anyone try out animal handling and battle chemistry and have opinions on golems vs animal pets?

If the golem dies, you recast. Golems are sort of ...programmable?.

Golems did not worked for me, they where too passive (they would not attack my target and stay pacifist for a long time in each combat).

Golems seems better, except if you can somehow get a awesome pet, then pets are better. But I have not thought about it much.

golems are great with investment, animal handling pets are good across the board (this was true when I last logged in a month ago)

You can have a pet chase after a mob and kick the poo poo out of it. Unless something's changed recently, the golem was tethered to you so you had to drag the mob into the AOE radius of the golem. I didn't find it terribly effective as a combat skill when soloing. Maybe it's better in groups but the AOEs are too small to really be super useful since people spread out quite a bit.

Also, loving Battle Chem is expensive.

Someone linked this in another thread and I'm having a blast, I'm having nostalgia for games I never played.

Do goons still play this and/or is there a guild? Soloing some of these dungeons doesn't seem viable.

It looks like a update is comming soon, with more things planned after it.

On he update it will come the change to some skills to have a limit raised to 60.

Then the chem npc moved out of serbule.

The cool planned feature that may release soonish are a new race (fairies), new ui, and a new realm (the fairies land).

Chem finnaly seems that will not change much.

Any word on whether they will allow race swapping like the various animal forms or if it's a one time and done sort of thing?

There won't be race swapping. You need to do a quest to Unlock them. Then you need to roll a new character. The creator has stated several times he wants people rolling alts. Personally, I have a Lycan alt because I hate being forced to play a class every 30 days. It's also handy for when you burn through a vendors councils. You can use the alt to sell.

Along those same lines, they opened up the ability to donate again. They have tiered rewards ,and some will allow you to play as any race without doing the unlock quests.

This is probably my favorite MMO since EQ. Here are some of the things that set it apart to me:

-No trivial loot code(bosses you out level still drop gear) , and good gear can drop from solo mobs.
-You don't really out level mobs. They will give exp no matter your level.
-Group content is very accessible.
-The grind is very deftly obfuscated. IE, you can level up skills really quick. The grind is there in other areas, but it's well hidden.
-You can turn off all the trees and ground clutter, and see all the way across a zone =) I am looking at you mushroom to access the Myconian Cave!!!

All those factors combined to make the game really chill as some of the previous posters alluded.

That said, the cold damage/body heat bullshit in Kur annoys me to no end. It's not clever or challenging. It's just straight up annoying, and it causes the majority of the player base to ignore huge swathes of content.

How you pass money/items to alts?

There is a transfer vault next to the Banker in Serbule. Accounts are free though, and it's easier to transfer a bunch at a time to an alt account and transfer back.

If any of you dickbirds wants to be a giant bat, give me a timeframe to show up and bite you. Batform is rad as gently caress, even if most pansy-rear end pantywaist not-animal NPCs are terrified of 'em.

Bat players sometimes terrify me. Some like to hang in the roofts of serbule and in the dark the only visible thing is their eyes.

I would probably make a alt some day and get it to become bat.

Do bats have a special skillset, or they have to rely in psychology or something like that? (and the dumber question of all) can they fly?

They have bat skills like laser eyes, night vision, screech etc. They can fly, but it drains power fast

Started playing this a few days ago. Wish I had checked it out sooner. It's clunky, but really nice regardless. If it isn't too expensive on Steam I might pick it up. My buddy managed to get a big head. :v:

How big is the game anyway? How many zones are there and is there any PVP to speak of? Like "PVP" zones.

There's a PVP basement and some pvp potions but it's very much not planned to be a big thing. Don't expect a pvp zone like, ever. The game has a decent amount of zones and dungeons, when I played there were like 5 zones but http://projectgorgon.com/wiki/Zones now has 9 listed.

Not to mention that every zone has a handful of dungeons attached to them so the number gets kinda big.

Yeah they are kinda splitting off to PG, GW2, and BDO for the most part.

I like PGs skill system but I do think things level up to fast currently (Im guessing for alpha purposes).

The eventual skill cap is supposed to be 100 so I imagine it'll slow down from the current cap.

Too fast? Bro.

Also yes, batform can fly and has some p. rad skills - a paralyzing bite, a "hey llook attack my clone" skill, a screech that does aoe damage, cool poo poo. It's a fun skillset but you can't use weapon skillsets or fire magic with it. Necromancy and animal handling work though, and being able to just fly the gently caress over lovely areas is fun in and of itself.

Yeah considering the game caps out a mid level right now, I think leveling speed is OK. The do need to nerf mob density in Kur Tower though. It's a level 45-ish dungeon and still the fastest place to level to 70.

Bat / Mentalism is where it's at. Being able to keep up the power HOTs while flying really pushes your range. Especially when you get some +power mods on your gear.

Oh and animal forms, they restrict a lot of things and npc interactions, and are permanent until you remove them.
