Plan which 2 followers are the most commonly used in all 4 missions, raise them to 660, then look at which mission pops to raise the last needed (if lucky). There's apparently a bunch of missions at 675 as...

    Production pipelines, mostly. First, your artist teams aren't going to switch over to doing game design. If they're good artists, they're probably not-so-good designers, and vice-versa. So, once your artists have made their first pass of a zone, they start on the second, then the third...

    Or Warcraft 4. Regarding WoW "2", the thing is about the same for every MMO company. Unless you have a MMO that is dying or has core problems that can't be fixed, you don't put a new version of it to cannibalize. You make a different MMO. You don't make WoW2, you make Starcraft Universe, a...

    That was a point that a friend was making yesterday while we had post-movie dinner, in view of the Yahoo rumors on WoW having an expansion ready to announce. "Why? There's absolutely no MMORPG on the horizon this year. Or even next year" (except some terrible Koreans F2P grinders)
