    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...

    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...

    Artist class releasing shortly for KR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OLfMgB87d8&t=11s Class design remains fantastic, can't wait to see all the ways AGS manages to fuck things up in less than a month!

    Not sure how Amazon is going to handle it but for KR all of the chat is basically integrated with Discord (it's built in the game and the system works really well). AGS seems to be going their own route with voice which is a shame.

    Your mileage is going to vary tremendously however as a starting spot, I'd recommend https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oci4R6IkwiQoVhGH8IHwFIS33dVS7hQv2Z-sljRrmcE/edit With that being said, there is really no wrong choice in so far as classes are concerned and you really should just pick what...

    Your issues with this particular subject matter aren't unique to LA and can pretty much be summarized as being the same tired arguments that people who don't like MMO raiding use. Some of them are valid (e.g., that the raid design has been, for the most part, rather lazy in terms of coming up...

    Wheel of Time

    The issue here isn't whether or not you need to stick 100% to the source material but rather when deviations to fit a TV/movie adaptation are made that they serve an actual purpose and don't shit on the aforementioned source in an egregious way. Given the depth WoT has, most people don't...

    February 11th release date (thus early access is February 8th).

    Lost Ark Online

    It's a weird decision to be sure - Summoner was an original launch class and it's not like it's broken in T1/T2 in any way. Including Sorc makes a lot of sense as it's a more traditional spellcaster, which will attract the Western audience (plus it's a lot of shiny and will be insanely popular)...

    Wheel of Time

    The scene was 100% intended at conveying that she is the DB which is based on the show's attempt at keeping who the DB actual is a secret (there's absolutely no way that it won't be Rand and the fact that they have some of you thinking it's possible they'll go with that shows just how retarded...

    Wheel of Time

    Had to Google this but you're right on that count, my bad. The first episode is absolutely terrible and I can't say enough bad things about it -- thankfully #2 & #3 actually starts sticking to the source material and, while by no means 'good', at least becomes tolerable as a result. Moiraine's...

    Wheel of Time

    Perrin being married, the dragon reborn potentially not being a male, and there being '4' Ta'Veren that leads Moiraine to the two rivers are not minor changes that don't affect the core pieces of the story or the lore. Thankfully I haven't seen Mat having kids yet, albeit that was replaced with...

    It took me exactly 58 seconds to cringe. "We don't know if he was reborn as a girl or a boy.", "men who were born with great power believed they could cage darkness itself. The arrogance." Starting to pour drinks now to make this more tolerable. Minute 5 is true to the source material at least...

    Glad you enjoyed this the second time around! LA is NW in reverse: the start really blows and the world feels small and slow but the end game has an insane amount of depth / fun / things to do. It's certainly not for anyone seeking an ARPG experience though and is 100% MMO. A lot of those...

    Short version? You're trying to use the level 2 version of the skill book when you first need to complete the level 1 version of the skill book. Each versions require 20x of the books to unlock before you'll be able to use them on your rings, so there's a natural progression and makes it so the...

    Yes, you'll be upgrading that gear for the remainder of beta to increase your ilvl (can also use the shop to speed up quite a bit). Engravings come from jewelry slots as well as from your ability stone. The recipes drop / come from a myriad of places (as well as being tradeable on the AH)...

    Kind of. Sywo absolutely loves Lost Ark and his energy for the game can't be denied. With that being said, he falls deftly into the weird category for me in that, he actually enjoys leveling up and watching the cutscenes for the 5000th time. Look at the character he's leveling to 50 again as...

    Lost Ark Online

    Continue the MSQ in Vern since it won't take long to unlock your power pass to automatically be able to level a 50. At that point, on the class you're thinking of maining; 1- Unlock engravings, the tower, Abyssal dungeons, & your first ability stone via the guide quests that will be available...

    It's a wiped beta. No one is behind on anything and investing too much time into this is silly. The goal is to figure out if you're interested in playing another 'on the rails' MMO that has dailies. LA is incredibly polished with a metric fuckton of things to do and is very easily the best MMO...

    1- Skip all non MSQs until you reach Arthentine, at which point you start doing side quests with the exception of the one that sends you to an optional dungeon. 2- Spend points in whatever provides further dash distance and skip entirely all npc killing that isn't part of the MSQ or where you...

    Lost Ark Online

    I really dislike the early game and find that it makes jumping into the game rather challenging. They've reworked the tutorials a bunch but really, there's only so much that you can do without access to a maxxed out tripod or two and the more core skills which unlock later on. With that being...

    Lost Ark Online

    From a general standpoint, most classes have certain flows / mechanics that simply require a fair amount of knowledge in the game (e.g. until you've played a bit, it's not super obvious). From a Soulfist perspective, you should start by spending 4 points into Pulverizing Palm to unlock...

    This is accurate. Paladin's are support and any who try to play as DPS (some do) will be frowned upon and disliked.

    I'm a pretty big fan of LA and always intended to sub. I'm also firmly in the "I'm not 14 and have disposable income, plus devs need to make money somehow" club but honestly the cash shop concerns are 100% valid. AGS have not shown that they have any clue whatsoever and they need to provide more...

    Class design is incredible (but really weird in my opinion) for this game. Traditionally, I always play plate / melee with an emphasis on tankiness however I absolutely can't get into Gunlancer. What aggravates the situation considerably is just how different classes end up playing at max and...

    Got to level 50 and definitely need to work on my path and efficiency, as I got to Vern already level 50. I was a bit concerned that without the account exp the leveling process would be more challenging but it really wasn't -- easily doable in about 11 hours. There are still some minor audio...

    Lance master is such a fun class, especially for PVP. Looking forward to Scouter being released the most though as I've committed to not re-rolling mains too much, that'll probably be the only switch I make. If you're playing this weekend, do give the East server a try to see if it's workable...
