causticBeet posted:We had one last night and a handful of people slotted couldn’t even log in, and it seems like if you miss the initial load in you’re basically screwed. The whole “out of 300 sign ups, 50 people will be slotted” mechanic really sucks too - I was slotted for the 2 days before the war but moved out at the last minute without any notification so they could get a higher level player in. Really cool for the games defining feature to be likely unobtainable for most players! Yeah, pretty much. I mean, they're fun, but I have to laugh whenever big faction companies make insane requirements to have Discord, be a certain level, have duels to determine order, etc. Over the past year or so in testing, there didn't seem to be any appreciable difference between having comms or not, what level players came in, etc. We tried everything from crazy elite comms strats to just having some newbies join and have them run the ammo/cannons so they could participate and test. Most wars the strats inevitably just became "Build/destroy repeaters and choose a door." It's heavily weighted towards the defense, which is something we'd been giving feedback on for a long time and AG has never really managed to fix despite some tweaking of spawn timers and locations for attackers. If the defense could hold the points until the 15-minute marker, they usually won. If attackers got to the doors, any crazy comms strats just didn't really work and everything became a mass of brute-force AoEs on the flag. I can understand why some faction "leaders" are super into wanting comms or tryouts or whatever because that's the game Amazon marketed. The reality is that the devs just weren't creative enough to make that kind of game. The wars are essentially just a prettier version of WoW's Wintergrasp and probably somehow even less involved. If anything, the people trying to be grand tacticians or whatever tended to do worse because they were overthinking everything. I'll be curious how things shake out a month from now when wars are happening a couple times a day, fewer new players are coming in, and organizing everything just gets to be too much work for the rewards you get. Even on the ridiculously closed test servers, we had some wars that weren't even full because players just couldn't be assed to join after awhile. I joined a full marauder group for a war once and our competition ended up being 15 Covenant dudes. Literally only 15 wanted to do it.

The game just came out days ago. This is going to be so much fun to watch. I think I'm going to buy an account.

Earlier today I grouped up with another couple covenant randos and ran the pvp mission quests. Ran into a marauder group (who are the biggest on our server) and had a few fights. Liking my life staff/hatchet build, might try the frost gauntlet/life staff soon but worry I’ll be way too squishy

Dead Like Rev posted:I'd love to but it would just get drowned out in QCS too. At this point he's pulled this poo poo for literal years so someone SOMEWHERE is covering for him cause nothing else loving explains it. There is nothing going on in QCS right now to drown it out. The worst that could happen is that it gets ignored in QCS (or you're told to let the MMO mods deal with it which is functionally the same thing). I feel like this goes beyond general "Discord Drama" since it's tied so closely to the GDN bot which is actively being used to harass and stalk forum members. Kind of like a Meta-SA Forums problem. You don't have to go all hell-dump (though gathering all your logs and proof in one place might help), just make it clear this is a Forums Problem due to how closely the GDN is tied in to everything. TT isn't a mod so there's a chance something might actually be done about their lovely behavior too lol

TT was in the OG atlas goon group back in the day and jfc he was an insufferable dumb mother fucker there and it was a very happy day when he was finally removed from leadership. It's also super loving funny to hear that he's bros with actual loving nazis like the JFG eve loser kimsumus and the like. But on another note this game isfun so far, any auzzie goons running around?

In more innocent TT days, I remember when he was kicked from guild as while everyone else was engaged in a massive GvG tettitory battle, he was melting down because no one was helping him scam some dumb low level person out of newb gear (because lol goons!!!)

My previously empty server now has a 2 hour wait time, which means that the first major war that was just done was an utter catastrophe because no players were able to actually log in. It ended up being like a 20v20 fight.

It is 2021. I should not be spending 30 minutes on a 5 minute quest because the developers of <new mmo> were too stupid to fix the "not enough interactables spawn when too many people are in a quest area" thing that has plagued mmos since 1999.

Hi all, catching up on this thread now. I picked the wrong weekend to go to a COVID wedding! Please PM me with any additional details you'd like to share about harassment you've faced or issues occurring off-site that might be relevant here. Thank you to those of you who have already PMed and emailed me. Let's try to get this thread back on track while I address these issues. To clarify the rules here about importing Discord "drama", I don't want it to seem like I'm in favor of protecting or deflecting attention away from shitheads. I don't want to enable shitheads here, and I have no personal connection to this. I'm taking these issues up with the admins directly, and the several other mods who post ITT have also reached out to me about it. I know not everyone has had stellar experiences with mods handling offsite issues before so I want to clarify my stance on this and what I'm doing.

I think it was mentioned earlier in the thread, the opposite of this happens in the cathedral in south west brightwood where people gather to farm an elite mob that spawns instantaneously if enough people are around, people farm it for a chance of a purple gun drop as well as levelling weapon skills. It's hilariously stupid that it's either one thing or the other, no middle ground.

Zotix posted:The rebalancing of equipment types just before launch was loving stupid. There's no reason not to go heavy armor at this point. At first I thought the only meaningful difference was going to be the dodge roll distance. After some fights in the open world I can say that is very much not the case. In heavy armor, I have even odds against another person in heavy armor within maybe 5 levels of me, but I consistently obliterate people 10+ levels above me in light armors. If I hadn't built hammer/axe specifically for the CC they'd be able to escape easily enough, which is something I suppose. But if you don't have some foolproof way to kite and do ranged damage armor mitigation is king. That said, I don't think that it's too high on heavy armors. Ranged attacks do hurt plenty when they land. I think that something more along the lines of buffing light armor mobility somehow would be more valuable than nerfing heavy armor mitigation.

Oh, they rebalanced armor types? I didn't see that in the patch notes. I've been going life staff/hatchet (though I'm considering trying warhammer) and using the commonly-suggested medium chest, light everything else. Should I be switching over to full heavy? I certainly don't mind going full paladin mode with heavy armor and a life staff + hammer.

Yeah, at least with mobs I can get that this is a possibility and therefore some limit has to happen but in my case it was barrels to interact with and its like dude just let them instantly respawn its fine

I’m trying to find a good healer build that shows you the talents to select in order so you’re not completely useless. Anyone got one that’s working for them? I was thinking life staff + hatchet.
