Last night I went to bed instead of waiting in the pleb-queue with +400 premium moneyhavers. The premium line was still growing last I saw. Waited about 5 hours before realizing I just wasn't logging on tonight. Now the servers are dead and the devs don't know what do? Game's kinda popular I guess. Also HOLY poo poo theres a ton of people that bought premium for this game it's kind of nuts..

Just found out about this game. Looks pretty neat, but is this going to last longer than a few weeks before the servers are ghost towns? D: edit: how is the pvp in this game? Etrips fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Jan 23, 2016 |

It's not really an option to play without premium right now. I entered the non-premium queue yesterday at 3:30 with less than 500 before me. At 8:30 I was still waiting. Bought the student pack, entered a 200 premium queue and was in in under 3 minutes.

The premium queue is weird in that whenever its over 200 I always seem to get in once my position in queue gets near 100.

Etrips posted:edit: how is the pvp in this game? Good. 1v1 and 3v3 are gear-equalized so all you need is max level to participate on an even playing field. Class balance is a little wonky because of the patch/level cap situation we're in, but a lot of that comes down to different class matchups and player skill as well, and that sort of stuff will even out as we get to 50 cap. Open-world pvp is also pretty fun but gear matters there so you'll have to work harder to keep up.

Not all channels are unlocked even when the server is at capacity, so I'm guessing they use the closed channels to grab premium players in batches, unlocking them on demand. Edit: Then again those channels might only be there to meet demand for that particular map, so who knows. Liberatore fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jan 23, 2016 |

Thanks catfriend!)

The tooltip is actually pretty easy to miss. I've not had any tutorial pop-ups or anything about PVP so far, weirdly.

Awesome, sounds like something I want to try out while I'm snowed in. I know that it is still early, but are there any classes that are more under/over powered?

I guess login servers are down right now. There appears to be no ETA. https://twitter.com/bladeandsoul https://twitter.com/BladeAndSoulOps https://forums.bladeandsoul.com/topic/154651-na-emergency-maintenance-1232016/ Some classes start off really slow - Destroyer is one that starts slow. They are very tanky and their RMB hurts, but it murders your Focus bar. Once you get up and able to put points in your skills, you can get things that recharges your Focus bar faster. You can also get Eradicate and Execute, which are great. Evil_Greven fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Jan 23, 2016 |

The twenty-some-odd levels until you get the chokehold to upper-cut launch to arial suplex combo are just to prevent everyone from always only playing Destroyer...

I'd say play what you enjoy the playstyle of the most. Things will be changing quickly as we get on newer balance patches and get the cap raised to 50. You'll benefit a lot more from practicing with a class you enjoy from the start rather than trying to play something later and losing anyway because you're poo poo at the class.

Still having issues getting the updater to actually behave. Stuck on 8.1 mb / 16.1 mb Someone mentioned finding a torrent in the files to download it manually but I don't see it anywhere.

Amante posted:As far as I know (which isn't much), you can some... are all soloable though? There's only actually three purple dungeons in the game right now. The two ones you hit while leveling, Blackram Narrows and Tomb of the Exiles, are both soloable as a Destroyer without the gear from that instance (and substantially easier once you do have the gear from them) and presumably other classes besides. The one at cap has a gear requirement high enough that it might be soloable, but not without better gear than I have.

So is there any hope of actually getting into the server without paying priority queue?

Jamizzy99 posted:So is there any hope of actually getting into the server without paying priority queue? My friends who are not premium tried logging in when I got home at 7pm pst yesterday, and they finally got on around 11pm. That's on Jiwan. So it's not impossible, but 4+hour queues at prime times are not unexpected.

You could pick one of the "new" servers. Arenas and Dungeons, the real meat of the game, are entirely cross-server. If you take the time to add someone to your friends list, you can even chat with them in-game, regardless of which server you're on.

Or yeah, you can roll on one of the new servers and hope they merge them or at least offer paid transfers when they inevitably become ghost towns.

It's me, I'm the guy farming Pinchy for his outfit instead of already being max lvl.

I farmed the lair of the yutaty for that outfit. Max level doesn't matter in MMOs. It's all about max fashion.

I can understand not having all the content as the east does from the start but it is a shame we don't get the extra classes, soul fighter looks like a lot of fun.

KittyEmpress posted:Me and a friend are playing this together... is going Force Master and Summoner going to be gimpy for us? Can my cat be our 'tank'? You don't need a tank and no. Edit: To elaborate, FM + melee that can't draw aggro is annoying as gently caress. But since you're both ranged, it won't matter. As for the Cat, it won't keep aggro against a FM, despite being capable of tanking. Liberatore fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jan 23, 2016 |

I'm looking at playing a lot with a friend who's already rolled a Blade Master. If I play Blade dancer how much will I be stepping on his toes? Or do they differ enough it doesn't feel like we're just playing the same class.

I wouldn't worry about it.

cathead posted:First of all, PvPing at low levels is going to be kind of painful as you're generally lacking the skills and skill points that give your class all the tools it needs. You might want to give yourself some more time in PvE to get more skills/points and get used to the class before you start thinking about going hard on PvP. Thanks for this awesome post. I talked with someone in a clan I'm in, and she suggested that I'd wait until I reach like level 40+ to do Blade Dancer pvp as all the core abilities and combos to dish out proper damage isn't available until then.

What is it that people don't like about Destroyers? They seem to catch a lot of flak in the cesspools that are faction and region chat.

I don't really understand the point of these goofy survey questions, this game is just translated from Korea it's not like any answers we give will cause them to make any actual changes. I keep answering them though because they are tied to loot. I guess that's one way to get people to fill out that kind of thing.
