Obscurity posted:I've logged in twice since the F2P conversion, and niether times did I have a queue. It has to be only during peak times because I am logging in early afternoon. The queues might be alleviated somewhat soon: quote:I just got off the phone with our engineering director. The proposed plan that we are going to be reviewing and finalizing in the morning for North America is to split the existing shards into two clusters and add an additional shard to each of those clusters.To give you guys a little background, our current population limits are more related to the total number of users in a cluster as opposed to on an individual shard. By splitting it into two healthy clusters we may be able to greatly increase the number of users on a per shard basis. We will also be reviewing Europe and determining how to further address the issues there.~Daglar

I've been waiting in queue to talk to a dude for about 4 hours now and there's still over a 100 people to go. I'm not yelling at them or anything actually I think it's great to see how much attention they are getting but man waiting up til 5, hell maybe even 6am to talk to a dude, I am so sleepy.

Hashtag Yoloswag posted:<- not a mage Actually a good healer really fucks over a Dominator. However, when you're facing healers who are either wardens who spam cataract (awful) or LGV chloros spamming void life (also bad) and don't AoE cleanse, Dominator really kicks rear end. (Note: Most people in warfronts are bad and this is a thing that is going to happen). Dominator's still good, just not as theoretically strong as it actually performs due to people being idiots about things like mass betrayal. For example, never pop your split while dueling a good riftblade unless he's used rift spear recently.

The split to two clusters means that our population cap will basically double. The downside is that the shards moving over to the new cluster will no longer be part of our cross-shard queue's. Thankfully, looks like we are on the same one as faeblight.

I love Trion. Any other dev would just be like, "we're working on it -bob" I may just be playing with long instance queues and hordes of drunk weirdos, but I haven't had a queue to log in yet playing in the 11pm to 4am range

Anyone have any tips for new F2P players? I played through the trial way back at release but didn't drop the money to subscribe. Now that its F2P I don't have to, so clearly you all are suckers. Am I missing anything significant by not paying, though?

Currently if you don't pay you will be stuck in a hours long queue during peek hours and you'll miss out on reusable flasks that up exp, favor, notoriety gains as well as a random gift once a day. If you want to experience the Patron Experience you can buy a 3 day pass to check things out or to ride out the huge queue times until they fix things.

I'm confused. I applied the Raptr thing to my account and was supposed to unlock the expansion souls since it came with the expansion, but while making a character, they don't seem to be available. It says 'Requires purchase to unlock'. What's up wit that.

I'm watching the twitch.tv live stream and the three guys seem pretty chill and talking about tentative upcoming content (new emotes, dances, two new raids, slides, splitting clusters up, and a new warzone). They're also drinking alcohol on stream.

Now that its F2P I don't have to, so clearly you all are suckers. Am I missing anything significant by not paying, though? They are working on the queue's with the changes happening now, don't worry about that. Umm tips. Well, get in the guild, get the noob bags we made to give yourself some storage space. If you need cash for your first mount just let us know. Quest until you get to level 10 and the capital city for your faction, then at that point pvp and instant adventures will open up. You can level exclusively doing one of those three, or mix it up, up until 50. After 50 you can still pvp and IA, but questing is just as effective and you want to get the rep from the storylines. You can make level 10 easily with one of the premade templates they prompt you with, after that I would look into more specific builds for your class.

Been watching the twitchtv stream, apparently they are working on getting a mead barrel mount in the game, but no eta on that. Oh, and they are giving away stuff. Edit: They also want to add an even more pink dye color, but I think they are sort of tipsy at this point. AVeryLargeRadish fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Jun 15, 2013 |

Mead barrel mounts, a dozen kinds of corgi pets, chefs hats and spoons. Trion is going to make a killing. A killing Pretty soon SOE is going to stop work on guns for florescent pink faerie wings that flap when you move. I love Trion. Oh, and just so you guys know, the cleric pants you get in the future at the very beginning (ascended pants or whatever) are the most scandalous pants I've ever seen in my life. And are totally impossible to get if you've already sold them from when you started. I may never go back to Rohypnotist because I look AMAZING with my sheer underwear+single shoulder pad+bowler hat
