    Oh nice. I should figure out a build to solo it

    Almost as if it was a complete pain and nobody was running it...

    I much preferred the solo version because it always took more time to get a group together than actually do the missions.

    In other news, anyone want to carry Ante5, Ante6, and Ante7 through the first 2 Freeborn missions? It will be so much fun for you!

    Let's see... From the blue 2013 bags, you should get:

    bloody police uniform
    bloody biker jacket
    post-surgical abdominal wraps, bloody
    surgical gloves, bloody
    bloody leather cap

    Then Jack drops a couple of pumpkinheads (grinning, and grinning bloody). And when you complete all the 2013 missions, you get a yellow Brain Dead t-shirt.

    That's cool, I've got all but the jacket and cap already! Maybe I should try running Jack a few more times.

    Wow, that letter had some really good looking stuff in there. I especially like that there is a mode for duo when you can't find a full group!

    Looks like I picked a good time to come back.

    Finished Issue 7 just now

    Wow .. that was good. Issue 6 was alright but 7 just blew it out of the water. I prefer to see this game (and recommend it to friends) as a creepy and intriguing action/adventure with some MMO sauce on top rather than the other way around as it's completely unlike any other MMO

    The mythological and horror aspects of the game are what drew me in. I really love that kind of stuff.

    @AnteCantelope: Did you get the achievement for the 10k Fata Padurii kills? What build did you use?

  • Options
    AnteCantelopeAnteCantelope Registered User regular
    No, I'm only up to 1000 of them. I use my regular solo build, which at the moment is pistol/shotgun, one health piece, and everything else is dps. I only attack the ones with the fire aura buff, because you can kill them without worrying about the spirits. I can (just) kill them before they use their affliction attack, which helps me run between a bunch of them and kill them faster.

    Of course, they're still one of the slower mobs to grind so I haven't bothered too much yet. The build I use for Mama Padurii has two quick and easy hinders, I could use that on regular Padurii and it might speed things up a bit... but mostly I just can't be bothered to grind them for hours at a time so I just kill as many as I can whenever I'm in the area.

    The Dragon mission statements are sometimes/often vague, but some of them I really like:

    Well, I just found a lovely impair exploit. Prisoner of Fate is officially the impair with the least downtime now. Did 18s with that as my only impair. I only missed a single Macroshock in HR.

    Edit: Issue 8 signets are +1.5% evade chance, +1.5% damage, and +1.5% healing. So the only particularly interesting one is the DPS one since that applies to everything unlike the +1/2/3% damage signets.

    Edit edit: I kind of successfully healtanked Facility. Other guy had to do 5, but I've done it before. Would still like to get my set all the way to .4.4 though.

    Hm. That's a nice DPS signet indeed.

    What's the usual healing signets? Or does it not matter because you're only using 1 weapon to heal anyway, so it's worse than a blue

    The healing signets are +1/2/3% Heals (direct?), +1/2/3% barriers, +1/2/3% leech effect (this is additive, to my understanding)

    So yeah, that's a pretty silly healing signet then. Especially since they've usually been somewhere between a blue and purple

    Wow, that augment system sounds le cool. I'm tempted to reroll and play again for a bit. I initially got turned off by sitting in Agartha trying to find groups for elite dungeons (and the whole idea of folks only interested in doing nightmare with people who'd...already done nightmare), but merhaps it's time to take another look. I did really enjoy the "leveling" process, and healing dungeons was pretty friggin' exciting.

    Can't hurt to try, and if I get hooked again I could always buy the DLC (unless there's some reason a reroll would want a DLC installed?).

    You were just looking in the wrong place. #noobmares

    Also, I'm not really sure I understand the point of rerolling a character in this game...

    ringswraithringswraith Registered User regular
    Some stuff is locked behind DLC, but you can certainly play without it and get them later.

    If your other char is stuck on elites, let us know- we're more than happy to help.

    Do you mean the HF impair/debil one or my tank one that's actually not all that great? Or did you mean that DPS build I was doing with chaos/pistol?

    Tank build. Just to get an idea. He's looking at making one for tanking himself.

    With the DA/BS change, I need to change it. It wasn't great to begin with, and now without being able to use BS to build a bunch of Debil stacks, it's not really worth even looking at.

    I just got my first axillary weapon (QB).

    That's... a fair number of points to sink into it to do, well, anything with it. Hell, I ain't even done getting my main stuff to 10.

    Yeah, and augments will cost even more. Try to get into a quarry group if you see one adverting when you're in the agartha

    @AnteCantelope: Do you have another blue Breaching by any chance?

  • Options
    AlegisAlegis Impeckable Registered User regular
    I've never done any of the raid groups, what's the recommended gear level for those? I'm mostly QL10 Purple with the 10.1 Issue pieces on my tank gear, DPS gear is mostly blue with some purple pieces (and the 10.1 pieces, I took those in attack).

  • Options
    SpoitSpoit *twitch twitch* Registered User regular
    I think I might, That time I got that violence I got another one we were talking about, can't remember if it was breaching or lace

    It depends.

    With a good group of competent players you could do it in ~QL10 purples. There's a bit of a dps check but you should be fine.

    With the pugs you're actually likely to see, you won't get invited unless you have all 10.4.4, and at least one 10.5. And even then you'll probably wipe.

    Sorry Maki, I'm all out of spare breachings.
    @Spoit I have no achievements because EU4 is a dick and after setting it to windowed mode one time, nothing will make it enable achievements, not even a complete reinstall.

    Okay, Issue 8 is available. Everyone has access to Venice right now. Subscribers get early access to the purchased Issue 8 part, which is The Castle, The Franklin Mansion, and Nightmare difficulty for scenarios.

    Yep. I got all excited and went to watch the first cutscene while getting ready for work this morning.

    @Spoit: If you do have a blue one, I'm looking to buy. Lemme know how much.

    Everyone has access, but I doubt I can do anything there with my not even QL10 gear. I'm having too much fun playing side missions to try and grind out better equipment.

    Is it just Venice access or is other stuff available without issue 8?

    It's all Venice. Scenarios and the Augment system are tied to it.

    More practice! Also because I had two other DPS I could reasonably trust and a Squig, as opposed to having to rely on two filthy pubbies, I only had to rely on one.

    There is also an item in the store, Venetian Exemption, that will remove your Scenario lockout timers on use. 5 Vet Points for 5.

    Tanked NM Slaughterhouse for the first time with a new group just now. Damn .. took quite a while, but sure was intense. I can see why it would be easier as a healtank. Got it nailed now though in the normal way and chaos for the last encounter

    I quite like these dungeons on NM, very intense

    NM SH requires a healtank? Pretty sure that's only for Facility...
