I dunno. The land situation is really lovely, but the things I am able to do are pretty fun, especially for a game I pay no real money for anymore. Excited to spend way too much on those trees.

Doesn't its existence basically confirm TS are a per-tree chance and not an "x amount per server per day" thing?

They also announced that the 10% discount for patrons that was removed shortly after launch is being reintroduced (after many tears) as a 10% bonus on all credit purchases that were not apart of the founder's/starter's packages, so people are extremely salty about it not being the original discount and not applying to like 90% of people.

Honestly the only thing that could possibly get me back into this game is the silly idea I had about submarines allowing you to do solo piracy. If the thunderstruck price comes crashing down, building a sub might actually be possible too.

Someone tell me how lovely they are so I don't end up actually trying this.

They nerfed the poo poo out of subs with the beta 1.2 patch, and they won't be getting any better when implemented here.

This whole "I'm unimportant in ArcheAge, but I'll ban you in some other MMO where I'm a neckbeard personality because you hosed with my fish" thing is just too funny.

It actually is pretty funny. Especially because this game will be forgotten pretty quickly once we get bored of harpooning boats.

FruitNYogurtParfait posted:

update: after getting the runaround by people who ostensibly know and asking a bunch of people who don't know I got about as straight an answer as I'll get unless mittani tells me why himself

That answer is digi(goonfleet spy catcher and creepy rear end in a top hat) banned him for reasons hinted on spying/"mixed loyalties" and I got a few assurances from a guy I've known for a long time and he's never lied so I truly do him that said it had nothing to do with this drama

It would be pretty tough to spy without any active accounts, but it could be because I'm still friends with a lot of people in my old alliance, IDK.

But there is this:

quote:

<Midge> so Kimsemus https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/Kimsemus go gently caress yourself
<Midge> victory
<balistafreak> did you
<ThirdWorldRaygun> explain to me the eve link
<balistafreak> are you serious
<Midge> got him kicked from goonwaffe
<Midge> shrekt
<Midge> i didnt really go out of my way
<Midge> im a director in gsf... it took 0 effort

So you know, someone's poo poo does stink. I'm so anti-spy, I wouldn't even forum dump when I left my old alliance, and had to write this really weird PR fluff piece on TMC to prove my loyalties or something. I have/had a pretty good 1 on 1 relationship with mittens though, there really isn't any hard feelings if they decide to keep me out, I literally don't play anymore and only keep my accounts in case I get a wild hair and want to come back to EVE when Legion comes out or something.

I agree with Dante, that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.
The official forums are a glorious place right now.

quote:


Trion: Submitting a formal complaint/inquiry to the US Federal Gaming/Gambling commission

So you can be monitored/regulated like every other for-profit based casino. Casino's are getting crushed these days with massive layoffs, so hopefully they will take an interest in your marketplace operations, giving the odds-based reward for real money system you have employed.

Your silence while you cash grab is totally understandable, as you are under no obligation to justify and/or explain your decisions to us. Maybe if someone very official starting asking very serious questions, you might have to actually explain the decisions you make.

I see no problem with the rumbling trees being introduced because the entire thunderstruck system was stupid bullshit. I mean if you had to actually earn the trees rather than it being pure RNG bullshit I would have an issue with it.

You don't need a submarine to solo pirate. I do it all the the time. What you do need is stealth, shadowstep, and swimfins. Hang out between cinder stone and solzreed. People run through there with packs all the time on clippers. Use stealth and swimfins to get close and shadowstep to victory.

Solo harpoon clipper works as well. By hitting numlock before you jump off the wheel you can keep speed for a bit and once the harpoon lands you can just reel them in till you're in shadowstep range.

Straight up stealing fishing boats can also be done solo. Just stealth around the boat till only one or two people are on it. Get to the wheel and take off. If they try and get to you use the AoE fear in witchcraft and they'll run off the boat.

I only wish they were also available for guilda. Anything that drops the stupidly high price of archeum and thunderstruck's is an excellent decision imo. The FYGM crowd took a real hit to the nuts tonight, and I love it.

I've tried this. Its a whole lot of sitting in the water waiting for marks that barely ever come. Its fun when you get bites but I've had too many stretches of 0 action to keep doing it. The submarine has a radar upgrade which made me think I could use it for piracy since I would be able to actually hunt down ships rather than hoping they pass by close enough.

Stealth is redundant by the way. Nobody can see you if you just linger 3 feet under the surface of the water.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
DBRB got kicked from goon squad for creating drama. This is pretty much going to other goon communities and trying to get kimsemus kicked.

If we kicked for drama, most goons would be gone from the guild. If this was for comedy, it would of been fine and someone who kicked him would of reinvited him right away. That didn't happen.

DBRB is a lovely person for sure, and kicking him for that is about the same thing. Not quite, but close enough. DBRB acting like an idiot and sperg means he will hang him self within the goon community sooner or later and I don't want to remove his chance to do that within AA.

I will reinvite him back, and if he gets kicked, I kick kimsemus. Thems the rule.

If he keeps getting kicked, I keep removing people with kick powers.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
So with this expansion there are boxes that drop seeds that are 10% chance for thundersrtuck trees after 60 minutes.

This has tanked the economy to funny levels and it hasn't slowed down at all.

First page of thunderstruck trees are at buyouts of 289-300 gold.

Korean servers, the trees are at 50 gold, but they have a few more things to lower the price.

I'm going to guess by tomorrow it will be about 100 gold per tree, but this is low balling it greatly. The price is dropping at a steady rate though.
