I started a tomb raiser yesterday and I love the knock back stat on him. I can't tell yet because the attack speed on him is so high but I think knock back transfers to your skellys. Which is a funny visual of undead midgets pushing around giant bosses like "oi, back off nerd!"

I decided to play this a little in the weekend. Fun so far but I can imagine it runs out of depth pretty fast.

I'll be on the euro server again as Octave when the queue will let me.

So I think that the reason you are getting a 14min projection and staying there for 40min is because the time projection is based on your place in line and people aren't loging off so the line doesn't move but it doesn't change the time shown to you. 20th - 60th in line is shown as 14min rather than X number in line.

Apparently the remedy to people complaining about long queue times is to not actually show the projected time if it's over 30 minutes.

I think it's 50 down and 150 up, but don't quote me on that.

I've updated the OP with images hosted on a reliable source that won't resize them seemingly at random, and converted them all to a standard size and format.

Candy Barbarian is incredibly good if you want to solo content. Only gets dicey when you're facing a bunch of ranged enemies that try to play keep-away, but the AI doesn't tend to be good enough to do that well.

EDIT: I feel like a lot of the dungeons were designed with no regard for where the camera is supposed to go. Lots of having to bounce up and whip around awkwardly to see what the hell's happening. Feels...amateurish. Are these dungeons all player-generated?

Someone told me yesterday that most are player-generated with moderation and guidance from the dev team. Like, you can't make a dungeon that looks like a dick.

Also yeah, Candy Barbarian owns for soloing stuff. Get a Zealous Emblem to make sure your energy never runs out and just spin to win.

Yeah, a lot of the dungeons feel like those "challenge maps" people make for Minecraft.

I just started playing, but how do you get to the point where you can create and submit maps/items? A lack of dungeon variety is also an issue and I'm wondering if it's because not enough people are high enough level yet.

Just spent two hours strip mining mountains for orange primal blocks so I could make fences and windows. :suicide:

Still it's a pretty neat little game. Going to see if it can pull my niece away from Minecraft. and then she can mine orange blocks for me

Seriously. It's pretty rad kool-ade manning your way through the roof just as some poor schlub kills the dungeon boss and hoovering up loot without any of that "actually doing the dungeon" crap.

One side effect I can point out of blast mining is you get a metric fuckton of primal grey blocks, plus a bunch of many other colors.

Due to several accidental bombings we've decided to stick to a handful of architects in the club world. If you have some sort of creative talent and want to build towers and stuff in there, just let us know here on the thread and we'll get you hooked up with architect status to build whatever you want.

There are large swathes of undeveloped space in the club world now, as we spent most of the day terraforming. We now have a large amount of green space in the center, and small neon city, candyland, and volcanic biomes on the edges, that we plan on growing a bit in the future. There's a hollowed out volcano cave in the volcanic biome that could really use some Doctor Doom stuff in it.

Sure, knock yourself out.

edit: As for player content, I don't think you even have to play the game to submit. Knock yourselves out, there's guidelines on their forums and an entire reddit for items and weapons.

I would like to set up a garden for myself and possibly start on a rail system that goes throughout the clubworld just because there's not enough Magrider action in the normal worlds.

Also, if you are given building abilities, don't touch other people's stuff. Someone (think it was Ambaire) planted a garden, and then someone else took all the stuff.

That wasn't yours to take without asking first.

So yeah, I'm definitely enjoying this more than I did Minecraft. I've sunk a silly amount of time into building my house - got a basement pool, a sub-basement portal area and a fancy glass roof :haw: - and remarkably less in the PVE side of things. I'm fighting and exploring so I can get cosmetic stuff through crafting, not really too fussed about my actual level. Pity you can't level through building but oh well.

Not going to say it's better than Minecraft, they're obviously doing different things, but the focus on RPG stuff has given me a focus I thought was missing otherwise. Minecraft made me freeze up a lot because I really had no idea what to do with all that freedom.

Yeah, that was mine. I planted about 100 compost and the same of ash and when I came back later to get it, it was all gone. Well, I'm making a tiered garden in my cornerstone so that won't be an issue again, but if whoever did harvest it would please fess up and give it back, I'd be grateful.

Edit: On further examination, it appears someone did not harvest my crops; I'm experiencing an issue where ready-to-harvest crops become completely invisible to me. For all types of crops. Any idea why this is happening? I have this problem with sunlight bulbs too.
