We made yang rou chuanr out of them, which is funny since yang rou means mutton, but when you buy meat here you never know what it actually is!

What server is the guild on now?

Do we have 20 people at 520 hit?

Somehow, I doubt it.

I thought the difference between 500 and 520 was that white hits are not 100% and abilities are 100%.

e: vvvv so then if you have talents that reduce/ignore target's resistance, such as Inq's Spiritual Scrutiny, you only need 500?

When you buy subscription games that also require you to pay an upfront cost, you usually get a free month included.

On the bright side it seems like only Infinity Gate will be released.

I kind of like the gimmick for the Brothers of Life and Death at least. Also the theme for the raid overall is kinda neat - not moving around to do trash :3:.

Daglar posted:

If you are able to buy gear now, buy it now. The conversion of Raid Marks to Expert will not be at an inflated rate. The cost of raid 1 gear in expert marks is a greatly raised number.

I realize that this can leave a very small number of people left in the lurch if they were close to buying a piece of gear - but upon reviewing the numbers, we cannot do a Raid Mark to Expert Mark conversion that is greater than 1:1 due to economic issues relating to the fact that Raid Marks had no cap previously.

The problem for those few users that were on the cusp of buying a piece should equalize itself out rather rapidly due to the gain rate of expert marks.

so having just done the new 5man on the pts, a few thoughts:

- length. god drat there's a lot of trash in that instance and only one trash mob is even vaguely interesting. i guess there's a reason the rapid assault is 35 minutes but it would be 35 very boring minutes
- graphics/particle effects: the whole place has some ridiculous haze over it. the effect is cool at first, then irritating, then downright infuriating and headache inducing. it certainly does look nice, though
- the bosses are really cool but some of them feel like rehashed bosses and others i couldn't really tell what was happening with mechanics. we ended up 3manning greenscale because our other 2 dps died (to what? who knows) and my tank gear (from live) was good enough to survive his enrage mechanic
- atrophinius is a mix of (GA) kaliban and chekaroth. frozen terror is almost a carbon copy of uv-315 (or w/e his name is) from golem foundry. the other two bosses are cool.
- it was easy in my gear but i would concede that it would be much, much harder in expert gear pre-expert gear, especially if fresh 60s got it as a random. it's far more unforgiving and the damage is tuned pretty high (greenscale was hitting me for 20k before enrage). the bosses and trash also have significantly more hp than other experts.

overall it's a nice dungeon and the fights are still fun, but i can see pugs wiping on the first boss, never to return. it's also very long. it feels like this will top storm breaker as the pugcrusher instance for sure.

I tanked a normal Tower of the Shattered last night and two-manned the first boss with the healer, so they're not all bad :downs:

I have this issue with the fog effect you get with quantum sight (to see red shinies). You get bluegreen fog all around the outside border of your screen and for whatever reason, after about 10 minutes of that effect on my screen I get a queasy feeling and a headache. Turning off quantum makes the physical effects go away.

The only solution is to turn off all post-processing, which takes away a bunch of cool effects but at least I can have fun (shinies!) without getting a headache.

I feedbacked it a while ago and begged them to make the quantum sight "fog" effect toggleable in options somewhere but maybe they didn't believe me. No other effect gives me problems, but that fog every time makes my head hurt.

Like the frozen terror? Hyuk hyuk.

The instance was kinda lame and when we tested it the event after atrophinius was like literally the worst thing ever.

It's definitely easier if you either tank or heal, but not by much.

The goons are on Deepwood, which is pve and has a good population. These days you can do a lot of events cross-shard so it's less of an issue. Couldn't really say for the other servers, but I imagine most of them are pretty full.
