The default sorceress face isn't too far off from Blunt. Mostly just need to fix the hair color to include awful highlights.

I haven't played anything more recent than The Secret World, so I was overdue for a bad decision like this.

it does, but just think 2 months from now when goons get bored, if we've let cool people play, then there would still be people playing

That would be nice. Allied guilds might not be too feasible based on how node/town sieges have been explained, but I guess we'll find out more soon.

The game does a really good job of making settlements and cities feel occupied though. Part of that's definitely from the crazy numbers of players in the closed beta, but the NPC presence is pretty dense, too.

What's the deal with mob knowledge ranks? Is it just a roulette, or can I rank up my knowledge by studying grinding the mobs?

Also, it seems like there are no node workshops that let you melt ore into melted [ore] shards to streamline the tool/armament production process. You have to process the ore yourself and then store it in the warehouse for your workers to use in making ingots or whatever. Is this accurate or am I missing something?

there were a lot of scenic screenshots I wanted to take, but its foggy as hell

Did you already opt for improved draw distance in the graphics options?

Also I think some of it is mechanics related. I found a crystal to transfuse helms w/ that improves your character's vision distance by like 25 meters...

Not only did the beta cash shop have furniture, the cash shop was linked into the residence placement view with an option to cash out pearls/go straight to the website to buy pearls. The local furniture vendor wasn't.

It was me. Some of these objects feel pretty pointless though. Can't even use the chests to access/upgrade your storage??



With the amount that some of the furnishings cost, I'd expect more functionality.

Man I thought I was extra shameful for buying the mid-tier package. Now I'm only highly shameful. :mediocre:

The hunting stuff is weird--that owl hunting sidequest? Really couldn't find poo poo about it online. Guides all say that hunting is for whales/sharks. Turns out that you can shoot birds and beehives with the gun (but not the beehives in the Tiny Fatal Bees quest, as I found out in a fatal misadventure).

e: anyway I'll be up to chopping wood or whatever dumb poo poo needs doing for the guild once we middle class plebes are allowed in.

I'm just going to constantly be asking on mumble what to do as I get beat to death by bees.

Wait, did you also die to tiny bees?

gently caress bees, man. That quest was a pain on multiple levels: 1. it came after the owl hunting quest, which trained you to use a gun to shoot nigh invisible owls from the branches of mature trees -- but the matchlock didn't do poo poo to tiny beehives; 2. the beehives are in trees, but using your axe doesn't solve poo poo either; 3. those stupid bees are in two places in the entire game world, apparently, and the only really reachable zone at the time you receive the quest is totally overrun by other players frantically trying to punch invisible swarms and a scant few hives to death. (I got a little videogames mad at a bees quest, jesus.)

Well, since you can't pvp for a while, and you crave tears and human suffering... You can kite enemies to other players' mounts when they naively leave them unattended in combat areas. Imps and goblins kite well, and they have special aggro towards mounts.
