Death is whimsical today

I am grabbing some space bux during their sale but it's asking me which server I'm on. The only ones listed are Dragon (International) and a Russian one. I assume everyone plays on dragon?

e: Could I also get an invite for Blow'd Up@Syrinxx

PC Gateway is down until like Tuesday which really butters my biscuits.

Devs basically said 'gently caress you we're at PAX this weekend.'

I will burn my dread.

I'm a little ashamed, but I went through my entire first month of VIP without selling the excess/useless-to-me poo poo on the AH. I just offloaded the remains of what I had and made about 180k AD. Going forward, is it better to open the packs I get from my daily Shaundakul Lockbox and sell whatever comes out of them on the AH, or should I list the packs unopened on the AH?

i.e. Would it be better to list the "Rider's Strongbox of Enchantments" on the AH, or open it myself and list the contents on the AH?

Bert Roberge

Do a quick check on how much the individual pack sells for vs. the value of the minimum value items in the pack and see if you're ok with gambling that much.

It just varies on a case by case basis.

Hey PS4 guildies, sorry about being such a crummy and abscent guild "leader", my time avaliable to play has cratered and my interest has been seriously distracted.. Is there any active goon out there I can pass the torch to? I might get stuck back in eventually but I wouldn't wanna hold the leader spot hostage based on a "maybe".

What's the best tank for my alt? I tried paladin but it seemed a bit boring but I'd be willing to give it another go if nothing else is as good or something. Can paladin also be specced as a healer?

Also are there any must not miss quests? Because of the event I'm over levelling past a lot of quest chains.

Paladin can be specced as a healer or a tank, though the demand for paladin healers is fairly low at the moment. I haven't yet run Fangbreaker's Island and it might need a really good healer, though at least one boss is a DPS check so people would probably prefer DCs.

GFs are better at keeping threat at the moment but OP tanks have better survivability. Both are good though many groups prefer a GF because they can cast Into the Fray which buffs damage and AP gain.

Look at your campaign tab for the stuff you want for rewards for various leveled tasks. Save the armor kits to help on ilvl at endgame if you can.

You definitely don't want to miss the initial Nasher quests, the Seer quests that start in Protector's Enclave, and Neverdeath Graveyard as they all give you bags.

Completing other deeds can get you good stuff with the savras coins like a free respec, a green mount, a green companion, and a starting stat artifact.

Completing the Tower District quests will get you one green quality laborer for almost every profession and is worth it on every character.

At level 70 you should complete the Spinward Rise portion of the Elemental Evil campaign as it gives you a decent starting artifact weapon.

If you have any stability artifacts you want to eventually finish the Bruenor quests to get his helmet as this can be used to feed those for a huge refinement point boost.

Can I do any daily quests for AD below level 60? I'm almost 50 but it would be a lot easier if I could get a dragon bone pact blade.

You can run dungeons and skirmishes twice a day for a significant amount of rough AD. After that it just gives you a very small amount. At 70 you can unlock weekly quests which all give about 4.5k rough AD.

Make sure to pick up your daily dungeon key in PE if you run dungeons as the blue at the end can sell for 300-1k+ AD.

Can't help with being guild leader, but I'd like to get in to the PS4 guild if possible.

I don't see why it'd be a problem. Any Goon guild I've ever been in has always had a "friends and family" kind of deal. If you post up her info I'll send an invite when I log in later today.

Hey guys, I'm a leader of a small XB1 guild with just some friends. Is there any way I can get a guild invite for my guild to be an underling guild of the bigger SA one? Most of the members are goons. Guild: Stargate Command, my gamertag: dmkmills

We're mostly new to the gaame, but we'd rather contribute and be a part of a bigger alliance. Let me know if I missed a post about XB1, it's hard to tell how new this thread content is with the PC/console mixing...

Wellll that's unfortunate and sad. Or just sadly unfortunate.

OK so if any goons on XB1 want to be in a guild, feel free to hit me up in game @dmkmills or request an invite to the guild "Stargate Command".
We're small, but at least we can give a home to goons who want one!

Feel free to add my info to any posts that have guild info -- happy to start a community for XB1. I'll see if I can find a bigger guild to latch onto as well, so join up if you're looking for that.

Death is whimsical today

Well I used the weekend to poopsock my CW up to almost 60, and also dropped the $ on a Dragonborn pack and rolled up a DC. I think the 2XP weekend may have spoiled me on how fast you can level up though so I hope I don't burn out doing the same crap yet again. I also grabbed a polar :tbear: with a coupon so all my dudes could have Barbarian's Revelry, I hope this is a decent mount choice :ohdear:

Just pulled a 15% coupon from invoking. I've made 1.5k Zen over the last 2-3 days, so I think I might go ahead and use the coupon to get a 24-slot bag, then gamble that I'll make enough in selling my daily lockbox bulls to bankroll another month of VIP in the remaining 28 days I have left.

PC Gateway's been down for 5 days due to 'botting' with the devs being mysteriously silent.

PS4 Guild stuff:
So, I think I went through and promoted up everyone who had posted in here. A lot of people requested invitations early on but didn't provide both psn name and character name, so if you're waiting on that, let me know those things (and probably put 'ps4' somewhere in the post.) Also, we now have a bank.

I always loved the combat in NWN, which to me feels more satisfying than ESO. But Cryptic being Cryptic, p2w, and an empty guild when I play (European) made me look for an alternative. I mean, they removed most of the dungeons in the game at some point! :wtc: Ended up with ESO, which I still greatly enjoy! They are also revamping the world (Oct 5th), making everything playable and scaling from the get go, meaning you can go anywhere, at any time. Regular (quarterly?), large updates, with new dungeons and/or solo areas. You have to pay for the DLC or subscribe though, whereas NWN now has a loving ton of stuff to do, for free (end-game gear/refinement though. Ugh..).

Sorry for the coup attempt, NWN guys <3

e: are the dungeons back in yet btw?

They re-added Castle Never but it's a bullshit version that's super annoying for melee.
