Oh, let's break it down!

Protip for those that don't know:

You get a free 60% permanent mount (Hornscute) and 50,000 credits for your first time buying any argents. The lowest price is $2.99 worth of argents from the shop which gets you 2500. So for 3$ you get a permanent license for your rhino, 50k credits, and 2500 argents. Not a bad deal! :)

So if you just buy the 2.99 argent from the in game shop you get all that? That's a pretty sweet deal.

I was kind of worried about customization/dress-up when I found out costumes were whole-body, but okay that's a lot of options, assuming they're all in-game. :catstare:

Strangely, when you do the holo-class-training thing it says you unlock both class outfits as well as the hats for those outfits - I got the outfits, but only one hat (the archer one), I don't know what's up with that.

sadly unfunny

This game is kind of alarmingly glitchy, and I say that as a veteran of Champions Online at launch. It's okay for a free game but I'd be kind of pissed if I paid $20 to get in.

Do you get drastically more sparks for doing missions on a team? The atlas seems awfully slow.

There's a bunch of costumes missing from the store (for argents), and I guess some are unlocked through progression, in addition to the decent amount we have available now.

I believe the headwear is supposed to be unique to that class, the exception being archer because they also get a mask.

There is a group bonus but it's kind of small (like 6% for a 3-man group).

Thing is, as your Prestige gets higher you unlock harder versions of missions, which have higher base spark payouts. And then can have x2 or x3 multipliers on top. So spark income speeds up after you've been playing a while.

e: This is on top of missions that open up later having higher intrinsic payouts (before additional difficulties), bonus sparks for quick completion, and the (semi?) random additional side objectives that sometimes get added when you do a mission (displayed below the mission summary when you start, or viewed with F11)

I was taking a mission when the game offered to let me try out Knight. I wasn't that impressed with the class but the execution move consists of uppercutting your opponent into a summoned eagle. :911:

Every time I try to accept the alternate class, I always spawn as my main :saddowns:

Finally hit 2100 prestige and I'm just getting started with the followers and adept thing. Never having played a browser based rpg, that system is going to take some getting used to.

It's nice to play a game that's so familiar yet so very different from anything else out there.

Apparently once you max out a class you get a different costume. The slayer one looks like tactical gear. Completely different than the default. So that's 13 costumes otherwise unaccounted for.

Smug as fuck.
Protips for cool people who unlocked necromancer

1- your abilities that consume hp will take into account shields. There is a trait that gives you a sheild on dodge, helpful to reduce self damage

2- use shadows of the past to unload your abilities without spending hp. You will keep the lich form juice you generate. With good timing you should be able to summon a pet and use 2 abilities before you revert back.

3-your out of combat hp regen is reduced because gently caress you. There is a talent that removes this and gives you reduced incoming traumatic damage. I have no idea what traumatic damage is but this talent is very good for ease of life.

4-nobody will ever let you regen out of combat because your group will always have a zerker who chain pulls. Prepare for this.

Traumatic damage is caused by enemy AoE attacks. It's meant to punish ranged characters, as melee characters get a 50% reduction to traumatic damage from their additional weapon.

I guess that talent is there to compensate for the Necromancer's mobility compared to other ranged classes.

Hit 3100 prestige and ran my first instance.

They're way harder than I expected, especially for the first one. I don't know what buffs were happening but I hit for 14k twice in a row and had multiple 10k hits. There's something about the way numbers tick up that make those big hits feel awesome. You know it's going to be good when it starts but then there's a gambley feel as it goes up wondering where it will stop. Loot sucked, hopefully that changes.

I guess technically that was my second instance as those things are... less then doable solo.

The first 5-man is really hard at 3100 prestige, but overall it's pretty easy. The trash is way more difficult than the bosses. But even then what usually causes wipes are people not focusing targets or getting caught in bubbles.

The real advantage to running 5-mans is the increased reward at the end. If it's not a 3x/2x, whether it's worth it will depend on how smoothly your run goes, but at least they're fun.

They had a bug where the price for argents went below the minimum so they reset it to 160 and refunded the difference to those who sold cheaper. Hence the chart.

It's a specific mission. Construct something something. If you just joined the guild, it will take until the next mission refresh for it to show up.

If it makes you feel better, unlocking abilities for a class past the basic abilities use class specific sparks which drop from kills. You will still get normal sparks you can use too.

So in essence you can unlock more class stuff while also working towards your new class.

capping out your class (getting all the nodes in the class atlas) + having premium gets you sparks of evolution which you can use for any node in any class tree
