Wow, apparently NFA is dead as well now? That's surprising to me, I thought they were the 4chan guild. Are there any guilds on the server either alive or not filled with shitheads?

Touch Fluffy Tail is the 4chan guild that is still alive, but they mostly play the race that we don't talk about here.

TFT is cool and fine but they don't recruit as openly as NFA does. If you're moderately active on /a/ you can get in.

Why couldn't they let popori be reapers too. It's more than just not wanting to be an elin, it's because a fat raccoon assassin with scythes would be hilarious.

ESO is great now. It's action combat is just about as good as TERA imo and the gearing system is way less frustrating. That said, I do have a bit of an itch to pick up TERA again...

Say what you will about TERA but "ESO is great now" is about as much of a flat out lie as there is. :v:

It's typically vague of them. http://tera.enmasse.com/news/posts/happy-third-anniversary-tera Doesn't hurt to poke in to check though, I believe the exp bonus will be displayed towards the mid left of the screen just above the chat window?

"Leveling Event: Everyone receives double XP while hunting, in addition to free rewards upon reaching certain levels (starting at level 12). These rewards range from free trials of elite status, gold, boosts, crystals, and even cosmetics. This event will last until Tuesday, June 2, and we will be releasing full details on this event very soon."

There isn't a Goon Guild anymore. NFA is kinda dead too apparently. You don't really need a lot of people to play with though, so just pick whichever realm name you like the most and if you've got 4 friends then you're good for pretty much everything.

To further elaborate on the NFA being kinda dead thing, the guild has been gradually shedding members since about the time the guild dropped below rank 20. A lot of them have been jumping ship to TFT, I guess? That being said NFA's membership seems to be more inactive than fleeing. It is uncertain how long this situation will persist or if it will at any point reverse. Wait and see I guess.

If it doesn't change tomorrow then it's probably permanent.

I giggle like a girl every time I time bomb/grenade/scatter, dodge, scatter something. Tera is all about action combat and this removes it by making it so I just walk up to something and blowing it the gently caress up before it can do anything to me. Also the level 10 skill is just :getin: :black101:

The gunner might actually be more fun than the lancer. I didn't think it was possible, but it might be.

Here is the official fun class tier list:

Lancer/gunner
Berserker/priest
Everyone else, who gives a poo poo
Doing taxes
Mystic

The gunner class looks really fun, I did play a Lancer which I really enjoyed and the Gunner gameplay looks awesome

You should be able to as long as you have the email and you can recount your personal info on the account and your secret question. Additionally since you had a boxed copy you get eight character slots and some other perks for being a "Founder" account.

Edit: Or hell I guess you weren't asking that exactly. Yes all accounts are still around, it's pretty simple to request a password reset if you have access to the email you used to sign up with.

Yea thats sounds cool I'll probably give the game another spin then it was quite a cool solo game to be honest even if it was an MMO

I was in the same position, but be aware that it'll ask you a security question, so I hope you remember the answer. I ended up remembering the password, so thank god for that.

Also when I logged in I got a giant crab mech mount and it's amazing :allears: so be sure to check your item claim, there'll probably be a shitload of blue and purple fires and charms and free mounts.

I can't say enough how impressed I am with the gunner (along with the improvements they're still making to the game overall). They added basically every cool gun type as a skill. The shotgun and shock combo are satisfying, grenade and time bomb are both useful, you have a charge buster, a really meaty chain gun, and even the basic attack feels good to use. Only thing missing is a charge up death laser, but from perusing the skill list it looks like I just haven't gotten to it yet. Can't speak for pvp balance, but I've read they have a really low base crit rate and their mobility deels lower middle of the pack.

The gunner specific armor skins also look cool and are surprisingly conservative for this game.

According to pubbies at lumbertown gunner is king shitheel of pvp duels because they can poo poo on archers.

IMO, they're complete garbage and bait for people with too much money, unless you REALLY like cosmetics. If you want to put some cash in, tack a month on for 15 bucks. It doubles your exp and money along with some other nice tertiary benefits/conveniences.

Elite's second most significant bonus perk is that you get a 'Village Atlas'. This item lets you Teleport, at will, to any village or city in the game at any time (beyond the tutorial). You essentially get to skip every flightpath while you have elite.

Edit: You also get an item that lets you choose (I think) three bind points anywhere in the world that you can teleport to at will and change whenever you feel like it. Elite's pretty nice especially since they let you get it with EMP now.

I've been trying to get in touch with you but I can't remember which of the horrible names polluting my steam friends list is you. I've been leveling my mystic a bit but it'd be fun to play together again. I had a lot of fun when we were a ghetto static of three farming kelsaik's to help gear each other up, the game's a lot of fun when you don't have to ever deal with the lovely community outside of our circle.

edit: my character is also apparently still in DGKK and there's a long list of applicants, mostly pub but a handful of goons as well... I don't have permission to accept applicants and DGKK is totally dead at the moment, but if you transfer permission to Kilobyte I can try to get the ball rolling again I guess. Probably better to try to resurrect NFA though.
