Oh, they rebalanced armor types? I didn't see that in the patch notes.


That would explain why any armor that isn't heavy armor feels completely loving worthless.

I can’t even play because I sit in the new player queue for days. But also don’t want to play with the weird cult leader goon.

I’m trying to find a good healer build that shows you the talents to select in order so you’re not completely useless. Anyone got one that’s working for them? I was thinking life staff + hatchet.

I'm only level 25 but lifestaff + hatchet has been fantastic. Decent heals the one time I did Amrine, and I can face tank aoe mobs solo. Sacred Ground, Orb of Protector, and Beacon are what I've gone with for staff, for hatchet basically max out berserk and play around with what else you like. The ranged hatchet tree is kind of doo doo.

Make your own cult when you get in game and then !getbank all the goon gold to a random pubbie. At least then the goon guild leader wouldn't be a shitheel.

E: good news is that rollyo is locked to new creations so if you're not there, you're now free to create a character on whatever is open. Honestly the more I play the more I realize how undercooked this loving game is. Maybe I'll come back to the game in a month and see if amazon has pulled its head out of its rear end and the game is still online, and the goon drama has shaken itself out.

Yeah I've been able to facetank PvE enemies in light armor just because with hatchet and life staff I can poo poo heals everywhere but maybe I'll try heavy and be even more unkillable. I remember reading before launch that light armor was better for healers because of the healing bonus but maybe that's not as important as just never dying.

Yeah, at least with mobs I can get that this is a possibility and therefore some limit has to happen but in my case it was barrels to interact with and its like dude just let them instantly respawn its fine

Those ones NW of Everfall right? It's like one of the only cases of quest interactables that I've seen that can't be shared by multiple people, maybe because it forces a mob spawn?

it's a TT discord network that moves from game to game and that happens to get SA threads made about it, and they last a little while before TT shows his whole rear end and gets ejected yet again. Ostensibly goon run but lmao ive heard gamer words a few times on the bad games discord in voip, which ive not had to deal with in goon groups since a long time ago.

Hatchet and life staff has like 4-5 ways to stay alive, so its ridiculously resilient. The problem with light armor is if you're not running a build with a lot of sustain you go down in about a half a second if something looks at you wrong. Heavy armor is a good bit more resilient, and if you weren't relying on light armor's dodge rolling you can probably turn yourself into an invincible beef slab with heavy armor.

You would think especially after ya know his friendships with Taylor Swift, Kimsemus, Fat32 and so so so so many others we’d all raise an eyebrow about letting him be involved in running things and making thread OPs but here we are with people he puts in charge apparently making slurs in discord.

Even if he wasn't a thinly veiled fascist he's still the dumbest person I've ever played a video game with. I understand making mistakes but making the same mistake three times with the same thing in a very short time frame is just stupidity. And when this kind of thing happens in multiple different games it's kind of ridiculous. Thinking about it makes me wonder just how absolutely stupid you have to be to make some of these mistakes too. Atlas and Life is fuedal players will know just how absolutely stupid he is and any wow classic officer who was herding cats when he was around will tell you the stupid poo poo he pulled there. "not everyone gets to raid" to a group after they refused to kick one of their own and carry him. Get these man babies out of our community and make goon mmo guilds about terrible games not terrible people once again.

It's like he took the imperium on eve and told himself that's a great vision for any goon guild.

Because no one wants to run a goon guild except for him. Seriously that's the illness. HE WANTS IT.

Yeah at this point in my life though I’m not interested in being in some guild run by some gamer bro that has way too much time on his hands. I just mostly wanna play games with chill normal people that enjoy playing games as a hobby and not a lifestyle. If some structure emerges from that sort of group, great, but you’re 100% right that the moment someone wants to “rally the goons” rather than naturally emerging, it’s a huge red flag.

I knew I should have bailed on poo poo the instant I realized tempus was involved, I've been around for a couple of his flameouts including the brobot fiasco. Unfortunately I decided to stick it out for a couple days and now I can't move to the SFD server and am stuck with pubbies on Rollyo. We could always pick another server and just start a week behind everyone else on the server, which doesn't seem to be super bad as an idea, since Rollyo goons are going to get turbo hosed by tempus and tempus loyalist officers loving off with the bank and territory. I'm having a hard time deciding on whether I want to do that because I put a lot of time into skill grinding.

Then again I wasted a bunch of reputation points with the various settlements on the XP buff when apparently that is not the thing to do.
