Allright. Once I'm not phone posting I'll do that. In the meantime any guild specifics or whatever can get added too since all that's there now are placeholders.

When we start our guild we have to go rogue and our name has to be "Rogues Just Want To Have Fun" or "Goons Just Want To Have Fun", basically any Cyndi Lauper reference is acceptable.

It's a channel within a channel. If you can't find it just make a new one.

Short answer is they appear in your skills window as spendable on whatever skill you want as a boost. Long answer is more words than I would like to type here.

You go to SI station, click on skill, slider appears, use slider to invest SI points into a specific skill.

Goon Squad has been created as a Rogue nation on the East server. You will need to press "n" to view your nation tab and leave your current nation. After 5 minutes, send Rehab Submarine a tell and I'll invite you to our Nation.

Note: To send a tell, you need to do /tell Rehab Submarine, This is some message. Requires a comma in order to do it, which has thrown a few of us through loops.

I'd hit their message boards since most of us went through the client based on the hero engine website. Issue a steam support ticket if it's all jammed up.

Does this game have the worst quest location help of any mmo ever or am I missing something big.

In the starting city I have maybe 10 quests. A few have the arrows at the edge of the minimap, but as you move toward them they disappear or jump 180 degrees. Mousing over every dot on either map does not reveal the dudes I'm supposed to find nor are they on the list when I hit Track. How are you supposed to find these guys?

Boy the steam version seems kind of janky. I deleted my client to redownload the steam version but I guess it patches or something during a load screen cause it just sits on the splash screen for the game after selecting a server.

The entire game is super janky. For a massive performance increase I recommend forcing v-sync through your driver control panels.

Just a heads up for people that are questing or trying to, NPC's can be killed and you'll need to wait for them to respawn. Also I'll toss my space bucks over when I get back from work.

On the repopulation website you can request a steam key in the same spot as your old key. It has to be activated same as the first and apparently there's a limited number though I got one immediately.

Do you enjoy crafting? Right now that's the primary area that this game succeeds in right now, in my opinion.

Combat can be pretty fun when you have a group, but it's still pretty standard MMO click a button and you attack.

Most of the enemies we've faced so far are monsters or melee. So we kite or strafe to move. You can dance around some of the stuff and dodge roll. The nice thing is you can revive on field as long as you have the skill. I'd suggest getting it first go in the tutorial or as soon as your out in the main city.

There is currently a bug where sometimes NPCs just spam chat until they reboot the area. This makes any sort of communication basically impossible.

Is there any sort of self heal? I have the med scanner and bandages and the bandage skill but they don't seem to work on self.

Also, when Plymouth City quests become mostly repeats should I take that shuttlle or is there somewhere I should just run to?

ComradeBigT

The med scanner totally should work on yourself assuming you target yourself. I can't remember if bandages do too just because I ran out of the item to use.

As for missions apparently the ones further away from the starting area pay much better, at least according to some guy on the repop forums, so i assume it's worth looking in the contested areas for missions.

Dr. Video Games 0155

Contested areas usually yield combat-only missions unless its in the same area as OWON/FPR base. Bandages DO work on you, unfortunately you have to target yourself first then use them.
