    I'm enjoying Lost Ark and called out New World for the dog shit it was.

    Who fucking cares? PVP is equalized, and everything else is pretty irrelevant whether you can do it faster.

    So do you not just keep upgrading the drops from the first chaos you run? Sounds like people are using different sets. I just figured you kept upgrading the same set until t3.

    I still want to stay in front of the masses though. Especially because I can tell doing pugs with people who are slower is going to suck. Like the first guardian, the first group I had we had made it to the 2nd phase and all the sudden it was just me an another guy left. Turns out you get 3...

    I was kind of bummed that our camping trip was happening this week, but then this morning I remembered that you get 5 days of backlog for stuff. Since this trip won't be that long, I'm only really missing out on daily quests. Good shit. Although I didn't use my power passes yet, so it'll just be...

    Speaking of, what are the downsides to using the power pass? Are there items you miss out on or something?

    Geez, what ilvl are you at that you're getting failures already? I'm on my phone, but my guess would be it wouldn't be until about 440 that they start failing, but the percentage is super low.

    I'm also running blade, and I think Vol mentioned it in game chat, but you're a boss killer. And it's noticeably stronger at that than other classes at 50, at least for me so far. I can chunk through 3 or 4 bars in a couple seconds with my skills off CD, whereas the rest of the group is...

    I got super lucky with my stuff so far it feels like. Won't matter in a week, but it's a nice start. Got a stone with 2 engravings that I needed, and got it 4-5 (had a 2nd to try too, but haven't yet). And the 4 one (super charge) I have an accessory with +1, so I'm sitting at 1-1-1 engravings.

    I think if people got to play the Indiana Jones dungeon earlier in the game, or the Helm's Deep one, they'd have a vastly different opinion on the game. Those were fucking sick. The clown one was also really well done, and the glowing eggs was fucking super weird.

    I said this earlier today. Was getting tutorial type quests into the 30's. It's like Luterra is a 2nd tutorial city.

    I'm almost 14 hours in and only level 35. Started skipping side quests around level 15. I suck.

    And here I was thinking they really did something great with the questing. It's still the annoying typical MMO stuff, but for instance, if you get one to talk to a bunch of NPC's, or gather material, you'll see about 10 nodes pop up and think "oh fuck." Except you generally only need 1...

    Saintone is currently level 44, and it's almost 10 hours into release. He had trouble getting on, so we'll say he's 9 and a half hours in. I mentioned it in chat, but I had his stream in the background and I had a good 15 minute head start on him. I was amazed how fast he blew past me. Sometime...

    Crown stream is live on Twitch, in case anyone sees this and wants the pet.

    Well, got to I think level 29, but that'll be it for me until next week. I may play more, but it sounds like the queues are awful, and we're leaving tomorrow. Good luck to everyone!

    The only reason I decided to give this a chance is that Amazon is only the publisher. And even then I'm still kind of iffy about it based on all the fuckups so far. The game looks amazing though, and I did have fun for a few weeks in New World. I really just want a game that lasts more than a...

    I'm just wondering when decrypt becomes available. If it's exactly at the start time I'm going to be annoyed.

    Well that's going to be a giant fuckup if it happens. Why is AGS so shit at this?

    I'm pretty sure the ninja was a teenage girl who stole the costume, and "Lalo" is just a good dude who likes swords, and had nothing to do with any crimes.

    Honestly, I was considering getting a founders pack and playing tomorrow, but if you can't even get the very first patch notes right, I've got very little faith in this launching well. AGS really, really shit the bed with New World and this reeks of the exact same incompetence I saw there.

    Not sure if anyone else has watched this, but what the fuck at the 2nd episode? This seems like some stupid Seth Rogen shit. I'm assuming people will write it off as "Tommy Lee on drugs," but that was...fucking weird and just...what the fuck?

    Now I'm a bit concerned. Seems like every issue over the past week they've walked back as an error. There was the twitch thing with founders packs, the founders pack being on the first character and then not, and they can't even get patch notes right? What the fuck is going on?

    I guess. But as someone who never played before, feels like skipping content for the sake of skipping it. I get that it appears they want everyone to be at around the same content in every region, and I know I can still do earlier content, but just feels like I'm not getting the whole...

    Yeah, I don't know much about this game, but if it's 100% success from 1-15 on both t1 and t2...what's the fucking point? May as well just skip them entirely.

    I guess my question was more about how "twitchy" or sweaty the combat is, based on @Kirun's comment. Basically, if I could hold my own in BDO, is Lost Ark sweatier?

    Also based on that spreadsheet, Regulus has overtaken as the highest pop server by a lot. But maybe people will see that and go elsewhere. How does this one compare to BDO @Kirun? I loved BDO (played it on two separate occasions), but the grind for gear is what broke me. I did grind the shit...

    From what everyone has said, the population doesn't really matter. Zones will get instanced after about 30 players, with potentially hundreds of instances of the same zone on a single server.

    Just FYI, you can do the pre-load even without a founder's pack.

    Their logic is "it's followed by a recession." Uh, yeah, no kidding...when you're at essentially max unemployment, the only place to go is down. They also kept saying "1950's" as if that's supposed to make people scared. I'd imagine most people would love to revisit the 1950's in just about...

    Same here. I skipped around this super long video with Stoopzz and Saintone, and even with them being two people who are super hardcore into the game, it seems like every single class they were like, "eh, I didn't have that much fun on this class." It was kind of bizarre. So I just waffle back...

    There a way to link to that as opposed to embed? That's awful in the tiny window it embeds in.

    I was hopeful at the start when they said it turned into a "bigger project" that they not only watched all 11 Bruce Willis movies, but branched out and watched a bunch of other actors who were doing it. Instead, they watched 3.

    Depends on where you go, but I've seen literally every pack listed as the best value and worst value. Except platinum which people all say is worth it if you're willing to plunk down the cash.
