Posts Tagged ‘Thanquols Incursion’

As you may or may not be aware, I’ve been concerned about the number of Royal Crests I’ve been acquiring, or haven’t which is more accurate assessment. At the moment I’m RR73 and have about 40 royal crests, with 4 bits of sovereign armour. Not really a great position to be in. But I have to admit to being a bit of an idiot and have let my dislike of Thanquols Incursion (TI) blind me to it being a more reliable source of high level crests. Yes I know you all know this, but I’ve been a wee bit slow on the uptake.

All those Skaven incursions that have been popping  since I hit RR65 have been missed opportunites. They pop a lot more frequently than city sieges and all the doomflayer/warpforged crests in stage 2 and stage 3 can be swapped down for a lower set and most of the time it’s a straight bit of PvE, with a total run time of 20 mins. 

It’s another one of those circumstances where the apparent purpose of something wasn’t very clear at the start, but now the clouds have parted it’s a completely different ball game.

Well at least I have time to rectify to rectify my situation.

If you are playing Rift at the moment, I hope it’s fun. I’m sure the queues will get more reasonable in a couple of weeks. If you’ve still got queues in a months time, then look at it as being a very positive sign.

Hopefully we’ll have a response from Mythic in a couple of weeks time, as to what they have planned, to hit ex players with, once the 1st month of Rifts paid subscription is up.

I think it’s only wise to let these things run their cause.

I admit it, I’ll drop into a zone and grab some easy points from a zone flip. Why? Because it’s an easy win. That’s a 10th of a level at the moment and I’d be a fool to ignore the opportunity. So lets assume I’m not in the minority, lets assume that this particular view is the majority view, because maybe I’m not the only one that notices a holding pattern near the teleporter once the zone flip is close. I normally like to arrive as the outer door has just gone down, since I see no point in fighting for a keep, given the chance of a loot win is so low and it’s highly unlikely it will be of any interest to me. Plus the whole affair bores me rigid. Is that honest enough?

Not a lot of love for the new instance in the warband I went in with and we ended up winning, so god knows what the other side thought. Of course it may be that it was too one-sided and wasn’t a fair encounter, but how often do you get a balanced encounter in the city siege? At least with that, you can breeze through it within 20 mins, lets say. This could be a real grind, even when you’re winning.

So what follows next is all related to a thread on Thanquol’s Incursion within The Developer Roundtable, which as you’ll know is on the Bioware forums. Okay so I’ll admit, I’m a bit confused on one little detail, which I’ll get to in a moment.
