I hesitate to mention this, but I don't think the reliance on mumble is helping things. I know for myself, voice comm either conflicts with whatever PUG I'm in or requires a level of attention to the game that I can't always support (need to be able to hear wife, kid, etc). So even though I'm online a lot, I never actually participate in goon things. So, I hang out in cabal chat, or the LFG channel and lurk in the LoMSGlobal channel (public channel of a group of cabals) to find groups. /awful is so low traffic that I don't bother anymore.

You can hang in mumble without using the voice comm part of it. Hell, most of the time when I hung out in mumble, I didn't talk, just text chatted. Most people will usually mention in chat what they say in voice, as well.

Me, Zhaan, Orcane and hugh seldom communicate with voice. /awful has always been low traffic. I don't know why people even bother to use it.

So I reinstalled my client (again) in the new directory Funcom support told me to. Game works instead of blackscreening again, but I went to do a pubbie 18 and couldn't see the purple drops from the bosses until I reloaded my ui. So uh, I guess I'm only doing elite groups with goons if I want any shot with augments. Lost rolls on a purple and four greens yesterday in a pub group.

New highlight pubbie argument: "The people complaining about lag really should stop complaining & get a better graphics card with more memory. It's extremely selfish to demand that an event which hundreds of other players enjoy should be shut down, just because you suffer from lag." Why do I even bother, really.

Len posted:3) Have drops in bauble I killed two golems and then bought a few bags off the auction house that ended up having all the clothes I wanted (and the Lunar Shem). Event success, I guess? The doubled AP on the other hand, gave me about 350 AP from an elite group scenario run with the milkshake on, so that was amusing.

I'm grinding it out for the pet, but fuuuuuuuck this is not fun. The drops are kinda cool but I'm sure there's a better way to do them. Edit: Oh yeah and making gobs of money (to me) off the green signet bags I open all the time.

Sell everything, buy the bags. I got half the pieces out of bags I bought, doing that by killing golems (as in, hit them then go afk till they're dead) would have taken take ages, considering how many 1-bullion bags and flares I got

Sell the signet bags on the AH, and consider buying the golem bags off the AH unless your killing the golems for the AP. Selling the signet bags will usually net you more then what you could sell the random signet for.

I misspoke. I opened the bags from the purple event drops, then sold them unopened. Edit: And yeah, I kinda need the AP.

Either way I bet signet bags go for more than the 2700 pax you can get for the blue signet of whatever (-threat on crit heals) I got from a bag earlier.

Okay Secret World Goons, help me out here. I'm interested in playing this game with the Mrs, but some pages back there was a lot of talk about solo instancing. Is this game the kind of thing you can do a two person team run, or is it a bunch of single player quests with the occasional group/co-op quest shoehorned in? Would be kind of disappointing if the latter.

dasbrooner posted:Okay Secret World Goons, help me out here. You usually get out of these instances fairly quickly, so you can play together, do all the mission steps outside together, go into a solo instance each, do your thing inside, get out and rejoin your group. Dungeons/lairs aside, all missions are designed to be soloable but they don't actively restrict group play, except for some "solo instance" interiors.

dasbrooner posted:Okay Secret World Goons, help me out here. You can mostly get by fine doing quests with 2 people although you will run into portions of quests which require solo instances(some can be meetup exploited). All this means is each person must be capable of killing a couple of mobs solo, not that big of an issue. The main problem area for this is savage coast, things get better after that. My first character I leveled as a "healer" with multiple other people in group and every time a solo instance came up I just abandoned the quest and waited for everyone to finish then joined on next quest. Everyone leveling should be using a solo build no matter how many other people you are leveling with. This means you have to do some extra grinding to be able to tank/heal dungeons, get carried or wait till q10 to do elite dungeons.

If you held onto/didn't claim the Opera Magna (+100% monster kill xp) from the start of the Filth event, you can use it, the Time Accelerator, one of the store's double AP Boosts, and the Weekend double AP boost all together for 12x AP. I got over 700 AP from doing three scenarios.

Maybe we should complain about that mask on the forums and guilt Funcom into giving the community the choice of another future subscriber item. Get the pubs back for the horse head bitch fest last summer. GoodPlatMurray, that's your que to get unbanned and make it happen.
