After much dithering, I have decided that I *will* play this game. This is a fun game. I like how IMC made moves quickly to address the gold sellers, and it does have a "walk around shooting stuff" mechanic that I enjoy. I haven't clicked around enough or cared enough to know when to use my XP cards, but eventually I hope to reach the "stand in major city jumping on mailbox chatting waiting on PvP queue" end-game.

It does bother me that I get the same FPS on a ThinkPad X240 with Intel HD 4400 graphics as on an ASUS RoG with an i7 and a GTX 860m, but to be honest I'd rather play on the ThinkPad because it's got better arrow keys.

My work machine is an old Latitude e6420 with an i5 and Intel HD 3000 graphics. If that can work -- which I assume it will because this game seems to run at 10-30 FPS regardless of hardware -- then I'm going to use that because it's got beautiful square arrow keys.

Heeeey... Anyone have a Hair Slot 3 with preferably a good line of sp recovery + at least one other good line they'd want to trade for this? Max market price is a gyp so I'd rather trade it with a goon or something.


I might accept a Hat Slot 2 with sp recovery, but my current one isn't terrible.

I shall not! I have an OCD obsession with the way things are arranged on my desk. Basically I always need access to a legal pad with my right hand, so I refuse to use a mouse, so I must use the laptop keyboard because it keeps the often-necessary trackpad nearby.

Also, I bought the e6420 used off of eBay for $400. I only bought it because I needed Windows for work and the machine they asked me to use was archaic.

(Edit: To clarify, I buy... more than I should of used laptops on eBay. None of them cost much -- that Latitude is the most I ever spent -- but I like to f around with old laptops to install various open source operating systems and try to get them to work. FreeBSD especially is tricky with suspend/resume; one day I hope to learn to write device drivers.)

you cant re-spec class choices, but you can reset skills with a cash shop item. you can also reset stat points with a different cash shop item.

i dont really play swordsmen so i dont know about good builds for that. i recommend you do a bit of reading around before you end up at lvl 160 with a character that just isnt fun to play. its really easy to make an unfun build

take 1 point into peltasta. press taunt. hold block. repeat for whole instance.

edit: I guess you could go swordsman 1 peltasta 1 hoplite 2(for finestra and spear lunge to buff other people) squire 3. go heavy con so you can tank everything.

I would not recommend squire as your first class because it will probably be terrible and unfun.

the stat potion is only for the 25 dollar founder pack. and will probably be super rare / limited afterwards.

basically dont plan to respec anything besides your skills ever.

the two classes i wanted to make originally were Fencer and Musketeer, but then i saw that Squire just makes base camps and feeds people salad, so that sounds pretty excellent

alternatively i might make an ~elegant fencer man~ and i have no idea how to navigate the skill builder or what skills are even good; i think the one that lets me block with my weapon and buff Piercing attacks should be good for fencing?

goddamn it korea make an RPG i can understand

Fencer is a good solo class. As far as min/maxing groups goes it is Not The Best DPS and so many people will consider it worthless. Strongly recommend taking peltasta 1 and either barbarian 3 or barbarian 2 corsair 2.

Some of the lag is not exactly their fault. They host with amazon in virginia and they have been getting ddosd like crazy or there's a routing issue or something, because pinging their servers has resulted in a ping anywhere from 28ms to 2000ms+ for me since saturday or so. Not "their" like ToS explicitly but their like amazon. Prior to maint it would take over 5s to use exp cards and because there is no queuing at all it literally meant I pretty much couldn't use exp cards because I had 500+ to use. After maint it has been much better, and earlier today I had a stable ping to the servers of about 28.

I imagine the server lag went down due to the huge population loss, yeah. SA server got massively populated as soon as I checked it.

highly, highly recommend this map. if you follow it and eat cards to stay about 5 levels lower than the map level you cant go wrong. also do dungeons and the merc missions once you hit fedimian at lvl 100
