I have long suspected that the game uses 6 HIT = 1 DMG for balancing purposes. When your data is converted into DMG multipliers, it seems like this holds true. Observed DMG Multiplier = (MISS*0 + GLANCE*0.5 + HIT*1 + HEAVY*1.25 + CRIT*1.5)/(MISS + GLANCE + HIT + HEAVY + CRIT) Predicted DMG...

I just don't understand people. Time has value. For me personally, I've spent over $18,000 in opportunity cost by playing this game in the past year. The $10/mo. is wildly insignificant and shouldn't be the reason anyone plays or doesn't play a game. Like, if you can't afford $10 a month, then...

So, you think you should be able to get exactly what you want without paying? Am I reading that right?

Are you sure you disagree?

If new players can't afford to interact with the auction house, then how does the auction house make new players happy? In WoW, whenever I made a new player, I would take all gathering professions and then put low lvl mats on the AH and make a ton of gold -- much more than a new character at...

My concern is that the auction house facilitates trade without counters in place to prevent market saturation or to encourage actually playing the game. It provides more incentive to lvl as quickly as possible to make more gold, so you can just purchase the items you want. Games like WoW...

Very much afraid of the auction house.

Yeah, I understand why they were made, and I'm not going to stop playing because of them, but I still don't like them :P

Not a fan of many of the recent changes that seem to compromise the spirit of the game :/

I am already aware of this, and it's clearly not what I meant.

It doesn't, though. Different players seeing different things is one of the main things I hate about modern games. I literally found this game by searching for an "mmo without instances" precisely because I want to have a persistent world with a shared experience.

That's literally their main current objective, and the game is completely free to play until it happens.

If it's the same thing, then you already have your compass, right?

Not at all. You have to think ahead. For instance, if you have an already pretty tough pull, and then all of a sudden there are extra adds that you didn't plan to have, you use ember abilities NOW to do more damage and kill them faster, to mitigate more damage, or to save stamina for heals...

I been playing since July 1 on Linux Mint Xfce with Lutris using wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, and it's been fine. I never even bothered to try a different Wine version.
