Drinkfist posted:Current List of people I am Tracking for guild invites is now: IGN is Anime Cancer. I work overnight so I'm usually on from like 8-10 AM after work and about 6-10 PM Eastern when I wake up. PS. That Archipelago dungeon is the worst and I've never done the first third of the dungeon because every group I get for it is stuck on the second boss+can't finish the last even after I come save the day. Only way I was able to finish it was by having someone switch to a tank to absorb the shots during the hologram phase. Is the game's matchmaking unfinished or what? Seems like every group I get is 2 or 3 Cryomancers. I've now stopped playing Cryomancer based on this fact. Dazh fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Aug 16, 2015 |

There are so many cryomancers because they are the starting DPS class. For getting invited I joined mumble and got in as soon as drinkfist put his pizza down.

oh rly posted:I'm at 8k prestige and have had a Pally main so far. She survives forever in PvP if i'm rotating shield. If I get a few crits, then a DPS is usually toast. I hate fighting other tanks or lightbinders since they too last forever. I'm not saying that they're bad but anyone not retarded can destroy in pvp as a gunner because you can just knock everyone down which means no shields and then kill them. Not to mention 40m range means all the kill stealing. The only way I ever get less than first place as a gunner is when everyone else gangs up on me in the last 2 minutes when they realize what's been going on all match.

Why am I suddenly getting almost no class sparks? I'm not at the cap, but I'm clearing entire dungeons and not getting a single class spark. I got a ton when I was playing my knight, but I'm barely getting any on my archer. Are later dungeons biased towards other drops?

You don't get any class sparks until you unlock the "Path of the Class" node.

Mastered Paladin and unlocked Berserker today. I guess the next class I'll go for is Archer since their symbol is nice and they seem not awful in PvP? Alternately I could start dumping insight into the God Form track, though I'm only at 17k right now. Decisions decisions. I just wish sparks of evolution weren't such a grindy nightmare to farm up. Would it kill them to have 2x and 3x class spark missions?

I just unlocked the ascension grid as a paladin. Holy poo poo there's so much poo poo to get that I wanna get but first I wanna get berserker. Guess I'll bee line that direction but goddamn I feel like I'll be missing out. As it is though my dps is awful. Gonna be a long one til I get berserker. on another note my new pc (it was pretty cheap but it gets the job done and plenty of room for upgrades) has a harsh time running this game while keeping it pretty. hosed around with the settings til I struck a balance between getting a decent looking game, and not having it chug too hard. Probably gonna have to compromise more if I really want to tank though, or do group content in general. I guess I'll start saving up for a new card ha. At least I can play with out crashing every 5-15 minutes unlike before (actually hasn't crashed at all which is pretty loving rad)

Alternately I could start dumping insight into the God Form track, though I'm only at 17k right now. Spark replicators work on class sparks. If you haven't done a region, you can do it after you're capped on sparks of insight and then very quickly cap on class sparks. Most regions can be done extremely quickly if your prestige is too high for them, but the rewards are not reduced at all.

Yeah I'm blasting through Naori Island at like 4300 prestige. I'm probably going to spend time getting prestige higher for the next region too. How the gently caress do you cap Sparks of Insight? I haven't even come close to capping them any of the 4 weeks I've been playing. Is the increase THAT big as your prestige gets higher?

What the gently caress are we meant to do with the gazillions of Trophy fragments. I kind of hoped they would stop dropping once I had got 2 of a type, but nope they keep dropping. You can't really even trash the darn things as it only converts 1 of them at a time! They need to at least give us the ability to trash a whole stack as its bloody annoying seeing almost half your inventory just full of junk.

I've been capping sparks of insight in 4 to 6 hours played every week. Same with class sparks, but I avoid missions like Thetin Rift (anything with 0-2 bosses) and don't prioritize ones that reward sparks of insight. I don't do anything special other than running everything with Berserker (and now Warlock) which allows me to complete virtually every mission at 30-45% the rated time. This is of course possible with the use of optimized stats, symbols, and so on. Things you normally won't have early on. ukle posted:What the gently caress are we meant to do with the gazillions of Trophy fragments.

They need to at least give us the ability to trash a whole stack as its bloody annoying seeing almost half your inventory just full of junk. There's a bonus for each of the four non-boss enemy types within that army, and additional random secondary bonuses. It's safe to say trophy fragments will never stop dropping. I just disassemble anything that isn't green and now I'm starting to disassemble greens for the blues. It's still a ton of slots but PvP bags use up way more of my inventory than trophies do. Fortunately I invested in some bag slots on week 2 and haven't had inventory issues since. Liberatore fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Aug 16, 2015 |

So are there classes I should consider unlocking because they'll help me progress faster? I love Archer and want to get Slayer cause 1 ranged and 1 melee will keep me invested but other than that I'm not tied to any class, just what farms best I guess so I have to play as little as possible (I don't have a lot of free time).

Archer is pretty good for that. Slayer, not so much. Kinetic, Berserker, Warlock/Witch, Gunner, Cryomancer (after upcoming buffs) and Necromancer are all great choices. You also have to consider symbols, though. For instance, at the moment I have the Berserker symbol, which adds a lot of damage when I'm soloing. The only classes mentioned above that have symbols as good as this one are Archer and Kinetic. You will also want the Paladin and Alchemist symbols, and the Slayer one is good in group content (where the Berserker one is practically useless).

I think Slayer is pretty fun and they're still an okay class but the latest patch killing dodge cancels and the upcoming patch nerfing Blood Harvest both significantly hurt their effectiveness in PvE. I think anybody saying "oh Slayer is useless they're not even worth playing they're only good for PvP" or whatever is probably being hyperbolic in the way people always are when it comes to MMO classes that have been nerfed or are less than completely optimal but losing the ability to get two crit Twilight Scourges off every time you stealth definitely stings.

Slayer is my favorite playstyle for any game like this and I'll definitely play it, it's just a matter of being as efficient as possible when it comes to unlocking things that will help me farm sparks. On a good week I'll only get about 20 hours of playing time.

I made a video of a quick completion of the Obstacle Course in Nedder Test Area. As best as I'm aware, this seems to be the best route to take, with relatively high safety (skipping the worst mines segment). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Wj6Q2QjJI And a temporary WebM upload: http://a.uguu.se/otrmup.webm (12MB, ~22 hours until it is deleted from the time of this post) I dismount prior to the first checkpoint because you can't really jump reliably on mounts unless you're at maximum speed, with there being a small time of acceleration. On tiny platforms, you're likely to just stupidly fall down rather than jump. Additionally, I don't think you can interact with the mine detector while mounted, anyway, and I haven't found a way to completely skip that segment. All of the jumps I make while mounted are definitely possible on the slower mounts. At this speed, Obstacle Course is one of the faster Trials, which is important considering that it's currently the only sane choice for farming gear PvE. If there's any interest, I could make a video for the Escort Trial, too, but that's less "cool shortcuts" and more learning the limits of enemy aggro ranges so I don't know how helpful a video might be for that.

I got into some instance with some nagas and eggs and poo poo, and the end boss with water shields just creams the other guys in the party. Then I'm the only one left and welp if I can solo the naga. I can't find any "generate aggro" buttons like sunders in WoW. E: apparently I need the "BLAME" talent but that's like 5 nodes away still. Welp.

You have a few increased threat skills but Blame is crucial. It's really early into the Paladin atlas though; I remember having it when I first did MSM at 3200 prestige.

For earning class symbols and slots, do you have to unlock every single spot on a class's tree, just the centers of each node, or make it to some end point (presumably, the most expensive unlock in the class tree)?
