How is class balance in this game? Anything overpowered or underpowered from the start?

My only knowledge is from youtube so it's probably not the best but looking at a million different tier lists there's one consistent thing across all of them and that is that Paladin / Bard are literally required for endgame content and Berserker / Gunslinger are put in S tier on nearly every list. Pretty much everything else jumps around peoples lists so I can't imagine that the class balancing can be that bad.

So US East is Una and US West is Mari for Era?
Looks like it.

I know a lot of people elsewhere are going Valtan West but 1) a lot of OCE and SEA players, and they might adjust event times to fit that playerbase better. 2) Biggest playerbase, so biggest queues. But auction house and stuff is still shared by region.

This is where I'm planning on going. I don't see any way they adjust event times given it's a US West server; wouldn't make sense to me. Also I'd be frustrated lol.

I see this "Legends of Lost Ark" race thing between EU / NA / LATAM - Anyone know where the North American streamers are playing? I'd like to avoid that server.

I know the OP says this can be played solo, but how well does it work out for those who play solo? Like having zero intent on grouping up to do raids or anything and just hopping on periodically playing through the story.

Posting for Discords because I still have no idea where I'm going.

I think US East was posted not too far back and I think EU is in here somewhere as well if you dig.

You'd probably have a good time up to a certain point. Eventually you can't gear progress although I don't know for certain.

You should make the invite only able to been if you've replied or quoted it! Otherwise you'll have a lot of random people you don't want in there!

I joined it, looking forward to learning the game a bit!

Looking through some of the class overview videos and think I'll probably try out Sorceress, but not sure how well it controls with a gamepad. I don't think I'd mind using M+K for inventory stuff, but hoping the gamepad works well for the combat/gameplay.

Getting caught up on the thread. Went from incredibly hyped at the accelerated progression to incredibly annoyed after finding out they fucked up and it's not happening for our region. What the fuck is going on?

Damn. Woken up to a total bait and switch with the progression in the patch notes haha. That sucks, and its pretty wild they managed to fuck up something like that so close to launch. Still, doesn't change anything for me in the grand scale of things since we are just going back to how we expected the game to play anyway pre-patch notes. I was hyped as fuck then and I still am now, lets gooooooo!!! 10 hours left!!!

That seems reasonable to demand their own server. Changing an already set server would cause a lot of issues I'd think.

** especially post launch
It's literally the official messaging that the times of the servers can be adjusted based on player peak times post-launch.

Please note that after the game is launched, server reset times may be adjusted slightly to best fit player and server needs.

Again, this is why I'm avoiding Valtan.

Looks like Zinnervale will be the EU server to avoid, i will probably stick to Asta where the German community plans to go.

Beautiful OT! Cheers

Pre-loaded and ready. Can't believe that I will actually play it today since I've been following this game for ages!

Can't wait to play this. Planning on making a bard. Played DPS in WoW, tank in SWTOR, now it's time to try a support class for a change.
