    Didn't realize the timer part, but yea the objective of a moba is to win quickly, not be a goober and farm kills like *those* kind of mobs players

    This thread is awesome and this game looks mad fun.

    Anyone still have a free NA pass so I can test it out prior to purchase? Probably in to late for those, but I figured I'd ask.

    I will send you one of mine momentarily in a PM.

    Badass Thank you!

    Correction: Veteran War of the Wilds gold is impossible given that if you get the "Capture 3 Energy Nodes"...it doesn't actually seem to recognize when you capture said totems :rotate:

    Initial endgame progression is...very disappointing, mostly due to buggy stuff. You should be running Veteran Adventures (and getting gold) to get the epics necessary to step into Veteran Dungeons:

    * War of the Wilds they broke the shit out of last night, so that's out. You either get the non-bugged objectives or you fail. Or your waves push too fast and you don't even get the objectives, so you fail...because...you won too fast. This is particularly infuriating because tanking stalker claws drop from here.
    * Siege of Tempest Refuge has a pretty ridiculous gold requirement, and then you can just have a tank and bunker buster spawn on opposite sides in which case, fuck you.
    * Crimelords of Whitevale has several path options that don't work.
    * Malgrave Trail is 60 minutes of Malgrave Trail.

    But even taking a step back, we have the daily quest hub*. That's fine, except you're also told to go to Sandstone Hold and speak with Dorian Walker, presumably because there's a second daily quest hub. So you get there and...nothing. There's like 30% of the map of Malgrave that's all level 50 with its own named hub that you're told to go to and there are absolutely no quests of any kind.

    All the endgame complaints are kind of making me glad I'm succumbing to altitis.

    Got half the classes to 15+, working on Esper.

    Trying to find something that really clicks for me.

    Hopefully the PTR this week will have lots of nice bug fixes.

    The endgame complaints seem to be aimed at (SURPRISE) bugs, so that's a good sign.

    How do you do a /who command in this game? I created a dude on the stormtalon server on both teams, and I can't do a who of the guild to see if anyone is on to invite. I accidentally sent a friend request to the dominion guild leader, and I do apologize for that.

    Apparently, if you mentor someone, and then enter an instance you've outleveled, your stats get dropped.

    That is very disheartening...

    These guys have tried too hard, and have built too much of a cool image (dev speak alone sold me), for silly things like this to kill it right out of the gate. Hopefully they get this stuff shored up ASAP. I know... I'm not adding anything new to anything said over the last few pages, but good lord. I just can't do voice chat whatsoever due to being deaf and all that :( Oh well I'll just keep plugging away. Not sure what side I'm going to stick with yet. Dominion looked cool but so far, I am having much more fun on exile. (could be the class though)

    CREDD purchased. For 3.7p. I can't fathom it, but hey, there you go.

    See you'd think the price would be crazy high if enough people cranked out hookahs or whatever, right? Or are there really enough people spending 20 bucks on these things to drive the price that low?

    My guess is that relatively few people because instant billionaires via architect.

    aside from the architect people, 50p isn't going to be a thing for most anyone for awhile.

    Yes. Someone posted earlier with nearly 100, because they spent half an hour abusing architect.

    My understanding of the breakdown (based on like two things I read, so whatever) is that if you tiered archi smartly and cranked out a crap ton of lopp hookahs, you were looking at about 4 and a half plat per hour of non-stop crafting. So not craaaazy insane, but I'm glad it's fixed.

    On the exile side, Harker just got hacked (Ysterath's friend). Logged in naked with all his gold gone at level 34. Stuff taken from the guild bank:
    HYLAhem.jpg

    Nothing too important. This isn't intended to make him feel bad or anything, just to inform everyone. He already feels bad enough! He didn't have 2 factor authentication. He just added it to his account and changed all his passwords. I've temporarily made him an alt just to be sure.
    Honestly I am glad they did my work for me and cleaned up those leveling blue weapons nobody was taking

    So, world PvP happens once you get to Whitevale. Until I can get an addon that tracks it for me, I've had a spreadsheet open logging my PvP kills. Missing a handful of races and classes due to hectic extended PvP skirmishes and having to eyeball this stuff.

    Over the course of the last four days I have killed...
    • 129 individual players.
    • Espers and Warriors being the most common, 31 and 30 respectively. Medics and Engineers being least common, at 10 and 14.
    • Aurin being the most common victims with 44 kills, followed by 26 Humans, then Granok, then Mordesh.
    • I was surprised to see this given that Espers were polling nearly last in a bunch of the population polls I've seen.

    Warriors and Medics are probably the most troublesome, though a few of those rare Engineers have been a handful too. All of these players have been within +/- 3-4 levels of me. I try to pursue relatively fair 1v1s when I'm not grouped with someone else and have yet to lose in that situation.

    I hope to one day have a hard time locating people I haven't killed on this server at least once.

    Endgame progression really is currently horrendous. These adventures take waaaay too long and it's way too finicky on whether you get gold or not, or a times if you can even finish at all.

    I really wish veteran dungeons were on the same "difficulty" in theory as veteran adventures so I could just start with those, because adventures are insanely boring. But then, the dungeons have such an insanely massive amount of trash that they're awful to run also.

    I really am not liking this shit at all, sadly.

    It is self-motivated incentive to PvP! I have a lot of fun going out of my way to gank people that I haven't ganked before. If Carbine is intent on ignoring world PvP (and PvP in general) I have to make my own good times.
