    The Ultimate Juggernaut Class Guide

    Please port this guide to Steam, now that forums are being deprecated. It's been super helpful! Also please add some specific armor recommendations I am nearing level 30 and don't even know what to look for at that level. I am rocking a sexy Oiled Tin Quarter-Plate set right now, with Thick...

    DPS'n advice

    Yes DPS in my spreadsheet is strictly from autoattacks. There is a column showing damage per hit too. But, DPS with ability use will depend on which abilities you use and in what order, I cannot cover all those possibilities. But, autoattack damage is an important part of your overall damage and...

    What are you playing currently?

    I played that for a good while, on an old Steam account that I've since lost. Project Gorgon was janky but had a ton of charm. I loved the combinable classes & skills, especially whimsicall ones like Psychology with Tell Me About Your Mother. :-D

    What are you playing currently?

    I am playing Embers Adrift regularly and just started Drova, a single-player game styled after Gothic (or so the reviews say, I'd never heard of that game).

    DPS'n advice

    There's 15 mauls on that list, and they are all 2H! My Juggernaut's only level 21, he hasn't come across most of the higher-level stuff yet.

    The Ultimate Juggernaut Class Guide

    So I've got my Juggernaut to level 20 and am having a blast! Even got that Field Tiller off Stryga. I'm wondering though about mauls. Is there a reason to prefer them over another weapon type of equivalent (or even better) DPS? Is the chunky damage of a slower weapon better somehow, say for...

    DPS'n advice

    I've finally done up a spreadsheet to take all this into account, with a filter set up to focus on role, levels, etc. Let me know what you think! I hope it's clear to people who are into this level of detail. The intent was not to just show Best Weapon, since ability use and stats are also...

    Game Status

    Lack of minimap and GPS is what sold me on this game (immediately), and their presence would be a pretty hard dealbreaker for me. It's bad enough we have the compass now, even if it is optional. I like navigating by knowledge and landmarks.

    QA January 15th

    I would make a snarky comment about people not even knowing what zone they were in, but when I stumbled into Redshore Ridge at level 16, I had no clue it had happened. Of course, the map told me I was in Redshore....

    Free Trial Instruction - Try Embers Adrift for Free

    I had that happen once, and restored to an earlier Time Machine backup of the game. It had to update again, but then was able to launch. If you don't have a backup, you might have to download the game anew.

    Reconstituted TIn

    I just lucked into several pieces of this armor in Karst. But, I have a set that's giving me 294 AC right now, and the Reconstituted TIn is significantly less AC. Does the +1 Resilience per piece make up for that pretty well?

    Why use bucklers?

    They have really low AC and I don't see many 1H weapons that offer parry & riposte. Do you use bucklers? If so, why?

    Thoughts from a New Player

    Back in my day "instancing" was about dungeons, every group got their own private little dungeon on entering.

    where is everyone

    There are other games out there. And there are more constructive, less antagonistic ways of criticizing this one.

    QA November 19th

    What if my keybind for Hail already includes Shift? Wouldn't it be simpler to just have keybind for "Hail Offensive Target" and "Hail Defensive Target"? (I know, I know, there are already so many. A collapsible grouped list (movement, targeting, hotbar, etc.) would be a nice addition to the...

    What is the significance of a candle near a mailbox? Is it so you can read your messages in the dark? :-D

    Feedback Shouldn't need unique email for each account

    I am asked for a login id when I create an account, I shouldn't have to also have a unique email address for each account. I figured I'd finally do it to be able to create low-level toons and help new players out, but I am not gonna bloat my email even further by adding another account. I get...
