I think Lockdown is definitely the best RMB lock addon. Not having to switch it on and off during quest accepts and whatnot is great.

For those that use Lockdown, I have a quesiton. I have my LMB bound to 1, but then when I turn off Lockdown and try to move the mouse around manually, I just activate whatever power is bound to my LMB. How do I get around this so I can still move the camera around manually to view the front of my character?

Ugh I really wish you could change paths before a certain level in this game. I was originally set on scientist, but in the last few days before headstart I decided I really wanted to go explorer for the cool outfit and for the transponder beacon. Now I'm level 17 and I really wish I had done scientist because the port to capital, summon, sweet goggles, customizable scanbot, and awesome titles sound way better.

How much of an asperger would I have to be to reroll now? I'm really really tempted.

Wait, what cool stuff do SETTLERS get? :ohdear:

Look in chat options to view RP mode chat and you prefix anything you say with {*} for RP mode.

So Explorers, do you get to open up secret areas for others or discover hidden caves etc? I found an lab that required a Scientist to open it and a crowd of players waiting around for one. That seemed pretty cool and nifty.

Yeah I've found several caves and things that were labeled with the explorer icon. My favorite has been when I had to eat a mushroom to shrink and fit through a tiny crack and inside was a smoking caterpillar and a mad hatter having a tea party.

So anyone dabbled in crafting much? I'm working on Apprentice Architect and this is infuriating as hell where 95% of the time the ability to reach a target for one of the tech tree targets is purely random luck. Half the time even when I DO reach the target; when I select the final additive it moves off the target one way or another. In some cases I had to craft 15 of an item I didn't want just to hit the target that I actually wanted to craft three times.

Is there some trick to making it be somewhat controllable or is this just a random luck based system?

edit: ^ I think it means you can trade between factions now.

Confirmed that the limit on guilds is 500 members. <Goon Squad> on Warbringer now has a guild for alts, the <Protostar Goon Initiative>. For a time being, I'm going to be in the alt guild to help quickly migrate alts over, since we have quite a few in the guild. If you want to go ahead and move your alts over, just whisper Katten in-game, and please include your wsgoons forum name like before. I think the others will start purging alts from the guild today, so if you suddenly find out you're not in the guild, this is why.

Other than that, I just hope there's a way we can sync guild chats.

I'm pretty sure it just means you can have a character of both factions on that server, as opposed to only being able to make characters for one faction.

Maybe if they gave setters a few cosmetic structures they could build permanently would be pretty cool. Like a buff that turns you into a race of the opposite faction for an hour, then another setter comes along and upgrades it and now it lasts two hours etc.

So I asked this in the old thread, but is this game fun enough to excuse the attempts at "humor" that seem to pervade every bit of promotional material they release? I mean, those hamster folks look PRETTY Wahahacky! And some edgy dick jokes too, man! I enjoyed GW2 a lot, WoW not so much, if that helps.

Is there a trainable skill for Farming or is it just base and everyone has it? I see nodes in the world with grains and stuff, and it says "Requires Tier 1 Farming" but I don't see that I have Farming skill anywhere and I can still farm it. I'm not sure how it works, does anyone know?

This is from beta but still a decent write up about paths.

I tried out Scientist for a few levels and although I love the idea of the bot, the scanning of what seems like everything is too buggy and tedious for me to be fun. Just started Explorer and enjoying it a lot more because it's a brand new world anyway and what better way to discover cool things then to well...explore! Settler sends my OCD into overdrive and I never get anything done. Too much clicky and sparkly things to distract me and not in a good way. Plus, it seems like a popular path anyway and there's never a lack of stations set up everywhere at least in the starting zones.

So the client version error is still going strong, with no resolution in sight. They've got a thread dedicated to it but still seem to be giving it a lower priority than whiny babies having trouble redeeming their bonus items.

I'm at the point where I'd ask for a refund, but I do plan on playing this game at some point, and I don't feel like losing my preorder stuff. :sigh:

I played engineer to 17 and switched to warrior. Zapping dudes is neat but you're always channeling some kind of giant fuckoff beam, bomb, or some other contraption so you are moving slow for almost the entirety of combat. The bots are kind of janky and they straight up disappeared on me a few times in the first adventure. At least they're cute :3:

I'm only up to level 7 on my new warrior but it is more to my taste. So far I'm just rounding up mobs, kicking them over, then mashing my "hit with sword" buttons until they die. I'm sure I'll appreciate having a leap AND a death grip when I start tanking though.

If only my warrior could be a chua :sigh:
