Sorry, turns out I'm not the brightest. For the first time in a decade I spelled my own username wrong. (Hopefully I can fix it some day once I get enough zen)
My character name in game is:
Sen Mourotaru@Mouroutaru
Here are a couple protips/advice.
-you can que for dungeons/PvP from start menu just tab over to Ques
-you can buy wards,marks, scrolls from start menu tab over till you see wondrous bazaar-store-consumables
-smart glass works but app must be on, in game chat has to be started for it to work (my experience)
-Or use keyboard as someone mentioned above
-don't forget to get your items from some events (carthaxis Dragon) menu over on top right select success to get your rewards
-theres hope for more inventory space ,you do get another bag (12slot) in the graveyard territory after completing most of the quests
-Feats go up to 20 points after that it's paragon power points (secondary tree), so choose wisely for those, but you can do a reset for Astrals
Will add more as I go

Want to get some input on your opinion of the Need/Greed system in this game.
So, the way things are right now as I see them, you either have a usable item that you can roll on or you don't. For example, anything for a specific class that you're not currently playing shows in red and it's an easy decision to 'greed' if you choose to, or 'pass.' There should be no reason to need on it in this scenario. You can't directly use it, therefore you either greed or pass - at least I always do.
But let's say something like a belt or boots come up and they are perfectly usable by you, will you need on them? The reason I ask is because unless I'm missing something, you can't really see how good the item is until you have it in you possession.
Up until now, I've been greeding on everything usable unless it's a blue item and then I need as it's more likely to be an upgrade. But again, I don't know for sure. In other games, you can see all the stats before making this decision but it seems like here, that's not the case.
I can't get into the game right now but is there an option to inspect these items when the loot roll comes up that I'm not seeing? Wouldn't be the first time I've missed something right in front of me... lol

I read elsewhere that you get a free respec when you hit 60, too.

My outstanding policy is pass on all red items, greed on class-generic items, greed on all green-quality class specific items, and need only on rare or better class specifics. I'll probably miss out on some good stuff, but I figure the good karma will work out for me eventually

I think that's a good way to go about it for sure. But to my other question, are we rolling on stuff we can't see the actual stats on? So it's all one big guess in the end anyways?My outstanding policy is pass on all red items, greed on class-generic items, greed on all green-quality class specific items, and need only on rare or better class specifics.

I think you can see the stats on some of it, though I've only grouped up the one time so grain of salt. It's just the unidentified stuff you can't see beforehand.
The action point spell? It's the middle orb that fills up as you fight

Basically when you use your main, "At-Will" and "Encounter" abilities, you build up Action Points which slowly builds up that center icon. When it's full, you can then use the "Daily" ability you have set.
There can also be abilities which influence speeding up the acquisition of Action Points as well.

Thank you kindly!
Actually it doesn't look like I'm in. Is there something I have to do on my end?

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not but I didn't see anything in the OP.
Is the game cross platform with the PC version? I remember playing the game on PC when it first came out. Wonder how good it's doing now.

Anyone have the list of bonuses for the Dragonborn race? I.E. +2 to which stat(s), resistance to magic or bonus to something (crit %, crit dmg, etc).
I'm considering starting this before I'm TOO far behind the curve but I'd only really be interested in Dragonborn race or perhaps drow.

Drow rogue is a fun build, but then I saw some guy who looked almost 100% identical running around with the name Drizzt, so I'm reconsidering some of my life choices.]
As for the Dragonborn, they get some nice stuff.
+5% healing received.
+2 to any(!) 2 stats.
+Dragonborn Fury: 5% chance on attack to apply Dragonborn Fury, increasing Power and Crit by 3%.
Dayum.

Dragonborn Rogue it is then. Lol.

Cool, that'll be 75 bucks.

Nah man that's only if you buy the full pack. The basic dragonborn option is only what 2500 which translates into 20 or 25 bucks?
Besides, $$ isn't an issue. If I'm happy with my starting choices I never have to spend other $$. Unlike WoW which charged me $15 a month for 2.5 years. F- that.

Actually come to think about it the only really great thing here is the 5% healing received. Some other races get permanent 1% bonus to something. With dragonborn, there's only a 5% chance to get the dragonborn fury proc. So one in 20 attacks will get that 3% bonus to proc. Meanwhile the other 19 get nothing. I'd rather get 1% every time (for a total of 20 attacks with 1% bonus) than to have only a 1 in 20 chance of DB fury proccing. I guess it depends on how long it lasts after it procs. If it procs on say, the 4th or 5th strike but it's a large battle and the proc lasts 30 seconds or something, it could be hugely beneficial. But as a rogue (especially in PvP where you'd be assassinating a single high-value target) it may not be as beneficial as a perma-bonus.
Adding +2 to any 2 stats is great, but if you pick the right race for your class, you'll likely get the +2 to the two stats you would've put it into anyway.
May have to rethink. I'm considering hunter instead of rogue anyway. Those were my first two classes in DAoC and my 2nd and 3rd classes in WoW. Have always liked hunters and rogues.
I did that the other day just got profession stuff and the gems you put in items.

Logged out after getting my scourge warlock to lvl35. Gone fury DPS build.
Is there anyway to remove the annoying text in the middle of the screen every time someone opens a lockbox and finds a mount?

From what I hear I don't think there is. It's their way of saying "hey you should spend money on these!".
I dunno though since I haven't played yet. Maybe if you can turn off system notifications somewhere in the options?
count me in!

I did the same. purchased the 1000 zen and got the enchanted keys.
Opened about 8 boxes and got nothing really interesting. Which is annoying when every 10 seconds or so you get a big wall of text on the screen "character name received a drake mount"
This game needs some enhanced UI options as at present everything is just to big and takes up too much screen space.
You guys are killing me. I told myself I wouldn't spend money on keys. Now I'm thinking I'll buy some when I log on later today.
This. I would love an option to turn off the HUD. Or fade it out when not in combat.

I was actually thinking that the +bonus to healing would make them a great tank class, honestly. The extra damage would just be a nice bonus.

Be happy, IMO.
Though unless they raise the refining limit, you'll still be capped at 24,000 usable ones per day.

I decided to reroll a new character and ended up choosing a Dwarf Cleric. And I am having way more fun playing this character than the Great Warrior class. The cleric is a fun class that does some decent damage and has some great healing options. Figured it might be the best option since I plan on soloing most of the game. (I hate people)
We need to get some groups together for some dungeon runs soon!

Doubt it, hardly anyone talks so it can't be cross chat.
