I've been running into some hardware struggles, both mechanical and organic.  Temperatures have been getting higher than I'd like while I run the game, though I haven't had any stability issues yet.  (I'm just happy my 4 year old Frankenbox runs it decently otherwise)  My mouse hand has been complaining sooner about the clickety-clicking too...  So I'm gonna have to limit my play sessions, and plodding and methodical soloing when I do.

-----

I'll be available for trading with everyone, though.  Currently using a L13 Ranger, Vyrin_Silentwind, interested in rare bows in the L12-L18 range.

I have a couple of decent rare shields [L8 w one green slot] and [L12 w one red slot] for token payment.  A couple ID scrolls, some non-ID fragments, whatever.

If you're looking for things, let us all know so we can keep an eye out.

My witch just died so I deleted her.
you guys should join the steam gaming group, everyone that plays exile on there all play together whenever they can.
and it's easier to see / talk about creating new characters / setting up playing together through that group chat.

join the group then join the chatroom.

I'm already in the DFC.

Ah, useful. Came up with this. Basic concept was just to pick up as much +minion life stuff as possible (which turned out to be all of it), then as much bow stuff as possible (which turned out to be most of it). Let the minions tank while the ranger does the damage. Does there happen to be anything painfully obvious I'm missing that someone can eyeball and identify?

[Aklyon]

Well, the first thing is you aren't going to get all the way to 111 points anytime soon, that would imply getting to lv.100. Current areas and maps are only going to get into the 70s at best.

Anyone else having trouble at the moment?
I keep DCing and can't seem to enter different areas.

[Aklyon]

Yeah, I am. Hopefully its not more of what happened yesterday.

I logged in and ran Merveil, for the sake of testing...  Other than one failure to transition from lower caverns to upper caverns, it was behaving for me.  There was a chat announcement about stability issues, though.

I think most of it can be chalked up to "the first weekend after going open beta", really.

[Aklyon]

Oh yeah, weekend.

I'd forgotten it was saturday today >.>

Well, my splodey marauder's doing pretty well, a few more levels for blood magic and he should be well on his way. I kept getting disconnected earlier, though. Hopefully now that the "whuh oh, something's wrong" warning's gone from the main site things will be better.

Spark+Fork Shadow w/Shock Nova.

Doing much better than I'd expected (especially Shock Nova, which hits incredibly hard once you get the spacing right most of the time, sometimes lightning is finicky and does less damage), though I really do need more mana if I'm going to keep clarity.

I shall be trying this out

Has anybody picked up a mine gem? It's similar to traps, but you can only drop them under your feet, and you remote detonate them. I haven't managed to make them useful yet.

Tactically, I think the idea is that you plant a mine, fall back a bit, then detonate.  It's the sort of thing that would be good for a bow ranger or witch...  Keeps melee critters at a distance so they can get shot or be eaten by summons.  The real trick will be hooking it up to the correct support gems for maximum effect.

Yeah, looking through the thread for it on the forums, it seems nobody else has been able to get much use out of it either. putting down the mines and detonating them is just too slow.
