I cannot afk grind, or very rarely succeed defeating the monster presents.

The problem is my warrior stopping to kill 1 enemy thats nearest to him, in result completing avoiding easy x3-4 kills per swing if he moved slightly further to a group of them.

Before anyone says Getgud, i'm at end game with Act2 boss defeated +25times. I didn't start playing yesterday.

Even with manually tapping I can barely reach the timer consistenly on tier4.

The turkey event was fun and easily done, this one is unfun.

Hate to say it but he's right Rogue, as far as mods go you're the most dismissive.

#

That's just the auto target system though, there have been other players mention the same thing

#

Your character prioritizes singular over mass, sometimes leading to the timer ending while your character wastes their time

hmm that's weird. i can easily do tier 6 and i haven't even defeated maevath

limpid turtle
#

I don't have this issue anymore either, but it still effects other players who haven't upgraded more. Warrior on it's own has less skills than rogue or mage in comparison.

#

They all have their own skill set, so naturally they do some jobs better than warrior, unless you have all skills unlocked, warrior will lack in comparison on it either way.

#

Some skills are just wasted on singular units shooting to the side of the map instead of at the 4-5 units in front of it.

#

@Bethrazz Until you get Dragon fang, warrior will struggle to keep up since it has no skill like barrage or lightning strike.

#

Here's me doing it on tier 8 pretty easily too maxed out thorium at the time. It's not hard. The new skill for warrior shreds the event, just gotta build yourself properly, that's all

limpid turtle
#

Ok... So you're decked out and have what I mentioned, this proves nothing lol

#

I feel like you missed the entire topic

jolly helm
#

When did you mention using blade strike?

limpid turtle
#

I didn't, because it's a AoE slash, not a sustained attack as mentioned by the other two that were mentioned.

#

Dragon fang is a DMG buff, rogue has attack speed to make up for it, dragon fang is beneficial in comparison to warrior's lack-there-of

#

That's what was mentioned

#

So when warrior uses their skill and targets one guy on the side of the map, instead of the 5 to the center, it's a wasted skill now on CD, where the other classes have continuous attacks with their skills that can make up for that flaw

#

That's all I was saying

#

If warrior had a blade storm skill or something similar to the other two, it'd be less of a problem for some players

jolly helm
#

My point was Blade Strike is an amazing attack that helps shred the event. They said they were warrior so I showed what the warrior can do if built right. Instead of complaining about the code, learn to work around it. The devs stated already that the manual mode, targeting stuff is getting delayed. Sucks but that's development. Gotta make new content or people get bored and leave

limpid turtle
#

You can't compare your stacked gear and build to a normal players lol

jolly helm
#

Yes...my stacked gear...at 900 hp

limpid turtle
#

That wasn't even my point to the conversation

limpid turtle
#

You likely are far more ahead than the bathrezz lol

#

You aren't wrong it's a good skill and development takes time

#

But not everyone is at that level, there's a lot of development to be done

#

Consider it an option though instead

jolly helm
#

In their own words "I've defeated the act 2 final boss 25+ times" so no, I don't think I'm "far ahead" as even with all my buffs, I die to that dragon if I'm not careful

half nova
#

(unless it's a typo, and they mean act 1)

jolly helm
#

That could be, yes

#

But they also said specifically they were end game

half nova
#

that is true

limpid turtle
#

You are right about the build mattering, but I think their point of topic was the targeting system moreover

half nova
#

then comparing with him, i have no idea why i can't beat maevath then

jolly helm
#

It's just a DPS/Defense check. Took me a hell of a lot of grinding to defeat blue once

limpid turtle
#

I'm not sure exactly, only the post host knows exactly what he was trying to mention, but it's clear to me what their complaint was about

half nova
#

i see. welp back to farming helmets till max

limpid turtle
#

Pretty much, time to spend another day doin something else lol

#

Global buffs play a really big part in comparing yourself to another, and time spent, etc. whether you buy gems, have all your upgrades, fact is, most players aren't gonna have as much

#

I prefer looking at what he mentioned was the issue for him, he could just need to grind more

jolly helm
# limpid turtle You are right about the build mattering, but I think their point of topic was th...

Their point was the Xmas event sucks, though if they're complaining about targeting, that's not the Xmas events fault. That is the basic AI the character uses as a whole. The AI is simple:whatever is closest, attack it. It does not prioritize groups because the code for that simply does not exist. So again, it really is a git gud situation. Build warrior decently, get the right skills and you'll be just fine

limpid turtle
#

Yeah, the title is a bit misguided

#

The event was a neat idea, but I do think it's pretty pointless as an event in the end

#

Trial and error

jolly helm
#

The point of the event was mostly to try lootboxes anyways. See if the community liked them or not so they were purposely made easy to obtain

limpid turtle
#

Makes sense

#

I would say the loot boxes need something that will stay to feel rewarding otherwise they are useless

jolly helm
#

Indeed. Trying to convince the devs to try a season pass in favor of lootboxes though lol

limpid turtle
#

Honestly that's probably just gonna turn players away with the state of the game as of right now, every game has the battle pass trope going on and it's decent if you have the playerbase for it, but let's be honest, this game doesn't.

#

It's resources that need managing

#

That requires constant development

#

Meaning your attention is spent on that instead of the betterment of the game

#

The team isn't large enough to split their resources too much

half nova
#

season pass? pass.

jolly helm
#

Gotta make money somehow. Could just spam ads. Or go bankrupt and lose the game forever

limpid turtle
#

You can start by building your playerbase if you want revenue, stock your shelves before you try to sell it

#

Otherwise it looks like scraps of trash to the average eye, that's business 101

jolly helm
#

And that's exactly what they're doing. Hence the steam release

limpid turtle
#

You have a very strong competitor for your game style called maplestory

jolly helm
#

Yeppers. Anywho, not the place for that convo.

limpid turtle
#

Yeah lol

limpid turtle
# half nova idl- *cough

(MapleStory has its own idle version, look at their playerbase and I mentioned things to help in a separate thread)

half nova
limpid turtle
#

Most do xD

#

But it's successful

#

Just need to adapt

jolly helm
#

Y'all this is a suggestion about bad targeting. Not marketing lol

half nova
#

agreed, back to my show i go

limpid turtle
#

Same

tacit schooner
#

Thank you for replies, yes I play Warrior lev88, and I do not have that skill 'Blade Strike' since Talents were reworked and reset. I'll work on it tonight and see if i can get 89 to buy it, within a reasonable time.

#

I didn't know that I had to relearn that Skill through Talents.

jolly helm
#

Yeah gotta watch the patch notes or the news section in-game. Sometimes they drop game changing additions and may miss them. That skill being one of them. I highly suggest just getting a class reset and spending points to be more offensive based. You're hitting a soft cap in the levels right now anyways so exp bonuses (if you have any) are becoming less and less useful

If you're under level 75~ 80~ then yeah <.<
