Ok,i`ve been playing this game from the start of open beta. And had a fair share of fun,frustration and everything inbetween. When i started "modul 1" i was somewhat disappointed cause im not overly fond of daily/timed stuff.But i progressed through.
i have 4 toons,all at lvl. 60,from 9k gs-11 k gs,and i started Sharandar with all 4 toons ( LOLOLOL), then cut down to 2 cause it was simply too DULL to go through the content with all 4.
which brings me to the "wtf is wrong with u" moment. Today after all the grinding,all the dull,mind numbing grinding fuc* fest that i endured these 15-19 days. I finnaly managed to grind the abjurring (or whatever its called) thingies that is requiered for unlocking malabogs realm,and with naive smile on my face i clicked the litlle flag that opens the campaign window. ONLY TO SEE THAT IM 70 BLOODY SPARKS SHORT OF UNLOCKING THE BLOODY THING!!!!!!!!
WTF???? I mean wasnt it enough??? 9 more days of this brainwash??? 9 more days????? are u insane????
and if that was all,it would be good,but nooo,then i was told by some guy to look at the sparks needed for the 3rd tier of boons,LOL..220! 220???
dear god,ive grinded in games but this? this is just INSANE! who came up with this idea? who thought this was fun?? REALLY? FUN??

You can acquire sparks indirectly from opening lockboxes or from AH.
I had so many extra fomorian blood on my CW and TR that I had both of my first 2 boons the day I went to sharandar on my GWF. Why do you want to complete all new content in 2 days? The time restrictions we're put on the new content b/c of you 10 hour a day players that complete content in 3 days and then scream on the forum for new content again.
We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
mm,no...i want to complete the content while im still in my 30.s...is that too much to ask?
and look at the sparks needed for tier 3 of zhe boons:P
and thats SPARKS,not CRESTS.
We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
and if you had read my post you would see its not about the boons,its about the ability to unlock the malabog realm.,that i after 20 day grinding fest will unlock in 10 days.,with my 1st toon!
then they had in mind that i will be wanting to repeat that 3 more times,cause im iun dire need of FUN?
Yep...i will.
if u havent got anything meaningful to say,dont say it?
to the OP the weekly quest gives 50 sparks. yippy. I said the same thing as you the other day.
I don't see how thats possible as I unlock it tomorrow with 2 toons and I forget to do the dailies half the time. My GWF will have it open in 3-4 days cause he started later. I have 5 60's, yes it would suck to try and do sharandar on all of them together, that's why I'm doing it 1-2 at a time.
No it isn't fun, but you are rewarded for your grind with boons. I wish the content was like 10x more difficult so it required skill or teamwork and time instead of just time, then boons would be more scarce and those that had them would have the advantage. The only thing boons are doing now is wait 3 days and get free 500 GS so that I have to advertise even higher for groups else I get <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> players with inflated GS...
here it comes "OMG he's such a jerk! Elitist!"

precisely, 2 bloody months...and i remember some1 had said just the thig u wrote above (1-2 days bfre the expansion came)
but more i play it,more im convinced that is the hard truth.
Welcome to MMOs.
Casual "Give me free loot" MMOs like the current WoW has ruined the MMO industry. Just a few years ago players had to grind on the same mobs for days to gain 1 level or months in some MMOs. Players had to spend months farming the same dungeon every day to get the gear they wanted. Players had to grind mobs to farm gold to buy items on AH if the game even had one, otherwise had to trade with other players or farm their own.
MMO's these days are super casual and no longer cater to the hardcore grinder that grew up on the eastern MMOs.
If you think spending 30 minutes a day to quickly do 6 daily quests is a grind, you are sadly mistaken.
mm,nope..why? im glad u having fun m8:) i was too.,but trust me when i say,70 sparks short.,maybe 2 days went that i havent grinded.
2 arcane res. weeklys done,and that is the count on sparks in my case..
and GL grinding 220 sparks for T3 of boons:)
We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
soo,ur sayin "no torture like the medieval one"? lol...
sorry if im not finding logic in that. spent time is just that -spent time...be it 30mins,30 hours or 30 ddays...spent time.
7 day cooldown. It's a once a week repeatable.
Daily quests yield 10 feywild spares. But the WEEKLY quest yields 50 feywild sparks.
pay attention, and quit complaining if you don't understand the system.
-_-;
Oh you mean those MMO's that aren't around anymore. This is my first MMO. There is a reason for that. I actually don't mind grinding if there is a decent payoff, but saying "we added a ton of content" when you mean "we added a half hour of content you have to do over and over for months" doesn't cut it, IMHO.
and after that they neede to hit the brake and stop all to mouse steps? naah,i would be content if i could finish this content in 20-25 days wirth ALL toons,and then farm/grind something productive like dungeons..,ooops,thats not very productive anymore:P
So for the last three boons you need to grind sparks for 5.25 weeks. Forgive me if that sounds a little bit tedious.
lol,but when u look at it,it REALLY IS a BLOODY TON of content:)))
thank u for the count...i mind job less to do:)
Well, there's your problem then. There have been 3 arcane reserve events since this released. You missed one!
LOL learn your MMOs. Many MMO Franchisees are still going strong with many more players than NW. NW is a new and currently small MMO with only several hundred thousand active players.
naah,mybe i got the count wrong.,i mustve done 3. cause of all the time this went live there were 2 days i havent played (though logged in)
and the weekly quest doesnt go away..so ive done it for sure.
but then again u maybe right...
The entire gamut of dailies takes at most 30 - 45 minutes. Even for a casual player such as myself that is perfectly acceptable. I enjoy running these dailies more than i do the AD dailies. (hence i dont run them and earn AD other ways)
Heck the actual haul of gold and enchants make it worth running the dailies even if they didnt provide a means to more content or rewards.
I usually try to time my running of these during profession event as well to get a nice double dip on my time spent.
