You poor thing.


there's rolling an alt and rolling an alt... I rolled an alt on Wayfinder years ago to pike on the marketplace bridge, like lots of the Vaulties during the Occupy Stormreach time. since it's a straight from Kortho, skipping the chain, alt it counts as rolling an alt.... and doing the skipped quests.

Well hey, turns out your alt is getting a free heroic + free epic ottos rock and 50 elixers of discovery.

Wish I had one now, the elixers would be worth a server transfer.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Looks like i have 7 toons on there. Been a while since I played on Wayfinder though as the "main" toon on that server is a Zeus build.

Turns out a fresh off the boat bladeforged can handle elite ravenloft solo with the starter gear and no ship buffs. And not being able to cast 3rd or 4th level spells due to insufficient wisdom.  Angry

See the third bullet point.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

These items will be automatically granted in-game in the near future. We will announce when that distribution has taken place.


Well, son of a bitch, I have a character on Gayfinder back from when cross server card trading was a thing. Yes sir, that was THE Anniversary celebration... There was no other.

Why the hell would you bother with cross server trading on the cards when they were so easy to mass produce? I was literally duping cards and making tornado potions while following my "Tornado Blitz" TR partners through quests.

Because not all of us knew about the mass producing method right at the beginning of the event?

Ah, I almost remember like it was yesterday. What was his name who released the method publicly? SomeGuyOnTheVault? Something like that.

Don't worry, they're not doing "supa secret" experiments on other servers.

Wayfinder was their beta server and it failed miserably.

lol, I forgot all about that account.  I should dig around and see if I can find the log in info.  (I don't think it was "SomeGuyOnTheVault", I don't like to make long complicated names)

What, you're saying that was you?

I guess it's possible, everyone here is really just Strake, talking to himself with all of his socks. (Including me, Sock #422)

Nah, probably wasn't me.  It was that other dude.  If you or somebody else can find out the Vault post or user name, there's a chance he/she/it might make an appearance again, just to say hi.

I remember now, that dude made a post then deleted it.  I never did see what was in that post.  He might have sent a few PM's around as well, I don't know. Sure didn't send one to me, I know that.

Perhaps after the devs have gone to sleep I will make mention of greater things.  Nice of them to lay off half their staff and then only have customer service a few hours a day, isn't it?

Some Guy Here On The Boards! That was his name... Now, if I can just find which one he posted publicly... Unless it was deleted.

At least, I'm fairly certain it was him who posted something.


EDIT:
Found it! Cheesy

http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1403120598

He did delete it, but yeah, that was one of the events I was around for... Ah, fun times.

Might have been different “events”. The card dupe process given by SuckitTurbune was in March, which also happens to be when the card event started. Someguy’s post you linked was 3 months later. Either way, cool when people share and care, esp if they share with me  Wink
