Rivern warp? Fuckyeah.jpg

[Selamis]

I hope the new things being added and eventually the new zones, finally gets put into the auto translator. If they're low on space, get rid of some of the older terms that no one really uses. Or, maybe, have they been added already this update?

[S N K]

Wow skadi is so underwhelming. Woot for pet haste on hands?

Hey fuck you buddy. That makes me wonder if it's possible to force the pet to go over the haste cap now.

[Talint]

I'm not down on the Salvage armor as some others are.

Considering the sheer fucking fury that was original salvage, I'm glad to see this armor isn't uber. It's good, better than anything you can buy on the AH, but not "I have to throw myself at this event every day to try and break the random number generator" worth.

Oh not saying it isn't good more like saying it's the only thing I saw that caught my eye. That said if there is a gear pet haste cap it should have already been findable with atmas unless they count like gear for players but not for pets...

[Spira]

man this proto-waypoint thing is awesome.

btw i traded 1 lightning cluster = 400 kinetic units.

edit: also yay garuda no longer disappears after i use fleet wind and run along

[Tambor]

Seems like different crystals give different amounts. I'm getting 1000 units for the dark clusters I had on me.

[Kyreth]

So basically, our first real gift from Matsui as a build up to the expansion: Awesome new teleport system to bounce around older content.

+1 for the "new boss".

[NynJa]

Probably based on NPC sell value?
Dark/Light crystals are worth more to NPC

[grevenilvec75]

I'm at work so cant try it out, but what are the points used for? Unlocking the warp or using it? IE do i have to keep crystals stocked everytime i want to warp somewhere?

[Maurauc]

So far, 30 points to warp to any of Rabao, Ru'Lude, Mhaura, Selbina or Norg. (Not sure about the second/third tier yet.) You can trade the crystals now and the points are stored, like tabs from FoV/GoV

[Psion]

Using it. so far it seems like selbina and jeuno cost 30 units to tele to, which is like 1 lightning crystals worth. it's actually quite cheap to tele around. :D It might be based on distance from where you are (like confluxes) though, so can't say they're all that cheap until we unlock them all and test.

[Khiinroye]

You can store up to 50,000 points on the waypoints, so you don't have to carry around crystals.

[dasva]

Also you can store up to 50k points so yeah can use them for a long time if you get max

[Maurauc]

The cookies don't give any (visible) stats, as far as I can tell. Also no movement speed +

[Classikmage]

Anyone had any luck finding waypoints on the second quest, been widescanning all over La Thiene and haven't seen a thing.

[dasva]
