I don't think you are taking in to consideration the insane amount of replenish rate for resources that they have implemented just for the alpha. With out that it will be very profitable for gatherers to make money selling mats and getting to each tier will take longer. Tier 3 might even sting to lose enough times in a row.

PsychicToaster posted:So I should just unlock being able to use t4 and then farm silver with t3 gear in order to buy gear? If you want to craft, pick one thing and specialize. Hell you could be the bag and cloak guy, or the Axe guy, or the nature stave guy. But nobody will be the T6 melee weapon guy. If you don't enjoy crafting, just as fine. You can gather/buy the mats and find a guildie who is the "T4 plate armor guy" and feed him the mats/silver to get it. Saves you a ton a time and helps him improve. Chances are any decent sized guild will have 1-3 dedicated crafters to any 1 thing. You could even specialize in gathering, since that will be a thing later on in higher tiers. Crafters might not have time to get gathering up to T6, or might not have a big enough supply. You can barter or straight up sell. TL:DR Solo craft to T3, figure out if you want to craft further and pick something. Do not jack-of-all-trade past T3.

People who are just getting in, or have been lurking as scrubs in the wilderness. I suggest dicking around and making t2 stuff and while getting a feel for the game head towards Buccaneers after you have joined Fate. If you need help getting accepted message me in-game (Nerevarine) and I can get someone to accept you. From buccs make your way North-East through Spine and into Darkshore where our main camp is. There is no tax on the stations so you can craft for cheap and the zone is very safe. If you need some T3 shineys while you gather mats let me know and I will

Baldbeard posted:I'm in full T3 now, able to use some T4 weapons, and I'm having a really hard time deciding where to specialize as far as weapon usage goes. Bows blow and the dps doesn't stack up. Hammers are really good in PvP because they can stun. Claymores seems really strong, but that is T4. Ice Staff seems good in PvP as well. PvE the mace still isn't that great unless you are solo.

Fog Tripper posted:Looking at the trees, would I be wrong to assume that the furthest out branches would be the most powerful items to work toward? The farther out you go the higher the tier. Every node in the skill book is a higher tier. Pretty sure a forum will be required tbh. Also having some dedicated crafters will help a ton. When I say dedicated I mean, ideally, 1 person on plate armor, 1 on leather armor, 1 on cloth armor, 1 on shields, 1 on healer staff, 1 on tools, etc. Too many resources are wasted on people trying to make staves, armor, tools, bags, cloak all by themselves. Alpha I get doing this for since you want to see what everything is like. Also plate is the most legit armor and, I feel, easiest to get to tier 4. It would be nice to pump to tier four as a guild real fast and have it by like day 3 or sooner. That would pretty much ensure PvP steam rolling early on and dungeon runs before most people. Could even be shorter if everyone pools their gold together or some I think Fate is getting out-paced right now. We have a lovely alliance and an un-organized PvP group.

Harry Manback posted:Don't agree on plate being that amazing as you make it out to be. With the magic beam from arcane staves being what it is you need some type of cloth or tome to bring up your MR or you will get destroyed. Plate gets de-valued after a while, but early on that is what everyone is rocking and there are hardly any mages at t4. Once mages catch up and are seen in PvP then I absolutely agree with you. I am talking more about post-alpha starts, in alpha everyone should experiment with all kinds of poo poo and figure out what they like most. quote:
Nobody is talking about Eve and AA levels of bullshit here, but a forums would definitely help keep things organized and cataloged. quote:The biggest concern I have for this game is that players are going to use so many EVE tactics that it just sort of becomes EVE. Last night I was in a PVP group for a bit and it was basically "INTEL!? 15 PLAYERS IN X MAP! X up! Y map to Z map NOT SAFE! Group on me!" The issue with that was some oval office from our alliance was stream sniping on Twitch from a stream that had a 5m delay. I was so pissed. Not a usual PvP session tbh. Usually we don't get rolled unless they come close to doubling us or catch us by surprise.

A Spider Covets posted:tbh i really just want to farm and raise animals, do you guys think having someone dedicated to that would be useful to the guild? Very useful. You have to keep the stations and territory(s) fed. I agree, Fate would make good allies but I am not rolling with them next Alpha. Whether we do our own thing as a dry-run or join someone else. I'll stick it out with Fate for a little longer and might jump ship the last few days of alpha to get a taste of what an organized guild really looks like.

If most people like this idea either someone on the inside talk to the leader or officer or I can try later on. Bring it to them that we are a close-knit gaming group that isn't large enough to form own guild, are serious about pvp and other poo poo, bring a lot of poo poo to the table and aren't happy with our current guild.

Only guilds I've ever really been in decent fights with have been grief, vendetta2, titans and that finnish guild I guess. Because you really need a plot with stations to do it on your own. Otherwise you are paying a poo poo ton of silver in towns to do anything. I guess we could form our own and ally with someone to mooch off their territory, but who the gently caress would ally with a brand new guild at this point? Next Alpha/beta perhaps. quote:I'm pretty sure one of the current people in FATE that does lead groups is a goon.

So here are my plans and if you guys want to jump on and help then that would be appreciated: I wasn't here the first day or two of alpha so I don't know what the land grab situation was like or what guilds should do day 1 and 2. But day 3 I was on and rockin'. A week from this Monday the 17th I am going to drop guild and form a goon guild of some sort. The ideal is to see how far we can get in a few days of building up our goon island and individual islands as a test for next server. Hammer out a solid game plan and what-not. We can also at that point start running goon only runs and maybe even gate camp some Fate scrubs, since we know how they work. If we do well enough I could even see us GvG taking a territory, so we learn how that mechanic works as well. If anyone is interested let me know. This is to p much get the administration factors down and learn as much as I can about the guild mechanics before next server.

Baldbeard posted:How much of a benefit does a guild island give vs an actual territory? Would it be worth building up a strong guild island first, or focusing on territories? That is what I want to find out. island gives us as many spots as a private island. Territory gives us a few more. One can be attacked and the other can't. I would say territory is the best best plus a farm spot. Worst case scenario is guild island until we can get something going.

There is an empty plot in Druids Bay that we could get and Spectre isn't allied with anyone. Perhaps we could talk them in to an alliance. Genesis doesn't do poo poo in that zone and Fate usually only fucks off in Spine. Island is a no go if the taxes aren't going to the guild. Depending on what this patch brings Monday, I might start up the guild Monday. Who ever said they could put up a forum PM please. It would be nice to have a static repository for information and we could discuss individual issues easier.

Right now in Skull Coast are two plots, one for stations and one farm that are unclaimed. But someone said it is like 100k silver to claim a plot. I can't confirm. If that is the case then we need to really pool our silver together. Those spots would be great because they are close to buccs, the resources go up to like t6-7 and it is limited pvp so you could see a zerg coming to attack.

Asked around and it is only 75k. Can I get a roll call to see if we can do this? I am thinking it will be doable with 10 players and hopefully get some more from there. Ninogan posted:Wow, 100k is quite a lot. If it's that much I'd say we should try and just go into Necropolis with as many as we can and farm there in T3 (t3 cus if we die it doesn't really matter as t3 is basically dirt cheap) and we'll be able to make that 100k in no time at all tbh. I don't think you can't do necropolis in t3, it breaks after 10m. You need at least the tank in t4 and t4 weapons.

Anyone with more knowledge than myself please feel free to jump on it first. What about a Steam Group? http://steamcommunity.com/groups/PigsonaWing Yahoo blows rear end. So looks like after we buy the initial pot, getting t3 stations won't be horribly expensive. Like 5k per station or so, plus resources. With t3 stations that means we can at least make t3 stuff. t3-4 is 11k plus resources, so that is when it will be getting pretty pricey. We can't do the city thing because each plot is like 20k, which is much more expensive then a guild plot. We will also need everyone farming on their islands. If we get some goons and a handful of pubbies I think we have a chance if our count is 20+

I made it public for now guys. We can always try necro, but honestly there are so many blue and green dungeons we can run in less active areas it should be fine for a while. At least until we get t4 stations up. I might save us some coin by buying another account and using the 5k gold it comes with. I have a buddy that wants to play anyways. I was dicking around today in non-pvp zones and all the dungeons are super farmed. I went over to a number of pvp-lite and the dungeons seemed relatively untouched and I didn't see a pvp lite zone with over 4 players in it. Certainly good enough to run for a day or so to get t4 up and going. After that things should fall in line a little easier. I just don't want us to lose any t4 equipment before we get the stations up because we won't be able to replace them cheaply. Going to see how many goons sign up in steam and go from there. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/PigsonaWing Forgotton fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Feb 8, 2015 |

Baldbeard posted:From what I've been told city base tax is 20%. My idea is that our main effort will be out in our forward base, but as far as town stuff, we should grab plots in a city (the corner plots are like 6k silver), and at least put up a t4 repair station. Why let 50% of the silver get deleted when we could do 20-50% in a city, keep most of the tax, and also make silver off of pubbies in town. That is an option, or we can just get a t4 repair station up on the guild plot. In which case the 20% goes to the guild. Honestly t3 stations are going to take like 10 mins each to get up with a handful of people collecting t1-3 mats. From there we can prioritize workstations. Repair would probably be priority.

Surface posted:Yep things are now chugging along and progressing nicely, multiple of the structures are now up and working and we have a good amount of food being grown. I have no problem with this. But there are a couple of open plots, why don't we pool our silver together and get one of those, then you can set taxes to what you want and the tax money goes in to the guild coffers. That was the whole point to starting a goon guild imo. The island route is too expensive and wasteful. I am down to either make one or join another. Just as long as we work together to figure out what goons are going to do from the start of next alpha.

It's a corner shop, and my whole row is open with 7k plots. So if we wana do the town thing while we wait for territory, it's all right there. Base 20% tax, and we could own the whole left row. I am down. Buying 4+ spots now and upgrading them. There are 12 spots that we can have total in the top-left section of Freeport. That is about everything we need and it would be at 20% tax, which isn't nearly as noticeable as 50%.

Hey Koshka, when you get a chance can you see about tearing down the buildings in the center of our guild island. Blazin and I can't get it to work and we think it has something to do with permissions. Honestly though no loving clue. Put up a house by the Mage station, it has a chest in there that everyone in the guild can use. I'll get more chests put up tomorrow when I get home from work so we can have crafters dumps mats in there and have gatherers dumps mats in.

That is how gear scales in this game though. If it were a t7 elite he would eat both you for breakfast. Seems you can solo a mob easily your tier or 1 below and you usually can solo a mob 1 tier above your. When it comes to elites it takes a couple of people of that tier or a little under. Just seems to be how it scales atm and it takes very specific gear set up; That set up means dick all against mages. But PvE is still boring and is really just a means to get you PvP monies. So lets form up some gank squads and go lose our gear
