That's fucking great. I wish I had some awesome PVP revenge story, but I'm terrible at it.

I don't remember many specifics - I didn't play in alpha or beta, really had no idea what I was doing, and was just following green quests. As I did say in the quoted post though, I fought the boss at level 14 (I think). I was running in crap gear. I just used my CC as needed to heal up...

I installed this last night, and picked Rocket - lots of fun. The game is perfect for just hopping in and killing dudes, and right now (got to level 14), it's waaay too easy. I know that's common in ARPGs, and D3 did the same - where it was faceroll until like level 45, and even then it was...

Again, at least for cat race, that is not the case. You will need to go to Silent Forest for your 50. The boss is also soloable for some classes (I did it as a 14 Daggerspell). If you're trying to solo the boss and not even coming close, pay attention to the quest - you get an item that you...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll probably give it a romp this evening.

Lol, I don't know if you guys are kidding or not, but in case you're not - the 8fps is on the Vanguard one. (Unless it's on the Pantheon one too and I'm just missing it)

How do people feel about this game as a time-waster when you just want to kill things for a little here and there? It's hard to get an up-to-date review of the game, because there's so many older reviews out there. Apparently this was very negatively received at launch. I've watched/read some...

As I said - you might need help for the last few gilda. I was able to solo though, as a Daggerspell, everything in the directed green quest chain. Then the quest chain ends, and there's another step or two in the Silent Forest - that one I had help with. I didn't try it solo, but I think it...

I'm going to take the gameplay mentioned in that update with a huge grain of salt. It reminds me of GW2: Pre-launch: your actions will affect how the zone lives! Save the farmer, or let his land burn? Change is for all to see in the zone, no phasing! Post-launch: oh it's just yo-yo quest...

No, you can rush the green/gilda quests, skipping everything else. Many of us did it at launch. As he said though, you might need some help for those last few gilda.

Sorry to derail from the "inane tired argument about how successful a vanilla EQ clone would or wouldn't be", but I was watching some streams of Albion Online, and it's "progression" system made me think a lot of how they talk about EQ Next's should be. You have a "destiny board", which is...

Prime-time still has plenty of queues for patrons. It's just not worth bitching about. Evenings (worse on Friday and Saturday) are about 15-30 minutes. Yeah, the opposing guild just had bad luck on peacetime hitting when their farm matured. The peacetime is very much needed though, or else the...

Who won the land?

Do you seriously not know how to open a jpeg and save it as png? Lol. How is this even possible. Anyways, here you go:http://i.imgur.com/fLCak6I.png

Fall damage is nice for getting around, but Drop Back can accomplish a lot of the same usefulness (mainly "I'm gliding in and don't want to wait an hour to circle down, fuck it, I'm dropping now").

...pretty sure neither of those things are true.

Yeah, last night was frustrating when our "allies" let us fight off the reds, took our spot, then wouldn't leave.

Yeah, it's really not P2W, I don't think. I guess it could change depending on what you think "winning" is. For most that means gear progression, and for that you're going to be fighting the RNG and materials much much more than labor to get the item you want. Sure, more labor pots help, but...

What P2W stuff?

Well shit, there's the AFK character select fix. There goes me being able to play in the evenings at all probably, hah. Because fuck staring at a queue window for 2 hours. Maybe things have died down enough though that it'll be reasonable.

I would not say the queues are gone. Yesterday afternoon (like 3:30) I had a 30 minute queue. Played for an hour, ate supper, came back to a 2 hour queue. It's not the insane crap of 5-15 hours, but 2 hours for "normal people with families" is a *lot* of your playtime for during the week...

Heh, think you missed the joke. I was saying you were goofing off on the internet instead of working, while on the clock.

As you post on a MMO forum in the middle of the work day ;-) (Obviously I'm doing it too, but I don't claim to be making an honest living!)

Have you actually played the game past the safe zones? It can be almost impossible to get a quest done in later zones if you aren't running with friends. You can easily get stuck fighting PKs (later zones are typically opposite faction), and not really being able to progress. It quickly becomes...

Cata is free with the base game now. Has been for a while.

Yeah - we got rolled pretty good on Sunday when we tried it. We had some decent fights. I'm not saying it's a loss already by any means - I'm just saying the initial signs aren't what I was hoping for. In Hasla they did a LOT of "shrine turtling" on late Sunday. Even when they outnumbered...

I'm really curious as to how PVP is gonna play out on our server. Reds so far seem to be pretty big cowards, even when they outnumber us 2 to 1. When Hasla went peacetime tonight, they outnumbered greens 4 to 1.

The server is full. See the restrictions list, with the dumb little bubbles? That's what you can't create there.

Do you have two characters somewhere else? It's restricted to two characters game wide, I think (without a marketplace purchase). Edit: And just to double check - they did fix the afk character select sitting, didn't they? Or did I just hit some bad luck? Was in this afternoon (40 person...

Tips for leveling: 1. NEVER LEVEL ALONE 2. NEVER LEVEL ALONE 3. NEVER LEVEL ALONE Aside from that, here's some other tips 1. Never level alone - find a buddy. Make a buddy. Go back to quests you've finished, and oh noez, you might have to help them catch up to you. a. Most gank...

Heh, not going to call names (I see his member name on the board, but doesn't look like he did anything but register and never log in again), but I was in HF with an all PRX group, and one of our DPS was constantly pulling instead of letting the tank manage it, breaking CC, looting during...

Because Korean MMO. Same reason crafting is all RNG, instead of "oh I can actually make the item I want to make". Same reason upgrading an item, the higher you keep upgrading, has a chance toDESTROYthe item you're trying to upgrade.

Is the offline/online labor regen in the other versions, or just ours? It's a super dumb piece of game design, but "asian mmo" is mostly made of super dumb game design.

Eventually it's going to hit mass saturation and queues will never end. That'll be pretty awesome. Although they're likely to have the character select kick by then working. Can't wait to see what "log your toon in, run a few circles, go back to character select" bots people make!

Hah - and people like him are why F2P models can work. His $1000 a month covers 65 other people compared to a traditional sub model. I'm sure he's rare, but still.

Wow, that's hard to grok. I make a stupid amount of money (or so I thought), and I' a big believer in "spend your money how you fucking want", but even with all that I think my head starts to turn somewhere around $200-300 a month on gaming.

Any suggestions on how to tell if a piece of gear is an upgrade? I'm admittedly very very used to the WoW model, where you just use whatever has the biggest main DPS stat. But a lot of gear I'm getting from later quest rewards has less (sometimes significantly so) of my main dps stat...

It's 10 per 5 when online. 5 per 5 offline. The fact that char select gives you "online" levels of regen is news - I had heard people even say the exact opposite.

Something I'm surprised noone has mentioned. I almost didn't mention it myself. Last night I logged to character select at about 10:30 PM. I logged back in this evening at around 3 PM. My labor went from about 1500 to 3600. Do the math :P.

Yeah, that's an old comment. He recanted somewhat already: Could we please get some communication on what's being done about the server capacity issue? - Page 10
