When you fully open the pasture you can set guys to be auto-fed/harvested for, like, 10 cowries per day each.

Can anyone figure out what the new Pandamonium gear references? Aiming/Scouting's mask is proto-Carbuncle so I assume the others would be things but I don't spot them as easily. The caster/healer mask in particular makes me say "oh that's..." but I can't think of what. Halicarnassus?

They won't be adding more to the EW vendor until 6.3 at the earliest since they just added the old tomestone gear in 6.2. Don't forget to check the ShB vendor too if you haven't picked up the mounts, minions and orchestrion rolls from there and the EW vendor since they share currencies.

Given a couple of fights this patch I have to ask: is there some definite angle for look-away mechanics where you are officially looking away? I imagine it's either a 90-degree cone (like the front arc of a boss), or 180-degree front half.

I caught the alligator, so I've officially won the Island Sanctuary. (Though I'm actually just at rank 9 with everything built and waiting for 20k xp to hit rank 10 to get flying)

If you did/remember e2s, near the beginning of the fight there’s a part with a stack, a gaze on a player, and 2 preys that essentially boil down to “can’t be in the stack” The stack and gaze would be south of the boss, with the gaze at max melee and the stack closer If you were a prey marker if you went to the flank and had your facing dead on to the boss you dodge the gaze without having to turn away and not risk getting clipped by the stack. This was a common strat so you can probably see it in action by looking up a clear vod

Based on a spreadsheet going around on Google docs, there's actually five landmarks but still only three locations to place them on. That's unfortunate. One of them is special and is built from the new 90** expert crafts.

I'm curious what lessons they will learn for the second island. I don't dislike what we got, but I hope they completely change tack in the follow up. The island is a very lonely experience compared to Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley without real NPCs and the community building aspects. Would also would like to see waaay more work be put into being able to make your island a unique experience rather than a market simulator.

You can adjust the appearance of the buildings and grounds to reflect various stages of progress, but to be fair that's pretty limited. It will be nice if they add some expanded glamour options at least.

I blitzed to rank 8 then slowed down after reading that people were hitting rank 10 without knowing how to unlock flying or the rank V mammet tools. Over the weekend I've been able to build up my workshops and granaries to level 3, with the last two constructions completing tonight which'll shoot me to rank 9. And then the workshops come back online 😈 Oxyclean posted:Has it been said the evolution of the content will involve getting another island? Or is that just the running assumption?

Spend some time letting the new feature mature a bit before adding a second identical mechanic. I mean, if there's another island coming it's slated for 6.4 or 6.5, that's two to three patches away. That's plenty of time to make improvements to the current system, unless they wait until the patches for the next expansion.

I imagine now that they got the framework down it would be pretty easy to expand it, or to use the same principle for a similar system in another zone. It does sound like it's popular at least

Here's my thing...why can't it be? The islands are on the housing servers, there are actual neighborhoods available for people that that's the draw for, and I just don't understand the hesitancy to just give everyone a house we can decorate with all the decorations in the game and outside objects we accumilate constantly.

And I'll be honest, as someone who enjoys a bit of optimization as a treat, it's kinda rough to watch. Because now I feel like I'm behind. It's not rational, but there's a little buzzing in the back of my head saying, "You could be doing more. You could be grinding materials right now." Don't get me wrong, play how you like. I'm just reinforcing a thesis I've held for a long time--everything in an MMO is competitive, even if only by comparison.
