Bells are the loving best, unless you're in a really obscure/unpopular spot.

Nothing makes people, who have no business flagging up, flag up more than you running into their grind spots when a bell is active.

Bells are fine unless someone posts it on the bell discord in which case lol have fun.

I post bells on that discord if all I'm doing is lifeskilling or something as a minor troll to anyone grinding on that channel. The amount of chain jail notifications that happen afterwards is hilarious.

Whenever someone flags me I just kite them around indefinitely or at least try to.

I have had a few people cry to my guild leader about it. In lovely mediah areas because I have a tin can gear score.

A few months ago we were permadecced by everyone and I died any time I was in mediah

Glad to be a bully now I guess but I don't think I'd ever be so bitch made to message an enemy guild leader about how mad I was

It's still 56 but 56-60 had the xp requirement slashed by something like 75% or more.

It's 61. I did 56->58 with afk life skills and my account is not even 2 months old.

edit: And now I'm at 58 9% without killing a dude or leaving calph.

At 55, each calpheon daily quest gives you 1% of exp. Which is how I'm leveling my witch because lol I can't even be bothered to kill stuff with it it's so bad.

You can do 60->61 in... 50-100h (maybe a bit less if you're really geared blah blah) but getting to 62 is a huge undertaking so most people stop there. I'd get to 61 on at least one character because you get what's essentially a TRI crescent (softcap) ring.

They're pretty god-damned ridiculous. I watched the video on the node exploits from a month or two before I started and was shocked to find out that most of these people had already been banned before for the same bug and Kakao never fixed anything

You can move alts and their active mounts between cities while they're logged out.

Except the desert city because who knows why.

I meant actually walking around, jumping, climbing on things, that kind of thing, playing the game

The only thing wrong with it is you control like a boat at times if you don't let go of your movement keys for a split second before changing directions.

I've no idea how this compares to the past. I'll say the game is far more shallow than it seems, and the combat is really overrated by the people who like the game.

So it's odd in the sense that while moving, A and D are turn keys instead of strafe keys, and you don't just sprint while holding shift, pressing shift triggers sprinting and you stop momentarily to stop sprinting (or at least take your finger off the W key)

It was a bit awkward for the first 2 hours when I just came back, but I'm getting used to it pretty quick and don't seem to have much problems getting around. The other thing is that strafing in combat is better accomplished by a sideways attack, which, again, thing to get used to, but now that I'm more used to it it's getting easier. It's definitely different though and I could see it being a deal breaker for some given that even I don't understand why they made a departure from almost every game produced.

If you even look at a puddle you are going to figuratively drown to death. Someone told me you literally can't, but boy are the water controls unbelievably weird and awkward even once you understand how they work. Especially getting out of water in places where they didn't really plan for you to be in water, like the puddle near that one node south of calpheon that has the ore. It took me 10 minutes to get out of that thing and it's like barely the size of your character and about knee high.

You forgot that your camera view also doesn't impact movement if you're jamming fast enough. The solution is to let go of movement keys and press new ones every time you are going to change directions. Otherwise, you look like a human but you're actually a cargo freighter and your course is set.

Does anyone know why I can't fish in this lake? It's east of Velia, up a cliff, there's elk everywhere. Every time I throw the lure in my guy just pulls it out like I've thrown it onto land, but it's definitely water, you can swim in it.

I think you used to be able to vaguely around launch. Probably bugged?

Can't log in to check myself as I realized all I was doing for months was logging in every day for the attendance reward so I purged the client.

That spot is called Serene Spring.

It was nerfed a long time ago (so that people couldn't fish up relic shards using the abundant resources). All you can catch there is Sandeel, Fish Bones and Seaweed.

Seeing your character cast the rod out then jerk it back immediately means the spot where the lure landed wasn't a valid fishing spot.

That bit's nice and deep though, looks really fishable. I climbed up the waterfall and found some water I could fish in, it was ankle deep.

the debate of the ontological trap question is an eternal struggle. the only concrete unchanging truth you should recognize is that all games play better on alienware.

I had left for 6 months and they were talking about alienware computers and then came back .. they were still talking about them - it was like I never left

Hit esc to go to the menu and then go to chat filters, you can make your own custom chat filters and never have to see alienware again. It filters out the entire message containing the word, not just the word.
