LOL.. I'm running around as Strappy Shoo.  I couldn't have Strappy Shoe as a name..   It comes from the Movie Vanilla Sky.

Smuckers is my characters name, female dwarf, SO ugly LOL! :P

no offence but that movie is worse then 9/11 :/

And I have to say.. I'm not that impressed. 

the world is huge, with few spawns.  It makes it feel empty. I do like the look of everything though, I think the scenary is nice.  The combat is Meh.. It's not the variety that's lacking, it's the purpose.  In AC you kill to get loot (at a certain level) and in DF is feels much the same.  

I didn't PvP as there really wasn't much purpose yet, no point to control a spawn.. no town control.. no loot control..

I'll keep playing it for the rest of the month and let you know how it goes. 

 

Cool.

 

(The world has many, many spawns. You do need to hunt them, but you will most likely find a few spanws within a couple minute radius from anywhere you are. Some spawns only spawn if you hang out, a bit. My best advise is to look for ruins and such and just hang out a bit.)

 

Lol just hang out a bit? Sorry it's been posted many times even by fanboys that there are not spawns few minutes from any area you are in. This is one area you cannot lie to us about.

Then they were mistaken. Sorry to burst your bubble.

When I'm in Moonclaw and I exit the town I walk east for about 5 seconds and see a  Ghost Spider Camp. I must be delusional

You've been playing for what... a few days?

When you get good, you'll realize it's not ping making the difference 90% of the time.

 

Now, granted, when you fight someone who is on exactly the same level as you... yes, they will win if they have an EU ping.

 

That's the thing.. my ping is 250+ generally.  that extra hundred ping makes a huge d ifference.

 

Loot control is the ability to control a specific thing or resource to keep your opponent from getting it.  For example a single spawn of something.. or something that drops an abundance of a resource, while it's sparce everywhere else.

Jesus.  

Honestly, just wait for the NA servers.

And I rolled a Alfar.. which is something I may change.  I'm not a fan of the starting area as one of the goblin camps is sort of .. in a huge ravine.  The troll spawn is nice though, I have to say I haven't been able to find it 3 times..

Ah that makes sense.  I have 2 guys in my guild who are cousins that live in Las Vegas, NV....they have a ping give or take around 200-220 they tell me.   It doesn't make the game unplayable as they do quite well, but it makes it a little harder.  Luckily, I don't think the NA server is as far off as most people think.

Ha.. that's funny.. I think one of my guildies may know how to get around the crap ping as he's close by and he's been playing for a while. 

It's funny.. in AC, I'd play with 400-600 ping.. and it wasn't so bad (everyone was on dial up then).. and now..
