I don't go for achievements. I personally find the leveling system a little dumb. Why are we expected to farm for these achievements to level up? It makes your crew upset because your time is spent of leveling instead of fixing or gunning or flying...

There isn't very much else to base the system on. And most of the achievements are harmless, and can be reached more or less normally (except for dumb ones like "Buff 100 balloons"). I always look at the map, ship, and gun loadout and see if I can work on achievements without harming my team. I will admit, though, that I take liberties from time to time (charged rounds flamer... yeah...).

I personally think that the biggest problem is the language barrier. 

I fully agree, especially with the recent mass of Russians arriving in the game. Hopefully the international boards on this forum will help these players get a better understanding of the game. At the very least we might be able to cut the yelling down a bit.

This has been discussed many times in the past, and it's generally agreed that while this system would be helpful for getting rid of some of the more... difficult players, there would be far too much room for abuse from trolls and the like. Muse just implemented an auto-kick feature for AFK players, though, so that's a big help.

What is the best loadout on a Galleon?

You'd want a mallet for repairs, a spanner for rebuilds, and chemical spray for extinguishing fires. Take the spyglass as a pilot item, and choose your gunner ammo according to the guns on the ship.

I agree with Mattilald on this one. It's absolutely impossible to hold a ship together against a Hwacha, never mind two. By the time you've fixed one component, they unleash another volley. And with the double rebuild time on guns, gunners themselves are useless at repairing. If they take a wrench, there's no way they'll have enough time to repair and do significant damage to the enemy ship before the Hwachas fire. And if they have a spanner, they'll be able to rebuild, but they'll be left with a gun with no rotation speed.

So what are your thoughts on this?

Q&A / Questions about the ENGINEER

« on: February 23, 2013, 08:46:11 am »

I liked the idea of the gunner questions thread, so I'm starting this one up.

Anyways, ask any questions you may have about the engineer class, and I or another helpful community member shall answer them

Three questions:

Are the plushies cheap?

Are the drinks cheap?

Can they be used as airship fuel (the drinks, not the plushies)?

I used to only do engi, but I learned that other roles in the process from shooting guns here and there and watching my captains. I've levelled up a decent bit in gunner, but I only reached pilot level 2 two days ago.

Though really, I'm not much of an achievement farmer myself.

Don't use Quick Join, ever.

And if you really want to use it for some reason, please do not go captain. Or gunner, for that matter. Your best bet is to go engineer. Even better would be to forget the Quick Join button's existence.

Couldn't let this one die out, not after how long it lasted on the old forum.

In case you're new around here, the concept is simple: read the last post in the thread, and post the first thing you think of.

Anyways, I'll start it off.

J'ai récemment créé un Wiki français pour GoIO. Au moment, il n'y a que la page d'accueil, mais j'espère que vous pourrez m'aider à l'améliorer dans le futur. Si vous y contribuez des infos sur le jeu, essayez d'utiliser le Wiki anglais comme modèle.

That's probably true, but I can't see the devs implementing such a feature anyways. It would just be extra work when they should be focusing on more important aspects of the game.
