I really find it hard to believe that people are only finding circle-capping karma trains in the borderlands/ebg

with the new borderlands I expect even more maps to devolve into circle-capping karma train roundabouts

ugh, no, actually you're right and I'm wrong, it's night of the 30th for US goons and morning of the 31st for non-US goons. gently caress timezones. this is why i keep telling goon squad to swap to the timezone of glorious nippon

More saliently, it's pretty clear that legendary weaponmaking is intended to be the big endgame quest for players going forward.

Kessel
Mar 6, 2007

i assume the new pistol is a serious energy weapon because of all the funhaters who couldn't deal with Quip

also if the new precursors don't drop it's basically not possible to make more than one of the same legendary now

Kessel

lol some mastery points are locked behind adventure medals and you need all the mastery points to do up a legendary

gonna be a lot of players locked out because of badly-coded adventures

Now someone point out where I'm wrong here because I probably am, but fractals do have a higher chance at dropping ascended gear boxes than world bosses. That sounds good good, right? The drop rate depends on the fractal level! I think at like rank 40 or so you can have a 4% drop rate of ascended armor chests? This isn't easy to get to without ascended weapons/armors to begin with! You can get ring drops and atuff to make rings. That's nice but it ain't getting you to the higher tiers alone without grinding the stackable infusions.

frankly you'd get more ascended chests doing pvp tracks than high-scale fractals

Kessel

Where does the infusion go

Kessel

Only two classes can use the rifle, warrior and engineer. Warrior rifle is loving awful and engineer rifle is good and happily welcomed in the meta. It's also fun if you enjoy pressing a lot of buttons

Wait, so does this mean it will reflect back to the warrior (sucks and is terrible) or back onto the target the burst originated from (hilarious and awesome)?

he means warriors are generally dumb and will kill themselves

it's just like the old times when warriors ran killshot and everyone just reflected the shots to create own goals

You know, the irony in all of this is that if wildstar didn't tank, nexon probably would have kept onto the stock, but because wildstar crashed and burned, nexon probably felt that they weren't going to miss out on much.

So a big thank you to wildstar, for making guild wars 2 a better game.

Nah. Nexon wanted direct involvement in management and so intentionally crossed a stock holding threshold to do it. NCsoft's CEO loving hates Nexon's guts so he decided to sleep with the other devil - he signed a deal with NetMarble that called for a stock swap. This weakened Nexon's position and they lost confidence in their ability to stage the hostile takeover, so they cut and ran. It didn't help that the Korean pension fund, which is a big shareholder, voted at the AGM to support NCsoft's CEO.

You can bet your rear end that if they had seen a path to a successful takeover, they would have taken it, Wildstar or not.
