Got home late and tried to get on. Only 4 people in queue for Mushin. Got in pretty much instantly. Not sure if they did something or just good timing.

gonna try this out when f2p access launches. Sounds like the goon servers are being hammered, is it the same on EU?

kungfu master sounds fun, hows the character creation? We talking Aion/Black Desert or FFARR/WoW?

The queues are much more reasonable on Windrest(EU), next to no wait earlier in the day and about 1.5h at 20:00 GMT yesterday.

Edit: that's without premium

Correct, the way the loot system works, people bid al la auction style on items they want. When someone wins, it splits the money they bid on the item between the rest of the group. Makes it fun to do dungeons especially when I don't want anything, just to take other people's money and drive prices up. I usually can make 10-15s per dungeon doing this in the earliest dungeons, and I'm sure it gets better from there.

It's quite satisfying when a weapon someone needs for the breakthrough on their Hongmoon weapon drops, and you make them pay ten times what they would have had to pay otherwise. They get VERY mad, especially because they KNOW you don't need it, you're just loving them.

If I want to do any sort of real leveling with the Radiant Ring, I'll probably have to pull up a lot of money through this way. I've totally underestimated how much those Simple Refiners cost, despite having being a pot maker in the betas (though more focused on making a lot of meat buns).

I've got my horrible mutant of a KFM on Old Man Cho. Got him to 10 last night. I was also considering making a Force Master for a hot minute, but I think I'll stick with KFM for now and roll Warlock when it finally comes out.

KFM just doesn't "Click" for me. I think my timing is all off on it. Which is funny because BM requires pretty good timing too yet it clicked fine.

I can't string together sick combos on BM (yet) that I can on my assassin though. Assassin really gets some really sick synergies early on, but they weren't kidding in that you have to really set things up positioningwise or you'll get your rear end kicked. Especially with packs.

I'm a FM on Old Man Cho. Tried to log into Mushin this morning at 9AM PST and the queue is already up to 40 minutes. Can't imagine later tonight.

I said come in!

I'm not 20 on Assassin yet but yeah this one might be too complicated for me based on the PvE I've done so far :downs:

KFM is a weird bird. You need to have a really good ping because most of your moves rely on countering people, but you also have to play reactively, not proactively. It's an interesting class that's tough for me to fight as Destroyer since many of my big damage abilities the KFM can easily counter. If he messes up though I can knock off a huge chunk of his HP. I really didn't like the way that KFM played either for this reason, I prefer the all out assault and offensive chaos that is the Destroyer.

Assassin is really simple:

Your goal: Be in stealth and do the RBF (4) combo, just alternating between right click and F

How you achieve this:

Use 1 to charge the enemies back, you can do this either by moving around, using tab or backing away while stealthed (they won't turn for about a second)
Poison them then use 1 in stealth
Trait 3 in stealth to return you to stealth
Dodge an attack with 2 or Q
Use tab while unstealthed on a poisoned enemy

If I can't get behind things I'll pull with the throwing star, use the tree doohicky, backstab, drop a mine and blow it up, tab to stomp on their heads and by then my tree thing should be back up. Bear in mind I'm only like level 12 so most of the neat poo poo isn't unlocked yet.

Basically if I do it right I never take any damage. But if I gently caress up I gently caress up big.

Should we organize something on Old Man Cho? I just started so no idea how to start up a guild, but if there isn't one by the time I figure it out I can start one up.

Especially since I'm guessing those goons without premium accounts will have pretty much 0 chance getting on Mushin due to priority queues.

I guess the lack of AFK timers is a deliberate thing generally, because it seems like kMMOs in general don't have them, and some kMMOs even deliberately encourage people to idle in town all day. I don't know what's up with that, I'm sure there's some reason for it though.

I know, I was just talking in general, and as to probably why the game didn't even come with one built in.

It's a holiday in the US, but yeah, this is a pretty lovely deal.

I mean, I know it'll die down eventually, but that will also probably mark the ebb of people's interest in this game, which is a bummer. It's fun to play but dealing with all of this bullshit is wearing away at my desire to go through the hassle of logging in.

The funny thing is that, again, much of this could have been avoided by just choosing TWO servers for head start -- one Mushin, one low queue (like Old Man Cho). Ah well, "next" time...

You realise adding an AFK timer does literally nothing right? You just run in circles by jamming a key down or have a basic repeating macro of a few random button combos so the game thinks you're still active.

Hell in Blade & Soul you could do all that in a private instance too, so nobody can even write about the evil bad AFKer running in circles in the inn or something.

Need I say... just like Archeage? :v:

Point I'm trying to get across is that if you rolled on Mushin you're hosed for the next few months.

I just got to 20, does the game guide you into proper dungeons or should I just go to the group finder and try things?

Speaking of trying things, only purple ones are proper dungeons, right, or how does that all work?

Zet

The main story quest leads you past the dungeon. There's a daily by the dungeon that goes into the dungeon itself.

Regarding servers, they should've done a "mega-server" and have been done with it. I mean, there are already channels/instances you can swap around on, the marketplace is by region (IIRC), and open PVP is by "uniform." There is no real need for "servers."
