When you were a noob...

[xpld]

I'm still a noob. I remember not knowing that maxed weapons stoped giving skill xp, many things weren't really explained starting out

as for a serious reply. Slightly off topic but I love when everyone is new in a MMO and PvP is less about the meta game and more unique builds.

Great tips so far thank you everyone! Keep 'em coming

What I learned was that this game is slightly addictive when you want to play it over other games cause of a pursuit your so close to completing. I wish I had learned about the farming spots on day two of the game. .

What do you mean by farming spots and where are they?

Tapping [E] to pick up things instead of holding it down... I kept equipping every piece of weaponry I picked up not knowing this. Was making me really mad until I realized to just hit E to pick it up.

Hehe, yes I kept doing that as well

NONE! I waltzed into Defiance with my pants off looking for a good time!


(In reality I wish i knew how awesome wolfhounds were off the start instead of using them months later)

I wish I knew not to throw some weapons away.
L Shift boosts your vehicle
Click E to pick up loot w/o switching to it. If you leave E pressed, you switch items to ur loadout.

Didn't know about co-op maps, let alone how to join them.
Didn't know about pursuits. At all.
Didn't know you had to equip ego powers for them to be active.
Didn't know that you shouldn't shoot skitterlings on red arkfalls.
Didn't know about weapon skills.
Didn't know how much I didn't know.
Didn't know about weapon mastery.
Didn't know about bmg as a healing tool.
Didn't know sweet shades were rare, and deleted my char coz I didn't now you could respec and thought I had ruined my char build.

Didn't know how to see if the mods installed on the weapon have matched synergy. Scrapped some matched mods thinking I've just installed some random mods while searching for matched ones.

I am sure it was very common, at least I hope it was. I wasted three weeks not knowing about, toting around my Purple SAW with Syphon effect. Then to top it off I was so upset when I figured out the problem, I sold the stupid thing. An even bigger mistake as I have yet to get one with Syphon effect again. It's bound to happen though sooner or later.

A lot of people don't know about skitterlings at arkfalls. Tbh I am still figuring most of those out after a week in the game. If only the interface were a little more intuitive.

Erm, so how do you do that then?

Aw bless, yup you're bound to get a new one any day. Just keep telling yourself that...

What do you wish you had known when you were new to the game? Pass on what you have learned and make things a little easier for us noobs to catch up.

That removing mods will destroy the mods you were after, and saves the weapon (did it twice). So if you are after the mods retrieving mods will get your mods back and destroys the weapon.

I spent all my ark salvage for keycodes and I was already at max keycodes. It let me keep buying them!
