A question for EU goons - how is the lag/connection to the NA server from this side of the pond? I watched some of Camaro Racers vids and I could defo hear EU accents so there are some of us on there, but my connection is not fibre, so not the fastest.

I play on EU even though I am NA, so if you want a group I can at least vouch for you in Vanirs, this isn't a Goon Group, but they have some of the best, if not the best lancers on EU. Their core members are really really good at pvp and hold training's regularly during the week. I created a character on the NA server for pvp on US time zone, joined the Blood Vikings since we where all apart of the Blood Pact in closed/open beta. I have yet to ride out and say hello to the NA goons yet, Luckily I got my character Don Quixote. Killing Chinese is so much fun. I think we do about 1-2 raids a night down there, I have many many heads of the Chinese and all the loot (lovely loot).

To answer your question, I have a 200~ ms ping on EU and on NA 80~. I noticed right off the bat how my hits and lancing felt. Archery can be utilized on both servers if that is your thing, there is about a half a second different in melee. Up to you, play with who you feel you will stick with, and enjoy playing, this game is group oriented.

@everyone Just FYI, we've banned 20 accounts (mostly on Buyan) who exploited a recently fixed bug with booster bonus stacking during lagging servers. Our thanks to some good and honest players who had reported this bug instead of exploiting it!(edited)


So uhh... who got banned? Rather.. which one of you guys got banned?

Delete Local Content was the most compelling part of the game for me. The post-game Request Refund content was less satisfying, mostly because they didn't give me my money back.

Counterpoint: The guild is now larger than it's ever been and we pretty much control an entire quadrant of the map almost uncontested. There is more gear than we can store and PVP is pretty much 24/7

We're now probationary members of FU and the Chinese guilds are beginning to encroach on our part of the world, things are heating up and there's never been a better time to join. We got the gear, the food, the skills, the base- all we need are more troops!

It's a shame this game is more about writing scripts to auto attack a training dummy than it is about actually doing fun things. The PvP death penalty is literally just more hours of scripted grinding, and with the devs patching out the skill gain exploit, the whole thing is made even more plodding, dull, and empty.

Why PvP if a stray arrow can delete 8 hours of skill grinding? Why raid other players if we already have everything and don't need anything more? Why leave the base if the vast majority of skills can be capped by auto-clicking the same square over and over and over? Why play the game if there's no reason to leave the base?

As long as you don't poo poo-tank your alignment by random murder, you actually don't lose anything when you die. Random ganking of neutrals/"innocent" players is completely okay, you just have to accept the eventual consequences of doing it too much

That is 100% not how it went down, that's not how a bunch of dudes got banned. They knew about the exploit because several other groups independently discovered it, who knows what led the devs to ban the people they banned because it was scattershot as gently caress.

oh I'm sorry I forgot nobody wants to pvp or anything with the cool people we like to pvp with who have the same enemies we do with absolutely no requirement other than don't trade with alliance enemies :psyduck:

On this point I disagree:



Their targeting was pretty pointed

I would argue they knew where and how to look, once it was explained how to duplicate to a third party.
