For the goon who was curious about a paladin build for new world. Obviously take everything with a grain of salt in a new game but the poster seems to at least make justifications for their perk choices.

As far as priority for perks, obviously rush to get your your three moves unlocked for each weapon, then just prioritize the passives based on how you're feeling the build needs to be strengthened.

Sink all of your level up points into focus (180), along with enough gear points to hit 200 points minimum, and then the rest should be constitution to beef you up or strength for more clang. As far as how this works at endgame? Who knows, nobody's had a chance to see how it all works at the endgame.

Oof. Looks like TT is going to give the whole guild including all the territory and money to Federation Gold and leave all the goons out to dry.

Ah the great Goonfuckening continues.

(idk if you can even transfer a territory to another guild though? how does that work)

I think the point where it becomes an SA issue is when it's the main game discord linked in a thread (or a ton of different threads!) and that in those cases there is clearly some kind of tacit approval being communicated to casual readers, doubly so when it's discords using sa's name and logo and clearly enjoying a direct, unhindered connection to the forums. I agree it sucks that it's extra work, but the upside is that SA has a bunch of pretty drat cool gaming communities that draw a ton of people into the site, both idiot j4gs and otherwise.

This is as opposed to actual offsite poo poo which I don't think you will almost ever see linked on SA unless someone made a particularly embarrassing banme that then became a meme

Update on my guildmate's ban status for those that care, despite him going thru live chat and submitting a ban appeal for this 3 day ban, I went with the more direct avenue of contacting one of the devs on Reddit and managed to somehow actually get a response as to why he was banned straight after coming out of a 24h ban.

The reason he was banned again was for calling someone "insect" in faction chat. I'm pretty sure he didn't say this yesterday, so this ban was for the previous infraction that he got the 24h ban for. Never mind that our faction chat is constantly full of sexists making rape/sex jokes.

Anyway, the dev said the moderation team thought a 3 day ban was excessive and unbanned him now. Maybe I was wrong about the autoban after all, I think automated moderation would actually be more preferable than the actual idiots on their moderation team

I'm sure they had a bonus for the towns that were due for a war, but taking three of them in such a short amount of time made me think about this post:

Lol yeah you wrote and maintain the OP for a game that sucks so bad and is only good because other goons play it with you (ignoring that an mmo facilitating good social play *is* the foundation of a good game) and you totally won’t be playing a month from now posting “I have 600 hours in the game so far and it’s a bad…”

Why poo poo on something you enjoy at the moment? Why not let yourself like it and be vulnerable and dare I say optimistic for it’s future?

My biggest complaint about the game is the removal of level scaling for pvp. Closed beta was awesome because anyone could hop into PVP at any level and compete on a somewhat level playing field. This allowed players to level at whatever rate they wanted without any pressure to poop sock. Now a level 50 can two shot a level 30 with two left clicks from a life staff, which results in far fewer people flagging as they level, and as a result much less dynamic, fun open world PVP. It also encourages people to group up into gank squads even more than before.

This has a big domino effect on the large scale PVP and how the server faction compositions are playing out. Enclosed beta I was in a small guild of covenant players and we punched well above our weight in terms of level because we were organized and had a lot of practice against other players. Now it's just level 50 plus people they're getting across the map and mowing down any red that they see. People aren't going to want to level to 60 just to be able to compete. The spontaneous sporadic PVP while leveling broke up the monotony of it and obscured the blandness of the grind. Without that, there isn't much to distract the player from the specter of dozens of hours doing the same quests over and over.

Just a completely stupid decision made to appease a couple of piss baby streamers who were mad because they got owned by lower level people on their streams.

Oh nice, it's that part of the New World Thread Cycle (TM) where I have to tell everyone to play nice instead of acting on the reports I've gotten.

I love you goofballs who willingly bought the Amazon MMO in 2021. Yes, it is probably a bad game. Yes, you can still have fun playing bad games (otherwise MMO HMO would cease to exist.) Half the fun of MMO launches is laughing with each other at the broken, wonky poo poo that barely holds together under the crushing weight of launch month populations.

What I don't love are slap fight and name calling and endless posting about posting / other posters. Please try to chill, thanks!
