I think that's mostly because there's usually 10-15 players+companions all wailing away. No companions in some of the dungeons, right? And they can't make it too hard in case not many ppl show up in a spot. I've gotten to a portal solo and me against 2 of those Wights in the middle of a cluster of zombie adds = dicey, lol. I've bought 3 white dogs and have several lvl5 enchants too. Don't care about saving up the bones. Just want the dogs to sell later, once the companion upgrades are available. Don't know why ppl sell them right away before the event is even over. Time for a nap now. Yeah, I'm going to see if it's more profitable to sell white dogs or savage enchantments and spend the bones on whatever I can make a prettier profit on. The enchantments are nice and all, but not anything special. Frankly, I'd rather have azure enchantments as I care about critical strike for offense slots above anything else, and while savage enchantments provide both critical strike and armor penetration and the sum of the bonuses is slightly higher than an equivalent rank azure (or other type) enchantment (for example +65 and +65 for a rank 5 savage versus +120 for a rank 5 azure) I'd rather have the singular critical strike bonus of azure than split between crit and armor penetration. I'm currently in the process of trying to find and/or buy the full Titan armor set. I have the boots, now I need the helmet, armor, and bracers. Once I have the full set I'll mostly just squirrel away my AD for a potential mount and/or companion training manual in the future. I may spend a few AD on an enhancement slot enchantment for my axe and my armor (once I have the Titan Scale). I came to the conclusion that coalescent wards are just way too expensive in AH (I've still yet to EVER get one from a coffer of augmentation). It's cheaper to just buy the already fused enchantments. Also, about 10 1/2 months from now I'll get that angel companion for 360 ardent coins. Nothing else is even remotely worth buying with ardent coins (ooh a blue lev 60 weapon that's nowhere near as powerful as even the weakest purple you can easily get with seals of the unicorn that you'll quickly accumulate by doing epic dungeon runs [especially during dungeon delves events] )
I don't know if I'd go so far as to call Sony "honorable" (in fact I sure as heck wouldn't), they saw Microsoft HERP DERP DERP DEEEEERRRRRP *slobber* and they made sure to point it out to everybody and laught at it while everyone laughed with them. They basically "won" because they weren't completely incompetent and delusional. Pretty funny and mostly accurate comparison otherwise.
Yeah, the Unhallowed Wights at least add another enemy that doesn't get insta-gibbed, though I've seen and participated in taking them down in sometimes as little as 2 or 3 seconds. Anyway, my goal was to get 200 bones (not that they're particularly valuable because there's not really anything good to trade them for), and I'm almost there. I have 7 rank 5 savage enchantments. If I can get one more that will be enough to fuse 2 rank 6s. I doubt I could get enough for a rank 7. I don't think anyone will be able to fuse a rank 8, unless they buy up rank 7s from AH.
While ME was far from cutting edge, I will agree that the difference in design quality between the two franchises (ME and DA) is quite noticeable. Did they use the same engine for both series? (Unreal Engine?) Notice I said "design", meaning artistic design, not commenting on the tech itself (which looked better than DA regardless). Yup. My question about engines used was separate from my comment on design, though I did a poor job of making that clear.

Crap, I read it as June rather than July...
Ladies and gentlement, we have a release date! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1613260297/shadowrun-returns/posts/512751?ref=activity Woot! That's just 1 week away. /starts planning out Ork Shaman or Decker
Okay, it doesn't link to her. Cool, because I don't want to give her page views. I might read it at lunch time.
Hm, that could be. Or maybe if you have one of the higher level special purple companion enchants? I did notice that the lvl1 white dog has less initial hit points than the blue lvl1 dog. Must be a Tier multiplier difference. Wonder when they're going to have the Upgrade Companion tome to purchase...seems a bit odd it's not there already. Yeah, when I was leveling up my Acolyte of Kelemvor, she already had as many hit points as my max levelled cheesy cleric or wizard companion when she hit lev 8 or 9. She's got more than double hit points at lev 25 of what the cheesy companions have at lev 15. Speaking of the Acolyte of Kelemvor, travelling around with Rufus to level him up has given me new appreciation for her. Just doing runs through Bill's Tavern for foundry dailies (Bill's Tavern is my go to foundry speedrun, I can do it in 11 or 12 minutes) I wind up having to use potions or chilling near the campfire for extended periods because I take so much more damage and heal so much less. Of course part of that is because Rufus is still so low lev that he gets knocked unconscious but quick, so he doesn't pull aggro for very long, nor get the chance to knock down enemies much, but the other part of that is that a "healer" is just a much better companion for me in most situations since I'm a DPS class. I wouldn't mind getting another blue dog drop, either to save for a future character that could benefit more from it, or to sell in AH for AD. If I don't get another one, though, I'll just be happy with the one I have.
She's not exactly a pioneer as far as posting rumors or complete fabrications to get page views. /does not click on link
The first Amnesia had a few jump scares but the main focus is definitely not things jumping out at you. Yeah, it was mostly about a constant feeling of tension and foreboding weighing down on you, plus some quality mind****s. I still think Penumbra: Black Plague had the single best mind**** (speaking strictly of Frictional Games' games) toward the end of the game.
If you want a "decent" looking MMO you could play Tera. Then you'll have somewhat pretty graphics... of underage girls' underwear.
If it's a 20 spot and as good as Mars: War Logs then I'll likely scoop it up. I wonder if this will also include hilariously awful low budget voice acting and dialogue?
Shani was my boo in TW1. Eventually, in preparation for TW3, I'll do a playthrough all the way through the first two games kicking both Shani and Triss to the curb, trying to stay true to Yennefer, or as close as the games will let you.
Thinking about it, perhaps the blue dog glows if you use the skin you get at higher level? I mean the only real difference between the white skeleton dog and the blue one is that the blue one can get to level 25 rather than 15 and get one extra skin. I suspect that maybe that skin is the glowing skin. I guess I'll find out when I level Rufus up to lev 25.
There's a "bones" merchant up one side of the main stairs that leads to the main praying spot. He has two dogs next to him...where one of the scrying stones usually is, maybe? The bones can be turned in for the enchants, scrolls, and the dog. 40 for the dog. I only have 25 so far, I was focusing on getting to lvl 60 first. At the end of every portal, does the screen totally freeze for you? It doesn't hurt me at all, but it's rather annoying. Combat is fine, just "portal's have closed!" and it's suddenly 1fps for 5 seconds. Only time the game has behaved like that. P.S. - dunno if the bones will be worth anything else later or not... P.P.S 2 - the vendor just has white dogs, not blue ones. Blue ones from the bag o' bones I gather. Yeah, the blue dog (the one I got) is a rare drop during the event. I've gotten 1 so far the entire time (which is enough for me). The lag thing is happening for everyone (apparently crashing the game for some people, but not me). When the portal explodes at the end it goes into super duper freeze mode for several seconds.
I got me a skeleton dog companion. His name is Rufus von Marrowstein:
