Even if you could buy your first level 50, it would matter absolutely zero and still not be "pay to win". Leveling to 50 is just a chore that takes like 8-12 hours and is like 0.0000001% of what you need to do in the game to get anywhere.

I'm in stern and that whole area is so weird with how the first part of the game is me riding horses around in plate armor with a big sword riding a monorail and robots offering services is just a wtf moment lol

i didn't understand what this was till i watched this video some one linked in discord:

apparently it's not a purchased level 50 character boost. it's that... you buy a chest. and when you hit level 10 it gives you 520 of these crystals you can use in the game shop, or to buy things in game or something. and anther chest which gives another 520 at 20. then another at 30 and 40 and 50. it's 'if you complete all the levels you get 2600 of these currencies'. the weird thing the guy in the video points out is that you can...spend 11 dollars real life. buy that pack. play the game. and the value of the currency you get out of it is enough to buy six months of the subscirption fee which normally costs like 10 dollars.

so i guess it's a cheap way to get the subscription bonuses? i dunno.

some one already pointed out that there IS a way to boost another character to 50 if you already got a single character to 50, but that's not relaly the same as paying to instant 50. that could be a thing but it's not from that 'complete pack' thing.

I blame LA/AGS on this one. "Level 50 complete pack". There has to be something better to call the packs. The mechanics and the way they work aren't really accurately represented. Inadequate description.

lots of shit has goofy round about explainations so far for sure. i imagine they outsourced the translation to some one who outsourced it a few tiers down.

Finally made it to 600, my second to last craft for the day. Took 3 tries for the last 14 > 15 then 4 tries for the 15 >16 (weapon was too expensive in comparison). That's with spending a bunch of gold buying star things to increase the chance by 20% on every try. Absolute fucking cancer shit. Guess now I can fail T2 and rage some more at least.

Happy to have you on Regulus. What class were you thinking?

I think a mage at the moment, but I really haven't looked into the game much and only have done the intro on a server that was available. I'll sign up on Regulus once it's available though.

Had 4000 crystals already from the Gold Founders Pack, so popped this off the store. Thanks for the tip/video!

Yeah it's very worth it, but one time per account. There's 2 other packs but they're for T3, one is for completing Punika main questline(which is the T3 continent) and other for reaching some T3 ilvl(1340? forgot but yeah).

I'm on Regulus. My name is Svetyana, death blade assassin. Just started fooling around with the game for a few hours. Graphics are stunning, story is kinda bleh, but I'm guessing no one is playing this MMO for the story. Anyway, if you guys have started a guild on the server, I'd love to join!

The FiresOfHeaven guild is capped at 30 members? Are you expecting them to lift the cap sometime? Cause the RerolledFoH guild is too quiet

I don't say anything; I just see people come and go. I don't think I have ever seen anyone say anything in guild chat.

For the first 25 levels I thought, "I wouldn't mind playing though this again on another character". For the last 12 or so, I thought "Fuck all these needy people and their 17 step Chamber of Secrets National Treasure bullshit quests" "Another hidden chamber/secret attack/enemy misdirection/hidden agenda plan? ANOTHER ONE? Bill and Hillary had less secrets than these good guys." I may do one but will follow a speed guide or something. It's not too slow but telenovella levels of drama. It's exhausting.

I think it's a mistake to make the default chat include Area chat. Guild chat, whispers, and anything else just get buried and I miss them constantly.

You gain 2-3 slots every guild level you get, so we're capped at 32 atm. Guild is very active during the day, albeit it's hard to keep track of guild chat due to how terrible the chat window is. Will continue to clear room for any inactives but we normally have 25-30 online right now.

Edit: for the second half of the question, I really wish they would increase but I don't see it happening.

How important are gunlancers, or are they just a tankier version of DPS? It's what I ended up rolling. I have no clue on the end game stuff,.

Gunlancers are great. They're one of, if not the most OP class out there. Tanky, DPS, some support skills, etc. They're badass. I'd play one if I could ever get used to their fucking dash, but I just can't, malfunctions my brain.

I was able to make one on Regulus last night at 5 EST or so, if that helps. Just keep trying!

Eu prime time seems great for regulus. Could play with no queue at all during all of sunday.

I guess playing on US servers like in the golden EQ days is the way.

Made a Gunslinger this time around and almost back to where I left the on EU servers. I think sorc felt a bit better to play than gunslinger but it might change with more and better skills.

its clearly the standard "introductory pack". 1 time purchase, crazy "value" compared to everything else. they want everyone to buy it, to get that effective "box price".

We need more levels! Throw a phaero into the furnace!

Kind of a shit design there. When you first join a guild, you're "new" and can't get guild rewards...but also can't contribute. And since everyone is new at the start,

Voldeth was carrying the guild.

That sounds like a pretty stupid limitation. As the highest playercap would be when the game is new, seems dumb to limit to such a degree.

That's typically a mobile game design aspect. Since guild progression/rewards are tied to contribution, they limit the number of people that can contribute to it in form of a member cap. Game is full of those design elements, and that makes sense since mobile/gacha gaming is huge in asia so that's pretty much accepted design over there.
