I’m looking at the new very expensive stygian tomb bundle with the sarcophagus and the new ornate stygian boxes. My character in game is convinced of Stygian superiority in all things and I have one of the largest pyramids on my server (1513-pve). I’m on the fence about buying this bundle and I have about 7 days left to decide. I was wondering if I could get other exiles perspectives to help me make that decision.
Yea I purchased the set.
It’s good for my purge base. The theme I chose was a golden Derketo pyramid. It’s all Stygian/sorcery themed so the throne and sarcophagus is kind off a must for me. The price is definitely on the steep Side I only wish they had a 700 Crom coin bundle so I didn’t have to get the 1,200 bundle for that extra 150 Crom I needed.
I want that sarcophagus a lot. Ive been in love with Stygian stuff since the start of age of sorcery. But this bundle is too expensive otherwise and thus I will skip it and wait til the sarcophagus arrives alone.
If this had been available when chapter 4 first arrived, I might’ve been hyped enough to buy it, but waiting for SEVERAL MONTHS for something they showed in their showcase is too much. There’s a lot of game stuff to buy at end of the summer already and paying an amount I could get a full game with for a single frikken sarcophagus is too much for me, no matter how much I love Stygia.
My interest in playing the game has dropped like 95% anyway since then because explosives are frikken stupid and the pvp is completely unbalanced.
This set is a must if you have a pyramid build or if you’re into the whole stygian theme. It’s a bit expensive but it’s definitely worth it except the clan emblems and the tiny cat “statue”.
We’ve all been dealing with the floor bug on the server. When I fall through and need to log off I go to the cellar of my bar. The Styxview Tavern. It stands right next to my pyramid and I can be safe from the elements there.
Sorry, the price is a bit too steep.
The only things worth while are the standing sarc and the throne.
The cat statue is woefully undersized and the jars you can easily use other deco items instead.
The lantern is just a remodel of the genie lamp from the tura set iirc.
I’ll get the throne standalone and the sarcophagus by itself and make do with using makeshift replacements for the rest.
I made a giant pyramid and easily used a lot of the mentioned replacements.
Though the throne and sarc are not easily replaced by something else and will be a seperate purchase.
I am not buying that bundle not at that price, not for just the two items i can’t make up.
I think the jars are pretty cool, a bit too small, but still nice. The oil lamp looks so much better than the turanian lamp. But I agree, the price is a bit too steep. You can always wait for them to come out individually but as I mentioned, you’re probably gonna pay more eventually.
What really adds stress to any server, from pve to pvp is the bad quality of the servers and each update. Yesterday almost all the servers were almost unplayable. I did a session on twitch “how to do a good start on pvp servers” and though the server had 5 persons population and some sandstone boxes (looked like a totally wiped server) it was lagging like hell and the sprint bug returned. I had to constantly log out and log in to remove the bug .
IF Funcom decides to upgrade the quality of these servers and optimize mechanisms correctly, then we can speak about player abuse. For now all we can speak about is players suffering, nothing else!!!
This happens on my private server with 2 people. We don’t have enormous builds, we don’t have every square of the map built up, we even try to not have overlapping lights. Correlation does not equal causation and @Kikigirl is right; your posts are off topic and do nothing to help or add to the discussion.
