It's worth noting that this game is pretty good solo if you're into that.
That way you never have to worry about lag and you can set your ideal rates of growth.

I have a solo game going and it's been fun to dick around for a couple hours at 10X and make a kingdom.

maybe. they said it was coming. they also said todays patch would be released "in the next few days" and it was released like 10 hours later. so who knows how their time scales work :P

So a group of NPCs that tame animals makes me feel like the next god to get added is going to be Jhebbal Sag.

That seems likely since there's already an interactive NPC in the game called Child of Jhebbal Sag.

Building in local games is currently broken, unfortunately—you can place things, but you can't see the preview of where they are going to go.

With the free respec we just got with the patch, are there any recipe/character calculators anyone knows about? Trying to coordinate what my friends and I are going to learn for recipes so we can min/max our points.

Ideally I'd come up with some kind of roles for each of us (builder, weapon/armorsmith, altar boy) and we'd each have a set path to burn all our points on.

None so deprived
a lot of pre requisites were either changed or dropped and a few were added so there are probably no up to date ones, only thing I could find was a spreadsheet for the old version

So Stat points got a calculator that I stumbled upon when looking up if it was just offical 178 or all official servers that were crashing every 20 minutes. It's all of them.

no.
What seems to be the best settings for popular servers now?
We had a vanilla setting server that went 3x and all the pvp people left saying it was easy mode and there was no longer any point to raiding but some other random people joined. When our host died we set up a new 3x pvp server and I think only one random person has joined.

The GSF server "Mittani's Wasteland" is vanilla. We don't want 1000s of abandoned bases and scrubs.

Work for your base damnit. We are three days old, and we already have had 6 pubbie refugees join from other servers with like 5x that are just ridiculous.

It should be a wasteland where you have to scratch and hoard to survive, not an iron city every 20 feet.

This is fun for like two or three weeks. Eventually the XP curve gets out of hand and you're established enough that gathering resources and slaves doesnt have much challenge, and at that point it makes sense to crank up the speed because the interesting part of the game has become just building your poo poo.

I would say 5 points of agi aren't a horrible idea due to the fact that it give you nudie armor that will mitigate a small amount of damage, but when you have 400 hp that adds up over the like 12 hits it takes to kill you and might add to a 13th, which scrublord pubbies might not have the grit for.

We play on a 2x server, which seems like not too much or too little. I can't imagine that 1x sucks that bad.

They apparently region locked the official servers to prevent East/West fuckery, but this move somehow made the official servers start showing up at all for me here in Taiwan. I guess Taiwanese are the new offline raiding kings?

I quit just because no one else played so it was all pointless. I'm playing on a random UK server now since I couldn't play on the officials with goons even if I wanted to apparently because of region locked servers. Which is a great idea, by the way. Does it help with overall ping at all?

"The body of a dead enemy always smells sweet."
I'm confused by the time settings on my server. I keep fiddling with them but never seem to get what I want.

Please tell me if these are right for what I want...

I want almost no night and a fast transition between the two with a long 24 hour cycle.

So Day Cycle Speed 10 for the longest 24 hour cycle?

Daytime Speed 10 for the longest daylight?

Nighttime Speed 0.1 for the shortest night?

Dawn/Dusk Speed 0.1 for the fastest transition?

Man it really sucks that Asia isn't allowed to play on official servers. We had a good local server, but they mysteriously shut down after the last patch, which kind of sucks, because even if we move servers there's no guarantee that they won't just vanish again.

Snatch Duster posted:

Yeah, we tried out a new server and they have like ten seconds of night. No nighttime raiding, no reason to ever build torches or lamps. Sad.
