male and female characters have different hitboxes, dudes can go a little further out in water and still stand and can mine at the water table easier, lady dudes make smaller mineshafts that dudes have trouble getting into which makes me laugh every time

Don't make a female character that you plan to mine with though, because the tunnels are differently sized for men and women. Male characters have to crouch in combat mode or do some weird juking to fit in a female sized hole.

Yeah they do.

If I do this, will I be screwing over the guild or whatever it's called? The alt account was intended to go join globby in griefing peeps, but I don't want my main in goondor to be a slob.

Sorry, my brain doesn't work so good...
Of course, from reading the patchnotes you'll probably end up with more (not necessarily beneficial) bugs relating to animations/etc on females too:

Example:

quote:

Female model shield hitbox and coordinates calculations are fixed. That should make blocking with female models more adequate.

from what i understand, if you go ganking you'll tank your alignment pretty quickly and you'll burn your :10bux: or whatever the abella ticket costs in funnymoney but clearly we've all paid 10bux for less

if your alignment drops too low, you're basically hosed but if it's specifically a gankmans character and you're only warping catalysts straight to your targets it's probably fine.

For insurance purposes, if you lose a skill with the subscription you will lose .8, it covers the loss.


You can play around with some of the builds to drop a point or two into intellect. To increase some of the skills to 90 if that is your thing. These are the current builds my group is utilizing and it has worked out pretty well so far.

Sorry if it's confusing, you don't dump your initial stats into agility because agility is super easy to grind up, whereas constitution is not, and it gives you a decent chunk of EHP (15%), and if you choose instead to go agility you can over write that 15 con in 10 minutes, but overwriting the agi to con takes significantly longer (hours probably).

get:

artisan 30, everything else into natures' lore
slinging to 55
dump everything into con

you need to select KHOOR to get this stat distribution

ok, so I followed this build. last night I got to detroit, I got a torch, I figured out how to build a wall and hit it with the torch and gather plant fibers and stuff. My strength is a mighty 13 now. What's my :shobon: goal for right now? Just keep plugging away at that fence and harvesting stuff to build my skills. Is there anything someone like this dude can do to help the overall effort other than just be better?

You're going to want to get your strength to at LEAST ~30, so you can use most non-2h weapons and equip all the gear you need. In discord there is a ton of pinned info about how to grind skills up easily.

If you're going to go mostly crafting, Willpower/Intelligence are your stat priorities, for PVP it tends to be agility/constitution

We should start running skins vs tabards practice weapons fights to train battling beyond 1v1 spars. There is a SHITLOAD of teamhitting going on, like dudes sideswinging stopped horses/knocked down riders instead of chopping.

I have been travelling recently btw, should be on again later this week.

Not to mention point blank crossbow headshot friendly fire... this is a game that needs to be learned to not be horrible and not be a detriment and/or cannon fodder.

Is there a place where goons mention if you PVP too much in this game and die you lose skills that take tens of hours to re-grind? In addition do you guys mention it costs real money to make a new character?

Someone should inform me how these goons are all supporting themselves financially while playing these poopsockgames.

I started a new alt, ran it down to goonfort and saw some oath breakers, raised the alarm and we killed two mans. Had a bunch of other mans come over and we had a nice fight.

I killed 2 nerds and one horse with a simple crossbow on a 2 hour old character.

scored some awesome poo poo including 3 horses.

So four of us killed 11 Everstorm dudes and took no deaths. We insta popped a afk dude at the logging op. We then followed a dude up to the keep he opened the door, picked up a log and went in. We followed and the slaughtering began. They started logging out after a while because of res sickness, they couldn't do anything.

Plus more poo poo we didn't ss.

Fat.
Last night at nerd fite hour (Judgement Hour) 20 brave goons climbed to the top of a mountain overlooking some pubbie friends who were under siege by a horde of hostile RP nerds. Our heroic goons, undaunted by the overwhelming odds facing them, took aim and repeatedly fired volleys into the enemy until the RPers were obliterated much like this miniature Christmas tree. At the end they attempted to retreat in disarray and many enemy nerds were killed. Only one goon was injured in the fighting.

Join today and you too can obliterate RP nerds!

In other news, Everstorm nerds have conceded to goon superiority and surrendered their weird little town claim thing on server 13 to the goon masses.

I think we've figured out that the best way of producing tier 2 and 3 armor is to take one hardwood billet, 1 feather and 1 metal band. Using this you make 10 bodkin arrows, you then take those arrows and shoot someone in the face then steal their armor.
