Are the servers dying for anyone else? I'm stuck talking to someone for like 5 minutes and then I go offline.

This. And it really doesn't help that staying logged in, AFK is both encouraged and highly beneficial.

I'm on mid-tier media laptop (i5-i4210U, 850M) and I'm playing. I had to make the game look like poo poo, but it runs, and should run well everywhere excluding cities and peak mass PvP congestion.

Wow, a 1.7 GHz CPU can still run the game? I should have no problem then.

Can you troll the armies of AFK people like you could in Archeage with a hauler and dragging them into mobs?

No. You can get mobs to kill their horse though, but then their horse must be outside safe area while they AFK, which is unlikely.

Not that I know of, they just get some more passive abilities and poo poo.

Well thanks for the info anyway.

I can see the appeal of a bunch of pets to save you mashing F frantically when you're in farming mode in a high respawn area but... I mean, it's just an F key and if pets only pick poo poo up every 10 seconds then they seem like a waste of money.

Plus you have to feed the fuckers. Eat the fallen you drat parasites :argh:

Once you get your donkey, you can start doing what ever in the game. That is about 12 or 14. It just takes time to get to that.

Don't worry, gear and indeed skill points have nothing at all to do with character level. Good luck! :v:

I'm running around using my sword on things. Sometimes I press up when I left click, sometimes I press shift and sometimes I press both mouse buttons at once. It's completely random what I do. I do not however press F to use the kick move that the game stressed was important because it will help me defeat my foes. I don't do it because it's an awkward key to press in an action combat game.

Am I playing this game right? Is there an order I should do the above in? Does dodging feel as sluggish as I think it does? I'm having a difficult time understanding how they want me to play their game. I get it's a hokey asian grinder and not to be taken seriously but I'd like to understand it a bit better and make the attempt to have fun.

Don't get me wrong, I'm having fun slicing and dicing goblins with my random moves but the whole thing just feels weird to me. I know a lot of you have played a ton of these types of games and I'd like to get your take on how it compares to other things you've played. I'm probably just over thinking the game now that I think about it.

Also am I reading this right? Outfits are almost as much money in the cash shop as the entire game cost?

Play game, have fun, don't over think it. Some skills are weird to time, but you will get used to it. Also controllers are pretty cool if those help you.

And yah, the cash shop prices are dumb and they have no reason to lower the price due to how many people bought 100 dollar packs. Over 50% of the goons thought that a 30 dollar game is worth 100 dollars so daum has very little reason to think you guys won't buy a few costumes for 30 bucks each.

Random thought: I was thinking of for personal use making a node tool to work out the best way of getting a specific set of nodes (say you want to connect 3 cities and get this farm) would that be interesting to anyone? Maybe even one for city buildings too.

How kind is this game to people with potato-tier computers? That is to say, how much performance will I lose if I have a rig slightly beneath minimum system specs? It's only slightly - like 0.2 GHz, and a slightly weaker GPU, although everything else is way above minimum for what it's worth - but is IS beneath specs.

Will the game still be remotely playable or will everything go to hell?

I'm moderately curious about this game and I have a traded-for account for it I more or less acquired by accident (thanks, grey markets), but my old tower was retired for having its GPU die, so all I have is this relatively-robust-for-a-non-gaming-laptop for now.

you should, you should also note nodes with decent lodging, storage and other rooms that are worth getting. Been trying to consolidate nodes to maximize contribution points, saved 7 points, got T4 storage and T2 lodging by doing so.

Toscani Farm near velia is a great node to get beer materials.

Is it worth making beer? I was thinking about it tonight, but doing afk fishing while I do some chores around the house are usually enough to buy more beer than i need from the market and actually crafting beer needs input from me iirc, or is there a workshop for brewing somewhere?

This is such a dumb question but I'm gonna ask anyway; is the order of the characters on your character selection fixed in the order you made them? Or can you move them around yourself (like WoW)/they move around depending on which one you logged in as (like SWtOR)?

Order you made them in. And they take 24 hours real life time to delete.

If nothing else I could math my route from Velia to Heidel(to Glish to Keplan) to Calpheon. From those places I can tendril out to any leveling areas I want.

Glish is also a surprisingly good crafting town, refinery 3 and tools 3/4.

I don't suppose anyone has any documentation of what benefits maxing out a city's energy investment gets you? Just curious because Valia has a max level of 12 apparently, while Heidel is at something like 50?

I could have been misreading it though...
