So trying to plan out for this beta, is farming mobs solo a viable strategy for silver? I want to avoid running around gathering/crafting this time. Also passive income from farm is nice but Farmville. And t2 mat running to black/red cities is nice income but boring. Basically I want to know if grinding mobs solo can compete or waste of time.

It's been viable in the past to camp certain yellow zone dungeons and kill the bosses every hour as they respawn. Easy to do while being semi-afk most of the time. As to whether or not that'll be viable with this new patch, we'll see. gently caress crafting, but running around gathering can be pretty fun. Go for leather, get up to t5 where you can start harvesting 4.3 and 4.4 and stop gathering everything you find. Just go for the premium hides and keep moving. Gives it more of a treasure hunt feel than a grind, and I got rich A F last beta doing this.

Did they remove the absolutely loving terrible previous tier requirement to craft the next tier? I hated that garbage. It essentially forced you to backtrack or spend silver on lower tier resources to make higher tier stuff. Bad design.

no

There are better free MMOs currently out. An honest opinion during the first beta I enjoyed the game for a month or so then the flaws started to show. The development team has changed the direction of the game multiple times without changing any of the core flaws. They keep releasing the same game with very minor tweaks every 6 months and wondering why people keep quitting a month in.

I haven't played the last few betas, I played a few more after the first they were alright, just more of the same and the burn out was quicker. From the thread it doesn't sound like anything has changed significantly. I'm sure you could enjoy yourself but I think browsing Free to Play under MMO on steam will also scratch the itch without costing you $100.

no there aren't

people quit after a week or a month or whenever because they know there's going to be a wipe and people don't feel like grinding out gathering and crafting skills for hours and days on end to have to do it over again a few months later

also because the game has flaws v0v

but there still aren't any better "new" pvp sandbox mmos on the market right now

It's really not hard to grind fame at all. We haven't even left the royal continent and forge is most of the way to T7.

The gathering grind is real AF tho... no more hunting glowing resources for fat fame payouts.

and i read their claim somewhere that they had over 200,000 people who bought in (at varying levels) before this one started

the game lost its fun when all the trade routes basically died off and they added in the garbage infamy system that ruined redzone pvp.

having 8 equal entrances to a city is really lovely for people looking to catch traffic. where the hell do i even go to try and get some pvp?

use any of those 8 entrances to leave the city. all the areas around caerleon are pretty ripe with both carebears and full red PKs. it's not really something i've seen in previous iterations of AO. it's pretty cool.

the next patch is supposed to change the rep system i think so it's more reasonable???? idk that's what oatmeal and forge say.

Life does not have inherent meaning; to say that our lives are pointless and our achievements meaningless is to state the obvious. No matter how grand our achievements or how broad their scope, time turns all to dust and death destroys all memory. But that does not mean we cannot ascribe our own meaning to what we do. It is because nothing has meaning unto itself that we are free to create meaning, to make metaphor, and in doing so reflect on ourselves and our world.

Is there a good weapon for dismounting?

for solo the only weapon i know of is warbow but you have to grind it to like 70 to unlock speed shot

if you have 2 people though you can basically run down anything if you can get an autoattack on it with double bladed staff + hunter shoes, and hold it long enough for your buddy with claws to catch up and lock it down

So, since this game is B2P and quite a few of you own it already, so you think there will be a good guild at launch?

there will be a goon guild at launch that none of us expect to last past a few weeks because goons are dickheads

that said if you plan on playing and want an in to a good guild there are various goons who can hook you up
