How did even get to this discussion? How is it relevant? A gentleman whose name I won't mention decided to switch topic to something that makes no sense again?

It's related to the argument that green hp should be visible cause poor greens can't type a 4 letter word if they're in trouble.

This is not a mistake. People who bought A2 access before the current key bundles have access from 25th. Anyone with the key from the current bundle gets access on the 8th

To clarify, each of the 3 packs currently available in the shop grant access starting on a different date.
The Wave 1 bundle grants access on 8. Nov. 2024.
The Wave 2 bundle on 20. Dec. 2024.
The Wave 3 bundle on 1. May 2025.

Alpha 2 Phase 1 starts on October 25, 2024, for anyone who purchased the Voyager pre-order pack (or higher), the founder kickstarter pack (or higher) and everyone who won an Alpha 2 key.

If Summoner and Rogue don't make it into the game, I'm not even going to bother playing. I might as well switch to something else with generic classes like every other game.

Seems that would be true of just about any feature that's in the design but doesn't make it into the game.

I had a guildie that had their account hacked. Somehow they gained access. Of course when these things happen it's a huge problem.
It was a 250$ account, not a free one, mind you. They had to buy another key to get access to alpha 2.
They contacted IS support and the last email they received said:
"you're responsible for the security of your account. We consider the matter closed."

This is not MY problem. But if someone had a problem like this, and they received this kind of reply, how can I trust that it won't happen to me in the future? Accounts GET hacked all the time, it's inevitable.
Does this means that if it happens to me when the game is live I am going to lose my progress because "you're responsible for the security of your account"?????

Would you feel happy if you received this kind of reply from a company to which you paid and invested time in?
Would you feel safe with this kind of customer support?

This is pretty much the reply you are gonna get from any company when they steal your account so please keep it safe.

No it is not, my Gf many years ago had her LoTRo account hacked, soon as we reported it, they froze the account, then did checks, IE bank account used home address listed, few other things, with a few hours she had her account back.

In fact I know of no other company that will do this, so your answer is complete BS

Re: Guildie account hacked, IS says it's your job to keep it safe

If this is all true it’s an incredible poor response from IS, yes, I agree, they may get many of these types of tickets from morons trying to scam them, but it’s such a easy fix, account, blocked until ownership is proven.

People blaming those who get hacked are just as stupid, hackers these days are very sophisticated, that’s why decent systems need to be in place to recover accounts, just saying it’s not our fault, is simply not good enough, and maybe gives a glimpse of who IS really are as a business.

I don’t really care if the OP is being honest or not, but I do care that IS don’t care.

Steven said in the last stream that Hunters would have no interaction with World Bosses, but previously it was said Gathering classes would be needed to get the best material from bosses. Is this no longer the case, with crafting professions divorced from the raiding scene entirely?

I believe they meant that the Boss will drop materials to be used in crafting by all professions, but not be skinnable/processed.

Greetings Team,

Ashenforge from Clan FÖRGE! Just want to say great work getting the game this far! My question is more related to the Alpha 2 testing side of the game.

Will there be a in game built reporting system?

Recently Forge has had the pleasure of testing Pax Dei's Early Release. They have a built-in reporting system in-game and screenshot option to help with describing the events leading up to the bug report. It is a very easy to approach system that is user friendly to make even the newest MMO tester a master at identifying bugs.

FOR THE FORGE!

Re: What about Zerg mechanics?

So, PUG 60 vs Guild 30 negates a lot of the PUG 60 advantages, a lot of oversized zergs are just that, oversized PUGs thrown together on the fly and then tend to fall apart, I suspect we will see a lot of that action, which will be fun all on it's own.
