Stealth is not that good later in the game, it's fine when leveling to avoid confrontation, but it's far from necessary.Originally Posted by Crazedkilla

If you haven't played the game yet, you may want to play OBT to get a feel of the game.

Stealth is possibly the most important skill any person can take, if possible. The uses for such are endless and certainly play a major role in trade running and pvp.
Did they say when we were wiping or getting moved to testing server or whatever they decided on? Will that be after CB or after OB if anyone knows?

Didn't try the game, just saw it and it looked fun and intense. Now I'm wondering if this is going to run on my crap HD 4600 graphics before I get myself a real PC.
Oh and since I'm totally new is there a good site with guides and theory crafting for classes and such?

Except unless you sub deep shadowplay, it's an entire tree wasted.

There' archeagedatabase and arche-base. Both have good skill calculator, with arcehagedatabase being more accurate in terms of what the abilities actually do. Arche-base, however, has a better build searching features to find the builds/guides others have put out. Arche-base also shows all possible combos for a build.

these are the skills i'd recommend from shadowplay. I would never pick up any of the other skills or passives to be honest.
Mages could drop some of the melee skills in here, they generally need to get 10+ in the magic trees to get any real damage so shadowplay as mages i'd just grab drop back and shadowstep.

ehhh i find defiler a bit lackluster but any MAGE with def+witch right now (until update 1.7) is very OP. The two best defwitch mages are shadowknight and dreambreaker. Defiler is okay I guess... but at launch I am probably gonna go shadowknight.or you could play the op defiler and wreck shit without stealth
occultism/defense/witchcraft

@JK which server was that or you're talking about alpha? I was on Arenab or something in closed beta and a lot of them were a-hole's.
Edit: Anyone tried crusader? Opinions please

I'm kind of on the fence on what class I want to go with. I've played and enjoyed both Primeval and Daggerspell. But, I've seen a lot of convincing arguments for (as Shark pointed out) witchcraft + defense builds. So I too am thinking of a Shadowknight. I'm just wondering how well it'll work out in small and large group combat, where it may be hard to make use of the CCs.
The issues I found with Daggerspell were when going against certain tanky classes like Abolisher. My friend (who was a Darkrunner) and I (as Primeval) went against a level 42 Abolisher (when we were level 40) and basically got our ass handed to us. Of course, that could simply be because he was the better player and knew things we didn't that allowed him to get us down. In that fight, he was able to kill the Darkrunner and get away from me before I could kill him. Perhaps it'll be better at level 50?
In Daggerspell... I think I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. It was fun, occasionally I had issues when people focused me in team fights. But other than that, didn't really notice any issues. So maybe I should just stick with that.

Anyone know if we will be able to link our steam accounts to trion/archeage account for those who didn't buy on steam? Or if we'll be able to buy microtransaction points with steam wallet?

I was on Ollo for beta and the community was VERY helpful. Not to mention on the forums, MOST people seem to want to help each other out. I've made a bunch of ? posts and received a lot of very thought-out long answers.

Until you check the official forums, which is filled with the biggest hate for F2P players I've ever encountered.

I honestly don't see any hate for F2P, not counting the obvious trolls. I see a lot of people who argue for lesser F2P restrictions (which Trion has ceded that they are working with XL to achieve this). And then there are the Founders who have put money into the game who fear that lesser F2P restrictions will equate to a more P2W cash shop. A majority of people bought into Founders with the stipulation of "No tricks, no traps" as Trion promised. Then we see that they agree to remove LP cost from opening quest gear, agree to adjust the F2P LP regeneration (though we've yet to see either... here's to hoping it's in Open Beta/release). And then the cash shop gets a slew of items that a lot of people consider "P2W" and a lot of Founders get up-at-arms, as they see a connection.
There's a massive difference between "hate" and concerned discussion. Just see through the three or four trolls that exist on both sides of the argument and you see a lot of serious and in-depth discussion.

What I don't get is why paying users still have to pay to get 100% of the content? Like if I pay for the game I wanna have the bigger backpack and all the custom items.

Then free 2 play is not for you. Pretty simple.
Want 100% of the content? P2P.
It's hilarious how people seem to think F2P= 100% free

What.
He's talking about how we have to spend more money on expansion upgrades, when we're already paying $15 for patron, which should rightfully include it.
The sub is already higher than the foreign versions.

Because F2P isn't designed for people who just want to spend a monthly fee, even if it has a 'optional' sub. If You want 100% of the game content then go P2P. WoW only has mounts/pets in their store (and a level boost). FFXIV it just a monthly fee and Eve has plex.
This game since it went F2P, no matter how good it is, Is nothing but a cash grab.
I agree that patron status should get cash shop currency to spend in the cash shop. I don't ever see that happening, do you?

They have already changed a lot of things based on feedback, so I don't see why not.
