I was wondering the same thing. I noticed that we could create a Dragon Queen's Key after only completing "Prevent Tiamat's Return" once, so I wasn't sure what was the point of completing that task 5 times.
There are other MMOs where players can share the quest drops/nodes. Even a game like Destiny has it implemented where players can share the quest drops to prevent ninja abuse. This NW Fetch quest is probably more annoying than the pre-patch lightning jars quest and that's saying something.
I have a new 8GB Windows 8.1 ASUS N550JK laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M (2GB Video RAM) and the latest drivers. If I go into the game menu and change the display settings to Fullscreen from a different mode (e.g. windowed mode etc.), it crashes the game with the message: "Fatal Error: Direct3D driver returned error…
I think the Monsters on Ice event seems to favour the CWs the most. On my wiz, I had a score of 513 out of 12 people playing and the next highest was like 400.
Some good non-mmo games that I've been playing recently: Card Hunter (good f2p card game that runs in a browser. It's like tabletop D&D crossed with Magic the Gathering) Hearthstone (Blizzard's take on the digital CCG genre)
Never had problems queuing up and completing the daily dungeons/skirmishes when I was levelling my toons (only the Gray Wolf dungeon was tricky to complete). On my 2nd toon, I didn't even bother doing the normal quests (apart from the zones that gave you the free bags) and just levelled up that toon by doing daily…
Just get the tank to grab aggro from the adds so that you don't get interrupted. Rogues etc. can easily solo dps the bosses so there's no real need for the tanks to be on them when they can help with adds.
After getting a skeleton companion for 2 toons, I have to say that I did not enjoy the event. It was meant to be fun, but the amount of tokens needed for one companion was too much and made the event too grindy, a real chore and not fun to do at all. The method of handing in the charms just exacerbated the already grindy…
PRO: Like the presentation of the event. It looks great. CON: Feel like 600 charms for the companion is a bit much. I can see players with not much free time or with many alts getting burned on this. Also, handing in the charms one at a time and needing to go to different NPCs can get incredibly tedious.
So I took a gamble and decided to risk getting 5 boxes. Yolo, right ? As I opened the 3rd box and still got no ADs (just 2x pants and cloak), I was feeling like I made a big mistake. Stopped opening the chests and opened a few purses instead. After a while, I went back to the last 2 chests and thankfully got ADs from both…
Doing the skirmishes/dungeons as you level will be much more interesting/challenging and make you learn your class far better than facerolling easy solo content with a party. The queue system (you can use the /lfg channel to make a full group before queuing up) will ensure that no one in your group is too high a level for…
Yeah, my natural instinct is that it will be safer to open the purses instead of gambling on much fewer chests. I too don't have much faith in RNG, especially the one they use in this game, lol.
I also had problems getting the T2 helm to drop compared to the other T2 set items, even though I had more completions in SP than in the other T2 dungeons. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?492971-Spellplague-T2-Head-drop-rate-seems-really-low-compared-to-other-instances After I made the post about it, I ran…
When I Levelled up my alt cleric to 60, I was mainly just doing daily skirmishes/dungeons/foundries (for foundries I stopped once the daily required more than 2) as well as Invocation and Leadership tasks. I did minimal questing. In fact, the only quest zones I did were the ones that gave you the free bags for the…
Yeah, they're supposed to be the same drop rates, but I've had way more completions in SP than the other instances and I've still not seen a T2 helm drop, whereas I got the other T2 set items from the other instances with far less completions.
I wasn't bothered if I got a wolf or not, so didn't play the CTA skirmish that much. Today, I was just trying to get some ADs from the regularly scheduled Skirmish event. Missed completion by a couple of minutes so no ADs, but did get a wolf from the chest. Turned out that it was actually the last CTA event that I could…
I'm talking about tanks who are not interested in doing anything other than tanking the boss. If they're really that interested in only tanking/dpsing the boss, just roll a rogue, lol.
