Is it sort of like demons vs. devils (Demons in this case) in D&D? Some are structured evil entities with a strict hierarchy that want organized conquest, the others just want to see the world burn?

Yeah, those help files are what I felt lacked the overarching context and just left me more confused. Yeah Avasyu had his head chewed off, but WHY?
Thanks for the rundown, that sort of broad-strokes story is what I wanted. -
Perhaps this is a horrible idea, because I am not familiar with relics, their pros and cons, etc., but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway.If relics in rooms are too powerful to the point where nobody will ever fight in a r…I agree with that last part in particular. I can't buy credits but I have Elite. The Surcoat is awesome but 750 credits would take forever to save up to (8 months, I think?).

Out of sheer curiosity, what circle gave you that impression? I played AM last year, and there was a big crowd that seemed interested in joining/learning.

The way I see it, everybody wants to play the same game: come up with an offence, use it on people, win. Do this in solo fights or in team fights around objectives. The "…@Iniar for (2), why?

But I totally agree on bad guys thinking they're the good guys. They're usually more fun …My favorite kind of evil is where you can't just sit back and go "Oh yeah, this is totally the bad guy," where motivations and moral ambiguity create a lot of gray area. Like the kind of "evil" in Stannis Baratheon or Tywin Lannister.(Quote) What do you mean? I haven't seen any deathsight messages yet, but can you give me one of the more colorful examples?They've been mentioned here, but I figured I'd give these shows a +1: Suits, Scandal, American Horror Story. I've liked what I've seen of those three so far."They'll get more from social interaction with guilds through bashing trips, global bosses, advancement systems, and the overall PVE environment than they will in PVP."
I agree, but I think it would be cool if we could also add PvP into …(Quote) Thank you! I was hoping somebody from that demographic trolled around in the forums with the rest of us.

Not everybody wants to participate in pvp (which makes me sad) so if you remove the sense of advancement from bashing then there is little left for that demographic. Sure, …(Quote) I agree with this 100%. As a new player, I've seen a bit of a brick wall in this area. I'll elaborate:- Bashing is boring. We want RP and we want PK. The game is coded very heavily to favor both of these.
Kind of a related question (figured it doesn't need its own post, I spam these forums enough already). When you play multiple characters--are they related? Do they even know of each other? Do you ever play them simultaneously, for whatever reason?(Quote) Awesome! Has this been said by Jeremy somewhere that I missed?I think that's good advice for now. And I also think that the fact that I consider that good advice is a strong indicator that something is kinda wrong with the bashing system, hence the proposal.(Quote) I agree, I really don't want to play a text version of "Diablo 3 single-player." But when my only method of advancing is bashing anyway because my level is too low and anybody I try to PK at the moment would stomp me, bashing is a necessar…
killing somebody with wyrm's gorge for the first time. It was visceral and gross and reminded me why I love this game.
