Whats everyone been playing? Also RaptrFollow

Ok Setup the guild with Joph and Dyadems help. "Omnibus" is the name, everyone has invite privileges, if No one is on atm you can goto guild search and type in "Omni" there's like 3 guilds with it in the name, but ours says Zam Guild as a description, just put in an app and when someone gets on you'll be invited.

I paid the 3 gold bank fee and tossed in some gold, if anyone needs a little to start off. Joph was kind enough to put a ton of Blues from his extensive dungeon running in there also.

I have some errands to run, and need to go grab a copy of TERA for someone from Walmart so they can have founder status. I might just pick up both toss one on ebay or possibly use it for myself depending.

2nd day playing, took 4 hours and I still have issues with obstacle 3(the double long jump) and the one after the inverted climb. Also that last one the backwards wheelie is a pain also.

My hands hurt so bad...

lmao....

Is... that a pipe?!

*rerolls*

If you'd be so kind, could people add their forum names to the guild list (under "comments") so I know who is who? I don't want to call KTurner a cocktard in guild chat for rolling a popori while he's around to hear me.

I think only you are allowed to set your own note. Maybe the guild leader can, too, but from what I can tell you have to set it from each individual character.

I'm rob it blind and see if it shows up!

I logged in last night. I got my Warrior to 11 and got sent into an instanced - the first one. There was a merc there to help me, the trash was easy enough, but I died to the multi-limbed boss monster. It was pretty close but I died. I think I didn't need to die. I freaked when my health got lower than I'd yet seen it. Instead I should have pummeled the beast with even more ferocity instead of trying to dance around it. I quit for the night after that. I hate to have to start down the path of finding other people to help me with stuff. It's a big roadblock for me.

The game still feels really foreign. I don't understand how mob sharing works. I know that once I lost a kill that I needed for a quest. It was one of them named guys with a zillion little minions around him. I was moving in swinging at the minions and some dude ran in and went straight to the main mob. I was on that mob by then as well but the other guy probably hit him first. The result was I got quest credit for the minions but not the main guy. Not sure if the kill-stealer had gotten first hit or done most damage or what?

I haven't figured out how to see the health of other players - is it possible? This bugs me. When I watch another fight I cant see how much damage either the monster or the player are taking. I've learned to grab agro well with my Warrior, so presumably I could help someone out that was in dire straights if I only knew if they were bleeding.....

Maybe I'm just done with the classic mmorpg and not willing to climb up another learning curve, but at the same time am still stuck on the routine or need to make some small daily progress on my computer generated fantasy hero. Time to grow up??

That's interesting. That one encounter that I mentioned above with the kill stealer, I had literally waited in line for my turn to take out the mob.

I'll need to go back and kill that first boss either way. Like I said, it was close. I have a couple damage modifiers that increase my dps output as my health goes lower. I need to take advantage of that.

Yeah, I usually go to channel 3 or 4 for questing since there's less competition. I go back to Channel 1 if I'm standing around an instance entrance trying to find a group since that's where the people are.

Note that Area Chat covers all servers. So you could see a request to join a group for some quest, accept and have them all be on another channel. Mousing over their name in the party window shows what channel they're on (or just ask).

In the town on the island, there's a crystal vendor who sells crystals you can affix to your weapon and armor, if you haven't done so already. Crystals can be removed at will (only while still equipped), so you don't have to re-buy them for every upgrade. Anyway, there are some weapon crystals that give you MP regeneration, and armor crystals that give you HP regeneration. I think the level 11 crystals are something like 10 HP every 5 seconds apiece, and you can usually get armor with 3 slots (maybe only 2 on the island).

Also, I'm sure you realized this well before I did, but that dash ability you get on Warrior costs HP as well. I was using it to get around faster before I had a mount, and was wondering why my health was always so low.

Yeah stick with it. It's also very very easy to get a partner for that quest if you ask in /area chat.

I think I spent five minutes sitting outside BoL on my blue horse spamming spacebar as fast as I could.

I still have not re-DLed Tera. But I did finish FC3.

My thoughts on FC3:

I don't wan't it to be over yet. I had a great time playing and pretty much gorged on the game all weekend. That being said it still only took me about 32 hours to finish. I will say I skipped some of the side missions on the second island because once I had full crafting bags for everything the path of the hunter quests seemed kind of pointless.

Plus the main story quest had sucked me in pretty good by that point and I really wanted to see how things turned out. I did clear all of the outposts though and started really enjoying getting stealth kills and take downs on them. With two alarms instead of plinking one with my sniper rifle and then just shooting everyone I started to sneak into camps to manually disable them both from one.

Then I would try for as many take downs as I could get before all hell broke loose.

As far as the ending, ENDING SPOILER HERE: SpoilerCitra was hot and all but I could feel the crazy coming off her at the end. No way in hell I was going to slit pretty little Lisa's throat. I mean did you even see dat ass on her? Would be a shameful waste of pixels. But I did Youtube the alternate ending and was really glad I did not choose that route. I then promptly went to reddit and read all of the theories on insanity, satire, trope, cliche, and parody. Honestly I was not thinking that deeply about it at the time. Just seemed a bit lame that I did not get a "send your friends home and become BRO-KING of the island" without the sexual stabbing bit choice.

SpoilerI'm pretty sure that's what the Citra ending was supposed to be, but the higher-ups at Ubisoft probably thought promoting a game that has no visible downside to mass murder would be bad PR. Hence the "La petite mort" ending we have now.

He was an utter cake walk with my sorceress. On the berserker, I almost died a few times. Took a lot of running while a regen potion healed me to finish him after my merc went down.

I advise this. Don't buy the ones from the Specialty Stores though, they are also for level but they are 20hp each, so you are really only gaining at 9hp a tick at a higher price rate, which varies depending on which store you buy them at, since they are Vanarch Controlled.

By solo-able I assume you mean incredibly easy.

I have found many kindred Vitabros on NeoGAF, so yeah. I tried to engage about Vita few times here and they never caught on.

I just started playing Dokuro and Life of Pixel on Vita and am enjoying both. I finally got platinum in Ni No Kuni last week (time is blending due to work, don't remember when exactly). I'm actually being rather ambitious this month. I started Bioshock 2 this week since I never started it after getting it cheap on Steam. I also plan on attempting Infamous 1/2. Should be interesting to see if I can complete all three by the end of this month. I've made it my mission to attempt to whittle down my backlog. I think my next, next, next, next game will be Nier.

I caught all the pokemons.

Do you use WASD? You can try shifting over to ESDF. Personally, I use WERD, and feel that it gives me easier access to more keys than WASD, and rebind things like Guild pane to G with a modified (I like to use ALT, but with ALT bringing up menus in TERA, I'll sacrifice CTRL+G).

Eh, it's tougher than anything prior to it and does some stuff you'll see in later bosses (jumping around, etc) so I wouldn't begrudge anyone dying to him the first time. Especially since the rest of the game up to that point really lets you just stand there and kill newbie mobs via attrition and this may be the first time active dodging/blocking is required. A bit of a paradigm shift for traditional MMORPG veterans.

My Slayer is 38 and I have enough of a feeling for Cultists' Refuge (3rd dungeon) to start leveling my Mystic or Lancer into there. Logged in late last night, just in time to get a 15min server warning. Started up the new Tomb Raider instead.
