Scientist can summon groups which is really nice. Also some speed buff or something? Not sure.

Scientists' other two (besides group summon) are an ability on a short timer that lets you reduce aggro radius and a portal back to their capital city that isn't on a literal one-day cooldown, AKA convenience.

But every OCD completionist who can't get in the stupid Scientist doors will be begging for your rear end to come push a button for them. And if you stick with it you eventually find weird poo poo like water balloons you can chuck at people and make them cry. If anything says Science it's random, unwarranted cruelty. At least that's what Mondo taught me.

Personally I picked Explorer because I wanted to focus on leveling over everything else and minimize interactable objects that would distract me.

This was wise. I'm a Settler at level 15 and I still can't stop clicking all the things. Makes leveling slow, but I can't help myself.

I picked the Chua with the face that looks like the Chuck Jones version of The Grinch.

So when I get that ongoing 'naked on character select login' bug, it's just him staring at me slightly angrily in a "What??" face in his undies like I just caught a roommate changing clothes.

You can go ahead and kick my Medic Solace from Goon Squad to make room for someone's main because all my friends are buttheads and rolled on the RP server. I'll move it to PGI later today or tomorrow since I'm not likely to play it as much.

It says to dig in the north near the small termimite mounds. I'm in the north, I clicked the objective to get the guide arrow, and it points me right to this spot, but the meter isn't even on, so no "dig" button.

I'm assuming "Guest Accounts" cannot get invites? I did all the auth poo poo on the website and if someones on either guild QTpop could use one.

If not, its cool. Gonna wait til I can score a 20%+ off to buy full retail anyways. But I figure GMG will have another code up this week.

Those missions are goddamn horrible. The spot to dig is randomised for each character so you'll need to run around the area and watch that meter and dig when it starts to fill up. Scavenger hunt digs are the worst part about the Explorer path.

Hit g to dig. I'm pretty sure nothing in the game when you play explorer tells you this.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. The sprint function is a completely arbitrary feature to make the game seem more "actiony", when it doesn't work in a MMORPG. It's just plain bad.

...

For travel situations, I think we can all agree that sprinting is tedious & not fun, and should be removed -- it is only making my pinkie sore after days of playing. Even worse is that you even need to sprint while mounted.

My pinkie boo hoo.

Why even have alternate classes? It just makes the game needlessly complicated. Why even have extra abilities at all for that one class? Lets just make one class, one race, with one ability and be done with it.

Sprint gives you the ability to close gaps on melee, avoid telegraphs if you're cautious about using it, and makes platforming a lot easier

Sorry, but I just can't see how someone can argue that something like sprint is tedious. Its another resource to manage, makes the game more dynamic, and serves as another separator between good players and great players. If it bothers you, you can likely make an addon that just spams sprint anytime you move and you can pretend it doesn't exist.

I thought we were making fun of people on the official forums for complaining about this, but I guess not!
