Lots of fun, but being at that level means you have a ton of powers and attacks and, aside form it being a button-munching fest, it takes a while to get the attack chains back. Especially when it’s been 300-odd days since you last played that toon …<\/p>\n
That all said (and we had fun, and pretty much wiped up anything we went against), I want to comment on the best QoL improvement EVAH:<\/p>\n
The changes the Auction Houses.<\/p>\n
Yeah, the changes have been around a few issues, but I just want to comment on them: this was the interface we needed when Wentworths came out.\u00a0 Drag something (enhancement, recipe, salvage) into the auction panel.\u00a0 If it’s salvage you need for a recipe you have, it warns you. Then you can instantly get, on the same screen, the most recent prices for that piece.\u00a0 Choose a price, and have at it.\u00a0 Ditto for making bids on items, with the search line being quick and auto-completing.<\/p>\n
None of this is capability that wasn’t available in the original interface, but here it’s actually convenient, quick, <\/em>and useful<\/em>.\u00a0 It’s as close to a joy to use as such an interface could be, and it makes buying and selling stuff (auctionable stuff, at least) as close to painless as possible.<\/p>\n Yeah, having the actual crafting be a separate location is still irksome. Salvage management is annoying. The actual crafting stuff is a distraction (though, ultimately, less so than having to constantly refresh DOs and SOs).\u00a0 But at least they’ve gotten the auction house interface right, and that’s no small thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, it’s actually news around here when I do some gaming.
