    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    The answer to your question is on this page. Geezus. Not to mention obvious. Nah, man, we're gonna keep your money and wipe your purchased items, yo.

    ROFL. So, in their mind, the trial/jail systemisn'tpart of the game? Or is it just not "fair"? So, who's the carebear??

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    In the livestream, Omeed specifically states that templates will absolutely never be wiped. I assume that means that templates will never be wiped, but who knows? And yeah, that's the talk on the official forums, a lot less motivation to bother logging in.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    11:40 in the top video in the list. The 1:06 duration one. Was obviously oversight. And that's putting it nicely. I can tell you what happened, other than the obvious financial motive. The team finally got around to doing the math on material value for selling to npc merchants to...

    Let's take a course in Development 101. Here's what the FAQ and dev forum posts said up until today: ?While we will do everything in our power to minimize wipes, it is important to note that Closed Beta is a testing period. Unexpected behaviors of players and technology may occur...

    Yeah. The issue I have with the decision isn't that it's financially motivated, that's a given. My problem is that they are so damn stupid it took them this long to figure it out. Wasted a lot of time mining nearly a mil obsidian, was waiting til after the cave claim wipe to get started. Now, no...

    Typical. Go from "we won't wipe anything but claims unless we absolutely have to" to "wiping everything for open beta" no reason given. I can understand wiping items/progression. But resources? Ha. The only motivation there is money.

    Considering how much he likes to make people fly, seems like a good setup for someone to eventually punt him out the moon door.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    He's just a moron who misinterpreted what the devs have said. He refers to "their" (SOE) ideal and "those ofusin closed beta." As of right now,there is no planned progression wipe.Only claims. The Landmark team is extremely communicative with the community. If you don't see it on the main...

    If you kill him there the Ring of Blades he drops is +1. Also, he's completely optional, so you can wait as long as you want to initiate. I always use a bow on the bomb guy.

    So, women are bitchin about convicted killers/rapists doing what they do, but where was the outcry when Theon got his dick cut off? That's ok, I guess? Hypocrisy at it's finest.

    Drops are weird. Little more than halfway through my first playthrough, and started a second. First guy has cleared Tower of Flame, and gone through Wharf quite a few times and hasn't seen an old knight's shield or sea bow. Second guy went through each like 4-5 times, got 3 shields and 2 bows.

    I just work around it. Since you have two different places where you can bind keys for light attack I bound one to E. So, when I need to swing as fast as possible I just use that, and it's also great for W+E for guard break.

    Witch-ex-machina, as usual. Wonder how he's going to be a threat now, though? There's no more white oak, as far as we know. Unless the mystical writing on that box is connected to some (original) vampire slaying juju.

    I have the dragonslayer bow already. Which of the arrows will 1 shot them? Because 1 shot is usually all you get before they lemming.

    I either use a longsword, which has a good low sweep, or an overhand pummel from a greatsword. The main problem is that the damn things are nearly always 2 feet from a fucking cliff. Half the time, I give it one try and then just say fuck it, it's not worth the aggravation.

    The time should be much shorter on the early turns. If it takes you more than 5 seconds to decide what to play on turns 1-4/5, then you should probably go play something that isn't quite so taxing on your mental capacity.

    Terrible dex scaling? You must meancreativedex weaponbalancing, right? Cause ain't nothing wrong with this game, bro. I'm sure the devs only did it so you'd have the pleasure of trying other types of weapons, get ya out of your comfort zone, ya know?

    Like I said, it's not just the speed, which is barely different. (Looks to me like less than a second per 4 swings, that's a very small difference per swing) It's the tiny bit of downside to all the upside. I used katanas in DS1, so it wasn't an issue, and greatswords had more downside there as...

    Adaptability speeds up shield raise. Are you still basing this off memory? Cause I've had the game open this whole time and I've been testing. The differences you're talking about are miniscule. Also, the shield raise time with the bastard sword isn't as bad as it could be, since you are raising...

    It's not a second, it's quite a bit less. Milliseconds. If you don't want to waste them, that's your business.

    It's hard to get an exact comparison, since he does the full 4 swings with the longsword, but only 3 with the bastard. Even so, the difference is less than 1 second for 4 swings. And the argument is: "milliseconds? lolwut, the big weapons are slow as fuck and have huge recovery." "The...

    Slow compared to what? Next time you're in game, do 4 light attacks with any greatsword, then do 4 with a longsword. The broadsword seems a tiny bit faster then the longsword.

    LOL? Here: Dark Souls 2 Bastard Sword Move Set - YouTube Seems atinybit slower than mine, but he's recording the moveset, so may not have been clicking as fast as he could. Yeah, just tested it. The window for clicking for the next swing starts really early (I can get it clicking before...

    I have 4 greatswords including the bastard, they all have the same speed.

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah, in DS1 the bastard sword etc had longer recovery times, there was that slow "mmmph" dragging it back up to your shoulder. DS2 doesn't have that. Basically, there's a 25% stamina cost increase, and an extremely minimal loss in speed, in exchange for more damage, and more reach, which can...

    Dark Souls 2

    So I remapped attack to mousewheel down and ran some test and the only real difference I can see is my 2h get 4 swings per stamina bar and 1h get 5. To be clear, I'm not talking about ultra-greatsword type weapons, but bastard/dranglaec etc.

    Hmmm, that sounds interesting. There's a few shitty workarounds using AHK, that I haven't wanted to fuck with just yet, but if it will make my 1h weapons swing faster I might just have to. Thanks for the tip.

    Wow, dude. Thank you for diagnosing my MPD. I had no idea I had written a post where I said the game was too hard. I better call a shrink and get on meds right away. @Skanda Actually, they are.Too poor to upgrade right now.
