I actually like some of the ideas of this. Kind of reminds me of a far better "Overlord" from that F2P game.
Emperor - Full Guide
Best part is even if you lose the power, you keep your skill trees forever. Like I said before, it will get people in because somewhere in their head they all think they can be emperor, but in reality:
A dollar and a dream. It's all you need.
Servers just went down so I can't check the exact keybindings but I wanna say Q is the hotkey to change your weapon sets and R is your 'ultimate' ability. Ultimates come at lvl 12 and weapon swapping comes at lvl 15.
It is intentional, but I did see a loading screen hint that said you can use the same weapon type (same weapon?) in both weapon sets so you can use more abilities within the same skill line.
You're hoping the game is coming back up while you do it.
Or worried that you've been playing straight since headstart that you might lay down, go to sleep and not wake up again.

Q is "quickslots". Which is for consumables(potions, food, drink, treasure maps, seige, repair kits etc). Open inventory and Hit Q or select the top right button and you can place things in the Quick slots. Then when out fighting, Hit Q(default) and hold it to bring up the quickslots then use mouse to move around the radial to choose what you want, then just hit Q again to "use it".
1-5 are abilities. Can only have 5 per weapon equipped. When you hit 15 you can have a 2nd weapon equipped. You can either use the same weapon type in both slots or mix and match. Only 5 abilities per weapon bar and toggles will turn off if you switch to a weapon bar without that ability. Also which weapon you have equipped and its abilities you have on that bar are the ones "leveled" when you turn in a quest or get exp. So if you want to level something specific but not have it waste a spot on your usual combat bar you can just switch to 2nd weapon(2nd set of bars) before turning in a quest.
R is Ulitmate ability. Ability from each ability lines(no weapon skill ones though). So 3 class, the NPC guilds, PVP , werewolf/vamp etc. You can have same one on both bars or 2 different ones and switch between to use what you want(same ultimate resource pool iirc).
Ah that's right, Q is quickslot. I need to develop some kind of mnemonic for that so I can remember.
Also, from what you say Cinge, if I start every fight with a bow and then finish it with melee, the bow will never level?

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info guys.
Definitely a bit different than my WoW days playing a shaman with ~30 buttons on screen, heh.

Would be nice to save a few load-outs but unless I missed something that's not a feature. Personally I think the skill system is the most interesting part of the game and you can put together some really interesting builds. As a templar I can already forsee myself swapping at least 4-5 different builds depending on need, healing, pvp, support mix, tank, dps. Will get tiresome doing it manually all the time.

Ut caved on his bet too early.
Servers broke, they knew it was unavoidable and announced maintenance.

edit : On a serious note looking in from the outside seems to be a good thing that people are enjoying the game so much they aren't posting on the forums about it ?
I admit to believing all the negativity about this game from the outset and never downloaded or tried the beta myself. That being said, it is a new MMO and I enjoy playing them when they release just to get that fresh MMO smell, so I decided to buy it and expected to hate it based off of popular opinions around here.
However I am quite surprised at how much I enjoy this at the moment. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing earth shattering that I haven't seen with any other previous MMO launch. The graphics and performance are much better than I expected as well. Another thing I am very surprised about is the character building aspect of the game. Reading that there was only 4 avail classes to play seemed like a terrible decision, but after reading up about it and actually trying it out it would seem there is almost an infinite amount of possibilities on gearing / traiting / skilling up with the various weapons / factions / and class lines.
Will this dethrone WoW or have the longevity of Everquest ? No. Will I be able to walk away after it is all said and done and be able to say I got my monies worth of entertainment out of it. Absolutely
Very happy with my purchase so far and don't regret it.

If you twist his arm you might get Tuco to admit he had fun running a PVE private dungeon last night. We pulled it off with no tank and a crappy healer (me).
8 am EST and servers are still down I had thought they would have them up by morning .

I came for the PVP but the PVE has surprised me.
The game has pulled me in. I like the flexibility the character building allows so I can have some fun with theory crafting again. I also like the combat more than I expected despite the poor animations - they did a nice job mitigating or eliminating the cool down mechanic which needed to die.
