Ran what I think is the first instanced dungeon just outside the first town. It matched me with 3 other people. I was really hoping it would be a nice experience like dungeons in WoW where it actually helps to talk, even say "hi", and the mobs take at least a little bit of attention to deal with. But no, as soon as it loaded one guy was already evading ahead into packs. Every monster died in 0.5 seconds and everyone burned mobility skills on cooldown to rush to the boss, which lasted maybe 10 seconds. Then it all ended abruptly. Whole thing took maybe 3-4 mins and it was even the "hard" mode. Honestly I couldn't even really see the other people's names or classes but that's partly because I'm still trying to focus on the hundred other little things going on. Is all group content going to be like that? Or will there be things that take longer and actually benefit from communication?

The east coast goon server ended up being wild. I have a nearly 10,000 person queue right now.

Evil_Greven posted:Dear Amazon, literally all of the US East servers are Busy or Full. Did you not count how many founders packs you had? I just remind myself that a lot of people will go where the big Twitch streamers are, and those people are all going to abandon this game next week for Horizon Forbidden West, and then the following week for Elden Ring. The servers will stabilize and balance out quickly.

I've been loving it so far. 10/10 would take a day off to play the game all day again. And I'm glad I picked Bard. She's great and I'm only about two minutes behind my Shadowhunter friend at any given time.

I said come in! posted:I just remind myself that a lot of people will go where the big Twitch streamers are, and those people are all going to abandon this game next week for Horizon Forbidden West, and then the following week for Elden Ring. The servers will stabilize and balance out quickly. What I mean is... this isn't even the launch. This is pre-launch. When launch happens, poo poo's getting worse with an influx of F2P. There have got to be more servers. The queue says if the server is full then you can't even make a character on that server. It's a 9k+ queue just to find out if it's full or not. This is disappointing so far. e: queue dropped a lot when the other server was announce, finally got in. Evil_Greven fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Feb 9, 2022 |

So if I want to play a big sword lady, I'm out of luck, right? Only men are allowed to have big swords?

You can sit around and wait for big spear lady later but no swords, just like guys cant cast spells

Anno posted:If you have Amazon Prime it looks like the first round of Prime Gaming knick knacks are available. Thanks for linking this, I would've forgotten otherwise. Finally got in on Una, set up my Warrior (soon to be Gunlancer). Customization options are much more robust than I expected, and I don't hate the story so far. Seems like a decent investment. How are the controller options for playing? I don't mind doing the usual keyboard smashing but I wonder the controller would feel a bit more intuitive.

Seems mostly good so far, if not better than m&k. Ground targeted abilities suck though. They do have autoaim but you don't always want it there!

Using the controller to move is so much better. It’s not perfect but the controller support is pretty good. This is going to be perfect on the steam deck especially because the deck has a built in mouse pad and the game pops up a decent on screen keyboard.

I've already tuned out the story so far... still, combat is fun and abilities feel good and impactful! Ladon didn't have queue times but guess that might change when I log back in later.

The combat is really fun but I'm kind of already fatigued of clicking through NPC dialogue to progress quests. I knew going in that this isn't A Diablo but I sorta wish it was and I could just go out and smash things.

2DCAT posted:Also interested in this. Having both carpal and cubital makes movement in these types of games painful and wondering of gamepad might be better. The movement is so much better with a controller. It’s gonna take some getting used to with the skills but it’s not too dissimilar to FFXIV where you hold RB+face key or LB+Face key. Also it’s pretty customizable from what I saw so you can make it work for you. Some of the UI has issues but it’s doable and overall isn’t too frustrating.

Nice!! Gonna order one and give it a try. Only played 2hr or so today and my hand is back to being an immobile hook due to having to click and steer with my house hand in triggering pose nonstop

Just popping back in for a sec to say Archer feels great. The charged shot is exactly how a linear archer AOE should feel and sticking someone with an explosive arrow then slowly walking away from the explosion is action movie poo poo. Ok back to lighting dudes up with arrows.

Started Soulfist, did prologue. Rolled Shadowhunter, and it feels a lot smoother. I might do this prologue a few times just to try some classes. e: In the test area, I didn't care for Deathblade. Did like Wardancer, Scrapper was ok. Like paladin, berserker is ok, didn't like gunlancer though. Not sure how representative these test areas are for actually doing skills though; Soulfist felt better in the prologue than the test area.

Ended up at level 34 after about 8 hours, but I also was doing some rapport, chain quests, etc instead of just tunneling the msq. Wardancer is pretty fun once you have enough aoe abilities to rotate between them all. I died once to a giant fire breathing demon-dragon because after each phase you are supposed to run to the next platform before he incinerates the area you were on with no real indication of what to do. And then again when I was supposed to be wearing an evil clown costume but took it off to kill something and it turns out all the clowns instakill you if they aggro you.
