The glaives the assassin class has seem pretty large in the previews. Turn into a giant purple demon too which makes the weapons even larger.

I'm confused, would you rather a lot more of the XP needed to level be tied up in grinding mobs?

Yea I think a little? But maybe it isnt that type of game. I feel compelled to explore but also ignore every enemy

The combat is fun enough that I wish more of the leveling was about fighting massive hordes of mobs instead of acting as a message boy for two people standing ten feet apart from each other. But you do get to adventure in many awesome locales and the dungeon setpieces are super cool, I'm assuming there will be enough mob grinding in the endgame to satisfy my bloodlust many times over.

Two questions:

If I hit 50 early in steampunk robot land because I loving love side quests should I immediately sail to North Vern to do the important unlock quests or is that impossible for some reason?

Once you unlock the powerpasses, can you use them on another server?

Scrapper is Vi but with stupid heels on. Just ridiculously huge gauntlets to punch people with.

I'm torn between that and sorc. Sorc is more aesthetically pleasing and when lighting bolt hits, it hits hard, but scrapper isnt made of tissue paper.

Greetings, heroes! We have an update to share on what happens to character names after a character is deleted.

When a character that is Level 10 or lower is deleted, that character’s name will be available for reuse right away. If a character is Level or 11 or higher, when they are deleted their name will be recycled for reuse after a 60 day period passes.

We hope this makes things a bit easier when it comes to naming your character in Arkesia!

That's why people in this thread and elsewhere have been trying to warn for a long time, that even though it uses an isometric view, this is not an arpg.

edit: It's even stated there in the op. It should probably be put as a disclaimer in all caps and sirens.
My bad, I came into this thread blind only having heard about the game a few days ago. Makes sense and I don't know why my chimp brain always reads Action RPG as "diablo-like"!

I take a bit of issue with the title because chaos dungeons are 100% an ARPG.

And then guardian raids are isometric monster hunter

and then abyss dungeons are mmo raid mechanics and dps checks

Man, I thought the end-game stuff would open up when I hit 50 but apparently it's also tied to the main quest? These sidequests have screwed me again.

Just finish off robot land. It's probably not that much left and Vern is next anyways.

quote:

Players have let us know one of the reasons they are reluctant to switch to lower population servers is because many of them have already redeemed their Founder’s Packs on another server. To help combat this and make exploring new servers a more reasonable choice, we will be granting ALL Founder’s Pack purchasers that redeem their pack by 12 PM PT (8 PM UTC) on Monday, February 14th an extra set of the exclusive items from the Founder’s Pack they redeemed (e.g., the Founder’s Exclusive Pet and Founder’s Title from the Bronze pack; see full list below) as well as some additional Royal Crystals for Silver, Gold, and Platinum Pack purchasers.

These items will not be tradeable, and will be delivered to a player’s Product Inventory so they can be claimed on a new server. Your original Founder’s Pack will not be affected by this, and will remain on the initial server where you redeemed it (or in your Product Inventory, if you have not yet redeemed it). We are currently working to get these item grants ready to go, and will update players when they are ready to claim — these will be claimable on any new server you choose, so in the meantime we encourage you to find a perfect server to call home.

You get your own private island and a boat you use to sail to the different continents around 30-40, before you get to the actual endgame.

Adding on to this this gives you enough blue currency for 6 months of aura which currently costs about $9 a month if you just buy crystals for it.

It almost seems as if the aura isn't worth it until you hit 50. I'll probably buy it and not activate before then because, well, most of those bennies are there for endgame, I think.

I am a little bitter actually; Paladin was my favorite Warrior Advanced Class because it flowed so well, but then I check and you are basically pigeonholed into support.

I'm more miffed that support means only pressing one button or two every few mins and just playing as a normal dps the rest of the time.

I still can't quite express how BM I am over the fact that there's no option for a lady Artillerist.

Or that they launched without Summoner. Or Arcana. Or some of those sick new datamined ones coming up (give me alchemist).

I've played it for hours and I still just don't know if it's clicking. It does a lot of things that annoy me, but I can definitely see how the gameplay could be compelling at high level if it bothers to challenge you.

Boy howdy turning the first ten levels into a .mov file is a bit awkward, though. :v:
