Cool cool now when are we going to get that Behemoth Rewards page up and running?

[centurion]

hmm now to find this place lol

[BigGrim]

From the Dahon Plains (Dry Basin).

[Phyrexia]

Dahon Plains (Dry Basin) require lvl 253, so where to start the new content now?!

[BigGrim]

You ended the previous content at the Life Pod on the Vanguard. Try there.

[Removed94]

It's great to see 10 levels and 6 missions, can't wait to see where the story goes next.

Any news on new skills? Still waiting on the coders?

[Phyrexia]

You ended the previous content at the Life Pod on the Vanguard. Try there.

oops, sorry. Was puzzled by your previous post about the lvl 253 area, I was looking in the Dahon plain area :-) Thanks

Heh heh, nae bother.

[HaruHaru]

So BigGrim any plans on releasing the Behemoth rewards page soon?

[acidic]

or more importantly, what up with no new 250 buffs?

[BigGrim]

Obviously, I want both. Please provide Feedback on Content.

[EdTheHead]

Where are the sector maps?
rather odd 6 missions and yet 254 & 255 nothing but leveling up?
with the 253 mission fairly easy you could be leveling for almost 3 levels.


"Hunter of the Wastes" mission brought up that we built the Phantom Beamer to be allowed access into Tar Thal and search the Dungeons for the lost Dahon and yet i know a few that never built it.
Could you address the issues with the Rite of the Warrior mission, 1. Mission drop in Tar Thal Gate not used in any mission (don't know the name but item is green), 2. Phantom Beamer not tagged a mission item but yet uses 2 mission items to complete it. 3. Phantom Beamer to be used to gain access into Tar Thal and many passed without making one.

Hunter of the Wastes : After stretching you legs,

[centurion]

figured it would be bit of soylent green type storyline.

overall, strange content. definitely levelling is taking more energy. almost 3k/lvl. and it does get bit tedious to burn through it even using 4x intensifier. and we have some that was strictly lvling areas right in the middle of the content making it feel bit long there. I was hoping for addon/weapon set, but ended up with standard fair. I think zaelin/forn artwork this time on the elite set. back to 2elite/10 min, but seems easier drop. wimpy elite compared to what we've seen recently. lvl 190 set is still going strong though. and is still the best levelling set.


lot of interesting common items. (att based) decent armor based champ drop.

there was lot of walking designed into the map. and missions were definitely much simpler and cheaper to do. overall, decent effort.

[rowbeth]

I must say that I find the continual linking of quests to previous elite quests to detract from my enjoyment of this game, so it was extremely frustrating to discover the 249 mission has to be completed before the 252 mission can be. I can't see the point in placing major barriers to progression like this, as all it does is force people to become parts of large factions (so that forming groups is easy). This is particularly true when multiple elite kills are needed.

[centurion]

some of the longer more painful elite missions are "gateway" missions and they are required to continue. we should have figured that out by now. at least these can be solo'd with right gear. but do feel sorry for some in smaller factions without knowledge, gear or groups.

[rowbeth]

knowledge and gear aren't the problem.

Unless by gear you include the upgrade level - but the problem with upgrades is the lack of a player base. There are not enough players coming up behind the EOC players for me to be able to sell forged items once I've finished with them. Hence any FCs put into forging are FCs spent. Without knowing whether such items will last 50 levels or 5 - or without having a big faction to make use of the items after me - that is an investment in a low priority game (no need to revamp lots of forum discussion from the weekend) that I'm not prepared to make.

I guess I could always change class - MS would make most of those elites soloable, but a pressure to turn every solo or small-guild player into a purist doesn't seem like good game design to me.
