Okay, I've given Shambala a few runs and actually enjoyed it. What are the PvP points good for in this game?

What's to enjoy? It's two minutes of spamming whatever ability and then you get a present. It's like being two.

Sometimes it's the simple things that bring joy. Not to mention handling my 'need more shards' issue.

Pvp should be obstacle course races where all of your abilities except for gadgets and sprints are locked.

pvp should be a fashion show where contestants are giving a minute to put together an outfit, after which they're put in front of a panel of impartial Venice judges

Hmm, upgrading my shotgun is telling me I'm getting +evade for some reason. My glyph is evasion but I'm not leveling it up in this window. Seems like it's bugging out and calculating the stat gain for +1 level for both weapon and glyph.

Empowering weapons/talismans with slotted glyphs also empowers the glyphs sometimes.

Any word on what today's hotfix was about?

Also I appreciate a f2p game that provides a generous XP progression, but I'm overleveled for Hell Fallen before I could even find the quest for it. Hope I can find some goons willing to run through it once I finally find the quest for it.

If only Milliband had eaten a vegan sausage roll instead of a bacon sandwich, we wouldn't be in this mess.
So it looks as if outlevelling content means being unable to complete missions. I had the 'reasonable man' quest and hadn't gotten round to it (am also going slow), I'm about 25, the 'gutted fishermen' that drop the flares are level 18 so they're giving 1 shard and 8xp, which also means they don't drop the flares you need to loot to complete the quest.

Pause the quest (drop it) and then pick it up again.

"The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker."
The gap between elite 1 and 2 seems annoyingly huge. I started tanking e1 over the weekend with a bearscore of 80 and it was pretty OK. Now I'm at 140 and all it does is become slightly less worrisome that a heart will ignore me for a few seconds while I wait to painfully gear up to 250.

I'd like to see some cabal runs starting up on elites and lairs soon. Do we know what a real baseline item level is for running them? I see ridiculous numbers in lfg but that's not useful at all.

I bought 500 premium currencies to support the game; so I don't actually know what to do with it. My main goal is to play through the quests, not end game content. I'm perfectly happy with the pace of my leveling but could always use cosmetics. What should I buy? My character kinda has weird eyes, maybe I can pay for "cosmetic surgery"/reopen the creation menu.

Fruits of the sea

There used to be haircuts and some cosmetic alterations too, but I don't think they've been implemented in SWL yet. Otherwise use it on clothing? You can also purchase keys to open caches, but they are too expensive to really be worthwhile.

If you play through all the story, you'll reach max level long before you run out of content, so don't spend currency on xp/sp/ap.

I'm down for elite runs but i play PST, it never seems to sync up that goons want to run elites when I am able to.

Just hit my first game stopping bug. Modest proposal mission you need to disable the turret with EMP grenade, except the grenade does nothing. Turret keeps firing, I've thrown at least 10 of these things.

Someone in game said their higher-level friend had had the same problem, but if it's not that then i'm just bugged and cant' get them to drop as i've tried 6+ times now, dropping and picking up the quest again with nothing happening when I kill them.

So there's an indeterminate bug, which still means I can't do the quest, cheers.

Alternatively was someone else in the area doing that same quest? That might have had an interaction.

I had a bit of trouble with this until I figured out that

1) throwing the emp grenade takes several seconds, like using objects.
2)It can be interrupted by moving and taking damage
3) it doesn't have great range
4) it helps if you aggro the nearest mobs and kill them out of range of the sentry gun

Now have fun figuring out how to kill the sniper approach from behind

There might be something to that. I've noticed with some quests like The Raven or Something Wicked that if there's someone else doing it when I am, certain things that are supposed to flag or spawn, don't. If I go do something else and come back later, they work fine.

So I played a bit back in the day and was wondering if there were any tips/guides for someone who has basically forgotten everything about this game. I'm considering a hammer/chaos build at the moment.

Nah. There was definately lightning around the gun but it just keeps firing. Tried everything, max distance, point blank distance, in combat, out of combat. I was only able to complete the quest when 2 other players showed up and distracted the turret long enough for me to pick up and plant the explosives.

If any one else has this bug, let me know. If i'm in game I will gladly help you out of this stupid situation.
