Ok, so as I'm installing this game to see if I like it, you're saying the best thing for me to do is build up a few thousand prestige before seeing about joining with goons? Can I screw around in other guilds just for the social aspect until I have the required prestige for goontown?

There are basically no restrictions to joining or leaving guilds so just do whatever. Do keep in mind that guild chat works maybe half the time so that 'social aspect' can be a bit frustrating, but that should be fixed in a few days. And people are always welcome in mumble if they want to chat or ask questions.

Well I talked to a guy who refused to finish and redo an area because he was holding on to 16 or so rings he couldn't use yet and refused to pick out the best ones and melt the rest. Alternatively there's a lot of class poo poo you may want to hold on to for different situations but most of the time there's not really a point to that.

Not that many classes actually benefit from having gear for multiple builds, especially if you take PvP out of the equation.

Fortunately bag slots are pretty cheap. Unlocking the entire first page is what, the equivalent of $7 in argents/credits? That's really all you need. Compare it to most F2P games where you'd pay like $5 for a row or something. And in those games filling up your inventory with useless poo poo or more commonly useful poo poo that doesn't stack is a pretty common practice.

I might cave, im at 7, nearly 8k but can never find a party for a 5 man.

And the new area opened up for me and im getting 1 hit by retarded rats on my cyro (and i dont want to lvl my paly as i dont want to tank the 5man ive never done).

Ive got necro unlocked, and no sparks to get me to class sparks......
I'm nearly at Kinetic as i hit the pink node heading to Alch and had to turn around....

So pretty much ive gimped myself until i find a class i like to play :/ Its embaressing

The patch should fix the party issue. You'll even be able to join goon groups rather than getting carried when requested.

The various regions are often meant for varying prestige levels. You aren't supposed to finish them without breaks. Eskenian Peninsula for instance unlocks at like 13k prestige but goes all the way up to 23k or so. You may be fighting poo poo that is meant for a higher prestige than you are.

Your other issues seem to be a result of incredibly poor planning on your part, nothing I can do to help there.

I don't know how these forums work. v:shobon:v

And yeah you do fuckoff damage with the bugged/undocumented Funeral Lament, but a.) you have to snipe executes from pubbies who are trying to snipe executes to refill their who gives a gently caress bar instead of letting you get them and allowing you to do world ending dps, b.) if you're fighting some monolithic thing that doesn't regularly summon adds your damage is stuck in first gear, and c.) I get the impression the corpse drop inheritance is gonna get nerfed or toned down.

I'm interested in seeing what kind of damage carrions do after the 11th though, considering they are apparently bugged to be doing literally none right now.

Don't get me wrong, NECROMANCER IS A VERY GOOD CLASS and might be the easiest of easymode for soloers (I haven't played zerker yet though). But short of Funeral Lament windows you can tell you're trading DPS for never dying.

You don't need the corpse drop or more than one execute to do very good damage on prolonged boss fights.

You see, this is actually a bug that does get fixed, but until then once you use the Funeral Talent buff on Plague, as long as Plague is refreshed before it ends, it will continue to benefit from the buff.

Edit: This video shows it in action:

His last Plague, against a boss that summons no adds, does 51k damage.

It could still be an overheating issue. One time when I moved my desktop the heatsink came unseated a bit--enough that it would overheat pretty quickly, but it would happily turn back on immediately afterwards. Check that your heatsink is properly heated and that it has a good amount of thermal paste ensuring connectivity. Might be worth installing HWMonitor or something else so you can check the temps easily.

It's been proven on the russian forums that playing a cryomancer reduces cpu heat.

The final region is currently the zone with the highest prestige requirement in the game,so I don't think this plan will work.

Which are the best chapels to build first?
Strength/Luck being the go-to stats should lead to Accuracy and Crit Chance, right?
I've read somewhere that Crushing Blow's good, but double base damage would still be less than a crit - maybe if you have some skill that forces criticals regardless?



Also, what's the status of the guild slots?
Turns out the game was fun enough for me to get to 11.5k prestige and the upcoming patch looks good, so I'll probably stick with it for a while.
It's Erika Desade ingame. (Because stupid russian game overruled me on deSade. I guess they're still fighting against aristocracy and imperialism. :shrug: ).

Depending on how hard you want to sperg and how much money you're willing to drop you can probably do it in 6 to 8 weeks. If your answer is not all that much and maybe a few bucks here and there at best you're playing the game right.

Crushing Blow is good. Yes, 1% Crushing Blow is most likely worth less than 1% Crit, but the thing that makes Crushing Blow good is that you get more of it. For example a level 1 chapel gives 3.8% Crushing, but only 1.4% Crit.
