    There's a good chance that there won't actually BE any low pop servers until a while after launch. The servers only show low/med/high and RU doesn't have a ton of people playing and they're both always high pop. But, like I've said, I have no idea what kind of capacity an LA server has, I've...

    Nah. It depends on the island. Some island stuff you want a lot of people, make sure you get there early and zone in as soon as the island pops up, if you want fewer people just wait a bit and go in with the stragglers. It's really not something to worry about. Most of that shit you only do once...

    New channels are auto generated when one fills up, you can change every few seconds. There's a list where you can choose which shows a red/yellow/green dot indicating how full each is. You can't change channels on islands, it automatically puts you in one when you zone in, I think.

    I can't decide which was funnier for me. The red lion from Voltron, or those fucking cunts in Riverdale. Also, I'm someone who, with a very few exceptions, absolutely despises long intros. Give me a 3 second title drop and move on. That being said, the first thing I did after I watched the...

    Queues for dungeons and raids, and solo queue for pvp are not server specific. Premades are, but there's an LFG on the queue UI, where you can make a group and people can apply, that's server only.

    Everything important is cross-server. Just can't mail, or join a guild on another server.

    Why not just play on PC? And have access to all the mods? https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/xcom-2-collection-pc/ Is the PS version cheaper than $11 bucks with the expansions and all the dlc?

    It's a little different. The % is helpful, but not a huge difference. And buying costumes off the AH is easy and won't break your bank. Legendary costumes are pretty expensive, but normal ones aren't and I have normal costumes on all 8 of the alts on my main account, even though I don't really...

    As long as your ping is like, a bit under 100 it shouldn't be noticeable at all. It's just in RU where it's 156+ that it's a bit of an issue.

    Friday. Bastard. Lol. I don't need a headstart, I'll be ahead of all but the whaliest of whales anyway. The only thing I use RC for is character slots, and I can always get those later.

    Costumes add to your main attribute which is used to calculate your attack power. Normal ones add 4% total (it's per piece, usually 1% each, but some have chest/legs as 1 piece for 2%), and legendary adds 8%.

    Pretty much. It's just, if you're gonna spend $15 on that, it's loads better to just spend another $10 and get the RC, the consumables and the silver. As @Pyros was saying, there's a few things you can squeeze in before reset, but it's insignificant really. You could maybe get a few epona...

    Why bronze? All you get is a piddly headstart, a useless title, a useless pet (you get a free pet at level 50 for doing the pet tutorial), and the 30 day aura.

    Lost Ark Online

    Unless you're buying the useless $15 pack you're mainly paying for Royal Crystals. And the bit of silver and healing pots/consumables are somewhat helpful(saves you a bit of gold). The headstart is just a worthless bonus companies throw in to add perceived value. Yes, occasionally it will give...

    One of the issues with LA is that the skills they start you with usually aren't that great, especially with not enough skill points to get some tripods going. You shouldn't have any problem at later levels. My Sorc absolutely annihilates mobs in Chaos dungeons.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    If you do the DLC on hard mode you get another level of the minigame (all your opponents will be that same level). You have to beat them all if you want all of Yuffie's manuscripts.

    Not really. Imagine if in, say WoW for instance, you could only run 2 normal dungeons per day, and only gather crafting mats for like 30 minutes per day, could only craft a limited number of items per day, could only earn a limited amount of gold per week. etc etc.

    I laughed because the only "world" firsts for LA happen in Korea, where the game has been out for 3 years, and will always be ahead of us.

    No. The engravings available on ability stones are completely rng. And as you can see, so is the end result. Paying cash to get gold to buy stones off the AH is pretty stupid. There's no way to pay to get exactly what you want. Once you start reforging an ability stone it's bound to you...

    The only difference in the cash shop in our version is that you can buy most shit with blue crystals. Which cost gold, which is a rare resource that you're not going to have enough of to be buying much BC. For anyone that thinks LA is p2w then this will be too.

    Another thing to keep in mind about engravings. This is a recent change in RU that I found out about the hard way. When you get a box of chooseable ones from an event, that box is account bound. But, when you pull the books out, they won't be bound. BUT, they recently made it so that if you mail...

    Class engravings are varied in their usefulness. Often, using non class engravings (there are many) is better for certain classes/activities. Learning 1 rank of an engraving requires 20 books of that engraving. Not sure how many ranks we'll have, RU currently has 4. Books are rare/rng drops, and...

    It's completely free. Nothing wrong with playing casually. The heart of what makes the game fun is the combat, and having high GS doesn't really change that. Just check out that class vid I posted yesterday and pick something to try out. See how you like it. The game/client is extremely...

    The only issue with skipping all side quests is that some of those quests become your dailies at 50, and doing them is what unlocks them. Plus, there's no real reason to rush, you're only saving yourself a few hours, it's just not that big a deal. There's one quests on the first continent where...

    You don't need any alts at all. But, if you don't have any your progress will be extremely slow.

    ProTip: As soon as you hit 50, start making alts and boosting them in your estate. When you grind shit for mats with your alts, take the unbound mats you get and DON'T use them on your main. Sell them on the AH. Do this mostly at t2. You'll get yourself a decent starting bankroll, while those...

    Post 50 is a grind, but the grind is the waiting, not the effort or time spent doing shit. You can do all the shit you can do for mats and shit every day in a very short time, then you're stuck til the next day. That's the whole premise the game's profit is based around. People spend cash cause...

    As I already mentioned, 1-50 is much more painful than 50+. Trust me on this. Or, do it 15 or so times, then we can discuss it again, lol. Granted, in RU 1-50 is quite a bit easier now, since they deleted a bunch of the sidequests, but it's still a slog. Tiers 2 and 3 don't really add as much...

    Introducing the in-game boosts for gold in RU and KR made sense, those versions have been running for years and had already sold plenty of boosts. While I like that AGS is adding it at launch, it's still a dumb move. They could have added cash boosts in like a month or so, then the gold boost...

    I'm leaning towards it. Ping isn't really an issue, I'm in Dallas, so East or West makes no difference, and doing my servers/alt thing for gold would make more sense on East, since West only has 3 for whatever reason. Only worry with that is like a year from now if they have to merge some...

    Actual good news, amazing, lol. I was so pissed when RU hyped this up, then a couple weeks later changed their mind and said nope, with their bullshit excuses. This is the one thing that could actually convince me to play in NA. The gold cost is no issue. I too am shocked that AGS would do this...

    Yeah, that's what I would have done too. I assume that Smilegate wants to get all the non-KR regions caught up to each other in time for the next big update to be pushed out to all of them simultaneously.

    Lost Ark Online

    I think launching with t2 and adding t3 in 3 months would have been the smarter move, for a variety of reasons. Throwing in early t3 might add a few raids, but it makes t1 and t2 completely irrelevant content that people will just want to rush through as fast as possible.
