Yes Whitevale is snow and beautiful. Now Grimvault, that is my least favorite area. Yes, the Blazing Saddles are an awesome group of rag-tag adventurous and fun people. :wub:

OMG!! He is the worst to try to keep alive! But to be fair, I personally HATE HATE HATE healing. But I do it for my guild, although I am not very good at it. I just don't have the 'healing attention' I should. I pay too much attention to the mobs, as a DPS should :D

Not sure. Maybe. See my comment above. And if it was me, thanks for the help. :)

See that's what threw me off with the queues. I found a group for Protostar Academy within about 15 minutes, but for Hycrest I still had nothing after about an hour. But that's probably because Protostar Academy is new content, right? I've completed two shiphand missions that were a blast. I really liked the stories in those. Also, even as a new player I was a little surprised that my group for Protostar Academy was having trouble with the dungeon. People weren't interrupting or were repeatedly dying from the fire telegraphs. I'm kind of excited to see what the harder content is, because it felt like I was able to grasp the main mechanics of the game a little faster than others.

That sounds like me! :D  Running that Darkspur set? With all their timers? We don't just ally with the Rollers and fight the Bloodmoon because it's easy! We go where we want!

I can confirm another break path. I'm not entirely sure how early you can find them, but at the very least, once you start the bride's quests, several of the lopp groomsmen are in position AND interact-able even if you do not have the groom's quests. I ran into that this weekend leveling up the medic. The price of having done the zone a few times, I was just not paying attention and was working on the bride's quests and had forgotten that I had not picked up the groom side. I talked to the lopp who is putting the moves on the snowman (though the snowman was not in position -- that was my first clue that something was hinky). I talked to the lopp who did ... something ... with the granok women. He hopped off too. Subsequently I picked up the "find the groomsmen" quest and I could not complete it!. The lopp I had clicked on were gone! Fortunately dropping the quest and reacquiring it made them respawn (with snowman) and was able to complete it. My best guess is that the key to spawning the groomsmen may lie with the bride's quest. That makes sense to me. Once you have started that story chain, the actors are in position. However the interacting portion is ALSO spawned; it doesn't have the groomsman quest as a parent/prerequisite. Thus, I was able to trigger the scripted portion without having the quest to do it, fouling up the current situation when I did get the quest. However, for all the errors in quest scripts there is progress. On the same character I got up to the Torine zone in Wilderrun. Anyone remember the horror that was the scripting for Deathbringer Kala at launch? That basically hosed the entire quest line from that point on. It is working correctly as far as I can tell now. I seem to recall it was a nontrivial problem involving making sure the NPC didn't despawn, getting the quest credit triggered as if you killed her, but she essentially goes non-combat at the end and walks back up the stairs. Main thrust... report the bugs. They DO get fixed, however obviously triage is in play.

I tried adding you as a friend, but I keep getting an 'Invalid note.' error when trying to send the request. I tried once without a note, but didn't get a notification if it went through or not. I'm probably doing something wrong. Sorry if I spammed you!

Maybe I simply wasn't online. I was definitely on Houngan Seeger for a while last night. Go ahead and send me your character name. I don't have band practice, so I should be on tonight. Or, if you're level 15 and have your housing plot, we can meet tonight on the Shadowcaster. That's the first place I usually drop in after logging in.

I was not on last night. Spent some couch time with the Hubby :) But will be on tonight.

Firstly, I'm glad that you're enjoying the game! Good to see a positive post rather than some of the doom and gloom that people usually post! :) Secondly, I would highly recommend getting yourself into a guild to see all of the games content (particularly the lower level adventures and dungeons), people don't tend to run them often anymore from what I can tell although I have had no problem getting into them as DPS, I just quest around while waiting, unless I'm in a hurry then will run it with guildies ... not to mention that it's always better running with people you know. I myself came back to the game about a month ago and I am having a blast, pretty much every reason you say you enjoy the game are the same reasons I do too, and with a chatty guild it makes things even more special! The art style is just fantastic, I hear people bang on about how much it looks like WoW, when in my opinion this games textures alone are 100 times better than that lol. Just stick to it, I don't know what level you are now but once you get out of the starter zone you should start to see more and more people, I know I certainly did. If you're on the Jabbit server check out the "Blackhand" guild, very friendly bunch of people with a casual attitude if that is what you're looking for! Have fun :D
