well, before I could try any of those changes, I logged in this morning and it works fine now! weird

just downloaded the rof2 game yesterday and updated everything.  Also clicked off all buffs/songs

coming back after a 6ish year break, my warrior runs at 40 run speed instead of the 255ish (I forget exact number) not ducking, not walking, not overweight. When I walk, I dont move, when I duck, I also cannot move.  My other chars run at normal speeds.

I know I haven't been around much at all the past 6? months or so.  Gnomi and myself got burnt out on all the farming.  Yea, my warrior got hooked up, thats it.  I had a good tank to help with all the farming.  It took months between 2 people to farm enough essences for UW for 1 person, since gnomi was more of the farmer, we decided he could have them.  We got him to about UW4?  Since everyone has between 3-30 boxes, seems like a scaling zone would be amazing?  LDON scaled based on levels and hard/normal right?  would it be too hard to use that system for the zone?

There is a difference between hard and a time sink.  Just because I can clear the whole zone of qvic in 1 pull but get .5 essences doesnt make it hard.  It makes it extremely unrewarding.  yay, I killed the whole game once! so what? now you gotta do it 100 more times for that character and another 101 times for all your other characters...  if you can kill the content you are in without help, and quickly, it does not make it hard.  it makes it extremely boring clearing the entire zone 10000's of times for 1 drop that is like 1% chance of dropping.  First breaking into content yeah, thats hard; however, as I said before, farming that 1 item that has an extremely low drop rate is not.

I haven't been on much at all lately since probably the last scheduled double loot weekend, but I would like to point out all the grinding.  I received a lot of help in the begining yeah, but as far as the grinding part, I did 95% of it by myself.  It is required on the server, without a doubt, but the amount of grinding has burnt me out.  An explanation to why I have been gone.  After assisting gnomi with his UW's and attempting to get uc's I needed a break.  I don't know how people farm them so fast but I've spent month's farming pieces for UC's and I still only have 1.  I've been sitting at 48 oracle on my 2nd for about 3 weeks now because the v2 just is not dropping.  Now, I'm not saying get rid of the farming and grinding but I am saying maybe the amount of farming is a bit way excessive?

I'm not sure on the instance cost, but it seems like the plat drop rate in higher tiers needs to be increased 1000% or more just to pay for them, so yeah, adjusting the cost would work as well as increasing the pp the higher tiered you are..

Just wondering what the plan is for donations.  Is the plan to keep them offline for a while?  If that's the case can we look at instance costs/some way to get the FWP as it seems somewhat essential.

What do you think people do who cannot afford a FWP? I didn't know that it was necessary to get that to play...

so its intended for melee dps to scale with sorc charm upgrades but not mages?  I've uc'd 1 char and ALMOST my 2nd  I avg about 1-2 upgrades every 3rd clear of tofs 2-5 (each floor). 

Completed the task, said it completed and nothing else happened, no blood token.  this was the illsalin quest. 10 alkari, exobeasts illthidae, illthid, illthocyte, slarg, nti.  I noticed that the illthid are spelled incorrectly though, its illithid... but when I killed them, it still gave me credit.

it is. get uc's

if that was for me, no, its not, the pet dmg does not scale with the other charms, only uc.  All my dps that has rank 50 sorc is much more dps than a mage rank 50 sorc.

Can we at least get sorc charm to scale with pet damage?  I'd like my mage to be at least as useful as my other dps with lvl 50 sorc charms...

I have noticed about every other clear in t5 I do not get the random boss spawn in the middle.  I kill the triggers first always, spawn their bosses, kill them, then kill everything in the zone, killing the bracer mobs as they spawn.  I haven't changed anything between clears yet sometimes I get the random and sometimes I don't and it think its a bit more like 75% of the time I do not get the random boss at the end.  I finish the clears long before re spawns as well.  I never leave the instance, no wipe, no despawn.  I'm not sure what else it could be.
