  • If I’d known you were tweaking Gatling Gun, I’d have asked for the Sheer Force advantage to be given the ability to knock down at any distance. I guess it’s too late now…

    Account Bound anniversary sidekicks in the account bank aren't tracked by the vendor. You have to move them to your inventory.

    Is the optimal way to farm currency doing Qularr invasion repeatedly? Doing cat finding daily on multiple characters seems tedious since there is no quick routine for it.

    Only have to do 5 cats now (no longer 10!). Pretty quick chore.

    It's super quick if the cats feel like respawning properly. Half of the time they respawn in 30 seconds to a minute, and the other half they respawn 8 minutes and a bathroom break later, so during prime time competition for completing cat dailies results in cats pretty much not existing for extended periods of time. Which is pain.

    ... I'm, uh, admittedly really looking forward to the "Destroids attacking the edges of the rencen" daily...
    The fact that the forums refuse to tell you how close you are to the character/post size limit until you attempt to post something that happens to be too big- and the automated spam filter will immediately completely lock you out of posting long-term if you attempt to post or edit posts too close to the character limit- is genuine agony.

    This is my cry for help

    Hmm, I don't find that the cats take that long to respawn, but I play at non-peak hours and doing 5 cats takes me at most 5 mins. With the new currency scheme and my 100+ characters I can just do the same 5 cats for the entire anniversary.

    Th cats are easy for multiple different characters, but keeping track of all of them since you aren't allowed to interact with the same cat over and over again is a problem. Unless they removed that limitation.

    Bug:
    The "We Like to Party" Title item is purchasable from the vendor despite not being Usable, but also my character doesn't have the title or perk associated with it. It is a dead item.
