This game looks a lot like an improved Archeage, and the fact that so many old Archeage guys playing it seems to bear that out. As such, does anyone have a spare guest pass?

Game processes go on, fishing including. It does stop rendering so there is no GPU load, CPU load becomes minimal, and RAM load does not decrease significantly. You can hop back into game in bare seconds, it's surprisingly fast.

My concern with this was reports that when it gets disconnected in the tray, it goes to the splash screen and ramps up your GPU to 100%. Is that bullshit?

I didnt see my gpu lock at 100% but it did stay a step below. Not quite 2d mode but not quite full blast. I think it was at like 45% gpu.

Probably depends on GPU and driver combination.

What's retarded about it is you can't even do anything if you DC and are kicked back to the title screen, only immediately quit the game when you click OK. If you're going to do that, just quit the game anyway.

I guess I'm sort of enjoying it but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to do that necessitates a group, at least as far as leveling goes. I miss Chinagame...

Are there methods to level other than run around completing lame quests? Is it practical to just grind in a camp?

First off quests don't level you, if you want character levels grinding is how to do it. Other that that everything else gives a tiny amount of experience. Group things come in at the 45-50 range or in grind groups leveling.

We have goons who still haven't touched leveling and are just crafting.

So, on trade wagons:

If you press R to mount the wagon, and then press T to start your autopath while the animation for climbing on the wagon is in progress, the wagon will snap to the direction of your autopath, meaning you don't have to perform a U-turn when leaving Bartali Farms anymore. Note that it takes a moment for the climbing on the wagon animation to start, also worth noting is I've only tested this with the flimsy cart.

Don't click okay to acknowledge the disconnect. Just click start.
If it hasn't been sitting there a long time it will just take you back to character select.

Green is farming. Like think dirt and water for a second.

Rain water can come and be wiped out real fast.

Yellow is morale for cities that you don't have to care about yet. Probably.


ParksAndRec has plenty of room. If you want in, you know the drill. Message one of the officers or goons or something otherwise we can not invite you.

Drinkfist is the master of coin
Eonwe is the morale officer
the other gus I don't even know I just promoted who ever to officer

You can also left click on the wagon icon in your UI to "whistle" for it to come to you like a mount. But unlike a regular mount, it will just teleport to you. Great for when it is at a bad angle or just a little too far from the trade person.

Another similar trick I found is that you can whistle for a horse that's run out of stamina, and if you set up the distance just right you can start running before it reaches you so it will follow you around. It's much faster than riding it without stamina.

Aaahh it's so pretty. I ran out of females and I'm trying to level up more T3's but the timers on breeding and exchange is rough. Plus I been having crashing issues when I run from one region to another :(

if i get one more brown t3 male i'm going to punch my monitor

As someone who came to this game with the promise of open world PvP and epic GvG wars and castle sieges I have been greatly mislead as to what this game has to offer. I suffered through the atrocious grind to 50 just to find that my style of game play is extremely hard to even do because of all the terrible development ideas. First off, the fact that you are unable to even flag and engage in player vs player combat until level 45 is probably the most idiotic thing I've come across in any game ever so far. Second after I finally got to 50 I am punished for flagging and engaging in end game PvP in the open world because of this karma system, which I admit is fine to have in game but needs to be adjusted so that you can kill more than 4 people before you become a bandit.

Another issue that needs addressed is the Mounts, yes I understand you can partake in mounted combat but unfortunately unless you're a witch you cant use all of you abilities while mounted which makes combat linear and not as fun in my opinion. Also you need to be able to knock people off of their mounts easier for example if you attack from the front force the horse to buck the player off, this will allow ambush combat in a GvG war to be more relevant because as is if an enemy is mounted and I am not he can simply just run away because there is really a low chance of doing enough damage to the horse to kill or knock him off before he is gone.

So far I think the combat system of the game is great but they have created such a Carebear atmosphere for the PvE players they make it feel as if they dont even want PvPers in their game. It just baffles me that you can create such a detailed game but leave out some of the simplest and most important aspects of an MMO which is Player vs Player combat. I urge you to make changes as soon as possible, and if the people who only wish to PvE are the reason there are so many restrictions on PvP give them a non PvP server to play on.

If you are going to make a sandbox game you need to give the sandbox opportunity to all play styles not just PvErs. There are many more problems and this might not be the most well written stance but I wrote it in a hurry and while I am partially upset because as someone who only PvPs I feel as if I'm being punished because I want skill based combat where you fight other players rather than afk fishing all day.

Please make some changes quick and if the Carebears dont like the PvP aspects give them a sever, if not that trust me the game will be better off with out them.
