  @Razvan Imo change to CC (that they wouldn´t stack) is quite recent, so we´ll either see it in another free weekend/alpha or devs will inform us through Pills. Let´s be patient.

  @Razvan said in Primitive weapons: @Yitra said in Primitive weapons: @Razvan said in Primitive weapons: The game will be A LOT more grindy than most people on the forums assume or it will fail within a couple of month after release because... what will people on Arboreus do after they unlock almost everything in the first 1-2 weeks? What will keep people pve-ing long term? Enjoy the sunshine, have some tails tales around the fireplace (RP) and kick the shit out of those invaders if the time has come. Besides that we have the dungeons, fishing, maybe become an abomination. And unlock 400 * 3 levels of skill in 1-2 weeks ? Not everyone is a completionist and if your gamble is that RP will keep people playing, you appeal to a very niche kind of player from a genre that is almost a niche itself. We RP-ers let you crazy PvP people pay for the game :). On a serious note, of course, is that (RP) for a small percentage of the population of the game, that is why I mentioned the other stuff. But you also have to keep in mind that there are a lot of (older) players who can (on average) spend max 2 hours a day (besides maybe weekends and holidays) on gaming. We have the patience to enjoy the game as it comes. Rushing through content is no option, nor wanted. If Invasions will be a daily event (we don't know yet, and how time-consuming will they be, can I avoid them or not, so many questions) I will never come to a point that I can say: "Kill me now, I have seen it all"

  I think a bit of trashtalk is always fine in pvp mmo's as long as it doesn't get out of hand like rassism or doxxing etc. And btw we should stop hijacking threads and get back to OP

  @Razvan said in When will shop items become available ?: Sorry to necro this thread, but I didn't want to start a new one. Anyway, I have some questions about the cosmetic items. I read that they are bound to the account, so my guess is that dropping them on death or selling them it's impossible. Is that correct? Can I use the same cosmetic item on 2 characters from my account in the same time? There are some pets and decorations for sale right now. Will these be exclusive to early access, or they will remain in store when the game does live? The shop stuff will change eventually I think you will eventually lose the chance to buy them. You can use cosmetics on all chars and swap and change skins at will They want to avoid pay to win so I think you wont be able to sell cosmetics but I dont know

  ...and if not the actual builder like this, then at least list of abilities with short description (what it does - dmg, cd, mana consumption etc., what attribute it uses, what weapons it needs, what´s the save against it ), because Im pretty sure most guys have already made a ton of builds with just stats. Wouldn´t take that much time to make ( in older videos we´re seen many abilities already in game - shield charge, leap attack, "pentagram ground based burning", summoning skeletons, shield bubbles, rock throw, invisibility etc. - there´s no need to put them into alpha already, just give us a peek at some new ones) and theorycrafters would have second christmas

  @Tero-Kaze that sounds like a great idea and I feel you would this mean that we would have too kill tons of people with the same skill to learn it or would we have too kill the exact same person I'm thinking the first option

  @Gothix said in Game F2P or P2P: "Demo planet" could be a world that already exists in Alpha, that we are testing now. Just keep it on separate instance separated from real game world (and of course polished up with all the retail fixes), and use it as demo. sure could!!

  @Nyquil44 Luck sure will be important, but only future will show how reliable "higher damage thanks to lucky rolls" will be. However luck is not only offensive stat, it improves your defence as well which is awesome. Perception on the other way is only offence and it seems super high aim has bigger diminishing returns than defences.

  @delexis said in Will the game have seasonal Holidays mixed in with the mythology of the game?: Something similar to Halloween or Xmas. Of course there will be the classical seasonal holidays and also some special events and festivals related to our deities!

  Hello @Azurose is there going to be grouping system Yes, but it's not yet implemented. Is this going to be a crafting centered game or drops? Crafting is going to play a prominent role. Monsters will drop loot that makes sense, so rabbits won't be carrying coins on them. Also can i upgrade purchase packs at a later date? Yes, you can. Is the kickstarter over or can I still contribute through there? The Kickstarter is over and the packs were retired a while ago. The only available packs are the ones available in the store. The game plays quite well currently. It was a mess during the stress test due to the large influx of people but performance hasn't been an issue during the various alphas. The vast majority of the crafting system hasn't been implemented yet though, so I can't say much about that.

  @Xzoviac said in So that went well, huh?: @Jetah said in So that went well, huh?: from what it seems like, DS jumped some bullet points and decided to offer a stress test hoping to get more funding for the game. (guess here nothing with proof). normally in an alpha you increase the number of participants so that your hardware and software can be looked at as you increase the concurrent connections. I believe it would have been great to allow some foundation members access for a limited time to increase the 'stress' on the systems. i look forward to seeing what happened, how it's being looked into and how it'll be prevented in the future. GGG (path of exile) developers did the same thing with problems and it works great for the community. Chris has posted about problems within the code and Leagues where he says what went wrong, how it went wrong, how they plan to never have that happen again and the community loves it. Not being funny but 300 people is not a lot a server should easily handle that, the stress test was the right thing to do as it found a massive issue with the server structure. The fact ithis bug was found sooner rather the later is a good thing as it could need some core features of the code changing or anything Ds imo made the right decision for development, and opening up the server to the public was simply a stress test as advertised if you're a small indie development team, you want a little hardware for your development and testing. You offer a stress test and only figure x amount of hardware to see stats on how it handles. If the hardware can scale, that's great, but you have to pay for the extra hardware. they want the minimum hardware for the most amount of users. I used 300 but it could have been 30k.
