Holy poo poo. I just realized I don't even remember where I got my mining helmet in TSW. The mines on Soloman Island or some place in the Egypt city maybe? Well I suppose that apart from a couple missions it's not going to be a big deal. Definitely a big deal in those Roman ruins beneath London though.

I thought it was from the mission in Blue Mountain where you had to avoid dudes in a mine while... planting explosives? What was it?

I know folks are so-so about the relaunch, but here's a video of the new Combat system, and I'm actually a bit excited to play (as someone who never got out of Blue Mountain, to be fair): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgMWQ1tAJ_g

Yeah the mining hat was from a sneaking mission in the mines, and the UI stuff makes sense if they only have one person working on it. I think it's funny that they basically ripped off the Bright Wizard mechanic from Warhammer Online. Dreadwroth fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Jun 2, 2017 |

Is there any word on what cosmetics will be transferred? I have a bunch of unused funny money that I want to spend on unicorn heads and such.

Tallgeese posted:Is that official or? We aren't sure about drops or purchases for pax yet. They've said in general that achievement related cosmetics won't transfer and people will have to get them again. The Pale Horse is a weird one because it's a drop and from a bag and a temporary event. So who the gently caress knows.

I dunno about garbage, the free lockbox key every day covers the cost of the patron status on its own if you play often enough to get most of them in the 30 days. Assuming they're $1 worth of aurum each and patron is $15 for 30 days like such things are in most games, you'd only need to play every other day for patron to be better value than buying keys outright.

Do the keys stack? Or do I get x per day and gently caress you if you want to bank them?

Yeah, after spending some of the test aurum on keys, I agree that the free lockbox key is actually really good. You get 2 distillates that give you either 4k or 25k item xp. For reference, 4k item xp is 40 items. That's enough to get a green item from 1 to 20 or a blue item from 1 to 10. Anything you get lucky enough to get after that is just gravy. Len posted:Do the keys stack? Or do I get x per day and gently caress you if you want to bank them? Yes they stack but I don't know what the max is. I bought like 5 with the free aurum.

Faction missions are back in? Sweet. Asked a friend to do a runthrough of missing quests outside of those, and it sounds like it's mainly just those really boring repeatable gather quests I ignored anyways. She couldn't find the laundry quest though, was that also removed? Near the fire station in Kingsmouth, where there's a phone on the ground and it ends with Geary telling you not to stick your nose in Illuminati business? Maybe I just described it poorly to her, or maybe she just wasn't high enough level to see it yet. That quest was pretty banal, so if it's still there, I imagine most of the smaller story quests are as well.

Rookersh posted:Faction missions are back in? Sweet. Laundry quest is still in. So is squid. The only things that I haven't seen in this phase is the postal quest to deliver to Norma (the main story replaces this), the pirate one way out in the water, one of the quests on pyramid point (though it was so forgettable that I can't remember which). A few side quests have been moved (severed hard, trapped survivor, postal truck). There's probably a few other dumb sidequests that are so forgettable that they are better off gone. Doorknob Slobber posted:are they updating the graphics at all? My biggest gripe with the game was how stiff all the animations were. Lots of animation updates, lots of changes to the ui (icons look professional and less like something they put together in 2 minutes on paint). The engine is the same but some updates were made to rending, shadows, etc. The animations still aren't amazing but they are significantly better in almost every case. There's still some floatiness to combat but it's better.

Well, I would imagine that the RMT discount comes from buying the Aurum (the gold bars) and not from the item transactions with it. All of the things you can buy with Aurum are priced like that where more does not equal less per unit.

Len posted:Do the keys stack? Or do I get x per day and gently caress you if you want to bank them? If it works like similar things in other games do, you can claim a key each day and they'll sit in a stack (Most games I've played that have them they stack to 100 or so?) in your inventory until you use them. But if you don't claim it on any given day, you don't get to then claim two the next day. The one you didn't claim is just gone, lost forever. Ultimately, it's mostly meant to keep you logging in each day. On the other hand if Funcom decided to be different and do their own random thing, then who the hell knows.
