Whilst the server issues are ongoing the whining in the official forums is rather an entertaining read. Have these people never been in an MMO launch before?

You can pick as you want - you can do point & click or Neverwintery-action controls and change whenever you like.

Anyone seem to have an issue where when launching SM from Arc, the patcher gets stuck at connecting to server? Seems pretty random, but annoying.

Not had any connection issues here from the UK yet, just the odd ctd with lots of angry chinese report windows popping up.

I shudder to think what some 'serious' guilds are doing with it all.

I turned on salary for officers.

You steal the guilds unbound and turn it into your bound money.

You also get even more experience now if you are an officer.

Go visit the Financial Manager.

Do we need the guild funds for upgrades or is it purely there for embezzlement?

Also as a Brit I'd prefer the events at weekends and I imagine Euros further east would be the same rather than having stuff during the work week we have to sit up in the early hours for. It is a US server though so that's more our problem so gently caress us if you yanks prefer to spread it through the week.

Rate your officers, it affects their pay.

Speaking of which now I actually have powers what is the current policy on applicants? Are we still taking pretty much anyone who applies with no referral as White Tigers or being a bit more selective right now? We've got 8 at the moment none of whom have a referral or post in this thread, although one has the bio 'hitler did nothing wrong' and one is from that guild we slaughtered last night.

\/ Got 9 spots free so unless I see them get a referral or post in here I'll reject them later today.

We own salt harbor. Our guild HQ is there.

You still enter the HQ the same way via cities.

We will have repeatable quests for unbound some time in the future.

EDIT: chat log, oh boy

Bonus quests are now available, allowed to two a day for ~12 unbound silver a pop. Also lets you complete the Bandit Camp quests from the finance manager though for guild scrolls/hooks/fish tickets.

How good is crafted stuff? Haven't tried crafting anything yet because I thought it sucked.

I just knocked this out earlier today and bumped it up to +3:



Get a decent roll on the random green stats and it's not bad gear. Important to note that '#0 level' crafted gear is actually #8, so level 40 gear crafts as 48, 50 as 58 and so on. Weapons I think are #2? Amulets and poo poo at #5.

Potions and food though are completely worth it as you'll get plenty of materials for them and you need to craft that at higher levels rather than relying on potion/food drops.

HyC did pretty well considering how rusty he was and how little practice he had with that combo he was using.

Patch notes for later today:

quote:

NEW CONTENT

Players will be able to enter the Demon Pit. Brave the depths of this 9 floor catacomb to claim powerful equipment and precious gems, but beware its master, the Crystal Empress, who leads a ghostly host against all who would plunder her domain. Entrances will appear in various Dungeon Depths at 15:10, 17:10, 19:10, 21:10, and 23:10 every day.

IMPROVEMENTS**

Captchas are now required to enter the Mirage Cavern and Vermin Lair event instances.
All drops from the Mirage Cavern and Vermin Lair event instances are now bound, except for Ancient Coins.

BUG FIXES

Translated text that appears in Bandit Camp Hijack missions.
Translated text that appears in various Bounty Board missions.
Added description text to various Marketplace items.


**These efforts and improvements are being made to curb both the practice of and rewards from botting. We'll continue to combat it and make sure that you will always have a fair and enjoyable experience while playing Swordsman.

Yay, captchas.

Launch day madness.

So, who's rerolling to get in on the launch day contest? Lib?

quote:

We’re giving new warriors a fresh start with our live launch. Starting tomorrow, 7/29/14, at 2 P.M. PDT (Pacific), we’re going to begin a brand-new leveling contest to see which Swordsman warrior is the most motivated and dedicated to martial arts. For two weeks until August 12, 2014 at 2 P.M. PDT (Pacific), players will have a chance to race to the top by creating a new character and leveling him or her as quickly as possible by our deadline in a race to the top! Experience boosters are allowed during this contest, if you wish to use them.
