Why is every game i play unbalanced in the other guys favour?

Is there a source you guys like to use for character builds? I'm levelling a Ranger as my second character and trying out all the abilities before I get the 45 skill reset but have no idea if I'm optimizing properly to take advantage of combos.

Heads up you don't get a second level 45 reset for your alt or any of the big blackstone quests or achievements (all that gold etc)

Six stones isn't that bad!

48 failstacks to finally get my +15 weapon. gently caress that bullshit. I might just leave my armor mostly alone and wait for grunil.

A little statistics magic will show that it's much easier to force and repair with easily obtainable vendor 80k/90k per 10 dura amity weapons than it is to yolo it past +12 :)

Actual practice of +15 weapon having could tell you the cost of forcing +12 to +15 (:ssh: It's slightly less than +15 blue Yuria weapon on marketplace, if set to maximal price.). 48 failstacks is a particularly bad luck, which even then can be turned to a considerable profit - I also had to feed ~50 weapon stones to my +14 bow, but I also have +28 failstack remaining on my character, which by any effective means is worth some ~20 armour stones the least.

The number of contribution points is the limit, and you can release a node to reclaim the points at will. So activate away until you have a plan that needs the points!

If you spend contribution on every node you come across you might not have enough to get houses for production/storage but there's no hard limit.

Today, I've been getting stuck. Not stuck like in the world, but it seems to happen when I interact. My character suddenly moves slowly and has that white burst pop. I can't interact with anything, ESC doesn't work, and I have to force close and restart to get things working again. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
I had something like this when I was lagging absurdly badly.

Don't take more than one level of evasive explosive shot before you are level 54.

Aren't the higher levels worth it for more damage?

No, that damage is from the jump itself, not the arrows you shoot with the combo. The arrows you shoot with the combo scale only off your bow mastery.

We were seeking out people moving trade carts without permits just today!

Enforcing the law can be tough work, but it's honest. Killing smugglers and murdering their carts is just one small part of what we do to make the world a safer place.

I've spent like 5 hours just running trade packages in a tiny region of the world. It could be nothing more than fantasy drugwars and it would be fun as poo poo.

But I also get to be a punch wizard and shoot hadokens at people.

I'm playing on EU (Croxus) and absolutely love the game, building my empire and exploring has been engrossing enough. I do miss making sure people have their trade and horse permissions in order though. There wouldn't happen to be an unofficial goon guild or some gravitational effect pulling random goons in towards a certain guild? On another note, I liked the politics/zone gameplay in AoW, any idea if we're getting something similar in the updates?

Politics should be in already as the game is built on their premise - they just have to turn them on.

So I am amazed of how stupid DAUM have been when it comes to the changes for pvp in this game. It is truly amazing that a company can be this clueless about a game they released:



Lets go through the biggest issues first:



PK’ing: first off pk’ing is you griefing someone else, you are destroying someone’s fun because you want to.

Pk’ing only exist in a VERY small amount of successful games and it ALWAYS have an extremely harsh punishment: 2 example’s

L2 when dying you had a high chance at losing your gear (completely lost it, and if you think gear is hard to get in bdo, lolz you would cry in L2), couldn’t enter town (guards would own you hard if you tried).

Eve-online: you just died (people didn’t have to find and kill you, concord did that) lost your ship and minimum half your stuff in it, and if you entered high sec (1/3 of the game where most stuff was sold and bought. and the 0.0 area's you would be hardpressed to be in without being part of the people owning it) you died (concord did that). AND you couldn’t just use alts, you would need a second account to then buy stuff you needed.



Why is this? Because people will leave if someone can effectively lock them away from playing the content, they want to play and have worked towards.
