Ugh! It's killing me not being able to play! After 10 pm on the fourth I have been locked out, because I haven't gotten my box in the mail yet. Should be able to pick it up on Monday.
I emailed Trion to see if they could give me a couple days wiggle room. You know, use the 'ole I'm a service member overseas and I'm just waiting on delivery!
But no joy! Alas, they never emailed me back! Now I'm going to be the only one in the 30's and you all will be in the 40's by then
Miss you guys

" I am a warrior, so that my son may be a merchant, so that his son may be a poet.”
― John Quincy Adams
Everything is much better once you get out of Freemarch. You can only have one soul quest at a time, but that's just a nitpick. Once you enter a new zone, you'll gain maybe one level before running into the zone's porticulum, and there are class trainers at the outposts. If yours isn't at one, it will probably be at the next. I usually got so wrapped up in the quests that I forgot I even leveled.
I dunno, that's a pretty damn big nitpick in my eyes. That means it's going to take me several hours of running around just so I can fill out my souls and get another role, depending on how easily I'm able to find rifts. Not to mention the constant running without a taxi system.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting terrible flashbacks of vanilla WoW and spending 50% of my game time running in a straight line so I could actually do something.
At least you can unlock the souls. In any other game you'd have to have an alt to access what is actually another class. This is something you should not complain about.
In games like this there's a fine line between appropriate grindy and unnecessarily tedious. After rolling a Guadian alt with some RL friends, it's crystal clear that Freemarch falls in the unnecessarily tedious category. The layout is just really, really bad. I still enjoy Freemarch, but I'm also incredibly masochistic.
In a way I like that there's no real taxi service, you feel a lot more connected to the world rather than the immersion of "scan map for exclamation points." But yeah, gfg if you're at the end of an invasion, people calling for help and, lo and behold, they need you on the other god damn end of the zone. Oh hey I'll be there in 5 min. Wait, make that 10, if I stray a millimeter from the road this mob 8 levels below me will aggro from a half mile away and dismount me. (This horse is starting to die, but it's not quite dead yet)
It's still overall a great game, but it has plenty of room for improvement.

For some reason, the Water Plane invasion where you have to kill the 4 marks after defeating the 50 invasions... The north 2 marks always go down last. And the boss always spawns in the south.

I love exploring in this game SO MUCH.
I found the cairn and puzzle in Scarlet Gorge yesterday! Getting to the cairn was really fun and quite the little "adventure"! I then put a Guild Rally Banner next to it and had my guildies warp in to snatch it too

So where exactly can I spend my corrupted sourcestones and what not as a defiant? I see all the shitty little rewards you can get with just planarite, but nothing else.
* Fixed a bug during Major Rifts where low ranking contributors wouldn't get Planarite. All contributors should receive at least some Planarite.
* Reduced the amount of zone event participation required to earn the rare Sourceshards.
Did anyone else seem to run out of quests around level 38? I've done everything in Moonshade and I'm currently doing Draughtlands quests but they seem to have gone from level 38 to 41. Am I missing something?
* Boosted Recovery: The incoming healing bonus has been reduced to 2-6%, down from 10-30%, to be in line with the Warlord ability Figurehead.
ARRRGH Why Trion, Why ?! all i wanted was to be able to solo decently with my Sin/Rs. Well looks like i'll be using my marksman spec pretty much 100% now, since the only downside was the recovery.

Are you sure you've done everything in Moonshade? The quests there go up until at least level 40.
Droughtlands quests do tend to suddenly jump in levels, I had a similar thing happen when I was 36 and all the quests were 38/39. Running through moonshade fixed it though.

Wow umm, queues. I guess its my fault, but I did not expect that.
Then again, I guess it speaks for the success of a game when this happens. Guess I am waiting an hour to maybe play for one.
Wow, looks like the Queues are back. I guess it's less than hour this time, so thats an improvement.
Also: Why was I made to hoof it from the ass-end of Stonefield all the way to Meridian (Well, the port in stonefield) and back again for the Titan's Bane?
33 Minute queue right now on Faeblight. That's what I get for going to the comedy club tonight.

Simpsons and I have had a lot of discussions about the level gap problems in some zones.
It seems if you don't dedicate a portion of your time to Rift'ing, Invasion'ing and Dungeon'ing as you level, you will often find yourself underleveled, having to grind dungeons and whatnot just to catch up, but it seems like once you encounter this problem, it comes back over and over.
My rogue is now 42, nearly 43, and I hit a dead end in Droughtlands at level 41, all my quests being level 44.
Mobs 3 levels higher than me have thus far been extremely difficult to kill.
I had to skip ahead to Iron Pines and quest for a bit, just so I can finish Droughtlands.
I've had to stop while leveling a number of times to play catchup in a dungeon or something.
It doesn't seem like you can quest seamlessly from levels 1 to 50. At least, that's been my experience thus far as Defiant.
I completely skipped droughtlands, and doing +1 level quests. I skipped the last half of both Stonefield and Scarlet Gorge. I hop back between shimmersands, and Iron Peak and don't seem to be running out of quests. I can go to Stillmoor as well for more equal level quests.

I feel this. I'm 23 right now, and stuck in Stonefield. Stuck. I have now been habitually 1 level behind a quest hub. As I progress to the next hub, everything is orange again.
I am not enjoying this part. I logged off in Meridian hoping to get a bunch of rested XP for tomorrow so I can burst through, because I am nearly out of quests past Quarry, and only 1/3rd of the way through the level.
By not rifting to much, and leaving Freemarch at 17 I really screwed myself. Now I've got to bumble my way through several levels before I can get back on par.

I emailed Trion to see if they could give me a couple days wiggle room. You know, use the 'ole I'm a service member overseas and I'm just waiting on delivery!
But no joy! Alas, they never emailed me back! Now I'm going to be the only one in the 30's and you all will be in the 40's by then
Miss you guys

At least you can unlock the souls. In any other game you'd have to have an alt to access what is actually another class. This is something you should not complain about.
buy warhams
In a way I like that there's no real taxi service, you feel a lot more connected to the world rather than the immersion of "scan map for exclamation points." But yeah, gfg if you're at the end of an invasion, people calling for help and, lo and behold, they need you on the other god damn end of the zone. Oh hey I'll be there in 5 min. Wait, make that 10, if I stray a millimeter from the road this mob 8 levels below me will aggro from a half mile away and dismount me. (This horse is starting to die, but it's not quite dead yet)
It's still overall a great game, but it has plenty of room for improvement.
For some reason, the Water Plane invasion where you have to kill the 4 marks after defeating the 50 invasions... The north 2 marks always go down last. And the boss always spawns in the south.
I found the cairn and puzzle in Scarlet Gorge yesterday! Getting to the cairn was really fun and quite the little "adventure"! I then put a Guild Rally Banner next to it and had my guildies warp in to snatch it too
I already received one, but based on the first post I thought that was only an option on the pve server?
GENERAL GAMEPLAY
* You can now link locations in chat! Just like other links, shift-right-click your map or minimap while entering chat text. Clicking someone's location link in chat will place a waypoint on your own map.
* You can now swim up using the jump key while also in mouselook mode (default: right mouse button to look around).

* Raid groups roaming across the lands to destroy non-Rift/Invasion content will see lowered experience rewards.

* Experience for appropriately sized groups relative to the difficulty of Rift, Invasion, and Foothold content has been returned to higher amounts as seen previously in Beta.
* Experience for Rift, Invasion, and Foothold content now scales down from these increased levels when very oversized groups are participating – with the net result being that very large groups should see experience values similar to the amounts granted prior to this update. Smaller groups will see increased experience reward.

CULT SAGA

Not better, but they do have more variety. I am enjoying the hell out of Reaver tanking right now.

NOOOOOO

Are you sure you've done everything in Moonshade? The quests there go up until at least level 40.
Droughtlands quests do tend to suddenly jump in levels, I had a similar thing happen when I was 36 and all the quests were 38/39. Running through moonshade fixed it though.
I think I have. I certainly can't find any quests or any areas that I haven't explored.

I am not enjoying this part. I logged off in Meridian hoping to get a bunch of rested XP for tomorrow so I can burst through, because I am nearly out of quests past Quarry, and only 1/3rd of the way through the level.
By not rifting to much, and leaving Freemarch at 17 I really screwed myself. Now I've got to bumble my way through several levels before I can get back on par.
