Is it crazy to change the weapons I started chose at the beginning after about a months worth of gameplay?

I've changed secondaries 3 times in the past week or so.

So Skill Points aren't a problem? I heard that the later missions just vomit AP all over you, but I wasn't sure if it's the same deal for SP.

Its 1SP for every 3 AP, at all times. If you look at your XP bar, you have 3 markers for AP, and when you fill it completely, you get an SP.

My favorite bug:

If any of you bought Delta Force, enjoy the invisibility gloves, they're getting fixed in 1.7.

How did you get the item window there? Addon?

Howdy, I just picked this up and have been playing for a few hours. I'm trying a leeching AR/Blood build, which has been okay so far, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if I should be having as much trouble as I am. I've done about 2 dozen missions, filled out one of the AR tracks and about 2/3 of the other, with a few points in the Blood tracks and I've got both my weapons and Major and Minor talisman skills to 2, Head is still at 1. My gear is all QL1 stuff from mob drops and quests, maybe a QL2 talisman or two, I don't remember. Nothing outstanding anyway.

I was doing okay but now I'm getting missions that are sending me against the draugr and other mobs with 1500-2500 hp, and unless I'm really careful I'm getting slaughtered. My 50 damage or so with Anima Shot isn't keeping up with the incoming damage and my 37-point Blood Barrier doesn't really help either. I can manage fine one-on-one, but if I ever pull two it gets hairy and three is pretty much a death sentence. Is this normal for where I am in the game, and what can I do to improve? Also, what are some ways of getting decent gear early on? I read that graveyard mission gets you a QL2 weapon at the end of it, but the sniper guy destroys me in seconds, so that hasn't really been an option yet.

This game is hard, by design. Gotta be careful, or you are gonna die.

And it just gets harder(I'm in the second area of Egypt right now, and some of these bastards are just crazy frustrating to kill, even with all my gear QL8-10).

Also, remember to claim your XP shake from the store, and try and get some goons to take you on a Quarry run as soon as they say you are able. I got 38 SP and 130 AP from one hour there, and it helped quite a bit.

Gonna find a hosting provider when I get home tonight.

Didn't someone say we have plenty of space for a wiki on the enjin site?

Yeah, but tying a wiki that's supposed to inform the playerbase as a whole to the TSW-goon Enjin site is probably a bad idea. We might be running it, but we want it to be free and open to everyone and to look as such; some of the more petulant and annoying people are likely going to entirely ignore the effort if it entirely looks like it's made by us.

And I'm gonna go against the wind and say I really don't support tying it up with EvilBillMurray either, even if that is a joke answer. He was certainly bringing up good points, but he was doing so without anything near tact, and the response is unsurprising.

Ah, didn't realize this was going for a pubbie oriented wiki.

Some are also gnarly old angries of an earlier mmorpg generation. Old habits die hard and for example in EQ it was considered really dickish to intervene with other peoples fights unless asked to do so. Etiquette was very different back then.

I'm one of those people. My sincere wish is that the people who help me in fights go drown themselves in the closest puddle.

This. Stay the gently caress out of my fight unless I ask for help or am clearly running from a horde(If I am running from a horde, draw all the aggro cuz its funny as poo poo when someone dies trying to stop a train)
