In most situations, it makes no sense to go back to the quest giver unless you're actually bringing them something (which you do occasionally). You're not working for them, you're working for your faction. Your reports go to your faction. You have a cell phone, super human thumbs, and 3-5 bars of reception everywhere.
A cell phone that your faction handler can send physical objects through! It's incredible.

If anything puts me off this game right now, it's the constant popping up of those whatchamacallitwhosisthings. Every time I stop to look something up or try and figure something out, they suddenly appear and try to eat me. I just don't have the concentration skills to remember what the bloody fucking hell I was doing before I killed it. What the fucking fuck, Secret World???
I'm pissed off.

Other than the first one that you get the quest from they are non aggro, you can ignore them unless you use AoE and are fighting something else. They are quite annoying and it was a bad idea.

You mean the thingies that pop up every two minutes? I hope that's what you're talking about because it not being a permanent feature gives me hope.

Yes, those are part of the Mayan end of the world event thingie that has been going on for the hollidays. There are morninlight (kinda like a scientology cult thing) tents in the main cities were you can trade 15 of the mayan k'ins you get from those guys for a max level blue weapon.

So that's the big deal about hanging out at the hippie camp and letting its wards kill them. It looks terribly dull, but at least there is some kind of payoff, I guess.

At least the associated quests are a metric fuck ton of xp, those mobs bugging newbies is a really dumb move though.

Yeah, the quests themselves are awesome. The dbags farming them is just dumb.

5 days really, but yes i agree this was an ill timed and not very well thought part of the event. Those things really should stay away from newbies or require a conscious choice to take part.

I don't like that when I log in the character selection my character has yellow lips and glowing yellow nipples and is wearing a black thong even though I have a perfectly acceptable t-shirt and cargo trousers. Why do I even HAVE nipples. I don't need nipples in a game. And when I get in the game, I have my proper clothing on. Why does the game insist that I see my nipples before I play? It makes me annoyed.

Apparently, I need to go trolling the spoiler sites. I've finished everything in Kingsmouth. I've run Polaris. I ran to Blue Mtn. and snagged a QL6 blade. I have a blue QL3 fist weapon and AR from Polaris. I have some other blue gear from Polaris.
I can't seem to survive very long in the Savage Coast. I'm thinking that my builds suck and I just haven't yet found the right set of abilities . . . but I was wading through stuff in Kingsmouth. If this continues, then I might just go grind APs in Kingsmouth -- but I'd rather see new content, not redo old or farm mayan zombies.

I am pretty far into the blades/AR deck build. Some of the AR powers are deep into the outer ring skills. Just to be safe, I threw a bunch of my post-Polaris APs into the Blades/Fist deck.
So, basically, I'm heavy on blades, moderate on AR, and light on Fist.

Bamboo cutter + shoot em' up + clearing the path is what makes that build, that is a guaranteed penetrate on every finisher. After that work on the passives that exploit the automatic penetrates, specially sudden return. The AR/blade build is what i used at first and it did pretty well even in blue mountains.

Yeah, this is me, too. I couldn't manage Savage Coast so it's back to Kingsmouth for me. I don't mind so much, though. There's a lot of quests that I haven't done and even the easy ones are pretty much always kind of fun.

My first build was pistols/elemental and that got me almost all the way through to the end of Transylvania. It's only toward the end when I started finding myself repeatedly outmatched. Part of that was because I was still running around with QL8 green gear. If there's one thing to be said for the goddamn Mayans, it's that they've helped me get some better shit from the morninglighters, including kickass QL10 blue weapons.
That said, I've started over with a shotgun/hammer combo and that's been positively beastly. Most things are dead before I get down to half heath.

It would also get me motivated enough to compile a post for the character name three that lists people who are still apparently playing.

Savage coast was alright for me but it was those A'kab with the constant rushes. What elite are you using? Stunning Swirl the Impair Elite for inner ring blades is amazing and I used it all the way to Translyvania

Unless you go glance, in which case art of war is the only way to go.

Do you know what I don't like doing? The "That'll leave a mark" quest during an "End of the World" event. That's what.
And also: THAT'LL??? Really? Was the quest written by the late Buddy Holly?
Sorry. I'm annoyed because I can't figure out what the stupid Hatchling is or what it does! The Google didn't help me. Hatchling. Another word that sounds dodgy to me. Oh well. And I super stubbed my toe. Otherwise, I'm just as ill-spoken as the rest of ya'll.
Dammit.

Nobody can. From the sound to the cheesy charge attack to the way they seem to always push you into the aggro zones of at least two others. Ak'kab suck.
