My observations - only thing that matter are the displayed % chance (sparking interest?) and the number immediately below it (favor?). So those 100% success chance with 0 favor are mostly useless. Additionally, it seems there's some kind of success bonus, where having multiple successes increases success chance. So order things high to low.

I don't generally bother with the topics with delayed modifiers, since the success bonus seems much more impactful. Though if two topics are otherwise equivalent, obviously put the one with a delayed modifier where it would matter.
They do work offline. Farming apparently doesn't though.

They can only finish their current trip while offline, they won't go back out.

Interested in playing but didn't realise it was B2P. Can we get some goon testimonials up in here for someone who'll probably only play for like 2-3 months and doesn't care about PVP so much?

If you're a fan of exploring, decently indepth crafting systems, fishing, farming, horse-raising, trading, etc, you will probably get your 2/3 months worth out of this game

The world is pretty big and has a lot of dialogue/people to talk to so if thats your thing its up there too, the story isn't stellar but it's p good

Everyone who pre-ordered gets at least one 7 day guest pass, so there should be plenty of chances to test it out as soon as it launches for real.

It took me 15 minutes to getting a wizard alt to 10 through the tutorial last night, 25ish for a tamer. Take that for what you will since I just went on murderhobospree with them.

Yup, tomorrow at 8AM UTC (so, 3AM Eastern, midnight Pacific) is when guest passes should be available.

About 25ish here, too, just doing the first string of questing. Tamer feels a little weak, but I assume it's just because you have to wait to 20 to get your pet murderspirit.

The impression I got from watching a stream last night is that the tamer is more like a summoner, is that right?

How is Valkyrie, generally? The videos make their gameplay look awesome, but I'm not really a fan of how they look or the voice acting. Are they a good partner for Sorceress, and if not, are there any classes that are particularly good/bad for that?

Valkyrie and Warrior seem to play fairly similarly though there are differences. Dunno if you like the look/sound of Warrior more. Warrior's also awaken to a giant fuckoff sword vs lance and shield for Valkyrie.

Is there actually a difference between how the various classes sound, outside of gender? I thought there was just a male voice and a female voice, and a pitch slider for each of them.

About gear and cosmetics. So far from watching streams and youtube it seems to me that, unless you are willing to spend a billion dollars in the terribly overpriced cash shop, you are doomed to look like a bland noob for eternity. Is that true?

I'm playing a Valkyrie and having a lot of fun, but that kind of thing comes down to personal preference. Also as far as I can tell there is no voice acting difference between the female classes?

Anyway, I would definitely recommend trying out several classes to anyone who's not sure about what they want to do. I started off with a ranger because they look cool and sound fun at max but people weren't kidding about them being a pain in the rear end to level (especially solo). On a whim I tried out Valkyrie and she has a lot more aoe and oomph when starting out which makes her pretty fun. I think I'll level the ranger later on if I'm still playing. On the bright side a lot of stuff is shared between characters so it's surprisingly faster to level a second character up to ~15-20 and see how those lower levels play.

I actually like the conservative designs on most of the armor sets. At least as a wizard, I feel like my outfits look pretty decent and realistic. I'd much rather have it that way then have skulls for shoulder pads and horns coming out of my nipples.

It goes to a separate "Pearl" tab in the inventory. Everything but the dye and horse should have ended up there.

They'll reset it either way, should you have managed to break the system even more.

Yea, special-not-special costume and shortcut to tier 5 of 10 horse tiers.

this is exactly what i was thinking and i haven't even been here for several years. playing lovely mmos is a lifestyle and i'm ready to come back to it. at least this time i'm jumping in with a guest pass and not some absurdly overpriced preorder package though.

Actually, Daum beat everyone to the punch and went ahead and split the guild ahead of time. They dropped a bunch of people onto the wrong server at launch and they stayed there.

That and the VOIP wars of 2016 have caused probably the fastest guild splinters ever.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
There is a chance we may need a second guild if there are a bunch of people coming in tomorrow. The guild is at like 85 ish people and we think the max is 100. Pretty certain on that.

After a week or two though we won't need a second guild at all.

So the sorceror guide i read said Agerian is the armor I want to use and imrove to +15. I have Agerian green pieces at level 25 and I am getting blackstones, should I be upgrading those pieces with black stones or does the armor need improved by other means first?
