Lawlicaust posted:No, all the faction leaders are still in and they still give you flavor text for missions. However, the faction versus faction missions like Parking Garage are gone. The missions you would get whenever you got a faction rank. Devs have been radio silent on why. Maybe they don't want anything limited to just some players? Especially if it's going to continue to be alt-unfriendly. (I had to Google this "parking garage" thing, because that's a mission for lameos and squares.  )

Len posted:Then you're missing out because the dungeons are fun and have story. I was a "no grouping for me" person, but I did eventually manage to attach myself to some goonish parties and wound up getting to do all of the dungeons; they are quite enjoyable, story-wise. I recommend giving them a shot. Edit: It's an enormous help if you get a group with enough patience to explain tactics to you, because there's some stuff that's confusing and that will kill you PDQ. prefect fucked around with this message at 17:15 on May 30, 2017 |

Kegslayer posted:The new hub in Agartha feels a bit weird since I thought the lore talks about how non bees/special people can't enter because they get stun to death by literal bees but I guess it's better than just people standing around on a slope. I thought that normal people would just explode by being overloaded with the Agartha Force if they entered. But it's been a long time, so I could be imagining anything.

Lawlicaust posted:The minimal download is pretty quick. I have to go out and run errands in a little bit, so keeping myself from playing right away is a plus.  Also, now I get to spend some quality time freaking out over which weapons I'm going to use. I was mostly AR/Elemental before, but I'm wondering about other ideas I had, like "could I go Elemental/Blood and just be a magician?" (Yes, I know you can technically use any two weapons, but some of them just don't work well for how you might be playing, et cetera, et cetera.) Is there an equivalent of the "decks" they used to have, where you had some examples of what to do (and also I think you got an outfit for getting all the appropriate skills)?

Lawlicaust posted:Some people on the beta forums did the math for time required to max weapons in SWL. 160 AP not counting capstones. 30k per AP. At a rate of 8 Carpathian Fangs missions that reward around 8k each, it will take 7 months per weapon to max each new weapons actives. Passives take a little longer. I'm hoping they realize this and just change a few numbers that make everything less miserable.

Kokoro Wish posted:Just re-ate a bee. I could use more explanation, like what are these hexagonal symbols that sometimes appear over my head? Seems like it might be a level-up thing, but what does it mean? It's not AP/SP -- those have different icons. And the reticle system is frustrating, but I just might be used to it yet. Hell, I'm only level 4 so far.

Have you progression-minded folks done all the quests in all the zones, or did you just zoom to the top of the level charts? (I'm just starting Blue Mountain, and I'm level 30; can't tell if that's high or not.)

Dumb question time: what is "expertise rank" in the various weapons about? Does that mean that I can buy all the skills for a new weapon but I'll still be terrible at it because it wasn't what I used all the time before?

I have no idea how cost-effective it is, but you can sell items to vendors for anima shards. Usually about 250 per thing you sell.

Len posted:I would read the poo poo out of a tsw wiki with all the lore, mission turn in text, and the extra stuff nobody asks npcs because I can read faster then they talk, also because you have to do it multiple times to exhaust everything they have to say. I have the attention-deficit disorder, so I want to read all the lore until I get into the game, when I feel compelled to do missions instead. I wish there were some way to read it all when I'm not playing.
