Well, I'm not in the Guild, but I'm on as "darkscan" (or darknull? something like that). I got too far on FM and I'm having fun just running around doing stuff and leveling. If they offer server transfers I'll probably hop over too, but add me and we can go be dumb on OMC.

So it looks like there's some sort of autoflag/detect system for F2F trades and the mail system, since I had a friend just get permabanned for "Real Money Trading" because one of his guildies traded him 100 gold. So be careful. He's appealing and its likely he'll get it overturned but the fact it even happened...

That's weird, I've been playing female characters for years in numerous MMOs and I can't think of any time I was ever hit on. I just assumed it was so common for dudes to play female characters nowadays that no one even bothered anymore.

Are you on Jiwan? Maybe it's more common on RP servers or something.

Yeah I've played almost exclusively as a female character since the RO days and although things sometimes were bad back then, it hasn't been an issue in years. I'm honestly surprised that it was this game too, since I'd think the only one with a more skewed gender ratio would be TERA.

My Lyn summoner got called cute quite a few times while I was leveling/dungeoning. Nothing creepy and most of them turned out to be girls too so I guess the answer is to make cute characters. Never really had any creeper experience when playing mmos except once on The Secret World. My character was dressed up in a hoodie with jeans and my friends kept saying I look like a dork so I went and changed my look a bit. I walked out and like no more than 20 steps later a random naked guy with a unicorn horse head mask went up to me and said "hey bby gurl want to ride my unicorn horn?" I went what the eff, turned around, went back to my keener look and no one bothered me again.

On another note. I'm not sure if I'll actually play a warlock but I will probably level one anyways since I'm running out of stuff to do in this game, and also to get the costume (hopefully it looks good.) Still having a hard time deciding on summoner or kfm as a main and sitting on a bunch of upgrade mats/gold. Throw in a new level 45 warlock after and its going to be even harder to decide.

Even before changing to the current revealing costume my blademaster is wearing -- even when wearing costumes that completely cover the breasts -- my intentionally as-fat-as-possible female character got two "hit on"/"lewd" comments, along the lines of "mmm baby you're thicker than a bowl of oatmeal", for example. There was also the "hey there chubby ;)" which I'm not sure if it was supposed to be an insult or a come-on.

I got constantly hit on in PSO2 and FFXIV, but I don't think I've gotten any in B&S yet.

Actually, a Gon came up once and did an emote that looked like he was slapping me on the rear end, so I guess that counts.

It's called negging, though it's hard to tell with fetishists.

roll a KFM

I have a fantastic time playing KFM but I treat B&S as Jojo's Bizarre MMORPG so YMMV.

The comboing in this game is just leaps and bounds more satisfying than any other MMORPG out there and quite a few action RPGs actually. Certainly not quite as deep as many fighting games but pretty close. On the fly respecs for free is great as well and leveling is pretty fast. Cross server dungeon feature is great because you're never waiting for people to do content with.

Casual feel good theme park MMO of the year if they keep releasing content and the average player can do it. Game needs more focus on cosmetic stuff though. Dyes and custom outfits would be super neato.

Suppose the biggest gripe I have is content seems a bit easy but I suppose you can lower or raise the difficulty by bringing more/less players. Having more creative/difficult instance bosses with the fast paced movement system of B&S would be neat as heck. GunZ 2 had some really great co-op bosses but again lacked a lot of PvE content.

My beef with the game is its tuned around internet speeds in asia, feels like we're fighting the lag here in the west as much as the mobs sometimes. I ge the feeling I'd like some classes a lot better if it weren't for my lovely connection.

What I've been doing is trying to solo the whole game. It gets grindy at parts (Tomb of Exiles with level 33 weapon and level 20 accessories was a pain as a blademaster because the first boss's passive heal is almost as much as your DPS due to the freeze; upgrading accessories through Siren before you can upgrade to dukomo weapon requires lots of dailies, and not even the most lucrative ones; etc.) but it definitely makes the game more challenging and a bit of a puzzle.

This is because we're still on 2+ year old content that isn't really tuned to account for the current scaling and class balance which is meant for lv50. Things will get more difficult as we get into the lv50 4mans and raids.

Moving from Cinderlands to Moonwater represented a big shift in difficulty for the dungeon bosses. Before I could solo anything that wasn't Devourer or Infernal Lord, but I'm having issues with Wu Fee and the Lycandi guy. Am I just poo poo at this game?

Depends on your class but most of the green dungeons in Moonwater can be difficult solo. Wu Fee isnt too bad if you have solid AOE for the adds and you can drag that fight out pretty long. Lycandi dungeon is only hard if you pull too much at once (again, depends on class).

WORDS IN THE HEART
CANNOT BE TAKEN
I had serious trouble with the first clone as a Destroyer since he isn't grabbable, which murders my damage throughput. I did manage to beat him by avoiding every force grip, just barely, and then realized that I could probably get some of the +damage potions. And the immunity ones will help for the second one, too.

I didn't have much trouble with the first one but I wasn't making much progress on the second one my gear may be lacking I've put everything into my weapon up to true siren but my other gear is lacking quit a bit. All the people in chat saying they beat 2 and 3 had pirate weapons and over 400 atk power which I am no where near and their gems were the holy hell expensive ones. At least it gives me something to work on. I think banging my head on the second one long enough might yeild that perfect storm where I get him but not worth it to get to the 3 Rd one and get throttled :)

Still really early level but drat does their number 4 attack gently caress things up. I've had entire packs of tough mobs that usually take 3-4 attacks to clear be wiped out by a single snare + dragoncoil combo. They are also made out of paper and without proper use of your parry you'll be pretty loving hurt while leveling.

Also everyone is a warlock right now. Every dungeon run I'm doing is at level warlocks all other 5 of them.

Laplacian Demon could also use a Mushin invite, I'm jumping ship from Cho for the warlock.

As of level 11, I am really digging the class. Worse snare power than FM is more than made up for by having a counter available from the start (also: ever) and 4 produces huge aoe numbers with a quick cast. Also looks way cooler than rain of fire.
