Haven’t won an alpha key yet and now Nick is streaming at some pretty random hours, haven’t been able to get into the last couple raffles.

Not much to say until we get another play test or beta opens up. Buddies and I are still really excited though. Been thinking about our team comp.

One guy is set on cleric so we’ve got a res, another guy wants to do shaman so we’ve got SoW and slows. We’ve also got bard and monk. So my brother and I are going to go with a tank and dps. Since we’ve got the shaman, we were thinking we should probably go physical and lean into the buffs from shaman and songs from bard. So we’re thinking Fighter and Rogue, though the Archer convo the other day piqued my brother's interest, so we’ll see.

I wanted to do an Inquisitor, but I want him to be a deep elf, and with the group comp we are looking at I thought fighter might work better. Definitely something to be said for a castable mez though. I’m not huge on the idea of cleric and shaman in a static group, but they seem intent on it. We’ll see how it goes.

We’ll almost certainly make alts for the whole team to check out the deep in module 1 either way.

He was adding more stuff to Cleric on stream the other day which seemed crazy to me. They must have more in store for some of the other classes as well if Cleric is getting that much.

Current picks are Archer/Bard/Inq in that order. Archer so damn good, oooweeee.


Unsure about that Kuro Kuro , my highest is 14 so far.

Hrm.. can you link the video? I want more from the Druid and it seems to be going the other direction- so maybe I just need to look at a different healing class.

The truth is, Im pretty much just waiting on the beta for when theres more than just a handful of players to group with. The game is group-centric so of course its difficult to level a class on up into the 20’s and further when you can barely find anyone. Especially if you miss a night or three and everyone you knew is ~10 levels higher than you all of a sudden.

The 1-6 leveling is pretty much, or can be, all solo and is fairly quick. 7-16 slows down a bit, but enough people have altitus that you can find a group easy to as soon as you hit late teens, in alpha anyways, its like people evaporate. The hardest part about grouping in starting from say level 7 to probably 14 or so is that the level variance allowed in a group is so tight that if you miss a night - you basically cant group with that person until youre in the high teens and theyre in the low 20’s.

Like Heko said like 300+ people joined and I could barely tell any difference in the noobie areas. Versus like the test weekends where its so thick with people that you can barely get a kill on an instant spawn noobie mob.

When do they invite Tuco to test the six boxing?

Definitely going to prioritize leveling bad soloers first

I think it was this one, but it was an 11 hour stream so good luck.

Server has like 300 on most of the time now, especially the weekends. You missed the flood of players near Christmas, it was amazing and you could tell but people have spread out and have IRL stuff going on. I consistently find groups with my range of chars.

It has been a constant topic for myself and a friend who has some projects for his new house over the next few months. Gotta be ready for EA in June! No luck in the giveaways yet. Sucks.

Any thoughts on my team comp boyos? Given cleric shaman bard monk, needing 1 dps 1 tank…

What are your thoughts!?

do in need to convince my buddy who wants to do shaman that we don’t need 2 healers and we’d be better off with another dps?

Why would 2 healers be bad it’s literally the holy trinity of heals slows tank

Drop cleric if anything in that comp. SHM/BRD/MNK is a shitload of dps. You have all major roles covered, and after SOD you can use tank/clr/clr for mercs.

Edit: Wrong game. My bad.

Sk+rogue. Or fighter prolly work too, but having a snare is handy.
