I never used any of the Hasla weapons except for the bow, and it's streets ahead of any crafted bows we're gonna see for a good long while. And it's free.

3k honor a day is nothing. Have you forgotten the prices of honor gear? The rented weapons, all the enchants etc? The enchants that can explode???

Good long while? Underestimating how fast people will get crafting proficiencies up. Also you pretty much said why they gated it(they are very good and easy/quick to get).

As for honor, in total its not a big deal, but its probably more about the honor/time ratio compared to other activities and how easy it is to do.

No, my friend, you are underestimating just how high up the tiers of crafted bows you have to go before you can equal the tier 1 Hasla bow, which is not gated.

The time doesn't matter all that much, it's a daily. You can do Crimson in 20 minutes, sure. And then buy some enchants with your 1500 honor and blow them up in 2 seconds. The weapons are a 45 day rental, the cloak is 10 days. It's a grind. I wouldn't mind it at all if they also included a decent increase to honor gained from PvP, or let you gain honor when a zone is not at war, but whatevs.

Not that high, around magnificent(if equal quality), which is 30,000. And people had that and higher in just beta weekend events.

Yes, with labor pots. If they fix the CD to be per account, as they say it's supposed to be, that won't be happening. Also, afk kick timer, depending on how hard that is to get around. And the Illustrious tier has to proc Volcano. And that's if it's equal at Mag, I don't think it is, but I can't check til tomorrow.

Did some googling, couldn't get the stats for the Mag bow. But, the green Illustrious is 161 dps. The 3rd tier of Obsidian, which requires a salvaged Mag to craft, is 221 dps, which is definitely higher than a Mag. The tier 1 Hasla bow, which is blue, is 224 dps. The only drawback is that, until they let us access the higher tiers, it can't be regraded.

I do think the huge gap between those crafted bows and the Hasla bow is kinda dumb, but there it is.

Open Beta today! If you want to join us it'd be best to do it now so you can be part of our open beta events and release practice.

For the OBT our temporary server will be Salphira. We may switch if the server gets full, however.

Excited to finally get to play with PRX even if it's only for an hour or two tonight. That said, it's kind of strange, as I figured we would've used the TS to announce the server as practice for launch.

We might change it and announce it in TS. It's also very possible we will have the final server picked out much sooner than launch.

Try to register and it says I already have an account on Glyph.
Try to recover password and it says it has been sent to my inbox.
Inbox doesn't show any new messages (hour later) and nothing in Spam/trash.

Am I going to have to call support?

I'd check Reddit and the official threads first. Two days ago they had an issue with Glyph where it was saying authentication failed for anyone that had an authenticator added to their account. You could log onto the website just fine, but not into Glyph. Could be something similar.

Hmm so Gamble boxes(as much as I hate them, always found in f2p games).

The CD reduction on workers comp is weird, unless they fixed it for alt spamming.

They must have fixed it, would be insane otherwise. I guess 6k extra labor a day is better than 12k.

That's a really strange change. I'm not sure why they didn't just leave it at 12 hours and, you know, actually fix it?

It does appear that they're somewhat listening to players after they changed some of the stupid crap from the last patch (crafting items in cash shop). Hopefully they revert the mounts back, because that makes zero sense. And then also that they're for real going to be looking at the archeum rates this time.

After the patch notes this week I'm kind of souring on the game a bit. Hopefully the PVP is enough to get me to hold on, but I'm not super thrilled right now. It's sort of looking like things will be gated for quite a while where we don't get the epic Auroria PVP we want until 2-3 months down the road. And that makes little sense to me. I understand that their goal is so that more casual players don't get left behind, but all they're doing is delaying the inevitable. What, you think the big guilds still won't steamroll everyone because the casuals got to gear up for an extra few weeks? A month after they open up all the gates, it'll be equalized to where it would have been anyway had they just opened it to start with.

Hmm btw Scott on Archeum change:
No worries.

No, it's not. There was enough data for XL to make the change to the one with good confidence, and I'm pretty sure the patch notes lay out where we are: They'd like more data before adjusting the others. I can understand erring on the side of being conservative in an economy-based game, since overloads tend to be critically bad. That said, we have the ability to turn around data like that pretty rapidly. So, we'll keep working it.
