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.

Actually the West team can pass on feedback to the East team, and has done so in the past. The surveys are an easy way for them to collect directed feedback. And are likely the same questions in every region, which makes it even easier.

The game has gotten to the point where you're just not going to be playing during the waking hours unless you're premium. The premium line gets clogged which means the freebie line never moves for literally the entire afternoon. If you're one of those people who has a normal daylight sleep schedule, get premium or put this game off for like a month.

I logged in today at 9am right when the servers got back up. Game froze and I tried logging back in at noon. Nope. +200 premiums ahead of me for forever. RIP :(

They kinda feel a bit one dimensional to play, but that is probably not what they are complaining about. More likely it's just people not liking being cced.

I have done pvp matches 8 times as a destroyer. I have won 8 times. I am not good at pvp. It feels unfair. I'm sure that is big part of it.

Seems like every Cooking recipe takes meat from Trapping which makes it not ideal to pair with pottery. The profession they have in common is Farming which produces grains but even the recipes that use grains still require meats too.

Yeah I think I'll just be waiting and playing with the character gen occasionally until the population settles and I can find a nice relaxing medium/low server to quest on. Wanted to post the current draft of my summoner though, since there were some great posts in the thread about how to make characters not look like anime barbie children. Ended up somewhere between "little old kung fu master" and "aging hippie," which sounds about right for an old dude that hangs out with his cat all day. :v: (Just noticed I made his hands too big though, should fix that.)



I assume making an old kung fu master woman is a little more difficult due to higher volume of creepy fanservice outfits for female characters, but I think it's definitely safe to say you can make a non-comedy Lyn character without feeling like you've been put on a watchlist somewhere.

a storm is coming...

Me and my friends have been enjoying as of late looking through the various outfits through the wardrobe option. Seems like Lyn is, surprisingly, the consistently least creepy race. Guess these guys aren't like TERA.

On the other hand, the Stinger outfit looks so absolutely hilarious on Lyn I cracked up for like a minute straight looking at it.

Yes I am. I'd guess it has something to do with the server the launcher connects to being down but I don't know for sure. I did manage to log in for about 10 seconds before getting booted trying to find a party for a dungeon.

Oh now the launcher works again.

I guess I'd forgotten the OP does mention their outfits tending to be "pretty modest." I'm impressed, cause yeah, even with that in mind my expectations would have been pretty low for a game like this. (Especially after briefly trying out TERA. The novelty of playing a pudgy badger-man warrior wore off pretty quick.)

Their clothes are so modest that sometimes I wish non-Lyns had a similar number of 'modest' clothing, or at least be able to choose the Lyn variation on a non-Lyn. I don't want to wear bodysuits or be nearly naked all the time, and some of the Lyn variations are actually pretty good.
Having said that, I'd be running around in that 'Scarlet' outfit that looks like a really short red dress if it wasn't for that compulsory tail thing on the back. Why must it have a tail that you can't remove? If I wanted a tail I'd be playing Lyns again! :shrug:

I've gotten a bunch of Soul Shields, Sealed Weapons and food that are taking up space, but they only seem to vendor for 1 copper. Are they useful in any way or do I just get rid of it all?

Disassemble everything you cant market sell. It always gives a 1 copper scrap and can give you fusing material so there's no real harm in doing it.

You can buy Pinchy's Essences on the Marketboard for probably not very much. It's what I did, because he's a pain to farm with the stupid bombs.

You won't get anything but scrap from weapons and accessories until higher levels (40+), so you can just vendor them. It won't cost you anything either really, but it saves a little time.

Soul shield you aren't using you can salvage. It'll give you broken pieces (which you can vendor) or fusion powder (which is used to upgrade soul shields). Weapons you can use to upgrade your Hongmoon weapon, or salvage them if you don't need them for Hongmoon exp.

People farm Pinchy because its female outfit just puts your rear end right out there.
