Hey, EME, ignore these two (CandleJack and Nex660). They are just a little, how shall we put this nicely, "irritated", that they now have to do a little more work and can't just easy-farm crystals over and over and over and over again easily through repeatable quests or quests while leveling.



Awesome for the earlier head start, understandable for the maintenance. Actually, the maintenance gives me a reason to not start slamming the doors of Gamestop asking for a midnight release! XD


Yes EME, only listen to people who praise the ground you walk on. Because that worked SO well for SWTOR.


Thing is, SWTOR was a failure from the start.

Anyways, Alchemy is rediculously easy, and you make 2 of everything with the potential of getting bonus items and extras out of it. Much better than eggs.

Can a EME rep clearly state that this means what I think it means?

What I think it means:
Headstart from 28th 8am until 30th "midnight". Game servers go down (sleep time) for maintenance/launch. Game launches around 7 hours later (May1st 7am).

Yes?


No. If you read it closely, it says 12:00 am - 7:00 am on April 30th, Monday. That means the servers will be going down Monday morning at midnight, back up at 7 am, all the way until 11:59 pm Monday night where, at 12:00 am May 1st, game's live!

8:00am... and here I thought it was a midnight head start. Time to set the alarm clocks.

Meaning I'll get to play at 17:00 GMT+1 / UTC+1, (PST+9 or GMT-8 / UTC-8). Nicely done, I'll be back from work at the time, plus, Tuesday is a holiday in Europe ^^.

Now, I wonder how many Europeans will be at the gates of server opening Vs the number of North Americans, considering it's 17:00 Vs 8:00 xP.

Really EME, I wonder why you just didn't licence the game in EU, I know regulations are different among many other things, such as target audience, but you're getting many EU players here, I don't know the number nor does anyone besides you guys, but please reconsider your decision after some months, or even a year, I'd be glad to have you over at EU too, you aren't perfect, but you ARE FAR better than Frogster with all its "experience" in the field.

Went out of topic there.

Let's hail the advanced early access!!!

Wait so just to make sure, the maintenance is in the middle of Head Start? Rather than after Head Start before Launch?

let's see, 8am pst head start time... okay, that is 10am cst... I get home from work at 6am cst... so either way, when I wake up I'll be able to play. WooHoo! which means if I sleep from 7am till like noon then I only miss 2 hours of BONUS time, still get to run with my guild mates... and have more time to play considering I have to be back at work at 9:30pm cst so this rocks! EME rocks! looking forward to getting to sleep tomorrow morning so I can get my guild administrations done and enjoy a few hours of BAM hunting.

edit: someone somewhere, will find something to complain about, no matter what.

Actually, I depended on eggs for other things. Crystals were the last things on my mind because I spent my time killing a bunch of BAMs for runes and crystals were just a byproduct of that. But other than gaining crystals, it'll drive the prices up on them; like there isn't enough stuff in the Brokerage already overpriced to hell. Further more its not solely about them just removing it, its also the lame add-on message they throw in there to down play the their constant removal of optional content.

Don't assume I farm crystals from eggs or that I'm complaining about farming crystals from BAMs. It's that kind of thinking that'll keep you from seeing the big picture I'm trying to paint here.

Except that, I don't see how it's a big deal. Of course everything is expensive through the Broker, it's the beginning of the game. People don't want to see the stuff they got for cheap to make the life of someone else easier, they want them to pay for their easier mats! The beginning of a game or at the start of an expansion is when the market is always in flux. Either things that should be costly are dirt cheap, or things that should be dirt cheap are costly.

All this will do is make the market different than it is/was in kTERA. It is not a big deal and certainly not as bad as most people are making it.



Besides, didn't they state at some point that it was supposed to be part of an event and not an everyday thing? Or is it something else I'm thinking of?...
