The guild we're in has a Team Speak server set up, Tanreall and Sersly occasionally grace us with their presence. There were a couple of Mumble servers offered up for us to use, but far as I know no one is using them.

Try and find Wrex, Tanreall, Sersly, Rant(tanreall), Killdozer(Wrex), Err, Hubbleflow, Squidbite, Vexing or Polemarch in game and then we can negotiate an invite from our Drug Addled Overlords. Pretty sure that is all the goons.

Just looked at the updated OP -- is this new patch going to do anything to help the totally new player and/or someone disinterested in 8v8? I like Origins but gently caress if it's stability isn't infuriating.

Webpage is working fine for me, but the server is down. After having a pretty good day yesterday they decided to go and completely gently caress everything up again.

Edit: Worked for about a minute then 504 backend unavailable.

It's okay making fun of people on their forums is fun too. You can pretty much click at random and some idiot will have made an awful post that you can troll with forum rules.

You can't go wrong with a Runemaster or Spiritmaster if you enjoy casters.

A RM is quite welcome in a melee group. If you're right-spec (suppression), nearsight owns.

I think the NS cure was ToA master level perfector stuff wasn't it? so now it should stick around for quite some time? Or is there a cure for NS in the healing speclines?

No cure whatsoever, just have to wait it out. Though spreadheal ignores it. Since it's technically self targetted.

I'm going to download the live trial and see if that's any fun. Might make a Hib Vampire (no I will not spell it correctly) because I really really hate stealthers.

I wish so too. While the server was down, I leveled a dude to 50 on the normal server. I can't stand how slow paced combat is on origins compared to live. Why is this better?

Insta gib at bolt range RR 12 wizards won't be like that on origins for quite some time.

ToA was long and painful when it came out... they have a bunch of ways around it now but it still requires you to grind a bit more to be competitive.

Also nostalgia for old frontiers and how much fun we had back then.

ToA etc drastically changed the balance of the game for the worse. The fact that buying plat is the only way to get properly templated on live, $30/month, etc. Don't really understand why anyone would want to play live.

When was the last time you played? It's 12 bux a month. I just did this in a weekend. For free. Artifacts are fun as hell. Why do you hate fun?

I played on a trial about 1 1/2 years ago. Mediocre/good templates are 200+p, buffbots were still necessary if you wanted to play at any level of seriousness. Artifacts are boring gimmicks.

Got a vamp to 18 on live in 3 hours solo. And they don't even solo particularly fast. There was no lag or random disconnects and half the game text wasn't in French.

gently caress Origins Genesis.

The nice thing is once you get to 50 then you can level your ML and you can level your artifacts too! Once you want to change your template around a bit you can level the new artifacts you want! All while trying to level your RR. If you had picked any other class you would have needed a buffbot, luckily you picked vamp!

If your 50 and I'm on, send me a tell (Sersly) and we will do your epic. I'm pretty sure we could easily duo it.
