I rolled on Mindflayer. Name is Sturgges Hammerfall. Dwarven Tank

That isn't how you type names. It needs to be Character Name@account name.

Message Shiyo@myaki for invite to BG guild on mindflayer, need more people still.

What's up with the account process for this game? I made an account on the site, downloaded the setup and installed the game, went to log in and couldn't because my account was invalid...even though I was logged into their webpage. When I clicked "register" on the game window I get a 404 page..

My PVP observations:

- Cash shop mounts give a gigantic advantage in PVP, basically game breaking and if you have multiple people with them you pretty much get a free win. Res - > mount to enemies base and repeat forever. Also lets you respond to attacks MUCH more quickly for defending, it's really game breaking.

- Level scaling does not work, at level 48 I was scaled up to level 49, but my skill stats were scaled to that of a level 39 or less. My ice knife tooltip said 4k outside, but inside it was 1.6k. After I dinged 49, my tooltips scaled properly inside and outside, and I was able to actually damage people. The scaling being this fucked means you actually do no damage to anyone, take tons of damage, and are a completely useless player on your team unless you're x9.

- Class balance doesn't seem that bad in the upper brackets, rogues can actually be kited but multiple rogues on you is still pretty impossible to play your character.

- Damage is low enough that skill matters, love it.

- CC's need DR, you can CC someone 100% to 0% with as little as 2 classes, that shouldn't be possible and encourages cheesy builds and boring gameplay.

- The map I get 95% of the time at level 49 bracket is too small and encourages zerg fights in the middle. The only way to get past the middle is by going around up top, the map needs to be bigger with more nodes to encourage splitting up more and not 4-5 manning middle 24/7.

- Rogues silence ability needs to have a shorter duration

- The healing potion needs to fade when taking damage

- Need an ability to kick AFK people

Gah, since I'm not 15 yet, or purchased one of the packs ( won't be able to till next check ) I cannot send a tell -_-

Haven't noticed the level scaling shit yet, but I agree that mounts in pvp are stupid and need to be unusable in pvp.

And yeah two control wizards can fuck me up pretty badly but while they're doing that they're left completely vulnerable themselves so as long as you're actively communicating with your team it should be ok. Like with all PVP games, having an entire team that you regularly play with and use voice chat with is going to be ideal, nothing surprising there.

You can add me to your friend list. Add shiyo@myaki.

Yeah scaling is completely broken. No clue how it works (or how it's supposed to work, lol) but noticed exact same shit. Did 400 or so with my encounters at 48 and got instaraped. Then at 49 I'm popping 2-4k encounters and destroying every class 1v1 (prob cause they're scaled, GG). My class is apparently complete shit in PvP, sure doesn't seem that way!

Too bad it's impossible to carry bads in this. Seems like every game we get horrible players who zerg mid or afkers, whilst enemy team is 5 chucklefucks running around on spiders.

[Zzsark]

Is it just me or are the PvP sets complete shit for TRs?

[Kuishen]

Haven't looked at them, where can you buy those? Cause I've been wondering how to spend this glory but been too lazy to go figure it out.

[Kiarax]

Trade of Blades or something. It's east of the market. 3-4k per armour iirc, weps are 5.2k~.

Might give this a shot over the weekend, what are tank classes like to play and generally around what level do you start getting interesting abilities?

There's only 1 tanking class, it's Guardian Fighter. I think they get their shield block/bash at lv2. I haven't seen any MMO with neverwinter's style of tanking, maybe the upcoming elder's scroll online, but it's really fun to tank in this game. Same thing with healing.

Also, if your class doesnt get weapon easily, pvp/gears are really good. pvp weapons are the equivalent of T2 weapons, which is currently best in slot. I cant say about gear sets for other classes, but for cleric, it's really good as well.

[Insanecyclone]

Mez, Trickster Rouge. Probably will make a great warrior or w/e it's called later because I fucking love 2h swords.

GWF by classification(defender) is also a tank. They have a tank tree to do so. They are much more of an AoE type tank(great for adds and such) which I think makes it seem like they are an off tank. They can main tank though with a proper set up at the later half of the game. Their style of tanking is probably closer to a warrior tank in tera with heavier armor(scale vs leather). Mobility is key and I feel like I have plenty of it.

Also their special ability unstoppable gives a 25-50% damage reduction tends to be very easy to keep up.

What is with this games community? I've never played a game where people are so silent in dungeons, and completely ignore you when you talk directly to them. What causes this? It's so confusing, I've never seen something like it in my entire life.

[Takiwaki]

Its a huge turn off for me, especially when you are on a boss getting owned over and over and people dont want to even communicate to come up with a plan....

Also all the armor looks the same =/

[Shiyo]

At level60 people seriously don't talk? In EPIC DUNGEONS designed to be difficult and require teamwork? @_@? Do you know what causes this? I've never seen it before, EVER.

[Kuishen]

Time to start kicking people that don't communicate. Also doing Epic dungeons with any amount of randoms seems like a terrible idea.

[Madeline]

Yeah I've looked the same for the whole 36 or whatever levels. Getting a bit old, but I guess they plan to milk the cow for cash there at some point. I haven't looked into it. At some point I did get a cool cape! But I've out leveled it and now I look the same as I did at level 1.

Far as dungeons go, I actually out leveled MD before we managed to kill it. I don't fucking even at some of the people refusing to talk and just dropping without a word to anyone.

If Idris or w/e isn't any better I'm probably just gonna stop. Half the fun for me is in dungeons and none of the PUGs so far have been able to do very well cause they won't communicate. The lowest we got MD was 20% and that was with me tanking it on TR. God damn tanks refuse to speak to learn anything. Frustrating.

[Shiyo]

The only fun I have in this game is difficult dungeons, skirmishes, mini-dungeons(They get incredibly rare past like level 35..annoying as hell ; ; 1 per zone the past 2 zones I've done AT THE END OF THE ZONE and they were very short/not many secrets), foundry quests and PVP when it's scaled properly(aka when you're x9 or else gl hf being scaled to 20 levels lower for some reason).

[Shiyo]

They're adding 10 man raids to this?
