Can't escape it really, since farming leads directly to every single other feature of the game. Everything you will use or need later will most likely come from someone planting/raising something.
1. Bondurant that is disturbingly funny.

Via the forums. Coupled withthis post by Scapesit seems we'll be seeing this in roughly 2 weeks. I'll be playing sparsely 'til then I think.

Gilda stars changes sound a lot better with those other changes than just removing the safe traderoutes. Being able to get gildas from normal quests and from daillies everytime is pretty nice. Guess that means the 500nui tear house is going to get changed to gilda too. Other good thing is being able to buy a horse with actual gold instead of having to farm nuis/quests(that's good if you want to start leveling it for the lvl 50 upgrade) as well as gliders and shit.
No mention of actual class changes though, wonder if they'll just add these later or if they didn't bother to mention them.

The game is superfun imo. I think people know all their work will be wiped so they are putting on the breaks. I know I'm just gleaning off the basics trying to get the gist figured and avoid burnout .
This is the first game since Eq that I could easily do a 12 hour session and still want to keep going. Gw2 was maybe 2 hours, and eso was at best an hour. Eq landmark I made it through 4 hours total and turned it off.
Game is fun if a bit too easy
I am a little concerned about Alpha burnout/boredness. I have a lot of friends who are playing it as hardcore as they would release. This combined with Alpha not being big on politics and economy i can see people getting bored or just thinking the game is not fun after awhile.
I want to do soo much much i am basically just tending to making money and pvping. Imo the game needs more though. I think the building blocks and system ideas are great but we will see where we go from here or if XL goes anywhere with this. Game needs more updates and end game tools for the sandbox to last long term.
What we have now is great for the short term but by release(assuming a 3-5 month alpha) we will be needing more things for the sandbox. Or improved systems to use what we have been grinding for. Sea combat, castle combat could be soo much better. A big part of the game is grinding gear but sadly gear isn't really needed outside of small scale zone pk/ganking. Anyone can have w/e boat/ship they want in the first couple weeks so really nothing special about ships, but since ships are just platforms to fit as many people in your group as possible to overtake the other ship it doesn't matter.
Basically i guess its a good think a fresh 50 in ah'd Auroria gear and an orange offstat 50weapon will be almost as effective as the average hardcore player. I guess i just feel like the stage is set but this game needs something else to be a slam dunk
Hard to predict how the open world is going to play out once the game goes live. For example, right now in alpha level 30s are getting ganked left and right by level 50s from their own faction. I'm guessing a lot of these are people wanting to test how the pirate faction works. Once the game goes live, I assume same faction ganking will decrease by a significant amount.
I played WoW on Tichondrius so I am fully familiar with getting ganked by high levels. I didn't have a problem with it because the enemy was always red so if they beat you, you could try to track them down for revenge or call in high level guildmates to come help you. The fact AAge allows a ganker to immediately turn off the PVP flag is bad design IMO. Bloodlust should give you a 5-10 minute debuff before your turn back to green. Lastly, anyone with the bloodlust debuff should not be eligible to get the safety buff from the Nui shrines that protects them from PVP damage.
That is really my only complaint with open world PVP in this game. I have no issues with red vs red action. I understand that same faction ganking is necessary so people can become pirates. I just think the game should not protect the player doing the ganking.

I don't think "Bloodlust Mode" is ? - Also, the world pvp is a bit more distinct than Rescorla is eluding to at the moment, most of it, as has been said previously, is roaming bands of 20+ groups ganking farmers because everyone leaves the wartime zones when they flip to Disputed. There is hardly any incentive to pvp currently as honor rewards and what not aren't all that good.
Most of the competition camps in the safezone resurrection stone area and goes afk. Atleast in all the overworld PVP areas not including Auroria (north continent).
Open water PVP is hit or miss.
My game time has been reduced to milking cows and dueling.
Cows give better rewards than PVP at the moment.
