Hey Dulfy :P

[Maarius]

you're too fast dulfy (as always), people won't bother trying it on their own.

It's like I said earlier, why give some super reward for the scavenger hunt when Dulfy already tells you how to get it before you can even get it.

It's a free 5 skill points for running around.

OTOH, I was hitting the plaques in LA when they appeared for Dragonbash and got a "phantom achievement". Something popped up and said "achievement 10 plaques found" or something, but disappeared quickly and was not listed in my achievements, so not sure if it still counts when the stuff goes live.

I.. love.. monocles. Best patch ever.

The one in Dulfy's link is Medium armor though, so hrm.

It's tradeable, so it'll be on the Trading Post, but it's also berserker so it'll probably be expensive. Neither of my medium's needs a monocle though, I wish it were light, even heavy could work for me. Maybe there's three versions, but most of the goggle sets are medium, so it fits.

[Purple]

Bah.

Actually there is a light armor set (Human) that looks like a leather set with eye gear, not really goggles, more like wonky zoom-in steampunk spectacles. I don't know what to call them. My Necromancer wears that set's visuals all the time, I don't think I've ever used much in the way of the actual high level gear visuals. Well, I do use one or two other mid-to-high level ones but other than that..

Three versions would be great for my purposes.

[dulfy]

It is all 3 versions with same appearence, same stats but different armor types.

[carnifex2005]

I'm guessing there are 3 versions. That monocle is one of the drops in the dungeon.

The only downside of the monocle is you can't wear it at the same time as the top hat

Deep Strike: This trait now scales with level rather than granting a flat bonus. cant decide if thats good or bad but im guessing bad

Depends on how they scale it, but probably a bad thing at low levels and either an indifferent or good thing at high levels.

I'm hoping this new "story dungeon" lives up to the name, or if it'll be another dissapointingly short affair like Canach's lair. Considering they've called both Canach's lair and Molten Facility "story dungeons" despite the pieces of content being of vastly different levels of quality, I'm not sure what to expect.

I wish they would tag these labels with something like, "a short story dungeon" or "a lengthy story dungeon" or something. Anything to know what to expect so I don't have my expectations too high.

LMFAOROTF Lots of ppl here who forgot it's not a subscription game....seriously, how much shit should you get for paying a one time price to own the game? Holy shazam we've got some very interesting sorts around here.
pro tip: being AMGFUCKTHISGAME! isn't going to wrangle anyone into fixing the game your way ect, b/c they already have your money. Don't like it, don't play. But unlike wow, it's doubly so, b/c it's a buy to play game. No sub. Read it again and consider. No. Sub.

As much as games competing in the same genre and market.

No need to wonder, Dulfy's got the walkthrough, it's basically of the same scale as the Molten Facility.

This. It doesn't matter what your payment model is, you need to compete with the other games in the market. One of the most important things an MMO needs is players, lots of players. They need a busy world and new content gets them a busy world.

If they didn't remove temp content to make the world feel more alive and progressive it would be putting out more content then WoW and Rift currently do and if you play every month then you are getting more content then a sub based.

I hope they fix illusionary elasticity so clones get the bounce bonus.

Then my condition build will be mother fucking brilliant with some decent aoe condition applying.
