Finally sitting down to try this and all the servers have 10000+ queue's what is this bullshit. :argh: Would the cheapest starter pack give me priority or something or should I not bother?
I'm guessing you're EU? They already doubled the number of servers from early access so hopefully they add even more soon.

Sharpshooter is good. I’m up to about ilvl500 with mine and I’ve got a couple AOEs that will one shot trash mobs and good single target damage and mobility. It also just feels good. And my lvl50 head armor is cool guy shades

Would recommend

I do like cool guy shades

I’ll give it a shot, then. Thanks!

Agreed. And the stronghold has me surprised too. I was completely not expecting a full island.

They hosed up some EU servers by temporarily opening the early access ones so everyone flooded to those instead of using the new ones.

I dont know if thats happen in the US yet but I hope they dont make that mistake.

I thought it was intentional that they opened up all servers? Didn’t they explicitly say they were doing that somewhere?

I know it was a free for all on us east for a while yesterday at least

Feeling some whiplash on their decision making. And their notifying of things happening could use some improvement

So the class bonus engraving says "not acquired" when I try to equip it and also 3/20. Do I assume this means I have to get to 20/20 for it to be considered acquired?

Yes. Go back to the purple quest line from Thenian kingman if you want to get the other 17 early free books you missed

After you get your 2nd Ark, it seems like you go quite awhile before you obtain your 3rd. When does it happen? You're suppose to collect 7 of them. Just going through the motions of completing the World quests.

Third island doesn’t have the third ark. It’s on the fourth I think. I think you can’t get the 5th until you break the ilvl460 barrier?

Are shop costumes transferable between characters if they're the same class? Might stick to male gunners if that's the case.

Depending on cosmetic, it's same class or same base class.

Yeah, I selected a server I thought was it last night, but apparently not? And it appears smilegate never did server transfers as a feature, which means the grind out to 29 so far is.. eh right now.

i'm on valtan because i didn't know mari was the goon server. you can still do dungeons and raids and stuff with goons but you miss out on stuff like strongholds and some lesser content. not the end of the world. might not be a bad idea to make some smaller goon guilds on other servers anyway tbh, i dont think mari will open up for a LONG time.

edit: nevermind i can make poo poo on mari

I’m guessing that technically less populated servers are better from the point of less competition for shared resources?

Doesn't matter because every zone has a population limit and then creates a new channel. Which makes me wonder why there is a need for a queue or multiple servers period.

haven't had any issues with queuing on una within eu hours. meanwhile i saw a european streamer be in line 8000 on eu servers

depends on whether you play at regional peak hours

i don't know if popular servers make a huge difference within the same region, and i imagine the devs came to a similar conclusion by allowing registrations on popular servers

this game is 3-4 years old, I'm wondering if it actually has a coherent story behind the awful translation and "we grabbed cool poo poo from lots of nerd places" class design

like do they have some kind of running narrative for updates? or do they just slap viva pinatas on the store and add another endless dungeon texture pack?

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

For anyone already at 50 — are there folks in the matchmaking queue for chaos dungeons? Like, I know that’s the easy soloable content, but even the leveling dungeons have been more fun in a group.

It's fine. Bard is fairly boring to level because she effectively casts AoEs that tick things to death. Which is a bit different from something like berserker that one shots everything while moving ahead at full speed or most of the other dps classes. Lots of the msq time is running around and pressing g though, so it's not as big of a deal. Especially if you haven't done it before -- the time difference is neligible for people who aren't speed running but the fun level might be higher on other classes.

For a first character, I'd recommend a dps and then once you unlock the vern passes boost up a bard if you want one and switch to it as a main. But, it's up to you. Playing support solo isn't miserable in this game it's just a bit slower (minute(s) in chaos dungeons, an hour or two for the msq).
