So define soft launch for me, is this poo poo from open beta being carried over?

Question 2: how much can I change class, the raid video talks about changing classes mid raid for each fight... how much of a pain in the rear end would that be?

Changing class is as easy as opening your ability menu, hitting a class name and then hitting "change Class".

I meant regarding gear, the OP mentioned amulets that buff specific skills how hard is it keeping 2-3 classes competitively geared so to speak? + obviously unlocking the not sphere grid

Someone said this was like Vindictus/PSO; mission-based rather than a real MMO world and that interests me because well-crafted dungeons are one of my favourite parts of MMOs. Is it procedurally-generated like Warframe using tilesets, or is every mission 'hand-made' so to speak?

From what I can gather it's both, theres alot of solo/group dungeons but also some more open world shared areas you can fight with randoms?

The good time to use rocket launcher mode is when someone else is taking all the aggro or when you don't mind taking a few hits to the face (like on the boss's last bar of health) so you can spam shots until it's dead.

Also when you switch to plasma mode and lay the area of effect field with C, cackle maniacally as your shots disperse in the field and shock everything in it for extra damage. Really good for ranged enemies or anything that's right in your face and won't move.

Also the rockets become godlike for AOE when you get fragmentation rounds (turns RMB projectiles into mini AOes)

I didn't want anyone to say anything about the "Hard hitting mobs". Motherfuckers telegraph their bashes very obviously so people need some time alone with themselves to weed out their inner suck. I watched a guy in Lanbar Catacombs take the wave attack from the final boss every time and said it would be fine because they are paladin. He died not soon after.

To be fair when the swarm type enemies have telegraphed leap attacks its kinda hard to dodge all of them especially with the tiny windup and massive range.

I've only noticed those when playing ranged. Something to do with the speed buff, I'm guessing.

Possibly, It just really sucks for multiple packs of the Cursed undead guys, pack 1 dies to missile spam easy but 2-3 speed p and rush you, leap attacking 3/4 of my HP bar from 15-20 m away

I am thinking about purchasing this game, but I have a very important question. I see that gear is entirely cosmetic, which is great, because I love playing pretty princess dress-up. Are outfits all one item, or can you mix and match pieces? Also, are there robust options for color choice?

The grouping really bugs me in this game. I'm in an odd place because I didn't play closed beta and jumped in late for early access and had to figure poo poo out so now I'm behind the people who poopsocked but ahead of the people who jumped in for regular release meaning I can't really group with anybody unless I want to pug so I'm stuck soloing a lot of the time. Meaning also that I can't really recommend this game to anybody because telling them to level for a month or so until they catch up with me so we can play together isn't really a thing I'd do.

You can group with anyone if you group up with them and select solo, solo does not mean you on your own but means "Without group finder" so long as the lowest prestige person leads the party higher prestige people can join them

Can someone clarify what it takes to get the class symbol that I hear so much about since I can't find it anywhere on the ascension atlas.

Is it something you put points into to unlock? Or do you have to max out the lower atlas of a class?

Argggh, I capped four nodes from hitting archer. Once I get the 3200 reliquary, I can get two nodes, but getting the 400 sparks each needed for those last two nodes from another reliquary is probably pushing it. How in the world did people already unlock TWO classes?

I guess this week after getting kinetic I'm getting every greatness node I can. I'm capped out at 3000 atm =\

I'd worry more about maintaining proficiency on parity with prestige, so you can keep using gear drops (not because higher proficiency gear is better but being able to use your drops means you can fish for better passives)

The way i thought it worked is that each week the game has been running the total game-wide cap increases, so people with early access have the same spark cap as normal players - is this not the case?

Every week you have a character your caps roll over

Well got the game downloaded and started just in time for maintenance :v: Think I'm at the point where I'm supposed to pick a class to start with so I guess I'll ask some questions.

- Do the different classes offer different development paths as far as other classes and whatever other unlocks go? Like 'pick class X if you want to quickly unlock class Y' or whatever?
- Do tanks and supports have a more difficult or slower time of it when solo in the finest traditions of MMOs everywhere?
- Which of the starting (or at least early) classes lets me be the Fanciest Wizard? (I'm talking flashy overblown spell effects, the more anime/DBZ the better)

-No
-Compared to other DPS yes but the cryo is heavy AOE based which both paladin and Lightbinder are also good at
-Kineticist lets you be magneto and create a hamster ball of magnetic death
Necro is constant undead and death all the time
Lightbinder has a laser cannon

About the garrisons: It seems like fresh adepts still give 3 followers if you send them as missionaries so should I leave a slot open to recruit every new applicant and make them a missionary immediately?

If you want, honestly at later points 3 followers is less than nothing

Is Mare Sacro Monastery poorly tuned or are people just really terrible at this game?

A little of both, important thing to understand is that the trash mobs (the 3 diamond ones) actually do most of the damage so killing them quick or ccing them is really important

I think they are undervaluing hardware. This game is trying to tell me my AMD has a system rating of 3.9 and requirements are 7.0. And my i5-4670k # 3.4GHz is 6.8 out of 7. Does it just have outrageously high settings or is it as dumb as I think it is?

Anyways, in and playing. So far seems fun and good call on the pally.

This game is not well optimised.

So I'm working towards Slayer, but I'm a bit concerned about how I've heard they have trouble soloing. I know they have a rough time with trash mobs while solo, but can they handle bosses alright on their own? Because if they can do bosses then I could just take care of trash as a Pally and then switch to Slayer for the bosses and still get most of the class sparks going toward Slayer that way.

Edit: Also, should I be beelining for that "God's Form" node in the middle or can I leave that till later?

Slayers are fine solo, you sometimes need to wait a tick to regen energy before swarm packs

You cant touch god mode till 30k prestiege so ignore it.
