I think my first three classes are going to be Paladin, Soulfist, and Scrapper. Gunlancer's up there, too.

FFXIV has tainted me, how's the game's story and lore?

The story presentation is leagues worse but its not that the actual story is insultingly bad and contradicting itself like in other MMOs.

So what's the trick to making sure Steam starts unlocking a game quickly? Can't think of any time I've been sitting waiting for it to unlock.

How friendly is this game if I want to play 5 hours/week? Am I going to never progress? Will I ever be viable in pvp matches?

I think PvP is fully equalized so you don't have to worry about level, gear, or skill points to compete in PvP. Everyone's on the same footing there.

seems a lot of spanish streamers are going Regulus?

I have no idea. I was only responding to the Asmongold aspect since it was mentioned earlier.

I said come in! posted:

And it's not so much too that his community is toxic, but more so that his community is so gigantic that when he picks a server to play on, its overcrowded and has long queues. So its best to avoid those servers.

I totally get why we would want to avoid a community of that size. I just found it a little amusing that there was a swerve to avoid an accident that didn't actually happen.

Coincidentally, I have other friends that are rolling on Regulus so I guess I'll make characters there and Una and see how it plays out long term. Either way it's always fun to partake on MMO launch day!

Thanks for the love all. <3

But more importantly, yeah if you’re unsure of who you will play with or want to make new friends, head to Una. I know with the multiple discords, I feel most agreed to stick to Una now so we all have that same stomping grounds to play on in case friends quit the game or leave early. Let’s face it, a lot of folks will drop off.

And join the discords. Post here. One of the best parts of these games are if you stick around, you find a party of goons and people you like playing with in this and other games. I don’t know but that poo poo mattered to me when I was super active in gaming and here.

Oh!!! One last thing: we got a lot of folks who are idling these streams for the free drops. Do that if you care. Just sit idling and every 4 hours, claim a reward. They’re doing these for the next month.

Cheers and see ya all in game I can’t ruin this one because it’s already been out for 3 years+ YIPPEE(tape)!!

If you hit download once it keeps automatically trying every 30s or so.

I skimmed some streamers. Limit/Maximum didn't notice any trouble and got in with some of his team, they are speed leveling and skipping cutscenes as we speak. Cohh and Asmon meanwhile are sitting at the connection time out too. Anniefuchsia just got into char creation.

I mean it seems like it's literally just steam servers getting blown up.
