This variation seems to bug quite often yes, we got the Choya that went crazy like that with tha ability when we tried it yesterday.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

The way mounts control in this is cool.

 

[Jira]

No feeling it, but that is probably because they throw you into it instead of learning the abilities through hours of play

Yeah if you're coming into the game for the first time at level 80, you're going to be pretty confused as to how the combat works and what you should be doing and when.

 

[Boss Doggie]

finally I can give up the speed trait if mounts are this fast.

Love that you don't slow down to combat speed when hit either. Fucking glorious. One of my pet peeves for the game. Hated walking to a crawl because a pebble hit me.

I know WvW players consider map changes to be taboo, but the centaur camps in Alpine and EB should be redesigned into mount stables for players to grab mounts

they changed certain parts of EBG map I think, like the Overwatch Post having different terrain

Hopefully winterberries farm will be a lot less annoying.

Saw this in Reddit and I dunno if this has been shared.

Go to the options -> general, and look at the lowest box. Check it.

Basically it disables mount skills overriding certain buttons like the spacebar. Really useful so that your regular mount jump won't say, become a leap.

 

[Lmo911]

That raptor! ! Just crazily well implemented. I love how it handles like a motorcycle when you take turns and your character even animates like they're actually riding them! I It just oozes personality. You can tell they put some time into them.

If they're all that good I need more mount based things to do in game. I want to race from one side of the planet to the other! :X

And we need a boat now to complete land, sea and air!

I had the game for 2 years and never got past 10, so i can't really complain

 

[Ashodin]

I'm actually betting now each mount will have a different "feel" to how they control. Making each one feel like they're useful and unique in their use.

 

[Manac0r]

Jumped back in after 4 years... only ever levelled to lvl 17 back in the day. Really enjoying the changes and forgot how relaxed it is to play, especially without the pressure of a monthly sub.

Any must reads for a complete beginner?

I hate this chef event. So many ingredients, not that much time, he loves to run around just as I throw it and sometimes it has even not hit him even when I threw it while the circle was over him.

Annoying as anything.

Besides that, I'm enjoying the beta so far. pretty fun.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I know the stuff you get from the demo doesn't carry over... but don't you earn karma and gold there and it goes directly into your account? Same with mats? What happens if you spend them?

 

[Ashodin]

the game essentially has doubled your account and everything is dummied, including bank, karma, etc, everything. So getting mats means nothing.

 

[Wag]

It's too bad I can't play the game anymore. The UI is too small to read on my 4k display.

4 years later still no proper UI scaling. Makes downsampling useless as well.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought they'd give you a preset karma/gold, was confused when they start with the same gold / karma as you

 

[Hupsel]

Any idea if there is more for the solo player to do to get XP? I guess that bounties are only group content? I got one and it told me to kill a legendary minion :< At least it seems that the quest hearts are back, but it doesnt look like there will be a lot of them!

Are you trying to get... mastery? during the beta? What are you trying to do.

Because nothing really matters in the beta, it'll get wiped soon.

they're following the quest hearts of the LS3 maps where they're few, but repeatable daily (you only need to do them once for "completion" though)

 

[Massicot]

edit: Whoops, thought I was in the OT

 

[Easy_D]

Fuck man, gonna get HoT and this and just get lost in all the new content. I've only played vanilla lol, did all the hearts because I liked the world that much.

 

[Boss Doggie]

bobblehead works in PoF demo

 

[GhostWriter24]

Looks like something I need to pay a ton of $ to actually be decent at. No thx.

 

[Freeman76]

I enjoyed every minute of map completion on the base game. HoT turned me right off that, most of the maps are a pain to navigate but luckily the events are fun so I got value from those for a while. Came back for LW season 3 and some of those maps are a real return to form. I have 100% all of them except Draconis Mons (I dont enjoy convoluted vertical exploration) and it bodes well for the direction they will take with PoF.

Dont know where you read that but you dont need to spend a penny to be decent at this game. Your loss, unless you want to properly educate yourself before dismissing something.

Good luck with that when the cash shop is just things like cosmetics and bank tab expansions

Ask a mod to move this post over to the Black Desert thread for you.

lmao what

 

[Massicot]

He might be referring to Elite Specs being behind expansions, I suppose.

 

[Freeman76]

Even that is bullshit though because without the relevant expansion the game wasnt made for those elite specs anyway.

 

[Boss Doggie]

LMAO

 

[Memory]

Go CDkeys.com and you can get POF for £20 and HOT for £10, both contain the base game. The amount of content in both is enough to last you for years.

Once you have everything or played for a while then you'll have enough gold to buy what you want off the cosmetic shop anyway.

 

[Boss Doggie]

One thing I do hate is the generic "gear". Now you have to spend to see if it's rare or not. I'd rather have the old one thanks, I hope the older maps aren't affected by this.

 

[Shanlei91]

Finally got around to playing it for a bit. Probably the first time the GW2 story actually interested me. I really like the new town - raptor racing against other players is great. Also got floored by a giant quaggan looking boss bounty.

I'm more interested in the new specs next week.

lol Please outline the thought process that brought about this conclusion.

 

[Ashodin]

The Choya? They have butts.

 

[Gin-Shiio]

Guild Wars 2 must have the best black women in the MMO business. Goddamn.

 

[Weltall Zero]

lol Please outline the thought process that brought about this conclusion.

I can do that outline:
"Let's low-key troll the thread and hope the mods don't notice".

 

[Easy_D]

Yeah playing the base content in Free-Tier hasn't left me feeling limited in any way lol

 

[Ashodin]

Guild Wars 2 must have the best black women in the MMO business. Goddamn.

you got that right

 

[Memory]

Guild Wars 2 must have the best black women in the MMO business. Goddamn.

The amount of black hair styles for women in this one game is more than every AAA game released in the last 6 years combined. Only the Saints Row games come close to matching them and the last one was released in 2011.

The quality however is unmatched, they've almost perfected the frizz/kink & curl. My actual hairstyle is achievable in this game, it's is insane that in 30 years only one game has achieved this feat.

 

[Ashodin]

Reminder, this is back this weekend with the elite specializations!

 

[Massicot]

Just bumping this because the beta is up.

I know we knew about them beforehand but I'm just getting a kick out of reading the new skill tooltips.

 

[Boss Doggie]

oh god that holosmith

 

[Ashodin]

oh god that holosmith

it's everything you want it to be
