That's an allusion to the demo Neriak video for EQN in which some DE move around, apparently at random, and perform some magical linkage whenever they got near one of the floating orbs described as "scrying orbs".

I don't really object to the "reset everything come 7.0" part. I object to the "we don't have any garrison at all planned for 7.0" part, seeing as I like the core idea. Even if I disagree with the details of how it is right now, I love the garrison concept.

Nope. Instead, you're sitting AFK in your own garrison after sending out a bunch of NPC followers who bring you back higher level gear than you can raid on your own. Although I enjoy city/outpost/whatever management games, this one is, unfortunately, only a pale shadow of what you could do with...

There's only three levels of success: 1) Did it make more money than it cost 2) Does it make enough money that you'll make another 3) Does it make more money that you can afford to make any game whatsoever It's also known as the Hollywood scale of success ("did that movie make money?"...

Any thread about an unrealeased-not-even-beta-yet game turns into one.

We have that discussion about twice a year, if I remember right. Levels are a terrific and efficient way of measuring your progress ("you're ready for Dreadlands now") and communicating your progress to other people ("we need a level 45 for LGuk"). It breaks down at level cap because you...

Beats being firedduring a celebration bowling & pizza party.

The Scots are pretty miffed that the Japanese are getting more and more spots on the top 10 rankings for whisky. I like it, but for me, it's (was) Islay all the way. Had the pretty good fortune of finding a misplaced bottle of Port Ellen 3 years ago ("Just for ref, how much?" "230?" "Ok, I'll...

It's even more funny when going after Socrethar during garrison campaign the way the horde and alliance paladin shower their counterpart with praise. Mostly the alliance guy, I think he wants a date with Liadrin.

You do have a gated access in WoD. No silver level, no access. It's not that hard and it's quick, but it is a gated access. Of course, unless you want specifically to do heroics because you want the legendary ring, you can completely dispense with it and jump into raiding.

The main difference between "Everquest Quests" and "modern quests" is that they have completely different goals. The first sort are objective-based quests. You have a specific objective (usually an item), you have a quest or questline to pursue (I'm skipping over the random repeatable filler...

I'd probably fire (preferably in the literal sense) the guy responsible for the Luclin models first. If he's still there.

There's been a steady push over the last year to remove fungibility of activities. Basically, you could do whatever you liked and you got rewards for what you wanted to become. You got skill points to buy whatever skill you wanted. You would level and get your talents. You would play normally...

My guess is that you only get skill points from skill scrolls, the ones you currently randomly gain when opening champion/boss pouches. There might be a slightly less random way of obtaining them, but then, maybe not. What is probably going to perk everyone's interest the Precursor Mastery...

I didn't said that Blizzard never puts two raids on the same tier. I said that the indications were that BRF WAS supposed to be a 6.1 raid. The fact that it was pushed to mid-6.0, probably for the very reason you give (they feared "people started getting bored" since the significant sub drop...

Everything points to the fact that BRF was intended to be the 6.1 raid. 1) There's NO 6.1 raid 2) All the non-actual raid related items like additional tradeskill, garrison, legendary questline and follower was going in for 6.1 on schedule 3) They had to finish some tuning in the 6.1 PTR...

The message is the old message that was during beta, where your account could participate in test weekends and so on. Basically, it's an account that's somehow not flagged as having a GW2 game key applied.

It's really different, due to the preeminence of the Garrison in gameplay. You're not playing, most of the time you're managing your garrison: gathering stuff, sending out followers on missions (that give you better gear than you get yourself). Basically, instead of hanging out in the capital...

As long as Liam Neeson is playing it, that's ok.

Since I've just finished reading theDaybreak trilogyby John Barnes, in which Daybreak is an alien-inspired mind virus bent on destroying civilization, I... don't have much difficulty associating that name with SOE. I mean, they almost got it with EverCrack...

Note that, if you do the apexis dailies, you get more faction per week than an invasion consumes, so you usually end up with 2 or 3 invasions pending after doing your weekly. Even more so if you helped rather than launched. The main point of platinum so far looks like it's dropping the Garrison...

6.1 is an odd beast. Despite being officially "tier 1 raid", BRF looks like it's The 6.1 raid. There's no other raid (nor dungeon) for 6.1, all the BRF-related garrison stuff comes out with 6.1 (including Garona), the release of BRF lasts 49 days (from normal/heroic to last LFR wing) across...

We had about 1290 this Saturday without pushing it on a Primal invasion. If you know it's coming and stock up on AOE, it's a point feast.

Which is why I play it. Well, actually no, I play it because that's what I've been playing since vanilla. At my age, it's a bit hard to retrain (which is why I still have problem DPSing in shadow, I'm still instinctively trying to do my "standard rotation" that hasn't existed since early cata).

It's been barely two weeks, and PTR is usually around 6 weeks. However, there's not a lot of new content outside of additional garrison and craft recipes... Despite being officially "first tier", Blackrock looks more like "6.1 raid".

Simple solution: Put "Stage 1 of 3" on them. Allow crafting improvements to be applied to them for +10 ilvl per improve. Done.

Given that I usually empty my mission queue for the night while connecting in the morning and the afternoon, I don't think a mission table is any necessary. The only mission I don't launch is the 90 one (you know which one I'm talking about, do you?)

I think that's the intent of those "masteries". Of course it's not open multi-classing like you had in GW1, it's main class+sub class, but it's their version of multiclassing.

The PTR has me slightly worried, since apparently we got ilvl 675 datamined missions. Better stock up on tokens.

Yea, it would be good if the current Void Storage/Transmog couple was scrapped, you'd simply flag any piece that you bind as "unlocked" account-wide, and you'd have it on transmog forever. But that would mean you could have alts sporting current-tier raid gear look, and we can't have that, can...

What is this shit that requires me to be "authenticated" to view your hype? Seriously? You're so desperate to have my email somewhere you need to force me to jump thru hoops to view your announcements? (even though the forums are publicly viewable)

As opposed to Delvar. If Delvar doesn't die within 15mn of getting out of your Garrison, you're doing it wrong.

They didn't actually lower the amount of XP. It's just that 6 of the professions need to go to 500 now to get their full 10 levels, and those late 100 skill points are painful to raise.

If you have money, that is.

You can still get a +3 / +6 / +9 token, but you can't get a 615 / 630 / 645 token anymore. Unless you're a brand new 100 or rotating followers from the Inn, odds are you don't need base sets, only upgrades. I'm already selling any base set except the 645 ones "just in case".

Unless you have a stablefull of alts. Basically, for your main: 10mn) Do your garrison maintenance: harvest, work orders, cooldowns, launch missions Optional: 10mn) Do fishing daily (include going to closest fishing spot to a flypath; you usually need to fish every 2 days as the 10mn...

Thankfully, you don't need to spend much time. Start in Jade Forest, do most of the quest-lines and none of the side quests, you're 88. I then would skip 4 winds straight to Kunlai Summit and do the quests aiming to the Grummle trail for the free bag; if you're lucky you'll get it before ding...

My problem is that I'm going to exceed the stack limit - again - for the green weapon tokens. If I put them in bank, I'm going to forget about them. What else can you do except put them on your followers until they max their weapon.

Got the same traders for a couple days, haven't checked for today. It's just like everything else: random is random.

All of the followers listed by Master Plan as going in for the BRF missions are upgraded to 654 (no sense in wasting 2 ilvls yet).
