I have a 220 Engineer (Kerrigan, RK1) with the Augmented Master Engineer Pistol, which gives 25% of your Mechanical Engineering skill to your attack rating. that said, any Engineer with 1000 tutoring could easily get an extra 12-13 attack rating by using a mechanical engineering tutoring device. While the patch makes a lot of nice changes, one thing i really cannot understand is why there is a "Must be on Rubi-Ka" requirement on tutoring devices. It's extremely minor and blatant nit-picking, but something that i can truly find no logic behind. why? why only on Rubi-Ka? do the shadowlands somehow make my character dumber? is it for roleplaying purposes? I get the feeling someone is going to have a good laugh that someone actually noticed this, sort of as a "holy crap i got someone with it" jolly old laugh but i haven't cracked at all JOKE'S ON YOU! HAHA. HA. you've not won yet! And fully consistent with the sane, mental deficiency, I am, I am all! Tendency of field of pirate down is translated engage in heaps of cat and entertainment rainbow soggy left door ajar!
Followup question, WTF do you need 12 attack rating for?

Followup question to he followup question, why don't you need 12 extra attack rating?

Followup question to the followup question that is following up the followup question,
why would you raise tutoring at all? there's PLENTY of TS equipment that makes the device beyond obsolete.
12 attack rating isn't worth all that IP wasted in a skill that won't be needed or won't even exist post-balance.
moreover, the weapon uses 100% pistol skill in addition to the 25% ME skill; it'd be MUCH better to wear combat items to raise your AR, not that it matters much, since engi is a support class and will have it's AR diminished accordingly.
Quote from the followingIs this some kind of a joke?Originally Posted by Yarkona
The RK1 party is in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day for North America & the RK2 party is until 4AM on a work night for Europe?
You guys made North America's availability insanely early for BOTH servers for the Halloween party, but at least it was on a weekend.
Please consider that since this game has been running for over 10 years, the majority of the community is no longer in school & on winter vacation. Some people actually have to work to pay for their subscriptions & having major celebrations in the middle of the week is an insult to 'Community Relations'.
We had to find a day where CR personnel would be available, and extended the party times over a full 16 hours to cover time zones. Also, we had to consider that the PREVIOUS weekend is Christmas and the FOLLOWING weekend is New Years. Neither the ARKs nor GSP DJs are likely to be available on those days, and it would not be fair to ask them to be.
Note, all of the persons involved in handling and hosting the party also have jobs they need to attend to. Its not easy to schedule this around our lives either.

followup response to the followup question's followup question's followup question's followup question.
did anyone aside from Mastablasta read the post all the way through? i'd say the complete gibberish at the end and admission that it's nitpicking made it pretty clear that it was a joke. Though before i lose my sanity again i really would like to know who put that requirement there. someone actually got paid to do that, i'm sure. in response to Xyphos my engineer in tradeskill gear typically places 5 or higher on DD in beast raids etc (though that could just be i don't slack). Engineers are awsome damage because of their pets, not their guns though the guns do help alot. no matter how your engineer is geared though, so long as you remember to get trimmers you'll be good damage solely because of your pets. yell at any engineer who isn't (at 220 anyhow)
ha HA!

any beans that can be spilled about the quality/quantity if the shade spirit pb? I'm not really asking for specifics, but I'm curious is this another idea inline of the anniversary event/gauntlet or is it going to be widely accessible to a lot of players or an elite group of gms farm banditeers?
I had another idea: What if the pb pieces dropped from hissi's/Cur/Kuir/Len's in pande?
-or-
Boss mobs in inferno missions/statics?
Now that there is going to be a PB for Shades theyll farm that thing, prices will drop as soon as time progresses. Any smart person will wait with buying his spirits untill a good time later.
Seems like they are consistently trying to make all play fields in the game obsolete by removing any kind of incentive to play them, any kind of reward that is actually useful and not some kind of silly nodrop thing filling up in the inventory of all toons that gets outdated in 5 levels. Crack down on the abusers please, don't punish the rest of us.
Don't get me wrong. I understand that everyone has stuff outside of the game. It just seems to be a pattern lately that these events are not set up with working adults in mind. In the past, the party was held on the weekend before Christmas.
On that same note, how about doing 4 hour blocks, alternating servers, so that those on RK1 working in North America have a better chance of at least getting a couple hours of in-game party time in after work, as well as those on RK2 in Europe having a better chance of attending for a few hours without having to stay up extremely late?
Also, can we PLEASE get someone to check out the threads about the All org bots broken since patch & People of Rubi-Ka website not returning results & provide a status update?
Almost all orgbot versions are having major errors because of it... to the point that some are starting to ignore commands from orgmates.
