Who here honestly expects to still be playing at that point?

I mean, we're a fickle bunch at the best of times.

I probably will. Overwatch just dropped and Legion is coming soon™, so BDO's not my main focus right this minute, but it's still fun and it's easy to scale down your active time with all the system tray afk type poo poo.

Speaking of, has anyone looked into afk farming now that workers can tend gardens?

I'm contrib-poor so I only have 1 large farm running, but I've had a giant tending to it ever since that patch hit. It's hit or miss in my opinion. Workers won't level while gardening, and it feels like mine runs out of stamina really fast. Like, "in 4 hours he heads back to his lodging" fast.

Edit: I should mention that I've been growing 10x "1 slot" plants in my garden which each have a chance to need pruning/etc. I'd assume that a garden with 5x "2 slot" plants would cause the worker to burn stamina half as fast, since fewer actions would need to be taken in a given timeframe. The whole "no worker exp gained" thing is irritating though.

Pointless to have a worker assigned to your garden overnight since the plants will grow in to 120% just fine, but worth assigning if you, say, get home from work, harvest seeds, immediately replant and want to collect a normal harvest before replanting and going afk for the night.

if he put plants on the corners of his farm, his worker would pick them up, destroy the rest of his plants, and send his farm to his bank

When I heard about assigning workers to farms I initially assumed they'd at least harvest for you. Farming remains way too much micromanagement bullshit for me to bother with.

You might not want to harvest things at certain times, and you have to choices when you harvest. I suppose you could create a system where you can send your workers to do one particular thing(breed or harvest), but it'd have to be specific enough for people growing multiple crops to pick and choose what they're doing. Since crops take like 6 goddamn hours to grow just having my workers prune them so they never stop cause of issues is enough for me.

With no sub, I have a hard time not imagining this game as something people put down and come back to unless they're super involved in the PvP arms race. I do think with Node Wars comin' up those people will get very engaged, cause holding your castle has a pretty strong pride element to it.

They should add a dropdown or checkboxes for "tend garden | gather seeds | harvest" when selecting which worker to send to a garden. Problem solved.

Agreed. Node wars epeen is another reason to have one guild be pve and one be pvp, imo. But I'll be there either way.

Not being able to access the NPC market within 10 minutes of login is some of the stupidest bullshit I ever did see in a videogame. This bullshit is compounded by the fact that if you start to change characters or channels and then remember you have stuff to sell first, no matter how early you smack that cancel button, it's almost always going to do it anyway, even after the timer stops and you exit the menu. And occasionally when that happens, you get locked up mid transfer with neverending LUA error popups. The menus in this game are the loving best!

not as interesting but way funnier

i took a whole lot of loving ambien. i blacked out. i fell 30 feet out a window. i crawled 100 yards to the river with what looks like iraqi vet war wounds. i blacked out again. i woke up in ICU trauma center about 22 hours later with some bruises and perfectly intact body. i was medically clear for release that same day except the part where i couldn't really walk much

i don't remember important details like "why didn't you use the loving stairway lewtt", "how/why did you walk to the riverside lewtt", "why did you take so much ambien you don't even remember the moment you discovered you were immortal lewtt" or "why isn't my contract refreshed lewtt"

the ambien tells me i don't need the answer to these questions. and i trust it with my life

considering i don't remember poo poo, this poker match with death is surreal and loving hilarious to me

I've figured out the best method is to use alt+right click and backtrack a waypoint along your auto path from the first spot you turn around at, before you hit the auto loop button. It causes you to turn more sharply and not get caught on things if you do it correctly.

I do this and then watch it complete a loop or two just to be sure, and I've still experienced what DancingShade is talking about. The game sometimes just decides autopath is for chumps and goes rogue.

I've also had an issue lately with the game consistently crashing a few minutes after I set up an autoloop and go to bed. I don't know if it's the new Merchant Wagon or Heidel or Balenos O1 again, but there's something it doesn't like. It's done it three nights running. Which is particularly nasty since the game spools the GPU up to max when it crashes to the main menu. The whole idea is for the game to run in the system tray in a near idle state at night, not to perform loving stress tests on my machine when no one is awake to keep an eye on it. :argh:

Oh and I'm glad you're not dead, Lewtt. Your tale of trials cracked me the gently caress up last night. If it's any consolation I can't walk right now either, blew my knees out this weekend trying to keep up with in-shape people at laser tag. At least you got a fun ambien trip out of it!

Usually the autoloop fails like that because some rear end in a top hat auto-pathed right into your loop and just stopped which hung your horse/wagon up and then they end up trying to go around which causes the hang up. Kill all AFKers.
