Ask me your NDA breaking questions!

[Flimgoblin]

Shields can block everything,even spells thought not sure is that intended feature.Basically they pretty good

There is guard skill aswell,you guard the person and he only get hit by 50% of the damage meanwhile you getting rest.

it's intended.

Willpower improves your chance to Disrupt spells
Initiative improves your chance to Dodge ranged attacks.
Weapon skill improves your chance to Parry melee attacks.

Block works against all three Hold the line!

sorry for the small bump, didn't want to start a whole new thread!

Is there an account vault keeper kind of thing, where you can easily transfer money/loot to an alt?

 

[Chrismorris]

Not sure, you could mail them i suppose.

 

[Reno]

There's a working mail system, so you can mail cash/items to alts.
The (guild)vault I haven't seen operational yet, neither the auctioneer.

 

[pikeh]

thanks both

Don't think there's any insta rezzes, but there isnt any wear or tear on items at all.

Also they said that there would be no housing implemented into game.

Resurrects Shamans have an ability to ress someone but they cannot be stopped. I think it's instant, however the shaman is stunned for 3 seconds after.

 

[Andrilyn]

Also with topped High Magic / Mork & Gork you can insta cast any spell, including a rez.

Dat Makes Me Dizzy Healing
Core Ability Level 40

1 Slot Career Tactic No range
Passive No cooldown
Your can now resurrect allies instantly, but you are stunned for 3 seconds after casting.

 

[Reno]

IIrc The Archmage has/had the same tactic.

 

[Iceforge]

Also, the shaman has a instant pbaoe rezz (30feet range) from morale (rank 4)

Is there any difference in being in a Warband than having one grp? for instance do grp buffs work in the the warband etc?

Sorry if I'm being a bit late with this one, but sitll: one of the main points with being in a warband is that you share all experience, loot and influence gained. Also, some quests like "kill 10 rats" or "gather 10 rat-tails" then each kill will count for every player in the warband, no matter who kills the rat.

Compare to wow where you could not do normal quests while you were in a raid group. Here you can!

 

[Flimgoblin]

are you sure that works for the warband and not just everyone in your group in the warband?

Didn't notice it but can't say I tested it (or even thought about it)...

Excellent if it's true - means the standard HG group won't have to have one person sat getting almost no xp

great thread, lots of info i enjoyed reading through. one thing that i'm surprised hasn't been asked - anyone have a rough idea how long 1-40 will take? :>

Flimgoblin: Actually, most of the time I was in a warband I had such a great time killing things, so I didn't actually "test" how xp etc was shared. But if it was divided over only the party it would be so vasty unfair to the poor buggers who got put into the "healer squad". I am however pretty sure I get credit for kills done by any member of the wb. It is very visible when I have a killingquest on a mob that is also part of a PQ.

Exsdee: most people suggest about 200 hours for an average player. There are _very_ big possibilities for variations. There are a lot of not very xp-giving but fun things to do, such as roaming the world looking for hidden places and tome unlocks. And in the first hour you can easily break lvl 5 if you are a competent mmo-player. Just do the quests and don't enjoy the world.

I did lvl 31 -> 33 on a pretty relaxed gaming saturday on my chosen. So I actually think I could get 1-40 done in less then 150 hours. But I will not rush this through. the endgame will hang around, even if it takes me a week longer to get there and the world is so full of strange things and excellently written texts.

 

[eksdee]

interesting, thanks!

Sounds normal for an MMO when it's about to get released as they don't want their customers lvling to quick

whats the baf system like? does only one mob come if you pull from a camp or does it do it wow style and everything in a 2 mile radius come at you?

In beta it was just one mob at a time, from my experiance anyway.

Most of the time it was one and one. Tho at times they baf´d, most of the times you can easily spot if the mobs are linked or not.

 

[Chrismorris]

Yea mobs would normally be standing alone but in most areas a group of 3 would be walking around aswell.

Cool, I'll maybe try and run a proper test come live just to confirm what gets shared (if it's just quest credit, or if you get a split of the xp/rp as well)

for a casual solo player who just plays the game and explores and tries out diff stuff, 200 ish hours could be realistic.

dedicated guilds who plan ahead will probably be able to field level 40`s by the end of the headstart.

We managed to do level 37 - 40 in about 5 hours with 4 people in the slayer keep in kadrin doing AE grinding.

so, for a TEAM who knows what they are doing, it might be done in less than 40 hours with some mind numbingly boring AE grinding.

 

[eksdee]

mind numbing is what pve is about
