Richard M Nixon posted:Well done Funcom. Good poo poo coming down the pipeline. Drinkfist is currently preparing his vitriolic response, possible involving Goodwin's law. I yelled a lot. They heard me. They got scared. They said they would fix a few things. Still not a single new 3d art asset in the game. Ragnar and Bylos are still not on staff. Still not any new content for the relaunch. PST posted:Did someone else take Funcom over in the past 24 hours? Albeit i'm sure the patron upgrades are because, well, they really want more people taking it out, and it's just not worth it atm, but that's a decent list of changes, Not everything is sunshine and roses, but a lot, lot better. It's called pandering. You see this every four years in the USA. Season 2 is The Wall.

Lawlicaust posted:Tried to do some Elite 1 today. So far Elite dungeon finder takes about 45 minutes and frequently doesn't match you with a tank or healer. Boss mechanics have to be dodged or they 1-shot. Boss melee attacks hit for about 3k (80-90% of dps hp, half a tank's hp). So uh, start leveling that tank/heal gear if you want to do them. Probably need at least all/most tank/heal blues. Yeah it was easy as hell to see this issue and you should have known better. Gone are the days of full DPS talisman setups. You need to slot some Tanking talismans in order to survive the high end poo poo. I have successfully killed 4 lair mobs now using my fuckery so just a bit more and I can go stable without the joke things I am doing to them. Unfortunately lair missions rewards are all about 5 people having a summon token. Lair mobs are dead at 78 item power. Now pay me Lawlicaust and Ill tell you how I did it.

Unless you were like me and bought up sets of 3 pip Defense Rating Glyphs and Hit Rating Glyphs for 1,000 marks each because everyone in the whole game is focusing on Attack Rating and Crit and EVERYTHING that isn't that was super cheap to get. Now the price is spiking due to the idiots getting enlightened about how this game works. I also have 7 Talisman sets for Attack, HP and Heal all three pip by just watching the super cheap prices on the original broken market. Now that people can search for it directly the prices are on the rise.

ImpactVector posted:No, just fighting zombies and draug near the lighthouse in SC. I was watching for DoTs, and didn't see anything. You triggered an egg probably. Combat sticks after hitting the following occasionally during aoe combat: Draug Eggs, Crucified Bodies, Blood Bags, Spore Bombs, Explosive Objects and anything else with a health bar. The Chain attacks are notorious for this as they can occasionally jump far past their given radius and drag in some mob from the edge of view distance. I have seen it happen at least three times now with my pistol chain attacks.

Morglon posted:Let me just mention here that the end game story dungeons are bugged to poo poo. Facility for example has a bug that the second to last boss puts a dot on you that lasts until you die. Same goes for the last boss but for the entire party. Our healer tried to keep us up but everybody constantly taking a hundred damage every second for no drat reason got us eventually. For gently caress's sake did anybody actually play test anything? I've been getting bugs in this I've never seen in my years of playing classic. What kind of healer doesn't have a cleanse? Purges and Cleanses are super important. I did see that the Regeneration cleanse is not working but the ability is still the most powerful elite skill in the game hands down. With Regeneration you can clear everything in the game without issue. Hell I soloed four of the region bosses and a handful of lair mobs because of it.

 Tanked my first Elite 1 dungeon. It was doable with the gear you see me with. Also I put all the stuff I got from the single run in a bag as you can also see. The Elite dungeons give you an item and distillate every box you open. The green distills are 400xp and the blue one is 500xp. So now that they got it all 50/50 in the story dungeons its better to run the Elites for Distillates and some degree of challenge over the story snooze cruise. I am gonna ballpark About 200-250 Item power before I can go tanking Lairs without gimmicks and a standard 5 man group.

The resonance here does not match the frequency of their meat. It precipitates a messy discord. If you align with the "Anti-Anima" the bees are gonna loving kill you. On a second note. This crew already made clear that if you exploit then they are gonna ban you. This happened to everyone involved in loving with the exchange two weeks ago. I don't see how finding another exploit and abusing it made you think that this time it was gonna be ok. The original crew from TSW let this poo poo slide all the time and I am willing to bet that Funcom considers it one of many reasons why everyone vacated TSW. The Dynamite exploit, Cartwheel Exploit, Lair Crafting Exploit, Crimson Theatre Glitch, Filth Rain Glitch, Zombie Horde Glitch and ect.

Everyone they are looking for is for UE4 which they are trying to somehow intergrate into their Dreamworld Engine like Frankenstien's monster. Still have not seen a single dedicated person for SWL team and for some strange reason they are still posting Conan Exiles openings.

Amante posted:All the bugs and bullshit aside, doing TSW's dungeons with the old goon crew was the most fun I ever had with group content in a MMO, and that's as someone who raided in other games for years. I have been Tanking Elilte 1 Dungeons so if you need a tank you can message me "Drinkfist" in game if I am online. You can also find me in my natural habitat in "The Angry Dome" in CTS2.0 mumble. I am not going to be joining the goon guild because Nixon named it "Make Agartha Great Again" and anyone who enjoys that name can go beat the dead horse in a corner on reddit somewhere. Also Nixon cant get a grip and I dislike him. Also Discord is for children and "children enthusiasts". GEMorris posted:That group went through many stages. I probably can't get back to having time for a game for another few months at least. I spoke to Killson a few days ago and he said the FF14 tentacles have got him hard. There is a slight chance we could convince/trick him that this bad game is still fun.

boho posted:I can't seem to find a TSWL info site or anything so I figured I'd ask here: There is no such thing as synergies between weapons anymore. Every weapon is isolated and all passives are strictly for their corresponding weapon. The dumbest loving decision they made. Babies complained that the skill wheel was so loving mind blowing that they couldn't handle it so they dumbed down the entire system to be as braindead and safe as possible. They put so little thought into it that if you are using Rifle abilities but didn't slot a grenade ability you will just constantly explode for no reason. Also for reasons unknown we can only slot six actives and six passives now and force you to have a basic attack so your options are total poo poo. Pilchenstein posted:Am I thinking of the region bosses or something then? I'm sure I remember something requiring five people to summon. They required five people to summon every lair boss. But only one person needed to have the ritual to start it. There appears to be no puzzle pieces anymore as well as it looks like you just do the lair quest and then do the summon with five. Lairs are the source of signets so getting a five man group that can burn down 200k+ health mobs is the new life of things.

Len posted:I've been assured that evade is trash and not worth using though. I couldn't get any reason why it's trash just that it's trash. The reason why it is borderline trash is that it is a separate roll. Basically when you take a hit it does this : (Evade Roll) if fail then (Hit Damage roll(Glance Roll if success -70% Damage) - Protection %) Secret World Legends took out Penetrate and Block making the decision even easier. Hit Chance decreases Evade and Glance but works against Evade a lot harder. Making Evade chances drop drastically against harder targets but Glance still holding at workable levels as you can stack Glance chances much higher than Evade chances. Also there are a handful of ground telegraphs that happen that cannot be evaded but can be Glanced. Glance got a buff from -60% damage to -70% now and stacking even further with base protection damage decreases. Tallgeese posted:With such easy self-healing, if glance tanks are still a thing they will be basically impossible to kill and PVP will be unbearable. This was never true because of Red Mist. Red Mist in TSW was pretty much the kill anything and they brought it back in SWL by not only making it never be evaded or glanced but also added a heavy snare and huge increase to crit power damage. If you nail a tank with a critical Red Mist in pvp he is gonna be at death's door. The Glyph Theorycrafting here can show you spergy bullshit. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HVgBeFTbXH0eZ5dJVtzXXm6HyITMHLUyM8avntoPOSI/edit#gid=800696490 Drinkfist fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jul 15, 2017 |

I need a good healer to go ahead and defect from the garbage cabal Nixon is running so I can start doing lairs. I can survive the hits now but not for very long with my hybrid tank/heal build. I also have no idea how some of the people in agartha have 250 Item power. Its got to be at least everything purple and level 25 which is a tall order this early in the release. 130 Item power is roughly with all maxed out blue talismans and glyphs with purple weapons. Unless Signets add a fuckload of item power I don't see it being anything less.

Gone are the days when I could just join a server, that was too loving convenient. Its gotta be invites with cross platform logins where the thing can't decide if it wants a client or to run in the browser. Discord is garbage. With mumble you just join the loving server. Its too loving easy. And you can understand everyone's voice because the goddam codec isn't poo poo. Goon CTS Mumble was made for this exact poo poo. 200 slots that someone else pays for to talk about trash games we play.
