If I worked on this game, the 3 things I would fix in order are: Hats working for deep gnomes, cool hand extendy use-the-force pose for channeled spells like the wizard pewpewpepepwepew spell, and human female sounds are ... difficult to describe.

And make the shots fly out of the hand instead of the crotch area.

skeet skeet animations don't appeal? curious. hats and more than one female deep gnome hair option are surely coming soon. Hair probably didn't make the cutoff, and zukan did most of the model jiggery to make them fit on heads. But haven't seen him for a bit online. Vacation i think. I'm a firm believer in hat models off, tho wiz pointy hats are an exception for sure.

All the anims are great, but seems like the channeled ones should use a shooty pose, kinda like arcane missiles from warcraft or or or force powers stuff from old pub.

Wow…

So many random things KoS

A patrolman - non KoS

A patrolman - KoS

A farmer - KoS RED con lol

Harbor guards and red mantles and… random bros..

What is there to kill to flesh out the faction? The drive to disdain was already stupid.

I just want to get to WyrmsBane and AC… cant go out from the Bends- harbor guards.. cant teleport then go from north gate to west- random whatever’s KoS…

If you’ve not murdered the bends mobs you shouldn’t be kos to the mobs. Outside of a couple closer to the docks. The watchmen at the entrance to the bends shouldn’t be kos. It’s safe from there to the teleport pad.

Now once you’re there, there are 2 wandering patrolmen that are kos but easy to avoid(I don’t even look for them anymore really) but one of their paths they stop at the archway that leads down the stairs towards the other side. After those two pats, nothing should be KOS before you get to the West Bank, gate, etc.

also, it goes way faster once out of seethes. Like way way faster.

Sounds good, once I encountered one of those patrolmen’s (that I assume is redmantle or whatever) and the murder farmer, I just took the teleported back and camped on the bends wall. I haven’t killed in there yet so only the stupid necro and other mean caster women are KoS in that one house near UD ramp.

West gate and bank safe? Inn? Night market?

When you zone into NH from UD, run straight off the edge into the ocean. Turn left and swim 20 seconds and you're at north gate.

You can go through the hole in the wall at Northgate through the bizarre near necropolis, just mind the red mantle keep.

You can farm red mantle rep at the graveyard.

Yep, they’re safe. Not sure if they sell or let you bank at disdain but they won’t kill you. Except the theater people outside the bars guild, but that may just be at night. And they don’t wander or anything.
Now I’ve not checked every single vendor in the market, but the weapon, armor, butcher, bag, all those were fine.

The necro and one other mob (stoic?) path across the exit from ud. You can can run up the house and skip them going out, but from the perpetual corpses there- shit is a bit rapey.

Is the graveyard the area outside the SK/Necro guild? I can see on the map how to get there from outside the N Gate.

Guess I can sit my butt there and let my pet farm me reputation

yeah i'm not sure hugging the wall is 100% safe. house route seems safer. Heaven forbid you farm bends mobs though.
Click to expand...

It is, ive done it at level 1 atleast 10 times. House route is safer when people are around. I hug the wall when returning to save running time on my DE.

There's like 7 or more different factions of stuff inside NH. It's a big chore to get out of KOS with all of them. Better off just playing a non evil race if you don't want to do the grind.

I spent most of my 10s and 20s in Tel Ekir so my Steel Talons and Citizens of NH are comrade now, but I'm still fucked on NH Garrison, Red Mantles, and the City Watch of NH.

Yeah it is a pain... but... I can friggen see (there are still some dark places lol) - mostly Red Mantles are annoying as KoS - slogging through that faction - found a nice place to sit... day the bugs give faction..night undead give exp (well better) - but no faction?

I need to get is some gear with AC on it...whew.

Getting super close to hitting 30k subs.

They have to be ecstatic with that result.

Hopefully the funds allow them to push forward, because from what I’m hearing people like the game quite a bit for the most part. Gotta capitalize on the good vibes.

Definitely.

Between merch and subs -- a $500k injection (taxes aside) is massive for a project like this. Even if they lose 20% of the subs month over month for 6 months, they'll have taken in nearly 2 million dollars and still have 10k'ish subs at that point and 3 million if they maintain 10k subs for the last 6 months of the year.

That's not a ton of resources, but it's easily enough to get the game through the first year.

Obviously, I don't know the details, but several key people from the team are from parts of the world where wages are much, much lower than the West. Additionally, quite a few of them are effectively part-timers; either by choice or the fact that they weren't being paid. Passion goes a long way, but it only lasts so long when you're earning literally zero dollars.

If things continue to do well they should be able to start paying most (or all of the team) and there's really no disputing that people getting paid will increase productivity significantly. Also, having the cash to outsource some stuff will increase production speed.
