Hypothetically speaking, if XL games doesn't produce new content for the Korean version of the game for whatever reasons, can Trion just do a code branch and start developing new content fully under Hartsman's control?

So I am finally doing farming tutorials, and I just got a quest to make a bunch of tumeric powder and buy a certificate to take both to some dude for a reward. Have zero idea how to make tumeric powder, and it looks like the lowest cost certificate is 10,000 vocation points? Wtf?
XL is still working on the game. They don't need the same staff to release content that they do to fully develop.
Trion has a deal to publish and operate, and won't be doing work directly on the title.

It actually has a pretty limited character creator compared to most of the korean games. There are zero body sliders/customization(no height, weight etc).

Use your scarecrow and buy tumeric seeds and get to farming. Costs 1g to start i believe. You could possibly find expired tumeric from others and farm that i think. Personally i skipped that quest but may go back later. The equipment crafting one later is more straightforward.

Don't those of you who paid 150$ for the alpha this early feel like you're going to burn out, with release so far away? Especially since all of your time and effort will be erased. Do you honestly feel like you'll play the gameanother3 months(in order to take advantage of the "deal")after release, after getting all of your current efforts wiped?

I can see people burning out, its all about the person and how they play it.
I am mainly just using it to test classes/combos, learn crafting, best way to harvest/gather, how to build houses/boats , what not to do, best shipping lanes etc.
That is the #1 factor why I am disinclined in purchasing the $150 founders pack. I have been in closed two betas in which I played for 3+ months before the game was released (WoW TBC and TESO). I did all of the TBC solo content before it was released and did not have near as much fun repeating it all again with the same character. On TESO I tried to avoid that by playing a different character class and playing in a different faction than what I played on PTS.
In AA, is it safe to assume the PVE levelling up process is going to be the same in Live as it is in Alpha in terms of doing the same quests in the same area?
Can anyone confirm how much of the Korean 1.0 patch has made its way into the US alpha? In doing research on the game,I found this reddit post on the Korean 1.0 patch.Apparently the biggest complaint about the 1.0 patch is that it started to convert the game from sandbox to WoWish themepark focused on PVE and daily grind. Hartsman chimed in and said Trion was not forced to implement all of those controversial changes so apparently he has some autonomy on what changes in the Korean 1.0 patch go in to the US version or not.
Here is something that concerns me as a casual player who often goes a day or two between logging in.
Loyalty points added, gained for logging in daily, lose for not logging in. Directly modifies labour point gain, repair costs, etc.
Lifescore points added, a second layer to the Loyalty point system that is used for some items, generated by using up Loyalty points, and is required for some of the crafting (read: another way of limiting your progress, esp. for free players).
Taxes are no longer paid through gold, but - you guessed it, LP. You pay 'certificates' that cost 200 LP and are conveniently, also available on the cash shop.
For the last line, don't know if "LP" refers to Loyalty or Lifescore points. My concern is since you have to pay taxes to maintain your housing and you cant use the "credit" currency to pay the tax, will a casual players be able to generate enough "LP" to avoid losing their farm/house without having to buy the LP in the cash shop?
Can anyone in the alpha confirm if Loyalty Points and Lifescore points even made it into the US version of the game?
One other question that may have already been asked. Has the alpha version you guys are playing already incorporated the Korean 1.0 patch or will it get implemented later?

The certificate you need for the trade pack is on the crafting merchant and is 50s. You can plant the crops on your farm by laying down your scare crow in a housing area, building it and you're set
Most of the 1.0 changes aren't coming to na we are skipping that and pulling some of the better stuff like balance changes and forking from there.

What about the multiple currencies? The multiple currency types in Korean 1.0 sounds a lot like how Neverwinter does it and that was a major PITA. IMO SWTOR has a much simpler, and better system for F2P games. You either buy stuff with credits that drop in game or you buy stuff with Cartel coins that you can spend real life cash to purchase.
Gilda gold and nui is all you need just about everything else is useless unless you want a particular look from what I'm seeing. Those looks will likely be in the cash shop as well.

What are the best combos for a warrior type class? Currently I'm using Battlerage/Vitalism/Shadowplay and i just switched out Auramancy for Vitalism, seems like healing is the weakpoint on melee.
EDIT: Tuco, seeing some PRX guys running around are they taking any members at this time since we don't have a RR guild going?

Auromancy is good. If you want more crowd control and some cool toys go protection for the third. That is what I'm using now and it's amazing.
Your main three stage attack combos everything in the line from knock downs to more damage. You can gain a lot more cc with protection which is amazing.
As for the guild question we are not recruiting for archeage just yet. I'm sure tuco will let everyone know when the time is right. The rerolled well has been awesome for us.

Almost 25 on Healer, using Vit/Aura/Occult... and umm, it kind of sucks for PvE healing. I can see it being decent, maybe, for PvP once you get down in to the line. But running the first dungeon with one 5sec cool down heal was frustrating. It could all have to do with the composition of the other group members (i.e. is your Tank using one of the good 30 possible 'tank' builds). Can't imagine leveling without Occult for the extra DPS, but at this point Aura really offers nothing it seems in Group / Solo PvE utility. Thinking about switching out tomorrow to play around some with a more PvE focused healing build.

I get that but what's it called has a 15 sec cool down and Inspire lasts 15 sec, so I have to spam that every 15 seconds for a 0.6 reduction on Antithesis (so 4.4 sec cool down) and then a 2 sec cool down on the group heal which makes it 19 sec instead of 21? That is what I call shitty.
You know what... I don't think I took Hearten as a Passive. That could help, think I need one more skill point to have the Inspire ability, Shield (for instant heal), and the Passive. So I only have to spam it once every 30 seconds to get a shitty reduction to the spells
