Unlike last time, I’m actually doing this world event. Well as much as I can before I go on vacation. I’m a little pissed off that it’s gated because then I definitely won’t finish by the time I’m leaving – and it will probably be over when I get back in a week.
Anyway, Dulfy’s guide in hand, I set out to find all the things.
The intrepid Zabrak does… something.
The most fun was when I was following some dude… people who spacebar through the cut scenes would be totally screwed in trying to find this guy. Oh, wait, there are guides. And I used them because, let’s be honest, I suck at directions.
So there he goes… UP…
Um… crap. I alt tab out to Dulfy’s guide which cheerfully says:
So the bounty hunter climbed up..See those crates there? Take a climb!
Take a CLIMB? As if it’s that easy for someone so jumping-impaired as myself. Gulp…
Yes, there are 5 jumps. The horror.
I did manage to vault up there and while it was not on my first… or seventh… try, I didn’t have to yell downstairs “Hey Honey, can you make this jump for me?” so I was not too embarrassed. Until I saw some chirpy asshole scoot up there on his first try like he was a monkey. Haet.
As for rewards, I wasn’t too impressed. I don’t need bowcastthingys, I don’t give a crap about mounts or pets, and fashion-wise I already have a sand people outfit.
I was so wrong to dismiss the sand people outfit! It may be the same model as the original, but it color matches so much better. Less chiquita banana, more badassery. And on the republic side, seeing a color, a real color that isn’t brown or tan or brownish tan, is pretty nice.
Totally badass, amirite?
The main thing I got to do during this event that I don’t normally do is that, whilst searching for random crates, I wandered around on my speeder through various levels and eventually bumped into the imperial side of things. ”Bumped into” being code for “ahhhh holy shit they are AFTER ME!!”
How are you liking the world event?
Apparently you’ve never gone after the Datacron that’s up those crates. ;o For the record those jumps are easier ones – from that top box you have to jump to the pipes and then up over the wall.
I’m enjoying the event for the most part. Though not nearly as much as the Rak event. The story is the best part of it IMO. I loved the cutscenes while following the Bounty Hunter! Those fights for the Rep/Emp quests though are too hard!! My 50 is the only one that could do it without help. Both of my 32-35 level characters had to have help.
And yes I was killing the guards first. I read to Dulfy too.
I did a crate datacron… I um challenged my husband to a duel and leaped! I pretty much did that for ALL the jumping datacrons.
Nice. /golfclap
I was not playing when the Rakghoul event came around, so I was glad to join in this one! And I’m happy to see how revitalizing it’s been, too. The Shadowlands is fairly high pop already, but it’s rare to see multiple instances of Nar Shaddaa or Coruscant.
(Some silly person on Nar Shaddaa asked in General, “Is anyone doing the Grand Acquisitions Race?” to which someone replied, “Nope, no one. There are just six instances of Nar Shaddaa because we all got really nostalgic at once.”)
You’ll be amused to know I thought of you when I was doing that jumping puzzle, as we both apparently lack the platformer gene. I groaned to my husband, “Ohgawd, do we have to Super Mario?” “Only a little Super Mario,” he says. It took me, maybe five tries to get up there? Better than usual, for me.
Do you recall if they added the “clues” to the Upper Promenade on N.S. just last night? I swear I didn’t see them the first night… then I went to Coruscant last night and found them there, and it seemed so obvious…
