Hm, that's looking quite promising... gonna give it a try.

[Taser]

I've watched some gameplay vids and reviews on youtube so I went ahead and bought it for 10 bucks. I'll let you know how it goes. I dunno if I'm going for Ismirs or midlander though. Seem to be the 2 factions at the moment. There's at least 4 but those are the 2 that are in for now. I'm leaning midlander but I don't really care. If we want to do a crpg thing in this game, I'm up for it. RipperX is in some clan in the game already.

[Taser]

From what i saw on their site i'd lean more Midlander than Ismir.

Earthdforce, you've already got it, which one did you pick?

We both are midlander. Tried it out for a bit last night. I had fun with it. Earth couldn't open his inventory though lol. Rip in peace.

Of course the file check the launcher does every time you open it up is annoying. However my experience thus far is the first file check takes forever, the file checks afterwards are much much faster.

[Taser]

Awesome, I cant guarantee that it'll be downloaded any time in the next few days lol but I'm up for some Midlander fun.

Pure Str fo life!

Nice. You can put it all in Str and Con to be a fat melee char. There's 4 stats but the 4th one, wisdom, is currently blocked off. I guess they're not ready to let that one in yet.

For your earlier question though of swashbuckling, it is basically a wasted slot if you only have a 1h with no shield. You take less damage if you use a shield especially vs ranged afaik. Not sure how effective kick is and how hard it is to use versus a player. I haven't pvped anyone yet lol. Maybe soon. Ismir towns must be raided!

[Beauchamp]

how does the combat feel? is it any good compared to warband/crpg?

[Taser]

That enrages me slightly, but i'll start the download tonight!

Death to Ismir!

Aw yeah. Ismir actually seems to be losing when it comes to number of towns under their control. They currently have none besides the starter town. Might just be the time of day or something. At least in NA. Dunno how its going in EU.

how does the combat feel? is it any good compared to warband/crpg?

Combat is subpar to warband/crpg. No directional block. There are directional attacks so this makes me hopeful for directional blocks at some point. There is a kick to break someone's block and blocks do minimize damage. However they have server lag which causes some issues. Its not too bad but could definitely be better. They've said they're working on making that better, especially with a steam release coming up in the next few months.

I'm liking it but the pre alpha aspect shows while playing. Its pretty stable but there are still problems and issues. Nothing big I've noticed thus far but if you want to wait and see how it goes, its supposed to be f2p when it comes out on steam. I dunno if it'll be f2p immediately or when they decide to say the game is done.

There are also adjustments and changes planned for combat but I don't know what those are. I just started and all.

[Kadeth]

aww man, I really wanna get into this game, but if people in NA/EU are complaining about lag I'm guessing it will be totally unplayable from Australia 

[Taser]

Oh yeah, are there separate servers or everyone in one?

There's separate servers for NA/EU but everyone in NA is in one server and everyone in EU in another. SO its not all split up besides EU/NA.

Wait for steam release and try it then?

[Algarn]

Is it any good so far ? Can anyone post a screenshot of the character tab ?

Well I decided to move further from the starter area towards Leaktown to the north. Was fighting lvl 25 corsairs and getting falchions, booze and recipes and a ton of xp. Was nice. Went from lvl 9 to lvl 14 in no time. Then Ismirs went on the warpath and took all the towns/farmhouses in the south. So I decided to go to the closest one to see how it goes in terms of reclaiming. I saw some beehives and was harvesting them when an lvl 5 elder peasant runs at me. He was very upset I was taking his honey. He ko'd me in 3 hits with 180 damage or so per hit. Fucker was in rage mode.

I'm def having fun with it. Kick is very awesome to break defense and stun your enemies. It doesn't seem to everytime so I'm not sure if there's something to it I don't know yet or not.

Would get rekt by lvl 5 elder peasant again/10.

[Taser]

I'm on tonight,

Shoot me up, you'll never guess my in-game name (it's 'Heskey')

Nice. Farm those foxes and beggars and I'll pop on in a bit. Should have kept one of the simple voulges I got for ya. They're much better than the 1h weps for damage. Gonna take a while before I can craft one. I mean shit. Crafting isn't super complicated but it is pretty mixed with some of the recipes to get the items you need to craft weapons and armor.

[Taser]

I'm full of noob questions xD

Where can i sell things?
Why is wheat and flax visually bugged?
What am i doing?

It's refreshing

On the mini map you acn see icons like chests, a crest of some kind and other icons that will show things of interest. The crest like icon is traders. I do not know if it matters who you sell to, i.e will a tailor pay you the same amount for a weapon as the blacksmith will?

No idea on why wheat and flax is bugged.

And you do whatever mang. I'm just lvling atm. There's a tourney in like 4-5 hours that I'm going to join and get rekt in. Will be my first taste of pvp.

Haven't done a ton of crafting but I am trying to see where I want to go, maybe engineering but I don't know how we're setting things up or if we're joining random guilds. Only 3 of us so far in GV if you joined NA.
