The plat pack is currently #1 on steam, the gold pack is #3, the bronze pack #4, and the silver pack #5. It's an MMO that is being advertised by Amazon with a launch event that is including hundreds of streamers (they even got Krip to stop playing Hearthstone for an hour). Amazon has also stayed...

BDO is significantly more twitch. Lost Ark plays like a more traditional MMO (e.g., the complicated stuff is less about your reaction time and more about your ability to memorize increasingly challenging patterns and learning how to maximize your DPS in spite of those patterns occurring). PVP...

Given what occurred to him with NW, I'm going to bet he ends up switching servers at the last moment. He knows his hoards will follow up and whatever he picks will be high pop. We'll see tomorrow (part of the fun of an MMO launch if anything!).

Just a quick note for those rolling on Regulus: Discord has been set up with some channels for us (thanks @Alkorin). Please go ahead and use it with your in-game name (when available) for an invite tomorrow. Will be on all day and it's far easier to keep track that way than in game messages.

This is too general of a question to provide a specific answer so I'm going to recommend Battlemaster since I haven't seen many people play it and their buffs are amazing. Both assassins are viable and mostly come down to a question of personal preference. Deathblade ends up feeling less Asian...

This is really the thing that Lost Ark has going for it which makes up for all of the sins that would drive me away from it. Like, I absolutely fucking hate daily quests and alts, so you would think I'd hate the game but the class design & combat are absolutely top notch. It's difficult to...

Gonna be interesting to see just how popular a launch this is. I've genuinely been surprised that the plat pack has been #2 for this long (as opposed to the Gold pack at #3 or Bronze pack at #4). I think it just goes to show how much people want an MMO to play and are comfortable spending money...

From a plan standpoint, I should be on Tuesday and will make the guild once I have sufficient silver to do so. You can go ahead and send Voldeth a message as a result (provided I get my name!). Will update the thread with others as I'll promote a fair amount of forum folks to be able to also...

Both are great choices, provided there's an understanding that Paladin is support and Sorc will be overpopulated (but insanely good) to start with. There's been no news relating to when the classes will be released however they're supposed to provide the roadmap (which should include the...

With the insane naming limitations the options are really limited.

Scouter not being a launch option with T3 available is a crime.

Who doesn't like a good old fashioned spreadsheet: Path to the legion Would certainly not use it for the average player but for anyone looking to get a sense of 'things to do' this can help a bit.

There's an amalgam of things that would result in (and has resulted in) having people check out of RU, among others; - Knowledge Transfer. This is something RU backed out of doing because they like selling boosts. It's the exact shit that most people would have thought Amazon would have done...

This. With the limited population at launch for guilds, trying to latch onto someone else would prevent being able to tag everyone. As for alts, that makes sense (hadn't even thought about that) but we'll see how many people we end up with.

The plan is to stick with Regulus. It's always about finding that balance between 'overcrowded queues' & 'not enough people on a server to feel like an MMO'. In the case of LA though, as Raes mentioned, the zone channel tech is top notch and there won't be an issue on that front whatsoever...

Premade pvp is impacted by server selection, as you stated. This is where you set up groups before queuing in (e.g. for a tournament or to practice against a specific team). All ranked queues are solo. Islands are mostly soloable content, especially with T3 being available. It's in fact...

They've pretty much nailed absolutely everything possible in this last week (DX11, balance patch status, Knowledge Transfer) and I was rather convinced they would fuck things up completely, so I am pleasantly surprised. I reserve the right to retract this statement if they fuck up the cash shop...

Just need to convince @Cinge now.

US West & US East are separate regions, which is why rolling on East (with the abundance of servers) instantly becomes the correct decision.

Not going to lie, I was tempted to originally ask if that was going to be the official nail in the "you're joining us" coffin. See you on Tuesday.

In additional 'unexpected good news' DX11 will be part of launch:

This is really not accurate at all. The producer has already stated that they feel that the gear 'reset' that occurred at T3 was a mistake which caused frustration. Gold maintains the most value unless you're playing the long game for the plat skin and sale far, far down the road. Apart from...

Nope. Ability stone RNG isn't something that you can swipe to win in the traditional sense, beyond buying additional tries for the stones from the AH which would be such a stupid waste of your gold/peons. You'll legitimately be getting 5-10 ability stones a day just from doing your chaos...

The differences between Gunlancer & Artillerist are pretty substanstial. Gunlancer isn't a tank in the traditional sense but brings a metric fuckton of utility. The downside is it honestly plays a lot different than basically every other class and their dodge is off-putting. Artillerist tends...

I got the plat & gold packs and have vacation for all of February (wasn't even planned - work just asked me to take some of the insane amount of carry over from last year ASAP) so will be going hard at launch. You'll solo all the way to 50 for the most part (really no reason to do any of the...

The real game is going to be the AH on NA East and it's going to be a damn good time!

The speculation is that this is Smilegate stepping in, which I buy 100%. The two decisions that seems to confirm this to me are; 1- The release of T3 at launch. There does not exist a shape, way or form that AGS would not have viewed a slower cadence of release as being incredibly more...

I figured this one might entice you. Seriously, you're already used to playing with ping. Come play on NA East with us. :)

Amazon recently confirmed that Knowledge Transfer will be available for launch. For those that don't know, this is basically using your in game gold to have a character level'd to 50. So for every character you manually level to 50, you get access to the ability to boost an additional one for a...

Welcome aboard as well then! As mentioned, there are two 'support' classes (being bard/paladin) which will traditionally be required more than the other classes as a result. With that being said, especially for the content that's released, there's strictly no requirement for them and playing...

If you're playing on NA East and looking for a home, yes.

Welcome aboard.

Lots of upcoming PVP content coming:

Honestly you should just play based on having been stuck on RU (you know that the NA release is going to dramatically impact RU in a detrimental way). The AH game will be wild fun with whales and folks that won't be able to recognize value.

Wouldn't consider this to be an issue at all, come play.

No (it was part of their January update though, so I suspect they had a lot of negative feedback about it): Will players be able to change the font in-game? The in-game font type and size cannot be changed, however the font size within text chat can be changed. Happy to hear you're going to...

Would certainly not consider it an official server choice but my plan is to play on Regulus (the logic being I want to avoid the Azena overcrowd while still having a healthy pop) and will make an FoH guild for those that want to have a place to go similar to last beta. MMO launches are almost...

Was between Azena & Regulus on my side but leaning towards Regulus as I get the sense Azena will be queue hell far more than any other server. Welcome to anyone who wants to join up!

The mixed reception is well earned. I think most people anticipated that we'd be getting T2 only, which made the general strategy for making some alts and focusing on a myriad of other little things before T3 (when it becomes significantly more difficult to transition to a new main) as what most...
