Xp on deathwyrm could be bumped up about 4x.

Great thoughts on a new expansion.

Well, I've listened to the whole conversation and was waiting until you ask any of the important questions, but was disappointed to find out that you didn't ask any.
Then what was the point of that thread?

Well MY important question was asked and answered, much to my surprise.
Thanks!

If its down to a vote Sev, I vote for two-dungeons-in-one with alternate paths and options. I want to be able to complete story arcs regardless of what character I'm on, but utilising their unique capabilities. I would rather have this than separate-but-more dungeons.

It doesnt' have to be whole separate paths, just alternate ways of dealing with specific encounters. Examples of good ways this can work is diplomatic immunity wildman area. Some of the eveningstar explorer random encounters also do this really well. Entirely separate paths like the new devil content is quite nice, but actually when you're in a mixed party you are having to make a group choice. That's good, but often they'll go with path of least resistance (i.e. speed) which oddly enough often is the combat DPS path. With occasional encounter options, different people might get time to shine.

I would settle for fewer, but better, dungeons.

Housing: if you were to do it, do it as cabins on a guild ship. Cosmetic mostly (as you say, trophies are good - glamour tech repurposed so you can hang named loot-looking-stuff on your wall?) and yes probably some storage of some kind. The ability to invite others in to have a look. That's all it needs to be (I realise that's not a small "all").

More Favour bonuses: I am in favour I'd rather see the desire to play on elite driven by favour and loot than XP.

UI - I'm glad to hear its on the list. Disappointed its still so far down

edit: also thanks for asking my question, team!

How about the option of turning your guild ship into a castle with (expandable?) rooms/towers for officers?

I like the ship, but a guild castle/keep would be far more desirable and fun for me. Could even tie upgrades to quests, such as getting those awesome rugs from this quest, or balistas from that quest, etc.

Thanks for doing this, some great information. Is there a transcript or a summary? Even a list of goodies as there is a lot of information in this not mentioned elsewhere.
* Fighter pass is next, 2 trees already worked on, wanting to make Fighter Vanguard as much fun as Paladin Vanguard
* To make Kensai work with heavy armour, mult-selectors etc, not just work with monk/light armour as it's only DPS tree
* The fact that they are looking into Cleric Domains! yay, even though it was further down the list.

Worth listening to!

I'm sorry we could not get to all that questions.. we were very pressed for time. So we did as much as we could. I plan on trying to do this again with Sev. so we will try and get more time next time is possible..

I'm going to try and do a transcript, as we have gotten a few quests for that. just will take me some time...

Sev, please feed him cookies, otherwise he may become weak and distracted leaving us with this as our next update:

I now fully expect the next Mimic event to have Mimics spew forth cookies doing massive bludgeoning damage ...

I haven't listened to the audio, but don't tie housing to guilds. It should be totally separate. You should not have to be in a guild to play with housing.

Thank you!
