Paladin gets a bit better as you get more talents I find. Certainly rolling kinetic solo is brutal. Also the benefit of having a paladin ready to go is you don't have to put up with pubbie tanking. Its like taking the aggro stuff morally offends them somehow.

Solo kinetic is easy, though? I only really have problems with bosses that have high auto-attack damage, like phytos. In which case I can switch out to LB quickly. What does the pally symbol do anyways? Almost maxed my lightbringer so might as well as begin on Pally with the extra shards when I go support.

You can look them all up in your symbol thing but the Paladin one makes you immune to all damage for 4 seconds every 70 seconds.

I'm slowly understanding how things work in this game with all the currencies, caps, and the order that I just unlocked, but I had a question about the weekly cap for insight sparks. I had about 400 or so remaining when I started up the Naori Island for the first time. About halfway through the island I checked it again and saw it was at 0, so I thought I'd just exit and come back after the reset so I don't miss out on the rest of the insight rewards for the region. The next day I was reading up on things you can do before the cap is reset, and one of the suggestions was to build up your order to gain more prestige. Before I re-enter the game and leave that region to get the appropriate materials for doing order missions I was wondering how the insight cap limit is implemented. If your remaining weekly insights are 35 and you start a solo adventure that awards 90 for example, would you only receive 35 sparks or the full 90? Would the same apply for regions, or only the quests inside of regions? There are so many quests inside of Naori Island compared to the earlier ones that it seems like a waste to leave halfway through, especially if I don't need too.

The caps in this game only apply to new rewards. Have a cap of 50 but get rewarded 100, and you get 100. Your cap next week is based on your cap this week + whatever the russian oligarchs decide is a fair weekly cap. So if you get 300 cap a week and week one you break thew cap by 50 as above next weeks cap is 600 and you start at 350 allowing you to gain 250 that week. This means you can cheat the system to unlock something important a bit early but in the long run you are in the same position as everyone else that started the same week as you.

The main issue with the whole cap system is that new incoming players are unable to catch up to the players that started week one. This issue has been slightly fixed in the RU version with a catch up system that allots you Extra sparks that the people ahead of you in spark cap. The other issue is the deal with new players having to ramp up their spark income rate. Where you start the game seeing spark rewards in the double digits and slowly unlocking higher difficulties that reward into the triple digits for sparks. There is also doing group missions and multiplier missions that can net you thousands of sparks in a single run. The key is just keep playing and pushing up your prestige in the early portions of the game and then it becomes much easier to progress once you get momentum. Unlocking classes that you would enjoy playing and changing up the gameplay also helps break the monotony of repeating dungeons. We have lost a large number of players to the start of the game due to poor starting class selection and lack of any good map spread. Once you hit god form at 30k prestige you will have access to: All Squad Maps Nearly All Region Maps (The last one unlocks at 60k) All Group Mission Maps All PvP Maps One Raid (The other unlocks at a much higher prestige) Hostile Territories (A Terrible 5 man hunting region) Invasion Events (Some of these are super hard 3 man and 5 man missions) With Distortions, another region, another raid and high resist invasion maps all currently in the game for players that push past 30k Prestige to look forward to doing. There is still no end of the content the game offers. They also got Guild Wars, Pantheon Changes, Core changes, and Order Events in the RU that will land here sometime in the future. Class changes announcement just dropped today in fact. https://sf.mail.ru/news/1196.html Drinkfist fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Aug 31, 2015 |

It sounds like they are planning to add more burst DPS to most classes and tone down the burst damage of the Kinetic, Archer and Berserker.

Drinkfist posted:Class changes announcement just dropped today in fact. Looks like their first set of changes will be a revamp of how Alchemist and Lightbinder buffs work and a Gunner, which is currently generally regarded as the worst PvE class by RU players, redesign. The buff revamp aims to give those two classes main stats which their buffs will benefit but not directly draw from. Alchemist is Spirit/Luck + Discharge Activation, Lightbinder is Spirit/Valor + Temper. Sucks for planning but it means that everyone isn't automatically forced to go Strength/Luck to benefit from Alchemist/Lightbinder buffs. Seems their goal is to give every class specialized main stats, though. Gunner will be Strength/Valor with (I presume) secondary stats to match.

Also I logged on and noticed you guys haven't voted me (Erich Zann) out of power, so someone please start a vote to do this; I tried it myself to no avail. I have and will have for the foreseeable future at best 6 hours a week to dedicate to gaming, most of which will go towards new releases, so I'm effectively just delaying votes from going through at this point.

That's loving stupid and kills that entire switch classes whenever you want thing. Unless you want to carry and farm a ton of different rings to keep around. Forcing you to try different builds or just accepting not being able to play some classes isn't the way to go. I mean it kind of depends on how much of an impact it will have but less choices are always bad and they should be trying to make every class work with any stat equally well.

Hobbitron posted:I'm slowly understanding how things work in this game with all the currencies, caps, and the order that I just unlocked, but I had a question about the weekly cap for insight sparks. Once you're capped out on sparks of insight all the region rewards will give you spark replicators instead. I'm not sure how it handles the exact reward where you hit the cap, but I suppose the fair thing would be to split it between sparks and replicators. I'm doing a region at the cap right now. It's not a big deal. With all these replicators I'm building up I'll hit the cap really fast after the reset regardless of how many rewards I waste now. The important thing is to keep prestige moving I think. Your order and the higher prestige gear you find on Naori Island will keep you progressing through story for a quite while without sparks of insight, especially if you haven't capped class sparks yet. edit: I guess the area completions give sparks of transformation instead. sakeyake fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Sep 1, 2015 |

They were all designed to be occulus rift compatible so they blind you in 3D. Russia being a bleak and wintery hellhole the developers really wanted decadent westerners to experience the true majesty of snow blindness.

Serious question time. Have they fixed the delay between damage calculations and animations? That is, is damage still calculated at time of cast vs. time of impact. This was by far the thing that drove me crazy in this game.

I think the greater mass of players has reached a high enough prestige to do other 5-mans and collectively decided to say gently caress both of those terrible places. I mean DF isn't actually that bad but it does require your DPS to not be braindead so clearly it must be shunned. I have no good things to say about MSM.

I like how they reset your spark cap and then immediately take down the servers for maintenance every week, wouldn't want to reverse the order of that maybe? I would stay up and play but oh you can't... And thanks for running qqq for my tablet and rings, got em both before the server went offline!

I try to do MSM/DF when they have triple sparks or the tablet/ring/whatever bonus. Other times I try to avoid it like the plague. I feel like I'll be unable to complete them if I'm not the person going Lightbinder into it, I'm just lucky that each time the Paladin could hold threat.
