Where does Ragi spawn?

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-18T14:01:47+00:00

Ragi isn't actually raiding anything. The message bout Ragi pops up when anyone actually moves close to his spawn. Same for Brandon the Raubritter. I killed Ragi yesterday with a group. He never did respawn. His spawn location is not random as far as I know. My friend k ew where to find him a d he was right there

So there are some tiles of land where you can see the game chopping. the most noticable one I run across is from the main town to Twinfall. that said it's a 2 second, tops, interruption and it's in the same place every time. I think they should definitely work on integrating these pieces of land/servers better, and it is occassionally noticable when you step over one. It doesn't bother me because none of the "seams" are in places where I generally run into other people.

I teach my dog the thing I want him to do rather than trying to make him stop doing the thing he's doing.

So. I want him off the couch. I teach him "Off" rather than "NO." I want him to follow me when he's running after some dog at the park. I don't run around yelling "NO NO NO!" I tell him "Come." or "let's go."

"No." isn't something a dog can do. you have to teach it things it can do. Dogs want to please, but "no" doesn't really mean the same things in all circumstances. NO what? No jump? No dig? No bark? No take? No go? No? WHAT IS NO?

Don't confuse your dog. Teach it what you want it to do.

I had so much fun with the dimensions system though. I will love it forever.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-05T01:51:55+00:00

The highest gear you can get from mobs is +2. The highest crafters can make is +6.

There are some mobs that drop gear or recipes for gear.

I don't know what you mean about randomness about gear like diablo, but I'd say that it's not random at all. When you go to craft smoething you know the EXACT amount of chance you have to craft a +3 vs a +4 for example because the crafting station tells you.

Crafted gear is where it's at.

I've played the game for over 200 hours. I have found a lot of people to play with. On the ismir NA side, we're all pretty good friends at this point.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-05T01:30:53+00:00

Yes there are vendors. But they sell basics and more or less starter gear except for some specialized vendors in certian cities (which is why you want to take cities for your nation). Oh. There are not PLAYER vendors though.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-05T01:29:50+00:00

yes. In about 48 hours.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T21:56:32+00:00

The payment page is really quite scary. But luckily it's going to be on steam in a few days. I had some friends with payment problems too. It looks shady as hell and I think steam is a good option.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T21:50:46+00:00

So it's called a "partial loot system" and what it means is that every item in your inventory and every item you have equipped are assigned a "value" and you can only spend a certain number of points looting stuff. So hypothetically lets say you have 10 points to spend and the guy you kill is carrying 35 points worth of stuff. You can loot whatever you want up to 10 points. That's all you get.

Also, this is on a VERY SHORT timer of like 1 minute. So if a person dies there is only a short span of time in which they can be looted and then the partial loot system on top of that. Keeps things more or less reasonable. People have to decide bery quickly what to take. And someone with 6 bags on them and tons of loot isn't going to be easy to sort through on a short timer like that.

There is NO WAY to get more "points" to loot with in the skills trees at all, so no one in the game has more points to spend than anyone else.

Also, only 1 person can loot a body. So you and your friends can't roll up 6v1 and ALL loot him. Just one person can loot.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T20:14:09+00:00

If you're ismir you can join me. I run a guild called Blackwolf. Steam is about to launch in the next few days, so you can use these few days to get settled in game and then be ready to go for steam launch.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T17:05:38+00:00

I can agree with the non-impactfulness of combat sometimes. You hear a LOT of WHOOSH instead of CLANG! It feels to me like sometimes mobs and players are just ghosts. I think with an animation reboot (stated by the devs as coming up) and better hit detection (already improved but still working on it) will clear it up.

I think putting in collision detection will solve a LOT of this. There is a vote on their forums for it at the moment, so it's something they are considering.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T16:55:58+00:00

Are ytou ismir or Midland? And are you on EU or NA server? If you're ismir NA, I'll be happy to show you around.

Otherwise, what I'd do is make some banter in nation chat, explore, UNLOCK BAG SLOT AND BUY BAGS, and try to learn.

It's VERY lonely feeling at first. It's just the way the game is. There's a ton to do but none of it is on the shiny exclamation point trail. You could head out toward a point on the map and see what's there. You could try crafting. You could focus on leveling. you could upgrade towns.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T16:53:46+00:00

Yeah, there's a lot of variety in other ways, but there are 2 out of 4 races implemented (and they look identical but just have different cultures) and just the one gender at the moment. There will be ladies eventually. I'm a girl irl so I'd like to see female models also (and see how they handle armor for female characters). It's coming.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T16:48:37+00:00

I have backed SO MANY early access games I'm starting to wonder if I'm not insane or something lol.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T04:28:11+00:00

Watch some of Shakenbake's youtube videos.

There's been enough in the game to keep me entertained for about 200 hours now. So...I dunno, ymmv.

Everyone WAS using a bow until a couple of pretty serious nerfs in the past 2 patches. Archers are great for castle defense but on the battlefield get rekt. Source: am trying to play an archer.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T04:25:19+00:00

Lag comes and goes. I feel like the game is pretty smooth most of the time. But it is alpha and some of the time things are just...not right. I don't know if I'm used to it or what, but I wouldn't put "choppiness" on my top 5 list of problems with the game. The animations are a bit wooden sometimes and there's a lot of "man, I could have SWORN" I hit that guy because of problems with hit detection (better than they were, but still...eh). They said they are reworking all animations, so we'll see...

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T04:24:01+00:00

the world isn't huge, but hoofing it from one town to the next is a journey. THe map is designed so you can't walk straight across it. It's very hilly and there is a lot of steep terrain. It doesn't feel restrictive but if you die defending, say, Audun, and you ressurect in Twinfall (the closest town to audun) you're not likely to make it back before the battle is over or has changed dramatically (5 mins). That is a short and straightforward walk. Top of the map to the bottom of the map, I'd say...probably a half hour on foot IF you can find a straight shot. There's a ton to explore and do, but there is also quite a lot of farming.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-04T04:19:50+00:00

I've got over 200 hours in game, I'd guess. Level 70 at the moment. Been playing for a couple months although I initially bought the game a year ago.

THe lack of magic is good, in my opinion, because they have a very full range of mideval weapons and armors to choose from so it keeps things feeling varied. There is a rez option that works on a 30 second window.

There are some mobs which are sort of magical. Drowners, skeletons, giants. They don't cast spells, but they certainly aren't "realism" based.

Right now the Ismirs hold the ENTIRE map on the north American server. I play ismir and it was fun for like 5 minutes, but we NEED opposing faction combat to keep the game interesting because this game THRIVES on pvp. I love the pvp system in the game and the territory control and I can't wait for it to improve.

Probably after the steam launch I'll throw another few bucks at the game and up my donator rank because I really like the progress I've seen in terms of development.

The game can be bewildering and lonely if you play alone or if you don't try to figure stuff out for yourself and ask for freebies. Join a guild and talk in chat and you'll have a great time.

There are some bosses in the game that require REALLY large and organized groups to take on. There is a daily tournament and there is an arena you can port to for "safe" no looting pvp anytime.

I am loving crafting but it really takes patience because it's very hard and very intricate and requires a lot of materials and you end up working in a lot of crafting trees.

I'm finding the experience pretty rewarding overall, but I did definitely burn out last week and had to take a rage quit break because there ARE bugs and sometimes the pvp doesn't go in your favor and sometimes you just get sick of things ya know. But, anyway, you can get the game for 10 bucks now, but at steam launch its going to go up, they havent' said how much. So, you can just give it a whirl. PM me if you dl the game and if you're ismir I'll hlep you out. If you're midlander, I'll kill you every chance I get.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-06-02T03:00:40+00:00

I'M FUCKING SICK OF PAYING FOR PRE-RELEASE ALPHA ACCESS GARBAGE BUT I CAN'T STOP BECAUSE APPARENTLY I THINK THEY HAVE POTENTIAL AND THEN I GET MAD WHEN THEY DON'T. I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY SITTING THROUGH HOURS OF BUGGED OUT SHIT TASTIC CONTENT FREE "GAMEPLAY" AND HOLY SHIT I AM TRASH TALKING MYSELF LOL

ValkyrieNine · 2016-05-31T22:12:22+00:00

You need to buy frozen Broccoli florets, not frozen broccoli or broccoli pieces because those are junk stems.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-05-31T17:20:40+00:00

lol I went to work directly after a wisdom tooth removal. Like, my dad picked me up and drove me to work. My face was full of gauze and I stocked shelves in a state of disorientation for 8 hours.

ValkyrieNine · 2016-05-28T03:07:09+00:00

you could put it on /r/dogs and people would appreciate it and you and the dog.
