Dem Bones.
With the upcoming 1.3 patch bringing Land of the Dead and many other nifties, it seems Mythic has again sent out care packages to the community. This time in the form of skulls and miscellaneous bones with codes to decipher the hieroglyphics some fansites have received. Read about the blog challenge here.
So far, three sites have received the Cartouches and six blogs have gotten some of keys to decode them. (The following are the North American ones only. Some European blogs and sites have received presents as well.)
Cartouches:
kotaku.com, mmorpg.com, and massively.com
Keys:
Tome of Knowledge, Da'Toughest, Epic Slant, Keen and Graev, Rainbow MMO, Werit, and Bio Break
I can't wait to see the others that pop up over the next couple weeks.
Here's to Mythic for their entertaining ways to get the community hyped up, and of course for puzzles, cool stuff, and fun times!
Edit: Added another Cartouche site and three more blogs with keys to help decode them.
This can’t be right.
This post reminded me of something I witnessed last night during some scenarios. It may be that I just don't know of this spiffy secret move, but I didn't think it was possible for Destruction to get to the Supply Room in the Gates of Ekrund scenario before Order could. I had just run up the ramp to capture it with my group when I saw that a Choppa (or some Orc class) had already gotten there.
Then during either the same scenario or a different one (but still Gates of Ekrund) we were fighting near that same flag when it seemed like a Choppa (?) came out of nowhere. Now at the time I waved it off, thinking he just came around and flanked from behind. It was strange enough though, that I'm still not sure how he actually did that. Was it cheating, some sweet trick, or did he just run up from behind?
I can't imagine that Mythic would put that sort of thing in the game even if it was a super exclusive power/unlock/achievement.
Hm. I'll have to pay more attention the next time to see if they're cheating or not.
Please enlighten me if you know anything I don't.
