I only just got home from work. I didn't get a founder's pack, so no early access.

Engravings kinda remind me of the way Monster Hunter armor skills used to work pre-World, where your equipment can give you a certain number of points towards a skill, and you need a certain number of points to "activate" the skill (and more points can activate higher ranks of the skill).

Though it looks like it also has that classic KMMO thing where you're going to sink a bunch of resources into upgrading a thing with failure chances that make you waste resources and bad rolls can ruin expensive pieces of equipment.

yea it reminds me so much of an old korean mmo mechanic in air rivals where you had chances to fail while upgrading weapons. I wasted a lot of money shitfaced on that game

The servers aren't open so no one can play. But yeah, when they open again the game should launch with free accounts.

Apparently people said if you're on west you can play with other west people but can't be in the same guild? Which kinda sucks because I have some friend groups that don't voice at all just chat in game. I'm laughing at myself big time for trying to get in early on a popular server so I don't get the crappy empty new world experience I just had and by doing that screwed myself even more :laugh: I deserve this

I bet they did this to get more twitter followers.. 130k yesterday, 245k today

Weeeird. Anyone know if a friend in Europe creates a character on the Euro server and I and another friend pick US East if we can still play together? Or is it even so bad as like US East 1 can't play with US East 5?

You can play together within a region (Europe, NA East, NA West, South America) but not between regions.

Ugh their name rules are the worst.
1) unique to characters and I think its across the whole region not just the server.
2) one word, 16(?) characters, no spaces, no capitalizations, nothing fancy

The one thing you can do is add accents to letters, so you can use this thing instead of a regular i. It sucks if someone has to type out your name but as far as I can tell that's entirely unnecessary beyond friend/guild invites.

This is a practice I stole from WoW, which has similarly terrible name restrictions.

Other than the deadeye (which I'm maining) and its female version, are there any classes whose signature mechanics don't have you charging up a bar?


I didn't see anyone respond to this question, but Soulfist is one. Their signature mechanic starts off with 3 full levels. You activate it and at level 1 the meter drains slowly and while it's draining you get a small flat bonus to attack speed/damage and energy recharge (the resource your skills use), then if you activate it again before it drains down all the way you go to level 2 of the ability that gives medium bonuses to the same stats and energy recharge, then you can activate it a third time to get large bonuses. The higher levels drain the meter faster though and it takes longer for the meter to recharge the higher level you were on when the meter runs out.

This was a common enough complaint that they announced they'd be giving everyone a second copy of their founder's-pack stuff to redeem on a second server.

I mean there were enough servers for everyone to play without queues but as every MMO launch ever shows there's nothing you can do to stop people from piling onto a few servers until the queues are several hours long because they're scared of being stuck on a dead server.

And it's way worse in this case since apparently moving character rosters between servers is a colossal pain in the rear end on the back end and Smilegate almost never did it.

for gunlancer is it better to go for "red" or "blue"? I'm not sure if there's a huge difference between the two, really, this game confuses me.

Red (Solo Knight) and blue (Combat Readiness) are the two Gunlancer class engravings. Blue is the face tank spec and uses mostly shield skills, red has more burst and uses mostly gunlance skills. Pick whichever you like the best, they're both good.

The higher levels drain the meter faster though and it takes longer for the meter to recharge the higher level you were on when the meter runs out.

I started off playing a Soulfist the other day and while I love their Supersaiyan resource/skill in theory, I hate the way it plays out in-game where it just ends up being a not-100%-uptime damage buff - so you just have periods of doing less damage and periods of doing more. There's nothing wrong with it exactly but it didn't feel like 'going supersaiyan' for tough fights, it was just a buff I pressed on cooldown then forgot about.

I like the Paladin's version more where you charge up the resource and then choose either a strong temporary buff for yourself or a weak temporary buff for your entire party, but in practice that probably just works out to pressing the party buff every time and then it's not much different from the Soulfist's :|

One of the classes I trialed (One of the warriors?) has two different bars and spending one raises the other one, so you see-saw between them that seemed like it was probably more involved than Paladin/Soulfist.

Seriously, do drugs
Sorceress can also build into ignoring their class gauge and only using it for mobility instead of charging it up for a big damage burst window. You basically ignore it while leveling anyway, only toggling it on to one-shot bosses because the damage output is great anyway.
