Woohoo!

If I did not have to work today I would probably be going a bit Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Thankfully that will keep me occupied for most of the remainder of time until I can play the Hunter Ranger on the live server! :D

So how are you guys spending your time until release?

And what are you looking forward to the most?

    Been pretty much ready for a week now

    Leadership boxes ready in total 944 over 4 toons (Purples/Blues/Greens)
    Hunter Alt items ready (and thanks to panderus purple bows ^_^)
    Enchants all rank 7/8 ready for fusion
    AD ready for fusion items / marks

    Question

    Do we have a time yet when servers are going down/up (GMT Time zone) for module 2?

    About the only thing I might do is try to run some dungeons to get items for collections.

    Downtime hasn't been posted yet, but it will most likely be the normal downtime window for patches.

    They are adding in new stuff for the new encantment fusing system. Of course, the items that will come out of are pretty worthless. Green chests/Barrels will be dropping the white quality marks of potency and the blue chests drop white pearls (which give 50 refining points)

    so... the companions and mount upgrde will still have the ridiculous price ? almost unworthy to do it ? nothing change on test realm about that .. and nothing changed to companions except for the active bonus they are still not worth to get

    Yeah mounts and companions need reduced

    Green to blue is 300k down to 100k would be better

    blue to purple from 750k down to 300k

    One thing i didnt count on is the special Rank 7/8/9/10 greater marks i thought you only needed one of them to go to 7/8 8/9 and 9/10 however you achually need 2 :( 200k ad needed to progress to 7/8/9/10

    800k+ even more to get an Enchantment/Rune from rank 7 to 10 is a rip off,

    I've been spending my time farming and fusing enchants. Otherwise, I've been working out things to do with respeccing my DC (more HP) GWF (Vanguard, More HP) and TR (Permastealth, hopefully). Since I can't respec them yet, it seems pointless to do much with them at the moment. When the module goes live, it might be the weekend before I can start new content. There are a lot of items to unlsot enchants and either re-enchant or salvage, probably new items to buy, temporary runes to remove from Stones and new ones to place, respecs...

    ETA I've been saving leadership chests as well, but only blue and purple ones because of inventory reasons. Guessing I've got about 550 blues and three purples.

    Well, today is my day off, so I will be spending it lamenting over how Im going to be 3 days behind everyone else's Hunter Rangers. Really looking forward to getting all of my enchantments out of the old gear I have accumulated.

    That's about it. Soon it will be just more dailies to grind, more companions to grind, more enchantment reagents to grind.

    Is there one being added to the Greycloak box or whatever it is called or epic quality gear from one of the previous packs?

    I'm still not sure whether to change over to main Ranger or stay CW main , I really liked the Ranger on test but it just doesn't seem like it can throw out the very respectable DPS with added control that I can do on my CW , if some of the skills had strong grasping roots instead of the seemingly non functional weak version that they had last time I logged onto test then maybe it would make my choice easier but atm I'm stuck lol

    I have been fusing all my stuff lower then rank 5, but I guess I need to try to make some rank 6's this afternoon too.

    Also, I have been making sure everyone has at least 24k glory.

    Completely forgot about the leadership boxes...so oh well.

    The Greycloak one is blue quality. The Delzoun one from the Hero of the North pack however is purple.

    The other option is keeping some equipment cache from the Dark Forest lockbox. There is also the box from Welcome Back packs they have done a few times which contains a purple weapon.

    In setting these prices, they are looking at how much money all players in the game earn. For me, while "expensive", these prices are very doable. There are other players that have even much more income than I do.

    Average players (in terms of money) will have average gear. Players that either work hard to earn a lot of AD (me) or players that want to spend real money to get AD (somehow this great game has to be paid for...) will have the best gear. Players that don't do either will have average gear.

    Not everyone can be an Alpha.

    Also, unless your main interest is PvP, Rank 10 enchants and all the best pet bonuses are absolutely unnecessary to enjoy the content.

    I don't think I'll be making a ranger until traditional holiday gaming weekend, so you'll still get to be a few weeks ahead of me.

    Been preparing more for artifacts and the new refining system than anything. It's going to take a while to sort everyone out.

    Haven't been on live server for almost a month, with the rare occasion where I went to live for PvP with my DC (and where I found Mr. Banelorn :o). Prolly I'll be on preview still maybe til 2 days after Shadowmantle goes live.

    LOL. Love the creativity of some people.

    Hunter Ranger tip: Look to history and look at foreign languages to come up with some great names for a HR that are *not* Aragorn, yet have some meaning.

    I remember that match. Was a pleasure to have been able to team up with you that time, Dream! Sad that the match ended quickly due to the opponents not resisting after all 3 nodes were capped.

    Hope to see you again in the game after module 2 hits! :)

    As for me, I'm looking forward to the Dread Ring campaign and getting the new Fallen Dragon weapons. So many good stuff in store for us in Mod 2. But I guess I'll be hitting the lowbie levels with everyone else as a Hunter Ranger first. Got a unique build prepped up just for my ranger.
