Prefect was up for doing dungeons but he isn't nightmare ready so we are going to do elites.

Bunch of goons replied and were up for it, just trying to coordinate something where we can all get together.

I just want to get a group together to do some stuff. Maybe move up to nightmares or the New York Raid without having to deal with the LFG channel looking for 1.8s or that crazy math formula they ask for.

So far its me and prefect in the game. I got a buddy that can run the dungeons as well. We are in mumble in the Setting Rivers on Fire, and we are also in the awful chat channel.

Edit: We got a full team! Woooo!

Edit: Did 4-5 elite dungeons and had some great times! Ill organize something for next weekend so our aussie friends can participate!

If we scheduled something next week, either dungeons or lairs, who would be interested and what timezone and time works for you? Was thinking maybe Saturday at 8pm EST? Or Sunday at 3pm EST?

Allright lets run some Elites/Nightmares on Sunday at 3pm PST? If that time doesn't work out just tell me and we can re-schedule. The people who are going to show up on sunday have pretty flexible schedules.

First up: my figures are generally for full purples, we've mostly all had full custom gear for a while.

1970 HP is standard dungeon glass cannon build. There are a few fights (like Recursia) where a tank piece is nice but usually if you are dying with 1970 HP in a dungeon it's because you are not executing properly.

I run with one tank piece when questing, which puts me somewhere around 3.2k. This is not glass cannon, this is padding you out with some extra survivability.

I cannot imagine questing with more HP than that and I am confused by the idea that 3.5k HP strikes you as too little.

What if you dont have a full 10.4 purple set?

So as a person who did Nightmares way back when and I have some 10.0 purple gear, how do I gear up? I have done issue 6,7,8 and 9 for some purple gear but am still using a blue pistol nad a green auxiliary. How much hit do you need for nightmares? (I used to heal them so hit didn't matter)

Allright so in my heal gear I dont have the greatest crit chance, Ill have 15% crit chance and a heal rating of 2682. I don't really know how I can get better gear unless I can use Sequeins of the Sunrise to get some.

This is the build I am thinking of. I have a free active slot and 2 free passive slots. Any critiques or suggestions?

Tokyo is hard

Tokyo is pretty hard when I first started it (And still is a bit hard now) and I had to change my build. Impairs seem to be good so I picked up the passive that says every time you crit you impair them. Ive seen you on cabal chat! We should party it up in tokyo.

Edit: SWTOR was a big investment and considered a flop. From what i've heard they kind of gouge you with the cash shop (wanna use purple items, you have to pay! Wanna spring, you have to pay)

Hey guys we are going to try and run some elite dungeons (And maybe a nightmare) on Saturday at 12pm PST. Guppy the only mumble channel I know of is a desolate wasteland that is sometimes interrupted by EvilBillMurrays grumbling something about bugs and lore. Is there another mumble we use (Is it trolls mumble?)

That's part of i9 though but yeah that wasn't too bad. Venice just fell flat all around for me. There's a disconnect between that parts and the accomplishments of my character and the rest of the world.

I guess I'll spoil it since there's newish players around.


By the time i8 came out the player character had literally stopped gods, ousted the ruler of hell, ended a vampire crusade, and stopped a ridiculous number of Soviet super soldiers. Then this guy tells me that I can't go to Tokyo? I'm not skilled enough to go there? How much loving harder can it be than killing an Egyptian god or defeating a goddamn angel? They try to explain that it's because he's being paid off to not let us go but I have problems with that too.

If we had to go through red tape to fly to Tokyo or any regular mode of travel it would make sense. But instead we take Agartha. And a very easily accessed Agartha branch too with zero protection from the CoV. Why can't we just walk right through it? There's nobody guarding it. The only reason we can't walk through is because the player character goes "nope". I'm not a roleplayer but I accepted the Filth during each part of the story mission so it's clearly in my guys past that he does whatever the gently caress he feels like doing.


To address your issue

So the not taking the argatha portal is uhh silly. Ill give you that and I can't really explain it.

The reason the guy says you cant go to tokyo is to delay you. The whole scenario thing and getting that stupid council seal is to delay you. I play illuminati and Geary outright states someone is delaying them, and that person is Arturo. Pretty dumb to have the story exlpain the in-game grind but eh

Confused about the Illuminati story at the end of Egypt. Why does The Board want you eliminated? There seemed to be quite a jump between "stop the world from getting destroyed" and "you die now for failing us".

Im trying to remember what happened in Egypt.. I know you stop Aten from becoming a god? Is this Black Sun / Red Sand mission?

Edit: Ohh you go to The ice caves? talk to some Dreaming people? Usually if you go to that place it means stuff is going down. Probably the illuminati just freaking out since you can do some bad things in that place.

Edit2: Ah reading the mission the illuminati is pissed that You talked directly to Orochi and also disrupted their operations. This will definitely not come to bite you in the rear end in issue 11
