Alexander DeLarge posted:Are people exaggerating how grindy this is? Because I want to play, but I'm definitely going blader (when they release the class) so that means two characters. As to your future Blader, just transfer all the amour and poo poo from the old character. You will then need just to figure out the weapon, provided your old class was "compatible". I don't know how to gear out Blader, so I can't say you which class would work better for that. Another thing is that Blader is being completely remade, so it can turn out to be a poo poo unfunny class you loathe. Godmode Enabled posted:Ground Floor

With launch just a few weeks away I figured it was about time for the prep for launch posts to go up, so I wanted to throw my two pennies in. I've posted this on other sites and gathered information over the years to compile some information I seriously think is beneficial to you as a gamer. Enjoy and feel free to add to it! (Both legitimate and silly things alike.) EvrMoar from 2arc Gaming laid the foundation for this, and I've previously posted on MMO-Champ (as Blindhammer.) Safety in a Gaming Marathon There are two things that you have to be seriously wary of are Sleep Deprivation and Deep vein thrombosis. Sleep Deprivation There is little way to stop Sleep Deprivation, and it his highly recommend to not go to far over 48 hours without sleep. If you are planning on doing 24 hours+ please stay hydrated and well fed. If you can sleep, even if its 15mins after the first 24 hours and have someone wake you up, or set an alarm on vibrate, it will greatly help you stay focused and healthy. I can't stress enough, don't push past 72 hours if you haven't done it before and if you feel like your body isn't in a state to handle it. I will cover how to properly prepare for a marathon, but for now try to stick to under 72 hours. Recently someone suffered brain hemorrhaging in china just for gaming for 72 hours straight. http://kotaku.com/ma...-mar-1581598210 Your body will try to compensate for loss of sleep, so just like your body needing more sleep after being up for 24hours+ you can also store sleep for when you need it. If possible try to sleep at least 12 hours before a marathon. Sleeping has a ton of purposes for our body, one of which is relaxing the eyes. To avoid eye strain I highly recommend the 20/20/20 rule. Look at something 20 feet away, every 20 minutes, for 20 seconds. This will help ease headaches and will also help protect your eyes. There is a program called f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/) that simulates wearing gaming specific eye protection and is something I know personally can stop headaches from staring at even an LED monitor too long. (I even used this in the cruiser when I was a patrolman.) Last but not least don't drive or do something right after marathon without catching up on sleep. Simply put don't be dumb. If you have to work in 5 hours and you just stayed up for 24 hours+ PLEASE have a friend drive you, or take a bus. One of the highest cause of traffic accidents is sleep deprivation. This is logic people, don't endanger others! Deep Vein Thrombosis Deep Vein Thrombosis, in a nutshell, is what leads to blood clots that are fatal! So what happens when your sitting for extended periods of time is decreasing blood flow through your body. This can create blood clots, those blood clots can dislodge when you become more active and, unfortunately, often kill. This is often what you hear about in the news that kills gamers that stay up for days on end. ‘If you sit for 90 minutes or more at a desk, the blood flow behind your knees decreases by 50 per cent, significantly increasing the chance of a DVT,’ ‘It is vital to take regular breaks every hour or so: get up, walk about, rotate your ankles and stretch out your calf muscles.’ I pulled these facts from a couple articles, please just get up and stretch and walk around when possible. Don't sit in your chair for hours on end without getting up and moving! You can purchase and use these: http://www.amazon.com/Zensah-Compre...ression+sleeves They cost about $40 and help with blood flow when in a seated position for a long time. ( DO NOT SLEEP IN THESE) quote:NOTICE: This is an addition from a friend of mine named Chow, who is far more knowledgeable in the subject as he is a doctor, and we should all heed his warnings and use the information he's provided. How to Prepare and Keep Going! Now for the fun part, how to prepare and keep going and keep your body in a good place while you're trying to hit the level cap. This will mostly cover food, and water intake to help you keep your body happy. RULE 1 DO NOT DRINK ENERGY DRINKS No don't do it, it does not help you stay up like you think and it is not good for your body when you need to stay up for more than 24 hours. This next section is a bit on the graphic side, but people in all seriousness, this is something to think about. Your body needs water, water should be your number one choice. Honestly when you take a piss if it's yellow you need to drink more water. That is the easiest way to gauge it, if it doesn't look like water coming out you're wrong. How do you know if you’re properly hydrated? Take a look at your urine. Generally speaking, the clearer the urine, the better hydrated you are. If it is a clear-pale lemonade color, you are hydrated. If it is a darker lemonade to apple juice color, you are dehydrated. And if it is dark and cloudy, you are severely dehydrated and should notify medical staff immediately. Basic hydration know how, please stick to water. To give you a short idea of why not to drink soda/sugars is because of crashing. Coffee is good to start off, but generally, caffeine doesn't wake you up it stops the flow of chemicals that makes you feel tired. It doesn't magically wake you up, it just stalls you feeling tired. So once you're tired caffeine won't help. Sugar makes you crash, even tho it picks you up for a little bit you will crash. It's less harsh on your body, and will be more effective if you stick to water and avoid sugary food/drinks. You can start with coffee but don't depend on it, and once you start to feel tired just stick to water. FOOD This is going to sound like everything you heard growing up but stick to fruits and veggies to replenish nutrients you need, ones that your body will be burning when it goes into overdrive mode. Sticking to these foods will help your body a ton! To name a few: - Baby Carrots - Peanuts/nuts and peanut butter - Yogurt with/without oats - Tuna (no mayo, use a dressing or mustard) - Grilled or baked meats (ie Chicken and Fish, less on the red meats.) These foods are amazing to help your body when you need to stay up for longer hours. Don't Risk Your Life For First lvl 50!

MH Knights posted:What is the hacking/botting/gold seller spam situation like in this game? It is a KMMO so botting/gold seller spam are a given but do they get in the way of normal play? For example I remember playing the NA launch of Aion and there was so much gold seller spam it was almost impossible to chat in any of the general channels. Ignoring the spammers didn't work either as you maxed out the ignore list after about 15 minutes.

Despite the NA feedback pretty much going "all of this is poo poo and we'll hate it" and it doesn't sound like they've accepted much feedback for NA except for EXP rates. How well this EU/NA ArcheAge do after the release? It had triple the preorders compared to BDO. I'd like to be optimistic, but I was born on the wrong coast for that.

Alexander DeLarge posted:Christ, they're already hyping up another Korean MMO called Bless before this one even launches. Will this genre's fans never learn? What I do not quite get though, is why Korean developers keep trying to make PvP games like ArcheAge or Black Desert, if modern Korean MMORPG player has a strong disdain for PvP? Also, Bless is shaping up to be just a flyby themepark MMO.

vrath posted:I'm curious about how the developer is differing from the KR guys, and what happens if they axe the project in KR, the only interview I found was this Now, with this out of the way, as you well know - the developer works only as long as much as publisher pays them, unless they also act as publisher, which is not the case indeed. Therefore, we can expect continued, active development of Black Desert only if it becomes more profitable than making a new game. Depends on agreement between the developer and the publishers though, so, for simplicity's sake, let's assume that developer here (unrealistic, but simple to talk through) makes the decision between continuing Black Desert and making a different game. In that case, for Black Desert to see further development, it must become more profitable than a generic Korean MMO market cash grab. On the ground, right now, situation is more or less following: Daum Games Korea has folded, GameNet is in the process of folding. God alone knows what's the situation with GameOn Japan, and Daum Games West is happening in a month. So yeah, unless game blows up in the west and Russia stops folding (and maybe some new emergent markets or some semblance of revival in Korea), it's unlikely that any future updates beyond prefabricated content on hold will be more than nominal.

Eltoasto posted:There are attempts at it, Shards looks interesting. But there's no NA publishers willing to put down a lot of money to do it, so the sandbox projects are small and niche. Not sure why Korea specializes in them, maybe the insular and less toxic community makes them better, whereas here like in Archeage it seems to be a race of which guild can destroy the server the fastest.

The salt is real, I'm watching the stream for 20 minutes and it's just marvelous. Guy is farming some really tough archer NPCs, and is getting ganked by the same guy on the spot, twice in these 20 minutes. Both times last hit is on the NPC so I presume that ganker incurs only minimal karma penalty for aggression. So far I've heard praises towards every server except Russia, lamenting of having to play on Russia, and lots of pure salt about the gank and about running out of potions. Fake edit: Oh, now self-deprecating reroll chat. This game will be amazing post-50, while it lasts - players just need to be vocal. Edit: Is this gank #3?
