the mobile launch lag is bringing in so many salty tears.

I mean, it was a nearly unplayable slideshow last night. If I wasn’t just starting on low level solo dungeon BS I would have been playing something else, because gently caress losing your poo poo to servers on fire.

Is this kind of lag pretty typical for peak times etc, or is it usually decent? I don’t particularly feel the urge to replay EvE fleet battles where you warp in, get a tackle, and then endlessly spin in frozen space for 15 minutes.

US east, I’ve never had lag issues even in large fights in zones where the player cap has been reached. I’d you have an older CPU you will chug, but not related to networking traffic.

Not the cpu; I built the computer last April and it runs everything else just fine. Last night was constant lag spikes, disconnects, server interruptions etc. Internet was working just dandy on my end, had no issues with other programs/games.

Very rarely I'll notice the servers poo poo the bed for like 10-30 minutes. If i'm lagging I check general or english chat and if everyone is bitching about rubberbanding I just log off. I've never noticed it happen for longer then that.

The recent server stuff definitely seems to be related to the mobile launch, whether it's just a lotta new players or some voodoo tech magic fuckup relating to cross-platform integration idk and idc

I'm mostly just noobing it up in yellow zones so no worries, but if I had valuable stuff on the line I'd be more wary

Oh it’s entirely possible that their recent mobile launch entirely hosed everything up - I just meant that in general, prior to this, lag has never really been an issue

chiming in to confirm the lag is just server issues due to mobile release -- enjoy killing people who are clearly DC'd <3

Played about 10 hours of this on PC about two years ago and I’m dipping my toes back in now that mobile is out. Is the OP still accurate that most of the activity happens around Martlock? I can set that as a travel goal as I relearn the systems and what I was doing.

Yep -- we are in the martlock area of the blackzone... main activity is 4 zones SE of martlock portal south in a map called Redtree Enclave (r3).

I have a couple of questions.

1) Where is the best place to find current meta builds for each weapon/weapon type?

2) What are these Corrupted Dungeons, and how do I participate?

1: Youtube

2: They're a big open grid-like dungeon with 3 minichests and a boss chest. You get corrupted xp when killing monsters or minibosses and eventually the final boss appears, kill him you get a chest.

You can get invaded, more likely the more enemies you can kill, and it drops a dude from some other CD into yours and you either destroy 3 of the crystals that appear throughout the dungeon, or fight the other guy and win. Yellow CDs you don't lose your gear, the higher 2 you do.

At the beginning of the CD theres also a shrine you can activate that will put you in the pool of invaders. Die while invading in yellow, it just kicks you back to your CD, if its red or black, you lose everything.

I don’t know if the meta has shifted, I haven’t played a bit, but I had really good luck maintaining ~70% win rate in CD with 1h curse. Stalker is more fun IMO, with slayer generally having more “meta” builds that are annoying to play against. Stalker was still anywhere from 500k->2m for a very fast run.

1h cursed staff, Hunter hood, merc jacket, guardian boots, Hunter hood, thereford cape, normal shield offhand. Use stew and poison potion for consumables, pref t8 (only bring a few poisons for each run). Running at 4.1 or 5.1 depending on your spec will get you to the IP cap of stalker really easily for cheap money, with the cape and the poisons being the most expensive part of the kit.

Don’t use the poisons until the enemy has used all their defensives and will eat a full damage curse E (usually the second one). Use the root W for spacing and getting curse stacks. Use your jacket/helmet cool down when the enemy wants to commit and be careful of purges. If you’re fighting an annoying kiting build try to bait them into traps by hanging out @ low HP and rooting them nearby.

I started playing this game yesterday and some t6.3 good master's mage sandals dropped. I am in bridgewatch and am not sure what to sell them for. There's a buy order at 165 and a bunch of sell orders up for ~199k. I checked an external market site but that wasn't clear either.

mostly asking because it's worth like 4x what I am wearing and I've only sold stuff there's tons of where it's easier to understand how the market works

might follow instructions in the op or wander into black zones to do solo dungeons on my own later today. not really sure which

I normally just take the lowest sell order and knock some silver off it so mine is at the top of the list.

Yeah the market tools are all easy to use to figure out decent selling prices - make sure you’re opening the market history tab and you can check pricing history as well as sales history and make your pricing decisions based on that.

I get into this game very sporadically and play for a couple of days every few months. I like the game and concept but I think that I would play it 100 times more if it was in 3rd person with WASD controls.

It was developed as a MOBA style game when it came out so its MOBA centric... league of legends meets UO.

Yes, I did. It was fun and I enjoyed it. I don't think that I am qualified to run them with the meta builds or whatever because I spent a lot of skill points in different places without focusing. I was told that permafrost is really good and my skill for that was low. I focused a lot on dagger + leather vest/shoes + cloth hat.

What is up with the goon guilds for this game? I've tried to get into the newbie one but it is seemingly just one gigantic alliance with 100 guilds in it.

E. By that I mean the discord is just a landing spot, doesn't seem to actually be a way to get into the group in a direct way

join awful company 42069 (or any guild in ARCH) -- join discord, chill and kill.

There has never been enough goon interest in Albion to have ONLY goons in the guild though but its still pretty chill (competitive but casual and newb friendly).

Ah, alright, I'll probably find something else then. From what I've seen and heard in the discord ARCH is just an advertising server that guilds pay to join? Thats not really my idea of a playing group.

ARCH is more of an upper layer of network above guild that acts as like commercial real estate in that a dude in your guild kicks up enough and vouches for the rest of y'all so you get to have access to the player built amenities and infrastructure. That's how I finally came to understand it in my last go around.

I mean looking through the discord history there are several cases of people of people discussing entry fees, maybe that's just a prank, idk. At any rate a guild that is 75% of the game's population isn't really ideal anyways.

Are you a pubbie looking to make a guild and join ARCH with said guild? If not -- then why would you have to pay anything?

p.s.

also keep in mind other alliances have far stricter entry fee/requirements making ARCH look like a bunch of unorganized retards (we are).
