    They had a survey for this and it was mostly targeted to the feedback from initial beta complaints, but there was one page that was great. It was something like: "Specialists allow me to play the game in the particular style and way I want to:" And the options were "slightly agree, moderately...

    Spear and I believe Great Axe have the same thing. The "on hit of ____" shit applies EACH time a mob is his. So you can multi pull with a spear, sweep them, poke them all twice and insta refresh sweep. Then sweep again, vault kick, and sweep is up again. It's probably something that needs to...

    Chris said in one of his Podcasts that Prophecy is getting the axe. Gladiator gets free lucky bleeds if they've blocked within 20 seconds now. Still going to be a LOT of Glads for easy starters or tanky bois.

    The gimmee league of all gimmee leagues, and I thought Ultimatum was really good QoL. At least I can give them my money for guild stash tabs as with all the changes lately outside of Rogfest2k21 I've not needed more stash space for anything. Very excited.

    Hearing some tinfoil anecdotal shit about drops being increased for certain things. Curious to test myself. Time to see if they fixed the bug I've been using to store omega shit in my storage. And no, it has nothing to do with the auction house.

    Digging into the numbers more, found the refining formula. Crafting Basically it's something like your refining level /10 is a % bonus, then + the bonus inherent from items (steel has a -2% (YES NEGATIVE) chance) + the DIFFERENCE between the item crafted tier and the refining agent tier (re...

    Yeah it's like 25% frustrating and 75% nice that everything hasn't been FULLY discovered. I mean, I'm sure some of you have been in a guild when some world mob dropped some sick purple or legendary no one had any idea existed and you shit your pants. Because now you know you can farm that...

    I would not be surprised if they add a PVP flagged only zone relatively soon. If they find a way to prevent people from zerging with 40 man raids through all of it, it could be some of the most fun content in the game. PVP in this game absolutely shines in even numbers in the 2-5 realm, but...

    This game has probably the same amount or more content that WoW did at release. It also takes about the same amount of time and effort to hit 60 in both, but people forget that shit. There's stuff to do, every day, at 60 but it requires a group or several groups so for 80% of the players it...

    You can also get a fishing quest where you have to fish up an anchor and it ups your chance to fish an anchor by a LOT. So you just never turn the quest in, fish 1000 anchors, get 1000 ingots. But honestly hitting good iron spots (there are dozens) will net you 1400 ore in 30 minutes faster...

    As stated a few posts back, the reagent conversion items from the Faction vendor are VERY, VERY helpful, especially if you only do a few skills. Solvent and Crossweave out the ass? NOPE!

    So, there are bonuses from getting certain skills up such as smelting, that give you HIGHER yield when smelting. So if you have 100+ skill (might be starting point) you start getting a bonus from it so you yield 10%+ extra mats on conversion. So 400 iron ore gives you something like 110 ingots...

    No, you can literally double it. I've gotten more than 50% increased yield so far with just green flux.

    The iron stuff is actually as bad as it seems, if you know the mechanics of the game. You can double your yield from steel ingot crafting so you can turn every 1k iron into 2k iron etc etc.., but you need good skill and town bonus and some gear etc.

    Crafting is the best gear in the game. End of list. Allowing everyone to get there in 3 days is a very shit plan, so it takes ~a month of casual play to get there if you focus one tradecraft or if you feed via guildmates with 5-10 people, you can do it in a few days. The thing is the best...

    Crafting at the high end going to be a mix of RNG and target farming and specialized sets and when it hits that good-good, people going to lose their minds. One of the thing that bothers people is there's no gear set tool. You're literally going to have multiple sets of gear, maybe even 6-12...

    Boars being an exploit is unfortunate. It's actually shit exp if you're not solo/duoing them, but it's nice weapon exp to zoom some weapons to level 10ish. The skinning was mostly worthless outside of skinning luck rare drops. All the BoEs were mostly trash, even the purples since purples...

    "Full server". HMMMMMmmmm, but what does that mean since like 70% of the servers hit "full" at some point and locked character creation? It means serious guilds who want to transfer have to try and find other serious guilds also transfering to an essentially empty server.

    Spear is very good for pvp. The CC it offers is better than probably any other weapon. Damage wise for PVE it could be better, it's like a lack luster Rapier bleeder. The talent for 10% increased damage for consecutive heavy attacks USED to stack on mobs infinitely making it awesome for...

    So the way smithing works and outfitting is that your armor will never be better than droppable/dungeon/pvp stuff UNTIL you start slotting in rare resources. There's absolutely no reason to socket voidmetal and pristine claws into level 35 armor, so no one is really doing that, but if you DID...

    They're probably going to have to put a "you and your minions" modifier on some of this stuff. People already crying all over about it. A lot of the minion builds are only high-end boss viable with aura stacking. Personally I don't give a shit, I think if you build them right and play...

    That's not what I meant. I meant NEW attachments. I'm level 15 now and unless I locked the revolver (maybe?) there have been 0 weapon or weapon attachment unlocks. Bottom line is I think if people haven't bought it yet, wait the extra day until tomorrow and play the free access. They can let...

    Fun fact: it takes 4 iron per ingot 3 iron ingots per steel (12 iron ore) 2 steel ingots per starmetal (24 iron ore) 2 starmetal ingots per orichalcum ingot (68 iron ore) Some tools take as much as ~15 ingots per craft. So you're looking at almost 1000 iron ore per item attempt. This is...

    The pyramid style crafting is really, really weird. I see people botting Starmetal ore and shit, but like, they'd be WAY more profitable botting Iron Ore unless they have enough luck to get epic/legendary resources from it. The fact you need something like 64 iron ore to every 1 starmetal is...

    Tip for leveling is to basically CLEAR OUT a zone before moving on. All sidequests/easy town boards/etc to get as much exp as possible because 40+ the quests drop off and you can be hardstuck pretty bad. Then it's truly grind time!
