Really nice rolls. I want to say that Ill never fill up my T4 bags, but I have barely any perks that increase yield. Ive got 3 tier 4 bags with extra pockets and the difference would be roughly 360 extra weight to do that grind all over again for Tier 5. Only one of them has luck, but man.. Tier 5 bags is a DEEP grind to get those rolls again.
You will absolutely fill them. Chest runs in Shattered Mountain will fill up 1000 weight in no time, and everyone moves so fast that if you don't have the weight, you have to constantly stop to salvage your weight down. Same with grinding certain tradeskills. I was tossing 4k wyrdwood at a time earlier just because I didn't have the weight and wanted to stay where I was rather than take it back to town.

Before I got these two bags I was still using a t3 green and the gator bag quest reward from Ebon (great bag by the way, if any of you don't know about it and want a free, easy 300+ weight bag. I advise people to skip t3/t4 and go straight to a really good t5 you'll keep forever, that way you don't waste the in between bags. Although I guess they are getting pretty cheap to where you could afford to.

Watched Sequisha rapier solo 10-15 level 60 elites last night at once. Melt them too, not like how you'd imagine a fire/ice would aoe 15 mobs but like a hot knife through butter. Was so insane and it looked so fun. Basically Flurry gets reduced cd each time it hits, so if you do it to 4+ mobs, it insta refreshes, then you stack that with a trait that gives a huge leech to flurry and you use Riposte to avoid damage and stun.

Spear and I believe Great Axe have the same thing. The "on hit of ____" shit applies EACH time a mob is his. So you can multi pull with a spear, sweep them, poke them all twice and insta refresh sweep. Then sweep again, vault kick, and sweep is up again. It's probably something that needs to be looked at, but for some builds it makes fighting 1vMany in PVE tolerable. Spear especially would be really fucking bad without it.

So does buying stuff increase your drop item level? I feel like it has to since otherwise you'd never be able to get jewelry up, but at the same time, like people said, in a month tons of 600 stuff will be for sale for like 25 gold because they really fucked up the way items work in this game.

And then people would instantly be capped out. The top people would have crafted stuff likely, but it kind of dicks up everything.

No. We just had this conversation a page back for reference. I purchased up to 540 average item level from the market. Ive been at it all day, and Im just now getting 510 to drop. No getting around this grind. BUT - best believe if I saw a nice 600 piece that I could afford, I would probably get it lol.

What does great axe have that is similar? I can't think of anything. I looked at spear and I see the cooldown reduction and it looks good, but it doesn't seem? to be like instant cd the way flurry is. Still fun tho. I'm now 20 Great Axe - 20 Hatchet - 20 Lifestaff - 20 Fire - 20 Ice. Now working on Rapier/Spear. But it looks like Fire/ice will be my main build since that's what we need in wars other than life/greataxe, but I can't get the hang of healing in this game and do poorly, so fire/ice it is. But they are super fun, so whatever.

What makes the hatchet so fucking op is the talent that makes you do something like 10% more damage for every enemy within 5 meters. Walk into camp pull a bunch together by throwing the axe and mow them down like a machine.

Well this sucks. Apparently my game code was revoked due to a requested refund which did not happen. I bought it through Amazon and used the code they sent me on steam. Apparently this has happened to a bunch of people too. Not sure what if anything I can do about it. I checked my amazon account and still have the purchase showing with no such refund.
Just came across this article and thought you might want to follow up on it.

Well, the loot system is essentially identical to Vermentide so if it works like that system did, it actually has nothing to do with what you're wearing and is simply based off of your average drop gs. So if you've found say 500, you'll now be able to find say, up to 505 or whatever the + potential is(assuming you're in an area capable of dropping that high). So if you find 502 you can now find 507 etc unless you're in a place like Shipyard which the cap appears to be 500 and I'm sure that every spot except the ultra high end stuff is capped.

Yeah areas are capped or better yet the lv of monster sets cap I think. I started seeing 515 drop off of lv60 nameds in Ebonscale, but thats it. I guess the higher shit you find your average goes up but the bottom is always 500 once your 60, well bottom for fighting lv 60+ shit. Obv iof you go to a lvl 40 zone shit there will drop lower. But the higher you climb, say you find a 520 next, 530..etc..the drops now are 500-520, 500-530 and so on. So the higher you get the worse the chance of finding higher shit because the range ever increases. But im sure there is some weight behind it too. Named (curated) items always drop at set GS too. So they way they have it set up is the longer you play in those high lv zones the better chances of finding good shit.... Im sure the lv61+ mobs have their own limits based on lv, and Im sure the elite 60+ shit has their own limits too.

So its based on your DROPPED GS not by what you are wearing.

Also when you complete all quest lines in Great Cleve, Endengrove and Shattered mountain, this will open up quests to get your 580 weapons, whichever weapons you have leveled to lv20. And they are a grind. Basically they are like piece quests, go fetch the handle for this fire staff, so they have you going into those lv60+ elite places all over to kill 50 mobs and search chests. So im sure as more people level up these places will be easy to group up for, but now? shit probably no one even knows about them.


This is from beta but it still holds true...

At least the patch changes show they are listening a bit, even if the bot defense isn't ideal, and I'm now encumbered by too many refining items.

Also, there's now a mini map add on, shows chests, resources etc. Who knows what is bannable these days though:

Whats the secret to getting this to work? I downloaded it, but the map is covered with a warning about " Error Cant detect coordinates, Go to settings > visuals > turn on FPS . Ive done that, it it makes no difference what so ever. The minimap loads on my screen, but does nothing at all and has that warning covering the entire thing.

Weird mine worked by turning the fps thing on right away. I know you have to have overwolf running in the back ground so check that. I start the game with the overwolf icon.

Just hit 60 tonight and tried to do an elite quest killing the dude in the arena in Edengrove. Got wrecked lol. Pretty cool fight but you definitely need real solid dps for it. Ended up doing level 62 elite dungeon with the group afterwards and was pretty happy with it overall. The bears absolutely wreck face and you can't mess around with them. The end game seems pretty good actually. It seems like they want you to have specific gear sets for each region so if you say want to farm the super high end Edengrove stuff you need angry earth bonus dmg/resists and blight cure pots. So far so good.

This gear set looks sick. I've gotten a bunch of compliments on it. It's called shrouded intent and is pure dex.

Which one? Lazarus or Genesis? Sounds like Genesis. I'm not necessarily afraid of the dungeons, but afraid that if I fail and its my key - then I'm fucked till someone else wants to run it.

You cant make the attunement orbs to repeat the dungeon currently because level 65 portals are unable to be closed. Some people are theorizing that its cause you still have the tier 3 and tier 4 staff that its only picking up one of those? But regardless of why, you just cant close them so you never get the rewards. I believe you can get them still, but it would take you grinding out the level 55 portals for quite a while and there just isnt enough areas for 55 portals to even do that. Scanning around the map right now at 5am, and every province has full portals and the only area that has level 55 portals is at the very bottom of Cutlass Keys. Of ALL the places that should have level 55 portals instead of level 65 portals, Cutlass Keys has them. 45's and 65's are just EVERYWHERE and its just silly that its setup that way.

Both Vingolf/Cov EF sieges have been fun, taking it from purple and then defending it from green last night. It came down to the wire with a battle for the keep CP in all out chaos but we were able to hang on.

The blob performance still sucks though - hoping they can fix that. It’s really weird how the game runs otherwise great and you can have small fights near and around the zerg with no issues. Most games when performance sucks, it sucks everywhere.

I've really fucking had enough. Now we are losing some of the best crafting gathering spots in the game because they are being covered with t4/t5 corruption. Nodes within the area disappear while corruption is up. 3 separate times today I have tried to go to one of my favorite spots for iron, and then silk, and then orichalum, only to find that there are now t4 or t5 corruptions there and GUESS WHAT? You can't clear it because it is bugged and STILL hasn't been fixed. It's so bad it's spreading into places like Everfall, and newbs can't even mine iron there.

What a fucking joke and embarassment.

The 55's are buggy as fuck too. I've only seen one closed once (in MD).

That's why I mentioned it the other day. It's almost impossible to run end game dungeons right now because the portals are broken. I've ran a dozen hours of portals and still don't have enough for a key.
