effectual posted:What should I do at level 20 if I have 20g? Unfortunately questing is one of the fastest ways to level and you even make some gold doing it. Make sure you Overachieve on every quest you can, you can get to level 50 while still doing the mid-late 30s quests. The very fastest way to level costs money. Wait until you have max labor, pop a vocation tonic, buy some moonlight archeum dust, a bunch of wedges, evenstones, and iron, cloth or leather. Craft a bunch of iron, leather or cloth sleeves. Break them down to the the archaeum back. Craft them again. Repeat until you run out of labor or lose your mind. It works, but then you'll be a penniless level 50 wearing level 20 gear, so it's not perfect.

hyung posted:Just got into this game. Seems to me like healer classes are pretty worthless and that I should just roll an archer like everyone else? Healers are critical in certain situations. Healers are hard to level up, and basically useless in solo PVE. Healers are bad at healing unless they have a healing weapon, and if they have a healing weapon the suck at everything except healing. It is more of a nuisance than being archer #346. So you want to be a healer:
2. Pick a support class that works well with your DPS class as your second tree. Defence, witchcraft, auramancy, etc, whatever floats your boat. 3. Pick Vitalism as your third class. Vitalism is the most important class for healers. Most Vitalism skills require a healing club to not suck, so you won't actually be putting many points into at all for now. (You can reroll skills at will for a small fee.) 4. Now you can level up easily overachieving dumb quests. When you reach 50, you will have level 50 vitalism, so all you need to be a decent healer is a healing club. So you can switch between healer and DPS whenever you want. 5. Level up other classes you like. If you want to be a Cleric or a Templar or whatever, level those up. You are already a decent healer, but some skills are better healer support than other. If you still have Quest lines to finish, which you should, you can keep just your 1 DPS skill to mow down mobs, and level up your other two healer support skills. That shouldn't be too painful, and you'll be able to switch between precious healer and DPS at will.

Today I learned you can put a bed in your private workbench.  So fellow homeless goons, if you have an 8X8 you can build a Private Sawmill/loom/etc, and then put your bed, chest, and other small decorative items on display. Just don't build the private smelter, the smelter itself is huge and takes up most of the space.

Internet Kraken posted:Its not like Goon Squad has any reason not to gently caress with Wicked. What do we need allies for when all we can do is mess around? Yeah, if we are spazzing out too hard to try for a castle, we don't really need any allies. The Freedick FC deal helps out average goons who want to do a trade run. I'm not sure what an alliance with Wicked would do for us at this point.

JackDRipper posted:At this point I had not posted about the plans for Tuesday because frankly I was running it like an EVE OP and not tipping my hand on what the plan was till the last minute. I think a big difference is that after so many years most EVE goons are willing to trust that the leadership has a plan and has things under control. The BFM drama bomb and aftershocks eroded the sense that the AAgoon leaders know what they are doing and have a plan. The constant trolling and meltdowns ITT for a few weeks there obviously didn't help. So there is a sense that nobody knows what is going on, or half the time even knows who is supposed to be in charge of things. Maybe not getting a castle will give us time to gel and do stuff without constantly splintering. Or maybe a shiny new game will come along.

Not sure if they'll bring those back, or force us all to have an exciting boat ride north! There is a world gate in seachild that claims to go to Auroria, but when I tried it it just dumped me at a nearby Nui shrine because that little blue guy is a liar.

30.5 Days posted:Considering that I collected more than 15 stone packs worth of materials and have yet to receive them back from the individuals who took off, what the gently caress does that have to do with this situation? Sup stone bro? I donated 500 stone bricks too, split between SCT and Kiiz, I think? That isn't a huge gold value of course, but as a landless newbie mining was my main source of income, so it was a pretty big deal to me at the time and seemed like a "fair" amount to donate to the cause. Having that brushed aside as nothing because some other guys may have donated more (and then stolen it) is kind of a slap in the face. Rude.

CompeAnansi posted:The main issue with our taking a castle from someone else is we have a dearth of mages in the guild. We need to have at least 50 people with maxed out Sorcery/Occultism + heroic cloth/plate in order to have a shot at winning sieges. AoE CC & Damage wins sieges. We can get there eventually, but for now I don't think we should even worry about trying to do sieges and just roam around having our fun by annoying pubbies. We may have a lack of mages, but once people get to 50 it isn't really that difficult to skill up other trees or even go archemaster just with crafting or whatever. We have at least 6 weeks before we can even attempt a seige, which is more than enough time for everyone currently active to get whatever skills they want. Gear could be more of a problem. All the archers likely have leather, and leather is the least-good armor for mages. Still, with a bunch of 50s it shouldn't be hard to get at least GHA gear and Hasla weapons for every class you care to take.

Axel Serenity posted:This whole thing is even funnier when you consider that a few people are probably NOT getting kicked and are therefore reaping land harvests as we speak since there are no housing limits. Yeah, no offence to Minti or the guys who have enough land to plant 108 cedars at a time, but escalating taxes obviously aren't enough to keep people from being greedy land hogs. As it is there is no reason not to drop a cottage where ever you see space, and decide later if you want to use it or just sell it off. In good areas even 8x8s can have a few people camping them when they are demolished. One guy grabbed one near my 2 8x8s and immediately sent me a mail offering to sell it to me for 100 gold. LOL.

Rivarz posted:Anyone think it will be possible to still find a 16x16 and 24x24 by that time, or does this pretty much screw us out of land again? When the first castle went up all the land was gone within 5 minutes. It is possible that all the lucky people used all their scrolls on land in the first couple castle regions, possibly leaving a bit of land in the very worst parts of the last region . . . but I wouldn't count on it. Especially since it looks like very many people weren't able to get online at all, so there will be a huge rush for any remnants when Trion fixes their poo poo. I was really hoping to get a house and farm close together somewhere. Anywhere.

Mimetic posted:The logic of having a F2P game where one of the biggest perks for subscribing is land ownership, but making land intentionally scarce seems weird to me. Do the Korean/Russian games have the same payment structure? I heard the Russian servers have a hard restriction of 3 properties (per character? per account?) so hoarding isn't a huge problem. Trion knew about this, but decided the escalating taxes would probably be a good enough disincentive.

I guess they ended up changing it to the less lovely time of 5 pm GMT, but still. :trion: And now I can't play my euro alt until then, because my copy of the game is not compatible with the euro servers. Oh well, hopefully Trion will fix the problem before they launch, so you guys won't have the hilarious misery the NA launch has had.

The Shortest Path posted:Wow. That's even worse and somehow more depressing than what I thought happened. There was some atrocious bitter drama for a few days, but everything seems good now. We're splintered all to hell and will never be a Political Force in this game (at least not in the near future) but that means we don't have to gently caress around with diplomacy at all. I think we still have the freedich deal with FC for running tradepacks, but that seems to be about it. If you are in a guild with "goon" in the name, then you are KOS at all fishing holes, so goons that love to fish have all left. No more fishing drama. Not having a goon castle means we don't need a guild bank or to channel anything to anyone, so no more drama about guild finances. We don't have huge numbers, but even with the splintering Goon Squad still has 75 people logged in right this minute. There are things going on. Some people are pirating. Some people are doing thing in Auroria. Some people are griping about Hasla. Some people are off doing their own thing. No stress anymore, just do what you want, whatever is fun for you.

Hell, lets imagine he is currently out there beating fishermen to death with a rotting marlin husk while cackling maniacally and yelling about fishing pacts and loving goons. Why the hell would you go out of your way and contact people in entirely separate game communities to get him banned from games he may or may not be playing anymore? It's not even petty at this point, that seems like a whole load of effort for a chance it may be annoying. Jesus gently caress goons, come on. Play video games, have fun. That is the implicit threat in all goon guilds though. You have a collection of people who enjoy griefing and generally ruining fun for other people, you encourage these antics, and then you give them the keys to ruining goon fun. The only tool The Brotherhood of the Tenbux has to discourage them from ruining goon fun is that if they do they won't be able to play with goons anymore. Obviously it's not that great of a tool since you can literally get kicked for being a creepy pedo and then get into other goon guilds a few years later. Or on the other side a sperg can accuse you of being a goonfucker and get you kicked from other games on their word alone. It is what it is.

Axel Serenity posted:It's almost like Eve-style diplomacy was unsustainable in a game about piracy! Better take the high road here and steal guild supplies while getting people kicked in completely separate games because my libertarian fish utopia was never going to work long run. Actually having competition and working for fish was just too drat hard. It totally could have worked. It just didn't work with only a couple months to pull things together, and a never-ending drama train. As neither a fisher nor a pirate, the problem seems to have been communication. There was a public rule "don't gently caress with fishers who are fishing with/near goons" and a ~secret~ rule "don't gently caress with fishers at all until after Auroria launches". Kis was absent from the leadership meetings that discussed the secret rule, so he broke it and while doing it ignored anyone who told him he was breaking the rules, because he only knew about the public rule. I feel bad for the fishers that goon fishing was ruined, but it doesn't rise to level of "goonfucking" to me. Keeping the real rule secret because OPSEC was a mistake. Yes, some goons would have bitched about a fishing pact that gave pubbie fishers a free pass on the high seas, but the goon pirates would probably have grumbled and still grudgingly restricted themselves to pirating reds for a couple weeks.

ragnoxiii posted:Don't feel bad about the fishers, they left for greener pastures and are having plenty of fun. Now Goons can feel free to pirate fishers and fishers can feel free to to kill them without a pesky thing like a common guild tag getting in the way. Having to wear the same tag was the biggest problem fishers had with the pirates. Honestly despite my lack of success at joining fishing raids, I was on fishers side. Goon guilds are about goons having fun. These two kinds of goon fun directly conflict with each other. Either goons stop fishing completely or pirates severely reduce their choice of targets, it seemed like pirates taking one for the team would be the more fair solution. Then the fishers left and stole my 500 stone bricks.
