Personally, I still would like to see the sales numbers on Otto's boxes from before and after they fixed stone recycling.

From anecdotal data, courtesy of general chatting, once you couldn't recycle the stones...people stopped buying them.

Nah that would increase revenue. Also they should maybe make a stone 1mil, 2mil, 3mil and charge various prices.. ie 1 to get from say lvl 1 to cap, lvl 7 to cap and lvl 15 to cap. I don't give a shit about OMG it's an easy button. If people are spending money on the game and keeping the doors open who gives a shit. I hate heroics since I've played them to death the last 9 years.. and the thought of running it again makes me sick. (I still do it but hate it) Smiley

Yes, you are so right. Can we call this a positive side effect of Turby-lurkers in the Vault?

And for those of you who don't believe in santa? that fucker is on your roof right now.

just to get confirmation, as I never bothered with the boxes until now... but right now it has some appeal, and I have 5KTP that sits idle...

If you use a box at lvl 7 with a Excellent I elixir  and the Guild Ship Shrine running it takes you up to almost 20, right ? or did they cap the thing and you are stuck at 15...

Fuck. Dropbears need different bait.

Did you eat my Santa? Is that why I've never caught one? That's frustrating.

The new Otto's give 2m XP flat, no min level, so you can use from 1st level.
They are boosted by Experience elixir (up to 50%), VIP (10%), Guild ship (5%) and Mantle (5%).
So you can get up to 3.4M XP from an Otto's.
[Edit - checked tables] it will get a first lifer from 1 to 20, and a 2nd lifer from 1 to 20 and a 3rd lifer to lvl 18, rank 4 with 400k XP to reach 20.

Try to get a sovereign mate - the boost is worth it.

Why the hell do I bother myself with running fucking quests ? ( none of my character is a third lifer... I'm an Altaholic, not a TRholic )

50% XP pot is what I meant when I put Excellent... I wasn't certain of the name.

Awesome - get yourself a 20 Warlock in 5 mins or bypass Warlock for a PL.

Alts are fun. TR too much, and you wind up with an even worse problem with power creep, imo.

As a VIP you get 3,4 mill. So on a thirdlifer you need to get 400k somewhere else. Now is the time to do it on Ghallanda, the 10% XP bonus ads a bit to 3,4.

Hey Draga,

What's the story about 10% extra XP on G-land?
I didn't see anything mentioned about that?

Thanks

I think it's only 5% and double remnant drop and something...
somebody quoted it in the main forum, in yesterday's downtime thread when I asked when Turbine was going to do a move for the G-Land Crashathon.
It seems the move includes 5 or 10% bonus, double remnant drop and one or two more shitty things... a Few years ago we would have had 100 to 250 TP for the pain...
nowadays we just get weak sauce.

It's not up on a splash screen or anything prominent that I have seen?
Interesting - thought they might make it a message when logging into G-land.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

I was wondering when this would happen.  Release Warlock, sell some stones.  Makes great sense.  I'm sure more of the LR 20 hearts will be on sale soon.  I used one of those to switch one of my toons to a 20 Warlock.  Lots of fun!  I'll TR and play it through levels some.  The PL is decent and worth getting, imo.

Combined with the completionist, the first life is definitely worth it.  It beats a lot of the others.

With 3 PL's it is +9.  On a toon that doesn't typically have a ton of MRR at cap, that can be helpful.  On a toon that already has a bunch of MRR, it is nominal.  I won't get it on every toon.

The fact that the class is fun to play also reduces the pain of getting it, which is also a factor.
