Well for anyone wondering how things may run, consider mine a vote of confidence. I still remember those adventure guild events we had. Where everyone got together and explored to get the achievements or whatever.

Just wait until we do guild missions in this game!

Hit the Enter key and switch to whisper with ALT+3, type your message, then hit Tab to switch to the recipient box and enter the character name of the person you want to whisper.

I'm wanting to give this game a try but don't want to lay down the £30 for something i'm not sure i'd like, is there a free trial of sorts that you can sign up for?

Once the game launches, we will have free passes to give out. We'll make a thread for it.

Also, the clan is now full - I need to gather the 100k silver for the guild in the mean time.

You can add me as a friend (Family: Venteal, Name: Ashodin) so I can get you in when the guild opens.

I have to say, the AFK features are fucking amazing, including auto-run. I can get work done while getting work done!

I think that's one of my biggest complains about the game. Things sort of feel like work.

This kind of feels like second life w/ more gameplay features.

Huh, this is the first I've heard of this game. The combat system sort of looked like an evolution of TERA, would that be a decent comparison, or did I get the wrong impression from the short class videos?

I have a couple of dumb questions, is there a stabby, stealthy class? It didn't look like it, Valkyrie seemed kinda fast and agile. What's ranger like?

And will this run on 2500k OC@ 4.5 and an old 560ti? I saw some posts about CPU usage earlier in the thread, but I can't seem to find recommended specs anywhere and this looks like it might be a bit much for the old girl.

Auto fish for a few hours in Velia.

Check the junk box.

Go to heidel trader and bargain + sell = profit.

I do like 2m each run.

I think the "work" part is what you make of it. I love the day to day aspects of fishing-->cooking-->selling. Do a little sight seeing then grind some mobs to level. Great game so far.

Take this with a big grain of salt as I haven't played it yet but there's a Ninja and Kunoichi class coming down the road and I think they might have limited stealth abilities.

On that note I believe the Tamer class shares the same weapon class as the Ninja at least and you could start out with that class and when Ninja/etc come along trade that weapon over for kind of a head start.

Whole lot of supposition there, someone else can answer better I'm sure lol.

For some reason the game forces 24Hz when running on fullscreen, anyone knows a way to fix this thing (other than changing the resolution).

On another note, did anyone managed to optimize the sli on this game, it runs but the frame rate and GPU usage are very unstable, AFR2 is better but still not good enough to run 4K.

How is general performance in this game? SLI working ? Is it possible to run maxed at 60fps @4k with proper hardware ?

Why Velia? is it the best?

In the shore, safe zone.

The catching rate of gold (45k) blue (15k) and is quite often.

Let me show you an screenshot of now, i had been AFK fishing for 3 hours.

That with bargain is around 1.5m silver.

But i usually only sell the gold ones.

I use green/blue to make pet food.

Game launches tonight (3/3) right? This game looks fun, but I can't tell if I want to invest $50 into it yet! You're saying that there are going to be free passes to try the game?!

ill try that in a bit out of curiosity hwo do you view the cashshop ?

F3 :) but is a japanese cash shop.

Looks like I'm running to Velia. That's with a good fishing rod too, right?

Mike: Cash Shop isn't open yet.

I'm using a Balenos +1 rod it reduce the auto fish in a 11%.

Plus with the costume + body + food + guild buff my fishing skill is 5 what helps too.

Normally the safe zone is depleted.

If you move a little more to the left, where you summon the first boss quest, is combat area but usually is Rich.

The problem in my server is there is a guy who PK all the afk fishers there.

If you dont have PKers the Rich zone is quite more faster, i usually deplete my rod durability (65) in 2h
 

Metalic Sand

who is Emo-Beas?
I have a quest for a worker to make a fishing pole and the quest log says to buy Velia house 3.2 but it doesn't give an option to purchase?

uh grapes at least i think they are grapes from the farm north of olvia

You need to contribute in the farm, contribute in the farming node, and send workers.

You cant farm in nodes by yourself

Thanks for this, for some reason Tamer isn't on the official site, but I looked into it and it looks like something I can get into. Cheers!
