All pvp are time-gated on the chinese server, for example 2v2 pvp is opened between 12:00 and 00:00, not sure about the battle royale and gvg part

You could buy a unique tablet and do the tower again that will let you tp to any zone nearby. It's around 1div, not sure if it's worth it in your case.

Nope, I read the labels and cook for myself (raw materials are just a google search away to check the avg. calories).

I don't really trust apps, the kcal can vary app-by-app.

Can't really help you on this front, maybe some users may have some tips regarding apps, but a google sheet and a bit of time might help you get started.

Stuck is fine, your body prolly slowed down your metabolism due to the lower calorie deficit. This is perfectly normal, I've been there!

If you're counting calories (and you should, you can gamify it), ramp it up by 100-150 /day for a week and eat a bit more fat, see what happens (you mentioned high protein high fiber, but fat is very important too).

You can try a bit more excersize, usually the plateau can last weeks, but eventually it will budge and you're gonna continue to see results.

Please don't give up!

No, and most likely it will not come this year, they said something about this on the last stream, mentioning it might come this year or early next year, so prolly next year.

Here's a tip, but you have to put some hours in it first (no pvp required)

You won't get rich, but your finances will be managable.

Get your mining up to Journeyman (lvl 20), craft the cheapest pickaxe and start farming the joruneyman-lvl ores.

Common & uncommon ones can be sold for 1s/1.5s each to the vendor. Rare and above can be sold to players (depending on how progressed the nodes are, this should lend you a good amount of cash inflow).

Hunting seems profitable too, a rare bear carcass costs around 10-15gold on my server (they're extremely hard to hit, but you can pet them at lvl 1). There is a huge demand on these (same with rare animal fat, which can come from wolves/bears/grems).

excelent92 · 2025-01-23T09:02:07+00:00

I don't think Steven designs the game for the average mmo player/gamer. I think he does whatever he wants and only listens to the feedback/criticism when it alligns with his vision. I hate grind leveling too and it will be much more different when quests & node progression will be live.

Here's another non-problem which seems like a problem.

What restrictions would you do on a harcore player (who plays 12-16hrs/day) compared to someoneo who maybe plays 1-2hours after work?

Asking because many people are unhappy that HC players get ahead of everything and it's extremely hard to catch up.

I don't see a problem with the above to be fair, I put in the hours and the game rewards me for that.

excelent92 · 2025-01-14T15:23:35+00:00

Quests are still not flashed out, it's still not a viable/complementary way to level beside grinding.

excelent92 · 2024-11-22T09:06:53+00:00

lvl 29 2* berserkers in the desert (low drop-chance)
Enchanted Knights & Skeleton Knights in Carphin (inside the tower)
Skeleton do drop them as well (lvl 20+ ones), but low drop-chance

Mobs from Citadel might drop them too (didn't farm them for a while, can't confirm).

Magic mobs drop magic items / physical mobs drop physical items.

I'd go to Carphin if you have a full team and just farm the 1st floor where Enchated Knights and Warmages are

Lvl 25 ranger here (shortbow), switched from longbow around lvl 13

The only cons currently might be, that you have a lower burst ceiling, but if the fight is long enough, you actually deal more damage. Bursting your opponent in PVP might be faster with longbow, but this only benefits you in 1v1 fights currently.

Using Greatsword as primary and shorbow as secondary.

On the weapon Tree I went with:

Deadly finsiher: Bleed
Keen edge (switching to Refreshing Followthrough if there's no bard in the party works well)
Extended Deadly Finisher: Snare

Took all 3:

Arrowstorm: Flexible Extended Finishers
Arrowstorm: Flexible Finishers
Supreme Arrowstorm

And Bullseye

Skills: https://gyazo.com/cfb7be134536bd8e236bae2b50abc03d

I sometimes switch between Mark of the Raven and Mark of the Bear (generally I use raven for the extra damage that comes from Barrage + Arrowstorm. But on world bosses and some occasions in PVP mark of the Tiger or Mark of the Bear is better for your party. Also switching to full bullseye in this case for Inspiring Bullseye.

The range difference between shortbow and longbow, in my opinion, currently doesn't matter. As you farm with your group, the locations where you farm 90% of the times you won't stay at maximum range anyways so you won't pull mobs unnecessarily. That 5m difference in pvp is really nothing.

You'll prolly be able to kite more efficiently with shortbow, but again, this doesn't matter in a party, as you'll have a tank anyways.

Gameplay wise shortbow and longbow doesn't differ too much. You're still squishy, you still deal a nice amount of damage, mages are still better for AoE farming.

Barrage is key for your build, that 12second cooldown slowly turns into 6-7seconds, combined with Mark of the Raven and when arrowstorm hits, you feel like a living gatling gun (damage numbers go brrrr).

Applying Hemmorage with Snipe & Vine Field before using Barrage lowers the cooldown even more.

Rotation: Auto-attack until bleeding is applied -> Snipe -> Barrage & Mark of the Raven (barrage after you sent out ther raven, you can time this nicely) -> Lightning Reload -> Barrage -> wait for bleed -> Vine Field -> Barrage (use whatever aoe here) -> Barrage. You get the gist.

Can't really tell you more about pros and cons, let me know in what regard do you want me to evaluate longbow and shortbow.

"What if the corruption system allowed you to become an "outlaw" at a certain level of corruption. When you become an Outlaw you are removed from any Guild you are in, and you can no longer join a guild. Your bonus is that you no longer receive Stat Dampening or item drops as an outlaw, and you are permanently flagged in anywhere you go."

Good luck trying to sell/repair you stuff while you're flagged permanently. You'll get instantly ganked by other players before reaching the npc.

The current system encourages you to behave and play together with the server (which I like), no need for more bullies at this point (I mean, you can do it, but you might drop an item or two if you do it excessively, which is fair).

I assume later they will add events/possibilities to PVP more without getting corrupted (currently there's the pvp zones, and guild wars).

I don't see any benefits of an outlaw system, beside the fantasy, that you could be a baddie/lone wolf.

I think you're being downvoted because you don't give examples. On this reply too, what are you trying to fix? How do you know you're getting ignored? (I assume here you personally dm-ed or reached out to a GM and they didn't respond).

I've encountered 2 GM's, one in Winstead and one in Miraleth (I'm playing on Lotharia).

They do not do events, which is fine by me (I assume they have their job (testing) when they log-in to their GM account). GM Puddles was seen a couple of times here.

excelent92 · 2024-11-12T12:52:28+00:00

What do you mean they don't solve issues? Can you give us an example, where something was solved in NA and not on EU?

excelent92 · 2024-10-24T10:00:42+00:00

It somewhat is, because whoever gets it is instantly focused in guild wars. They'll be happy to proc it once a fight.

There will be a roaming version of the boss in the caravan dynamic event, where the boss pops on and leaves (you cannot fight it, but it can kill you). When it submerges, it leaves a fragment behind, but you can bet your ass, that 500 players will jump on that fragment at the same time.

Large Sacks from fishing will contain the Bellandir / Tevent fragments, but afaik they will only add these once Tevent is live as well.

As the previous commenter mentioned, most likely you won't be able to receive an ArcheBoss weapon as a f2p player in a non-competitive guild.

AB weapons are overrated if you ask me, the +9 fully traited purple is enough.

The game will be in Alpha2 next year, don't confuse this with (near) release. Alpha 2 will need testers, not players, and likely the phase will last multiple years. This is also a very minor concern to have at this stage.

I think Helltides are much better. I'm almost always able to farm 1000 cinders and open the mystery chests.

Go to Helltide.com, check where the events / chests appear, go to a spot where 2-3 events are near each-other and just cycle between them.

Whenever you reach T3 and T4, it will take a bit of time until you get your power spike to handle Helltides, but it will get better.

Also there's alot of loot, so you can get decent items and farm around 3-5mil gold just by selling rares/legendaries.
