    So young :cry: , sad to see it go.

    So what, we're going to get a laggy @#$ raid with ridiculous requirements next?
  • empalasempalas Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 804 Arc User
    You all do realize last has different meanings. It was the last expansion...that doesn't mean its the last expansion ever.
  • qexoticqexotic Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 841 Arc User
    Well, I have only one highly speculative question to ask about this forthcoming release: exactly how much Everfrost Resistance, presumably requiring several pieces of fully empowered FBI-sourced Relic Armour, will we need to be allowed into the could-be-Tiamat-like final confrontation with the Storm King to retrieve the Ring of Winter ?
  • empalasempalas Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 804 Arc User
    So I guess this means they are getting into a two mod per year mode...where each mod has an update three months after release. Of course I wondered why the campaign didn't actually stop at the top and seemed to go up and figured it was something like this...sort of like rise of tiamat after tyranny of dragons.

    If a less hectic release schedule allows them to make a better product, I am all for it.

    People having trouble with the meaning of "last", in this context it means "most recent".

    So, if that's the case, then last year was the last and this year does not exist. I knew I was in a timeless paradox and you all were figments of my imagination. This is my last post.

    Can't wait till next year to get away from this empowerment stuff, so it can go the way of black ice gear. Well at least black ice gear was good looking.
  • daaksanirdaaksanir Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 30 Arc User
    As much as I love seeing new stuff, last mod was horrible. The farming of the HE is painful, lousy rewards for hours spend. While I am not among the hardcore players, I have done more than 30 encounters (still no boots), some had no rewards at all, many (especially initially) failed cause less than adequate geared players tried to do these rather harsh encounters. All to get gear, that no one really wants, but need to enter FBI. So far the only good thing has been the story and interactions with the heroes. I am hoping (likely in vain) that future patches will fix some of these issues. They are more tuning problems, than actual game issues.

    Let the truth be known. The grind is what killed Mako. This is why Knox sits in PE all day. He knows better.

    I would almost hazard a guess we haven't seen the end of Makos.

    I bet the new update is a new raid like tiamat or demogorgon, but now you have to have EF gear to resist the frost damage like in demogorgon we used the drow gear, just watch.

    This Mod 10 is one of the worst mods in this game.

    I just skipped FBI, just gonna get the boons, im 2.8k IL, i have better things to buy for power than get my IL up with "air", just to do a dungeon that is pure excrement and gear that is a total waste of time.
    This Mod is, again, a good example how not to do content.

    And why did they introduce "Black Ice 2.0: return of the grind" ???.

    And, LOL, EF gear the best in game, gimme a break, the cost of keeping the empowerment up does not come even close to the gains, and doing FBI to get better gear to faster run FBI is hamster.

    With what sane logic do you run content only to get gear for that content, as far as i know we can enter FBI with the resistance we get from the boons, SKT vendor items and elixirs?????

    I would understand if the 2 bosses were separate from FBI and we had to grind them first to gain better gear to defeat the boss.

    But as it stands its a swamp of wasted time, that u can use more wisely, than grinding voninblod and running the crappy FBI and use the crappy EF gear set, which is a total hamster.

    Im just waiting for the old dungeons to come back, this new content seems to be a waste of time on most part.

    Now that Mimic is in charge maybe we actually start seeing some improvements after this Mod of Dullness.
  • fastrean1fastrean1 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 25 Arc User
    so the second part of mod 10 is coming...hmm...i still haven't run FBI yet even my main already got enough Everfrost Resistance to earn a entry ticket :/

    So it seems it's already on preview. There's a 3.5GB patch, but it the game client crashes every time during the log in screen with the cryptic logo. Brilliant work apparently!

    Preferably ones without "special" stat/campaign gating.

    Could @strumslinger or another official comment on the meaning of "last" in this context. It could've meant the last expansion we've had--if it were already out.... Latest would have made more sense, unless of course....

    November? Well.. at least this will give people that think SKT and FBI is a waste of time some time to catch up.. BUT.. it robs some rewards from those who have been diligently working to stay up to date on content.. -.-

    Ok.. so.. The new tasks are going to require more Reputation.. but you guys are going to Stop our ability to get Reputation for a month, once we get 500 Rep?? Is that how it will work? Or is it not capped at 500?

    LOL! Also, was I the only one who thought "Ok, I'll see you at the campfire when you respawn man." :tongue:

    As for the content I'm quite interested to see if will be inclusive or elitist. I'll say now that I'm not looking forward to any more fishing. They should really rename that ocean to the sea of boots.

    So.. A sea of moving ice. Is there an EF requirement? Tell me now so I don't get my hopes up. The gear isn't something I need for anything else and the grind is insanity.. the game is easy enough as it is without this new 'uber' grindtastic gear.
