oh man, that raid was brutal. All of Shiny external gate-protecting animals dead, a number inside the gate dead, the gate itself destroyed, nearly lost a few pieces of wall and a dragon head (gasp!). My companion got down to about 1/3 health. We had several creatures somehow get inside the housing area... not sure how that happened, but thankfully I had enough additional creatures and a number of maxed-out Lians and similar that it didn't matter.

Some unrelated pics... I failed to take any during the fight.

I resent how everyone thinks that's the only kind of game I can play....even though that is one of my main issues with trying to get into Dragon Age: Inquisition right now the fact that combat is done in third person view but with 4 characters, and that I have trouble understanding who is doing what and keeping track of everything.

What's this raid? Is this a mechanic where you build a base and the bigger it is, the bigger the waves of assaults the game throws at you?

Hoping to jump back into the server soon, my hand has been playing up so can't really do the more twitch-based gaming of Conan at the moment

I ran the game on my laptop while abroad to Finland. That machine has GTX 960M. I got playable experience running it at resolution of 1280×720 on low-medium settings. Just for reference if anyone cares.

The raid is called The Purge and is a random event where creatures/people (controlled by the computer) attack your base. We had one today that was pretty easy. Sometimes the final wave will have a really big, really dangerous guy that shows up and then it can get a bit crazy.

I actually jumped on this morning and got my saddle made so can run around in style now. Peltz tried to clan me but the option wasn't coming up so might need your godlike hand Satis.

huh, weird. Sorry for all the pain in clanning. Just shout out when you're on and I'll be happy to add you. Shiny's been itching to play with you and chat about pets.

haha well if it's for shiny...

Left a small gift for you at your armorer bench.

ooh thanks... incentive to log on

Damn them bugs, sooo unsatisfying when the purge mobs either glitch or outright disappear. And this time it was the big boss as well.

Just managed to pop on and check, that's awesome, thank you Peltz

There is currently no point in trying to raise a greater hyena variant. It is bugged and the hyena is deleted from the pen. Explains why Pevil's hyena was missing. Known bug since January.

Aw man that sucks. Super lucky if I had one too as I just put basic food in there! *kicks bugs*

Well feeding the pup its mommy gives about 20% chance to get a greater hyena pet. Well I'm off to cry into my pillow after writing that .
