gently caress, I still don't know what class I want as my main.

I like the idea of being stealth in PvP and loving with people. But I also like shooting things, and healing things, and tanking things too! This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make.

Good news, the stealth class can tank.

It is nice that there is actually three classes that can tank. Still means that people have to be willing to tank and collect two sets of armour.

I'll give you a definite maybe.
So, this guild notification stuff is pretty annoying. I'd be happy to try to write a plugin that disables it if someone can point me to some starting documentation, or an example of a addon that already captures and modifies incoming text.

I know there are problems with the pre-order bag appearing and disappearing - do the deluxe editions and highwayman outfit have similar problems, or is it safe to claim them? (Also, the highwayman is one per character and not one altogether, right?)

A patch came out this afternoon that appears to have fixed the bag and pre-order/deluxe claim issues.

The costumes are not only per-character, you can claim them multiple times on one character it seems.

Still getting a client version error when logging in. Works fine when I use a VPN to update and switch back once on the login screen. If I turn the VPN off and start the launcher, it patches to an older version again. People have been reporting this for a day now, and Carbine still haven't even acknowledged it. Talk about wilful ignorance.

Can we get a Carbine version of :soe: that is just the company logo shattering completely?

Well we managed to pack in 350~ goons into the guild on warbringer today. Server is high-full pop so it looks like this was the right call. Thanks to everyone who helped get things established today by either contributing to the guild fund or helping invite. Lots of time was spent sitting still inviting people into the guild. Just a reminder to all to get their characters added to the auth. We will likely hit the cap on the guild by launch on tuesday.

We go play orbital catch around the curvature of the earth, son.
Overall this game's questing hub stuff is a tangled mess. So many times I clear an area only to find that there was just one thing that I was meant to pick up which means i have to back through it again to clear that as well. There's also a LOT of downtime spent trying to find 'that one last bear rear end' to finish a quest, and things like bizarre enemy respawn layouts hold the player back.

My questbook is full of quests I flat out gave up on because they were a hassle for me to want to have anything to do with, or meant tedious backtracking. I have yet to abandon them and they are now clogging my quest manual - I should probably clear some of them already.

The feeling I get playing is like a big pastel landscape that's had razor wire borders laced over it for where 'questing zones' occur in a somewhat haphazard manner. I'd say that guild wars 2 overall did questing better than this game, for all the game's flaws.

Still, the good parts of the game shine through. There's been some good missions and the challenge factor is just starting to kick in against enemies for me now that I'm hitting the upper teen levels.

It's so weird to have that nice communicator system and then still have poo poo like seven quests long quest lines where you need to haul rear end(es) between Bear Cave Island and quest NPC. The communicator is sometimes barely used, especially for giving quests, and the maps the game has to offer are pretty look at, but messy to look through. Illium is a really fun example with how you can't sort out the very numerous city guards from the map without removing... vendors? I think.

So, I managed to find a way from the elder vault up into the space station above it. Kinda. I can't reproduce it since I fell down though.

That is a lot of goon invites. I'm gonna make my character on the goon server later today. What is the guild member cap in the game? Are we going to be able to fit all the goons in a single guild? Is this the return of the swarm?

Supposedly the cap is 500. If it is, I'll make a guild for alts instead of letting them in Squad.

Are the challenges ever worth doing? The rewards seem pretty lame for the effort you put into them.

By about 14 or 15 the challenges settle into a routine of;

Tradeskill Supplies
Med kit/food/amps
Housing item/dyes/green gear
Blue gear


The blue gear tends to be very nice for the level

I have a question please for someone who has played esper/spellslinger or medic already in the beta to a degree. I only got mine up to like level 15 and i cannot decide. Which of these 3 is the one with the most "survivability", the most tricks up a sleeve or the one who can be everywhere at once (no stalker)? I don't care about tanking or dps parses i care about staying alive in pvp and usually pick a class with staying power.

edit, Also i would like to complain that i cannot make a chua warrior.
