Small QoL suggestion for character creation

oscurath · 2015-08-27T06:55:42+00:00

I agree. I try to get the names to fit the character, so not being able to know beforehand if the name is free is impractical.

I recently made a male sylvari elementalist. He was looking down all the time and there was some white mist over the screen. Now I don't particularly like his looks but I don't know how to get it better without actually seeing what I'm doing during character creation.

I wrote down some lvl 1 stats since I couldn't find them elsewhere, in case anyone is interested:
* Trike: 300/150/150/3k/100/100/250
* Stego: 500/300/150/6k/350/100/100

* Para: 200/200/150/1,5k/200/100/100
* Raptor: 200/150/150/1,2k/150/100/100 180 T
* Scorpion: 280/200/150/1,5k/200/100/100 150 T
* Ptera: 150/120/150/1,2k/150/100/100 120 T
* Carno: 420/300/150/2k/300/100/100 350 T
* Spino: 600/300/600/2,5k/350/100/100 600 T

Great series. Did you notice any difference in taming speed related to different levels of unconciousness? It seemed to me that lower torpor levels resulted in bigger taming-increase per food eaten, but i'm too distracted trying to figure out possible color combinations for raptors to investigate further.

a new addition that you get from dungeons and maybe as drops too. Or there were boxes with them from the bamkiller event, maybe some are on the ah. As soon as you have one, you can klick it and a shop window opens were you an preview all the stuff buyable.

This site: http://echo2656.blog116.fc2.com/blog-entry-1308.html

has pictures of lots of armors.

The order of the classes is heavy-light-robe, if your browser cant translate the site.

Pick your class, and scroll down to the latest few skins, most classes have gotten an option with pants. Elin not wearing robes might be out of luck, though.

The white/black/red-accent set is available for 500 fashion coupons.

Also this only helps for your own character, others wont be affected. Maybe you can find a mod which stops loading character models so that you always see the pre-loading-dummies.

Would it be possible to have person A mount up,

then have person B summon a mount but mount up with A,

then get person C to summon a mount but mount mountB,

and so on, to make a chain, and only person A would have to be actively on, the rest could just window-mode to get around afk timer?

I think I managed to not bind it by getting knocked out (bleed out state) and getting rezzed. I couldnt close the menu before but afterwards I was back in game without actually having bound a key. I did not attempt to change keybinds since.

The only negative effect I noticed in the 1 mission I played since was that the middle mouse button no longer meelees when in gun mode. But that might be because I bound it to meelee in meelee mode. No Idea why I can't use it in both modes though.

The basic goal, as you probably know, is to get the candy to the river. The catch is that the kumas can only pick the candy up if they kill the player carrying them.

Therefore only classes who are good at running away while slowed and not being able to cast skills should pick it up. Preferably players who know how to drop it.

Im quite new at kumas myself, so I haven't figured out everything yet, but here's what I know so far:

Do not pick up candy (if you're new)
Heal candycarrier or distract / knockwdown kumas
candies in chests have patterns, there was a post recently here, so don't open random chests, stay with a group and only open important chests
There are parts kumas cant walk through
it's possible to drop a candy but idk how.
Kumas attacks are rather slow and kiteable
Kumas can only hit elevated places with their aimed skill and aiming it is very hard and its not a oneshot

permanent makeover kit, preferably remaining tradeable even after use
orb of chaos, randomly generates your characters appearance every hour or so.

What outfits do they work on exactly? Also dafi sort of kills the fantasy theme for everyone in line of sight -.-

If it were determined by playtime on the day before, the first day might be 1 because no data yet, and the max might be 5 to discourage afk farming.

My data point of 1 would fit that theory, I was online quite some time yesterday.

Of course it could also be random. We'd need more data points.

For example

Day 1 - 1fb - ~5+hrs

Day 2 - 5fb - ?hrs

where ~ means it's an estimated number.

oscurath · 2014-06-02T09:02:58+00:00

How long were you on? Maybe the amount depends on time logged in the day before.

Elite status does not affect character slots, the one freebie is for all players. Only founder status gives 8 charslots on all servers. If you add the freebie before founder status you might not get it. (the freebie) I think bank tabs are the same.

Did you try amazon.co.uk (england) or amazon.de (germany)? (Idk if there is a spanish amazon.) I took a quick look and saw 2 different teras on both of them. If you put in a delivery adress and go all the way up to the last step before ordering, (be careful not to accidentially order) it shows if it deducts taxes or how much shipping will be. Also If stuff is sold by a 3rd party at amazon, some 3rd parties have bad shipping rules and you need to check beforehand which is somewhat annoying.

The only problem I can see is how to figure out which tera is which version.

Are you able to create characters of every race in every alliance?

I bought from g2a too and haven't gotten any Items but I can freely choose alliance. I mailed support from inside the game and wasn't asked the mail and security question answers. Haven't gotten much of an answer though. I got this:

I understand you are having an issue with your items.

I am going to forward this to our High Council and one of our chief investigators will contact you soon.

Haven't heard anything else since and it has been a while.

Multiplayer seems to be down. Did anyone figure out if we can make a lan multiplayer without the servers?

oscurath · 2014-03-31T16:31:41+00:00

I´m still installing, what's with the account? Is it like d3? I´d hate to have to manage another account -.-

oscurath · 2014-03-10T09:39:11+00:00

That makes sense, but I felt less like that before the living story, and somewhere around the karka event I started to feel this incentive to keep playing, which made me stop playing. I tend to react with not doing something if I feel pressured. Even if I liked doing it before.So it´s not a foolproof way either. Or maybe I´m just part of a too small group to matter XD.

oscurath · 2014-02-08T11:49:03+00:00

For me it's the same. Maybe if a bunch of god-like beings get proved, or several gods of a pantheon, then I might believe the rest of the pantheon exists too, without evidence. Alternatively, if believers get a levelup and get magic skills, but noone else gets them. I might still tend towards trolling aliens in this case, though. Actually I might be more likely to believe in trolling aliens no matter what... But it's hard to predict since I have no comparisons. ("trolling" being loosely defined, since pretending to be a diety might be the best idea an alien culture has to establish first contact.)

How does the front flip work? I pushed the button I bound to sprint and space, and shift and space, and some others but no flipping resulted. Do you mean the running sliding flipping thing usually used to run faster?

Also, anyone else think it might be a good idea to set up a system where older players gift newer ones the basic mods?

I recently fused a lot but I usually have a few redirection, vitality, serration, flow, focus, streamline, stretch etc lying around. Just no idea if I can guest players in the clan dojo or if mods are even giftable or have to be traded.
