jabro posted:If I get one of the tax free lots does it ever decay? Like it I don't log in for a few months or a year will I lose my lot? If you don't log in for a period of months then depending on your pledge tier then your tax free deed & house will end up sitting in your bank and your lot left vacant. Currently it's just 4 months for everyone but it's supposed to be 5 for citizens, 6 for edelmann, 7 for knights, etc. As you go up each tier it's one additional month. So they DO kind of decay (though you don't actually lose anything, just your spot) but very slowly. Logging in even once resets the clock. Also even if you vanish for a year or more you'll still be able to find a vacant lot somewhere - the number of deeds in game will never exceed the number of lots available to claim.

I have no idea what an IDOC is sorry. But yeah everyone on your lot is dumped into your bank if you unclaim a lot or it expires. Googled it, ok I get you now. Yeah nothing like that in here. It would just go "poof!" and vanish. DancingShade fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Aug 17, 2016 |

Node posted:And will that be just episode one? Does Garriott really plan on making five episodes? I think episode 1 is due for completion next year. The roadmap never bloated with "that's nice, hey let's just to do it" so everything additional that comes along gets pushed to after that, so episode 2 and whatever. If you're keen to know more on the topic I strongly recommend slowly working your way through the various livestreams for the release postmortems. Tons of juicy questions & answers in there. It'll take ages to get through them all though. Oh and the previous telethons. You'll need a serious amount of time free to go through it all.

Node posted:I still feel like playing, who knows how long it'll last. I just wasted something like 40k crafting experience on salvaging a ton of poo poo, so I decided to do some more adventuring. I'm going to the Necropolis to continue the Path of Love quest line. I'm in the underground garden fighting earth elementals, does it get tougher than this, or can I possibly complete it? Or has the quest line even been made past this point? 40k crafting XP can come and go pretty fast, don't worry about it. Sounds like you'll probably be fine in there. There is only really one bastard room with multiple red spiders that respawn just across a rope suspension bridge - you'll know it when you find it. I found it best to kill the ones near the start and leg it past the rest, remember to break the webs manually before you run into them and get CC'd & killed by 7 spiders at once.

Node posted:How exactly do you get crafting exp anyway? Just harvesting? I had 95k earlier today and figured I was set for a long time. You get crafting XP by doing any crafting related activity, including gathering and producing. Of course the crafting skills also consume XP too so at some point you're going to want to lock some of them down into maintenance mode to avoid wasting XP levelling fairly useless stuff like milling beyond your practical needs. I change my hotbar a lot depending on my current build, but basically I keep the left side for random draw and the right side for fixed glyphs. Try and keep your glyphs to the minimum required to avoid slugs as it helps you draw the right powers when you need them. Don't be me in my early days with a hotbar filled with flame arrows and an enemy already on fire.

There are ~4-5 silver veins in a side tunnel before you reach the bottom chamber and that has the majority. Some of them will respawn before you leave because it'll take a while to work through all the elementals.

Unctuous Cretin posted:I feel like this is really stupid to ask, but how do you get to Owl's Head now? The boat from Ardoris to Kingsport is gone since the last release I played. Is it the mopngate in Solace Bridge or what? Boat just outside Brittany dumps you outside Kingsport on the overworld. There's another boat inside Brittany Central that takes you to Kingsport docks directly. Incidentally, if you ever find yourself wondering how hardcore the PVP players actually are in SotA there is one interesting statistic. 0.0% of the lots are claimed in either PVP flagged PRT (Brave Coast & Coral Cove). I'm sure you can see the implication. Just something to keep in mind if you ever come across a self professed PVP enthusiast in game.

Lots shouldn't be moving at all and if they do it will be only a few pixels to accommodate scene deco updates, so you'll be safe. (re: livestream comments on the topic) If you want a vague idea of what to expect in a few days take a peek at Valhold, North from Estgard. It's not a completed scene either but it's still a good foundation.

Xenos is the best case study for that - the main hub didn't move at all but all the buildings were replaced. Might be worth checking it out if you like. Bear in mind it was also once a clone of the same map Estgard is based off, so before getting updated they looked identical apart from map rotation.

Node posted:I can kill two of the elves in Grayforest at once now. Three is too much, though. Is selling their weapons to Pip currently the best way to make money? I'm getting nice increases in Encumbrance, so I can keep carrying more and more each time. My focus is generally on harvesting crafting materials and XP more than a time/loot $value equation but the swords and bows elves drops are an excellent weight to value ratio. If you just want money fast and have good carrying capacity kill bandits with halberds & warhammers in Serpent's Spine Foothills. They weigh about 7 "units" each though so make your looting choices accordingly. Good place to get maple wood too.

When the appropriate permission systems are in game for "renting" rooms (it won't be too soon, lots of other things higher priority on the roadmap) I'm happy to look into giving people individual rooms in my multi story basement with personal storage containers and so on. Free of charge obviously because the amusing idea of people living out my basement is payment enough. I'm sure others will likely be happy to do the same with their own basements / spare rooms. No interest in flagging my lot as a guild house though. Because of how guildhall access permissions work that would involve me needing to start caring who has what guild rank, define access rights by rank/individual, etc. Down to each deco item on my lot. Really don't care for the hassle. I'd rather wait for a system which is basically "Hey you, this bit is yours to do with what you want".

I found one unlocked the other day but can't remember where sorry. Do run throughs in various PaxLair style NPC towns that haven't been uncloned yet, that's all I can suggest to find it again because that's what I was doing at the time. In R31 I swapped out my house in Jaanaford a few times and the basement contents were saved, though I had to place the hatch again. If you move lots entirely then it gets dumped into your bank again. If I recall correctly. Worst case the Estgard bank is really close. Certainly if I swap out my house (which I might do on a whim sometime) I'll dump all my chests and things in the basement first.

Unctuous Cretin posted:Someone else complained so you don't have to. Maybe squawk in there and get yourself added to the list. On this topic, because the designer who was originally working on Estgard left before finishing the job and it hasn't been fixed up yet it looks particularly half-assed at the moment. Really bad in some places where the assets are badly placed, leftovers from the previous version or just plain barren. Like that wooden fence outside the Western wall which looks wonky as poo poo. When it gets pass #2 it might look a lot better but we can only go off what we currently see. If you good folks feel I made a bad call and that Estgard was a bad land investment then we need to consider other towns ASAP before the first deed lottery finishes. This would mean either going to a very unpopular (probably for a reason) NPC town or relocating to a PRT. Or we could just scatter to the winds or something but that's less fun. Thoughts?

You can set up lots as guild halls right now including letting people place and remove deco items. I'm just not keen to do that personally, that's all. Once we get permissions just to let [person] and only [person] to use [container] I'll happily turn my place into a giant bank for anyone who wants extra storage. Hell I'll even make the storage containers for you so you can literally treat it like a bank expansion. No time frame on this at the moment though. Lots of other things higher priority on the roadmap I'm sure.

Node posted:Man, I placed four peppers on a shelf in my basement. When I left the basement and came back some time later, they weren't there anymore. I don't have my peppers. They aren't in my bank or any container. I lost my peppers. I bet if you swap out or temporarily remove your basement they'll magically reappear in your bank. It's a rare placement bug that I've only heard about happening on above ground lots. Experienced it myself in R31 but fortunately the deco item reappeared after reloading the instance. It wasn't anywhere near where I was trying to place and was clipping through some other items. I imagine your peppers are on the "ground" somewhere on the wrong side of a basement wall. Alternatively closely inspect the ground near the basement spawn entrance.

I guess I just took my understanding of the deck system for granted since I was there at the inception. My bad. That being said my hotbar is more 4/6. I have 6 fixed powers and everything else goes through the unassigned 4 like a slot machine. Never knowing quite what button to press makes frantic life and death combat fun and interesting to me but YMMV of course Also my setup allows things like chaining 4 stone fists when the right cards draw. The personal customization options of your combat experience are excellent.

Of course the first person who gets known for doing that unfairly might trigger a mass exodus of residents looking for calmer waters. Now that they're no longer available (at least for episode 1) I look back and regret not fronting up the cash to buy a hamlet myself. But hey, we all got in early enough for NPC lots so I guess we're still good. Plus it's not like the game is short of PRT housing options either. It's more the customization aspect that appeals.

Well on the upside everyone who didn't pledge or buy a bundle with a deed is getting free tickets. I still maintain my stance that I have no intention to enter the lottery personally. I've got my pledge deed and that's all I need. Would rather some other player had a chance to claim a lot somewhere since it would mean more to them than to me.
