Race & Clan Politics Discussion

So it looks like everyone can at least agree that sticking to Mirdain/Human/Dwarf is the smartest choice for now. We can revisit the issue after we've been in game a bit and know the pros and cons, but for now please limit your race choice to one of those three. Most of us are starting Mirdain, so if you start Human or Dwarf, know that you might have to travel quite a ways before you can group up with the rest of us!

Duly noted.  

A human or dwarf wont' have trouble with any of the mirdain cities, will they?

[Tbone]

No. Due to their alliance, they should not.

I'm not wishing to be a sheep and follow the herd, but it does make sense if the greater majority of us were close if the not the same race. Excellent plan.

Now given the danger of walking about the game alone as a lowbie, closer to release should we plan on who is who and stage meet ups? As in all the FA dwarves come together and leave their starting point in a group to join the others? Just seems safer and quicker if it was all orchestrated. And it might be a good first impression for other players, to see FA so organized right out of the gates.

[Tbone]

Yes, you are correct Lits. Currently you can join a usergroup tied to your race. You can also claim your specialty in a thread we have going. Once everyone has signed up on these, I will merge them so we will know who should meet up with whom to get started. Then hopefully it will not take long before the whole lot of us can group up together.

....Currently you can join a usergroup tied to your race..... .

How do we do this?

[Lithium]

Click Usergroups up top and then select one of the three groups, click join, wait for Tbone's approval.

Per some of the latest leaks, I might have to go Dwarf for crafting bonus:


Wisdom: Grants a bonus to all crafting and harvesting skills. Also moderately affects max mana and grants a slight resist bonus against curses.

Dwarf Starting Stats (Start with most Wis):

Str 20 / Vit 25 / Dex 15 / Quick 17 / Int 15 / Wisdom 25

Yeah, I've been leaning toward Dwarf for the crafting bonuses, and because I think it'd be nice to have that extra toughness while out harvesting.  

In fact, I just joined the Dwarf usergroup!  Yay, one bit of indecision defeated!

And that's why you're the boss

weirdo crafters.  

You know ever since SWG I swore of crafting.  At launch SWG crafting was such a grind fest it's not even funny.  Maybe I got a bad taste in my mouth about it but I think it's boring.

I feel like, if I'm one of the few dwarves in the guild, I *have* to be able to make something.  Doing otherwise would be like having a woman in the house who can't fix you pie.

If, however, crafting is utterly boring, I may not specialize in it but relegate myself to being able to cobble only basic supplies or components when needed.  If it's challenging, though, I'd love to become the "go-to" guy for some type of item!
