please let me form the clan to get founder for the next beta wipe
i will get on asap
when is next wipe? have they fixed bank bug mor? ive been very sick but im gettin to a point where I can actually game.
Kegir stay tuned wipe is imminent and likely in a couple of days.
And the wipe is to signify the new persistance code which is to fix banks and items poofing on logout
Sweet. Are there no mats for casters this time? I haven't seen any mats required for conversions spells. I may have to grind out a Mage just to see how high I can get him.
basic spells have none and all other spells use a new reagent called dust its the only reagent you will need and it can be purchased at a npc like arrows
They could patch a lot and they say they have been working on updates so we could see game play change with the update/patch. If it doesn't here is what seems to be easy mode right now for starting off.
Finish the tutorial quest through the mount award, it's put in your bank not your inventory, be sure to spawn in away from people since anyone can grab it. After the tutorial you should get a summon to the starter town in Human lands which is likely where we will be working out of. Oh careful selling the leather in the tutorial - gotta put up "places of interest" on your map first or you fail.
Warrior is OP right now and armor is the most OP'd. One method for either warrior or elementalist is to lvl a warrior first. Chainmail makes a huge diff and you can use a staff and work up staff bolt as a warrior and take little or no damage from nub mobs. chainmail is purchased in all starter towns and is about 30g for a full set it's worth the cost.
Skirmishers get some nice dps so if your good with a bow go for it. They get 2 shots that rip through players.
Either class you start with, War/Skirm, the 1h sword will lvl both str and dex (2:1 so far). Str is important as it is hp for all classes. Staff bolt will lvl int if your going ele.
Also you can REPICK your class and change both class and spec's so there is absolutely NO restriction or advantage to starting one char over the other for endgame.
If you work up war to 70 str you can wear plate which makes you pretty tough on the battlefield. Mor was the last player standing in the siege on our hamlet and it was no coincidence he was the only one wearing plate. He walked back to the safe zone with a couple of enemies pounding on him and outhealed their damage.
Feel free to add notes here for anything I forgot.
I would advise EVERYONE to start off as a warrior and immediately grind STR to 30 and buy all 4 str boosters.
If you want to be a skirmished just use a 1-handed weapon. It will be slower but you get dex out of it.
Once you have STR up by 10 start using staff bolt or archery to give yourself a bit of range. Skirmisher vs Warrior is an even trade damage wise with bows, regardless of dex due to damage mitigation, but skirmishers has bow powers that can fuck up anyone. Salvo appears to be totally broken. its AOE is about the size of a surging toxic rain, disables sprint, ticks for 15 damage and 6 stam X 8 ticks at level one!
I will post more on skirms later. But the point is, if you want to get PVP viable ASAP, grind str, buy the boosters, then work on ranged.
We also all need to agree on a 2H weapon so post your preference
The Q&A that was posted on the 7th Tasos had said that a wipe will be coming in a few days. I personally think they will try to get it patched before the weekend, so either tomorrow or Friday would be my guess.
wipe scheduled for sometime today by yesterdays post we will again play out of sanguine to start.
get the clan up get dominion and try to take a holding next to otg to try and take over a small area of the map and maybe control some of the spawns outside the protected areas near our territories
/roger
Nub dungeon for skill ups and rawhide.
Chaos chests for coin.
Wood might be the fastest prowess.
we are going to need a lot of metal for all our warriors. which 2-h weapons are we going to use?
im trying great hammers myself
I plan to go Greathammers as well, for when I fight.
I will be harvesting lots of iron and wood that will be donated.
Fishing for the (Prowess) win
I will go sword and board -- warrior/skirmisher route
still need a one handed leveled for mounted combat I assume?
Default Patch Notes Jan 14th
These are the notes for today's patch. There will be a wipe today since the new persistence system is going in with the patch. As you can see by the notes, this is a very large patch and there are bound to be some issues we couldn't catch during our internal testing. Once more we'll ask for your patience and your feedback. We'll do everything we can to fix all issues as quickly as possible. After the patch is stable, the user experience should be much improved on many different levels.
Another point I need to mention here is that we understand the logic behind small and frequent patches, and we will operate this way whenever possible. This time it wasn't possible with many of our resources on the persistence system rewrite, we had to work in parallel but this is probably the last time we'll go anywhere near this long without a patch
Also, this is not all we've been working on, there are many more things in the works that are not yet completed or properly tested, we just wanted to get this patch out as quickly as possible after the new persistence system was finished.
Thank you for your patience while we were getting this done, and thank you for your initial feedback leading to many of the following fixes:
