Ok on Crimson legion. Now we can truely start.
Oh yeah, I heard the early weapon remains relevant through the entire game. It also changes in appearance as well, doesn't it?

Do you guys use discord? Much better than team speak and vent.

It looks like you can customize the appearance by using other weapons. So if you see a really cool sword or axe, but the stats are bleah, you can still get the look but keep the strength of your main weapon.
You'll want to hang onto some blue weapons though, as they're required for breakthroughs. I stupidly burned through mine on crafting so now I have to wait until I stumble over another.
Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to hang on to them. I know all too well the feeling of discarding something important.
Are we able to use the wardrobe in the beta? There's tons of outfits in there, but I've no idea how to equip them, if we can.

I'm worried that my wife is not going to like this more action style MMO.
It might be too quick for her

Discord can be a pain to join channels and stuff due to the invite system.....you can't easily search a group or user from what I remember
But, we do have a mumble server

Apparently there isn't too much in terms of high skill aiming like in Dragon Nest / Vindictus, seems more based on mind games, baiting moves, and spacing than raw execution.

Hi, guys. I am interested enough in this game to consider buying the founder's pack but I would like a few questions answered if you don't mind.
1) Is this a TAB targeting game after which you just press numbers on your keyboard to do attacks or is it more action oriented like Bayonetta or Dark Souls?
2) Is the game instanced or open world?
3) Do enemies respawn on the map?
4) Is the game story driven or is it just a grind fest for better equipment?

1. You target with your mouse. You use LMB, RMB, Tab, 1,2,3,4, F, Z,X,C, and V for skills. What those skills are depends on the context of both your current and the target's status.
2. Both? There's an open world you do some questing in, but often you delve into mini-dungeons solo or grouped. There are also normal 6-man dungeons. And for some story content you go into your own instance (such as entering a building).
3. In the open world, yes.
4. There's a story, yes... but you can just grind if you want.
1) Not tab targeting. More action based.
2) open fields with instanced dungeons
3) yes
4) It has story but also a grind fest

So it is like Skyforge?
How does this game compare to Final Fantasy XIV? Is it better?
ShinMaruku
Member
It's kinda like sky forge but a bit more action based. Compared to FF14? It plays completely differently with it's battle system, you move around differently. I like it better than FF14 because I hate hotkey traditional MMOs.

Well that is good to hear, I dislike them too, but lately I can't find an mmo that can compare to Vindictus which is the king of action mmos. If this game could surpass it it would be great since I am getting mighty tired of Vindictus.
I also getting tired of the traditional hotkey mmo's..i am still thinking of buying the biggest founder pack i want to invest in a new mmo..hopefully at launch there is enough content and more down the line.

It only took them a few years...
I was interested maybe a year or two ago. Now it's just no urge for this.

Well, I was interested since 2009 trailer.
I also lost interest and it looks a bit dated now but I would have a lot of ' what ifs 'if I skip this without at least trying out.

I'm seeing that premium membership does. If one of you guys can make it online for Mushin, I'll gladly gift it. However, I also have seen one story where apparently it does not help. Dunno. I've seen it work for more than not.
