The feb 28th day was the will have alpha out by this date dead line. They beat that by almost a month so that number is not really meaningful at this time. They are saying that march 31st is the deadline for going into beta it may do it sooner but that is the deadline for closed beta. from the...

Also in theory they are going to allow cooprative areas so if you can join claims from two or three people you could make a pretty healthy sized town/fortress.

Discovery gives you more of the rare stuff and the harvest is more bulk stuff per wack which is really nice for collecting bulk of things like stone and dirt when building pyramids haha.

If you are going to be a snake handling charlatan you are supposed to milk the snakes first before you come out so they don't have much/any venom left so you can look super godly and shrug off their bites.

Kinda funny I am intentionally not really going out of my way to craft high quality tools just reasonably good ones. I don't want to get to used to turbo pick the destroyer in alpha only to have it wiped going into beta and probably for release as well.

This is why I am looking forward to the attached claim this way I can work perfecting my main building and still have a nice area where I can work on weird designs and try to do stuff.

oh dear god I am going to have to build the mega sifter arn't I. Just the thought of the lumber murder necessary to get 100 burrled logs is a bit daunting.

Only trick is if you see red in the vein move along as no sapphire will be there. The big problem with sapphire is currently its voxels are dirt textured. So you simply cannot tell where it is. Basically if you get a cobalt node with no hint of rubicite mine the ever living jesus out of that...

Movement enhancing upgrades I think like flight/superjump stuff like that eventually.

Yup this is pretty much what I am doing. My tungesten one is not horrible but my silvered steel one is really good so I just use the latter on everything I can and switch to tungsten as necessary.

God I almost hope I don't get something like that in beta. It would make going to live so very sad and painful if I could not keep it.

I believe they said they can but currently the biomes are very simple and they don't have water/lava/or transpariencies active.

The install itself is small but keep an eye on the cache. It is not super aggressive about clearing the cache out so if you just butterfly from one map to another and one world to another it can bloat up a bit. My install size hovers around 19GB with the cache and install.

HAHA exactly. Eventually people are going to have to be spelunking in caverns deep below the ground to get the good stuff and by that time they want to implement falling damage and environmental damage from things like lava and probably monsters as well. I would not get to hung up quite yet by...

haha lava eruption is not yet implemented. I am really curious how and if they will do water/lava it sounds like they do plan on implementing them but I am curious if players will get tools for using them in their constructions.

Also since the plan is pretty much to not have tiered zones but to have the higher level materials found deeper in the earth harvesting those rares in theory is going to get at least a good bit harder than just running around spotting a node half a mile away and beelining to it. Right now we...

Well given that all the resources pretty much are consumable in this game probably not to big of a deal especially if it lets people start creating crazy stuff faster. Really seeing people making insane castles and things are what is going to make SOE money with landmark so anything that helps...

Copper usually ends with tin but can end with tier one gems rarely. If you see tin you won't get the gems from that node.

Yup the tier 4 gems are going to be an issue until tier 4 areas go in. Its like mining for tier 3 stuff in a tier 2 zone you can find it but the rare stuff is a PITA to locate and there is not much of it when you find it.

Hehe going back for more tin to make one of these buggers tonight I have zero luck finding people with them.

You have to use the build tools in the main part of your claim. You cannot use your pick or axe inside the heart of your claim only the boundry areas.

One thing I know helps is if you wear two of the founder + crafting bracelets seems to at least skew the odds in your favor. Some theories using a higher level forge helps too but gathering the wood for these things is slow enough I don't think there has been enough testing to tell.

Lol nice. I went from like the worst god damn iron pick EVER to one of the higher end blue silversteel picks and god damn is it noticable. Crafting quality has SERIOUS and noticeable impacts on performance in game. I was wondering how they would implement it but god damn when you get a great...

Landmark is going to look pretty interesting once stuff you build stops poofing or getting healed over. I am starting to see some pretty impressive structures but most folks are not dropping anything other than the most basic crafting stations for fear of them being eaten by the servers.

I would imagine they are going to have to give pretty much all monsters some kind of hulk smash special attack where if there is a wall or barrier they cannot get through and cannot path around they hulk smash and just bust their way through.

Well for eqnext in theory they are doing the map of antonica so the engine should be capable of more than just squares its a matter of what they are attempting for landmark if they will implement bigger landmasses. Currently without any fast travel if the maps were much bigger then they are it...

My friend has the same issue most of the time only his add works but sometimes he can get the other ones working too. Its been posted as an issue and pony tail is even commenting on it in twitter as they are trying to investigate the issue.

This happens to me once in a while. Its a reported bug. Relogging sometimes unsticks it as does leaving your claim and mining for a bit. That is what I normally do when it strikes I just go away from the claim a bit do some harvesting and it usually starts working again. It is really annoying...

He really does have his game face on for sure.

ah was reading that massively article. They just greatly underestimated how scattershot and inefficient peoples plot placements would truly be. One thing they may want to consider is for claims make each island a grid and lock in where you can drop your claims. It would at least somewhat boost...

I am sorta curious if they just calculated what the maximum number of claims could be on a server if everybody aligned them correctly on a grid for optimal placement. Given how not on a grid and all over the damn place people are spraying their claims they are likely seeing significantly less...

He's a lumber jack and he's okay!

Actually from what I have seen they likely are still there just burried. I have helped undig three peoples crafting stations that could only be seen by a hint of smoke coming from the ground.

I can't stress this enough. Focus on upgrading your mining pick at least to iron or the step above it before worrying about constructing pretty much anything building wise. Buildings require a lot of materials and the improved mining tools are SO much more efficient.

I imagine some will although at least the lower tier stuff is so common for the most part that finding materials is not much of an issue at this time so much as just the time spent wacking away at it. I had made myself a pretty nifty pyramid with underground lair but they had to wipe the zone I...

Plus side of voxels most of the stuff that takes up a ton of the space for modern MMO is the art assets and with the voxel engine most of that is server side and not something you need to install on your system.

Haha go go captain awesome pants!.

as "sucky" as questing was in vanilla compared to what it is now it was 1000% percent better than the questing systems used prior to it. It let you at a glance know if somebody had quests for you and you did not have to play 1000 questions with an NPC trying to guess what the hot key words were...

Eq2 had the idea of something like this of special crafting tools you had to adventure to find. It was pretty limited but pretty fun when we had a dungeon group go into a dungeon for the sole purpose of guarding a tradeskiller while he worked making new weapons for us and fending off attacks of...

Clearly montly updates are possible as GW2 has shown. Frankly though I would be fine even if they did the update every few months with an expansion cycle like eq1 or eq2. If you can splonk out big expansions every 8-9 months the boredom factor should not be a problem. Wows problem is slow...
