Well yes, but once you max your weapons, what are they going to do? Add more AP/SP sinks?

Because they wanted to reset the economy and skills. Hard to sell anything to anyone when they have millions of Pax.

There are a lot of UI upgrade and skill/animation overhauls. But that's an expansion for any other game.

I am ok with this since they often gently caress up the economy at the start, it gives them another chance to gently caress it up

star trek onlines economy is so bad they had to increase the amount of money you could hold and that could be on the auction house to several billion

i started a new dragon character, killed the gravekeeper in the little dream zone, picked up the lever he dropped & tried to put it on the door, and then the game overheated my laptop and forced it to shutdown. when I loaded it back up, I don't have a lever, it tells me to pick up the lever from the gravekeeper's body which is not there, and there's nothing else to do in the area!

i sure missed you, secret world :glomp:

Everyone who is online right now was invited except Brometheus who is ignoring them. Everyone who is in the cabal can invite other goons, so it should go faster now.

Alt-tab closes all the open UI windows you have, which is retarded. I guess I have to rebind the alt key.

Sorry, went to the bathroom without logging out.

The Aurum exchange is already slightly hosed from the press preview people. They've been playing for a week and have lots of Marks. So they bought a ton of Aurum off the AH for cheap as soon as it went on sale and own most of the market now. Spectacular idea Funcom, let all the rear end in a top hat streamers take over the economy.

I'm not sure how to make my own build as I've always just followed other people's ideas before. Any tips/tricks?

I'm gonna try Fist/Elementalism for Brometheus, because broes fight with their fists and he stole barbecue from the gods to give it to man.

Single target abilities on your primary weapon, AoE on your secondary (unless you are using only one weapon like Blade/Shotgun). Have a basic attack and 1 single target power for your primary. Secondary is AoE power attack only. Get one self healing skill. Get an elite damage skill from your primary weapon. Get some other weapon from either that is an expose or stun.

Lore is in pretty much the same positions with a few exceptions so they should.

gently caress sakes. It's literally sitting in the shop inventory and is assigned to me. What a stupid way to handle things.

I already transferred. Wonder if I can get support to fix that?

Here's some guild stuff to add to the op.

Playing with goons
We have a cross-faction cabal (guild) "Lowtax's Bees" (pending a vote for rename) for general shitposting, dungeon running, and erotic roleplay. You need to be online for an invite. Post your in-game username and someone will invite you. Everyone in the cabal (as of June) can invite, so it shouldn't be a long wait.

Speaking with goons
You can join our Discord channel/server/thing for out-of-game chat and VOIP so we can all hear your spergy voice and laugh at it.

That lore in the subway is supposed to be somewhere else in the game too, so it's not lost forever.

Awesome. I appreciate the heads up on the lore marker.

Still, loving hell. If they can't get the transfer stuff right I don't have much hope for the game going forwards. Pirates of the Burning Sea had the same problem and immediately tanked due to players quitting out of frustration out of losing stuff they'd had for years.

Contacted support, hopefully I can get that sorted out.

Have any Kingmouth quests turned up bugged so far? I can't really go by anything said in genchat because, well, it's genchat.

From what I've seen in chat so far, apparently it doesn't matter how much one played TSW, changing over to SWL makes you completely forget how to do questlines that haven't changed.

The round one is third age fragments - they come from opening the paid item caches. I haven't opened one yet so I don't know how many fragments we get per cache.

Some pets are bought with aurum (money) or marks of favor.
