There has not been any case of intentional fighting, ever, on Tylui's server when I've been around. And I'm around a fair amount of the day. So you're covered there. Besides, only in X is PvP allowed, and PvP is not possible between party members anyway. You'd pretty much have to intentionally request PvP.

Me and Tylui are both west coast US. Noon for us is 8 PM GMT+0.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Not likely that we'll be online at the same time then, other than possibly on the weekends. That's a 9 hour time difference. It is possible that if I play in the morning sometime before work, you'll still be up.

Does anyone know what Matter blocks are used for? The Makeshift Armor is way worse than the Durasteel armor I already have, is there anything else?

Also, where do I need to go in the Delta sector to get some really good weapons- I need something good enough to handle the last boss and keep me alive in Sector X.

Good question. I've only found a couple of chests on all the delta worlds I've visited, and none of them had anything of use in them. It's very disappointing.

Same as any other sector: in the next sector. Or, craft them yourself, look for the bird airship.

Then get ~50 or so turrets and place them in alternating directions on a large, flat place. Summon the boss there. They won't do much damage, but they'll help distract it.

As it is the ones you craft yourself at the end of the current tier will always have better dps than what you can find. That's bound to change. That being said, you can find weapons that will better suit your playstyle, at the cost of overall DPS. For example I have a hammer with just 3500 dps, where the craftable impervium hammer is 4444. But, as it does 5k+ per swing, I like it better. it's much slower, but I like it much better.

I do fear personally that crafting could end up useless (and for some pieces of equipment... YEP they really are...) or overpowered.

It is rare I see a game actually get the balance right.

But I cannot base it off of the game as it is currently. Which is an odd "functional" state. (odd in that... it is probably the most functional alpha I've seen.)

Also I know no one will agree with me... But would anyone rather spears.. Aim rather then their current linear attack? I actually find the lack of an upward slash to work against me a lot more then the extra range aided me.

Good god man you are pessimistic.

I agree completely. In fact, I believe every weapon needs directional attacks.

I think aimed attacks are planned for spears!

Make sure it's equipped and not merely locked in. You can have 4 locked in techs, but you have to select only one on your inventory screen. Basically you can only use one at a time, but carry around 4.

That is an odd system.
