I've been in two goon servers so far and both have had the same seed. I'm starting to wonder if servers just use the same seed automatically.

The default seed is in server.cfg. It has to be changed (which I guess no one does because it looks like a port)

Ah, alright then. I would have thought it would pick a random seed when first being run without a config file but that would explain it. I logged in and I was out directly next to where I was done running around in singleplayer.

The game lets you play a multiplayer world in singleplayer and when you log into a server using the same seed it puts you in the same spot.

You need an account to log into the client. Buying it through someone else's account won't work.

Also if you zoom out the map real far you can see the region you are in (will be a solid color) there are infinite regions with their own towns/cities in each direction and with their own quirks. No one has done more than scratch the surface of the game so far because I don't see many people having left the starter region.
I did, looking for another town, before I realized you can pan the world map with middle click (as well as turn equipment at the customization bench). Took me an hour or two to reach the other town, then I realized I needed to get back to the starter town to hang out with my newbie bros. :gonk:

Has anyone seen a portal yet? They're apparently in, so you can fast travel [between regions?] but I've never found one.

Ninja ... are amazing however. Perfectly rounded classes with the power resting mostly on the players skill.
Ninja seem highly broken compared to Assassins:

The way Rogue's mana works is that hitting a target increases your mana, at about 8-9 per hit, until you reach 100 mana. Using a special consumes all your mana, dealing more damage with more mana. You have negative mana regeneration, so you need to be in combat to regenerate it.

Ninja gain 25 mana every time they dodge an attack, as well as guaranteeing that their next special will be a critical. On top of this, they automatically dodge when performing special attacks. With proper timing, you can just chain special attacks and wreck enemies. If you're fighting a mob, you just dodge all of their attacks, gaining 25 mana per attack missed, so you have ridiculous DPS.

Assassins, on the other hand, gets some Stealth (not Invisibility) every time they land a special attack, with more MP consumed granting more Stealth. Stealth is automatically activated once gained, increasing your damage, critical hit rate, and mana regeneration (so you actually gain mana). Regardless of if you use a special with a full bar, your Stealth won't last very long, certainly not long enough to ever build up another special attack unless you fire off the second one at 25%, which'll just give you a tiny amount of stealth.

I really can't figure out how Assassin's passive is supposed to be useful, but I haven't gotten past the first couple levels yet. Ninja + Assassin share their first two skills (a dash [usable in midair] that uses a special attack at the end that reduces cooldown per level, and a stealth that increases sneak speed and "stealth ability" [reduced aggro?] every level), but Assassin's third skill is a stealth that is usable in combat that lasts 8 seconds (duration increasing and cooldown reducing per level). Ninja's third skill is a backflip and shuriken throw, not sure how good that'll be.. It might just be that Assassin is better once you get the reliable in-combat stealth skill? I dunno, but at low levels, right now, Ninja just spews damage out with his chain Specials and Assassin's kinda flaky.

It was down for maintenance when I tried this morning but I kept trying every 15 minutes or so and it finally popped up. Persistence pays off, also goddamn this game is pretty tough. Only class I have managed to make any headway with thus far is warrior. I tried rogue and ranger and got clobbered.

Switch your rogue to ninja instead of assassin and it'll probably be easier. Just click the other class type while in your skills list, or if you're level 2+, stand next to a trainer at a dummy or archery target first, but that'll cost you silver.

Is there a way to resurrect your pets without losing their accumulated experience? I hoped the pets would level up with you, but I just hit level 3 and now have a level 2 1xp/97xp Terrier.

edit: Oh man, am I stupid. I guess I just needed to wait for him to respawn, not unequip and re-equip him. Sorry, dog.

edit 2: Okay, now after I died, he lost all his XP again. Is this a bug or as intended?

Going to hazard a guess in that the seed is static right now for testing multiplayer. Easier to test the same conditions on the same world. Who knows though.

I'll start it up. Boy do I dislike hamachi.

I started a new server with the the seed 90210. I won't be in it but I'll restart it when I notice it has crashed.

107.3.151.128 - it's up.
There was a mumble for it last night.

The server software is prone to crashing. At least on my computer, can anyone confirm or deny? The port you need to open is port 12345.

Haha, changing from an assassin to a ninja was like going from a musket to an Abrams tank. I somehow doubt that ninjas are supposed to literally critical for 20+ seconds on every attack when they dodge with a special, but currently they do meaning you can basically melt anything instantly. Looks like Wollay has some rebalancing to do.

Since I don't see this anywhere I figure I might as well post it. When a pet can be used as a mount there are 5 water globs under their exp bar. You can only ride ti while there are some water globs left. You can refill them by having your pet in the water.

Pets seem to be bugged to where they lose their accumulated xp/levels if you unequip them. Seems like the actual pet "item" isn't updating properly. Guessing it's something he'll fix soon. I've just been re-taming cats as I level up since I have an easy source of candy and they seem to tame at my level.

Makes sense, thanks. I've got waffles in my store, so just picked up a new Terrier.

Is there a certain place you're supposed to turn in quests? I'm a mage, finished a quest that someone in my town gave me, can't figure out if there is another step. Logging off and on my server re-pops up a Quest Complete notification, so I'm led to believe there is still something else I'm supposed to do. Or have I hit another bug?
