I agree with this. The quality of wartribe gear currently being dropped is way too high and it eliminates any reason for anybody to craft weapons or armor until they can craft something better. Unless I'm missing something, this seems to be a complete no brainer issue. What is the intent of wartribe gear? The only reason I have come up with is giving a new player the chance to obtain gear so they can play the game and possibly compete. In my opinion the random armor/weapon vendor is sufficient for a new player to easily upgrade their starting gear and be able to kill mobs. What about

I like this idea.

I was disappointed that there doesn't seem to be much hope surrounding guild banks - or something of the sort.

Heh, he might have just said it. Everyone exaggerates when talking about their job. If you ask me about my job I write tons of emails each day and answer hundreds of phone calls. If anyone were to actually look into it, I'm not sure how many pounds of emails I send but it's probably not even a ton let alone multiple tons

Fair point I did not consider this.

If you could build some hype around a full wipe in October, welcoming new players to come and check the game out without being helplessly behind most current players - I think that would be a good thing. Especially if they turn up the knob they talked about for passive points. Advertise it as a way to learn the game and have a plan in place for 5.11. As a new player, a full wipe looks appealing. I could see vets getting excited about it - but also I could easily see vets just taking a break for 4 months instead of completely starting over.

I have a templar in the campaign and I'm pretty sure it's quite useless at the fort battles. Does anyone have any suggestions for a useful character that I can bring and attempt to help out? I'm working with all war tribe gear and no upgraded vessel. Perhaps it's more important to get the better gear than try another character? What type of characters are helpful in battle for a newbie to play?

I am quite new to the game, and I have read a bunch of stuff on the passive skill tree - issues and complaints and have some thoughts. I am really enjoying this system versus the old fashioned video game method of - chop a tree for 3 hours, craft 1000 bows, gain 13.7 points in skill (UO). I can't be mad that a person that has been playing since the beginning has over time unlocked more points to spend than me. I'm gaining points now, I chose to start now. People seem to want to out grind everyone - chop at trees for 12 hours and become a GM Lumberjacker. I get it - the fruits of your labor are

I am proud to say I was in-game when you infiltrated The Hate Crew ages ago. We were all so confused... It was epic. One guy was really disgruntled, but the rest enjoyed it I think.

only thing I know about texas: if you are a musical group that has secured an engagement to perform, it is required that you include a violin in your accompaniment

Normally High Life Light or Michelob Golden Draft Light Once in a while I'll grab a 6 pack of Red Stripe

Wild meeting the Blackhawks 3 years in a row now, two years in a row in the 2nd round. The Wild are a better team than they were last year... Should be a great series. I hate you Hossa and your stupid dark visor!

so who's Kickit?

Thread resurrected in honor of the Minnesota Man-Bear-Pigs So sorry St. Louis... Blackhawks better dust off those golf clubs and book some tee times for mid-May
