Cool.

Actually sinse I last went through slo about 5 or 6 years ago, things likely 
have changed a lot. I am a little sorry about the 326 hours work, but hay no 
point worrying.


I think the various sorts of dayly jobs will help me at least a lot with the 
grinding issue. I always found in games it was much easier to motivate 
myself when I had some specific goal to accomplish, one reason why the 
grinding only became an issue on arcase because up to that ponit I'd got 
more than enough quests to keep me going.
While obviously pregenerated jobs aren't the same as specific quests, there 
still is something about working towards a specific sub goal rather than 
just trying to grind up x million xp because.


That is also why I like the none combat activities, I always wanted to try 
potion brewing (especially because I kept finding random potion ingredients 
during my exploration),  and I think I'll enjoy playing with suntraps and 
such when I get there, which hopefully won't be too long :D.


All the best,

Dark.

We've added a handful of new areas to the islands, including two new
areas and an area expansion on archais.  It probably won't completely
fix the grinding issue, but it definitely has made things better.  Let

I always enjoyed the manual bits of being a necro, like making minians

I don't know about third and fourth, sinse clerric, thief and necro all 
have advantages, though I might just ttdruid for minians and forget necro 
but use clerric for healing and buffs.


Actually i really look forward to trying the jobs and such. My one 
problem last time was arcase just got too draggy with constant grinding 
(god I got sick of that viking village raid), so having jobs and some of 
the other new stuff to do will be good, also judging by the power of some 
attack spells, combat with magic as opposed to stats looks pretty 
efficient, another reason I decided to try mage and the direct damage

definitely nice to play Alter again, it's been far too long, hopefully it 
won't take me another 300 odd hours to get back to level 26 :D.

We've added a handful of new areas to the islands, including two new
areas and an area expansion on archais.  It probably won't completely
fix the grinding issue, but it definitely has made things better.  Let

[Audyssey] Well I decided on a lcass

2016-04-21 Thread dark 
Well I decided on Druid mage. I've had pretty much a hole bunch of 
recommendations for nearly every combo (ironiccally apart from clerric primary 
which is what I had last time), however i decided in the end to go for just 
what looked fun. 

I always enjoyed the manual bits of being a necro, like making minians and 
undead and such, and I liked the druid carving totems. I always wanted to try 
brewing mage potions sinse I do enjoy exploring, and as the druid has minians 
of their own I thought necro might be overkill on the minians, so decided to go 
druid mage. 

I don't know about third and fourth, sinse clerric, thief and necro all have 
advantages, though I might just ttdruid for minians and forget necro but use 
clerric for healing and buffs.

Actually i really look forward to trying the jobs and such. My one problem last 
time was arcase just got too draggy with constant grinding (god I got sick of 
that viking village raid), so having jobs and some of the other new stuff to do 
will be good, also judging by the power of some attack spells, combat with 
magic as opposed to stats looks pretty efficient, another reason I decided to 
try mage and the direct damage route.

definitely nice to play Alter again, it's been far too long, hopefully it won't 
take me another 300 odd hours to get back to level 26 :D.

All the best, 

Dark.
