Guest2553 posted:I have an alt core-only account I'd like to use to make a legendary for my main but am not really looking forward to gifts of battle and exploration. Are there enough others like that out there who'd be interested in setting up a group to chip away at it? Gift of battle isn't that bad to knock out, just have to complete a reward track. If you join the goon wvw group that runs twice a week (last I knew), you should get it pretty quickly

I am 1 gift of battle away from having the Bifrost. Just incredible. Wizard vault A+ #1.

So the legendary starter kit saves you the cost of a precursor (100-200g) gift of [insert legendary weapon] (100g of icy runestones and 70g of misc) and a gift of might or magic (200g)

Yeah, I already have a couple gifts of exploration and all the other necessary mats. It had made this process far less intimidating.

I'm annoyed that I started the Bifrost collection a while ago, so I'd be wasting a lot of that progress by getting the starter kit. I already have HOPE and Shining Blade, so not a ton of value in getting Quip or Bolt. I guess I can get Meteorlogicus, though it doesn't match any of my characters' aesthetics, and I don't use scepter much.

Making the Valdhertz dungeon part of the daily is so stupid. Twice bugged, and then third time too many players to get credit for final chest (even though I did at least one of every part).

It's especially dumb when the weekly system (you can get the bonus reward without completing each individual item) is right goddamn there.

This new daily rewards seem a little better if you're playing through content but it's a lot worse if you're not. The old system was good in that the reward for simply logging in was good enough even if you weren't planning a real play session to be worth the tiny effort, and often the daily gold reward was easy so I'd stick around for that. And then maybe while I did that some goons in guild started fracs or wvw so I'd join, and thus play a lot more. It was a low stakes casual approach to hook me in. Now the reward for simply logging in is so minimal it's not worth booting up the old potato for. This is probably healthier IRL, won't casually waste time and will only play if I'm intentionally doing content. Thanks, Anet. Sincerely.

Outside of setpiece bosses, when was the last time they added new enemy types with new animations and models? HoT and PoF had whole ecosystems of new enemies, but icebrood saga had those wrestling move ice golems and a ton of charr, EoD had mechs and a ton of humans, everything else reused animations and models, I'm still early in SotO but I'm recognizing every old animation and model from as far back as HoT and Orr in these enemies.

There's plenty of new enemy models in Soto. There's sort of some new attacks I guess, but they're not massively consequential. EoD added the hoovers, which I like as a mechanic

After thinking about it, SotO is a mixed yet optimistic bag: Pros: -Easy Skyscale Acquisition -Wizard's Vault -Story/Narrative/Lore -New Likable Characters -Weapons for each spec -On-Demand Events (Rifts) with no DR -New maps that are vertical in a fun way for once! Cons: -Relic system being incomplete on launch -Daily system being too restrictive (let us choose between all 12 dailies but with Acclaim capped at 40/day, please!) -Lots of bugs at launch, even by Anet standards -Strike missions are as easy as IBS ones, whereas EOD NM strikes were at least a bit challenging -Metas are also a bit too easy, and the Amnytas one ends with you pressing 2 over and over again, similar to Zhaitan's "fight" -Nothing for veteran players to work for until 6 months from now -Was expecting Afflicted-levels of enemy models for the Kryptis, might be a rating issue, idk Some of these are more minor gripes than actual issues. Bugs are being hot-fixed pretty quickly, thankfully. And since this expansion is meant to bring new players in, the difficulty scaling might be adjusted for them. With the new release schedule being every 3 months, we no longer have a content drought. Instead, we have a content drip. Not a lot of stuff every three months, but makes the wait between expacs more bearable. This is also likely the best they can do seeing as how they are definitely working on another game atm. All in all, a harmless and welcoming expac.

I think you can open one of the minor chests for each event you participate in, and that's enough for the daily. I caught the last event and was able to get a chest, but I had to try all of them before finding one that opened.

If you are looking for exp to fill out the masteries quickly pop a bunch of exp increasers and go hunt random idle enemies around Droknar's forge, they tend to be out of the way of other people killing them and are in groups of 3 at a minimum, the exp is pretty good.

For anybody not yet 80 (or who is still maxing out core masteries), the adventure guide gives mad xp. I knocked out lvl 70-80 in less than an hour doing stuff like "view 3 vistas", "craft an item", and "dye something".

The xp doesn't take too long to get, even without boosters. I am more worried about mastery points, many seem to come from what seems like quite annoying achievements.

Pistol Scourge feels oh-so-good, monsters are just melting away and the AOE damage is nuts. They definitely didn't tune this before releasing it, and I'm all about it. Just please don't nerf Scourge horribly again, Anet.

Snow Crows recently updated some of their builds, here's the Condition Scourge - that's the build I've been following. Just melts everything, I think it's benching at like 49k, which is absurd.

It is kinda nutty how much faster and consistent just setting all dailies/weeklies to PvE is compared to any pvp/wvw dailies and not having to rely on the variance of other people like pvp/wvw to get done and at least half of the pve weeklies you'd end up getting done in WvW anyway by just killing enemies or dodging hits or using combo fields. For my dailies today, I got to chop 15 wood, kill 10 enemies and do 1 event in heart of thorns, killing pocket raptors, a treasure mushroom and chopping wood in orr would get those dailies done in under 5 minutes. I also miss the potions of reward tracks from pvp/wvw. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Aug 29, 2023 |
