So fucking confused can't collect on my node cause it keeps saying "Cannot collect on node because it is currently connected to another node", which it isn't. And then I can't even have my worker continue to work it because it says he is out of stamina, how do I restore his stamina? Ugh....

EDIT: Never mind the stamina part.

I just want to collect on my resources gathered and make some silver. :(

Beer restores stamina. You make it at the cooking station.

And your first point is weird, because nodes have to be connected to the city to activate them. Are you sure it's saying that they aren't connected and you need to connect them?

Aren't there wagon repair kits though?

They don't fix the lifespan bar just the durability. That will constantly drop no matter what.


Most of the suggestions in that thread (including the OP's) suggest repairs costing materials and people have put forth the idea of max durability degradation on repair so implementing repair doesn't necessarily mean destroying the economy.
Yea, got a chance to read the thread. Pretty much a solid suggestion along with what some other posters have said.

While I see your point, I would suggest a slight modification. You can use those materials to build an item that will simultaneously increase the durability whilst decreasing the durability cap. I think it is very important to have these items eventually be unusable and thus a new item be manufactured.

As an example, your Fishing Boat has a 174,000 durability maximum. After a while, it goes down to 50,000 durability and you create an item that will improve your durability by 50,000 while decreasing the durability maximum by 50,000. So now, you have a Fishing boat with 100,000 out of 124,000 durability. Essentially, delaying the inevitable.

I really like this one. It will lower the demand for things alittle since things will last longer, but people will still need to send some cash to the crafters for replacements.

Excuse me it says "Cannot cullect on a Node that is currently connected to two other nodes." right now I have it as my only node. I also get the same message when I have a network of nodes linking Oliva and Velia.

Then that's a bug, because that's not possible. Link a screenshot of the map and error and let's see if we can help.

If you've had him gathering, hell bring them straight to the storage in his home town.

It would be nice for players to be able to go to other players for repairs as well. If you don't have or want the facilities to repair your boat or wagon, you can seek out a craftsman to do it for you.

What the ever loving fuck is going on in this game.

I understand nothing.
Isn't it wonderful?

Just keep at it, you can't really make any major mistakes before level 50 other than some time theoretically wasted, but time learning is not time wasted, IMO.

Even your skills will get an entire reset at level 45.

I'm about halfway through building one of these

Man I so want this, but I see it will tak eme weeks to do it at this rate lol

Beware of buying Daum Cash. I bought some on Sunday and tried to buy pearls, I got a Daum Cash retrieval error and it all disappeared. Support has not responded to my ticket, no acknowledgement on the support forums, and nothing through social media. Some have reported they heard a reply through twitter saying they are aware, but no clue when it will be resolved. I feel like my money has been stolen.

Man that sucks, atlhough it helps me control myself about buying cash lol
Hope it gets resolved fast for you. Daum need to be very careful with these problems...

I agree this is a shitty situation and should be resolved ASAP. But I think they're so overwhelmed with the pre order item and server placement issue that support is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind.

I still haven't received my proper compensation for the pre-order thing, and it was promised last Friday. I have an open ticket that hasn't been responded to which I put in on Thursday.

I have a feeling it'll all get taken care of, it's just a really giant queue of issues.

See that wheat symbol? You have to collect on that before you can collect on the node itself. It's a node within a node.

You have another node within that node, have to collect on that one first.
I see the wheat symbol, but that is it. There are two houses within that node are those what you guys are referring too? Also I now see the good at the storage in the home town.

I think, perhaps, you don't understand what the "collect" button does?

The collect button refunds your Contribution Points, which can only be done after refunding all the Contribution Points from nodes depending on that node.

They posted news on their website that maintenance tonight is going to address the issue. A CM posted in the forums that it has already been resolved for all new purchases but those still waiting will have to check their inventory after maintenance.

Resolving malfunctions of the synchronization between DaumCash and Pearl Shop
If you experienced some trouble with the synchronization of DaumCash and Pearl Balance in-game (e.g. DaumCash being deducted, but no Pearl Box provided into your inventory), please check your inventory after the maintenance if this has been resolved. If you are still missing Pearl Boxes, please contact our customer support.

CM Tytyes said:
All right. Talking with the support and tech team they've managed to fix the system from now on. Now unfortunately for people who have been impacted in the past the Support team is currently working on making a list of those users to manually fix the trade.

We're sorry for this, they just need a little more time for all of you who've been impacted. As I said before, it's still a good idea to contact the support, even if they can't answer quickly at least they have your details available to put in the list.

That's the most recent news I have for you guys about this issue at the moment. New trade should work just fine from now on, and for the rest of you we ask again for a little bit of patience.

How in the world can I move this quest pop up thing? It's dead centre in the middle of my screen.

Press Esc and Edit UI?

--------

I'm really struggling understanding how to get my workers to work, I have 2 in Heidel and nodes from Heidel connected to a couple of farms, wat do?
 
Are you in the starting area? Apparently you need to progress a bit before the button becomes usable.

Well I peaced out anyway. The text is too small to read, the UI is placed all over itself to the point where I can't click on menus, and the popup is absolutely absurd, not to mention the game runs at 24fps in fullscreen for some reason.

How's the game in terms of optimization/performance? I'm running on some pretty dated hardware, but definitely interested. If my other friend ends up getting it I'm going to bum his 7 Day pass to see if I like the game/if it runs well enough to buy.

Click on the farm node and send a worker to work there :)

I'm looking to make Ash Plywood, how do I... do that? I made a ton of Ash Planks before I realized that's not what I needed :(

you need a wood workshop then you get your workers to make them. i just found this out recently myself


No need.

There is quest in Calpheon what gives you the knowledge to make via processing.

And yes you need the Planks to make Plywood.

Thanks! Man, when I first started playing I was wondering why there were so many house spaces around for sale, now I know. I think I have most of Velia filled up already.

Oh, even better. Is Calpheon easy to get to? I ventured as far as Heidel and scampered back to Velia because I just wasn't ready for so many new things yet.

No, is quite far away, but at some moment you will need to go there.

And yes, is quite easy to get there.

Thanks I'll figure it out tomorrow, I just want to make my boat ASAP. People mentioned a durability meter for boats? Is that something that just depletes no matter what or only when you are using it? About how long would a boat last? That info is bumming me out a bit.

When I catch a fish and the direction stuff comes up, all the directions are like collapsed on each other so I can't read what I'm supposed to press and I fail. Anybody else have that issue?
 
I've stumbled upon a lot of underpopulated mob grind camps questing through the various areas. I guess cause they don't show up on Hakurai's guide people don't go there. The mobs may be slightly harder kills.

I got two levels grinding in Bree Tree Ruins (35-37) against the golems/spiders, and another two levels (37-39) on the Masked Owls just northeast of the ruins. I also recall doing soldiers/dwarves in the Watchtower as opposed to Orcs when it was quite crowded there.

Just thought I'd share, as I've seen people complain that there's not enough mob spawns/camps.

That happened to me earlier, I think the UI got messed up after changing screen resolution when I switched to windowed mode. Just had to restart the game and the quest UI thingo moved back to the right. Could also try the /reloadui command.

i'M PROBABLY doing something terribly wrong as far as understanding node management works

If you're trying to collect/retrieve your contribution points (this will deactivate the node so you can use your points elsewhere) I'm pretty sure you can't with an active worker doing a job, and in your screenshot you do. Not sure if that's what you're trying to do though.

Hmm, what even is a Gift Letter of Repayment? Just noticed I got a reward for reaching Level 10 and have to choose something.

Also, with nodes, I've finally gotten a couple contribution points, it all has to start at Olvia?

The boat/wagon durability decreases while you use it.

Boats can't be recovered so when durability becomes 0 you need to craft / buy a new one.

With nodes you can start whenever you want.

Cities / towns no need to invest as are invested when you arrive there, also cant withdraw from it.

The smart option is connect nodes, so you can have trade routes.

Gift letter of repayment is kind of a random gift you can send to a stranger/someone who has helped you out. It seems most people just trade them with someone else who also has one. Not sure what you can get from each of them, but that is basically it.

Anyone have any good fishing guides to use? While I try to decide what to do as a whole with the game, I'd like to just go and fish and kill a few things here and there.

Is eu guild active? Thinking if I should go there or maybe just go with USA in case guild dies like back with the GW2. And how's the EU server besides that our guild is on there?
 
Everything about this sounds awesome, I would love to try this out. Does anyone have one of those 7 day guest pass things that they'll never use? Because that would be rad.

Running at 1080P/50hz fullscreen, very high setting.
I'm noticing less stuttering in the past 2 days compared to last weekend.
Maybe server load issue was causing the stuttering..who knows.

Open field: gpu/cpu utilization

In town: gpu/cpu utilization

As you can see from above, game isn't stressing my cpu/gpu too much.
I'm sure you can run the game fine in med setting unless your computer has pentium 4 or amd cpu.
