Though to be fair, the scenario issue is pretty much worthless unless you have a burning need to fill all the bars over the course of the better part of a year of grinding. And Freeborn is good, but pretty short. Probably the best way to farm blue signets though.
September update letter is here, and while it doesn't have too much in the way of new information it did have this little tidbit:
Our next [lucky] bag will have a sort of occupational flair to it, be sure to keep your eyes peeled!
It also says they're going to be talking about 12.5 on an upcoming stream so hopefully that + the second dungeon being on Testlive means we see it delivered... by the end of October? Dare I be that optimistic?
Also would the items from the ultimate edition upgrade be delivered? I've linked my ultimate key with my funcom account after I bought it on Steam and it shows on my account page, but haven't received anything.
edit: HAd to buy it all for free from the ingame store!
This game is so good if you just keep switching your abilities. I have no idea where I am in the story (Scorched Desert), but I totally overleveled my character to QL 10 during that 'Gaia Rocks' event last year and then I just spent the rest of my time doing dungeons over and over again for fun.
I guess I'm just going to keep doing story modes until I find an area that is not 'Very Easy'.
I need to spend some time creating decks I think, kinda just went with aoe and single target builder and finisher for both weapons. Kills stuff fine but could probably do some situational stuff and try some new weapons.
Yeah- every night I've been on, there's always been a crowd of folks in Agartha. And I get on later than most.

I saw dozens there last time I was there. Glad I can run it on my new desktop, that would have destroyed my laptop.
(Still working on Egypt, slowly but surely. And the Fedora Twins.)
Anyone got a link to a guide for addons that maybe make the HUD a little more user friendly? Moving stuff around, increasing font size, etc.
Without having to use any mods, you can click the little lock icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and that will let you re-position various parts of the UI. Under the Advanced tab in the Interface Options you can adjust the size of pretty much every part of the UI and other windows, although it's by a slider that doesn't allow for super fine control.
There was one that let you move the bars that didn't have those icons around, and I think it had text size too, that annoyingly wasn't on curse. But I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

No news on the Halloween event as of yet, aside from a brief spoiler image revealed a week or so ago hinting at a new mission for this year.
Everyone figures the previous years' Halloween stuff will be back, of course.
Anyone have an "ideal" stat distribution for a soloing build? Currently have one that is crit-heavy and while it works for some builds, it limits my options. (Can't make any penetration-related builds for example, rating is too low.)
Oh yeah, I should rework my builds now that I finally got a CIB. That makes anima shot the good builder for poding right?
Only a 10.5 hit? I thought you wanted 2x10.4 for most stuff?
If you're talking about me, that's for my soloing build and the other talisman that I have with hit is for my DPS spec, which has a signet that's useless for my soloing build.
It's what I use in scenarios. I use 2x 10.5 hit majors for DPS. I managed to get to 10 Subway Token stacks in NM group last night, so I must have enough hit :P
So the Streaming Ones... streamed... earlier. Some tidbits:
New Halloween mission in Tabula Rasa.
New bag- some of the stuff shown (not sure if all these are exclusive to the bag or not): werewolf-looking headpiece (not just a mask), long nails for your hands, plastic pumpkin mask, black morph suit (uniform, not sure if head is covered), Freddy Krueger-looking black/red striped shirt, new outfit (black with feathers). Also, motorcycle with skeleton design and flames.
All the stuff from previous Halloween events are coming back as well.
A heads-up, the new Halloween mission that ties into The Park has some stuff in it that could be considered spoilers for The Park.
It doesn't lessen my wanting to play The Park any (planning on it later tonight) but it might sour some people? So maybe play The Park before the mission.

Also it seems like Issues 5-8 are only available through the in game store?

Yup! Type
/chat join PA Wang
and you'll be in it. Mind, the channel's only active if someone's actually online and in it.
It also says they're going to be talking about 12.5 on an upcoming stream so hopefully that + the second dungeon being on Testlive means we see it delivered... by the end of October? Dare I be that optimistic?
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
Either that command is wrong or no one is in the channel? I'm in #PA though and no one is there either?
Is this cross server? I'm on Daemon with my current character.
All chat channels cross dimensions. You can even join groups and cabals across them. Think the only restriction would be PvP.
Also would the items from the ultimate edition upgrade be delivered? I've linked my ultimate key with my funcom account after I bought it on Steam and it shows on my account page, but haven't received anything.
edit: HAd to buy it all for free from the ingame store!
I guess I'm just going to keep doing story modes until I find an area that is not 'Very Easy'.
You're probably not on one of the more populated servers, then.

(Still working on Egypt, slowly but surely. And the Fedora Twins.)
Issue 7's amazing! And I just got certified to go into Tokyo, so that will be exciting!
And it comes with some TSW items, like a costume and some 10.9 neck talismans, one for each role.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU! - Switch Friend Code SW-5465-2458-5696 - Twitch
Actually it's one talisman. You can however convert it to the other roles as needed/wanted.

Weapons are Pen and Crit Power.
Gives you about 1k pen, 328 hit, and 700-something crit
Only a 10.5 hit? I thought you wanted 2x10.4 for most stuff?
If you're talking about me, that's for my soloing build and the other talisman that I have with hit is for my DPS spec, which has a signet that's useless for my soloing build.
New Halloween mission in Tabula Rasa.
New bag- some of the stuff shown (not sure if all these are exclusive to the bag or not): werewolf-looking headpiece (not just a mask), long nails for your hands, plastic pumpkin mask, black morph suit (uniform, not sure if head is covered), Freddy Krueger-looking black/red striped shirt, new outfit (black with feathers). Also, motorcycle with skeleton design and flames.
All the stuff from previous Halloween events are coming back as well.

It doesn't lessen my wanting to play The Park any (planning on it later tonight) but it might sour some people? So maybe play The Park before the mission.
