What happens in 3rd Street stays in 3rd Street.

I just finished a level 41 story quest, that involved me fighting a semi-BAM then a noruk who summoned two additional BAM's as it got low on health. I didn't expect the noruk, yet alone the two other BAM's, but I got through it since they died as I killed the noruk. Was pretty intense, but a lot of fun. So much more fun than generic gather them up and AOE them down gameplay.

I really want to do a dungeon but getting in as a DPS isn't ideal.

Leveling is most definitely a big downer, leaving a lot of repetitive quest grinding in the early Allemantheia continent arc. The dungeon for your level, Necromancer Tomb, isn't really anything exciting for what it is and the rewards it shells out. I made do with partying with pubbies and entertaining myself with the true action combat system until my late forties. Then came the massive minion farming at Dakonian Junction southeast of Dragonfall, which was utterly hilarious for a good long while, and fast, too.

Just downloaded this, looking to mess around with solo/leveling content in a super casual way--I'm trying to decide which class to play; currently looking at Warrior, Bezerker, and Slayer. What class has the most interesting/fun mechanics throughout the leveling process? I'm looking for complexity and involvement, and maybe effectiveness in a PVP environment as well.

Warrior is the most complex of the three, fun is entirely subjective, all three classes play quite differently. Berserker is probably the least suitable for what you're looking for (it's involved but not very complex and not great in pvp compared to the other two).

Can you maybe describe briefly how each of them plays, what the basic mechanics of each are like?

Zerker charges up big-rear end attacks and lets go for a million (literally later on) damage, Slayer bashes people with a giant sword, keeping them stunned and slicing with big attacks. Warrior uses combo strikes in DPS mode, lots of smaller attacks and some bigger while using aggro/defensive moves in Tank mode.

...but girls already have a vagina between their legs, so they don't gotta trick anyone...
We need less zerkers and more of everything else. Sorcerors are top dps, archers are like zerkers that move faster. Warriors are getting a big dps boost soon so they will be a lot better in pve. Lancers are ezmode leveling and do a lot more damage than people think. Lancers are also one of the meanest classes in pvp due to having 5 stuns (3 of them are like that spear scorpian uses in mortal kombat) and 3 slows. Slayer is 2nd highest dps and is incredibly easy to play, facerolling all day long and making big numbers while you do it. If you want to be the best at everything roll a mystic. They are really strong in pvp and pve and their auras are drat near game breaking they are so good. Mystics are also they are masters of cleansing since you can get cleansed by gobbling up one of their balls and they heal for a fair bit. Currently our guild has no mystic that logs in regularly and does stuff. Priest is not a bad class either and they are getting a buff to add a lot of attack speed, (this cuts down on attack animations and lowers cooldowns of all skills). So yeah any class but zerker is a great class to play. Not that zerkers are bad but it seems like every goon had the same idea when they got the game 'Big rear end axe and plate armor and I get to spin to win, I am so rolling one of these.' - every goon in DGKK.

Find a lancer your level and use them for fast queues to dungeons. Friend a slayer or sorc to help you quest or see if there are guildies that can help you. Healers have the disadvantage of having to network early on instead of just mindlessly grinding. Having a leveling buddy helps though, also your thralls can be pretty handy too. What level you at currently?

It's just Mystics that have leveling issues. Priests are kinda good at grinding and can effectively aoe a lot of mobs. The thralls are literally one fifth as strong as they should be except fairy heal, which doesn't really count given that it's the only Mystic self-heal on a long CD

Level 34. Logged on just a second ago to try and hit 35 so after my finals I can run CR a few times, sadly did not happen. Will grind the rest out on Tuesday or something.

Haven't had any issues for ques to dungeons. Finding a dps to party with me for regular quests is where I have trouble. The rare times I have found one, I say pull 2x more than you normally do...and they pull one or two mobs. So there is no benefit to being in a group with a dps when they go as slow as I do without them.

I HATE Mystics don't have a self heal other than my Thrall. Then again, I drop so many balls I can grab one myself if I need and not worry about the dps missing out.

Is there any point in the initial gate-closing part of Nexus? It seems like with that many players swarming an overworld instance, there's comparatively little opportunity for any reward when put up against what you get from Traverse.

Oh hey, I have fun when helping out too. I've noticed quite a few players get a little bogged down pre- and post-SM things slow down just a tad and BAMs are needed for a boost to progress speed. Would the guild be better served with a Warrior alt or a Priest alt right now?

Zerkers are like the best DPS in this game if they can get hits in. Sorcerer/Slayer come second. But yeah we need more Mystics.

You need to finish a nexus to get the Nexus Call buff so you can actually enter Traverse.

The idea of nexus was to be an outdoor rift-style invasion event, the instance was added months later.

Zerkers are amazing fun on bosses like Meldita that mostly stay stationary and mostly shoot lasers out of their rear end rather then spinning around and asscleaving every 3 seconds. Not so fun against the argon queen who gives you 5 seconds to run away from an instakill attack and your single swing takes 3.

I'm leveling a Mystic with a friend but I probably wont hit 60 for a long time since we only play a few hours a week. I'm also leveling a Slayer in the guild and a Warrior outside of the guild. I have a 60 Lancer that I don't use and really don't want to spend money on because my Priest is costing me an arm and a leg but I suppose if I ever finish gear on her I can maybe play the Lancer.

I don't really have any point to this post besides I guess I'm trying to work on classes that aren't Zerker(which I do have but stopped playing).

I'm wondering what sort of super-secret criteria EME has for allowing character transfers away from the servers brought up since free-to-play was implemented. My best guess so far is they're still waiting for a healthy, active population of 60s on them to prop up their economies. But that wouldn't make sense, since it seems to me like anyone who'd even try hard enough to hit 60 would gravitate towards Mount Tyrannas to begin with for the supposed established server population.

James T. Kirk was a great man, but that was another life.
so the guild that i used to be a part of at my old studio got ported over to Tyrannus (or wherever the goons are)

sorely tempted to just nab anything of value (screw that everything) in the gbank and come over to the goonside. I don't think anyone but me has even logged in in anything close to a year.
