I know liking things is not really acceptable, but after playing for about 40 hours I finally got to Calpheon and was super impressed with how pretty and full of of stuff it is.

If I just said "gently caress leveling" for a bit I could probably provide half the guild boats almost as fast as they could be built provided folks kept selling ash plywood on the AH for 7k each.

Honestly I can see why player trading is a bit restricted now. After investing time in making a boat/etc the hard way it took about 3 total days, granted this was putting things into production as the nodes came up. So literally invest in ash node, throw worker at it.

I figure that if I don't enjoy the journey enough in a game like this which puts so much emphasis on "life skills" then there is no point in playing it. To each their own of course. This is just how I like to play. Namaste.

Your Eastern European fact of the day - to meet with bread and salt in plenty of Eastern Europe, Latvia notwithstanding, is a very traditional way to welcome, and to show respect to, a guest.

To be honest, as a gay dood, I'm concerned about this too...
But compared to, well, pretty much almost every other MMO with the exception of maybe FFXIV and ESO, every other game has way more female sexualization.
Male gender lock = an ugly brutish thing with overexaggerated muscles, perfect to boost the fanboys nonexistent self esteem.
Female gender lock = characters straight out of porn and with fitting costumes too, perfect to boost the fanboys one handed mastery.

Yes, it bugs very much that every male class bar Giant has a female counterpart (and its not like Giants are exactly sexy even if you're into... that) but every female class does NOT necessarily have a male counterpart (Sorceress, Tamer, Ranger).
However I trust - no , scratch that, I *hope* they'll release their male counterparts in time, and they will have awesome differences that will do our gender justice (a hot dude with a Scythe? lol count me in).
Especially when coming from TERA which has released 4 absolutely broken, female only, WAAAY-too-flashy-compared-to-the-older classes in a row with no plans for balancing them out with any male ones, I'm just thankful I'm at least being somewhat respected as a player.
And even if they released the females first because well, boobies always sell, I'm also very glad that the males have their own characteristics that are just DIFFERENT and not INFERIOR like in TERA and similar games and that gives me hope that they will balance it out soon enough.

TBH I really like the gender-variations system. It makes you pay attention to your character and the enemy character too.
A Blader will fight differently from a Plum. A male and a female Ninja will use different tactics. However a male and a female Wizard (or Witch) will not, since they don't use physical force.

And it makes sense. The two genders are physically unable to fight the same way.
Males are the ones who evolved as hunters with great strength, accuracy, speed and decision making. They can wait for hours to strike their prey with pinpoint precision and force.
Females have evolved to be gatherers and protectors (an equally important task, obviously), having evolved a different kind of strategic decision making more well-suited for managing resources, as well as a natural meticulousness and amazing instincts that are fine-tuned towards protection and preservation.

And yes, it makes a difference. I'm SO tired of seeing half-naked sluts running around facetanking everything and everyone making them cause all they wanna do is check out dat rear end.
NO. STOP.
My male character has to wear half a ton of armor and can still be sexy. If you don't wanna have 3 armor, you're NOT gonna run around naked.
And no, your sluttly bitch CANNOT physically block a full force blow from an armored dude with a 2-meter-long sword and biceps the size of a tree trunk, just because you think that's sexy.

No. You wanna see boobs in a fight? She's gonna die.
You wanna make a female fight like a male? She's gonna die.

And excuse all the salt but I'm honestly so glad about this.
I'm sick and tired of seeing skinny bitches in pink bikinis and high heels in traditional fantasy games, and especially so when they can somehow fight.
But I've had to swallow it all these years, and I've had to be content with a bit of bicep here and there while these pieces of literal moving fanservice were sexually dancing half-naked in a snow-covered field.
And if anyone complained the fanboys were like "nah there's no difference you're just a sensitive douche just quit and kill yourself" before they went back to fapping.
Nah, I'm SO glad that kind of people are gonna be slaughtered in this game.

Other than that I'm just waiting for the male Sorcerer - I'm confident he'll come reasonably soon. A lot of people wanna play males (not just us gay guys) and for once we're gonna be the ones to tell the neckbeards to shut to and go fap elsewhere.

Thanks for the stuff about Calpheon. The combat is nice but I think I'm going to end up playing this game for the trading so that will be super-useful.

Speaking of which though are there certain goods that can't be sold via NPC trading and have to go via the player Marketplace? In Velia it was easy to tell because all I really made was crates of potatoes and boxes of iron ore, but in Heidal most of the workshops seem to be for weapons/armour/furniture/tools etc which I can't find when I check the trading NPC.

I uninstalled Blade and Soul, this is way more interesting.

Yeah but how do I tell the difference between something I can sell via NPC traders vs something I can't? The way I understand it is the Marketplace is a more traditional player-driven auction house where stuff may or may not sell, while trading via Trade Managers is selling specific goods to NPCs and they're always buying. Is there a way to tell what the Trading Manager will take besides scrolling through the huuuuge list it has? Mainly so I don't do anything like make 1000 swords and cart them across the country only to find the Trade Manager won't buy them.
