I like it because you can dick around with it when you have time or you can just go take a nap or do some actual work and come back to it whenever.

I think it was just the terminology that threw me. Skill Serial No. doesn't sound in line with the sort of game this looks to be.

Which server? I am not finding you, and I just realized there's a few different servers which might make it tough to party up with goons. Maybe it has to be by ID? I'm 19530452 :shrug:

--Make multiple characters.
--On one of them click on Team on the right, then My Team.
--Note the ID at the top of the screen.
--(may be optional, I dunno) click Recruit and make some team info. Probably make it private, you can open it up later.
--For each character you want to join in, go to Team --> Notice Board and search for the main character's ID. Join the team, inputting the password if you made it private.

Now you're a squadron.

The complex of the classes goes like this: Healer is the easiest to play
Tank is the medium
DPS is the most complex to play

Healer has the simple decision tree. Does the boss debuff? If yes then use the anti-debuff skills. If no then put on your highest healing spells.

Tanks have shields, heals, and interruptions. You wanna shield right before the boss does their big damage skills. If the boss has a long use ability like the thunder dragon or turtle the you wanna interrupt it. If the boss is killing your DPS before you then you are going to want to use a taunt ability.

DPS is where you need to balance your burst damage/damage over time with debuffs. Silence last a whooping 2-3 seconds and your window to land it correct need to be really tight for it to work. But for bosses that don't AoE stun then you might just be better off going full ham. Warlocks are going to want to time their silence around the DoT and the re apply DoT ability. Mages have to be careful because their heavy hit spells cost 4 which can make the timing hard. And you probably want the increase critical move before the heavy hit which makes the cost 7.

Edit: Also the healer class decision is the easiest. Do think the grumpy looking owl form is cute or not. If yes then druid. If no then shaman

Do we also need to be same season.
Is there any advantage to rolling your own full team besides more poo poo to do?

Also why does my dude have a notification Bell on him when there ain't poo poo to upgrade . Is it because I can enhance my gear?

Remember, you're updating the gear slot, not the gear itself, so don't hold off upgrading because you think you'll get a new piece of gear. Same goes for skill slots. Whatever skill goes in there is now the level of the slot.

You need to be the same season to play with goons for the first 15 days (season length). After that everyone ends up in their respective Global/NA server. And yes, usually the notification bell means you have enhanceable gear, or better gear to equip (you'll see a clothes icon over your equipment).

Is there any point in enhancing gear early on? I can enhance everything.

I'm wondering if the bell is for the l20 gear.i can't use. Every time I log I it puts a bell on that slot but I'm like ummmm.

If we are going to goonrclab we should figure out which server since you need to reroll.

I'm on NA

Oh poo poo, this is extremely helpful. I've been holding off upgrading my weapon because I was given this lvl 20 one that I wanted to save my upgrade juice for.

The stupid monster chest in Ulala is rigged, I never win :mad:


Also the turtle from the beach area is really dumb. If there's not going to be a way to specifically activate skills at a given moment, then don't make a monster with an ability that if you don't interrupt basically wipes you. All 3 of my teammates have interrupts at different skill slots but the timings don't line up correctly with the turtle's spin.

In the settings, there's an option to log out. It's actually not logging out of your entire account but just your character. That brings you to the character select screen.

I found a good group to be in surprising and they've been carrying me. I do wish they walked you through it because it just throws you in and you need to press all the buttons to see what they do.

Your characters will auto-play using the skill rotation you manually configure for them (and later-on your pets get skills too). The fun is figuring out a) the order of your team's skills (e.g. coordinating interrupts so they don't overlap), b) choosing the right pets for the right situation, c) finding ways to cheese levels beyond your team's power level. Boss types switch every few stages (and also get stronger every stage), so you'll constantly be futzing around with better ways to configure your team. There are also consumables you can use to get past roadblock bosses, such as +10-15% attack or armor or life from food (for an hour) .

So, I just saw a non-video ad on youtube of all places for a game called Murderous Pursuits . I can't seem to link it, because I'm on my phone and there's no share option from Play store, plus it doesn't come up in searches, since it's apparently still in development. I'm installing it now, and from the description, it seems to be a newer version of The Ship and Bloody Good Time, which I absolutely loved.

If this game ends up being worth a drat, I'll be so happy :swoon:

Ahhh okay, that makes more sense. It sounded to me like people were implying there's a part of the game where you get to actively use your skills but I just unlocked my 3rd skill slot so I'm now noticing that it deploys your skills in order.
