I just noticed that Medics get an ability called Extricate which is basically lifegrip.

That should be an entertaining reason to play Medic because if you're pro enough you can make bad DPS look worse by rescuing them out of telegraphs.

I'm either a friend or a foe. Depends on who's looking.
Do you guys think it would be a smart idea to go with Armorer for one of my tradeskills while levelling up if I'm going to be a Warrior? I didn't get very high in the beta so I'm not really sure how useful the "gear" tradeskills are overall, especially at endgame (or "elder game" or whatever they're calling it).

Yeah, I think it's gonna be one big merger, we're just (calmly) discussing guild name choices in the primary thread.

Maybe we can update the OP to let people know that there will be an Exile guild on the PvE-RP server, Evindra? That might help clear up some confusion...or add to it, who the gently caress knows?

Bullet points for Exile US-PVE:

    1. Most goons were fine with PVE-RP so were going to use whatever that server's name is. Current understanding is EVINDRA.

    2. We're not sure what it will be named, we are calmly discussing that in the thread on wsgoons.

    3. We are trying to convince Maxmaps to guild lead because he's really good at it. If he won't do it, gently caress it I will. And he'll probably help either way.

This is the real reason to roll medic.

Word is that all of the tradeskills will be useful to all of the classes, and I've heard a few anecdotal positive things about crafted gear (only did Architect myself, though). You can switch tradeskills for a minimal cost/cooldown without losing your progress, though.

The devs already have a clip of a medic saving a raid member with this. It's one of the skills that might rarely come in useful, but when it does you feel like a million bucks.

Each tradeskill also makes stuff that is useful to just about everyone. I don't think it's useful enough to, say, roll Outfitter as a Warrior, but it does mean that each tradeskill has something for everyone. Armorers make shields, Outfitters make support systems, Tailors make bags, Technologists make gadgets, and Weaponsmiths make weapon attachments. It looks like Architects don't make any gear at all, and I dunno if anyone crafts implants.

I didn't realize you weren't locked into just two. Suppose that means I'm going to be spending a significantly large amount of time crafting.

If you're authed on the off-site forum that actually has moderators, I made a more in-depth explanation on how tradeskills are dependent on one another. It won't tell you the magic answers or anything like that, but it lists everything that is self-sufficient and why self-sufficient isn't good enough.

Apparently. Cougar has last say and he's said they're not revealing it until 24-72 hours beforehand.

It makes sense. They probably want to see how many preorders come in, then have the finance guys plug that into Excel and figure out how many servers they'll need.

They're probably also trying to avoid what's happened in other games where 80% of people try to cram onto a single server.

I'm trying to get a couple of different groups onto the same server and all it's doing is causing confusion.

If there's a Pergo in the final server list, literally everyone is gonna be on it, just because it's the only PvP server name that's known right now.

Judging by what they said about probably removing Widow (oceanic PvP) due to low pop, Pergo is likely to be the only PvP server.

If they stick to what they had in the betas, there'll probably be one PvP realm, one RP-PvE realm and 5-10 PvE realms for the NA servers (one of the PvE realms will be designated as Oceanic). I don't have a Euro code so I don't know exactly how the servers are set up but I think some guys here said there's separation based on languages and the Carbine guys said the names of the Euro servers didn't need to be changed because they're not named after the continents or Nexus.

That was the one they showed on the recent stream, wasn't it? Curious what other applications there are for it. Sort of like the Mesmer portals that were abused to get people through jumping puzzles in GW2.

Stalkers have a skill that blinks to enemies. You can enter a /duel inside a party, I haven't tried in an instance, but theoretically you could move stalkers 50m nearly instantly so long as there's a place for them to stand halfway across.

I'm sure you could do some more cool stuff with the Explorer's Translocate Beacon.

My personal favorite, however, is to use Restrictor backwards off a cliff, Extricate an ally, then use Urgency to blink back onto the cliff to troll your team-mates.
