reinterpret

if at some point they reinstitute "gameguard" you could get banned for using autohotkey.

just an fyi

you know there's apparently some sort of "barber" npc in the game right? you don't have to reroll to fix your toon's face.

edit: after looking into it, it looks like I'm wrong about this. Must have been an artifact from the korean game on the closed beta/open beta servers.

once you start you won't be able to stop

is anyone else less than impressed with the rewards?

really the only amazing thing you get is the +exp buff item

they are summons that are not on timers, you do get timed summons similar to the conjuror water summons later in the game though.

the challenge comes with how you use the pet, if you want your pet to do anything other than auto-attack you have to tell it when to use it's "combat arts" and buffs

i'm using RTM x64, it's well worth it.

while I agree this is pretty trash, the issue is that they're only allowing 10 channels per server for the intro zones. TBH, they need to bring that channel number up to like 25 if they want release day to not be a complete failure.

that's because the volume of people which would otherwise destabilize the server are sitting in a login queue right now.

remember to add: "login queues will be so retarded that you won't want to play once you can"

sounds to me like the majority of players on Lumi are non-roleplayers who are going to an RP server for the "mature community" based on the assumption that nobody else is doing the exact same thing.

This is typically the reason why most other MMOs have GM enforcement of the RP ruleset. Without it the server is going to basically be a normal server with a few people who try to talk in character occasionally.

I'm just glad there are no Orc, Goblin or Ogre races in this game.

I'm not going to disagree with you on that point, my issue with the game was the lack of accountability between players.

Given the fact that players could create instant supergimp pvp characters they would do so simply to grief people on their own side without fear of retribution because they'd just delete when they were done having their fun.

The game has surely matured by now, but this happened so often when I was playing (up until the first expansion) that we quit out of sheer frustration.

truth, the game still sucked though.

that will be nice, I was mostly referring to the GuildWars model when making my previous comment.

It's more likely that they'll say "thanks" by shitting out an expansion in the next 6 months to keep the money rolling in rather than do something charitable.

precisely what I was concerned with, whatever they're planning on implementing is going to be a solution only beneficial to Oceanic players.

what a douche

according to twitter we should know more today about the server schedules

East for me. If we went west I'd have to miss the late seige pretty much 100% of the time.

The "night crew" won't be able to participate ever on an EST server.

i didn't catch the list earlier in the thread, but I'm not too happy about these timers.

i'd prefer that we play on a PST server, but I know I'm in a minority here given that the bulk of our guild is EST.

the thing that I'm thinking is that even if they do extend the timers it won't likely be later access it will be earlier access, because their primary concern is alarm clock raids against undefended forts.

If we go with a PST server it's likely they'll extend the timers into EST friendly times, if we go EST it's likely they'll extend into EU friendly times. I just don't see them extending timers into the 1am+ range for either time zone.

so have we narrowed it down to a subset of servers at this point?

I can't believe they cooked Tutty

jess leveled up a mage and is probably going to play an SM, it looks as though they play alot like a necromancer or a cabalist

the specific thread I read was from someone who played a chanter on the live game to 50.

They detailed that players have and will choose 2 clerics over a cleric/chanter for both PvE AND PvP because the buffs that chanters get make them "powerful" but the buffs are subtle increases to base defenses and attack power that most players can't quantify over "another healer that heals for 2x as much as a chanter"

That said, I do see what you mean about WP in WAR. WP and DOKs were always "powerful" but small tweaks took them way over the top and they've never been balanced since.

My other fear is that chanters will become the "noob class of choice" because they literally require no thought to pve grind and have the highest solo capacity with the lowest downtime.

After playing a chanter to 10 and seeing the class forums for chanters I'm not certain I'll actually be playing one at release.

They seem to be the most broken class in the game right now and I'm absolutely tired of playing broken classes even if they do fit my playstyle the best.

what's left at this point?

and are we going asmo or ely?
