Well it's been out for a week

I like it - finally some new decent PvE content that is actually doable solo or in duo.

I feel the same way.

It's a been a pleasure so far doing the quests that have got my heretic to level 22 so far - some of them are rather funny too

It's just a pity that the taskmaster quests aren't caster-friendly until the 1.74 update.

Visited the Underground Forest last weekend with my reaver and met some friendly people.



also went into Lost Wing (Barrows instanced dungeon) with a couple of friends and it was rather fun - pity I had to leave to go to bed before we had completed it.

wish some more people would get to the normal catacombs zones, the underground forest obelisk or the inconnu crypt obelisk should be a perfect place for forming groups (like AC entrance or whatever) but it needs critical mass first.

Funniest one was a level 7 quest in Aquaducts where you had to kill mobs with a funny hat on - hilarious kill spam from the mobs .

Same here, once people know where these places are (or even know that they exist) hopefully we'll see more people there. Be nice to have somewhere else to xp - rather than spending the best part of the last 40 levels killing the same mobs over and over again in AC

I didn't know there was an obelisk in the UF I just used the Glashtin Forge one to port back - is the UF one a 2-way then?

I do want to add that in my opinion, the Cotswold starter quests have several flaws in them. A missed chance - WoW does a much better job in taking new players by the hand and guiding them around.

Not sure about the details, but the starter quests have been revamped in patch 1.75D. Here's a quote from the patch notes:

Quests – Albion

- The beginner quests starting with Master Frederick have been revamped. There are some optional guides to interface and game mechanics added to the early stages of these quests. There is also an extra quest called Battlegrounds which will give players some information on RvR. This quest will cover PvE or PvP on Gaheris or Mordred.

Well there's certainly a flaw in those quests for heretics. Master Frederick sticks on certain quests when about to give you your reward (even saying the keyword(s) doesn't trigger them). This doesn't get fixed til 1.74 (iirc). Fortunately there are plenty of fun quests to do in the 'ducts

I hope they fix the bug in the starter quest which sends you to the Proving Grounds. If you don't talk to Visur yourself to port to the bg (i.e. someone else clicks on him when you are on the pad), the quest journal doesn't continue to the next step - I don't want to be the /confused newbie who stumbles on this one

Don't have it yet and not in a hurry to start playing atm.

Good guide.

Came across your post in FH when I should have been working

Will finally get new PC all built in next couple of days and catas will be first thing on!

Should be UBAH!!!

Derv

Lucky sod. Still saving up for my new PC. Hoping to get it by the end of the year.

Lucky now yes but I've been saving up a LONG time believe me. I have SO earned this...

Pah, you'll hardly have time to play on it anyway with your RL commitments. You may as well ship it to me once it's built

OK then. Need to cover posting though - about £1500 should do it.

On second thoughts I'll collect it from you in person
