Yes, but now that it has been moved out of the Pathfinder Forums, and into the Pathfinder Online forums, none of the people who discovered it who actually have unused accounts will ever see it again. All of the posts that appeared before yours were from people who never visit the PFO forums, and it was successful in directing several of them here. Now it is dead.

Yep, I pretty much knew the Mods would kick it back down here. It was mostly why I hadn't gotten around to posting in the general forum about it last week. It was good while it lasted though. I think a good many people exchanged accounts that never would have otherwise. And getting enthused players into accounts that they want to play is a very good thing. Thank you for the effort.

Account acquired. Many thanks to the seller.

This idea has crossed my mind and I've worked it a bit but had no success on that angle yet. I know there have to be many, many accounts sitting dormant from hobbyists who have only purchased for the pdf's. I'm sure they'd be interested in getting in the neighborhood of $150 for something they paid $35 for. However, getting in contact with them is problematic. It's pretty obvious they're not reading the forum section here or at Goblinworks. I'm sure I'd get responses if my request was in a heavier trafficked area of these boards, yet it also seems rude to do so.

Close again but no luck. Still looking. 22 days to go.

Come close to getting an offer this morning, but no dice. Still actively looking. The big B-day is one month away. :D

I gave one of my 15 day trials to my dear wife. She is now enjoying herself very much but she often gazes longingly in my direction. At first I thought she just found me attractive, but then I realized she was actually longing after my DT account. Her birthday is this month, and it would seem a fitting gift.

Anyhow, if you have a Kickstarter backed account with Destiny's Twin and are looking to sell, I'm looking to buy. Please contact me with a PM with your offer.

Who's the lead organizer and decision maker of the United Anarchist People's Anarchist Front?

I believe that would be the one and only awakened raccoon, Chika Tika Fastpaws.

Devs have indicated on the GW forums that the T2 escalations will not spread to surrounding hexes at this time.

Devs may have indicated that, but it is not true. The tier 2 Ogg escalation SE of RiverBank has spread into half a dozen hexes, all now at over 15%...

Actually, the devs indicated that each escalation currently has a max spread value that was arbitrarily assigned to each current escalation playing on the map relative to their strengths. IE weaker escalation types are being allowed to spread farther if left unchecked while the most difficult (Mordent Spire) has been capped at 3 hexes. Sadly the AI chose the road as one of those 3 hexes.

Take towers until they yield...

Purely a curiosity, but why would they yield? If they're apathetic about the War of Towers and not playing the game, why would the loss of Towers have any impact on their decision to retain Settlement control?

The main reason I can think of is that we have been told that post WOT settlement building points will be doled out relevant to a settlements overall success during WOT. If Glale and others consistently deny them towers BFK will likely enter the next phase of the game with nothing and be in the same position as someone starting a new settlement from scratch. To the victors go the spoils after all....

I think we'll stay busy ne'er enough with Golgotha and Caldea on our Eastern flank. But yes, we intentionally decided to peaceably coexist and trade in the North rather than fight among ourselves. We make a strong unified shield to break the teeth of those who do us harm.

This news warms my heart. You start to wonder why one would craft a suit of armor at +0 when they drop so readily from starter mobs. This gives crafting characters more focus.

I somewhat like the fact that group members and their pins only track on the mini map. I mean how would you KNOW your companion is two hexes East of you? When we get lost we just mouse over our minimap icons and locate each other by our TK coordinates.

In the North, Rathglen has developed a decent population. I've been making forays into the mountains to the NE for resources and occasionally see folks up there. It's been nice running into a fair many outside my settlement affiliation that I've met in alpha.

For those of you complaining that there's nothing substantial to do, I think you're missing the point of the sandbox...

I think the question is what do you want to do? The content/conflicts of the game are player created. Right now, my focus is to gather resources and craft to start equipping my settlement. Others are monster hunting and working on beating back escalations to increase the resource value of nearby hexes and to farm for patterns.

On the other side of things, I know there are already shady characters hiding in the bushes and stabbing traveler's in the face. I don't see much point there until husks are implemented, but there you have it.

If you're bored on day 3, you either lack community, vision, or both. In the end this game is what you make it.

As for first impressions of EE. Much improved from when I went inactive in Alpha two months ago. I've had zero bugs or issues. Everything seems to be rolling along as planned.

First off, I want to say that I think the dialog in this thread is rather productive and many interesting questions have surfaced.

I do however, find it curious that there is such an intent focus on the concept of a "crafting alt". I understand how it might be desirable to have a crafting specialized alt to park at the crossroads of a bustling economy or of a different race to min/max racial skill bonuses, but with crafting ques making progress while you're out in the world adventuring I think that these benefits are being perceived as greater than they actually are.

I don't really see a great advantage to stopping the xp on my main char to give xp to an alt just for the purpose of crafting. Why not just spend some of your main char's xp budget on crafting?

IMHO, crafting alts are for players who either have a Destiny's Twin or have intent to purchase a second monthly sub long term to maintain a crafting character and an adventuring character with maximum XP each.

As for financial viability long term it is going to always be a balance between casual dabblers flocking to F2P vs. hardcore power gamers who maintain 2+ paid subscriptions to have high level output in multiple specialized roles.

The 1000XP start doesn't truly make much of a difference here. The question would be - where could you stop with a crafter to be useful enough? That works for both - alt crafter or multiclas.

This is the real question. The XP cost of crafting skills increases at a greater rate than adventuring skills do. At rank six or so, skill ups start costing > 8,0000 xp each. Taking a skill to Tier 3 viability would take over a month's worth of xp. That puts your adventuring "main" a month behind the level curve for every crafting skill you want to put on your alt. My advice, use DT, buy a second account, or let the crafters craft and pay them well.

I joined the Kabal and so should you! I have to admit that it was a bit strange passing out after eating the quail only to awaken in a cold stone room in my small clothes, but after the initiation process we're getting along splendidly!
