Hmmm. If I do the math right, it looks like your 4 P.M. is my 11 P.M. and Prak's 9. The previous day. Tough but manageable. I think my name is @HamiltonOmega. I tried sending a message to @koerbl, but it said there was no such name.

Sir Neil: It's korbl without the e. I'm @sisteracacia

And Prak, turns out you can also send your pets on the Assault on Stormreach thing in Sword Coast Adventures, and they can get more magic token things that way than by doing the actual skirmish - though admittedly, you can't get the Swashbuckler that way. And the cool thing about it being a short-duration Call to Arms is you click "queue", then almost instantly it goes "We've found four others, here, go for it!" and then you just race on through it and only work together in the sense that you happen to all be clubbing the same enemies in the face. You get your own loot drops, don't need to form an official party or talk to them or anything.

But yeah, the game would still benefit from not being an MMO. The Foundry would have more options (because it wouldn't have to prevent "abuses" and would be allowed to let you upload your own images and stuff without worrying about lawsuits), there would not be lag, microtransactions would not be an actual thing... I can only dream.

PWE's character name/account name seriously fucks me up. I honestly have no clue what the fuck they use. I sign in as Koerbl, but apparently my characters are @Korbl. I'm so confused.

Yeah, I did a few runs on the CtA, looted a swashbuckler dye pack, and bought another with the CtA tokens. So I now have swashbuckler colour schemed robe and hood. It's not too bad.

...My Man at Arms and Damaran Shepherd aren't even rank 15 yet...

Ugh. Do people not queue for Dungeons? I'm trying to do Cragmire Crypts run for Rhix, and fucking nothing.

IIRC, there are certain timeslots where they encourage people to queue for this dungeon or that skirmish - if you go to the zone you can talk to the skirmishmaster there or whatever.

Of course, it could also be that everyone is too busy doing Call to Arms.

I might as well get in on the fun for a bit. Any class recommendations? I don't want to step on anyone's toes by playing the same class, plus it's possible we could maybe make a party

Well, doubling up often doesn't hurt - two rogues basically work together and flank the target to both always have combat advantage for bonuses, two clerics heal each other or double-drain enemies, two wizards make stunlocking even more hilarious, two fighters basically result in the enemy having to attack one hard-to-hurt target while the other one has free reign...

I've played around with Rogue and Wizard a little, and they're both fairly fun, however they're more fragile than the others, and aiming yourself around the place can be tricky with a Rogue (for melee attacks). I *think* the Rogue is meant to be anti-boss, but honestly they're pretty decent all-round. The Wizard can do stun-locks (bosses/reasonably tough foes amongst groups) and big AoE things (groups) and both (anything ever).

There's also Hunter Ranger. I've only played around with Trickster Rogue and Control Wizard. Both are a good bit of fun. You can read up on the classes at neverwinter.gamepedia.com. I would definitely like to start a guild, and for that we'd need five, so if anyone else is interested, we're one away (though characters need to be level 15, I think).

My TR needs leveling, so if people want to party up, I could run around killing orcs and such for a while.

As the highest-level member, I vote that such a guild be called the Koumei Appreciation Society.

No?

How about the Sigil Prep Student Council then?

Loviatar's Angels?

GF 22ish. Can't afford a horse, and I was doing that stupid quest for your first artifact. Holy crap those monsters were hard. I was dying in only a few rounds until I found someone to come help. If that was supposed to be a group mission, why wasn't it marked?
Koumei wrote:I'm @sisteracacia
... are you completely sure about that?

All four of those are good names, but I'm leaning toward Sigil Prep Student Council. Next would be LoP Appreciation Society. Loviatar's Angels sounds like an all girl group, which would be swell but I'm playing a guy right now.

Koumei's account name has some extra a's in the middle, it's @acaaaacia or something.

Yeah, the artifact quest monsters were fucking ridiculous. I was able to solo with a companion, but it was still monstrously difficult.

Being a greatsword fighter isn't such a bad deal. I'm not the tankiest guy in the world, but I can go for a while.

And I basically charge at enemies and do my impersonation of a blender, considering I've got three different attacks which involve spinning. Or I wind up the spin and wait for the enemies to come to me.

Just hit level 9

So what's your Shift-based dash/teleport/whatever trick? Also, if you like blending, you'll fucking love some of the later areas. Even in Epic, the Thayan campaign involves swarms of imps. You can slide in, and they notice you exist (some enemies are just plain thick) just as you unleash an AoE. You can kill them all before they act and they fall over all as one.

Incidentally, I've got level 4-6 gear for most classes if anyone would like a leg up. The random loot drops are not being nice to me. Trickster Rogue weapons, wizard weapons, cleric armor, archer gear, and guardian fighter plate mail.

Edit: What IS everyone, anyway?

I know Koumei has a cleric but apart from that...

The character I've focused on leveling is a level 26 tiefling Control Wizard. I also have a level 15-ish tiefling Trickster Rogue which I haven't paid much attention to lately.

Great Weapon Fighter
Defender Fighter
Trickster Rogue
Hunter Ranger
Control Wizard
Devoted Cleric

There will be others over time - at least one, as there is an actual "To be announced" spot in the class-selection screen. And they each have at least one Paragon Path. Most have two. Possibly all will eventually have two.
