Maybe they added too many items at once.

Hm? But I thought people have already been banned? That's what I've been told, not like I can find a reddit where people whine about bans for this game. Also, IP blocks are super easy to bypass! Do you understand what VPNs are so amazingly good at? Bypassing terms that you've agreed to by signing up for an account on SoulWorker! Wow, never saw that one coming.
No direct bans happened as far as I know, LATAM and SEA are still playing from steam without using a single VPN, btw.
In any case, I don't see the point in arguing about the importance or how serious publishers even apply their ToS or not, but if anyone really believes that they are going to be banned just because of VPN they are just being too naive. Just do it quietly and enjoy the game, there is no extra lag because of it and there are still active communities from ipblocked places anyway.
They have full rights to ban you if they find proof you have used a VPN, also that's quite alarming that SEA and LATAM players can play without a VPN. I hope they can teach me their underhanded tricks.
Happy Women's Day.
And sure they can, but would they? It's not like turning down paying customers, is in their interest. Officially they did all they could to enforce IP block, beyond that it's just win - win situation for both GameForge and Lion Gate, since they are getting extra income from places they didn't reach yet.

I think it should be interesting to see how GameForge plans to deal with people buying from other regions, if at all.
Exactly, if you are from Germany and use VPN from Portugal, you will get 20% more SoulCash for the same money. And 20% that's a really big amount.
True.
But you risk to get your account banned.VPN is kind of a grey area in MMO games.

Display MoreHey everyone,
the prices shown to you depend on various factors such as country/game/price point/individual basis/payment partner etc. and this is why those may differ.
Cheers,
threea
If you sell goods in different countries, the price will depend on local taxes and import duty. However Virtual goods have neither taxes or import duties applied to them. So shouldn't countries with the same currency ( like Euro ) have the exact same price?
Pretty sure its mainly based off of regional spending trends on digital items. If they assume the NA region will spend more, they'll charge more. Obviously if that assumption is wrong, they will adjust prices accordingly.
No I highly doubt it. Mainly because a friend of mine who resides in Greece (we all know the economy over there) has the same prices as me while people from Portugal and Estonia have better deals.
I don't mean region as in country, but the encompassing server region as a whole. Could be different instances of the cash shop based on country IP-- if your friends from those countries all play on the server, but have different rates-- but that seems like a waste to me.
This is my first Gameforge game, but my guess is that they pull data sets from similar regions in other games they publish to help them determine the baseline prices they used.
Makes you wonder if people will use VPN to get the best deals.

I am relieved. Now no one can take my character name.

Display MoreI accidentally able to create this certain error today. The error is related to the screenshot function. For some reason, my skills (1,2,3,4,5,6) does not work. Every time I press the button, I realize it suddenly takes a screenshot instead.
So this is what happens:
- if you press the screenshot button, the game freezes a bit and save the current
- If you hold it, the game freezes until you release it, while it continuously saving pictures
- At the last gate of the boss, while most of your team (over half ) is standing at the gate, the countdown to transition begins ( with you being not at the gate). Hold the screenshot taking button and the game freezes past the countdown, leaving you behind.
- You can't enter the next room in the normal gate anymore. However, pressing reset position brings you to the room your team is in.
Pics included
Might be. If he was trapped in the previes room, and couldn't leave the dungeon at the end, Reset position would have send him to the boss room, right at the time i saw him appear.

Display Morewell 200 energy for me and i still level 25
14 to 16 manic instance run
i take 5min per run = 16* 5 = 1 hour and 20min
is it me or the 200 energy only a bit retarded ~~ ?
is there something i am missing ? else than the steel grave ?
((without including the cash shop items))
5 player = 5 mats = 150 more energy.
1x Energy drink = 100 more energy.
Have fun.

They blocked Brazil to, without any announcement just ridiculous.
A game blocking BRS might be the best thing I could ever hear imo, now just block china and we'll be set
They didn't block Russia, it's very strange, to block some and not all or to block at all.

It's a beta and you're saying it will be a end for you if they wipe it?
Do you know what the meaning of a beta even is?
Every beta always has a wipe, Always. You should know that.
I'd want a wipe, and that would be great if we had no energy to stop us from leveling up.wrong - open beta in f2p titles barely get wiped.
They already confirmed they WON'T wipe unles its NECESSARY.
Necessary means that changing files would alter the characterbase aswell
They are unsure wether they will delete whole characters, gear or just names. (Community manager quote) They prefer to have none at all.
Some minor bugg that gave a player 3-5 more lvls are not considdered gamebreaking or unfair as its early game.
They will announce sth within next week for sure. Yet I doubt there will be a wipe
Black Desert Online had 2x CBT - which both had wipes, and Launched week later. It never had OBT here.
Same with Archeage, it had CBT and OBT, and had a wipe prior to launch.

Does really everyone need their own thread about this topic? There must be like 10 threads about the same topic by now. Why not just wait until the publisher officially replies and states the facts? Since the weekend isn't necessarily part of normal working hours in Germany it might well be that a reply may take until Monday. I'm fairly certain we all can wait until then. I understand your concerns completely and I sympathize, but the nth thread about the topic won't speed anything up, I'm afraid
It is an important question for many players. An it is a very strange policy to have IP Block in EU and NA, while in Japan there is no IP block for any country.
P.S: This is also can be seen as a test to forum moderators to see how fast they will merge this topics together

How much is the bonus? Isn't it only around 10% total for S+/highest ranking in the mission?
Stupid Fatigue/Energy system makes me not want to kill bosses, ever.
You will finish dungeon faster in the group and with less risk to your self.

Endgame is not here yet, this game is mostly gearing up. Levels mean little to nothing.
The story will be over. The next one will come with the level expansion.
The free items are relatively low impact. If they were giving out enhancement protections, or something to that effect, it would be different.
I would argue that the Energy is the most important resource in the game, and they are giving out more then 1 day worth of Energy for free each day.
-
if they make wipe they will lose a lot of players.
They need players that will stay for a long time and pay, not free loaders that will jump the next game they see. So it's not a lose.
-
Im sure try to get party or team even in normal, hard, or Manic.
The buff is really good, if you want grinding level fast, and yet finding party member or team is really hard.
I can press F if they want to watch or know the Story.Normal you do solo, cause if you want to follow the story, you can't rush through the dungeons.

Considering no catastrophic failures have occured "outside networking" A wipe would be the death of this game for me and my circle of 20 friends. I'm sure many others could follow suit. Everything seems to be going strong from our perspectives.
If you and your friends will reach end game now in Open Beta, than how will Gameforge make any money out of you? You basically cleared the game. They even provided you with free Res stones, Free mats, EP potions.

The sooner the better. Got to start making money, before population declines.

I can not remember a MMO i played recently where i could actually die at lower level ( or die at all ). This is so nice and refreshing.
Energy system is fine, because it lowers the gap between casual and hard core players.
3 Res stones pr day is fine too. Makes the fights more challenging.

Well, it's Friday now. No Announcements, so No Wipe.
