Alright, finally updating the 15GB I need to get playing. Now if only the PS4 version would let me run that download in the background while I play rogue legacy or something.

Man, I wonder when we're gonna fight the Four Fiends. That's probably their masterstroke if they ever release a WoD level expansion i guess.

Halicarnassus is confirmed a boss, so the name changes may be related to the last boss of Haukke Manor?

Catastrophe's in too, hope you brought your float and reflect :getin:

Sounds like all the cool people left to Omega, we're having the opposite problem.

Honestly, at least at the times I play, it's the same in TPT. I rarely see requests for tank/healer go completely unanswered (it may be "if you can wait for me to finish X," but not usually radio silence), and I've been just queuing into DF alone as healer after getting no response in FC chat.

No new crafting recipes in this patch.

So that means no getting crafted gear pre-Savage. Crafted gear should probably come out in two weeks?

If you're DPSing a lot mana can get a little tight.

That's why I party with a Bard.

It's great that bards can push buttons on cooldown now, it'll make things so much better for healers.

I started leveling my AST recently and I am SHOCKED that I can't DPS all the way through a dungeon. It feels so good without Cleric Stance but if your group is more on the you-dont-pay-my sub side of the damage spectrum you have to stop and wait for regen constantly.

So what's the strategy for gearing in Omega? I've never been gearing when it was current. Just run through 1-4 and get whatever tokens you can, or prioritize the chest/legs tokens? I guess if you're solo it's different, but assuming it's a static, what do people usually do?

They are re-using the old drop table from Alexander, so have this handy goon-created table.

Ignore the bit about the quest giving a bolt, that was true then, and no indication of whether or not it will be true now. Everything else is correct.

Truga: May 4, 2014; Lipstick Apathy

Many people prioritise, but honestly the difference between just getting whatever and prioritising is like 2 weeks of having 3% better stats. I'll need stuff I want now and greed stuff I want later, and if I get the 2nd thing that's fine too.

We got one pedal and two bolts off V1.

# ? Jul 4, 2017 12:25

orcane: Jun 13, 2012; Fun Shoe

reporting slightly different numbers, ie. 2nd and 3rd getting roughly two thirds of a win (in your numbers that would be the 8% instead of 12% so that part adds up), and the win XP is the same as before.

Illiterate Clitoris posted:

Just over 12%, yes.

If that's true you're going from 8 matches per level to 10-11 and no more than 13.

PVP exp is 12% of your level for a win, 10% for 2nd 8% for 3rd looks like.

This absolutely blows and is a really wrongheaded approach. Disappointed, but not really surprised-- they're probably going to continue in this vein until PVP gets back to its HW levels of irrelevance.

# ? Jul 4, 2017 12:35

orcane: Jun 13, 2012; Fun Shoe

At up to 50% more matches per level in order to skip PotD and dungeon queues, I'm fully expecting even more people to "guard the base" now.

But if Exdeath is the finale of the first egg, there's no reason they can't make a Four Fiends egg and a Kefka's Tower egg :getin:

Deltascape was solid (and screw all the FFV crap, the story was excellent because it remembered Midgardsormr existed). V3 was by far my favorite fight, and it'll be exciting to see all the ways PUGs can screw it up!
