Fenrisulfr posted:Howdy, I just picked this up and have been playing for a few hours. I'm trying a leeching AR/Blood build, which has been okay so far, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if I should be having as much trouble as I am. I've done about 2 dozen missions, filled out one of the AR tracks and about 2/3 of the other, with a few points in the Blood tracks and I've got both my weapons and Major and Minor talisman skills to 2, Head is still at 1. My gear is all QL1 stuff from mob drops and quests, maybe a QL2 talisman or two, I don't remember. Nothing outstanding anyway. This is not a game where you can take on multiple enemies (unless they are a swarm type, in which case you can) Fighting a single dot enemy should be a solid fight, fighting two should be a near death experience. Watch your aggro or you'll spend a lot of time in the dirt. Also unless you actually have some healing talismans, your healing may as well be nonexistent.

Fenrisulfr posted:Thanks for the advice everyone. Like I said I'm not really a big MMO player, so I wasn't sure if my experience so far meant I sucked or not (I do, but at least part of it is the difficulty of the game). Since I've picked up Slow the Advance and Three Round Burst things have been better, and now I know that when I see a large group of guys all packed together, it doesn't mean the game expects me to be able to handle them all, it means the designers were assholes. Are you running in circles strafing around the enemy and avoiding standing in the poo poo? Because you should be.

GEMorris posted:Why are you guys trying to form a new illuminati cabal again? Killsion, and myself, are regularly on, and lawli is occasionally around. What's the actual problem? I guess since we have like 500+ members, 490 of which don't play anymore, it'd simplify things. I'm indifferent about it honestly.

Bloody Pancreas posted:Welp now I've descended into madness. Looking at the available deck combinations is pretty overwhelming, but I have to say that the biggest draw for me would be outfits. Is it worth focusing on deck builds that yield cool outfits or is it better to just play freeform? As much as I'd like to make my own custom deck, the thought of having a cool build that leaves me with an outfit that makes me look like a street thug leaves a bad taste in my mouth... The deck outfits are purely cosmetic, you don't have to wear them, but they are faction specific. Also the actual deck builds aren't good, so don't start filling them out unless you really want the outfit, and even then, don't do it until you already have a solid build, which plenty of people in this thread can help steer you in the right direction. The correct answer anyway though is Illuminati because Kirsten Geary. Nothing beats Geary.

Ibram Gaunt posted:You know, if you told me ahead of time that the Illuminati had a meme spouting quest giver, I'd probably roll my eyes but the fact that he delivers every line completely monotone somehow makes it amusing rather than annoying. The voice actor was completely unaware of all the memes he spouts as well so it really helped with the monotone delivery.

VisAbsoluta posted:From what I've been reading here, I wish that almost every build ever basically didn't suck, but this is every MMORPG I guess? Most are fine for story progression purposes etc, but once you get to endgame you are pretty much forced into something cookie-cutter.

guppy posted:Supposedly you can't get the achievement in a group because ??? One of the devs outright said you can not get it with a group, so I wouldn't even bother. Either way, achievement is easy. Difficulty is getting him to spawn. First run the door was locked. Second run I deliberately went for the cheevo and door was open. Ran in, killed him, picked up the quest, turned it in etc. The Covert Cryptographer though, gently caress that one. You can't even explore because it'll auto push you and progress if you get too close to an area.

Len posted:The event is up. It sounds neat but I expect to be disappointed. Both bosses are probably reskins of regular bosses we've killed a few hundred times. Probably but I'm at least interested. Also there are apparently Enruned versions of the old End of Days pets, I don't know what they are, but I want them now. Also I only have 22 pets. This is disappointing. I'm down for running this stuff later tonight.

Well the whole gist of Moiren's argument to my understanding was that Unfair stopped playing the game and stopped updating the site with no indication of giving the site to someone else, or anything like that. Moiren interpreted it as him just using it for money, so she went with the copyright claims etc because she disliked him profiting from her voice if he didn't even play anymore. If the site is indeed transferring ownership as that seems to indicate, then this may actually be calming down.

Going through sidestories so I can get my forged seal to do Tokyo. Also I had 6k bonus points or so, so I bought the CE DLC of course. Unfortunately they finally "fixed" the clothing glitch that allowed you to wear certain pants with the dresses, so I can't use my Dark Symmetry shorts with black stockings with any of the dresses anymore. Gives me a reason to wear my new school girl outfit though.

guppy posted:I ran a dungeon in the first time in forever a few weeks ago and I was boiled dogshit performance-wise (and I used to be at least decent, far better than the average pubbie at the time). Pubbies who have kept up with builds will probably be much better than goons at this point. Coming from FF14 TSW still runs like poo poo while looking far worse.

This aegis system is really screwing with my mojo. Maybe'e I'd adapt to this better if I had kept playing but I'm so lost now with builds I just don't know anything about. I've got like 760 bullion too. I don't even know how I got that much. EDIT: People are reporting that the NY raid Whisper is hitting for piss. I'd be down for an easy raid.

So I finished Tokyo, and got an AEGIS to 100%. Then I realized that to upgrade the QL of an AEGIS... you spend Sequins of Sunrise, obtained from running Tokyo mission. So much for getting the kimono and hakama... Gotta admit though, as defeating as Tokyo is, I really would like to run some NMs and stuff again with you all.

Rincewind posted:Are there any new clothes with issue 9 (as rewards or purchases or whatever) besides the school uniform? Tokyo merchants sell different colored kimonos and hakamas, but they cost sequins, which are better spent upgrading your AEGIS. Completing the first mission in 4:30 seems to award something, what I don't know. Also completing it in 4:30 seems utterly impossible. I can barely do it in 10. Also as always, complete the issue, get an ugly t-shirt.
