Rift: Random Complaint Thread

[Senji]

Random complaint: Can't even get enough people on in my guild to do expert rifts.

Any Defiant guilds active at PST times looking for more? D:

I am guardian, but on Asphodel I know that there are a couple good defiant guilds looking for a few members.

http://paragona.guildlaunch.com/ is one.

Haha, coincidentally I found their thread on the official forums (which I normally try to avoid) a couple of hours ago and sent the leader a PM regarding their play times. Much appreciate the thought though, seems like a good guild.

Still no melee daggers off Alsbeth. The 2 we got off Greenscale no longer play. All our rogues are getting annoyed.

One of our Warriors just got the dagger off Greenscale. I think one of our more veteran rogues wasn't too happy about that , but DKP is DKP. We've recently been cursed with the staff-virus. First 5 kills on Alsbeth = 5 staffs, during that streak we also got 2 more Genesis Pylon. Only now have we gotten a different legendary lol.

[Alderaan]

We just got our 5th bow off Greenscale last night and only 2 of us actually play ranger. There's going to be major rage if Alsbeth decides to drop her bow before a dagger. I guess it doesn't mean that much since HK is close but we would love that extra dps right out the gate obviously.

So in today's hotfix they are reducing the rate of treasure maps drop. All fine and dandy except I have NEVER seen one drop. I haven't closed too many rifts since (probably bout 30ish) but when I see others get 2-3 in a row, makes me want to /wrist

[Raen Ryong]

I get them all of the time and got about 6 from a zone invasion last night :X most of the time they only drop 25 Rune King Seals.

[Alderaan]

We had an Invasion in Stillmoor a few weeks ago and talked everyone into not closing any rifts so we could farm invasions. I walked away with 13 treasure maps in 2 hours. Been sitting on like 5k seals waiting for stuff to be unlocked on the NPC.

[Melena]

Yea, I need that stupid sigil since we all suspect water resist will be important in hammerknell

[AidenCarby]

Over 3k seals, and no achievement lol.

[nekura]

Did you trade any between characters? I don't think it'll work if you do that.

[Alderaan]

So i started my climb up the pvp ranks in anticipation of 1.4 and 1.5. Let me first state that i loved pvp pre-50. Shit is so annoying now constantly being put up against rank 6 premades. Not sure how Trion thought this would be a good idea. It creates long queues for everyone when people don't even want to start pvp'ing because of the disparity and how well healing stacks with valor.

What build do you use for PvP? I've found the "Nightman" build to be the most effective out of all the ones I've tried. And I've tried pretty much everything.

[Alderaan]

Well depends which WF. I refuse to do Whitefall because Defiant are horrible at running crystals and Black Garden is a zerg fest. For Codex i like the 51Sin or 44NB so i can solo hold points. For Port i just run 44MM.

What i really need is a separate 5 soul slots for PVP specs.

[Zerocool]

I usually run this most of the time. I have a few other PvP builds, but I've found this to be most effective. Basically plays like a Marksman, except you have Scourge of Darkness up most of the time for better sustained damage and Fell Blades for the 50% heal debuff. Plus the ranged sap, silence opener from stealth or Dark Malady for the 20% extra damage. Pretty much most of the goodies NB gets but with the safety of being able to stay at 30m range most of the time. But yeah, without Fell Blades, healing in PvP is pretty ridiculous. Guess we'll see how it is after 1.4, but for now it's hard to take down healers without healing debuffs. Even then some healers are still pretty ridiculous though.

[Alderaan]

Had one of our clerics hold 10 people off in Codex the other day and he was rank 1. Most of that was due to no healing debuffs but still, crazy.

Went achievement farming with some friends from a raid guild last night; while going for Rapid Assault in Iron Tombs, our Rogue got ported to the Three Kings room after we killed Ragnoth and had to make the run back as we cleared the two pulls before Totek. Even despite that, according to our parses, from time of first combat we took less than 25 minutes but still no achievement. It'll be easy to do again, but gr!

Also, we didn't get the achievement for avoiding other people's Torture effect on the Eliam fight in Runic Descent. Someone in our group mentioned that the actual criteria differs from what's listed in the achievement -- has anyone gotten this achievement and can confirm that?

[Crizto]

That RD achievement is messed up. The first time I had my group try and do it, I swear we did it perfectly (not like it's difficult) and we didn't get it. Next attempt at it, I saw no difference in what we did and we got the achievement. I don't know what to tell you because I only have two runs that I remember.

[nekura]

Also, fuck Trion for putting one of the Death Idols before that nasty pull right before the Warden boss in RD. It cracks me up that they did it, but fuck. D:

[sruon]

random complaint: this cleric I keep getting grouped up with on Asphodel - Defiant that can't heal at all.
