My account screen name is also @Syobon btw. I'm lvl 12 now, hit me up if you want to do some missions around that level.

Thanks for the quick explanation, I read the stats inscriptions in game but they didn't make sense to me for some reason xD.
But now I've used the power of google, so I got it kind of figured out. You're damage is apparently directly related to your super stats. These are determined by your archetype. So increasing these always increases your damage, even if they are say, endurance and constitution for me a glacier. I hope I'm not spouting any nonsense right now, but google is usually my friend.

I'm D-vid, my Chara is called X-592CA3 since he's a robot and everything.

There's also telepathy, clobbering things with your fists, clawing things to death, using swords, using guns, using swords and guns, using claws, and using fucking magnets.
Yeah about that using claws to claw things dead. I made one of those but he uses some purple energy beam as ranged attack and purple energy balls around his hands for cqc. When am I allowed to claw people?

D-vid, I think for archetypes, the powers you get are almost completely set and you only have a few minor choices. If you press the lightning icon above your skills, you can see which powers you will get. I'm gonna add all of you to my friends list or whatever it's called now.

[Edit]: to add someone, you need both their character name and account screen name, so not your account name which you use to log in. For example, my account name, which I enter at the launcher to log in is Tonnac and My character and screenname are both Syobon. So to add me, you'd have type Syobon@Syobon in the add friend bar.

I'm posting this because some people only posted one of those and I can't add them yet. Of course, if you don't want me to add you, just say so :) .

Yeah I know that. That's why I chose that beast archetype or what it was called. So I thought I can go and rip things apart.

Nope. You only need the account handle, you type their handle (EG @Syobon) in the add friend field.

The only thing is that they have to be online to accept it.

Ah ok, I must have misspelled then, because I tried that and it didn't work.

Soooo. For some reason my character was not savage but instead grimoir and that's why he couldn't tear people to shreds. So I deleted him and recreated him. Now it says "Character creation failed" every time. I already tried using a different name but that didn't work either. Help?

Well, great. Looks like savage and specialist aren't available for free users. They could at least have written that somewhere on the screen.

Yeah, that is something I'm going to write Cryptic about. They were available to silver accounts in the free-to-play closed beta I was a part of, so there's no reason they shouldn't be now. If you want to beat something to death, use the Behemoth.

I made a soldier instead. This fella who calls himself Revolver Ocelot because I was too lazy to think of a new original design for now. He has cowboy boots.

Millenium city? I don't think there's really a server system. As long as you got our names you should be able to find us. On a related note, I've made a behemoth because I was getting bored puking ice on everybody. He's level 10 now and can throw cars. He also has the miraculous power to hit people really hard. And that's pretty much all he does.

That's what my savage chara would have looked like btw. I saved the design in case they make savage available for free users.

The game just crashed twice while I was trying to create a new chara. At least I saved it a few times while making it.
