The problem is all that good content is gated behind the story quest. You literally cant access the good content without doing the bad. And the fetch quests are more certainly not exclusively side quests. I cant even count the number of times I had to go turn in a quest to Minfilia in The Waking Sands only to be told to go talk to Alphinaud in Ul'dah only to then be sent to talk to some random NPC in another zone. Then Minfilia moves to some other city and the process repeats itself all over again.

Like I said, 3.0 and on they moved lovely fetch quests out of the MSQ. And there's like 2 dungeons behind the MSQ in 2.x, all the other dungeons and all raids are sidequests you can unlock whenever.

on the other hand, it was pretty easy to cheat in ff15. I had to hold off on getting the world first for the first 5? bosses in the bahumat content because it was so easy to no clip through the floor and disable the bosses while your party could still hit him. If anyone was in my ifrit and garuda grps I ran as "GyaruGal" hit me up, I wouldnt mind ruining a new MMO

Yeah, but the problem is you have to do all the content before 3.0 which includes dozens of tedious fetch quests. The dungeons are the best part of the MSQ too. I dont get why that would be considered a problem.

I have a couple of hellswamp properties (including one 24x assuming nobody has gotten cute and put down an 8x8 to block it) I am trying to get rid of. It's not as valuable as it used to be for packs, but still a good staging spot out of the new zone. PM me if you want, I will demo for free to a returning goon. First come first serve. I'll be on (Aranzeb) tonight to demo.

Queued up early this morning. Managed to get in by 10:30am. Run all the green quests. Get my 15+ gilda. Do the blue salt quests for the 8x8 farm, go to port to mirage island to buy my house plans.... Crash to desktop. Restart the game, no grace period, 1100 people in front of me in the queue. So close to actually placing my poo poo down, but now I probably won't be back in the game until this evening. Trino.jpg EDIT: After the maintenance, I managed to get my garden and house down in Solis before being disconnected. So little land has been taken there.

What's the best thing to put in my little farm to make money and how do I get the wood to build my house????

I've been getting in fine and having a decent time, sorry so many of you got boned though. I had fun exploring for a while, got a name I always covet in mmos, and put down a little farm in Solis. For the guy above me, you get wood from chopping trees. Try to find grown wild trees or plant some trees in a secret spot that's hard to find, then come back to get them later. As for what to plant there should be guides online, look up trade packs for regions and find what one sounds the most appealing to make. I think it also helps I have 0 expectations of this game and am the type of person who swaps between 3 games at once, if one isn't working or I'm not feeling like it, I just play one of the others. Rimworld and Pokémon are my other two until the new Story of Seasons comes out aaaaaaa

Also each character is allowed to plant 5 items in the public farms, which get 24hrs of protection before vulnerable. 5 cork trees seems to be the best.

Eltoasto posted:Rimworld owns I just had a small army of mechanoids raid me and I think it may lead to the slow decline and eventual death of my colony. In the chaos I'm still not sure exactly what happened but 3 settlers got either blown up so hard or they burned or something that they didn't even leave bodies for me to bury and I lost all their gear (two charge rifles, fffff). One person actually did leave a corpse to bury but now I'm out a skilled crafter, cook and animal tender with mediocre replacements for most of them. My crafter can't make components to rebuild all the turrets yet and my cook is making basic meals so no mood bonuses and two of my remaining colonists are having mental breaks like every day since their husband and wife were killed so they'll wander around naked in the extreme desert until they collapse or just start setting everything on fire. Still have my human leather comfy chair though god dammit. Archeage Sucks.

That's the best/worst part of rimworld. Rarely do your colonies fail because of one short event, but often it's a series of events or a slow, agonizing crash of dysfunction.

So I can't have characters on both a legacy and a fresh start server...wtf does that matter. I deleted my characters on my old server but the one says it will take 7 days to delete, do I have to wait that long before I can join one of the new servers?

Can't have a fresh start character with an account that has ever had a legacy character, deleting won't change that. Gotta make a new one. And it's required because it's a fresh start, no account linkage with old wealth.

For real, though, what guilds are the goons on east reckoning joining? EDIT: Fun fact! If you're in queue and had to hit alt-enter to get the server screen to show after being disconnected, DO NOT hit alt-enter again after the queue window pops up to fix your window. It will kick you out of the queue. I dropped from ~150 to 1650 as a result. EDIT2: Haven't made it any further because the queue is incredibly unstable. Since I actually got some land I might just give up on playing this for a few days. It is literally unplayable. CompeAnansi fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Dec 13, 2016 |

So I played this game with real life buddies awhile back, but heard it went full P2W. How exactly is this game P2W? Can I like buy weapons now or something? Do people just pump thousands of dollars into in game currency or something? How does P2W work in this game?

Too Poetic posted:How does that even make sense? They don't want people with a million credits from their previous servers or something. Also an update: servers were working fine; Trion took them down, servers no longer working. I guess they broke the queue even more. Too bad I have nothing to do in FFXIV and I don't really care for any other MMOs.

Rimworld update: Today was finals so I haven't played much since the last time but I might actually pull through with this colony. At one point, of the remaining six colonists, two had the plague including my doctor and my backup doctor/backup chef-in-training had muscle parasites. I think a raid at this time would have killed me off but there were none until I managed to buy a slave and pull someone from an earlier raid out of a cryo-chamber and Archeage still sucks.

Too Poetic posted:How does that even make sense? Credits attach to your account, not your character. So you could sell all your saleable stuff on the old server for gold, use the gold to buy to buy APEX off the auction house, convert the APEX to credits on your account, and then roll a new character with access to thousands of 'old' credits. Then use those credits to buy privileges on the new server. This way if you want to buy privileges on the new server you'll have to spend new cash money. And probably some nonsense about fairness.

There aren't many of us, but we're mostly on Reckoning (good luck logging in) and we're split between east and west. I'm east, but I doubt I'll actually get to play for more than 10 mins a day with the current disconnect issues.
