Wait do are they seriously relaunching without an open beta because that's the worst idea

Of course it's Funcom so why wouldn't they grab the worst Idea possible by the tits and run with it

I bet having to be a gm dealing with the gross nerd sexting in whatever that hotel is is just the worst

I'm not sure I would want to redo the parking garage mission using only their new and revamped and cool reticle targeting camera

Or at all, ever, for any reason.

That asylum one was cool though.

You can do a minimal install and download new zones as needed if you're in a shithole with bandwidth caps or something.

I have "unlimited" internet and I try not to push too far because I know there's some bullshit about "unlimited" actually being like 100gb

I know it was previously an MMO so it shouldn't be an issue but like... a stress test? Might be a good idea?

Man I forgot how bad the patcher for this shitpile is. Speed jumping around wildly, download time estimate is now --:--:--

Oh well, did the arg and got my shadow chaos focus, I guess. Or I will get it, maybe, sometime?

e: Checked on reddit and you can pretty much just copy over your old RDB folder from TSW if you still have it installed, knocked my download down to like 3gb.

just saw a Facebook comment from someone asking how big the installer was, she'd already downloaded 128 gig and was anxious to get going

game's only 60 gig

seem to be a few snafulings in the system, but such is launch

LOL that's not even a launch bug that's been in since forever

I'm still not crazy about recticle mode but I'm using chain lighting as a builder at the mo so that's not too big a deal. I do like some of the mini-instance things they've done as quality of life improvements, and it seems like they've thinned out the mobs a bit.

Dungeon weapons are apparently different and weapon skins aren't in yet for reasons unknown

(The reason is skins will probably be a cash shop item)

Yeah I've been playing chaos and there's no part of its gimmick that really seems to hurt you, it just won't be as optimal if you aren't paying attention. It's nice as I have to keep an eye on the stupid elemental meter.

Yeah I was doing the League of Monster Hunters quest and the Filthy Pool has an ex-cop filth infected asking you to tell her she's pretty. The Filth are the worst, worse than the clicky ghosts, just the worst.

It's easy to grind out anima shards in Shambala - it's not PVP, it's just a bunch of people spamming abilities while things happen. Takes like two minutes for ~500? shards. Win or lose.

Okay, I've given Shambala a few runs and actually enjoyed it. What are the PvP points good for in this game?

What's to enjoy? It's two minutes of spamming whatever ability and then you get a present. It's like being two.

IDK It works out as like Mjolnir Mjolnir whoops I got winded off of a cliff, hey presto stuff. It's not bad but it's hardly the game-breaking future of tomorrow.

It could be set up like while the mission is on cooldown, the ghost is gone and you can enter through the front door, then when it's up again it goes back to normal.

That's not how ghosts work

Don't play the PVP in this game to win, ever.


Reportedly the rewards for losing are worthwhile.

It's the same if you win or lose and takes two minutes for like ~500 anima shards and a lootbag or two. It's not worth caring about but it is worth doing if you've not got anything else on.
