    My girlfriend LOVES what they did to this game since Mod 6 came out, because now I spend very LITTLE time playing. unlike Mods 4-5 when I was on ALL the time. True Story.

    Are we to assume that invoking is WAI? I have to prove to the game that I'm not a bot? Move a little, open up my professions, invoke, claim some professions, invoke, move around some more, invoke, finally get my reward and then continue on with my life? Seems to be my daily invoking routine now.

    All you have to do for the first invoke is hit cntrl+i, the window pops up for a second, then hit the invoke icon at the top right corner next to the map...that's all. Works every time.. After the first invoke all is normal.

    Really? I thought hitting ctrl+i furiously while cursing cryptic about broken invocation mechanics would work. :/
    Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.

    After the pop, I always have to hit alt, before doing the second ctrl+i...
    Seriously though, that three-keystroke issue for invocation isn't even on my list of problems with the current playability of the game.

    My wife was a big fan of mod 6. Now she's talking about getting a PS4, so I can have a avenue to work out the usual work frustrations and my more OCD tendencies. She doesn't mind the spotless house, the clean and folded laundry, nor the dishes being done - but, she does not want me getting into her vegetables and flower beds :p

    Time to bring out the old rubik's cube then...
  • regenerderegenerde Member Posts: 3,047 Arc User
    Why even bother with a server warning, that the servers will be coming down in 15min, when you pull the plug 5min after that warning?
    I do believe in killing the messenger...
    Want to know why?
    Because it sends a message!

    It's not the warming up: they gotta wait for the Cool Down before they can use the power again...

    Nope... now that they have a release date we are only going to see server resets till Aug 11. They will not patch a thing till after Aug 11.

    All you will see now is "We have a fix for that and that is apart of the Aug 11 release".

    So enjoy Strongholds when it comes out!!

    The "servers" are actually hosted on server clusters. Probably scores of blade servers that have to be rebooted following a specific procedure. Some have to be rebooted before or after others, some can be rebooted together. And each takes a good 15 minutes or so to fully come back up.

    Also, remember that with Cryptic's unified server architecture, Dragon is not like a server for almost any other MMO. It is much "larger". For example, it is probably closer to a WoW Battlegroup (about 20 "servers") than it is an individual WoW "server".

    That invoke thing is annoying. I bound it to a single key (Insert) to make it easier to tap repeatedly.

    I disagree about the XP though. In my opinion, the XP to get from 60-70 is a good pace for the game. Getting from 1-60 is too quick overall. 1-30 is OK where it is, but 30-60 should take about twice as long as it does now.

    Why do they need to reset the whole farm can't they simply take one server in the farm ofline at a time?
    There are more than BIS players in this game
    RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ????
    FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base
    Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)
