Heres the revamp info, not a lot of specifics about what changes were made so I'm in no real rush to reinstall.

My effusion score is 101. I don't know if that's good or bad.

I slummed a normal dungeon with some pubbies and talked tanking with the lone online lumi goon and now I kind of miss tanking NMs.

OH MY GOD THIS IS FINALLY FIXED! I REPORTED THIS IN loving 2012!

Edit: Has anyone done he trans missions since the patch? They aren't nightmare and the cooldown is now 18 hours. That would make getting xp and signets so much easier. You could make some serious xp just running those every 3 days before. Now you can do it daily.

Yeah. I saw all that. 90% of it is trying to make people stop using Do or Die.

Practically speaking, I didn't notice any difference running around killing stuff except that I did noticeably less damage which translated into noticeably less healing.

I think anyone expecting a very different experience from pre-patch is gonna be similarly disappointed.

I bought the 'Fall of Tokyo' pack but it hasn't unlocked Issue 10 (or the side stories) for me. Anyone else had that problem?

Edit: derp, nevermind. It doesn't give them to you, it just adjusts the cost to zero in the in-game store.

If I've bought everything up to the James Bond issue, is that pack "everything except scenarios" or would I still be missing some mission dlcs?

I've got some alts that I'd roll with. They're nightmare ready but didn't actually do anything but rush investigations. Hit me up on Steam sometime. Right now my display name is "Ohio not even once" I make no guarantee I'll be around though. Work has been a beast lately.

Really enjoying the game so far, although crafting is quite opaque and it's hard to guess what order I should upgrade stuff in (items and weapons). Swords seem really good but you sometimes look longingly at other weapons.

Are people on often?

Seal the Deal isn't a game-breaker. You could use the Fluid Defense or Calm, Cool, and Collected and get almost as much benefit.

Yep, CC&C is great as well. Also, hi Kyro (it's Mango Juice).

I usually only login to collect my free 30 BB twice a week from NYR, but happy to help any goons needing to finish elites or get NMs done. Did we have a Steam group for this game?

edit: It appears I'm a part of "Everything is Goon" but no idea if that's from 2012 or recently.

All of the ones that funcom just gave 18 hour cooldowns.

It used to be any of the ones marked "hard" at ql10 but since they lowered the timers and difficulties it's the ones in those patch notes.

Edit: Or you could just do all of Transylvania. That's what I did every three days when I was unemployed and job hunting/doing homework.

Yeah, that's what I did, I just ran around and did poo poo in Transylvania and now I have Seal the Deal. :toot:

So dumb question, how decent is 1500 DPS? That's about what I'm doing in the training room according to ACT with a 10.3 AR/10.2 elemental focus.

There is SO MUCH new pretty princess that they had to add two new vendors that rotate their stock daily.

New cash shop additions seem to mostly be a bunch of trenchcoats.

I vary between a sharp blue suit and something sillier or more adventurous. Before I switched back to the suit, I was wearing nothing but a bathrobe. To maintain the illusion, under the bathrobe I wore the cash shop bare chest and a pair of secondhand briefs (:stonk:) I got from Krampus.

Paying real money for a lack of shirt is honestly one of the biggest cognitive dissonances this game has given me.
