Would anyone be opposed to reforming the illuminati cabal? We have almost 500 people in it and there's only about a dozen that actually do things.

I would just wait until after the next issue drops as that will be when you'd see the most activity so I think cat hearding would be easier then.

My least favorite part of the game is the City of the Sun God, which is the second part of Egypt. The storyline is interesting, but the environment just feels horrible. It's a giant 3d maze of valleys and ledges and navigating it for the first couple of times is obnoxious.

All the other zones are pretty good though.

The spawn points are Scrapyard for Kingsmouth, the west coast for SC, and the Abandoned Factory for BM. Only Solomon Isle (and Fusang, so I've heard) bosses are active right now.

And I'm pretty sure the people that say they downed fusang at the moment are lying.

Generally because they're the same people that said it was perfectly fine and totally not hard at all.

edit:

quote:

Hey Guys,

Given the issues with Fusang right now, and the fact that some players can't enter it, we will be removing Kaspu Nasiru from the Achievement "The Bigger They Are". The golem himself will remain and his current reward list will remain unchanged.

On Monday, we will also be giving out a special reward to all players that have completed this achievement by killing the other 8 golems.

Furthermore all the anniversary related lore will be lingering for a few extra weeks after the event ends. This should give everybody a chance to complete the achievement "Written in Stone".

So I recently reinstalled this for the anniversary. Can someone bring me up to speed on the silver and gold coins in the item store? I'm a "grandmaster" and got some bonus points to spend, but what's the silver coin stuff?

The silver coins are your pool of veteran reward points, there's stuff you can buy with it.

Nothing really good but eventually who knows.

Gold coins are your funcom bux, you can use those to buy things and as a grandmaster you get a monthly stipend. You can use that to buy issues and pretty princess dressup stuff.

Yeah, there are plenty of people that play. Getting a goon group may be difficult at times depending on time zone, there's still tons of other people around to get stuff done.

Any big changes with the update?

Deadly aim and stuff have a 90 second debuff so having DA/BS up through most fights is a thing of the past. They nerfed raid XP so you don't get much out of quarry raiding anymore. They changed the public cooldown icon to allow for display of scenario cooldowns. Rubberbanding still happens but not as much.

big list of stuff

Issue 8 isn't live yet, this past downtime was mostly just server maintenance stuff supposedly. Probably fixing some of the borked holiday stuff.

I haven't really touched this since launch, and while I enjoyed it other things came up. How has it come along since then? Is there a lot of people still playing?

Since then there have been a number of content releases, most of which are pretty interesting though some have their flaws. Some launch bugs are still there, some new ones have replaced the ones that were fixed and the playerbase is solid though there is an increase in volume during issue releases.

Issue 8 should be out next week, hopefully the scenarios won't be awful by then.

This is not true. Since I'm apparently the only person who's actually tried Nightmare Solo... solo, having more than one person in Nightmare Solo mode completely messes up the scaling. With two people, there were twice as many mobs. I expect it gets more and more exaggerated.

It wasn't even that, the mob amounts were quite manageable. There was an element of luck when it comes to enemy AoE attacks and getting to their location in time. In the instance where we lost us a survivor we had been running from one side of the map to the other. And by running I mean not sprinting without any runspeed buffs in sight.

Getting NM solo platinum is totally going to require the stars to align in your favor unless things get changed.

Think of it this way, instead of us grinding failure after failure until we platinum it and never do it again we skipped right to the platinum so I never have to do it again.
