If you have a partner on the ground, bumping AFK people with trade packs off of the airship seems like a potential gold mine. I did it yesterday solo but couldn't find the corpse and pack when I went back.
That is hilarious as fuck.

Idealy your friend should have a harpoon fishing boat as well:

We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I.

The smaller, hanging boat probably shot the bigger airship with a harpoon, which lifted it out of the water and is carrying it along?
If there's a way to climb up that harpoon line, rob everyone on the airship, climb back down, and then drop your boat back in the water I will declare this is the best game of all time.

Wait so you basically get to be Bane in the 3rd Nolan Batman movie? Jesus. Yeah, I'll suck up some labor points stupidity to try that out.

Or if the big ship can drop that small one into a volcano or non-copyrighted sarlacc pit of sorts

At low levels so far the best entertainment has been the trial chatlog.

I'm enjoying this game, but as feared, I'm beginning to see chat devolve more and more into the nightmarish hellscape that one expects to see in a PvP game. I suspect everyone but the total fuckwits will eventually be driven away, which is sad, cuz it's a fun game. I even like getting ganked, somehow.

At this point there shouldn't really be global chats anymore. At most, just give the players the ability to make their own channels and let them decide what to join.

Defiance launched without global chat, and that wasn't cool nor did feel right.

I was told I was a terrible person today. Got a tip that there were some plots in Gweonid available, so had my scarecrow ready to go. Came around a house into a clearing and saw 2 guys from the same guild standing together. I saw a spot for my farm, so I planted it. And lo, the wailing and gnashing of teeth began. I offered to demo it for 50g, but they couldn't afford it. Ya snooze, ya lose.

Don't often see folks post failures, good on them. The detail into the ships is amazing, watching the pulley creep-up the sail line in the foreground during one of the turns at the end I was thinking, "Fuck, 10 years ago we couldn't get half of this." My only real complaint is that due to HPs the cutter is able to act like a blocker, instead of blowing to flinders and sinking when the galleon hits it while severely damaging the galleon, if not sinking it as well. Game physics!

True about that. Supposedly next patch (already live in South Korea) will introduce ramming damage, but no one knows how it will impact battles like this yet.

Have they set a date for opening Auroria yet? I might throw down a thatched farmhouse or some such up there.

Been playing the shit out of this with friends. Questing is still the worst I have ever seen. But now that I am mostly done with quests, all I see are beautiful zones and I forget there are quest hubs in it. It really is the closest to the feeling you get with playing SWG early days. Be warned, in this game, everything takes a group working together, as it should be. You also need to find your own way around 30-40. Racial quest ends at 30.

I hit 50 last night, on purpose. I stopped for a bit and got my archeage finances in order around lvl 30 and have been farming and building and doing trade runs. Apparently the best in slot weapon for all classes is a Hasla weapon which requires about 150 specific tokens that have a chance in dropping from certain mobs in Hasla. This is a pretty dumb grind, but it does draw a lot of pvp into a certain area with both factions trying to farm the mobs while simultaneously being outfarmed by your own faction. The good news is that with the expansion coming, this hasla weapon grind will probably disappear before most people get a chance to see it, I'm not really sure. My next goal is to build a farm cart. You can make huge money just farm carting 3 tradepacks at a time in purely non pvp zones or saving them on your house till a pvp area goes peacefull. Much faster than a donkey.

I like getting the purses. Free larceny skill!
I'm starting to run into quests needing charcoal stabilizers. From what I read it's going to be a real pain in the ass.

I'll be hitting level 40 tonight. The 30-40 range is brutal, so I've been just crafting to level. Buy a vocation pot to double my labor experience and a way we go.
I can't wait to be max level so I can actually play the game.

45+ is hell. And level 50 and Hasla, if you are not in a big group, are simply quitting & uninstall material.

Crap, I'm 28. No more hopping from quest giver to quest giver?! Sorry, should have worded that a bit better. The racial quest, green "?", stops at around 30 ( Silent forest on the east ), there are indeed, more quests, and hubs in every zone. Just gather/farm/craft/etc your way to 50!
I Can safely say, i have gotten at least 12 of my 40+ levels just from crafting/harvesting. I skipped entire zones of quest hubs because of it ( though I did do my racial for the guilda ). Also, keep in mind, Trade pack turn ins grant you 3k level XP, each. using my farm cart, that's 9k xp for a single run, and I normally do round trips. It is very true, this game offers many ways to play, and level. Hell, we have some guild members we call "farm boys", because for the most part, they never leave our production areas. They have shit for gear, and high levels. I'm starting to run into quests needing charcoal stabilizers. From what I read it's going to be a real pain in the ass.
Its fun times doing across the sea trade packs ( No joke, I love it ), and your crafters will love you for the charcoal. Get a group.

It can really make the difference in any MMO. There's something about having people to play/chat with during more mundane periods that really makes these games more enjoyable. Why do you think I played DAoC for 6 years? It wasn't because of awesome mechanics.

That's the reason i run with the goons on almost every game i play now, at least there is almost always enough of them around to have a healthy guild.

Same. It would be more fun to have an F13 guild, but we are neither populous enough nor do we tend to play anything longer than a month or two. Are you in the Aranzeb/West goons? I am Bubbrubb there
