I made a poor life decision and bought a founders pack. Looks like I'm playing another game with you fucks. Maybe this one won't become poo poo as quickly as ESO....FoolishLobster posted:One thing I keep reading, if you want to participate in some high-end PvE content, that getting the Paladin symbol is a must because it's super strong. I hope this is true. I want to see the whales cry.

WarLocke posted:I remember people saying that even if you bought a pack that lets you start with more classes, if you unlock the global atlas on, say, a Knight, you still have to actually start traveling from the nodes coming off the Paladin/Lightbinder/Cryomancer junction - you may get early access to other classes but you still can't progress the global atlas from them. This was accurate in the last test.

Drinkfist posted:The gently caress you mean this was accurate last test? Motherfucker you were in that poo poo and didn't talk to your loving partner in crime and super best friend Drinkfist? Busted. In all fairness, I just played enough to unlock the global atlas and decide if I wanted to throw down on early access. Don't worry, you'll be able to argue with me to your hearts content in a few days.

Unguided posted:The pantheon construction missions seem to be getting harder. I can't even queue it with two talented level seven engineers. When you level your order, missions get harder. You should try to max all of your minions before you level your order. Blue missions give you followers which level your order. Yellow gives suppliers or ammo. Red consumes ammo for other resources. I usually get a few hundred minions short of leveling it then only run red and yellow missions for levels until my engineers and a few others are maxed.

Hy_C posted:7500 for this week. Any extra you got from last week counted towards this week's cap. So if you had 50 sparks to cap and you finished a mission that gave you 100. That extra 50 was subtracted from this week. 7500 is a lower cap than we had week one. I'm guessing that the limit we got last week was from making a new character and not the baseline for where the cap increases will start. Either way, we'll get our new classes and about 1-2 clusters.

Higher prestige 3v3 PvP queues are popping pretty frequently tonight. There are some premades trying to farm the queues for the PvP bags so they can hold them for Wednesday. making GBS threads all over them as a knight was really satisfying. I also discovered there's a double and triple kill announcement and sound effect (when I reflected a zerker/kinetic ult on their whole team). People will figure it out at some point and Knight PvP will suck eventually but steamrolling pubbies is pretty great for now.

Fenrisulfr posted:I must really be doing something wrong. I've been playing at least an hour a day since the early access and I'm pretty sure I haven't even hit the spark cap for the first week yet (~8000 until cap). I've been doing story missions and hitting the x2/x3 squad missions when they give sparks but my spark income is dismal. Is there some stupid simple thing I'm missing? The sparks gained increase as you increase in prestige. Once you get over 2k, the gains go up significantly and even faster over 5k. At an hour a day, you probably won't hit the cap though. At least not without a bunch of replicator and premium.

Knight ability/talent descriptions are so poorly translated. Half of them call abilities by a completely different name and some of those use different icons so only through trial and error can you figure out what the gently caress the talent actually modifies. I'm still not sure what ability is "Piercing Strikes" because you can't see the debuff from it.

Liberatore posted:Have you got all the important talents and abilities unlocked? This is a must with Necro. Other classes can limp along with less abilities and talents but Necro is rough without them to fuel Lich form. Necro also has a drastically different play style because you want to stay alive until the moment you don't so that you can use Lich properly. I'd suggest bugging Drinkfist for a Necro writeup. He's not poo poo at it like most Necros.

Drinkfist posted:What the christ are you loving people talking about? My Nedder preference is Birds, Waves, Boss, and Golem x 2. If you do golem first or second, you can do it again at the end. You have the smallest chance of getting dicked over by secondary objectives by picking those. The worst you'll get is don't pickup health orbs with the boss and full strength golem with the golem. The Maze and Wardens can give you lovely time limits and the Obstacle Course can give you death limits.

Knight: Falcon...Punch! Knight is the second tank option in Skyforge. Instead of shields and short-term invincibility like the Paladin, Knight depends on active mitigation, damage reflectionmobility, and crowd control to tank. And you get a loving falcon. Stances Knight has two stances: Normal and Barrier. Normal is for when you aren't being hit by things or when you haven't unlocked Barrier II. Once you unlock Barrier II, Barrier should be used any time you are being hit. Abilities Normal Stance Crushing Blow (LMB+LMB+LMB): The second hit knocks down weak enemies, the final hit deal AoE and activates impulse. Each attack causes you to lunge towards enemies which can be very useful in pvp.
Resolute Strike (LMB+LMB+RMB): Stabs your spear with all the force of a geriatric octogenarian. Can consume willpower to do bonus damage. Still sucks even when it consumes willpower.
Barrier Stance Lunge (LMB+LMB): Ok damage, can't consume impulse, locks you into animation. Only useful if you don't have Stray Attach II
Battering Ram
Both Stances Stray Attack (LMB+RMB): Swings your spear like a pool floaty for absolute poo poo damage. Don't ever use this poo poo.
Havoc (1): AoE damage.
Falcon Attack (Press 2): Primary dps and tanking ability. Deal high damage. Short cooldown. 90% of your willpower will be spent on this.
Resolute Rebuff (3): Immunity and Damage Reflect. Most of your dps will come from this ability. You hold it down, soak a bunch of damage, then release to blow things the gently caress up in a large AoE. This makes clearly most solo content trivial.
Spear Throw (4): Ranged Pull + Taunt.
Tantrum (Z): Restores Willpower, buffs damage, increases melee ranged by 50%. Pick if you are solo or dps.
Falcon Fury (X): Summons a huge loving falcon that shoots piss tornados that slow down enemies. Great for kiting. You will almost never take this because it requires you to pick between it an Stray Attack II. Only take this if you have to kite. Stunning Blow (C): Long leap followed by a stun and AoE damage. Great for PvP/mobility.
Barrier (V - Toggle): Tanking stance that gives flat damage reduction but reduces willpower generation. Pretty lovely without Barrier II.
Might Blow (E): Execute. Punch enemies into a sky for your falcon to gently caress-up.
Whiplash (Ult): Can resurrect upon death with 50% hp. Deals AoE damage. Other talents:
Standard Tanking - This is what you should use 90% of the time. Abilities: Barrier II, Resolute Rebuff, Resolute Defender, Stray Attack II, Earthquake, Falconry Talents: Falconer, Rockwall, Inspiration, Knightly Daring, Sky Hunter, Triumph, Rampage of Strength, Collision Symbols: Bonus Dash, Inertia, Double Discharge, Clever Maneuver, Divine Intervention, Impulse Barrier, Protector's Creed, Breakout, Balance, Defense Reflex, Adrenaline Surge, Recharging Consumables, Consumable Efficiency, Life Energy, Instant Ice
Mobility/CC Tanking - This is what you should use if you are getting your rear end handed to you. Abilities: Barrier II, Resolute Rebuff, Resolute Defender, Falcon Fury, Earthquake, Stunning Blow Talents: Heavy Tread, Rockwall, Inspiration, Knightly Daring, Unshakable, Daring Youth, Rampage of Strength, Collision Symbols: Bonus Dash, Inertia, Double Discharge, Clever Maneuver, Divine Intervention, Impulse Barrier, Protector's Creed, Breakout, Balance, Defense Reflex, Adrenaline Surge, Recharging Consumables, Consumable Efficiency, Life Energy, Instant Ice
What if I don't have Barrier II and Inspiration? Sucks to be you. Getting Barrier II and Inspiration at least doubles your kill-speed. Knight is basically hot garbage without any of the II abilities. Saltpowered fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Aug 8, 2015 |

goldjas posted:I feel like I've been having my dudes work on this Academy since I joined the guild, how long do these things usually take to build? Depends on the building and level of the building. This is the third upgrade of the academy and one required for some endgame stuff so it's expensive. If everyone in the pantheon did the construction once a day, it would still take a few days. Things will be better with the new system after the patch.

If everyone could donate 100,000 we'd have it easily. Even if you can't donate 100,000, please donate what you can. Anything helps. If we get close, I'l happily pay the last million or so.
