So Mk III weapons are cheap now. Did we ever decide which ones were actually useful? Of the defensive ones, Recovery seems only useful in dungeons/raids while Warding seems like it will scale poorly. So is Restoration the best defensive-oriented weapon type? Of the offensive ones, Destruction doesn't seem to scale at all. Efficiency could be nice in an elite-dependent build, but 5% off isn't going to change much. Energy might be the best for AOE spam while Havoc is probably what most people will gravitate toward. 15% bonus on crits between two weapons is not bad and scales. Healing builds will probably use Efficiency, Energy, or Havoc. Alacrity would be the utility one. I like the idea of bonus speed while in combat. Did we ever determine if it stacks (40% for 2 alacrity weapons)? Good for PVP and movement fights. Not great for min/maxers. Anyone have thoughts?

Well, my account has been suspended for an unknown reason, for an unknown duration. On reddit there are complaints about being banned for farming xp in groups. I wasn't doing any of that, but also shame on Funcom for banning people because of flaws in their game design. Of course support is backed up two weeks. No email explaining why. I've spent a lot of money in TSW over the years, am currently paying monthly for patron in SWL. Trying to be positive about the relaunch, but about to join the "gently caress Funcom" camp pretty soon here and take my money elsewhere. Probably should have done that a long time ago.

Looks like Funcom has some kind of XP breaker and if you earn "too much xp too quickly" they ban you. People are getting bans ranging from 3 days to forever over this. Someone who got banned claims all they were doing is chain-running dungeons and they got hit with a permaban. There is currently a bug which causes your xp to be multiplied by groupmembers which is why they disabled raid groups. So it seems to be possible to hit a threshold they consider an exploit if you spend a lot of time in a group earning xp, even if you don't mean to. e: There is another bug involving those local bounty missions too which is further multiplying xp gain in groups. That is a more obvious exploit though. Space Skeleton fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Jul 12, 2017 |

I don't see how finding another exploit and abusing it made you think that this time it was gonna be ok.

They seem incapable of discerning when someone exploits, or when they accidentally gain extra XP from their bad code by just playing the game. I did group up a few times to down elites, chain ran dungeons to spend all my keys back to back. As a patron I earn double AP/SP anyway, but I guess this was just too much and it caught their xp per hour filter or something. It sounds like most people got emails saying they were banned for X days for exploiting XP, but I've received nothing. I'm mostly pissed because I'm paying for a sub that I can't access. If I was doing f2p I'd probably just shrug and move on to the next game. Don't pay for patron, folks.

What XP are people getting that's doubled? Mob kills are giving 1xp with patron. I have noticed that the local bounty quests finish twice as fast, but those go on CD so it's not like you can spam them. E: there's a funny screenshot on reddit of an email that says "since this is your 1st violation, you have been permanently suspended from the game". On the 2nd violation, the SS comes and gives you the  .

So I ordered the last available physical copy that Amazon had in stock of the base TSW. Sat on my shelf for a couple weeks but I remembered it existed today and installed it. Within minutes I found some weirdos expounding upon the unsavory exploits of Merlin, King Arthur, and other strange wonderful things. I think I'm in love and it's gonna take me years to work through all this lore and dialogue it seems. ty thread.

The offices are being structures as mostly team offices to take advantage of the low noise and high efficiency this layout offers. http://jobs.funcom.com/ I have been checking in on their job openings page because it is more informative about Funcom than anything they release as community updates. Everyone they are looking for is for UE4 which they are trying to somehow intergrate into their Dreamworld Engine like Frankenstien's monster. Still have not seen a single dedicated person for SWL team and for some strange reason they are still posting Conan Exiles openings.

Punishing exploiters would be all well and good if I had any confidence in them doing it right. I mean classic had its share of problems but the relaunch is just super broken and potentially punishing people who were just playing the game for their fuckups does not sit well with me at all.

I generally agree but the current relaunch is really just a beta test before the Steam launch. Pretty sure the Steam release date is deliberately not specific so Funcom can do whatever it is they do before the Steam cash in.

Richard M Nixon posted:Since I'm a cute newbie to the story, I'll say that I just finished fighting beaumont at the end of DotEN tier 21 and it was awesome. The next zone with the dream sounds like it's setting me up for something cool. I heard that we have some choice that doesn't matter until Tokyo and then it's a big deal, and I assume it's the gift. I hope I chose wisely. TSW has really strong small-group encounter design. that solo fight was kind of revelatory for me back when. you'll be mislead by the way the story mode dungeons are all but unwipable, TSW 5man content always used to like to wipe the floor with people. hoping to be good and punished by elite dungeons once I actually have the gear to be useful in em at all. I've been 50 for a week or so and have gotten my gearscore from like 80 to 115ish (not playing very hard), and Elite 2 wants...250 to queue. that's a long-rear end way to go for the first step up.

All the bugs and bullshit aside, doing TSW's dungeons with the old goon crew was the most fun I ever had with group content in a MMO, and that's as someone who raided in other games for years. Part of me is still hoping we can get some version of that old group back together...
