I've been trying to finish the patch for New Legacy for the last half hour on EC it just keeps getting an error and never finishes.

There is an issue with EC patching. Kyronix is on it.

 

[ShriNayne]

I wish Kyronix would get on it faster!

 

[R Traveler]

Got a quest to visit bard.
Found him and he asked "house name"
I clicked something like dice and he wont talk to me anymore. Quest not completed.

Am I bugged now or what to do next?

I can't stay logged in for more than 30 seconds. The only way I can stay logged in for even a minute is for my husband to log out. We are not even playing on the same master account, we have totally separate game accounts. Is this their fix for multi-boxing? Stopping people logging in on the same IP? I really hope not...

If you are both on EJ you cannot be logged in at the same time. I think you can get it to work with a VPN though.

Ya only 1 EJ account can log in at one time on your ISP. They put that in a few months ago.

I haven't been able to play yet... been watching bunch of people play on share screens through Discord... looks really awesome so far. I love the feel of the quest system. Might be easier said than done simply watching someone else play, but excited for the feel of a "new game". Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

 

[ShriNayne]

I am actually speechless, in over 20 years of beta testing games this is the first time I would have to pay a subscription fee to help with beta testing. I can understand to some extent if this was a production shard but it's a beta test...

I have not left Occlo yet, I goof off too much, but this part of the quest system is basically a guided help system. Posters have asked for help for new players for a while. You have to go to every named house.

I have had 3 crash to desktop. Everything is working now, you just have to know to click the grey Visit or Slay button (they turn blue like the bottom one) to make sure you are recognized when you arrive. Then collect to get the reward.

If you stand still a while you get a system msg on where to go if you do push the visit button.

 

[ShriNayne]

I see Pawain on his horse...

 

[Pawain]

Probably afk lol.


Here I am with my studded armor set from the warrior guild for killing rats. New Studded Helm.





I chose the Michael Jackson hair for portrait. The new hair styles are in here.

 

[Merlin]

I like the New Studded Helm graphic.

Please keep sharing new info.

 

[R Traveler]

Which item properties exists and which can be crafted?

 

[Pawain]

When you finish the Occlo quests as a warrior you look like this: Probably 30 min or less if you dont goof off.

 

[Thrakkar]

What do you mean? You don't have to sub to play NL.
I was playing EJ and worked perfectly fine for me...

 

[Pawain]

Which item properties exists and which can be crafted?

OId crap items.

 

[Thrakkar]

Yeah, if you're a warrior, you'll get a set of ringmail armor next in trinsic.
On one hand quests are nice, because you get all the rewards you need. On the other hand it is gameplay on rails.
My biggest issue so far is, that there is zero challenge so far. You're literally facerolling everything...

 

[R Traveler]

Interesting. Tailor as profession grants 30 tailoring and 50 swordsman as skills

 

[R Traveler]

Doing tailor quests for make N items do not automark items as quest items. Locating them in backpack is not easiest thing if it sandals in CC

 

[Pawain]

Like this

I can't do the beta weekend with my husband, I'm pretty disappointed about this.

Put one of the PCs on VPN?

 

[Lord Frodo]

How do become a Blacksmith? I do not want to be a Warrior

 

[Pawain]

You get maps of the cities when you do some quests.

 

[Pawain]

I think

How do become a Blacksmith? I do not want to be a Warrior

You have to start on a new Toon for that.

You are way further than I am. I think I am the only one trying to change to macing. Cant find a Fecbarg to kill.

I am on my 2nd time to the Warrior Guild and alls he talks about are rats and I have the scroll from the Mayor in my backpack

 

[R Traveler]

Well, how to make money fast? 1 hour running on foot to grab some wool, crafting shirts and trying to point them to mark as quest item makes my arms feel pain.
There are some resources for sale, but money is limited.

 

[ShriNayne]

Me and 3 other people have been in the crypt for 10 minutes and no zombies are spawning, are we in the wrong place?

 

[ShriNayne]

I have no clue what that is but it's okay my husband is playing Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord so I'll leave him to it!

what you have to use to watch salacious movies if you are in Texas.

 

[Lord Ron Fellows]

Triggering (going to a specific area and not standing in the correct title to progress the quest) and finding quest locations (brigand camps, wagons) on CC is painfully buggy. Someone was telling me that EX has an arrow that points you in the right direction, that’s gonna be necessary for CC imo.

 

[Lore]

I had fun. Reached the dailies. I'm not about to do those on a Beta. I see a lot of spots they may monetize if their dream comes true and New Legacy pops off.

Almost lost a ton of stuff dying in Deceit trying to do them. Going the mage route and dying in Deceit is rough without insurance and a LRC suit. Those little crystal orbs you can put in your left hand aren't blessed.

 

[Mr Bug]

Sounds like someone played Wizardry by Sir-Tech Software back in the 80's. Blade Cusinart FTW/

 

[R Traveler]

30gp for completing tailor SBOD? Its a joke

 

[Spartan]

When SE and AOS were gonna come out there was an open beta - especially a server stress test in AOS (all the added stuff?). Do you use TC at all when they have changes coming? TC is open beta - and has a subscription fee.

 

[Thrakkar]

Ok, I also reached the dailies.
Are those always the same 4?

I did the "confront the monstrous beasts that lurk in the shadows", for which you have to "slay" 8 hinds. LOL. Who comes up with those quest texts...
Rode from Trinsic to the Delucia Passage, killed the hinds, got 4 skillpoints to spend, rode back to trinsic, bought skill at the trainer and wanted to get another quest. And what do you know, its the same 4 quests again like before. Given, we have to raise 5 skills from 60 to 70, we have to do this 12 more times. Which is basically ok, but given, that combat just consists of oneshotting the mobs and the bulk of the time is just spend for riding from and to the quest location, it is very boring...
I'm sitting on 180 bandages, whcih I got from quest rewards and haven't felt the urge to use a single one.
Seriously, can we have some challenge please? This really needs some tuning...

No they change every hour or 2.

When the Giant Toads are attacking the crates in the swamp 10 of those attacking you is a challenge.

Open your quest journal and click on 'visit', that's how you get directions to find the location. In both clients.

 

[ShriNayne]

I got Pinco's installed but now if I use it the New Legacy server is just not on the list, that totally sucks...

 

[R Traveler]

There is Animal Taming trainer at Moonglow Zoo, but he do not allow EJ account to learn advanced skills.

EJ is limited to mage/warrior/crafter only

 

[Stinky Pete]

No stealing... I'm out.

Does a message say that? Other skills open up once you have higher skill levels in the base skills.

None of us NOOBs advanced far enough to get to advanced skills.

But the EJ haters will love if EJ can not.

 

[R Traveler]

Here is it. Just in case someone with paid account interested on trainer location

I thought you had to go to Delucia for taming. A warrior loses Healing if they turn tamer. So, Ill make a mage if I want to get taming.

Thanks.

 

[Rieley]

Can anyone explain the resource pack? I used the reagent purifier and it placed all my reag in the resource pack. Now when I cast spells it doesn't acknowledge those regs. Do we need regs in our backpack and the resource pack? I may be missing something. Thx
