We were wondering what happened. We hung around awhile, but Corwin had to go, and I had to go to bed. We'll get you caught up sooner or later though. You may have to *gasp* pug. You might see about a Reaver's Fate at level, if you can find one. It's not a difficult raid, even after being upgraded. You may even get lucky and get a napkin.
Alrik, I already have 11 slots. 2 mules and 1 crafter, leaving 8 characters in various states of activity. And I was planning one more, a Druid to test the waters with before committing to a TR off my Sorc. Beyond that, farming out gear for another character, when I already have several to do so for, isn't high on the list of things I want to do. Whereas Rachail already has the gear, and will just need low-level stuff to get her to her better loot at 12-14. And I can craft stuff up to that point easily enough.
To top it off, most of my characters are slated to farm Shroud after I get them to 18+. Only Mirys, Aerii, and Rachail I ever plan to TR again. Mirys I'm unsure of into what, Aerii will become a Druid next life,, and Rachail probably Exploiter Ranger once her GS Khopeshes are done. I've considered TRing Mureall back into Monk, for the past life, but that's debatable. Only once I've got a HP item for her, and have gotten Pump and the new Rogue up to Shroud levels. Which I'm off to create said Rogue now.
By the way, are we going to pull off of Korthos to get our gear before starting? If not, then the new Rogue, Mirial, won't be able to join the guild until after we run Korthos through, likely on the first night in this group. If we are going to head to Stormreach first, then I can add her to the guild, and craft some useful stuff. I already have an Elven chainmail I can use for a good lowbie item.
The crash on changing instances is a very old one. I'm not sure what causes it, as I have never had it happen (yet). This is across 4 different computers. Yet Dte has had a horrible time with it, as has CM. Supposedly it was fixed in the upcoming expansion.
On that note, it has been confirmed that due to the immense number of system changes in the expansion, we will be getting a free Lesser Reincarnation. That said, there is a bug with Lesser/Greater Reincarnation which causes favor-based feats like the 10hp Draconic Vitality from 150 Argo favor and the Coinlords 400 favor Finishing School feat to not be applied after reincarnation. So LR at your risk!
