you can place it in your house just to get it out of your inventory. I think that's the only available option while they are still dealing with the dupe they had on EU

Our company data miners/spreadsheet lovers crunched a bunch of numbers.

Even being in full luck gear, trophies and flagged for pvp your luck is actually down by 9.7% percent from the nerfs when it comes to getting higher GS armour and weapons.

I'm doing the watermarking because the brainworms demand it, and the New War doesn't come out in Warframe until December.

So they fixed some elite mobs that respawned quickly to respawn slower, now instead of a 1m timer its a 2m timer. Running outside an area to trick the game into respawning elites faster is now defined as an exploit so you can report people doing it. So you stand around killing one elite spawn for around 200+ hours.

Myrkguard an area people used to farm in 10 man groups, has been buffed that it requires 20-30 players now. Open world bosses there 2 shot tanks now. Corruption ticks from the portals can nearly one shot people. And when your in a zerg of people larger than 5 people, you get less drops. And now elite chests drop maybe 1-2 items instead of multiple.

They want you to now run larazus it's a dungeon, which requires you to craft a tuning orb, and you can craft it once a week. Players no longer invite people to join groups, they now sell the slots to other people so they can do the dungeon and they get their money. It's one of the most backwards wacky progression system ever.

Since the game doesn't keep track of your watermark. The easy way is to hold one of every single equipable item in the game or you have to make... spreadsheets. I've heard that all armor is shared and that all armor isnt shared. So you have to get light, medium, heavy helmet drops to level up those watermarks. It doesn't feel like they share watermark so I have no loving clue. So you got 15 for all your armor parts, 3 for shields and then something in 12 different weapons to keep track of. The best way to describe it is new world watermarking is life getting 30 destiny characters to the current light level to be of any value.

Fast travel cost is determined by your weight. Well with all these items in your inventory you basically can no longer fast travel. Leaving the end game mountain is no longer a choice.

So far what I have seen I don't think any sane person would do, so have mercy on me and my soul.

Also since the new weapon came out and it starts at GS 500, so even if you were at GS 591 or 600 for everything else, you basically restart your entire grind because there is no target farming of anything and now the pool of potential drops just increased by 1. Even then it's even worse because your gonna get a ton of the 29 items you already grinded. This is getting pretty heavy into the Korean/Asian MMO spaces of unlimited grinding.

I logged into Placenta earlier tonight and there was no faction chat whatsoever. I went and logged out and looked at the server stats and all but like 5 servers in US West were listed as low population.

When the dupes started coming hot and heavy about a month ago I decided to take a breather. I worried that honest trading might end up conflated with duping (given all of the inventory related bugs that had occurred it seemed possible) and didn't want to risk a ban, lol and lmao. Seeing that the watermark treadmill ended up busted I think it'll be a while still before I boot the game back up again.

I'm trying EQ2 again for the first time in ages. I'm a level 45 berserker with a berserker mercenary, and I'm able to kill poo poo pretty fast.

It's a lot of fun, just gaining levels/abilities/gear and loving around with AA points. I know this isn't long term so I'm enjoying it for what it is. I'll prob roll an alt or two when I get bored then uninstall.

Do I need to be wary of rando's coming up to me and trading me a single piece of food? I'm just thinking, if it was duped, I could get banned. Someone tried to trade me a single meal and I declined for this reason... but also why would I need that.

the funniest part to me is that even though I consciously understand there is no meaningful difference between 520 faction gear and perfectly-perked GS600 armor drops (named GS600 BiS drops like Fury notwithstanding) I'm still like, "man gently caress this watermark grind change. if they can't get the server merges working so I can play outpost rush again what's the point" so I get why a lot of people hate that change too even though it doesn't actually matter

at first I thought it really was like a Skyrim-experience with optional pvp but in reality the gathering sucks poo poo now and forever: you can't actually gather anything that matters without doing Last Oasis style timing nodes for respawns and hoping that no one else shows up; unlike last oasis quality node hunting, you can't actually kill the people you're competing with for farming since 90% of the playerbase is pure pve, maybe the luck-on-flag changes fix that.

so if you want any serious amount of starmetal, or enough ori nodes to get the ori raredrops, or enough wirefiber to finish your weaving grind, or pretty much anything T4+, gooooood fuckin luck finding enough nodes that aren't already gathered (and I say this on a dead-rear end server where I'm pretty sure I'm mostly competing with my own company so I can only imagine what it's like on the med/high pop servers)

post-merge if I can't get into outpost rush within 5-10 minutes of logging in during primetime I'm probably just going to take a longass break unless my company does like, daily wars again like the first few weeks of release, which I also can't imagine since the only thing worse than the watermark grind is the pvp faction influence grind to kick off a war, but at least in theory you can take 50-60 people and can grind that poo poo out in 90 minutes if the defending faction just rolls over.

otherwise guess I'm waiting for the next expansion or something because the pvp is the only thing worthwhile to do in this game and there just isn't enough people willing to put up with the many many hurdles in front of it, understandably so

...or maybe I finally max fishing and then take a break, whatever

The sad thing is that the combat is fun, the gathering and crafting is was fun up to like lvl 100 before the patch, but just everything about the game sucks in the endgame. I just have to wonder how they hosed it up so badly.

luck-on-flag has absolutely changed gathering in a massive way and 90% of gatherers are flagged, 100% on my faction. one of our main gathering guys went from 2 void ore a day to 10. it is not small.

it has also led to some hilarious world pvp, small and large. last night we had a group of 100ish at myrk for chests while green had a group of 40ish at mines, with a purple gank squad of about 15 skulking around, and there was plenty of fuckery in all directions

it wont last, but people who have played this genre before shouldnt expect it to

I only played it briefly when it came out and have just started getting back into it.

I do not even recall all the terrible things about it before and right now it is a pretty chill robots fighting game. I've also played a poo poo ton of WOT which if you want to talk about incompetence and poor direction well oh boy but I probably have brain damage.

You're not so much paying money to get it quickly as you are to get it before the inevitable no-longer-RMT-only nerf.

I still remember them nerfing the Timber Wolf weapon mounts to disable it's strongest meta build because blah blah balance but like a month later they added a cash-only variant that was specifically configured to allow players to do the same build.

I'm sure AGS is willing to do similar fuckery if their game lasts long enough. (It won't)
