Arguing about Lore for 5 years and counting



Okay I spent a loving week downloading the game and whenever I launch the game I get a black screen and music and Jack poo poo else. What gives? My old computer ran the game (with poo poo frame rate, but it ran) this one is supposed to be a wee bit better, it should loving run at least!

Edit: and apparently it is a well known issue? Is there a well known fix or some poo poo?

this happens to me about half of the time I launch the game, alt+tabbing out and then back in or re-launching the game usually fixes it

Launched the game at least 6 times, the only time it DIDNT happen was like 4 am, I fell asleep before it loaded up and when I nodded back up it was the login screen.

And the loving internet was down at the time so fuuuuuu

Downloaded this again. Think I am going to see if I still have my characters and try the necro. People thinking stam or mag? Gunna spend the weekend sorting characters... if they still exist. Left everyone partially geared and in disarray.

E: yup. all my characters are half nekked, half geared. Send me an invite if you get a chance. @naktl. Once I get sorted I think I will want to be dungeoning, trialing, pvp etc.

think I need to decide a "main" and stick to playing that for awhile. Lotta things been nerfed/buffed/changed since I played. Any suggestions for a good main these days?

i know everyone compares MMOs to WoW, but could I get a breakdown of how this compares to FFXIV? Like specifically do you hvae rottationally based classes and high tier raiding adn things? Are there roles in dungeons combat? Is there a meta around how you build classes?

There are roles but they're much looser. It plays a lot more like a TES game with co-op dungeons. There is a meta for each class depending on what you want to do. Classes have rotations but it's more complex because of light and heavy attacks. Basically it's a totally different MMO from FF14 and fun for different reasons.

So probably a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway.

I have 191 CP from back when I played when Morrowind came out, and now I'm leveling up a new character. When this character hits level 50, will it instantly be able to use 160CP gear or will there still be a 'leveling process' of some kind to get from 50 through the different CP levels of gear?

It’ll immediately be able to use 160 gear. No catch-up needed.

Hey man been a while! Sent out the invite to get you back in. Unfortunately it seems like most of the old crew is gone, Floob and I are probably the only ones left from before the game picked up. Sluggo was probably the most recent departure (irl stuff, got kinda bored with the game as well), hopefully more people start coming back (not very likely but one can hope!).

Thanks. I will get on a bit later.

We might get some folks back for the Necro. That’s what sorta reminded me... "oh yeah... that’s a pretty cool game".

I think I have a bit of break from my work projects. Dunno how effective I will be in game since I also seem to have a bag of weed.

What do you think I should gear and level for PvP? Any ideas?

I am leveling a magica sorc since I don’t have one. I have also never beaten Maelstrom on vet and think I might level him for that. Means I will eventually need to gear up Necropotence and such. Probably start leveling a Necro as well. I have a baby stamden and he might be cool, it prob gunna wait on him. Wish I could have another character slot. :/

I have a full roster of characters still. Most of the lvl50, cp178(?). None correctly geared and a bunch sort of nekked since I was in between re-gearing when I had to stop playing. Gunna take a while and familiarize myself with new gear and new builds. I have some gold, a bunch of the elements from Imperial City and such. Need to remember how to use all that.

I have a stamDK I was leveling. Do they work now?

Oh yeh... have they changed something about animation canceling? Seems different, but maybe just my internet?

Veteran versions of every group dungeon in the game with optional hard mode on the final bosses and rotating quests for 3 dungeons daily, plus quite a few trials (raids/12-person dungeons). For solo PvE, I think there's just Maelstrom Arena, or making solo attempts at group content (which can actually be really fun).

Like most mmos, larger group content is the endgame (12-man trials). Vet dungeons are generally not considered endgame - some of the dlc dungeons in vet hm can be quite challenging though.

A few days to a few weeks (AGS took a few weeks to iron out the bugs after Wrathstone).

I'm not sure that the guy who wrote AUI still plays. For now, there's a fix that seems to work, pulled from here

Go to AUI\modules\minimap\classes\MapPinClass.lua, open that in notepad and change "IsImperialCityGate()" to "IsImperialCityPin()"

Speaking as someone who has only casually done low level PVP, the most fun I had by far was with Templar, because of Piercing Javelin. The stam morph doesn't have knockback anymore, but that arguably makes it more effective in certain situations, like ambushing people standing on parapets from below. My MO was to initiate combat with Binding Javelin, debuff defense with Focused Aim, and then hopefully follow through before they could properly recover. Considering I was speced for PvE DPS instead of PVP (so, glass cannon), this worked surprisingly well.

Edit: Invite sent.
