I mean if you read the thread...

Casually playing, you can easily reach t5 first week, which is comparable with most mmo leveling curves.

reading threads..

I guess I didn't specifically say like.. IF YOU PLAY 3 HOURS A DAY IT WILL TAKE YOU 1903 DAYS TO REACH T8. I guess I can do that math for people if that's really what it's going to take to play.

Assuming you don't switch weapons every 5 minutes and actually stick with whatever archetype you want to play. You will easily be T5 by the end of the week. You would have to be bad or play 1 hour a day to not achieve that. Otherwise if you go on a fame group with the guild you could likely be T6 with 2 days.

I mean seriously, Gluttony's people have been playing for maybe 2.5 weeks now and most of them are T6 or more. So that's two weeks of whatever. The grind will be at T6+, or in crafting and gathering depending on how OCD you are about filling bars and making them shiny. If you find yourself wanting 100/100 mastery on a specific subgroup. Then yes, be prepared to grind. But assuming you don't care about that 0.02 increase like most people should not be currently. It's a walk in the park.

To elaborate on what forge said for further perspective:

Many of Gluttony's crew did the following:

Every armor to t4
Every weapon to t4
1-2 Builds to T6

in 2.5 weeks. Fame is easy peasy now

Ask me about how my football team's success determines my self worth, and how I wish I lived in New Orleans.
Holy hell, I forgot this game even existed! I'll be in on this next week when I get back home.

e:

Is gold hard to come by and premium status that coveted that I should pay the $50 or will the $30 be enough to not screw me out of the gate?

You can always buy $20 worth of gold if you decide to renew the premium after a month. Which will last you a few months I think.

Are you guys gonna try to take and maintain a full loot pvp (red/black unless anything has changed) enabled territory?

If this goon guild loses a PvP fight will we cry about a weapon we deem unfair non-stop for like 2 weeks and quit the game?

I kinda wanna play but goon guilds in every game for the past I dunno how many years have been such shitshows

We will likely take a black territory. However, we won't be building on it right away until we get a feel for how things are going to go. I did actually learn something in the 2+ years of playing this. So the GI will be the main thing we base out of for a bit until we see how it unfolds. This way we don't lose 80000 hours of goon work.

As I alluded to in the OP we have a healthy set of allies. All of which will also be claiming black territory. The idea is we'll sit side by side to limit attack vectors. Next we can craft and sleep on their porch if we need and decide not to take one. So we're good to go either way.

to be clear our goon guild isn't comprised of 100% goons. our Albion Online goon faction is partnering with the darkfall/UO "goon guild" which is led by a goon but is populated mostly by powergamer UO dudes who are not from the SA forums. they have existing infrastructure and leadership from before, and crybaby goon drama bullshit isn't going to break up the guild.

there are only a handful of us who have played this game for more than a week at a time since 2015 and a goon only guild probably wouldn't get very far. the crew we're joining are all extremely dedicated to the poopsock life and even with a bunch of dumb goons dragging them down i don't doubt that our guild will be pretty successful.

Allies are a very good thing, we can't take on the world by ourselves, not even EVE goons do that. They are so successful because of their allies. Let's make SA great again, and send rando pubs to GBS to poo poo post their dicks.

For those wondering my role in all this, and why I'm in a leadership role - I do not deal with politics. That is forge representing SA, and Gluttony representing everyone (as well as EQMS). My strengths are in boosting morale, guild unity, inspiring people to do better at what they set out to do, and on-grid tactics.

So, my role is to help you kick rear end however I can. I will do my best to get you linked up with people that know the most about your specific role, and will happily lead you to Valhalla on the battlefield. I will be actively GvGing as a tank where needed, but my primary role is ZvZ tank & command.

My job is to facilitate fun, and dammit we're gonna have some fun in this bad game.

If you have questions about your role and don't even know what the gently caress why, PM me @Dodgin and I can direct you to someone who does.

If any group leaders actually want a radio setup for their runs or think some themed tunes would be good let me know, I'll see about getting that up and running. If not I'm not going to bother setting up an icecast, which I ran for 3 betas and never got over 3 listeners after the first.

I did a project with an icecast client about a year ago. It was rough. Bless u for working with that and a radio would be p cool imo. @FormerFatty might have good suggestions for genre types and may even load it up for his stream.

I'll also add that we achieved T4 in about 2 days of having no idea how to grind efficiently at all(or even play the game). We also stopped grinding past t4... I think looking back now, if the game started again and we had the help of forge and his other advisors(pictured below), you can/will get t4 and be PVPing the first day if youre into that.



If youre into PVE i imagine you can get to t4 gathering pretty quickly and start moving to the black lands on day 1 to start farming that good good under protection of goon killers.

We are currently considering a couple strategies -- some involving taking multiple blackzone cities/farms, some involve taking a mix of black/red, some involve taking a single city in black, and some involve living out of our alliance cities in the black.

The UO and Darkfall players(goons/non goons) that have played with me know that we are chill and down to troll but at the end of the day, if you constantly get your poo poo pushed in, the game becomes unfun quickly. That being said, we have to anticipate not winning every fight, including GvGs, but we will without doubt be focusing guild efforts on being competitive for GvG, ZvZ, and tons of ganking/PKing.

If you are they type to cry or rage because you died and lost your t4/t5 gear then you are probably not a good fit for the guild(or the game or a non plenty of fish relationship etc) but Im pretty sure everyone here will be realize that its okay toe die in a PVP game(our mantra from UO).

I took leave from the 17th to the 28th. Looks like some satcom students will be missing their instructor.

-I'm guessing we grind to t3 in whatever poo poo zone we spawn in and then migrate to carleon or carlton, or are we spawning and heading to the same nominal zone? When do we get our initial orders/whatnot?
