Heading to bed and have work tomorrow, so send a tell to Mash, Lambda Delta, or Hustler One if you need a clan invite on Mushin. That said Shanghai Goon is almost full and the first size upgrade only allows another 10 members. Wouldn't be a bad idea to get an overflow guild going in the mean time until we can grind out some clan ranks/the hype dies down.

Where are you guys putting your points in Destroyer as you're leveling up? I tried Hurricane and wasn't impressed, but after maxing out trees for LMB and RMB I can kill basically anything in under a second if I animation cancel.

So, I made a Summoner, because Cat dress up is fantastic. But the class feels kind of clunky, is that something that will change as I get more levels? I'm still pretty low.

Eradicate is good poo poo, and prioritizing RMB is definitely your best bet. There's also a bunch of utility points you'll want - making your 2 button have longer range so you have two charges, making Grab last for six seconds instead of four, making your Tab-trinket work on more things, that sort of thing. After that, LMB.

e: When you get your berserk button you're going to want to max it out immediately, but that's not until the 30s.

Yes, it gets way better at high levels. First 3 points you get should go into getting Sunflower on RB. Then getting 3 points down the left tree for your LB cast time will help with chi regen, as will the first rank in Doom N Bloom.

Anyway I didn't get to check the thread because i was too busy playing yesterday, can someone let me know what the EU guild name is and if it's on Red or not and I'll update the OP. (edit: nm got it)

Also if any of you dudes gathered on another server and made a guild and want it in the OP let me know.

FYI you can still group and invite friends cross-server to do dungeons or arenas so it's not TOO bad that people are spread out across servers. The primary thing it will affect is open world PvP and leveling together.

After Eradicate, one thing you do want is a few points in Stone Shield. You use the same punching attack that you do with Grip, but one of the lines has a lower health gain and punching poo poo also reduces the shield's cooldown.

I'd have to see what tier it is if I could get in-game on Mushin. 120 members and climbing at 8am Central on a Saturday morning (I'll try to wait that but I have to travel shortly).

e: Tier 4 Stage 2 of Stone Shield. One of the things with Destroyer output seems to be getting skills to power your Eradicate spam, so anything that helps recover Focus better is great.

I don't think I've ever done a group there... thing you have to watch out for is the bodyslam. It's pretty quick and doesn't have a telegraph to show you how large it is.

Oh, one dumb tip when you get to Jadestone - DO EVERY GATHERING SKILL QUEST. Each one is 1000, just L -> Leave Guild (upper right) after the quests, doesn't take but a few minutes to run around town and discover the types.

Patch notes from this morning:

quote:

Below are the changes for Closed Beta 5:


Game Updates
The in-game Marketplace (F5) and Character Info (F2) UI have been completely revamped to better fit the in-game UI
​In addition, you can now cancel your sell orders from the marketplace. Please note that the listing fee will not be returned.
If an issue is encountered with these new changes, please submit a report in the Bug Report forum
System messages in French and German have been added

Events
New Holiday themed costumes have been added to the Treasure Trove event
​The number of times the chest can be opened per day has been increased to 2

Hongmoon Store
New costumes, accessories, and cat items have been added

Still no AFK timout. :ohdear:

Even if you don't plan on playing till later, just make/login your character on Mushin, then play later. Queue is at 600 as of this post.

Protip: You can make characters on other servers, but Mushin is destined to normalize in about a week and I still believe that is the server you're going to want to be on. Levelling is a breeze if you want to play somewhere else for now though, up to you.

Speaking of which, there seem to be gold spammers on Mushin (just like Wildstar).

They ain't getting kicked either.

I made all but one of my characters on Mushin, I just don't see getting to play there except on the weekends. Work is going to gently caress my chances of getting past queues. Family stuff, like today, too.

e: I don't know when, but they changed Daily Dash from the beta version. You used to just skip things on the path if you didn't land on them, but it now looks like - while there are fewer items - passing them grants the reward.

They obviously do not have a semblance of technology in place to do server xfers cause they could make a boat load selling them right now, so its not really likely anytime soon.

If this is really an ingame shot, they have almost perfectly ripped off the UI of TERA, and from the looks of it the gameplay as well.

Maybe they bought a TERA license and reskinned it because people are dumb.

Uhhh I've played plenty of TERA and that looks nothing like the UI at all. Nor does it play like it.

Also Mushin guild is full, so someone's going to have to make an overflow.

The two are similar, but they're a lot more different from each other than your typical WoW clones are from each other.

Considering the similarities between this game and their previous MMOs, implementing server transfers is probably not all that difficult for NCSoft.

What is the class distribution looking like so far, from what those who have managed to get logged in and active can see?

I'd guess Blademaster / Assassin at the top with KFM at the bottom but unsure - thoughts?

The animation-cancelable one is single target, making it AoE is pretty valuable and Eradicate is head and shoulders above the AoE cleave option.

Also, hope everyone is enjoying your massive queues even before free players get in on a game where PvE and PvP can all be done cross-server just to get onto the same server everyone else is!

How so? Just in dungeons/arenas like Warcraft's Dungeon Finder, or will players in a group be brought into the same instances?

Players in the same group go into the same instance, and there is also the cross-server group finder for dungeons and arenas. The dungeon finder even puts you in a neat little lobby, complete with guy who accepts turn-ins for all of your dungeon dailies and a shop so you can repair and restock easily, with a few other groups. So you can sit around and chill with people from any server while you wait for your groupmates to get ready for repeated runs.

And before you get put it in a group, the dungeon finder has a big chat channel, meant for group invite-links that you can simply click on to join their group if there's room.

BnS really wants it to be easy for you to play with people, no matter what your server population is like.
