Dual stat belts are garbage in my experience. They should only ever be used until you can get a single stat belt. Even with that you will get more than a few drops that aren't meant for you. I estimate the dual skill belts dropped something I for the skills listed maybe 20% of the time but the single skill belts dropped 80%

I dunno, it seems that the majority of my drops are either Unarmed and/or Mentalism with the belt I have.

Yeah, if I'm not trying to get the perfect piece of archery boots or some crap like that, I usually found it worthwhile to use a dual belt with my target secondary on it. As it stands, in most cases you're going to be better off with the rare mixed gear that fits your two skills anyway.. many mods are limited to specific pieces of equipment, and you might find that the transformative mods like adding a stun or aoe to a skill show up on the same piece of equipment, and you're best piece might be a pair of boots with 2 such mods from two different skill sets. But it's been a while, and minmaxing is for a game that's done at 50, 50 is mid-level once they roll out the rest of this baby.

This game is everything I have been looking for in an MMO for sometime. Put 100$ in the pot for Kickstarter, hope they get to the 60k mark for vampires! What a refreshing experience, it feels a lot like a spiritual successor to EQ

Don't forget, the devs have a unique sense of humor. This is a quote from an earlier thread about undead: Citan posted:There's a bone-form planned for late-level Necromancers, which is technically an undead form, but nothing too exciting in terms of crazy rules. No official word on whether or not you could take off your armor so you would be naked while you ran around murdering other players.

I haven't paid attention to this game since the thread was originally posted. They're adding PVP? What kind? I was hoping there could be one sandbox MMO that didn't get taken over by rear end in a top hat griefers for loving once in my life.

At the moment there's a single PvP area and a seasonal recipe (Spooky Punch) you can use to opt into PvP for a few minutes. In the future they plan on adding duels. No global PvP is planned, though if there's enough interest they might make a separate PvP server.

I really hope PVP is a focus one day considering PVP is a huge driving force in a sandbox-type game. To be fair, I never played Asheron's Call so I've never experienced a PVE sandbox. I was about to say that I played Pre-CU Galaxies, but even that had a relatively large focus on PVP content.

Well they hit their 60k stretch mark! I wonder if they will implement another or just leave it at that. Regardless I'm excited to play as a vampire.

There's now an "unofficial" 65k stretch goal so that everyone can have a party pack when the campaign ends, and to make sure that when pledges fail at the last minute we don't drop below 60k. Unfortunately, I can't really justify giving more. The next tier up for me is double my current pledge.

Even just having lycanthropy can be a real inconvenience if you wanted to play sword/psych during a full moon game session, and Citan's been talking about requiring animal-form curses like spider to have to become incurable if they want to progress the skill past 50 and get various unique abilities (like spiders scurrying across water). And we have no idea how vampirism will work. I wouldn't be surprised if they stop allowing werewolves to have other animal curses (and no vampirism either/no vampires doing the lycanthrope questline).

So, the admins have been spawning in tons of super bosses for people to fight over as celebration. It's been chaotic as all hell. As to character slots, every race will have race specific things, some things are permanent choices (Lycanthropy, Druid, Vampirism) that impact everything you can do, and supposedly the animal curses will become 100% permanent if you level them past 50.

I'm sad I missed all the super bosses, because apparently they were dropping pretty good loot and my gear is still pretty meh. I did at least manage to have the admin give me super speed, which lead to a nice 30 minutes of flying around Serbule knocking out surveys.

I'm just starting my guy sword/shields with psych because it has a full bar without requiring me to unequip my shield. Where do I grind low level foraging?

And I think there's been vague statements that some number of "economy-related" skills may be included in the economy wipe if necessary, but we don't know what.

Nevvy Z posted:As far as I can tell curses are the real character choice. Races don't seem to do nearly as much and there are no classes per se. But I've just started. Somewhere in the blurry mass of dev posts and comments I've seen were statements to the effect of "races will have more mechanics they can unlock, someday." So that'll change. Also for your low level foraging, apples spawn around Serbule along with whatever the lowest level flowers are. You'll be able to pick the grapes after a bit. Then I think you'll have to move on to harvesting in Eltibule. Then Sun Vale, though the guava stage is awkward now, it seems like their spawns were nerfed to hell from when I leveled my other character.

He's also not sure what to do about NPC favor, so there might be a full/partial wipe of that as well at some point. That's the part I really dread, based on how much time/money I've spent trying to get the vendors in Serbule to be useful to me.

glug posted:Be nice if it launches with an ability to one-time change your characters race and remove some perma-skills. Citan did say we'd get a free appearance change in alpha once there are more options, so IMO it's not unreasonable that we will get more "get old characters up to date for new features" options. ex: if vampire turns out to be mutually exclusive with lycanthropy. Folks who picked druid are probably out of luck getting that removed, since the devs did put a giant warning sign on the druid altar, but if we get a new skill that druids *can't* take I can see that happening just so more people can test whatever the new skill is.

That's the part I really dread, based on how much time/money I've spent trying to get the vendors in Serbule to be useful to me. It might not be too bad. We'd be going into a favor wipe with a lot of other skills at high rank, so it'd be trivially easy to replace a whole bunch of stuff that was a struggle for a newbie.
