Great Cleave PVP missions have consistently provided some of the best open world pvp so far. Go here if you need to farm PvP tokens to get your broken rear end 520 set or want to find small engagable groups to fight. - Missions are fast and close to town, meaning it’s a great place to farm rep and tokens. You get about 2k tokens for s full loop. - Not a controllable zone, so you don’t really get big zergs (which usually only exist to push influence) - Decent lodestone spawns nearby, there’s a cave nearby that spawns a wolf that can be mined for a water quintessence For extra bad manner, you can camp the spot right north of town that the PVP countdown timer runs out at very easily. There are some rocks that form a natural choke point and people almost always just beeline down the road. Set up one dude on top of the rocks/hills on the west side of the road to spot and a dude hiding behind the rocks right along the road and make people mad by ganking them right as their timer runs out. I’ll do this with a musket/spear friend as a spotter and myself as an ice/fire mage as the ambusher and it works out very well. It makes it super easy to get them trapped in all sorts of ice bullshit, and they either tunnel vision you while you kite then and so mage things or try to run back to town and get musketed down. causticBeet fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Oct 25, 2021 |

They 100% swap to free-to-play with a premium monthly sub when player counts bottom out. The azoth system seems like it was basically designed to sell players a cap increase / daily regen.

Glad to see outpost rush getting turned back on. It’s Something To Do TM at 60 that isn’t making your number maybe go up by 1 by running the same chest/elite farms for 6 more hours. Should be good for the economy as well, as I bet a lot of the 60s sitting around with nothing to do will feel a lot better about throwing 1k at leveling tradeskills when they can make that in an hour of instanced PVP. As someone with the token cap bug, glad to see I’ll be able to get the last few pieces. This is assuming any of this even works, and they don’t have to roll back features (again)

So a mix of drama and transfers appears to have cannibalized the green faction on my low pop server. A big chunk of the PvP/PVE core transferred off, leaving one remaining smaller guild that is actually organized and a whole bunch of level 40-50s who complain in faction chat about the state of wars (not getting in, losing, complaining about where wars are fought) The exclusive nature of wars is super toxic, and I expect this has happened on a lot of servers (or will soon). You very much get a core group per faction that does most of the actual warring, and then a lot of salty onlookers. Lots of whining in faction chat from players who have never fought in or organized a war talking about how things should be done without the means or motivation to actually do it themselves. Especially on a lower pop server, it feels like once a group cements themselves as the stronger faction it’s almost impossible to stop them - if their best 50 has a gear/organization/sweat advantage and beats your best 50, you’re kinda just hosed.

This whole wealth transfer pause is kind of wild because like… how long does it last? There is an operational goal of “fixing the bugs and dishing out bans” that seems like it is at least moderately time consuming. Are we just looking at weeks of no trading here? How long until someone figures out some way to trade anyways?

Pro tip now is the time to use material converters. Usually they’re not worth it because the tax on them is wild, but currently there is no tax on crafting so you can convert all your useless tannin and solvent to flux for cheap as hell Edit - nevermind these still tax lol causticBeet fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Nov 2, 2021 |

poemdexter posted:I don't think outpost rush is good. With my 590 fire staff, my heavy attacks are hitting for like 500-800. This is nothing when people have like 10k+ hp. People just don't die because of all the permanent AoE healing circles everywhere. The best combos are heavy whatever with a dedicated healer because they can just keep walking forward and never die. There's also the brute bug where a team can all of a sudden be able to summon like 5 brutes from one token? I feel they need to tone down the healing for sure. It's just a clusterfuck of people swinging at each other on points and no one is dying. Also it's 50/50 if my fireball is actually gonna register as a hit. As soon as your team has 1 cap, go kill a mob and get 25 azoth to buy “Battle Bread” in the shop. I have absolutely no idea what the actual math is, but if I had to guess it’s a multiplicative bonus and feels incredibly strong. I’ve had multiple 20+ kill games with fire staff (and not even a good one, 540GS with a crit talent) and it really just comes down to ignoring people with heavy faction armor. Unless your server is abnormally sweaty, there should be plenty of people wandering around in light/medium who will still get absolutely demolished by heavy attack crits + fireball. Just find them and make their life sad instead of standing there and clicking on the blob of heavy dudes standing in AOE. The demon spam, especially when it’s made worse by the north side skipping out in pregame to get a head start, is hands down the worst part of the game mode. It is very unfun to play on a point that has a demon on both sides, alternating their big vacuum attacks to just pull you endlessly from one side of the outpost to the other. I think with the current bugs around resilience and onyx gems it’s too hard to make a statement on “healing is OP” - so much of this feels like it’s really a mitigation issue. I do expect that we will need to see some buffs to light/medium and nerds to heavy, because even with the resilience bugs being fixed there’s still basically no reason to use light or medium. Kinda wild that a heavy great axe user not only has the best defense in the game, but also the best mobility and dps. causticBeet fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Nov 3, 2021 |

Local economy isn’t meaningful when you can magic yourself and your full inventory from point A to point B - it’s just tedium at that point. Believe me, I’d prefer if this game was “eve online but prettier graphics” but it’s lame and makes a bad game if you only half commit to “hardcore sandbox mmo” mechanics

Great axe is so ridiculously overtuned it’s not even funny. Not only do you have the best ranged aoe CC in the game, you have the best dash skill and then a free 30% move speed in heavy armor. Then on top of all of this you do crazy damage and even with resil fixed you take 1/3 the damage of anyone who had the gall to play light armor. I’ll eat my poo poo in outpost rush but holy poo poo is it unfun to play droves of greataxe/warhanner heavy armor blobs. I really hope we start to see some more actual balance patches now that the majority of the game breaking bugs are out of the way.

Ad by Khad posted:heavy armor melee deathballs were unstoppable pre-resilient fix and it's nice that ranged can pvp now There is still almost nothing you can do about heal/tank meta. Heavy armor is still too strong. Any group that is not running full great axe/war hammer/heavy armor for anyone who is not a heal is intentionally gimping themselves in anything bigger than a 5v5. Until they significantly increase the damage bonuses for light/medium or nerf the gently caress out of great axe (seriously it’s the most broken poo poo) this is not changing

you don’t need to be good to gently caress up escspes as a great axe. You have the best dash in the game and then you get a free 15% run speed boost. If this wasn’t enough to get you on top of someone, you can use your ranged aoe stun or ranged pull. I tested this a bit with a friend the other day in duels and as a great axe in heavy you can keep up with bow rapier, bow hatchet, and fire staff rapier by just looking at them and occasionally pressing dash

cosmicjim posted:For pvp, how do you get the most damage out of fire staff? Spec 100% int and then what? Crit damage perks? Honing stone? Int food? Any other tips/items? Refreshing pillar of fire is an absolute meme in any game mode where you can reliably get 3+ people on a point. Both in outpost rush and wars you can basically machine gun it as long as you have mana and it is incredibly hilarious. Enchanted on weapons seems to be big - I have a 540 fire staff with enchanted that does more heavy attack damage than a few random 570-580 staffs I’ve tried without it. Check out the faction staff - that’s probably the most reliable source. I can check later but the gist of my build is deep enough in the right tree to get fully talented burn out, then pillar + fireball talents and anything damage based in the right tree. I’ve messed around with incinerate a bit and it’s damage is really good, but it’s a very slow and telegraphed animation so it’s pretty hard to hit. Light (medium chest, rest light) will be the most damage, but for any dps build I’d recommend 22.9 medium (heavy head, chest, light legs, medium hands and feet) for the sake of not dying, especially if you’re playing ice gauntlet which is basically a melee weapon causticBeet fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Nov 15, 2021 |

I’m not sure to be honest - they are probably easy to bot since most of the missions are super static (go stand in area, chop wood, interact with crate that’s always in the same location) and the missions are always the same (unlike the PVE missions that are randomly selected) They have the obvious downside of being able to be ganked though, which seems like it would nullify any efficiency improvement that are gained from the missions themselves being easy to run. They give garbage gold and rewards if you don’t actually want to craft bags/chests or wear pvp gear (which still owns). I can’t see them being better gold per hour than running a fishing or gathering bot. Maybe the nerfs to starter quest gold are significant enough that it’s easier to just bot faction missions for 20 gold per turn in? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is paying the botters to defend their territory, or if the owners of the territory themselves are running them to defend their RMT empire, but that seems kinda high risk and not sustainable. I know if someone was doing this on my sever I would absolutely spend an hour or two ganking bots whenever I was bored.

22.9 medium (heavy chest+head, medium gloves+boots, light legs) owns and should probably be the only thing that you wear as a dps. It has a really good balance of mitigation while still providing a ton of mobility via the medium dodge, which is arguably better than the light roll for anything other than kiting

The faction PvP quests are shaping up to be a pretty significant nerf to influence pushing and faction token grinding. Not only do you have to deal with more spread (since not everyone will have the same missions any more) but some of the missions just can’t be completed. If you get the mission to take the fort and your team already owns it, you cannot complete the mission. If you get the mission to get PvP kills, and no one is contesting your influence push, it’s basically a dead mission.

Anita Dickinme posted:There’s also a mission in Great Cleave, not sure about other territories, to grab some things from chests. Well you can pick up the quest even though the chest haven’t reset because it doesn’t reset them for the mission or give you another area to go to. So you essentially have to sit there picking up and dropping missions until you get the ones you can do. I think this one works? At least for me the other day it did the thing where it lets you loot the chest again and get only the faction widget. I wouldn’t be surprised if that breaks in some scenarios
