If you guys want another lemonparty with apples (2x the size) I still have quite a bit on an alt if I can recall the log-in. If you manage to get the server population back up high enough, it would be good to repeat so just let me know. Below is original wall of text for new players for lemon parties (gives the videos from Grithok some context) original post http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3542608&pagenumber=93&perpage=40#post415927487 whoopy posted:Cross post from griefing thread: funakupo fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Apr 30, 2014 |

There are 92 people playing through Steam; that is some terrible numbers. There are more Steam users playing Ragnarok Online than AoW. They really couldn't have hosed that Steam launch up further could they..

Well Orv I think is trying to create a "frenemies" situation with another group it seems per the thread-read, because the streamer alpha groupies already want to be BFF forever with no wars (seriously why do people want sandbox games with no or minor death penalties to be peaceful). So there is someone singularly trying to be reasonable but this guy yeah... I don't recall most of the ones who responded about it ever actually being around for anything eventful for AoW politics/guild outlook over the past year of launch (and heck even in beta?) If Grithok can't recall him then I have no loving idea who he is. Usual goon poo poo, different mmo I guess? I thought everything that happened in AoW was fun, even the KoS part was still easy as a leveling newbie (I went through that) because death is a joke.

GreatestNerdEver posted:Vendors will sell them, yes, but crappy starter ones. They can go up to class 5 jade just like other crafted stuff. So I need to wander to each school on koop and buy every weapon recipe we don't have yet basically on launch day right? If the T2 recipe go into the weekly rotation we could try ranking for a couple of weeks in hopes of gaining new fancy (I might have enough brass ingots plus other mats still to deep-spam truesilver for easy ranking...maybe). Are there other professions getting new crafting stuff via new schools release?

I'll try to log in tonight and see what I can buy from vendors. Aside from Golden Needle/Beast Villa which already have established places, where the hell are the other groups located?

Good news is 'Eagle Stronghold' and 'other mistakes' still prevail. Bad news is I found zero recipe. I am not betraying, so I will leave that to others to advise if they find vendors they can purchase from. But I wandered every city and checked chef, music, blacksmith and nothing new fancy showed. Tip: When you come in, go to the bank to the event ambassador and pick up whatever quests there. Turning in one right away nets a bag full of stuff including big bags and boxes for those returning, 5 of 40% cult speed increase pills and some decent food with hour buff and 30 hunger (so you can even gain well fed trait). And then head to Luoyang and look at the loving pretty yellow trees in the evening light. One final piece for now is Great East was in beggar chat looking for apprentices, so there clearly must be some edge he wants to exacerbate to win Wushu and has returned for it.

Wait let me see if I understood this: I cannot just renew VIP and kidnap to slowly get unbound but I need to do it at some crazy USA hour? I cannot run daily faction quest to get unbound unless I happen to be awake and online at 5am Central European Time (hahah what)? Am I missing something here about why they would bother to have servers even up during off-USA hours?

True Haq, which might be excellent. Except I was concerned more about static upgrade costs on gear 10/20/40L a pop thing. Or say the cost to buy the reagent to use your gold or jade powder is like 150 unbound right?KittyEmpress posted:I mean no offense but snail is supposed to be running this game for US areas only, with other publishers handling other areas of the world. It does at least mean I have no reason to log on until like 8pm each day. You understand even in the USA people have different shifts for their work right? The decision does not cater to their USA market either if you push set hours for any unbound to be gathered.

It might be one of those that drops in every school instance--if I recall from beggar SI runs it was lofty or tall that we got frequently.

Hoarding is right though. I am amazed that we hoarded vinegars for a whole loving year and in the few days this expansion has been up we've burned thru most of them for quests. So hoarding is good. As always if you are running instances or whatever and get weird cooking or blacksmith mats send to koop. We hoard that stuff and actually use it within guild.

Saradiart posted:koop, I heard that you got a Palace of the Moving Flowers invite thing. Could you send a PM to Chartreuse sometime? If it's not terribly expensive, I might want to buy! Is that what that RE is now or did I get something else? I got the suicidal girl in Suzhou RE yesterday and logged out when I couldn't make it up the drat mountain behind Peach Blossom Pool to her after confirming her monkey is in fact super dead. I have no problems with goon price to you for said invite, because I don't want to leave beggars. Just holler next time you see koop online when you are and we'll make the trade. That RE was probably the weirdest cut scene yet for me in AoW. If you have ever seen the alternate ending for Coup de Torchon, we are talking that level of weird--even down to being a grainy black and white "dream" sequence of her dancing with her monkey.

Haroshia posted:The new set sounds amazing but Jesus wept I really don't want to get another weapon and grind weapon manuals to jiggle my hobo booty like a smelly pirate hooker. Basically this exactly. I still love Victorious (because I am a terrible player with bad ping and that set worked great for me) and I cannot even manage to get more skill levels and a nice staff for that loving set. Akeenai I think uses Mozi on koop and I haven't time to level it yet either--another set would just rot away. 5USD I would throw at it but 30USD (I assume) is a bit pricey to sit and rot. If Snail wants to throw new sets around like candy, they should consider a knee-jerk buy price and then every player buys sets all the time.

Snail would still need to reduce some of the static game prices like stall of 200L, upgrade powder of 150L, etc.

So if they introduce another kidnap timeslot (what is the proposed time for it?), would someone crash course me on best kidnapping for it? Best as in decent unbound for time invested; no poopsocking/cheeving crap to get max benefits... Do I just grab 1 guy during kidnap hour and have the normal cooldown? or I assume something with the shady kidnapper in large cities happens and do that one?

madmario posted:It could be in the design philosophy to induce people to buy things--monkeying with their perceptions. Throw out a large number, $600 (or $12,000). Now that $30 doesn't seem so large--but if you started with $5, that $30 seems like a lot. Folks do that in mediation for settlements all the time. I remember reading science on it and that this strategy measurably affects even the perceptions of otherwise really savvy people who are aware of the effect. No, it is literally they intentionally cater for the 600 crowd. They even had the interview with Chinese CEO/CFO on the aow forums for a while about the expansions and code work for Chinese version--and one of the questions was about the continuous large ticket items pricing, in which he smugly answered that was the clientel they were developing and delivering towards. This game is entirely designed to deliver a service to a small segment. The remaining population are there to also assist with delivering said service to that segment: cannon fodder, parade gawkers, etc.

When one uses a wine though the guy gives the option of changing to Yin or Soft, so it can look like you could burn multiple wines to achieve total match. But, it is only one. Re swords game: are NA and EU combined or not? Are there scheduled events? I got a code, in german of course, so will give the short CBT a whirl.

Apparently caps in names in same thing as Wushu, you can have character named Koop and koop. Also the female voice is truly annoying. I really tried to make an old woman, but sadly the closest it allows is some laugh lines (unless I really overlooked something). However I see some male player characters with full white hair and wrinkles! Most female characters I saw in the 10 minutes played thus far have their eyes set at THE BIGGEST size ever. The default size is already retarded enough, had to scale that back. Some things never change in Jianghu.

After speaking with Amazon they said the issue is with the seller; not my end nor Amazon. I guess, like Paypal, Amazon is having trouble with Snail and probably will drop them soon.

Credit actually goes to Whoopy for the whole lemon party thing. He was the one that ascertained planting rather than harvesting rated towards your farmer rank, which resulted in he and I covering the entire Yanjing fields in an hour with crops... and then the servers died from the load. We knew then what we had to do of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1LUIRRJocI
