asuran scan and why you need it

as i mentioned in a previous comment, i received 6 skills today.
one of them is asuran scan
it will add a percentage onto every attack you do on target foe. Particularly useful for warriors i imagine

who has a spare 30 or 40 hours this weekend

cause of this
double rep points in EotN titles!!!!

progress and our last EotN mission

i'm pretty sure i can speak for us all when i say i'm happy with last night.
good effort in general i think.

a time for heroes is the last mission we have to face before we finish EotN.
It might be an idea to read up on it before we go in next week.
I'm going to try and get the asura skill pain inverter which will help significantly. If any of you guys can get it too it might help.

I'm thinking the best team build would be
Me: same build i used last night with pain inverter added and my standard spell interupt replaced with a skill interupt.. or a SS build with barbs?
Mick: Interupt crazy
Mick's Dunk:Light of Deliverance / Heal Party Build with condition removal
My Dunk: pretty much the same
My Vekk: Earth Ele with Ward of Stability to counter knock downs.
One of my Ritualists - with recuperation and recovery, and probably a couple of attacking spirits
Caine and Copland... whatever you guys think - if you can bring (ele) frigid armor it will help with the burning. Maybe some interupts will help too... and if you can get pain inverter, it will help

hope this isnt too heavy.
if this doesnt work we might need more damage but we can try that if we fail - wiki is suggesting air spikers, my zhed would work there
sorry i'm listing all my heros, it just works fairly well to have casters in the back line

if we go well at this, then maybe we could go straight into the hard mode version???

igneous summoning stone

/bonus on any character and you will recieve an igneous summoning stone.
it can only be used by characters under level 20.
it will summon a level (whatever you are) fire imp, that wont be a hero, but will apear as an ally
once you use the stone, it takes 1 hour to recharge.
the imp lasts for an hour UNLESS IT DIES - then you have to wait for the rest of the recharge time to get it again.
If you're about to level up, its best to wait to summon him, so you get a stronger imp
the full wiki article on this creature can be found here

No Caine this week?

Hey!

So I was thinking this week we could do some clearing up and knock over some things we have outstanding from the other 3 campaigns, or whatever. Maybe some skill caps that need some help or whatever.

Things are getting a bit tough and if we get too far ahead Caine might have a hard time catching up on his own (I know I would). Anyway, let me know. I have a board meeting so I might be on a bit later than usual, but I would hope to be on between 9 and 9:30 SA time.

That's Gold!


So, I was watching Good Game last night. In their 'Gamer News' section they did a bit about "gold farming" and its increased prevelance in games like ours. I found the following article on a game site...

Our friends at Manchester University have published another study looking at developing nations where the poor earn money by gold farming or powerlevelling in MMOs. The estimate is half a million people do the work for pay, a supermajority of them in China. Of the online toilers, 400,000 are involved in gold farming, the rest powerlevelling and other services.

The study's author admits that precise estimates are not possible because of the underground nature of the activity. But it's at least a $500 million global industry as of now, with organized crime snaking its tendrils into the business.

The growth is entirely predictable and not really a new phenomenon, when you think about it. "When you get people with more money than time and time than money the two will find a way to meet," said Stephen Davis, of game security firm Secure Play. Quoted for truth.
