If you're on an alt, you probably don't. But then, if you're on an alt, you're not at the 12th campaign questline. I've begun doing some stuff for the fun, like having each possible building at least in one garrison. My NE druid is recruiting a team of all female followers. The Draenei mage is...

The first 8 are random. Once you've done these, you get the last 4 in order.

And haven't been bit by the campaign bug. I'm still salty over that.

That's home routers for like 15$. Those things were really underpowered 6-8 years ago. And that's the firewall/NAT part (OSI layer 4) which limits stuff. Layer 3 routing (IP) consumes no significant resources. A 100k-capable firewall costs probably around 1k.

That's basically how WoW worked until MoP. Every piece of gear beyond the base minimum required you to do some stuff in groups (even if it was a pickup where no one talked except maybe "hello" at the beginning). If you soloed, well, you did see zones and questlines, but didn't get far in the...

What did we get since Sand Art? We had the class scheme (all we got was a few more class names). We had the combat system (weapon prof+slotable skills) and nothing really new. We had the open world destructible system. Yes, we got some AI district conquest simulation stuff that wasn't alluded...

i.e. "I want to remake EQ using Unity assets"?

Some routers have a difficulty managing too many connections. My old one was capped at 50; once it had 50 connections open, new connections would either fail or randomly drop existing ones. I had to tune my torrent client to keep it sane.

I've tried for a while now to have dwarves with dwarven racial, and I'm starting to think you can't be "selfish"; you're not allowed to get the same racial affinity as your own race. I presume it's to avoid complex calculations that would allow a follower a bonus for going on a mission with...

Sooo, the buzz about the Garrison Campaign is starting to rise to big noises... I've been stuck on the same combo a lot of people are reporting: Sargerei, Iron Siegeworks and Ring of Blood. After that, four weeks of no new quest. There's no "!" hidden in the garrison, the Wowhead quest analyzer...

No, they aren't. The point is, when they sold us the early acess stuff, the open beta was supposed to come end of March. 2014.

Well, that's because that's what we're sold by SOE. Or, rather, that's what we're sold now. Back in 2013, it looked like EQN would be some kind of Minecrafty game. And then, they basically said "no, it's basically EQN with player-made stuff instead of official content". And meanwhile, the "beta"...

And I just purchased a bunch of transmog stuff to disenchant. Gee, thanks! (ok, got 2 months to stockpile since they hotfixed the unique limit over 200...)

And such an early 2014 beta. I mean, it's a beta in which we just got mobs. (the normal accepted definition of beta is "when all the core systems are implemented and useable; what remains is fixing stuff, balancing features, and making content". But apparently in modern gaming industry, it's...

Which is funny, because they're preparing for 6.1 PTR. PTR lasts 6 to 8 weeks, so that means 6.1 (and presumably the Iron Dock raid) should hit just after the last LFR boss.

Initially, we were promised a full-fledged game by end of 2013. Then we learned that Smed was talking about EQ:Landmark back when it was EQN: Landmark. Then everything disappeared into a marketing black hole, and nothing. Since apparently, the tools to make EQN don't exist yet (see Landmark...

Yea. The normal BRF ilvl is below heroic Highmaul ilvl, so they're obviously part of the same tier.

PAX South (end of jan), not East (march). They don't trademark bits of the game, however, they always trademarked expansions (including the abandoned Utopia expansion). So yea, either it's a packaged version with Living Story unlocked, or an expansion.

Yea. The solution, it seems, is not to have group encounters that are only DPS, but to have classes that can do every role with the proper skill profile+posture, and then let groups decide who is going to tank, heal, dps, without requiring a specific class/classes for a given role. Rifts...

Thus the conclusion: "changing a game mid-way is really hard".

Don't forget to stockpile some enhancements, BRF missions appear to be ilvl 660 on wowhead (meaning you'll need to raise your follower's ilvl on patch day since you're capped at 655 atm)

And now, I can't read the title without seeing "CrowfaIL"...

They were also two attempts at salvaging a game that was dying. As he said, when he was called on UO, they were hemorrhaging people, they couldn't hold on new people. At that point, you can choose to let the game die or change stuff. The original plan was to let UO die because UO2, then it...

They've alluded at "like A Tale in the Desert". Basically, in ATITD, you can get up to 7 achievements in 7 disciplines. Some are easy, other are infuriatingly hard, a lot are competitive. When you have all 7 Oracles (i.e. one person gets 7 ranks in a discipline), the game ends, server resets...

If you've already played the - now defunct - Civ facebook game, well, that's not it. XL Games (Archeage) is trying to get the A Tale in the Desert mixed with PvP: Civilization Online

I've dialed back on missions, since basically every follower is epic quality/630+, 2/3 of them are 645, and I've got every possible raid covered at 100%. I'm still harvesting since it's basically my main Savage Blood ressource thru Primal Spirits; I've entirely given up on trying to get an...

I ended up with 3 scavengers, meaning I'm trying to figure out how to spend 1000GR in a single click at the trade post. Two epic mounts, but I don't care much about them, after a couple weeks, you only need to send missions twice a day anyway so duration doesn't matter. Got 14 followers at...

It is also chiefly a different philosophy about marketing. After a number of such "early alpha" games that I've been thru, I'm now perfectly convinced that every such is a sucker bait. Since Steam allowed us to put on ignore games, I've been steadily putting each and every "early access" game...

No, but then neither is LFR required to unlock normal raid missions. When they explained a bit the raid missions, it seemed like you would need to do some LFR, but apparently not. First raid popped the day after my followers started hitting 645.

Yea, and once you all have maxed epics except the one, Master Plan will happily put the fastest XP gain for that one up top.

Last Highmaul raid mission (Jan 1st! New year start!), I had all 6 counters, 1 racial bonus, Blook's bonus, plus 1 High Stamina. At the moment, I'm finishing my lineup (half my staff is 645), then I'll push them all to 655. To be sure. (got lucky with my only two followers with Massive Strike...

What's happened for me is that, basically, I'm considering tearing down the Barn due to aggravation. Elites are camped all day long, and once you get into prime-time, the trap-stealing starts. As a source of savage blood, it's probably getting worse than simple primal spirits across a couple alts...

If you're going to pay for server hopping, what's a few RMT purchases for your gold?

I see more and more people camping the riverbeast spot. While the initial wave of ravenous high-end guilds gearing themselves fast has gone. More offer, less demand = falling prices.

However, the 95-99 missions have a, ahem, mediocre drop rate of crates.

Need to kill 15 normal mode bosses for heroic caches (or 15 heroic for mythic ones). Plus actually getting the raid mission to pop. (only one so far, but that was 8 days ago)

Actually, no. You really replace your items fast during leveling, you don't get that many per zone, and epic upgrades you get with an extra +10 would basically mean having one or two items per zone not replaced during the next zone. And each zone is about 2-3h of /played tops if you take your...

Nope, it's a bonus counter that counts as half a "normal" counter. You'll have to wait for the legendary follower for a real 3-counter one.

It's 95. On the "below 95" pool missions, you only get small sacks regardless of your Salvage Yard. 95 and above, you get max whatever bag/crate your level yard can give.
