I thought they said it was there to stymie bots, but if you can just buy the potions then idk. :confused:

I thought so too, but wouldn't they just code them to attack crystals? Isn't the stamina replenish off of them area wide? Thought I saw that in the cbt2 stream

http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/ That is a link to a decent ToS class skill builder. You can even find some builds on that site.

When you finish the third level of the Crystal Mine area



you do not go down to the marked area.

This is an unmarked exit into a level 120 zone that will catch you by surprise. Monsters will be waiting for you at the entrance when you load in. You will die.

When you die, you lose every unused gem in your inventory, so it's a good idea to stash them when you have the chance. Also a lot of item durability.

What's the latest word on how many invites they plan to give out for the english stuff? Is this going to be the sort of hard to get type of thing or everyone and their mom will get one?

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
They gave out 5000, and the giveaway for this round has already ended. They haven't sad how later tests will be handled.

They definitely got that poo poo on lockdown. (It's so good.)

Seriously, this soundtrack is by far the best I have ever heard in an mmo, and I thought guild wars soundtrack couldn't be beat. Actually, this is probably the best soundtrack I have ever heard in any film or game.

I really didn't want to relive iRO days and hop on this bandwagon, but this soundtrack is making me think twice

The korean beta was finally exp scaled the other day according to what it's actually supposed to be, after many days of exp events and upped rates. International CBT launches with real rates and grind parties are forming already at level 25+. The grind is real people. It is very real.

It's kinda deceptive because the grind seems pretty slow and then you kill a blue mob which gives you a level on its own. :v:

It's fun but also very grindy. Though, if you're posting in here then you probably already expected it to be grindy, so that may not exactly come as a shock to you.

Exp rates are boosted for testing purposes. Some people are saying up to 4x, but I don't know where they get this info. Apparently the Korean server has a higher boosted rate than the English one for some reason.

Thanks. I expected a grind because I just want RO 2 so I'm happy this looks so good.

Grind isn't even a problem for me as long as playing the game is fun. I don't mind taking 3 years to reach cap if that's the content/fun.

Been a long time since I just grouped up and talked to people in a game while grinding mobs. Made lots of buddies already. World of Warcraft (and clones) has nothing on this game.

There are achievements to do that give rewards like hair colour etc, the cards that drop ingame have a cardgame attached to them. That's from what I've seen

It's going around that the Korean testers said the grind was too much, so that's why their CBT3 has 3x exp.

A part of me thinks they meant the grind was too much "for the length of this CBT" in terms of actually reaching the high end classes. I don't mind a grind without a time limit.

Well, this is amusing: if you're an archer, just use kneeling shot by a spawn area and then put something heavy on your attack button. AFK grinding whee!
