    No. I doesn't. I just spent over an hour testing this as I detailed in my post. Standard does not function any differently than legacy in this regard unless you do not use mouse look. If you do use mouselook like every human being on earth, the only difference between the two movement...

    Ok thank you for the list bro I appreciate it, seems most of these options unlock later on. You say Fashion Accessories unlocked by a blue quest, but I can't find this quest anywhere. I searched for any quest with the word fashion in it or that unlocks fashion and nada. I'm not too worried...

    Ok help me out because i'm not seeing anything different between Standard Type and Legacy Type movement settings as far as autofacing or being able to ignore facing. Literally the only difference I am seeing is it changes what the S key does, from backing up slowly to turning your character...

    Ok ill try it but if the only advantage is ignoring facing and there is an option you can check that ignores facing then why would i disassociate my camera and player movement when i could just click that option?

    No? Ive never noticed this issue using overpower. I am tab targeting a lot to grab fresh spawns and keep them all clumped together so the group can aoe them, i rarely have my actual target in front of me and overpower works just fine. Actually all of my skills work even if targets arent...

    I honestly don't think ive ever pressed the s key in any game. Do you guys not use mouse look or something? This is clearly a setting for controllers to let them approximate kb/mouse.

    If you are the type of person who cant move out of an aoe without enabling an option to completely disassociate your camera controls from your movement controls then i wouldn't want to play with you either. Ignoring how dumbed down this games combat is so its playable by 90 year olds on a...

    Fuck no. I played around with that for 2 seconds and then noped out right away. And before anyone tries to convince me otherwise no, i will not used their legacy movement. Im not 8 years old and this isnt the first video game ive ever played. There is no scenario where im going to override...

    Ok some of these are obvious, I assume I'd unlock the various crafter logs by unlocking those crafting classes, etc but is there anything else of these greyed out options that are unlocked by blue+ quests, ones that i'm missing?

    yo why the fuck did nobody show me this video: AMOD please add this to the first post. Half my complaints about this game (ok well maybe not half) are covered by settings. like #1 pet peeve other than how slow I move is that tab targetting is retarded as fuck in this game, what the fuck...

    180 degrees? To be fair I just got in the zone of unlocking content with blue quests, this was one of them. I had to unlock hard mode dungeons and trials to continue msq/earn the token things to buy gear, and i had to level up my gc so i can sell my unused gear so i had to do fates anyway. So...

    Everyone saying "just wait til ____" question, no spoilers, but does the writing improve? I get the impression that in the expansions theres less "collect 10 bear asses" filler quests so you get more story nuggets and maybe start to give a shit about any of the characters or their problems...

    So I pretty much regret having skipped all the blue quests, Whoever suggested only doing MSQ + Class quests did me dirty. I spent most of the afternoon going around and doing all of them to unlock various dungeons and hard modes (many of these are required for the msq) and game features. I...

    finished the ARR now in the post ARR pre HW MSQ. Actually MSQ caught up and surpassed my actual level, hit the last quest in MSQ and was 49.5. Had to do a duty roulette and a hunt quest to hit 50 and continue. Since everything gets deleveled in MSQ anyway, there's really no point in skipping...

    to be fair I mostly skim this thread looking for answers to my newbie questions. people start talking about story or plot or throwing out random acronyms like i'm supposed to know what that means and it's all greek to me.

    You mean the "oh geez golly, the inquisitor who is drowning everyone to prove they aren't witches, that's the bad guy" quests? Yes I did that. Go recover a blimp so I can sail it into a fucking tempest, sure, sounds smoothbrain enough. Alright, whatever. Better than the last part which was...

    dude for the first month when this game actually had players, none of the invasion portals beyond the newbie ones worked, and OPR wasn't even in. You got all of your azoth from running quests, and that's exactly what the casual experience was, running quests. Yes general travel was hugely...

    New World

    Everything I mentioned affected the casual player. Azoth costs being slightly different depending on faction control had zero impact on casuals. The vast majority of casual players joined green because it was cool, and to a lesser extent purple, probably 65/35 split. zero casuals joined...

    nary a soul said "you know what, I love this game and everything about it, its design, gameplay, ui, combat, story, lore, just fucking love this game. But you know what, the azoth being 150 instead of 50 to travel is just a bridge too far, i'm going to quit because of that" People quit because...

    New World

    No this game failed because whoever was in charge kept changing what kind of game it was going to be, from an private server survival game to persistent online survival to battle royale and then finally to an MMO. Given how completely incompetent the devs were at launch I think its safe to say...

    Sure but I was referring to the above quote. Episode 6 was great for fans of the filoniverse and fans of the prequels. It was hot garbage for fans of the original trilogy.

    Going in to this episode knowing it was the finale after watching episodes 1-6 you are like how the fuck do they tie this all together? How do they connect these dots?

    I've been holding off posting my review/thoughts on the game and comparisons to other games because to me class design/combat is the most integral component to game design and I still won't know until 50-60 levels of tutorial are complete, but so far this is black desert but story gated.

    Thematically yes poison mauradon wing, i meant size and time, about 15 minutes and maybe 40 mobs. Its definitely a starter dungeon but more complex than the first 3 newbie dungeons which were 8 mobs and a boss.
