[t]https://my.mixtape.moe/wismfe.jpg[/t] [t]https://my.mixtape.moe/fayimz.jpg[/t] More RPGs need something similar to the pawn system.

connection failed error please reconnect when i try to retrieve the MAD DOSH AND QUEWST KNOWLEDGE my pawn got what do what happen did someone hack me

Servers seems a bit unstable at the moment I guess?

Damn postgame difficulty ramp is pretty damn steep, on hard mode at least. Time to invest some of that sweet RC to hire some good pawns to teach me the ropes What should I do first, everfall or BBI?

BBI is easier at the beginning than Everfall imo.

for those who've spent more time with assassin than me, how useful does easy kill really end up being as a skill? it's been useful against small mobs but i'm guessing it's not something you can use against larger monsters?

However it doesn't work against grabs and shit. As for how useful it is, ehh, it's okay. I have it simply because none of the other skills fit my play-style currently, it gets [I]some [/I]use.

It does a ton of damage (it scales with your damage so getting better daggers will make the skill much more effective), it can hit large enemies up to 4 times, you're invincible while doing the attack, and any physical hit (not ranged or grabs) can't hurt you while you stand ready. It was possible on the original version of the game for a solo Assassin to kill the offline Ur-Dragon in only a couple of Masterful Kills. [editline]20th January 2016[/editline] I don't know if you can still murder the Ur-Dragon with it now.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;49571574]BBI is easier at the beginning than Everfall imo.[/QUOTE] Not really. Everfall's Evil Eye is a lot easier than BBI's Gazer. Nearly everything in BBI is a dps check while Everfall is more of a challenge. Except for Ur-Dragon. Fuck this guy.

I'm not far into the game, but I'm pretty sure Rook has mental issues. I'm at one point and he keeps running head first into a bunch of bandits. Edit: bye rook you've been replaced

Fuck this guy.[/QUOTE] Switch to offline if you want to actually see yourself do damage to the Ur-Dragon. Otherwise you're fighting with everyone else playing the game to try and kill him.

[QUOTE=Senscith;49572474]Switch to offline if you want to actually see yourself do damage to the Ur-Dragon.

Also I don't even think they can pilot mechs, which is sorta where most of the game is. As far as I can tell, they're only useful when you can't be arsed to hunt down an NPC you want in your party, or a relevant party member for a certain boss is too underleveled and you need the nearest equivalent fast instead of grinding him up to par.

muh 'risen [t]http://i.imgur.com/985z694.jpg[/t] Does this breastplate make me look fat? Going for functionality over aesthetics right now, need to finish the main quests so I can get some of them post game rare armours At least my pawn isn't dressed like a harlot or a fucking monarch, love me some overknee boots tho

I used to make a nice female Arisen [t]http://i.imgur.com/qwgbKyW.jpg[/t] Now I just roll with Savan [t]http://i.imgur.com/ZLLPfGe.jpg[/t]

hi if anyone's going into BBI and needs a healer/utility pawn may i suggest blert [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/nv30264.jpg[/img_thumb] he's got holy and lightning enchants and knows which enemies are weak to each one, he passively heals people with his sweet jacket, and he's got high grapnel and knows how to use it add me so it's free to rent or whatever

Something is absolutely wrong with difficulty spikes at BBI. Cursed dragon almost gave me a mental issue so I skipped him. Few minutes later I faceroll Dark Bishop.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;49572158]the only things in the everfall that really come close to being as difficult as bbi is the 2 chimeras and wight room, the ur dragon, and maybe the 2 cockatrices cursed dragon is a fucking sponge and you can encounter it in 3~ areas in bbi, its fuckin ridiculous[/QUOTE] Yeah but cursed dragon is great for dat sweet sweet dragonforgefarming On xbox I think I killed like 50 of the fuckers to dragonforge god knows how much gear, so good.

Speaking of fashion - am I doomed to look like a fucking can or are there any options for good looking armor/clothes? Really don't want to be another Arisen the Tank.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;49573724]Something is absolutely wrong with difficulty spikes at BBI. Cursed dragon almost gave me a mental issue so I skipped him. Few minutes later I faceroll Dark Bishop.[/QUOTE] Dark Bishop's dragon is a lot weaker than Cursed Dragons, it has about 30% of their health.

no those big hounds in BBI are stupid as all hell with their nigh-instakill ram attacks. also v.bullshit one can appear when youre already fighting a boss i.e cockatrice, and you kill 3 hobgoblins around it and thats apparently enough for a massive warg to come fuck shit up

Online Ur-Dragon's in its grace period now. Loot pinata ahoy.
