    I'm glad they upped the level cap. Now everyone can die horribly in Storm talon/Kel Voreth at the appropriate level! (Stormtalon's is way easier than Kel Voreth BTW because Exiles are babbys)

    So tomorrow I'll be trying to rip through an Esper as fast as possible. I need to hit 18 this weekend and test out some skill synergy.

    I'll post when I'm getting on and such, if anyone wants to come with me (and it would be most welcome, even if just for a couple hours), I plan powering through the content at a pretty good clip.

    When do you receive these mystery boxes? I played some the last beta weekend, but even if I had "mail" I didn't get to that point.

    While it's on my mind and before anyone asks, UI 2.0 will not be in tomorrow's patch that is containing a few small but critical fixes. New UI is still on track for April. Expect it for the later April date and not the 4th. That way if it is on the 4th it can be a pleasant surprise

    Can someone explain the Beta Mystery Boxes?

    Do we just have to log in during beta?

    Because I don't want to play any more but I would like some sweet swag.

    Also @Sniper_Guy‌ it looks like you didn't actually sign up for that thing you posted on the last page lol.

    @DemonStacey Yup, just log in during beta. You get one for every day of beta you log in to be delivered to you via protostar mail at launch

    Every DAY? Well damn, I'm gonna be loaded.

    Also, remember my disappointment in the new ss resource meter? A crb response to me on reddit pretty much stated that there are now 4 of them. Which is much cooler.

    yeah I was gonna comment about how it looked oddly off center but work distracted me. Kinda makes me wonder if they're going back to a hybrid of its first iteration with the way they're talking up the changes.

    Made my Esper.

    No one was on to invite to the guild (I feel like we need more officers, like everyone should be able to invite in the beta guild).

    Logged off to go to work.

    Anyone that's in right now can invite. But they ran into a snag where anyone who logged out in a housing plot is stuck playing an alt because hosing is hosed atm

    the GOOD news is my framerate is fucking awesome right now for some reason

    I heard about that logout bug, didn't realize it was that bad. I thought it was just some people, not everyone.

    Hmm, I'll be curious to see my framerates when I log on tonight.

    Does the game do a detect optimal settings type thing? I suppose trying to optimize speed/quality at the moment isn't really doable with the constant tweaks to the game.

    Everyone in the guild has full permissions for everything but deleting the guild. Except the joke rank but it does invite people to that rank so the inviter needs to promote them.

    Yeah I should probably sign up for my own sheet.

    Which is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12m9jF6-BSdZZ9eCjTCb9nmfy-J63kFClVG5S8xQCccs/viewform#start=invite if you are interested in playing Exile PvP! (I'm on as SniperGuy right now on Pergus if you want an invite to the Merch beta weekend guild!)

    Accidentally created a character on the wrong server. Went to delete her.

    She starts crying. Meh no big deal. Delete.

    Incineration.

    Oh and beez, i think when mmos aren't optimized, server lag plays a huge role in fps. I'm sure there is a technical explanation, but i have seen it a lot in mmos, recently gw2. When you get on early or at odd times fps seems abnormally high. Then when it gets bogged down you see fps stuttering.

    Something else that helps tremendously is an SSD, when you get in highly populated areas you tend to hit the hard drive a lot more.

    Suppose talk on the forum is gonna be sparse now that everyone but me and like one other person can't play right now. =[
    At least my work day is super laid back today, even my boss said don't work too hard.
