[prime panther]

it’ll be lame as fuck if u don’t

best content in the game

[olive yarrow]

lol

[pallid burrow]

They won't

[thin berry]

I think there will be a showing. Just not who you want.

[prime panther]

it genuinely is just lame not to show up

[olive yarrow]

I haven’t even played this wipe

[thin berry]

Oof can show up on his lvl 1 alt and dance from the rooftops.

[sleek knot]

Oof forever goated

[olive yarrow]

If y’all really wanted a siege you would just wait

[pallid burrow]

Why wait?

[olive yarrow]

Luv u bby

[pallid burrow]

They clearly had gold to burn

[olive yarrow]

If the goal was content then why siege people they know they out level and gear

[pallid burrow]

In fact you should be happy

They erased the gold from the economy

[thin berry]

True.

All that looted gold from training in SB.

[haughty galleon]

[olive yarrow]

I do think the mob training stuff is hilarious

But also scary that the most fun thing for a geared 25 to do is openly grief people

[pallid burrow]

It's like you never played online before

This your first MMO?

[olive yarrow]

Don’t get me wrong I’m not someone to shame someone griefing people, it’s just like damn bros burned 100 hours to sit in steelbloom and troll dads

That’s gotta feel bad

Actually ngl that probably feels amazing considering how upset everyone is

[pallid burrow]

The salt is the point

[haughty galleon]

I mean idk. Should we just afk for a month to wait for the server to catch up? That's no fun. If I afk im afk until November.

[olive yarrow]

lol what we doin if Everyone is 25 anyways

[pallid burrow]

Some of people are just too soft

[olive yarrow]

Bro you don’t like getting cc’d you can not speak

[pallid burrow]

Uh you are clearly confused

I'm able to see why the cc is a problem

Like I said go read the PTR thread about it or shut up

I'm not repeating myself

[olive yarrow]

If you’re afraid of people forcing you to interact in the open world sandbox game just say so lil bro

[pallid burrow]

Go read

[quiet tulip]

Literally nothing else to do

[olive yarrow]

(My biggest complaint to intrepid since phase 1)

[quiet tulip]

You hide who you are in game and which guild you are in so you stop yapping bucko

[pallid burrow]

Never have I ever hid

[quiet tulip]

Granted not sure what they are supposed to do though for a "endgame loop" at lvl 25 to be fair.

[pallid burrow]

Play the game and maybe you'd know

[opaque void]

i mean, if you rush 25 and then complain, cuz the game has no endgame loop like bro, u skipped 90% of content, crafting, gathering etc just to get to 25 in 2 days for what

what is that gonna give you

[rustic jacinth]

They had it with jundark lawless where pvp and contest resources non stop and bis loot. It was pretty good tbh.

[prime panther]

^^^ so fucking fun

[opaque void]

yea but its not in game rn, this phase has no lawless zone of such interest

at least for now

[rustic jacinth]

NGL some of the best pvp to be had never knew when I was gonna get gankend in a cave

[olive yarrow]

I don’t really dig the whole character progression or grinding aspects of games. I’m more of a “the fighting is the content” kind of guy

That’s why the look around for 45 minutes for 15 minutes of content aspect of ashes annoys me

[pallid burrow]

Should tell that to your mayor since he's loading up Winstead with level 1s

[quiet tulip]

Sounds boring cause then all it becomes is a zerg vs zerg

[olive yarrow]

Yeah so I spend 80-100 hours for an hour of “content”

[rustic jacinth]

It wasn't it was too big

[rustic jacinth]

So many 8 vs 8

6vs 10 etc

[olive yarrow]

I’m also of the opinion that people who think the sieges are the best content rn are insane

8v8 and 16v16 is the best content

Sieges are a laggy mess of turn based combat

[pallid burrow]

1v1 is the best content

[olive yarrow]

Classes aren’t balanced around 1v1 so no

[pallid burrow]

Found the mage player

[olive yarrow]

I’ve played 4 classes

[pallid burrow]

One of them was mage

[lucid plume]

mage is STILL the best class

[olive yarrow]

Different one every phase

[quiet tulip]

Yea large scale has gotten cringe. NW unfortunately and BDO had thr best siege systems.

[lucid plume]

because the game isnt balanced around 1v1. why would i play a 1v1 class? lol

[olive yarrow]

God new world was so good

With the worst devs imaginable

[pallid burrow]

Trueeee but they squishy by themselves

[opaque void]

bro polar dec siege when most of the playerbase isnt even 20, like if you want proper siege just wait for a fair fight, or is that too much for polar to handle? like i dont get it

[olive yarrow]

Ranger overtook it

[lucid plume]

oh absolutely. positioning is important af

[quiet tulip]

Minor tweaks and the game is goated

[rustic jacinth]

Everything in red was a pvp zone and bis gear was everywhere it was so spread out you couldn't zerg it without gimping your selves.

[pallid burrow]

So what id fight in the siege but then I'm in team aura

[lucid plume]

thats because they nerfed mage 8 times lol

[olive yarrow]

Yes and no

The higher ttk meta in my opinion really showed the gaps in mage design

[rustic jacinth]

Junedark lawless was some of the best pvp gameplay loop the game had

[opaque void]

u dont get the point, its like if a professional mma fighter went against amateur that hasnt really started the career yet

[olive yarrow]

Even if you unnerfed mage back then it would still be an inferior class

[lucid plume]

yeah. mage is very much a "pop all my cooldowns and then survive until theyre up again" type class.

[pallid burrow]

It's a video game it's not that serious

[rustic jacinth]

Issue is lack of defensive skills that are actually good

You can increase TTK without changing stats on gear

You need better defensive skills that are not a trash 5 percent HP barrier.n

[opaque void]

yea, but polar is mad that nobody is gonna fight them, like ts not that serious

[pallid burrow]

Honestly more cringe to go out of your way to make troll level 1s for the roster

[opaque void]

eh, idk trolling the trolls is kinda chill

[pallid burrow]

Just don't sign up

[lucid plume]

im confused. are polar trolls, or are they losers for no-life grinding the fuck out of an alpha? ive heard both

[pallid burrow]

Let the people that want to fight join

[olive yarrow]

i think its more lack of consistent dps options

[rustic jacinth]

Because aura already knows they can win a siege 😂

[opaque void]

i mean, idk most of them i see are just training on low levels thats all i can say

[lucid plume]

supple doesnt know this though lol

[olive yarrow]

they were too balanced around the original burst meta and just felt really lack luster when they stopped being able to do that

[olive yarrow]

help me come up with my alt name for the siege

i havent decided yet

[lime basin]

No

[olive yarrow]

damn cant believe a knife ear is ordering yall around like that

personally i wouldnt take that

[pallid burrow]

Woah the blatant racism

[lime basin]

Just a typical crazy knife ear thinking they can boss dwarves around….

[pallid burrow]

who are you, and why are you tagging me? lmao

[pallid burrow]

It’s what happens when these knife ears think they own all the trees and try to claim our homelands as their own

Tis alright, the Great War against the elves will happen soon enough….

[quiet tulip]

Yea so shut it

[opaque void]

guys real question tho, if someone did crates do u know if its only the comodity quality that matters or also mats u put in?

[pallid burrow]

I know why Winstead is dying

Server worker can't handle the size of srixuns ego

[opaque void]

he kinda goated then no?

like conquerors haki

typeshi

[pallid burrow]

That's not how egos work

[opaque void]

but its like

he is Gol D Roger typeshi

[pallid burrow]

Pirate software type shi

[opaque void]

why isnt he on Shol btw

[pallid burrow]

Ask in his chat

[olive yarrow]

so they could survive

[opaque void]

i dont watch him

[olive yarrow]

pretty sure they went eu so they didnt get gaped

[opaque void]

I mean they did have difficulties vs feds

[pallid burrow]

Bad move stop killing games was an eu thing

[haughty galleon]

If Pirates were on Shol getting murdered by lvl 25 polar players on day 2 at lawless POIs they would quit the game entirely.

[opaque void]

lol

[olive yarrow]

eu is not toxic like na

eu fight then say gg

[opaque void]

well well well

little do you know

[lucid plume]

great question. i think its only commodity quality, however i have not tested it yet tbf

[pallid burrow]

In what world

[opaque void]

yea i am confused, so idk what to do

[olive yarrow]

typing bad words is not real toxicity

[pallid burrow]

Mats

[buoyant apex]

Mats matter, can upgrade the green to blue

[olive yarrow]

eu being able to all become one guild on NA is all i need to see to know they arent as toxic

[pallid burrow]

I've had a heroic crate

[haughty galleon]

It's why the EU's are better in most games. They work together.

[opaque void]

how much it pay

[pallid burrow]

1g 50s joeva to winny

[opaque void]

dont u spend more on mats

[olive yarrow]

even my goat RatIRL has gone soft these days

[opaque void]

fuck if i buy lego comodity and put green/blue mats yall think it will go to heroic or epic

Green would drop to heroic probably

[pallid burrow]

You won't get higher than heroic without heroic fish

The cert is green

dave.

i mean polar needs a headstart, cuz who knows its fair numbers

😛

[rustic jacinth]

Why would I need to cope when y'all can't win a siege, guild wars etc 😂

[lucid plume]

aura, and 22 others in the coalition*

fixed the credit for you.

friends dont make content when youre a pvp guild.

[rustic jacinth]

Average aura experience

[opaque void]

i mean dave isnt wrong tho

[slate obsidian]

is polar even real, or are they just AI slop

[lucid plume]

getting a 23 guild alliance to contest a single guild, while trying to advertise as a competitive guild is the real joke.

[opaque void]

just participate in it bro

[rustic jacinth]

Can we get welfare gear for aura please

[lucid plume]

oh, im not complaining about it. its content and its good for the server, seriously. i just think its funny that aura yap like they do anything on their own, when they dont even log in without supples permission.

[rustic jacinth]

Polar will sell you level boosts for gold but y'all can't afford it lol

[timid onyx]

Look if they chest thump about getting randoms to vote but don't show to siege you already know what it is.

[lucid plume]

right? winstead is a "martial" node, yet a pve guild is the mayor.

[timid onyx]

Anyway back to watching you all yap from the beach

[pallid burrow]

im not even on team polar and i think its embarressing at this point

[lucid plume]

sounds like the alliance is just a bunch of strawmen for votes, and not actually players.

[olive yarrow]

that is actually exactly what it is

(I think)

i dont pay attention tbh

[lucid plume]

XD

[pallid burrow]

aura is so cringe they make me root for polar

and thats sad

[olive yarrow]

@lucid plume do you claim this guy

i claim nobody. im very vocal that i hate everybody equally.

[olive yarrow]

smart move by mugsy ngl

[olive yarrow]

why am i not at the top (8v8 world champion)

It does show up on world map. Yellow circle. It's just small

[raven plover]

hmm, ty, Ill keep looking for it

[crystal stone]

Zoom in a little bit, it can be a real pain but you should see a yellow circle, an in p2 it would be multiple circles depending on rarity, like 3 crossing circles, and it would be somewhere in there.. I usually found em around the edges of the circles on the map.

I haven't done a map yet this playtests, but I would assume it's not crazily different from that

[raven plover]

OH wow, its really hard to see, ty for the tips, yeah you have to zoom in and go tile by tile until you find it, maybe thats why they give you 5 hours to do it lol

[chrome merlin]

WE'RE ALL STRUGGLING, SAVE US INTREPID GODS

[lunar valley]

hi red!

[chrome merlin]

❤️

[quick notch]

Yep! We are looking into it.

[quick notch]

Investigating!

For anyone experiencing lag, please log out and back in. Let me know if that does not resolve things for ya.

[chrome merlin]

merci margaret ❤️

[languid shell]

can intrepid investigate the cost of living irl and fix that asap pls? ty

[quick notch]

I wish. haha.

[drowsy grove]

Can we get some divine intervention to level up a couple anvil settlements? 😇

[prime panther]

aura actually so lame for that

[west shore]

What happened bud

[prime panther]

can u turn on punishments for the node or something for the losing node

[west shore]

Are you upset?

[prime panther]

nah it’s just lame

[west shore]

It's just a game bro

It's not that deep

[prime panther]

I know

and sieges are fun

and it’s lame for yall to not participate

[west shore]

I'm gonna have a blast

[pallid burrow]

i dont think they're taking the yellow/north thing very well

[west shore]

My character is named fatprince

I gotta lock in

[covert frost]

you are a wow player lmfao

a classic one at that

[west shore]

Didn't tm cheat in wow?

[manic crystal]

TMX dont forget to feed DA's, he is still in the basement.

[west shore]

Oh shit DA is in Polar?

Didn't he steal a bunch of money from people and sell the discord for Enveus?

[maiden cave]

yes

[manic crystal]

TMX gave DA safe heaven

[west shore]

I get it TMX saw a fellow scumbag and said I gotchu

[buoyant apex]

The question is safe haven from what?

[manic crystal]

idk, cops?

Someone said it can be felony charges

[sage mulch]

Da waiting to be fed

[buoyant apex]

Maybe.

[gritty rapids]

lol its an alpha and Polar is way ahead of everyone else

Wasn't gonna be a real fight

ik it sucks and ur cool mr Dracoth but this was to be expected

[weak trail]

lol to be fair, there’s no incentives for joining the siege. It won’t even delevel Winstead, so why bother defending at the moment?

[mental ingot]

Hi guys. I'm a level 5 Fighter. Can I participate in the siege?

[buoyant apex]

Ask polar

[mental ingot]

I've never played this game before, do you think I have a chance against esports organization POLAR in this siege? I might pop off low key

[quaint fractal]

howmany phases in a row am i gonna have to hear this at every siege? omg polar has massive advantage we cant play. last 5 sieges LMAO

yall cooked

but its chill

[prime panther]

bro they have like a 26 guild alliance or some shit

with hundreds and hundreds more players than us

[quaint fractal]

last siege nova and aura started shaking in their boots

this is not a change of pace for us lol

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-pikachu-surpised-pikachu-face-pokemon-pikachu-gif-15675575504557184787

aura and tnl guilds dont actually want to pvp yet?

surely next week

[gritty rapids]

no they don't my guy

srix has said multiple times its a coalition to politically deny Polar

[prime panther]

they advertised that shit

[mental ingot]

Give me a couple months to finish leveling my fighter. I'll have all of POLAR downloaded once I'm 25 😈

[prime panther]

wouldnt fighting us be denying us?

[quaint fractal]

no giving us free journey scrolls is denying us

didnt u know

[gritty rapids]

There is a very decent possibility they go out of their way to not go after each other on grind spots but they have no alliance rules in place

[quaint fractal]

only 1k gold and u can get ur entire guild +10

[gritty rapids]

And Polar is way ahead of the entire game rn

Even if they fought a siege, there would barely be a siege anyways

This wasn't gonna be a siege in the first place

[prime panther]

true

[gritty rapids]

This was gonna be a slaughter

Srix just chose to deny ya'll any kind of content at all

[quaint fractal]

i get the denial of content play i do.

[pallid burrow]

Classic wow > TnL

[quaint fractal]

but giving ur enemies bis scrolls is interesting

[gritty rapids]

maybe its just because I don't play the tests but I don't understand

there was no chance for defenders to win

wouldn't ya'll of gotten scrolls anyways?

[mental ingot]

Polar has 100 max level characters signed up for siege. oso doesn't even have 100 hours of AOC played. We are not the same

[prime panther]

sieges are genuinely the most fun content in the game

[gritty rapids]

that doesn't mean anything when Polar has a ridiculous core way ahead of everyone else man

That's not opinion, that's fact

Ya'll dunked the early game of p3 launch

[pallid burrow]

still fun to pvp

[manic crystal]

Respectfully disagree.

[gritty rapids]

its not fun to pvp when you're getting slaughtered

Maybe it is to you, I guess, but to most people, even me, who doesn't care if I lose, nah

[pallid burrow]

you'd get slaughtered even if you were level 25 with that attitude

[gritty rapids]

lol you have no idea who I am and you're making conjecture

Your lack of knowledge is fine, I haven't done anything to prove otherwise to you, but I have hands

[prime panther]

how r ppl supposed to get better if they dont try it

[mental ingot]

POLAR rushed to max level just so they can kill level 10s. They don't want real competition

[pallid burrow]

limit testing is a thing y ep

[prime panther]

srix should at least let ppl who actually want to do the siege play instead of just having lvl 1s with toxic names

[gritty rapids]

Most of 'em don't need to get better because they already know the game and know how to fight, they need the gear and levels to compete

[pallid burrow]

doubt

[gritty rapids]

You can doubt if you want but most of Aura's roster has been playing aoc

[prime panther]

not true, even when polar had worse gear we played better and won

[gritty rapids]

Supple mostly hasn't, but they aren't bad

[prime panther]

they need work

[gritty rapids]

against who

[prime panther]

aura/purple/anvil coalition thingy

[gritty rapids]

when

[manic crystal]

What

[prime panther]

end of p2.5

[manic crystal]

Aura/Puple/Anvil?

what

[covert frost]

polar's pvp experience consists of bullying lowbies on an unreleased game 😂

[gritty rapids]

Dracoth I trust you but idk what situation ur talking about

[prime panther]

when they sieged windansea node

[gritty rapids]

Polar has outgeared or outnumbered most fights in the game

[prime panther]

not at the end of p2.5

we all quit

and they didnt

[haughty galleon]

Dont make me pull out the screenshot

[gritty rapids]

So...defender advantage, as Polar has brought up most of the time?

[gritty rapids]

pull it out, I'm going off what I've seen him say

If I'm wrong, mb

[pallid burrow]

they need the practice promise

[manic crystal]

How did polar had worse gear in 2.5?

legit curious...

[haughty galleon]

That's what we thought. But it turns out we were attacking against bots. After defending for an hour in Windansea that shit was def harder

[haughty galleon]

Because 99% of us stopped playing like 3 weeks in lol. Every guild on the attacking side that siege was still playing regularly.

[gritty rapids]

idk who this is

or the context

[gritty rapids]

in the context of aoc most of polar, at least the yappers, have hands

[pallid burrow]

your average aura member, context he died and got mad

[gritty rapids]

As a person who shitposts in chat becuase he doesn't play, as far as I know, most of Aura does not have hands

[pallid burrow]

its true people that lose to me do not have hands

[manic crystal]

how did other's have better gear? shit was capped lol

[gritty rapids]

ur a skaven main ur dogwater

!!

(no idk but I will make it priority to fight you and test this fact when I play)

[pallid burrow]

i play like a skaven so yes very much dogwater

[gritty rapids]

so rogue main

or bard

[pallid burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-delonge-blink182-wtf-meme-what-the-heck-first-date-gif-25383351

who plays dune

even a huge dune fanboy such as myself cant bring myself to play that hot mess

[olive yarrow]

dune was cool till they ruined the deep desert

[pallid burrow]

so they brian herberted the deep desert

[haughty galleon]

You escaped Ashes only for Dune to do the exact same thing. Many people took back to back L's playing Ashes and Dune back to back shit was funny.

[gritty rapids]

Wasn't Dune plagued by hackers tho as far as I heard

[prime panther]

was cool till they did the intrepid on the lawless zojne

[prime panther]

😔

[zealous rune]

Anyone else just seeing dark black in Winstead when you first log in?

[haughty galleon]

@maiden lichen The fuck did we do? lmao random ass stray.

polar made grems hit for 8k 😔

[maiden lichen]

Did you get got too?

[haughty galleon]

my lvl 1 horse did

[split zodiac]

Ban polar tbh

[maiden lichen]

I dont get it. Firebrand hit me for over 16000 the other day when I poked him for 1 damage.

[gritty rapids]

Ban Lloyd specifically

something about him is sus

[maiden lichen]

Firebrand may have overreacted

[haughty galleon]

Honestly though I've not been hit by anything that hard. Your character might be bugged.

Not even lvl 30 3 star mobs have hit me for 8k

[olive yarrow]

wake me up for season 6 when aura and polar have their enemies to lovers arc to fight off the invading guilds of vera

[maiden lichen]

I know it crit me but still 8300 damage is insane when Firebrand hit me for 16k when I poked him with a stick

[sudden marsh]

were you under level? I remember a note somewhere mentioning scaling power with underlevelling etc.

[buoyant apex]

From what I remember scaling was either toned down or removed

[maiden lichen]

Idk. I didn't have time to check. I jumped off my wolf. Hit W it came into scene. One shot me, one shot my wolf, Blink reset. By the time it killed me and my wolf I looked up at the top to see what level and the mob bar was already gone. Most likley it was but again, firebrand hit me for 16k a Grem shouldn't hit for 8300 even with levels that different.

Loaded into a building in miraleth, it didnt spawn me at the emberspring

bug reported in game as well

Server worker 54 having massive issues atm

[agile prairie]

pretty much from lionshold to miraleth server 33 lagging

i had to jump off the same rock like 10 times..

[quick notch]

Roger! Shall let folks know.

[quick notch]

Thanks!

[umbral hinge]

Sw: 21 lag spiking on and off

[quick notch]

Team was already aware and investigating.

[fervent mulch]

Send help

[umbral hinge]

Great thanks.

[fervent mulch]

at this point you are going to have to call a debt collector for what's happening to me

[junior arch]

Can we not have citizen commissions be dailies if half of them are bugged 🥹

[prime panther]

dirty POLAR! making the damb mob do 8k health! first you level faster than everyone else and now this? its getting RIDICULOUS!

[lusty stream]

ez upgrades

[pearl ether]

Yo coming back from P1. Game not a laggy mess anymore?

[frail matrix]

Have the powers at be made any decisions on which node is getting what buildings? And are we still using the old shol discord?

[rotund sky]

The town will have all tables to JM

[frail matrix]

Ah, didn't realize that. Thank you

[rotund sky]

It's a big change, ultimately should have capacity for all to be JM in town so no careful organisation needed this time

[trim girder]

No way to have all to JM. only 12 plots to build on and some of those will eventually need to be housing and other things like trade bureau which is being built atm

[rotund sky]

Pretty sure the passive buildings now support multiple tables

[trim girder]

They always have, but you have to choose what is built. it's in the design of the game. no 1 node will have that many tables

[dusky scarab]

Make carphin a lawless zone so people pvp and leave = less lag

Ez fix

[rotund sky]

It used to be if you had 2 JM tables requiring a trade bureau each, you needed 2 bureaus. Now it's 1

[gleaming meteor]

won't this just let people farm world bosses every day on reset?

[tidal badger]

anyone else having issue getting into game

Yah, it'll affect everyone on Shol. They are working on it.

[drowsy grove]

It's 11:30pm in San Diego. So did we wake you up or the baby?

[quick notch]

No estimate yet. We are going to resolve it as quickly as possible.

no it wasn;t even 24 hours

but the rollback that happened mightve messed with it

think it lasted for like 12 hours or so

[unborn igloo]

any guild tried to move its storage from a location to another ? is it possible ?

[proper heron]

Did JM stations come with T4 town?

[velvet cave]

No they need to be built

[olive yarrow]

I think crafting feels amazing what are you unhappy about?

[carmine quiver]

Go farm me 500 heroic grade rubys and get back with me…

[olive yarrow]

huh why would i farm stuff for you

[torpid hill]

• most of the recipes are bugged and unusable
• processing fees + vendor mats are an INSANE gold sink
• vendor mats don't make any sense, it only takes up inventory space.. we already have a gold sink with processing fees
• processing/crafting stations are split in the anvils between the 2 sides of the mountain, which makes the crafting tutorial really hard
• mat costs for T2 and T3 stuff (which also scales up processing fees and vendor mat costs) are insane
• (not crafting i guess) static cluster rarity is back, so people are spamming legendary mats

[torpid hill]

[pallid burrow]

Crafting is a rich mans profession

Go chop my trees for me I'll give you a few copper

[whole night]

Crafting should be a considerable investment... at later levels.

Give everyone cheaper crafting in the beginning to get their balls rolling, and the economy started, and then we don't run into massive inflation and RMT right out the gate. Or at least, have a way to combat it.

There's no reason it should take dozens of gold to level a skill up to 10. 10 to 20, fine, whatever, but right out gate is brutal, even by Intrepid standards

[pallid burrow]

Novice is cheap

[static summit]

so are apprentice level 13s.

[olive yarrow]

I think crafting should actually be harder then it is rn

[pallid burrow]

Than

[olive yarrow]

its too easy right now to get good items rn

[pallid burrow]

Everyone wants to be a crafter but they don't want to put the effort in

Just go full gatherer if you think it costs too much

[olive yarrow]

exactly all these lazy idiots just want things handed to them

back in my day we farmed our items by hand

[zinc pumice]

agreed

[pallid burrow]

I mean I specifically focused on one section of the market and it's not a problem

People are trying to do it all

[zinc pumice]

I really think you should really only have 1-2 slots of gear equipped from a level 1-25 experience

[olive yarrow]

honestly leveling is way too fast as well

[empty frost]

gear farming should only start at max level tbh

[olive yarrow]

it should take a few months to hit 25

[pallid burrow]

We agree on something

[zinc pumice]

yeah, maybe a year+ to hit 60?

[empty frost]

i belive in an interview steven said like 400 hrs for a "hardcore player" to hit max on launch

honestly sounds good

[zinc pumice]

400 really isnt enough

look at mmorpgs, when do people quit? once they hit max level

here is what we need to do - have an extremely long leveling experience, offer a paid battlepass for a 5% xp buff. ez content

wellll you could solve that by giving clerics a % xp resurrection and have it be a long cd

prestige your character

all your gear breaks too

If destruction was in do you not think there would have been a bit more of a resistance to the defenders being a bunch of level 1s?

[olive yarrow]

bro if destruction was in the game people would have actually leveled

the game is playing out according to the current game state

see what i mean, all this low tier rage bait flying around is crazy

[quaint fractal]

i didnt know facts was rage baiting

[noble elk]

Not going to lie I'm a bit surprised at how casual people are taking this phase. Guess there weren't enough changes for people to care enough.

[olive yarrow]

I dIdNt KnOw FaCtS wAs RaGe BaItInG

[quaint fractal]

i mean its literally just tier 4 node right

[olive yarrow]

the game is getting better but its not a big enough change for me to dump hundreds of hours into

[noble elk]

And crates and crafting and qnvils

[quaint fractal]

im at the point that new zones dont move the needle

[olive yarrow]

new zones bring next to nothing to the game

[quaint fractal]

especially ai generated zones without the fleshed outness of riverlands

[olive yarrow]

theres still nothing to do once you hit 25

[noble elk]

It would have if it was equivalent to riverlands like they originally said

[quaint fractal]

dodgers of this phase once again are winning. some things never change

[olive yarrow]

surely i hit lvl 11 this phase

surely

[noble elk]

November going to be lit

[quaint fractal]

i am estactic to see summoner mob AI

gonna be alot of fun expermienting with all the funkiness

[noble elk]

Should only have to wait a couple weeks before it hits ptr

[pallid burrow]

The mob ai is the make or break for it

God status or trash can there is no in-between

[pearl ether]

game good or bad?

[noble elk]

Game good

Just don't sink too many hours into it

Still lacking in content

But what is here is decent

[buoyant zodiac]

Game good. Game alpha. Game not complete. Game still fun

[charred patio]

For sure a good game in this state, people are trippin.. does anyone remember FFXIV Alpha?

[noble elk]

Alpha or full launch?

Both were shit

[fervent mulch]

Does anyone remember FFXIV before realm reborn lol

[noble elk]

ARR saved it

[zealous rune]

I mean, it was a traumatic experience, but yes

[west shore]

Phase got pushed back and fucked a bunch of us

Also, funny watching you guys mald

[quaint fractal]

shouldve just pushed phase back to halloween

[noble elk]

Ya I wasted a week off work that was supposed to be for grinding now I'm lvl 16

[west shore]

I'm currently level 13

[lost patrol]

Im going to find you and give you a smack

[west shore]

I haven't been able to play

Work kicking my ass

[lost patrol]

Same

Am level 15

[west shore]

I had the whole week planned before they pushed it

[sudden flame]

Don't wipe it when you guys lose, just delevel it down to 2 or 3 if you can't win a siege you dont get to have the town

[gray smelt]

Mannn that work life always getting in the way of things

[olive yarrow]

thats fine when the systems are ready to support it LMAO

just because yall want sieges to matter rn doesnt mean they will lmao

[sudden flame]

dodging the first t4 siege during a test for the devs to gather data denying content in a live game is one thing, denying testing during an alpha is just being soft

[olive yarrow]

why would anyone want to do that what

i didnt even want to level why would i want to participate in your siege

[sudden flame]

Then you don't deserve the town not a hard concept

[olive yarrow]

why?

youre not making sense

when has ownership of the town in the game every had to do with pvp or sieges

[sudden flame]

Three "hardcore" pvp guilds allied up and you guys can't field nothing but lvl 1s being cringe

Normally you're pretty smart and have good takes Oof but this is not the hill to die on

[dark monolith]

Someone needs to bottle up some of this whining for later, it will make a good vintage.

[olive yarrow]

I like you but just because people are playing the phase casually and yall went hardcore doesnt mean we have to go eat shit in a siege lol

if sieges mattered everyone would have actually leveled and prepped for something like this

[sudden flame]

you lose nothing participating, we just make our 1k gold back and more from rewards

[olive yarrow]

bruh getting gaped dry and wasting an hour of my time is not losing nothing lmao

if yall really wanna test a t4 siege get them to set one up on the ptr and fight level 25s with even gear im sure that would give some great data

[spice bobcat]

If you don’t want to participate in a siege don’t. Let others sign up rather than lvl 1’s

[olive yarrow]

nobody is barring anyone from signing up

[sudden flame]

tell srix to kick the level 1s

[olive yarrow]

cant

interface is bugged

already recorded and reported

testing is fun

[sudden flame]

Weird working for us

[dark monolith]

What a shame lol

[olive yarrow]

will try again when srix is off work

[lost patrol]

Polar is more like the drunk uncle making a mess at the holiday get-together

Showing up to someone else’s house and causing a mess

[dark monolith]

Tell him to take his time. And if he ends up getting stuck in trafic for hours, somehow I doubt anyone (at least anyone worth listening to) will mind.

[west shore]

I'll be online

My level 1 bout to go crazzzy

[nimble pine]

Though I find the majority of Polar players insufferable, this Coot guy has a point.

Dodging the siege is some pussyfooter shit

[sudden flame]

81 days to refund Supple/OSO

[sudden flame]

least they could do is give the guilds who wanna see content defend

[west shore]

What guilds are that

[nimble pine]

✋

[sudden flame]

Purple/Anvil/Cats/etc would all prob enjoy doing it

[quaint fractal]

can easily fill a hundred 25s on other side

[sudden flame]

More than you guys putting level 1s in

[west shore]

Unfortunately

[quaint fractal]

but its chill i enjoy journey scrolls anyways

[nimble pine]

Some of my guys signed up for defend within 30 seconds of the declaration

[west shore]

Cool

[quaint fractal]

i want to gamba on enchanting system tbh so win win. not like aura defending a siege would change the 6 min out come

end of the day nothing changed

[west shore]

So why cry

If it doesn't matter

[quaint fractal]

have i been crying

sry

[west shore]

Yes

[quaint fractal]

forgive me mr lvl 10

[west shore]

Your whole guild has

[quaint fractal]

oh?

[west shore]

I'm getting dms and I'm not even playing lmao

[nimble pine]

To see little to no effort put fourth by an entire alliance is pitiful, you'd hand these polar kids another W and deny the testing of a t4 node that a ton of testers saved 1k gold for. The content is for everyone, we are all testers here. We have more in common than we have differences, remember that.

[quaint fractal]

stop bragging how popular u are pls

[sudden flame]

Swap situations with Aura having gear advantage and we have to defend against it i still take us 10 outta 10 times acting like other guilds weren't affected by the delay is wild cope

[west shore]

What cope

[quaint fractal]

u launched a siege in a phase we didnt play for 60 days and u lost in 6 mins

pls stop typey

[west shore]

When was this?

[quaint fractal]

dunno u prob wernt there as u play liek 2 hours a week with ur spare dad gamer time

[west shore]

Brother I have been level 25 before you every phase prior

Lmao

[quaint fractal]

ur guild insisted that makes u a loser tho

unluck sikhaze unluck

[nimble pine]

None of this crap matters, what matters right now is theres a siege in 5 hours and the community wants it to be seen through on both ends.

[quaint fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/moving-goalposts-goalposts-changing-requirements-gif-25214446

[west shore]

Lmao

[quaint fractal]

is the fact u were waged up for this launch bothering u sikhaze

[west shore]

Malding because you can't get what you want

[quaint fractal]

because u are rambling in ere rn

[west shore]

https://tenor.com/view/cartman-south-park-tears-of-unfathomable-sadness-yummy-gif-8736604

[nimble pine]

Denying content because youre weak is not a flex

[west shore]

I been waged up homie, I had the whole week off before it got pushed

[west shore]

Polar logged off for a week

When we spammed war decks on them in phase 2

Idgaf

[nimble pine]

Bro im not in that guild i dont care

[quaint fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[west shore]

Bro your not in aura either

What's your point

[quaint fractal]

news flash sikhaze noone gives a f about either side

frankley i think the majority people on both sides dont care either

[west shore]

Yet he's typing at me

Loo

[nimble pine]

Denying content because youre weak is not a flex! Its pussyfooter bullshit man, no matter who does it.

Defend the siege like a chad

or hide in your basement like a chud

[west shore]

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

I'll play the game how I want

But thanks for your opinion

[nimble pine]

Yea i mean its just my opinion man

[west shore]

Removed us from their tournament last phase and wouldn't join ours

[nimble pine]

https://tenor.com/view/larry-david-curb-your-enthusiasm-wow-whoa-omg-gif-4391060119222963383

Quit using peoples names in the community keep shit talk in game or respectfully go touch grass

[west shore]

Ahh

Hence why I'm level 13

Tbh

I wish the beef wasn't like this

It is what it is

[nimble pine]

You could settle it in game

With some sort of "war"

Maybe a SIEGE

[empty frost]

^

[quiet tulip]

Stop fucking crying

[empty frost]

hes siege ready
