    • Limited amount of times you can "need" in dungeons and raids confirmed.

     

    Hmmm, isn't is the EXACT OPPOSITE

    Q23: You previously mentioned that you might restrict the number of times we are able to roll a NEED on loot. Have you decided if any restrictions will be in place?

    A23: After discussing the matter internally, we have decided not to implement any restrictions on the looting system.

    That's is 8 more days of no mmorpg for me :( ill just play around with age of wushu for 8 days :P

    "mmorpg.com forum admins are all TROLLS and losers in real life"
    My opinion

  • PoufPouf Member Posts: 341

    Seriously I love this website but a lot of information posted here is "kinda" wrong. Tell will be allowed in raid, it will just not be allowed in things like duty finders so you can't spam the **** out of player you may never play with again. You will be able to send tells to people on your own server/shard

     

    Also like someone said in your message you said phase 4 is on 14th but it's on 17 or 16th if you were in phase 3

     

    Also I can be wrong there but i'm quite sure barber shop will be available at launch, because launch comes with 1st patch, they even said "Don't worry too much during beta character creation"

     

    They also confirmed moon festival that is 1 week after launch, with "heat" bikini gear

    There won't be a wipe in this last beta phase, only a limit to lvl 20 but everything will be carried over to early access and release.

    Most people claim this applies to duty finder ONLY, so you can't disturb the people you get qued into.   

    Premade raid groups will have access to /tell from what I am told.   Not that it makes a difference because your all on vent/teamspeak most likely.

    I do not want to start a flame war here, but This post is about what has been said THIS MORNING and it contains error on waht has been said THIS MORNING...

     

    They did not CONFIRM that loot will have limits, they DENIED it , said they changed idea... The post up there contains wrong information... I just wanted to correct it.. 

    This morning there was also an error on the dates, I am not against this site or the creator of this thread, I am just saying that probably over 500 persons read this text today and it contains false information and I just wanted to help...

     I am not talking about the dev changing idea I am talking about how it currently is. Sorry if you though I was only here to flame..

    Yea haha, but keep in mind its not exactly that, they meant duty finders so you can't flame and troll cross-realms , you will be able to /tell people from your shards , so yea they will /tell in raids
