  • Just to give another suggestion: if you are open to spending Zen, the blue Neverember Guard is a good tank companion. I have him on my cleric. For PVE questing he is pretty good, and at rank 25 with good gear you can get him to around 20,000 HP which means he survives longer in a fight. He does taunt but I actually think…
  • Same here, for probably about 3-4 weeks now. I have three characters: two 60's and a wizard at 53 (who has gained his last 12 or so levels strictly from invoking and Leadership tasks). I set them to 18-hour tasks whenever possible and I only check in once a day. The other thing I do each day is check on my one Foundry…
  • Hello friend. My first Foundry quest is up and I did try to give it some good story elements, while still being solo-friendly and staying at about the 20-minute mark. It's called Bandit's Legacy, short code NW-DCU88SMBQ. It's a few plays short of qualifying as a daily quest, so I'd appreciate any play-throughs. I'll make…
  • Thanks friend. I actually have sound FX on the two shard/altar thingies but I'm not sure I hear it in the live version. I tested a couple of sounds on the portals but did not think they really worked, but I will revisit that idea. I love the suggestion of having the camp NPC's walk away, I didn't know we could do that.…
  • Hi, I just played Part 1 and overall enjoyed it. I'm going to agree with pris23 that the undead hulks are a bit much; I was on a level 47 great weapon fighter, so for a level 60 that part might get annoying. Other than that, the combat balance feels perfect. I don't like foundry quests where every other mob has knockdown,…
  • Well I started this thread, and sometime during the day today (around the 26-hour mark give or take) my publish attempt failed. That's the fifth time. Because I am a HAMSTER I hit the damned "Publish" button again, but I won't even bother checking for a couple of days. I almost wish they would monetize the Foundry in some…
  • Thanks everyone for the feedback. Ronin, mind if I ask what the "weekly repeatable" bug is? I just started using the Foundry a couple of weeks ago and had no idea people were having such issues.
  • I understand that the only way to find new quests is to search on the Best tab, by the short code. You can't search them by name until they have a certain number of plays. You didn't specifically say you had tried that, so I mention it just in case. Are you sure it's published? I've been trying all weekend to publish my…
  • How often are you guys accessing the gateway? I tend to do it almost every work day at lunchtime (from my work PC) and I almost never have this issue. But at home, it may only be once a week, and I ALWAYS get the code prompt. So I'm thinking maybe it does it if you haven't used a certain computer for more than a few days?…
  • @Stebss, I'd just like to let you know that I played your quest the other day (before I saw this thread) and I really liked it. The final battle was really fun and creative. I'm currently trying (for about the sixth time) to publish my first Foundry mission; if it ever works, I will let you know. My handle is @Phaeryn65 if…
  • Hi friend. I agree with you, although I will say that we do have at least one group of friendly guards who have a mage with them. He's basically a fire mage who nukes whole groups of enemies, almost too quickly. :) I just used this group in my first work-in-progress; I believe it's one archer, the mage, and three melee…
  • I've been spending MY Saturday - almost all of it - trying to publish my first Foundry quest. Any idea how long it's supposed to take? It failed twice, and now has been on "Currently Publishing" for about 4 hours. I've already ADDED things to it that I thought of while twiddling my thumbs...so I'll have to publish again to…
  • Thanks for your concern. :) Both kids are "A" students, more than capable of spelling challenging words like "enough" and "you're". On summer break they hang out with the in-laws while we're at work, and a little gaming is perfectly fine with us. They still get plenty of human interaction. Thanks for the various replies…
  • That is exactly the kind of information I was hoping to find, thank you very much. I'll look into that machine or something similar. I appreciate your help.
  • Thank you Creezyjeezy for actually answering my original question. :) I appreciate the help.
  • Yes, anything that gives XP will still help level your companion at 60. I've been leveling mine by finishing quests I still have in the later zones, as well as from my Leadership tasks. Also your daily Invocation. Just have the companion out whenever you turn in quests, or invoke. They actually level fairly quickly since…
  • Another thing that irks me is, when we post an auction, the deposit comes out of our stored astral diamonds. When we place a bid on an item, the diamonds come out of our stash. In either case, the actual diamonds are moving from one place to another. This exploit allowed diamonds to be created out of thin air! They weren't…
  • What bothers me is that whenever they DO decide to add the stupid tomes, we'll all be level 60 and we'll have to grind to rank up the companions, which by that point we won't even need anymore anyway. My level 42 devoted cleric is just parked at a campfire in Ebon Hold, doing his leadership missions and daily…
  • I just read through this entire thread again (first discovered it during the beta weekends) looking for any kind of answer to this same question. I'm enjoying the game and I tend to be the one defending the F2P model to my friends, HOWEVER this one thing really irritates me and smells of a cash-grab mentality. How…
  • It is level 16, I did it on two different characters, once in beta weekend 2 and again in beta weekend 3. Also, the second time I made 16 while running Foundry quests, I had only just started the quests in the orc zone, but as soon as I dinged 16 I got the companion quest. So completing the zone is not a prerequisite.…
