Vengeance

v1.49

Hmmm... where to start? New spell animations... well, I'm not too impressed. Grouped with a Sorceress, and her mezz now spawns little looney-toons "Zzzz"'s over the heads of her targets - kinda goofy, IMHO. As a Friar, I miss the old "Christmas Tree" animation for my Vigor shout - but I guess I'll get used to the new one.

Is it just me, or is it high f*@king time they fixed the disappearing buff icon bug? Either that, or make the Friar self-only buffs last a whole helluva lot longer, so I don't have to recast after every fight just to be sure.

Darkness Falls... well, it's a dungeon. With high ceilings. And purple mist. Spooky, but also kind of tacky - like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Didn't get much deeper than a few levels down, but the first few levels are very... similar looking. The only way I'd know to find my way back to the entrance is to head towards lesser-conning mobs.

There's a lot of BAF mobs and swarming mobs in there. I never got into trouble, but the deepest I made it were a bunch of pansy blues.

When I was grouped with Ross and Rush we hit what is probably the "bottom" of the dungeon, a four way intersection, three ways leading to the other realms (presumably) and one way leading up to harder mobs.

I saw a few moor-boogey type purples in that direction.

In about a half hour I got 20 amethyst tokens. Thank god they stack. I haven't gone shopping yet, but if there are any low level folks who have their eye set on something let me know, I can farm these tokens lickety split.

I think the new mezz animation is funny as hell. At least I got a good chuckle the first time I got mezzed.

Omg guys.. Darkness falls is an amazingly cool dungeon, you just have to go farther down.. down past the SHredders (boogies) harder mobs start to appear like Spiders, Marhs and Succubuses. afther down you started getting the named demons which drop an insane amount of Diamond seals and the lowest point in the dungeon is the Umbral hulk room.

I went down there this morning with 14 other people.. we wreaked havoc... the exp was a constats 40million (for a lv 46) a kill.. lets just say in no time i was able to get my Avernal Malison Longsword..

My biggest criticism with the dungeon is that it doesent really pay for ppl to go all the way down.. you can get diamond seals farther up anyways, you dont have to go fight the tougha** mobs to get diamonds..

ohh and BTW, there ARE drops in the lower regions of the dungeon.. REAL goodies too ;).. So far ive loved Darkness Falls and i think we could get a great hunting group going

Well I have Tydd logged out there so I can play no matter who owns the portal.  Perhaps we can get a group going this weekend?

Sweet!!! Count me in...Oh, wait...

I got down to the tougher parts yesterday. It's pretty cool. Died a couple of times; xp was a wash. Got 10 diamond tokens in roughly 2 hours, but others in my group did better, I think. You know how lucky I am with the levelling and such.

The cook room is pretty good for the sapphire seals. There's nothing on the diamond list I particularly yearn for, but the sapphire list has a sweet jewel of arms, +2 to all weapon skills (incl. 2handed) that I need another 9 sapphires for. I think I can solo sapphire mobs with some risk, duo them with low risk.

The thought that finally occurred to me about DF is...RvR should have been like this all along.  If the three frontiers were balanced, dropped loot, and were rewarding, DF would never have been needed.

The only real problem with DF is that xp-wise, it's not a very safe place to level up. If you don't care about dying repeatedly it's a lot of fun.

i just don't like DF period. i really think its a waste of time. maybe im just upset cause i sold allmy stacked daemon seals by an accident = (
and got 0 copper
