For the record if anyone was curious, opening the event's cache on an alt gives the first day's cosmetics again. So you can get all the stuff on one character and half on another.

cWhat was the way to change from mouse look or whatever you call the default control scheme?

If anybody has too much aurum and doesn't know what to spend it on, stealth hoverboard is incredibly useful and normal jump on the spot is a kickflip

Change to what? Alt brings up your cursor, but the game is now about reticule targeting and that's always going to involve mouselook.

Hey as a new player, what should I prioritize spending marks on? I want a 3pip green weapon, faster sprint, and maybe changing up from hammer/blade to hammer/shotgun. Anything else I need?

I spent money on sprint without regret because it's universally useful no matter what I'm running.

How hard is it to get a new weapon if you don't like the one you started with? Shotgun isn't doing it for me.

You can get a 3-pip standard weapon with a good suffix (efficiency if you have an elite you want to use all the time, energy if not) for about 900-1000 MoF on the Auction House. You can get that from finishing a couple of the daily objectives on the Shift+J list. e: Oh, yeah, folks who didn't play the old version of the game have to unlock new weapons. I remember hearing it's like 25k MoF for your first weapon, which you can get with a couple days of daily objectives.

It just looks like 5k to me. So get a 3pip weapon first then get sprint then maybe a new weapon type? And energy is best for hammer tanks? e: also, what's with suffix/prefix allocation? Are weapons with both rare? Should I pick up a suffix/prefix weapon to get it leveling? StashAugustine fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Aug 7, 2017 |

Anything else I need? I suggest prioritizing 3pip everything. You will regret leveling anything but a 3pip item later. I wasted so many MoF's early leveling 1 pip stuff then grinding it into a 3pip item and only getting the base 100xp for it. I used some of my steam funbux to upgrade to Sprint V, it's worth it I think. Just remember you can use MoF to buy up to Sprint IV. So you can convert the funbux into MoF, then buy it with MoF. If you figure out the math it is probably cheaper than paying the 500 funbux. Kessel posted:What does the hover board actually do? Does it stealth you when you sprint past normal enemies? Referring specifically to the stealthboard; Yah, it has a cloak ability. It used to be really useful in the old game at getting rid of annoying agro as you zoomed through a zone. It may not be as useful now since low level monsters seem to ignore me even if I stand right next to them. I haven't really figured it out. Seems like a cool change if that's the case. Edit: I don't know if the other hoverboards have the stealth ability. I believe the stealthboard was introduced when people were still kind of leery about the idea of bees using vehicles other than their feet, so they needed a hook.

Kessel posted:What does the hover board actually do? Does it stealth you when you sprint past normal enemies? It adds a stealth ability which makes you invisible to enemies 15 seconds or so. At first I thought "eh" but than was surprised how often started using it. Interacting with mission objectives doesnt break stealth.

Seems like a cool change if that's the case. Enemies 10 levels or more below you won't aggro automatically. I think they might if you linger around a long time, but unsure if I did something to make that happen.

They changed the cost for your first weapon unlock to 5000 MoF a few patches ago, but it's still 30,000 MoF for the next unlock. That means even a new player can get their third weapon by doing just the first set of dailies, which is good if you are set on two weapons, but the starting classes don't have that particular combination.

I'm a legacy transfer (because this game still has its hooks in, god help me) so I don't need to worry about unlocking the pages, just AP/SP and the actual weapon. Might still screw around on an alt anyway, thanks though!

The rest of the Event lore's in Agartha now. 2 are on the mall hub, the rest involve careful jumping and hope you land on the right branch.

You can see the branches on the minimap and line up your fall for most of them. e: Whoops, thought you were talking about Agartha lore. There's a couple of Whispering Tide lore you can pick up that way.

Pilchenstein posted:There's one hidden on the side of one of the portal shell shaped things, on one of the branches below the Venice portal, it was pretty easy to miss. That sounds like the one I ran past more times than I care to admit since I was expecting it to be placed like the rest of the lore tokens. I did install the LoreHound add on. It's not bad, but I need to play with the settings more to get it to pop more visibly for me.

I really like it because most of the lore is placed with the theory that gamers don't look up and it's above you on some random rear end ledge you'd never think to look at. When I get home I can link a lore waypoint map if you want the two together are pretty choice. And while I'm talking about waypoints I know someone has every bounty mission marked. Post that poo poo yo.

My old computer melted and I finally built a new one. About to jump in to this after bouncing off the original Secret World a while back. I'm linking accounts. What's the current status of builds? Any trap options? My preference would be guns, magic, or a mix. I would like something that will carry me through the plot but I'm not too worried about end game. I'm treating this a single player game that I may occasionally run in to people in. Thanks!

loving p2w system. Just did a Polaris where we wiped three times to Ur Draug because the tank didn't know how to manage aggro or not cleave the party. A DPS in GREENS pulled aggro off him on fight 2. Dude pulled without the healer for fight three. His gear? All three pips. Mythic head. Purple everything else. Purple Intricate hit glyph. And the rest we're intricate evasions mostly blue but one purple. I would have assumed that even paying your way to that gear you would know to not face bosses at the DPS. But apparently not.

Then of course the runs always go to poo poo. If they even have any aggro gaining skills you're doing well, often they don't.
