also, lmao at the idea of getting grid armor. The closest you're going to get is seeing a blue dude zip by you when you're waiting to get a mission in Home or w/ever

I had issues with my account status (eg unfreezing it) and it was all solved by using the account page accessed through Funcom, rather than the account page specific to AO

I can wrangle up to like 22 or something now? Presumably higher when I get home to level past 10 🙃 So I guess send a tell to Trending if that’s something you need?

One of my favorite parts of AO is how loose they (used to? Still do?) play with the concept of class roles. I really miss that about MMOs; the ability to form successful groups with strange compositions that aren’t Holy Trinity based.

Whitefire posted:I started as an enforcer, brought a group into the sewers for virgil and we got him down to like 10% before wiping. Made it to 20 pretty fast though, now to figure out how to get a good 1h blunt and upgrade some gear a bit, I never had too much experience in the game. Grab an illegally modified ofab of your choice. They drop from the Workman mobs in the sewer

nerox posted:Are there any guides that are good for RK2019? I haven't played AO in over a decade and I am sort of lost as to what I should be doing. I was in a similar boat when I tried the game again in 2015 (and then again this past week!), so here’s what’s worked for me: (1) Kill stuff in the backyard until you get to like lvl 3 or 4 (2) Head over to the subway in ICC (every other subway location is unavailable) and murder stuff for a while. There are usually tons of people there so it’s easy to find a group if you’re having trouble surviving and or killing. (2a) At some point you’re going to look for mobs named ‘Striking Workman’. They’re the atrox dudes wielding i-beams, so they’re hard to miss. They drop illegally modified OFAB weapons, and those are really really good. I think there’s a weapon type for just about every skill, so just grab whatever makes sense. They all require 150 points in whatever weapon skill is applicable, so it may take some doing to get it equipped (QL 10-20 implants, the appropriate general nano buff to your skill (which will be in a composite nano crystal) and maaaybe a wrangle should do it, I think) (3) Run missions for credits. I’m clan so I head to Avalon and roll a bunch of find item / person missions that are located in Old Athen. The distance between mission terminal and mission location influences credit rewards, so try to maximize it! It’ll net you 2-3k pet run around level 10 and closer to 11k once you’re at 20. (4) ????? Buy crystals and implants with your mission money I guess????

Oh and there’s a mission from a small atrox in the middle of ICC (on the platform) to kill the boss of the Subway: Absformouth. Get in a group at some point and do that mission! It gives you a nice helmet that will level up with you to 200

It does, but you'll need to download the correct version (the one from Github worked for me). That said, I've heard MishBuddy is better but I haven't tried it.

Whitefire posted:Brief question about implants, how do people get those omni med clothes to boost treatment high enough to get the 3rd/4th tier of profession implants on? Since I'm floating in cultist bux after spending hours solo farming the temple, I figured that might be something worth looking into. You buy them in in Omni land from any basic clothing shop. I don’t think they’re guaranteed to have every piece though so you may have to visit several terminals

Statutory Ape posted:MA, fixer, adv Agreeing and adding on to this with: Metaphysicist might also be a good starter. It’s a pet class with group utility in the form of a pet that heals and a pet that can calm/mez. You can also build your own implants (nanoprogramming skill is light green I think?), and you have a lot of great buffs. Martial Artist is def the class that requires the least amount of investment to be good though.

What's a good duo for boxing? I was thinking trader and keeper for a combination of resilience, calms, and debuffs, but I'd like also like to give NT another shot; massive AoE nukes are Good (these are subscribed accounts, and I have plenty of credits)

I've been dual boxing (with the help of isboxer, which is complicated + great) a pair of Nano Technicians on the normal server (seems like rk2019 is dead?), so if you see Thelmah and Lhouise running around please say hi! and my god, they've made it easy af to twink the hell out of your character. I managed, with very little effort, to put ql50 implants in at level 9. The last time I played (long ago lol) that would have taken many tedious hours of laddering; this time I just stacked neuronal stimulator, a buff item that gave 20int/psy and a pair of research bonuses. Easy peasy (although discovering the account I reactivated had half a billion credits on one of the characters probably helped 🙃) It has been fun answering the question: "Can two lvl 14 NTs with 200 something matter creation AoE solo everything up to Abmouth?" ... the answer is Oh My Yes (but can they take Abmouth? lol no)

please knock Mom! posted:Yeah twinking is a lot easier, but player characters are also just stronger in general. If you want to kill abmouth you probably just need some outside buffs I ended up rolling an enforcer to bring to the party. Thelma and Louise and Beckuh are ready to rumble. They’ve all got Shades of Lucubration but when I went to check the price on outfitting them with 6 VREs I almost choked (4.5 billion credits is A Lot).

Floob posted:This is what we were talking about earlier in the thread. The economy on the old server is so broken now, the prices are just ridiculous. A character can't even carry that much money on them. There are items selling for dozens of billions of credits, which if you were to try and get that many credits legit, it would have taken years, or been impossible, the way the payment system is meant to work. is the economy on rk2019 any better? Or, is that server still active?

please knock Mom! posted:Server's dead as hell. Everyone moved back to the old one. It was super super great when it was still new and ongoing though, with lots of active groups, people organizing 'raids' in ToTW, twinking being cool again, etc. Yeah, I played on it from launch through level cap 60 or so? It was the most fun I’d had in an online game in almost 20 years. I’d love to hear about the revenue that server generated; it was incredibly active in the beginning and everyone had a sub so I had assumed it was at least semi profitable? I wish they did a progression server on the regular

please knock Mom! posted:The level caps forced creativity and twinking. In the real game, getting to 220 is all that matters nowadays tbh, even though I'm on rk5 I'm not super interested in getting to 220; rather, I'm crossing items off of my (ancient) AO bucket list.
maybe do some dynas as well? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

just used one of my account's free 'heckler juice' rewards to get an agent capable of casting uh, basically every buff; would recommend (although not being able to cast the composite MP buffs past 'teachings' is a bummer). I know it is going to taper off eventually, but having my NT run around at lvl 25 with 500 (I think?) matter creation is hilarious and cool ... things just explode. I was trying to ladder my way to 321 int/psy for VTEs but I think it might be literally impossible at this level; shiny treatment clusters sharing a slot with shiny intelligence clusters is rough. I think I'd need QL 85 Miy's Nano in cloak, helmet, and sleeves (would have to farm myself probably), two alien levels (sure), and QL 125 implants (uuughhh)
