thanks to the people in the circle for helping me with the last of my dungeon bronzes

maybe I'm going to make it after all

Is bronze the lowest rank, or is it possible to fuck up so badly you don't get any medal at all?

>>146699669
If you wipe and your party ragequits, yes.

>>146699669
Yes.

Does enabling circles still cost money?

>>146699669
you can complete things with no medal

>New avatarfags

GET
THE
FUCK
OUT

>>146699669
As long as you get all the objectives, you will get bronze. You can wipe as much as you want and take as long as you want, as long as you get the things in the quest traker with the bronze medals next to them, you'll get it.
If you miss even one and take too long, you'll get no medal.

>>146700825

Remember when chua had no underwear?

So if I'm starting out (NA) is there an interest in getting new players involved? And no I'm not looking for someone to power level me.

How definite and soon is cross-faction LFGing? I've got a Dom tank near max but I hear their numbers aren't great on NA.

IIRC, though, Dom tended to be more interested in endgame content and better organized than Ex.

>>146705109
Solo leveling is easy and usually faster than grouping. Grouping in zones is really only necessary for taking on BAMs or steamrolling mobs to farm.

>>146705109
>is there an interest in getting new players involved?
What do you mean? Beyond desperately wanting as many new people as possible so the game doesn't shut down?

>>146705672
They already said they're starting out, I think they meant getting involved with guilds and circles. Sometimes MMO recruiters specify that you have to be above a certain level or max.

How's the population lately? Wanting to come back to this game but if it's going to be shutdown soon then nah.

which is more populated by /vg/, exile or dominion?
I'm new and don't know which to side with, unless I only have to worry about aesthetics

>>146708319
Steam gave it a big boost, seems almost near launch population, beyond that idk

>>146708372
You know, I really can't tell. Exile maybe, but you should lorefag it up and pick the faction you like better

>>146708554
That's great to hear that it's doing better now. Going have to come back now!

warrior or stalker?

Once they add cross-faction matchmaking for instances faction population won't be such an issue.

Another new player checking it out. Can someone explain the paths thing to me? I mean, the website talks about how great they are, but, I also want to know about the cons.

Unrelated, but what are the most common to least common races, would you say?

>>146716658
Cons? There's no cons, they're purely extra content. I guess Explorer is the least useful in group content?
Most common is definitely chua and aurin. Least might be...draken? Purely because it can only be 3 classes

I mean like, for example, "this path is fun but it's annoying because ___", kind of stuff. Like, I hate jumping puzzles, so I'm guessing explorer isn't for me.

Also, at what level do you abandon questing to play with your house maker?

>>146718236

You get your house at level 14.

>>146718236
Soldier: Annoying when missions require way too many weird weapon uses/"defend the point for 5 minutes!"
Scientist: Annoying when you have to scan stuff behind group content and you have no friends ._.
Explorer: The most fun I've had, but annoying when the map marker doesn't tell you where to go properly
Settler: Annoying in every possible way

>>146718116
I was wondering about that - settlers build buildings? Are they persistent? I have to assume that the game has been around long enough that everything's been made.

>>146718901
They don't build buildings, they build vending machines and buff/bonus granters at certain "outpost" beacons. They disappear after a set amount of time.

Settlers are arguably the most useful in group play and you get bro points for leaving things that strangers can use to get various buffs, but their gameplay mechanics are ass and a half. Wander around looking for glowing junk (literally) to pick up, build shit at a beacon, rinse, repeat.

What's the difference between "accept" and "accept and add as friend"?

>>146726989
Accept just lets them add you as a friend, Accept and Add friends them back.

Oh I thought it was mutual automatically...so just "accept" is kind of being a dick...

Should we add a recommended mods list to the OP pasta?

I vote for PotatoUI, KuronaBags, Perspective, and TapThat.

>>146730779

I don't use any of those and still manage. I think it's better to just let people figure it out. There really aren't any truly essential addons for all players.

>>146730779
There's a link to the mod site at least
I don't use any and I think I've almost gotten used to this weird UI

So decided to download this today to give it a try since the mmo draught is real. Is game hampered by going f2p like Swtor was? Is the story any good/worth actually reading quests/lore etc?

>>146730779
I still prefer ForgeUI. TapThat is a lifesaver though.

>>146731843
swtor is the absolute worst f2p model, nothing should be compared to it
>pay to unlock running, hide helmet, display title, and action bars

>>146731843
God no, the f2p is very generous. The story is ehhh, okay.

Do Medics still pump out stupid DPS? I really enjoyed blasting EDM at shit

>>146732523
Right obviously Swtor is the worst of the worst but you never know ive always heard nothing but negative things for wildstar so was possible. Do each side have different stories enough to make a character from each side? IF not or if you could only play one which side do you think is better?

>>146732626
kings of aoe and pretty damn good at single target, though not the best. in geared raids I've seen medics go over 200k dps on earth wing trash

>>146732838
Exactly what I wanted to hear
How about the /vg/ circle? Has it turned into your typical general nonsense or is it decent for a 4chan chat room?

>>146732710
wildstar has gotten a lot of shit, but most of it was for 2 years ago at launch and it's better now. their f2p/steam launches really helped and were actually good
to be honest, the different factions start out separately but converge pretty fast...around level 20 I think? as far as zones go at least
on the bright side this means you can just roll an alt to see the other faction's content quickly. endgame stuff is again sort of split with different important characters so...ignore what I said and just level 1 on each side to cap to see it all, you're asking about story so clearly you care. roll scientist for even more lore tidbits
personally I enjoy dominion a lot more (but exile capitol has better music)

>>146733106
The circles are your typical memefests but they helped me out with attunement so I can't complain.

Perspective will highlight and draw a line to just about anything in the game and TapThat automatically does any of the F button minigames you enter, like the rhythm game. Potato/Forge and Kurona are personal preference, but you're just slicing your own gums if you don't use those two.

More like forced by honor, but you get my point.

No need to bully fampai.

>>146747086
>forced by honor
That'd imply they're being forced to be honorable.
Honor is just something they instill in their own people because they all believe in it so strongly.
They were probably happy to have found a race even stronger than them.
They likely see serving the Dominion as an opportunity for their own people to become stronger by learning from another race that just straight up bested them in combat and proved they still had room to improve.

Draken get stronger and learn from the Cassians and the Dominion gets aid from a very deadly group of lizards, it's a win-win so why wouldn't they want to willingly join?

>>146748135
Because technically the Draken don't give a shit about Nexus or the Eldan.

>>146748135
Well, this is where Draken tradition comes in.
Draken didn't really thing something could best them in single combat when they came up with their space spartan stuff, so it was more the Dominion exploiting a loophole rather than the Draken willingly deciding to join.

Also, the fact that the Draken are happy as long as they kill stuff or die trying is not part of my point, the point is that they're effectively soldier-slaves to the Dominion.

They still don't give a flying fuck about the Eldans, as they still worship their old gods, and have no real attachment except the fact that they're honour bound, which is pretty incompatible with all the Dominion ethos.

Now, they're pretty much the military elite, and that's true becasue of the Dominion meritocracy system, but it still doesn't imply the Draken care, and are there of their own free will.

They're still cool tho

>>146733691
>>146733725
>Aurin Esper

W-why am I a meme?

>>146748402
So?
They help out and get knowledge and power in return, seems like a fair deal to willingly get in on.

>>146748502
>but it still doesn't imply the Draken care, and are there of their own free will.
I'm sure that their interest in the Eldan doesn't extend further than a mild curiosity about how they're seen as a superior race even by the Cassians that bested them.
And that's only if the Draken even care to learn enough about the Eldan to find out that they weren't always considered to be gods and were only assumed to have ascended to that point from being just as mortal as everyone else when they left Nexus.

I was just saying that it's not like the Draken aren't benefiting overall from the deal.

>>146749289
Of course they are, they're the military elite of the strongest power in the galaxy.

Just like the Mamelukes in Egypt, or the Janissaries in the Ottoman Empire - they were rich, powerful and incredibily influential, but still slaves, in the end. That was my point.

Engie is the least popular class, tank is the most wanted niche.

Engies are unpopular because Warriors and Stalkers are much better tanks, everyone else has much better DPS and their support abilities aren't really necessary if your Medic, Esper or Spellslinger is competent.

>>146751542
Not until you get to the endgame and people can swap gear out, load a new skill set and know how to play both roles their class can play. Zone leveling exclusively favors every class's DPS builds and most players don't bother collecting support gear until they hit 50.

Spookybutt gives you the main quests, the game suggests which zone fits your level and the zone quests progress you through the regions by level by level, regional quests are zone quest sidequests in each region and path quests are discovered as you explore zones.

Just answer your communicator when it beeps, it'll automatically give you appropriate quests based on level and location and use the buttons at the bottom of the quest tracker to hide path missions and challenges when you aren't trying to do them. Doing everything is just for completionists and lorefags, just powerlevel until you hit 50 and do endgame content.

We are just memes because esper is the most restricted class. Only humans, cassians, chua, and aurin can be espers, and nobody should want to play a rat. This means a huge percentage of esper players choose aurin.

So what about the players who just want to play an Aurin? Stalkers don't seem popular in general, so that just leaves spellslinger and esper.

These two things together mean aurin esper is really poplar

So yeah, we are memes

>Dominion doesn't have "boss trains"

Exile doesn't always have them either, but you can always lash a few people together. I know whenever there's a a big zerg killing a 20 man boss, at least hal...A quarter of them are reds. I've seen dominion trains before on bosses too. Even if it isn't a raid's worth of people you could still join a few people together to breeze through it.

>Dominion = Order

Oh that's why they backstab each other at every opportunity to rise up in ranks?

>>146767414
Dominion literally think they are descended from gods, even though they found out their gods are just alien idiots who are all dead

>>146767704
Yes.

Order also means a strong hierarchy. That leads to backstabbing and plotting, at least that's what happened in history.

>>146767704
Well yes, because they think everyone else is incompetent and they can make the order better...

>>146767414
>>146767610
>>146767749
To go into slightly more detail, Eldan shenanigans led to setting up a caste system among the humans; those with Eldan blood/lineage are Highborne and speak with a British accent, and those without are Lowborn and typically speak with a cockney accent. A whole bunch of lowborn think this is bullshit, rebel, and eventually form the beginning of the Exile faction.

Both are fighting for Nexus: the Dominion believe the planet is theirs by divine birthright because Eldan, while the Exiles are tired of running and are looking to establish their new home.

>>146767749
That's one thing I wondered about, if any dominion characters changes their outlook after finding out what the eldan were doing and that it went wrong. I played a mechari to 50 but I didn't mess around enough to have my question answered.

>>146766584
well no, but it's a lot harder to hop on when you can't see exile chat

>>146767910
Even if a Highborne takes the proverbial red pill, they're still on the strings of the Mechari, who - as hinted at in >>146745760 - are the true puppet masters of the Dominion due to being Eldan constructs who are solely focused on ensuring the might of the Dominion.

The Mechari enforce what they understand is the will of the Eldan, which is by extension the will of the Dominion. They're the ones who brought Tresayne Toria to Nexus to give birth to Dominus the first emperor; they're the ones who run the ICI (imperial intelligence), and they're the ones who make sure the Dominion stays on track.

They're also the ones who pissed off the granok and uplifted the chua, so make of that what you will.

They were created to serve the Eldan, but the Nexus Project was viewed as too important for the Mechari to be directly involved. As the Nexus Project increasingly became the focus of the entire Eldan species and they all began living on Nexus, the Mechari had less and less direct contact with them. Eventually, the Mechari were just carrying out the directives they were designed to without any input from the Eldan. While there are still functioning Mechari who existed during the final days of the Eldan, they never had any direct contact with them, physical or otherwise.

Leveling is gay as fuck and instead of making the process less tedious or at least making the dungeons more worth it they do this.

I really don't want to be that faggot that boosts their first and only character but I see myself not playing anymore than dealing with the leveling. Protogames taught me more about the game more than anything else. Most of my leveling experience has was picking up settler objects or other trash on the field sprinkled with some mob killing. It turned me off so much that I haven't played in like a week and I started since steam release.


I'll try to find a leveling guide or something although I really want to do dungeons.

>>146795296

You can very easily get 50 in just a few days of barely trying.

If you can't handle that you can't handle any mmo that isn't wow.

>settler
I don't blame you

>>146795229
For imbuing your Eldan gauntlets. You need a few hundred last I knew. But, you also need to be raiding to imbue them at all so there you are.

>>146792370
The statistics are skewed in favor of Spellslingers. Stalker, Esper and Medic are so close that picking one is a matter of personal preference. DPS Warrior drops appreciably down but that class makes very good tanks when specced for support. Engies a scrub.

>>146795410
I'm actually pretty new to MMOs so I guess. I never played wow. I played some of ff14 and tera. Its not that the leveling is hard but really really boring. Its hard to pay attention and do it optimally when its so fucking trash. The dungeons are fucking legit as hell though but you have to basically beg people to try to run them with you that are around your level it also didn't help that I ran dominion so there is not many players to play with anyway.

>>146795630
The settler buffs are rad and make the shit leveling less painful and I can help others with it too. A sense of joy passes through me when I see someone use or extend the time on my buff machines.

>>146795765
TERA had fucking atrocious leveling. You just hit level 20 and then played the same dungeons over and over until you reached the next tier and played the next tier of dungeons over and over. I wouldn't have reached max level if I hadn't been staring at hot brown demongirl butt the whole time.

Tera dungeons were boring but the most boring dungeon will beat ANY questing period.

>>146796237
No I barely could find people to run the damn things.

>>146803260
They're a blast if you can find a group before lvl 50

>>146803223
I get that you are being protective, and for good reason, but can you at least tell me what exile housing plots I might go to in order to find one?

Summoning Aurin and or Human sluts.

Jack Prophet has an ERP plot. /chjoin Darknest as well

I can't plow what I can't see.

Here...waiting for you...

>>146807451
That's the point, no fluffy tail for you

>>146808235
Disappointing. Fluffy tails are made for grabbing.

>>146808461
No, they are for stroking sensually

>>146808646
Wrong, tugging.

>>146805914
I am always really nervous about joining on this stuff. What if someone recognizes me?

>>146808646
I've got something you can stroke sensually, if you know what I'm saying.

Shh, come here and wrap your hand around it bae. It's still soft so you'll get to feel it harden.

So what? Many RPers ERP as well. If you want discretion, RP normally and let a relationship form organically. Then ask if your partner is okay with RPing out sex scenes. Most are and then that ends up 90% of your relationship RP.

I'm discreet enough to the point that WSRP thinks I'm a prude.

>>146808810
If it's just dick you want, why bother with Darknest? Are you fuckable?

So I just hit 50 out in the field. What am I supposed to do now? I remember someone mentioned buying a set of PVP gear or something to be immediately ready for veteran dungeons.

>futa
Yeahno, I'm only into cloaca anyway

>>146809378
You can buy blue gear off the PvP vendor. You can also join the boss trains in Arcterra to get soulfrost for ilvl 85 gear.

>>146809306
>Are you fuckable?
if I was I wouldn't be looking to erp

>>146809296
I am too shy to RP at all. I know its there, but the times I've tried to RP I just didn't know what to do. I literally RP'd the person at parties who stands in the corner and doesn't know how to talk to anyone.

>>146809378
buy starter pvp gear
go to arcterra
gear up to around ilvl 70
rune up
do dungeons
