Had the same RMT on Goblin spambot shouting

Damn, I thought I was making progress. Got the loading screen at least.

To switch gears a bit, I saw some posts saying Class balance was fucked. Can anyone elaborate on that?

Church is the only person I know saying it right now. I'd wait for him to stop playing.

Came across an interesting bug. Or maybe it's my computer. I don't know. I went afk and I came back and my camera wouldn't stop spinning. So I logged out, still wouldn't stop spinning in character select. Restarted computer and it's STILL spinning. Wtf lol

[luxv]

If anything the classes are too balanced as in there is very little difference between classes. At least DPS classes. It's almost just a matter of what kind of skill animation you prefer to look at.

[SephYuyX]

Any ingame way to take SSs of CSs? Or do I have to use some external tool?

[Katlan]

I've been noticing about half the posters in the 3102 are 1st time posters on the OF.

Interesting.

I've had a beta account since p2, and I've never posted on the OF until now, and in that theead

Is it your mouse or gamepad, did you try unplugging or trying a different slot? Sounds like a mouse/gamepad issue but you restarted so not sure.

edit: tired derp

I need a fuckin' login bot to even play when I inevitably get booted off. It takes like 30 minutes of spamming login to get past the 1017 error and actually get queued up (Excalibur).

If he means PVP. They did say that it'll be unbalanced to begin with.

I don't recall him saying PVE or PVP. Church speaks cryptically anyway, so the best bet is just to call him out and wait for him to elaborate.

Any class imbalance I have seen so far is MRD is so fucking good for dungeons compared to GLA. Their dmg output/aoe is fantastic. I am uncertain if things change for GLA later in levels but right now MRD dominates GLD.

[ronin sparthos]

If Tanaka were here this would have been solved already.

Anyway, my list of bugs has been:
-Random crashing during zones.
-Runtime errors after using random skills.
-Login 'world full' prompts without being sent to a queue.
-Music suddenly cutting out which isn't resolved without a reboot.
-Unable to access LS/FC after error 9000ing during the ACN 15 quest. Was able to do it once and failed but since then nope.
-Lag on quest completion. Green checkmarks take around 10s to update to a ! signifying a quest continuation or nothing at all.

You were right that was it lol. FALSE ALARM.

I just find it weird. I just went afk and it was like that >.>

As a healer I prefered GLA in the dungeons of the main storyline. Our GLA was never in danger. With MRD I sometimes had to press cure over and over as fast as it was available and could barely keep up on some minibosses. Seems like this would be a good balance depending on whether you needed more offense or defense.

Marauder is better in the first few, but even later at 30+ you can see Gladiator will be a superior tank -if- they add any type of difficult content.

Marauder wakes adds to get hate, takes more damage, etc.

Even later, with less heals to dish out with GLA, it seems a good conjurer can dps more and more than make up for gladiator's lack in damage. Seems like it even out-dps's the marauder in the end

So especially in larger man content where the damage of marauder over gladiator in a multi-party battle is unnoticable, marauder will just be a tank that takes more damage, needs more resources and can't keep hate wthout waking slept adds.

Hope they change this, cause levelling Marauder to 35 in phase 3 looked gloomier by the level.

[Buttons]

As a healer GLA is easier to heal, MRD HP can take a sudden drop meaning you have to spamm 3-4 cures to keep them alive. But both tanks worked well in raids so far from what I could see.

[Siya]

On the topic of tanks, me tankin like a boss.

Spoiler: show

[Lucavi]

All this Mrd talkin' is making me hungry for my axe. Goddammit, I'm ready to CHOP SOMETHING.
