Heres a question about unlocking things. I got the collectors edition so I have Alchemist and Knight unlocked, but I am unable to go from Alchemist to Gunner, theres a lock icon on the node in the atlas, do I have to start from the three classes and work my way to gunner that way or am I missing something?

You have to go through the starting 3 atlas nodes, regardless if you already have the other classes unlock through packages.

Probably because of the content drop. It was released not long after the RU version went into open beta, and that poo poo takes a while to be localized. They of course couldn't release any more patches until that was done. Their plan is to catch up to the RU version and then stay in sync, and it looks like this patch will achieve this, or at least be pretty close.

Good to hear. Being in sync will be great so announcements will actually mean something instead of some hazy future where we might get it when we finally get that round of patches.

Hopefully they take another pass at some of the translations and maybe, just maybe, include information on some of the passive buffs and executes do.

It took me a really long time to figure out that Deadly Experiment talent on Alch was referring to its execute. :v:

edit - also while we're talking about necromancer, it would be real nice to have a different colour on their health bar when they're in lich form. it's infuriating as a support to be in the thick of things and not be able to figure out immediately if the necro is oh-my-god-please-shield-me dying or nah-bro-it's-cool-i'm-fake dying.

Hopefully we also get a Path of Exile kind of builder as well.

Until then look at this chart and despair:


Been playing this game and I love it, but just one point on this.

There is the Class grid
Then the main grid (as per that screen shot)
There is the God Grid once you get that unlocked
Then there are the new grids per enemy type for Invasions that the Russians either have or are getting soon.

This game is making every other progression system seem like light weights, and the game isn't even released yet so god knows what other grids they are going to add in.

How exactly can you make anything other than a basic builder as this game is becoming very very silly, and I love it.

Hopefully I can grab an invite. I'm only 666 prestige at the moment. I'm slowly playing this until controller support comes in, then I'll be more involved. hosed this keyboard and mouse tomfoolery.

The trick to figuring this poo poo out, besides testing, is looking for Russian guides for your class. Some of their tooltips are just as misleading as ours, usually not because of mismatched names but rather strange or unclear wording, but they've had much longer to figure them out. And because most guides use pictures, it's pretty easy to match them up with our own versions of the skills.

Your queue actually popped? Must not have been 10v10. I guess I'm just writing off getting this upgrade ring since I haven't had the 10v10 queue pop after sitting in it for two hours.

The prestige scaling on the 11th should fix that I guess?

Yeah because we totally need to fight a guild full of people attempting to min max with our force of about 10 high prestige goons.

Unless that catch up program is in the coming patch and we get some more people that are actually down with this game then I don't think we stand much of a chance in this insane scale guild pvp poo poo. We have the members, we don't have the drive or the power.

I will probably poo poo talk him anyway though because that is what I do.

The prestige scaling is officially confirmed for the patch and that should fix PvP queues, yeah. But in the RU version that was the same patch that introduced the catch up mechanic, so I will be surprised if that's not implemented by the 11th.

I was an idiot and disassembled my collector's gear when I got much higher prestige items. I made a customer service request and they gave me back the items in 6 days. I really did not expect good customer service out of this game. Glad to be proven wrong.

Now, how do I unlock more talent slots. Are those on the skill trees or what?

Edit: Oh, and the Abilities menu still has the red ! next to it. I guess theres something it wants me to look at. WHat is it, I can't figure it out.

yeah, i had that too. It's probably "you have an open trait slot" but early on you don't have any traits unlocked to fill it.

Also, The game told me a particular mission was impossible. It said it needed ~1100 prestige, well I showed that game a thing or too, with my barely 800 prestige icebox cryobabe, I rolled through that thing solo. Huzzah! I had a big leap of rings, from like 16-18 prestige rings to 30+ ones, and an off hand 20 to a 35 prestige from doing it.

I had the same thing happen to me, but when I asked I still showed as in the guild, so I'm also assuming the "huge steaming deuce" explanation.

I discovered that those (!) appear when you can do an upgrade right now. Such as increasing max level on those weapon upgrade triangles if you have enough of those green crystal currencies. I've finally been able to rid of it when I found this out.

It's happened to me before. Sometimes it's just pantheon chat, other times the whole pantheon will refuse to exist. Russia game is not built on reliable code.

Clairetic posted:

Cryptic's system is just a single external chat server which all their games connect to, and which you can connect to separately from outside the game using Pidgin or whatever - if the aelinet ever works, it'll actually be pretty similar, at least in terms of functionality.

Cryptic's chat system is hilariously broken. If you get banned from a chatroom in one game you can just join on another and get unbanned.

Do that with sparks of insight then sparks of evolution if your preferred class is mastered and you want that other classes' symbol and the two symbol slots. The really good class symbols are Paladin, Archer, Lightbinder, Berserker, Kinetic and Alchemist.

It's not a bad idea to save your sparks of evolution for a class you're going to unlock soon, either. But don't invest in a class solely for prestige and/or stats, the ascension atlas is a better investment in that regard thanks to symbols and greatness nodes.

You can't see poo poo during Cryomancer's Whiteout, but that's getting changed soon. Archer is not flashy at all. Kinetic, Necromancer and Witch/Warlock are.

Symbols are like talents, but for all classes. Most are unlocked through the ascension atlas, but 13 are unlocked by mastering (getting every skill node) a class. You start with 3 symbol slots, and get two more for every class you master. There's 49 symbols total, some with multiple ranks, and at least two more being added soon.

Edit: Symbols tab in your abilities screen
