I think they were referring to this maintenance that just happened. The XP bonus is for this weekend until Monday.

Greetings Adventurers,

Due to today's unscheduled maintenance we are going to give everyone a boost over the weekend! From the time the servers come back up until Monday at 08:00 UTC everyone will benefit from +10% EXP for all Life/Combat/Skill. If you have not seen the patch notes yet, make sure you check them out >Here<.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but we hope you enjoy the boost over the weekend!

And we get autolooping too? I like Daum.

Autopathing owns. I feel a bit like my horse's stamina is going down somewhat faster than normal but maybe I'm just nuts. Also, once you set an autopath, a checkbox under your horse's hp/stm appears where you can select it to automatically eat carrots in your bag when it runs low on stamina.

Finally going to break tier 4, woo!

I can set way points, but I can't figure out how to set an Autoloop.

Okay, I figured it out. If anyone else hasn't, then clear your current waypoint, make a new one at the destination while holding ALT, then click back on your current position holding ALT again and it'll close the loop.

You can also chain it with more than one waypoint from what I heard

Yeah, I'm curious what kind of loops people will settle on for afk-horse training. You could try to loop around a city so you are in a safe zone but too many turns slows your exp rate down and you'd probably be bumping into a bunch of people. Alternatively if you set a long trent -> altinova loop or something like that, someone can just easily gank you and then you get no exp period. (Also bandits will attack the cart.... hmm.)

Xzov posted:

The other regions had it with the Mediah update so... they actually withheld it under the guise of it being a "catch-up" mechanic and then relented when people polled that they wanted it in. It'd be ridiculous not to have auto-looping because higher tier horses take dozens of hours to level up.

The skill on level 10 t1 pet and the 10% exp weekend are pretty rad and not something they had to do, though.

I don't even care if it's viable in pvp, I'll be rolling a plum because her awakening weapon is a proper spear, spears are awesome, and no mmos I've played have done spears "right" yet.

If it is viable, that's a nice bonus. Here's hoping.

Yeah, I'm also considering it because I think a spear class sounds fun. I remember when they took spears out of Oblivion I was pissed since my favorite Morrowind character was a spear using medium armor wearing lizardman.

I've mostly been playing a tamer, but I really like the idea behind the blader/plum and ninja classes. How soon do we expect to see ninjas after we get bladers? I'm guessing that they will be very popular classes.

Also, is it true that currently PvP is 'ranged or gtfo'? I feel like I almost see 2 rangers for every 1 of any other class (although admittedly I often get valks and rangers mixed up at a glance). I hardly see any berserkers, and warriors seem surprisingly rare as well.

Day or so before we got Mediah, one of Daum guys allegedly said that new classes are coming "very soon" - no idea if all, or just some of them, though.

PvP is gear or gtfo primarily, though it will suck to fight well equipped (especially after we get enchanting past +15) rangers at any point in time (unless you outgear them significantly) until they get patched (as far as I've heard, there recently was patch on KR that did significantly decrease shotgun damage, amongst other things), unless you are ranger, sorceress, kunoichi, or particularly well playing ninja/blader/plum - as far as non-awakening 1v1 PvP goes. Group PvP is a different beast, but the larger the groups are the less fun it is for melee classes, generally speaking.

Just some Kzarka/Guildboss stuff I've scraped from one of the CMs on the main forums:

Kzarka will spawn in every 8 to 16 hours after server opens. After spawned or killed then it will spawn every 32 to 44 hours.

The loot system is more complicated than I have seen most people explain it, but to give the simplified version, there is two brackets; one for high damage and one for not high damage. Each pool has their own loot chances etc, this is in place prevent the scenario the OP explained. (the scenario was where geared people get more geared, plebs get nothing)

Size of the boss scroll and TTK both factor in the loot, obviously RNG does as well. I suggest you find a balance of the biggest boss you can handle in 15-25 minutes. (this is relating to guild bosses)

Thanks. Hopefully things will balance out over time since the ranged classes don't really interest me all that much.

Is there some form of dueling in this game? It would be nice to practice 1v1 against people since I'm not normally a very effective PvPer in these types of games.

There are arenas located outside all of the major cities which let you fight other players with no consequences. If you die in one you can rez on the spot without an Ellion's Tear item. The general unspoken etiquette is that mana pots are fine but not health pots, so it doesn't emulate standard world pvp. Still good mechanical practice though.

I frequently duel people at the Heidel arena in the topmost channel.

There are arena areas that have PVP without penalties, you can organise duels there.

Not really, you need to be in a specific channel only for group and guild activities.

I was wondering how that works for ownership of castles and nodes. Is ownership the same between all the channels or does each one have unique ownership?

I would say that it's same between channels, but with channel clusters unique to our region I honestly have no idea.

I know you were in a hurry to get this sick burn out, but I also had this confusion when I joined because the first post in this thread also says this:

The current primary Goon guild is on Orwen/Balenos 2. I am leading goons to the glorious land of tears and potatoes. We are at eternal war with ParksandRec led by Grithok. Invite your friends, invite your enemies, join any guild, it doesn't matter. We're just here for the drama and pacts.
