Any chance they’ll have level boosts in the shop at launch? I did 10-26 way too many times on RU in the last month trying different classes in PvP. I saved 30-50 for the NA release, but even then I’m not really looking forward to doing it more than once. I’d love if arenas unlocked account-wide, but I’m happy to throw money at the problem instead if I can.

FYI I just read that (on NA/EU) if you create a character and then delete it, the name won’t get released. Bummer since that’s exactly what I was planning to do — create all my characters and then go back and customize.

Akumos posted:There are cash shop items to change appearance. If you're super serious about a name, you can spend a couple bucks to appearance change and lock a name asap. I’m not super worried about it, but I would have been pissed if I made 6 mages or w/e and then found out those names are locked.

I’m going to play a Paladin (love 2 read books to my friends) but I definitely need a smash things class as well — leaning towards Berserker, but yeah shadow/demon hunter is really growing on me. Why the hell are all the classes so good/fun??

Took me maybe 11 minutes to download? fwiw i started the download around 9 this morning and was maxing out at like 400k until this afternoon (shot up to like 15-20mb). i assume their servers were getting hammered in the morning and it sped up as other folks’ downloads finished? if you grabbed it this morning and were getting those speeds then you’re prob fine, but just a heads up in case it’s slow as poo poo tomorrow morning too.

So all the advice from the big nerds is to skip side quests and only do the main story quest, but I decided to just do all of the quests as I'm roaming around this time and it feels...way smoother? The whole map feels really pointless when you're just running from one side to the other to press G a bunch, but doing all the side quests I'm seeing mobs and places I never noticed before, and I feel like I'm leveling up more frequently (even if this is technically slower in the long run).

Unlucky7 posted:Cross posting from the discord: Gunlancer has two main builds that I've seen -- one uses more gun skills (red), the other uses more shield skills (blue). I haven't played it at endgame, but I did take one to level 30 and spend way too long in the testing area where you have access to all the skills/stats/runes/etc. IMO the red build feels like it hits harder, because it's burstier and relies more on crits, whereas the blue build stacks flat damage and takes a lot of skills that don't really look like they do anything. Upside of the blue build is you can basically have 100% uptime on your shield and just not give a gently caress about a lot of boss mechanics.

Harrow posted:4. Please tell me the endless NPC dialogue thins out at some point and I can just go fight monsters and do the fun part I only leveled to 30 on RU but it’s the same annoying bullshit where you talk to this guy then go talk to the guy three feet from him. There are basically 2-3 cool things in the first 30 levels (but they’re really cool), and the rest is kind of a slog. I hear it gets better after that, but I haven’t gotten that far yet. I’m a bit biased though because it did 10-26 a bunch of times trying different classes in pvp and it made me really hate those first few levels. ghostinmyshell posted:im playing as a mnk and im trying to understand combat, because it seems like the auto attack is completely loving useless and i should zip zoom around until i have an ability up... otherwise im animation locked getting beat on... Auto-attacking regular mobs staggers them so they can’t attack. Generally what I do is run around and gather a few of them up then try to position so they’re all in front and getting hit by autos. That said, yeah your autos generally hit like a wet noodle. MajorBonnet posted:I don't play a lot of click to move games so I keep left clicking to attack instead of right, and of course that binding is locked. It’s not intuitive at all but there’s a toggle somewhere in the settings to swap these (there also should have been a prompt to have you choose but there’s a lot being thrown at you at the beginning.)

The tripod stuff is really cool, and I love the way they can completely change how your skills work. It’s definitely fun to try all the different options, and you can probably level just fine without allocating any of your points, but if you’re like me and wanna murder poo poo as hard as humanly possible this site has good leveling guides: https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/build-guides/berserker-leveling-guide. They’ve got a little slider that you can set to your current level and it’ll tell you how to respec for maximum murder. I don’t particularly care about leveling fast, but consolidating all my misc points into one hard hitting skill feels way better to me. Seems like the general strategy is to put points in random utility skills until you have enough to put 7 or 10 in a damage ability, rinse and repeat until 50.

Does anyone else feel like they run into poo poo more often than in other games? I feel like I’m constantly getting stuck on geometry messing up my dodge and dash abilities. Idk if it’s because things aren’t as visually distinct or if there’s just way more rocks or impassable shrubs or w/e than usual. Or maybe because the maps are so narrow? Anyway, that’s my petty complaint. I’m just trying to walk around, man.

For anyone already at 50 — are there folks in the matchmaking queue for chaos dungeons? Like, I know that’s the easy soloable content, but even the leveling dungeons have been more fun in a group.

junan_paalla posted:Cool pro tip for characters who want their class engraving online quickly to make their build work: if you get it to 3 pips with the green books, you can equip it in both of your engraving slots giving you 6 pips in total and turning on the class engraving effect. I watched multiple videos that talked about this but it still tripped me up and I almost burned more green books on the same engraving after I had 20 (it prob wouldn’t have let me — I hope) because I was like ahh poo poo that only filled in 3 bubbles. Madness/mayhem berserker is amazing and terrifying. They really nailed the feeling of being on the verge of death constantly but absolutely loving destroying everything you look at. 10/10 e: Qmass posted:anyone able to explain how the paladin combo skill executor's sword works ? first combo skill and it seems to be pressed twice but I can't figure out how that works. Pressing it once does a knock up, pressing it again quickly does a second attack. You can also just hold the button down and it’ll do both attacks one after the other. Pressing multiple times is only useful if you need a slight pause (mostly in pvp), or because you want to quickly change the direction of the second attack.

I put some of my founders pack crystals on the auction house to try and get some gold but so far no one is going for it. I assume lots of people have crystals but nobody has a ton of gold yet. On the other hand, I realized that chaos shards are listable and I’ve been selling them for 1g a piece. Idk if I should feel bad about that but

I’ve heard people say the stronghold knowledge transfer is one per manually leveled 50 (dumb), and other people say you just need one level 50 to boost N other characters. Anyone know which it is in our client? Any other limits on boosting characters that way?

I did my first chaos dungeons today and it was super fun just blasting massive packs of demons or w/e. They seem like they explode even more satisfyingly than the leveling mobs did. I’m pumped to try the guardian raids (those are the relatively easy ones, yeah?) and maybe poke my head into abyss dungeons. I will more than likely be happy with my army of alts doing pvp and baby dungeons/raids forever. I have zero desire to do a frustrating grind just get punched in the dick by complicated mechanics I’m too old to really give a gently caress about. I do kinda wish chaos dungeons weren’t ilvl gated though so you could do the Diablo rifts thing where you keep increasing the level until you get demolished and have to wait for your gear to catch up.

You can also uncheck the box to harvest the guardian soul if you just want to advance without getting loot or using one of your entries Ooh, good to know. I just fought the battle bear, and it was really fun! Forgot to equip my flare and nobody else had one so we ran around a bit, but I got MVP as support, so that was neat! I missed every single Holy Sword counter, even with the lower charge up time rune, but trying to catch him without getting hit is funny.

kliras posted:Any reason for not using my green class engravings from my treasure chest things? At this point, as long as you know your preferred class and build, you might as well use them for it, yeah? Yup, afaik the only reason would be saving them for an alt. Anyone know where you get more blue engraving books? Do they eventually drop from dungeons/raids or do I have to figure out these drat islands? I went to one with an event yesterday but apparently I needed some item that you buy with pirate coins or something. This game does such a poo poo job at explaining things (or I missed it because I’m so used to spamming G). Also, how do you get your second awakening on boosted characters? Seems like I don’t have an active main story quest.

Ugh, I got sucked into the honing mini game after all (on my Paladin who isn’t even desperate for the primary stats) so I can go to that other continent and get the second awakening. Hopefully I can avoid the high failure rate levels though 🤞🏼 I love that I can do a couple chaos dungeons and a guardian raid and then queue up the second guardian raid to auto-complete in my stronghold and that’s fits about perfectly in the time I usually have to play.

What’s your favorite big numbers class? I’ve been playing Paladin and blue Gunlancer and neither is scratching the big crits itch. I burned myself out a bit on Berserker and red Gunlancer hasn’t clicked for me yet for whatever reason (even though it’s aesthetically awesome), so I’m looking for something new.
