Krycek posted:How is group pvp in this game? Any sort of guild war mechanic? I've been looking for a good sandbox mmo for a while now. Is there ample opportunity to gently caress with pubbies? Also, can we rename the town to Goongard? I know there is some kind of guild pvp mechanic not sure what it is though. It's got a lot of neat sandbox stuff going on but, if pvp is your main thing this is definitely not going to impress you.

Pvp is not my main thing, it's just 'a' thing. I mostly like non-instanced group play and accomplishing things as a guild.

Right now it's a thing, but it's extremely basic and it certainly won't be something that you'll want to focus on. In the future though? Who knows, because this is only part one of five titles under the Shroud of the Avatar series and I'd imagine they'll move in the direction that the community wants (expecting a lot of improvements/additions to the sandbox since that is what is retaining players).

This always made me curious. What do they mean when they have an episodic MMORPG? Will the world change, perhaps new dungeons, new quests? Will we start over five times, or keep our characters?

Pretty sure episode = expansion. New lands, quests, game content etc.

I placed my house at the other end of town, down the road from the erotic roleplaying dungeon of yours. This Citizen's house is underwhelming considering how much money I blindly threw at the game. Maybe I should start a GoFundMe so I can pledge the Lord of the Manor 2 level and get a castle.

Are there no basic items I can purchase to decorate my house with?

I did some tutorial quest with a blood river and now I am in "Soltown" and don't really know what to do. All of the quest giving people tell me to go back to the blood river (I think?) but I dunno how. Edit: When are the physical rewards coming out? Also do you only get a land parcel if you backed really high or something? Capntastic fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Aug 14, 2016 |

All of the quest giving people tell me to go back to the blood river (I think?) but I dunno how. There's only a couple quests that lead back there, but they're pretty easy to do. Go out any of the big stone gates and you'll be at the overworld. Bridge is a little ways down on your right. Also wtf is the deal with the "leather from scraps" recipe. Regular leather recipe takes 2 animal hides and a salt to get 2 leather. You can also spend 1 animal hide, a salt, and salvaged scraps to get.... one leather. Even without the scraps it'd be a bad deal.

Go to the graveyard in Soltown and murder things in the catacombs for fun, profit and XP while you're starting out. Yes to the land thing. Ancestor and up for a tax free deed ($275 for a row lot).

In keeping with Portalarium's ridiculous convention of calling everything "X of the Avatar" can we use it for the guild name? Goon of Avatar, Stairs of the Avatar, Goonsquad of the Avatar, etc?

Is there enough demand for a guild though? I mean, I could find a bigger one that would be willing to merge but 25,000 gold is a lot to drop so people can find each other on a roster.

Yeah that's the thing, it seems like there is 20 dollars worth of game that you can only get for a 45 dollar package. I'd totally jump on a UO style trainwreck to watch it develop, but not for the price of a real game. That's just crazy talk.

I'd totally jump on a UO style trainwreck to watch it develop, but not for the price of a real game. That's just crazy talk. I wouldn't classify it as a trainwreck. At least, not compared to the trainwreck Pantheon's Kickstarter was. If Portalarium continues to patch and update, I think we're going to get a decent to very good game. Eventually. We just got it on a new business model where the developer could keep it in Early Access limbo for who knows how long. I mean, look at the addon store. https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=9085 . $5 for an emote! A smokeable pipe (10 different designs) for $10! A 3 level, castle-sized basement (castle and castle lot not included) the size of multiple dungeons combined for $150!

Wait for a sale if you're reluctant, it goes down to like $30 Edit: Nope, it's even lower ($22.49) http://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/price?plain=shroudofavatarforsakenvirtues Though I think a lot of us are going to be playing Shards Online by the time this goes on sale (probably Winter since they skipped Summer) since that'll be in no wipe alpha too. Not that SotA will be abandoned, I think this is a game people will hop on for a binge every couple months with new content.
