You log into your steam account and start the game.

I then log into your steam account which boots you from steam but not the game and then I start the game on my machine giving me my own copy.

Then friend 3 logs into your steam account and boots me and starts his copy of the game.

You can do this 5 times as steam lets you authorize 5 PCs.

I tried loading it up on my work computer and it just took me to my normal character selection.
I am guessing the other computer has to be on and running the game for it to work?

Just a reminder that this isnt some small indie company with ten employees who have to count every penny. Its Amazon, the company that forces people to piss into bottles in order to squeeze every last bit of productivity out of their overworked employees. The company whose CEO is the richest man in the world, with nearly limitless resources to throw at something if they so wish.

You dont have to cut them some slack, you dont have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Hope you eventually post an image like this for everything you get the running in New Worlds html. Reading about amazon messing up in all these spectacular ways that I only expect from the most budget of MMOs is a wild ride.
Do you not even have to do anything to put html in chat? Even in Wushu you had to escape the chat enclosing tags to start your html but here it looks like you can just dump it raw?

There is some escape character or part of the HTML I don't know yet. I have only barely searched for it last night. BUT if you link an item at the same time, it will process the raw html.

I do know it will not let a message through that starts with />

Also I don't know a way to paste in the game chat yet so you have to write it out by hand.

It's not how he described. You need to use family share, apparently because that will allow you to use the second steam account as its own new world account.

For the love of god, anything other than the
After 51 levels I think I might be ready to put the game down now. It's not even because of all the bugs and lame quests and repetitive mobs, it's the stupid loving inventory limits separated by town. It's so dumb. After a few hours of playing I don't want to have to jump between 4 towns putting skins in one, ore in one, arcana mats in one, etc. And things like outfitting need stuff from leather, fabric, AND ore, so you have to manually transfer the mats from the other towns, which ONLY works if your faction owns those towns.

What a dumb rear end idea. Maybe if the storage were globally accessed, I could get over the capacity limit, but holy poo poo, only 1000 per town? Get out of here. I'm not even a hardcore crafter.

I left for a work trip 3 days ago and the game more or less worked with some broken stuff and a few bugs. Seems like the amount of bananas broken poo poo doubled in that time.

Okay, that's true. Good point, Marquess. Point for you. But you get a point taken away for being a dick. So, back to zero.

Enjoyed the game at release but lol @ the latest patches. Got really boring quickly though. PVP was interesting... stealth mechanics were cool enough I guess.

Holy poo poo though.

Monotony of gameplay while dealing with bugs and overheating computer feels like packing Amazon boxes while having to piss in a bottle.

This game is actually a test for our future value to Amazon, yeah?

Something I'm wondering - does anyone have a link to an image hosted on S3? Like a legitimate link to something. It'd be hilarious if anything hosted on Amazon's services could be reached

Can't you take anything off Amazon's store page? I assume it's hosted on S3.

Yes and it's by far the best stealth mechanic of any mmo I've played. No one gets to be magically invisible. You can use terrain and vegetation to hide, evade, or ambush people.

It's awesome and I hope it completely replaces the "I'm a rogue so I get to walk around invisible" school of thought for this genre. (I played stealthers in wow and swotor)

terrain and stealth matter a great deal in this game. waiting until 30 greens are clumped on the box and then having your 4 guys stand up and bomb squad them to death before they realize an enemy is even there is something I'd only ever seen in albion, before

I hope it doesn't lean on the mechanic because while it's awesome, it's very situational and trying to build a weapon skill tree around a mechanic that is based on human perception would be very difficult.

I imagine there will be backstab skills and such since that mechanic already exists in the game. My prediction is that one line will go heavy on dots / bleeds / poisons, the other on stacking debuffs and positional bonus damage.
