So I unlocked Blood Harvest on my slayer. I switched my blue Backflip (+120% damage to Backflip on <50% HP) with a blue Blood Harvest one (+120% damage to Blood Harvest), in addition to 3 of my amulets having bonus damage to BH. I'm killing bosses on impossible in under a minute. Did Thais Temple impossible, killed Protheus before he could summon Naiads and the boss before that in 30 seconds. Hell, I'm starting trash pulls by dropping Blood Harvest on a Thug or Enchanter; I deal with the other mobs while they die off screen.

7500 for this week. Any extra you got from last week counted towards this week's cap. So if you had 50 sparks to cap and you finished a mission that gave you 100. That extra 50 was subtracted from this week.

So all the people who ran Mare right before hitting the end of last weeks allotment didn't actually gain anything aside from getting those points early.

That extra 50 was subtracted from this week. 7500 is a lower cap than we had week one. I'm guessing that the limit we got last week was from making a new character and not the baseline for where the cap increases will start. Either way, we'll get our new classes and about 1-2 clusters.

I'm not seeing any way to dismiss adepts in the Order screen. Are you stuck with whatever lovely newbie ones you recruit filling up your cap once you start being able to recruit better ones? VVV: Okay, I guess I'm not to that part yet. I'm waiting for an adept to get back from Isola Digs or something. WarLocke fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Jul 15, 2015 |

PSA for goons- Do the x2 missions with X class in solo mode. This lets you play a class with all base abilities unlocked. It also does some weird math and is actually x3 total sparks at the end. Dont ask why.

Just got in game - Poop socks away! I have no clue what I am doing but seem to be in a tutorial mission as a Cryo - that russian video just told me to play as a Paladin or Lightbinder - should I switch or if I've clicked a few nodes am I too late?

If you do it solo it seems to work fine.

RottenK posted:I did a few of those missions and it sucked. Have fun going through the dungeon with no weapons, player :/ The biggest problem with playing a new class is not knowing what the gently caress is going on and dying to the first trash pack a couple of times to figure it out. I thought archer sucked poo poo until arrow swapping clicked and then I just burned thais temple to the ground. Having a weapon doesn't fix this very much, since your weapon doesn't give you a weapon damage range like in a traditional rpg sense. It just gives you a pile of might, which you can make up with might nodes on the atlas and might rings/amulets.

A lot of people have yet to discover that basic upgrades don't count for poo poo in Skyforge. If you go around upgrading your stats, your prestige rises and you wind up fighting harder things, so it takes an identical amount of time to kill anything. That's the way it works in MMOs in general, but there's no curtain over the harsh truth in Skyforge because you're running literally the exact same stages with the exact same monsters, just buffed up. What does get you ahead of the curve is unlocking abilities and talents. Double your HP and things just hit you twice as hard, you never move up on the treadmill. Unlock some amulets and talents that get you a 50% damage bonus and suddenly you're killing stuff fast. TL;DR: Don't activate an orb unless it's on the way to a class, talent, or ability that you want. Real progression in Skyforge comes from those three things.

Or if a mission demands it. Also it may or may not be a requirement to get amulets. Rewards seem to be really poorly balanced and I hope the queue situation improves once the game opens up.

Anoia posted:This is why I saved all the special edition weapons of classes I haven't played yet. You can't equip gear for a promo class. Also, your stats are drastically different and you have a bunch of talents that aren't shown. I noticed this when playing promo Slayer, a class I already have. It gave me a ton of Spirit and talents from the end of the Slayer atlas. The problem is the builds are often pretty bad; the Kinetic and Slayer promos both skip some of their best skills and talents in favor of much weaker ones, so it's a poor representation of how effective the class actually is. Tilda posted:Just got in game - Poop socks away! Cryo isn't that bad, it's just kinda boring and often rough for a new player. It also has the worst symbol of the three by far. Then again I don't like Lightbinder either. Switching will put you behind if your goal is to unlock a new class, but not too much.

Morglon posted:Or if a mission demands it. Also it may or may not be a requirement to get amulets. If you mean rewards from adventures, it takes into account a hidden value (basically the same as proficiency) and the expected duration of the adventure. Of course, that doesn't take into account poo poo like being able to run Port Naori in 5 minutes or some boss or pulls being awfully slow for certain classes until you take specific talents/symbols/skills. Hell, I love Thais Temple because when running it solo, I can cut the run time to half the expected. All the bosses have weird mechanics that the Slayer happily ignores.

Yeah pretty much that. I burned through one of the dungeons in ten minutes for almost 300 sparks. Guess I better farm some more for my next class then. Also who do i bug for an invite to the thing?

The next upgrade has stalled because the voting system is loving terrible. Maybe we should just start a second pantheon because it takes forever to wait for all the clan leaders to get on and vote for poo poo.

Yeah, making more pantheons just multiplies the work involved for no real profit. The amount of poo poo we've had to plow through to increase the guild size is only a relatively small portion of the total guild upgrades that need building, so if we made multiple guilds we'd have to crank out multiple store upgrades, buff upgrades, etc. for every one. Assuming I'm reading the pantheon construction screen correctly, a maxed guild supports 15^2, so 225 members. That should be ample for our needs, we just need to keep plugging.

Pretty sure I've seen three or four different Lightbinder wands, not counting the special founder's version. Rest assured that custom weapon skins will probably be in the cash shop some day, though.

There are totally multiple weapon looks but I'm not sure how to tell without equipping them. Some of them are different and some aren't but it doesn't seem to correlate to rarity or anything.

The devs are posting a lot of info on the russian website. Here's the gist of some of the answers from the first Responses to player suggestions article: - Respecs, builds and limits. They are planning on adding an ability to save several builds and switch between them without having to manually repick all the skills and perks. Probably will have to pay the same cost as now to switch. - Auto scaling of characters in group content to a certain level There will not be a system like that, everyone stays at their full power. - Earning sparks through Order activities No. Sparks can only be earned by playing the game, Adept mission will never reward them. - Adept equipement Ability to equip your adepts with gear to infuence their stats is one of the possibilities that they see for expanding the Order stuff in the future. -  Butt physics Already implemented, but not fine tuned. They will work on this after they finish working on breast physics.- Selecting multiple items for disassembly instead of doing it one by one This is planned and will be added to the game at a later stage. - Creating sets of rings for classes Ring presets for classes are a planned feature, but it will not be implemented any time soon. There's a lot more in there, but it's dumb crap that doesn't matters. Also i'm lazy and it's prety late here. Don't forget that all this is in relation to the russian version, not the one we play. No idea how fast or slow the changes that'll eventually happen there will get here.
