Behold, The Monk of The Lag came to visit the remains of Phoenix, Arizona. What dangers should i expect? Who will be my ally? Who will be my enemy? Who will help me make a build of **MY** specifications? Only time will tell.
But, until then, I greet you! May The Lag be with you and The Forgotten Path shine at you!

Welcome to Ashes of Phoenix!
I hope you enjoy yourself here.
If you're wondering which one to choose, I can't help you wih that. Choose one that you feel you want to be in, that's what I did.
Hopefully you'll be at home here, and you will fit right in, be you a Brahmin Boy, a Family member or even factionless.

Best of luck!
Now, pass the spliff.

How are you finding the game so far?

LagMaster · « **Reply #11 on:** February 27, 2015, 05:48:33 AM »

Got in a frienly scuad and game looks promising
i heard there are free rerols whith no gear and i would like to make one
the only problem i find is that hoarding is more annoing than just taaking what you need
unfortunaly, got used to fonline2 cc speed bonus and i feel kinda slow. But i like the way you shoot. how ever i would like some build recomandations for my reroll

This is what i recommend for EW. take no traits ( not a big deal if you do ) ~reroll 6 1 6 8 10 1 8 is a great place to start for EW. you dont need perception because we use the leadership module for sight range. this is good for voodoo and squad power.

also consider ~reroll 6 1 6 5 10 6 6 for more AGI and less CHA/LUC. This would be good if you get FA to 200 I think. this is good for the minigun and psycho.

take toughness crit perception lifegiver

do not take BetterRateOfFire if you plan to use the minigun. it does not affect the minigun ap cost
in this case take faster reload instead
silent hill death is nice
adrenaline rush for more tank
faith healer if you tag FA
quick recovery if you don't tag FA

dont forget at lvl 24 you need 250 EW. 200 secondary (FA, throwing, sneak, traps in most cases). 150 tertiary.

If your CHA is 8 you can viably tag leadership to 200. We have enough leaders though I think so only do this if you want to.

almost always best to take doctor as tertiary because 150 doctor allows the use of instant defibrillator

You do know that perception below 5 gives a penalty on a weapon's effective range right? For max range consider PE 3 with sharpshooter.

Also, If you put your ammo in your 2nd hand when using Avenger you won't have to reload.

In a low AG build that depends on Crit Agility leader bonus you can take small frame for an additional Special point (just reroll with AG 0 if you take it). You won't really notice the extra knockdowns since they're rolled against your critical agility.

Can't we close vtec recruitment for a month or so!??

Probably do some backwards unique slowflake attempt to make factions balanced before conceding to locking factions.

Unfortunately EvE Online doesn't have anything related to this issue I can draw from.

I do think throwing new players into a faction selection isn't the greatest thing, especially since this choice being a prime factor towards your experience.

I think perhaps it is best for players to start off as factionless, allow for tents to be setup in the wasteland World Map. These tents will remain hidden until a outpost is built nearby in which then the tent becomes visible to that faction.

Of course experienced factions and gangs can still quickly join up but this is mainly geared towards new / smaller groups of players who cannot field a competitive on their own. I hypothesis this might create a slower and more fluid server progression; one in which faction expansion, aggression and politics will play a more intimate role to the big picture. As the faction balance changes the players themselves can decide which one to join.

As for anti-swarm mechanics, what I really am (poorly) gambling on is that we get economy right such that over populated factions cannot afford to arm everyone. I would really want to run an item wipe just to test the theory but with player base so small I doubt it will be an effective test.

Professor Lemur · « **Reply #18 on:** February 27, 2015, 05:52:23 PM »

Hmm. I'm a little concerned that doing an item wipe might end up putting those factions that have a surplus of equipment but a lack of players at a severe disadvantage.
Then the larger factions would have an easier start.

twat · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2015, 06:40:24 PM »

yea testing that on us would be pointless and mean. I think the idea is right on though and with 100 players online next season it will help to counter the swarm a bit.
