I'm pretty sure it was Rasheed or Cheston who dragged us all through. I remember because I got angry/jealous that you were so good at the JP.

Don't think I can take credit for showing anyone CoM, I've only done it like twice. I might have been there while you were demonstrating though.

General Maximus posted:Personally I do that section by deliberately dying about a third of the way through it and rezzing on a nearby platform that's right at the end, but can see where I died so yay, skipping most of the challenge. Nothing strange about that. Almost 100 % of sabotage missions are horrible in one way or another so abusing your immortality is only fair. Getting spotted and strategically positioning your body near next objective is how god intended you to complete them. And the Castle was FAR more annoying than the cost of magic for me.

Stealth sequences and jumping puzzles are two things TSW is particularly ill-suited for, so naturally Funcom went all in.

Looks like there was a server crash or something. The auction house isn't working, and people are saying their friend lists are empty. edit: Server downtime in 15 minutes for "scheduled" maintenance. Should last one hour. prefect fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Nov 27, 2014 |

I know I've brought a bunch of people through, and I know Thwoompa did as well. I'd be shocked if Cheston and Plat and Rasheed hadn't as well.

I'm pretty sure it was you because you took me through The Girl Who Kicked The Vampires' Nest as I hadn't done it at all beforehand. Your TSW character is iDread and I'm not getting confused, right? Oh okay I guess it was me. If CoM runs were a monastic secret we would collectively be the worst loving monks

Do good specs make that much of a difference to TSW? I ran the game on a ridiculously over-specced system and even then the engine didn't perform all that great. Especially noticeable were the massive, one- or two-second-long frame rate drops when moving from indoors to outdoors or one lightning environment to another.

In the end the client is still bad because of funcompetence, but some things like lots of ram and installing it to an SSD help.

Did you run TSW in DX9? With DX10 (11?) the client is particularly bad.

Whatever you do, don't go into the Market in Egypt. The game generally runs well for me for most solo content, but my computer still turns into a staggering <10 FPS POS when I go there. Also, turning off rain in Transylvania helped a bit when I used to have issue there.

Generally the game runs well for me on maximum settings except for some places where looking in a very specific direction would slow down to single digit FPS.

Things that I enjoyed this past long weekend: Kaidan, except for the parking garage and the bank (I need that lore  ). Now that I've got a better AEGIS device, with better AE capacitors, and with the new AEGIS-related skills, it's not nearly the exercise in misery that it was when I first got there.Things that I didn't enjoy this past long weekend: El Dorado and Stonehenge. If you aren't on the winning side, Stonehenge in particular is just a miserable experience -- once you're king of the hill, it only gets easier, instead of harder. Which sucks, because I love henges.

orcane posted:Why is that? Also are you forgetting the Whispering Tide? I was able to get the Whispering Tide lore entries a month or two ago -- they've been mostly relocated to various branches in Agartha. I haven't been able to find any End of Days lore, and there aren't any articles I've found that say whether or not they've been moved.

I guess I'll have to check it out then, kinda stopped bothering with lore after I finished the available entries pre-Whispering Tide. Regarding End of Days lore, I found posts mentioning it was hidden along the Quetzal's path during the xmas event last year so you might get to collect it again.

(I really like the lore too much.) Once you collect all the Whispering Tide lore, it goes into a new tab in the lore window titled "Eternal Echoes".

So few of us play these days I don't know if you can reliably find people. I don't even know if I have it installed. Towards the end of my tenure I messaged people on Steam, which is obviously no help if you aren't already part of the regular crew.

And if I do by the time it loads I realize I have to deal with Tokyo which is the slowest loading zone for some reason. Then I just alt+f4, send the error report that creates, and play something else.

If you can narrow it down to what you are having a problem with, we might be able to help. Some of the quest hubs are located in a way that the breadcrumbs lead you to an area that can be above your level, but there's really no need to grind.
