[tulip charm]

from 1615

[supple parrot]

ugh.. averaged out thats above average

u know that right

classic zheng complainin about above average luck

https://tenor.com/view/cute-adorable-duckling-haha-classic-gif-17283485

[tulip charm]

yes, towards the end there, but prior to this, this was the worst honing rng by far, not even close -_-

like between 1600>1610

[supple parrot]

after pity 19 weapon i just hit 18 and 19 armor

in under 5 taps

[tulip charm]

gratz, but...

[supple parrot]

i need this luck on weapon

not armor

[tulip charm]

if i am lucky, your averaging like 20% before hitting it feels like lol

[supple parrot]

????

[tulip charm]

even with that weapon pity

[supple parrot]

if im averaging 20% i would be 1620

not 1615

literal average luck

when u average it out

obv it seems lucky if you ONLY look at my taps that hit early

its like u only look at ur 6%

[quartz turret]

everyone so lucky

[supple parrot]

im the only one here without multiple 1620s

[quartz turret]

u have 2mil gold u can have more 1620s

Anytime u wanted

[supple parrot]

WHAT THE FUCK? i just hit another 17->19

in 3 taps

[quartz turret]

Undeserved

[supple parrot]

gunlancer is 1615 now

caught up to sorc

[tulip charm]

i mean, this is my glavier, but after this pity only 1 more hone till 1620

[quartz turret]

I dont have silver to hone

[supple parrot]

i mean i literally pitied both 18 and 19 weapon on gl

[quartz turret]

That’s deserved

[tulip charm]

and i got like 3 other pieces above 60% right now, but the bard and arti carried through, above average luck like you said also, at the cost of the other pieces, and thats fine, i only wish the alt arti honing held up too

[quartz turret]

my last piece on arti is gonna pity

[supple parrot]

f2p roster

2 alts at 1615 2 at 1614

hones always average out

[tulip charm]

the paladin have no bounds and its stalled at frog ilevel?

[supple parrot]

aint no way paly is making 1620

he has 600 leaps

and weapon is still 16

[rigid aurora]

chuan what's the meaning behind feedie

[quartz turret]

I’ll hone my striker and pally but leaving gl behind

[tulip charm]

your luck is hella good you still have 600 bounds wth lol

my gs stalled at 1613, no bounds

[supple parrot]

my dota ign was fEEd cuz of a meme with a pro player

then i made my mmo name feedie

[rigid aurora]

oh

[quartz turret]

Then what is chuan

[supple parrot]

[quartz turret]

[supple parrot]

what is rosey

ur bf gave u that nick name?

[quartz turret]

What is zheng

[tulip charm]

i have some great advice

leave NOTHING behind, hone everything, including the SE

[supple parrot]

leave ur striker behind

cuz ur gonna replace it with male scrapper

gl is always useful

[quartz turret]

gl doesn’t have 99 weapon

[supple parrot]

doesnt matter 99 weapon

male scrapper with 0 qual weapon will do double the dmg

[quartz turret]

Or gems

[supple parrot]

doesnt matter

male scrapper do more dmg

with no gems

[tulip charm]

his striker is like the 2nd most stacked char in gems and quality

[supple parrot]

doesnt matter

inconsistent

and no utility

[tulip charm]

and he hits everything on striker early on hones

[quartz turret]

Striker utility is fine

[supple parrot]

i need better gems for my gunlancer

but gold is going down quick

[quartz turret]

just buy them

is my breaker gonna be 1620 by echidna

I need lv10 gems for se and breaker

I need a good preset for breaker

[supple parrot]

when is breaker coming

[stark thicket]

its sad they never cared enough or invested enough to make money off it

[swift tree]

no

[cedar zealot]

just imagine a f2p pokemon mmo

[swift tree]

doesn't spawn for anothe rhour lol

[cedar zealot]

that looks and runs as well as genshin, multiplatform

legit would break the gaming market

but nope

nintendo too dumb to realize it

[swift tree]

Nintendo would never do it as they adhere to Solo/Party games that their core audience (Japan) only play.

Echo chamber telling them it would never work

Granted, they'd get chased out of the country for making a game that doesn't have JP as their core audience

Shame France didnt do that with Ubisoft when they got money grubby

[cursive ruin]

I got

corn flaek

[buoyant wagon]

damn, china is getting breaker the same time as us

gotta milk the new class hype

[nova garden]

Those are goated

[frail shard]

how to make meringue pie

[buoyant wagon]

1 month for cn to hone from normal brel to hard brel

[frail shard]

this girl is useless she cant make meringue pie it looks wet, pale, greasy as f

my girl

[cursive ruin]

nyquill and some apples

I got timmy's

[delicate grove]

is this game playable with 2 monitors? i cant see the option to cstom windows size / dragable windows border

[frail shard]

no

only wide screen

[delicate grove]

aww ok too bad.. :<

i'm qte enjoying if that can be happen (like bdo)

[cursive ruin]

6 console(s)

[stuck flume]

finally got a clown lobby where people arent stupid and we clear first pull

[bold aspen]

[rugged lynx]

noah

[cursive ruin]

kuku skip lobbies be like

guys let's skip all mechs

Not because I want to speedrun

But because I don't know how to do mechs

[stuck flume]

LMAO SO REAL

[cedar zealot]

when you have been skipping stuff for more than a year, its hard to remember stuff

i dont know how to do dice mech in g1 anymore

[rugged lynx]

then again if I ever get dice im leaving htat party

[stuck flume]

Linair ( 140 Cat 🐈 / 1 Dog 🐕)

[cursive ruin]

that one is fine

[cursive ruin]

dice only happens if the gate lasts for more than 5 minutes

and if that happens

just leave

[stuck flume]

if im in g1 for more than 5 minutes im quitting this game

[cursive ruin]

ye just gtfo

[buoyant wagon]

cn even getting a mobile app before us

[cedar zealot]

I mean

CN is more active, more profitable

[buoyant wagon]

from what i gathered the app sort of functions as a loawa

[cedar zealot]

They should be getting everything and we shouldn't be getting anything

[buoyant wagon]

and you can look up characters and builds on it

[cedar zealot]

Would be nice if we had something like that...oh well

[buoyant wagon]

that's more of a tencent thing than sg

i wouldnt want to be on their release schedule though

honing pressure is insane

[cedar zealot]

They are on a more accelerated path than us right?

[buoyant wagon]

yeah

1/31 normal brel, hard brel in march

[cedar zealot]

Yeah that's rough

[buoyant wagon]

so at best 1.5 months to hone from 1490/1520 to 1540/1560

[cedar zealot]

They might be able to catch up to us by the end of the year

[buoyant wagon]

without accelerated mat gain unless you start swiping the shop/gold/rmt

[bold aspen]

AGS AGS AGS

[buoyant wagon]

nah definitely not end of the year

breaker also in march along with rowen, slayer in april, elgacia in may

that's as far as their roadmap went today

akkan probably around july is my guess

june probably will be scouter or souleater

[cursive ruin]

325 * 2 = 750

[dawn yacht]

yeah aram cant be bothered for draft or normals so aram is the most relevant for me

point is its working

[wintry depot]

@kind lotus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baaNwRAhHBo

[stark thicket]

@rugged lynx Meant to wave not Yorn Neria lol

[rugged lynx]

What is the meaning of this

[wind dagger]

nah man

no fucking way

what the hell is AGS doing?

this is embarassing

[buoyant wagon]

being small indie studio

honestly that's the real answer

[dawn yacht]

adriel in shambles no mobile app for us yet

[buoyant wagon]

it's a not-so-great performing subsidiary of amazon that has no history or experience with running games well

[nova garden]

Yeah

[buoyant wagon]

AGS's only history prior to new world was no-name mobile game launches

and 2 or 3 of the games that were in development around the time of new world were ultimately cancelled

and then new world basically flopped

[nova garden]

Ags isn’t amazon as a whole. It’s a rather small subsidiary company that is kinda… iffy

[dawn yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-dow-gif-24856862

[buoyant wagon]

the only real game development experience they have is all in upper management positions

[nova garden]

Though, I will give them props that they’re still working on new world.

[buoyant wagon]

and just a handful

[nova garden]

Not giving up

[wind dagger]

G3 Kayangel is a special gate indeed

[buoyant wagon]

there's no real reason for a talented developer to work at ags because there are other studios out there with better pedigrees

and ags has no experience publishing and running a game

[buoyant wagon]

but honestly, the west will never get a good publisher because no publisher is as large as tencent or as willing to monetize in such a fashion to pay for everything

[swift tree]

It's a development studio head up by a bunch of "senior project leads" known for tanking older GaaS titles and IPs.
Lost Ark team on its own has some level of being semi-competent despite the dogshit tools said leadership has given them.

[buoyant wagon]

at best you get something like bdo where the developer self publishes and does a pretty good job at it

[nova garden]

The sad truth

[swift tree]

Most AAA Western publishers are now partially owned by tencent...

[buoyant wagon]

big difference between being owned and directly calling the shots

[kind lotus]

POG

[swift tree]

Shareholder Majority gets input on decision-making. Been a big impact on Film, TV and Music industry as well.

[stark thicket]

It's Yorn Neria sticker I use when I go around praising her beauty

[stark thicket]

[buoyant wagon]

though to be fair, AGS did get the co-founder of 2K

who did a pretty good job with 2K while he was there

but he's at a VP level and very far removed from day to day operations

[stark thicket]

Guys it's so cold, I'm over here just cuddling under the thick covers

[swift tree]

but also the person that killed Star Wars: Galaxies and the lead that was in charge during the death of Command and Conquer.
I'll shift blame of CoC to Electronic Arts though, since that publisher as a whole is dentege.

[nova garden]

I got a new comforter for my bed

Goose down

[swift tree]

Big issue with Western Publishers is also the sheer disconnection from their audience.
Tencent using user data to guide their decisions, monetizing based on what works.
Ubisoft/Activison/EA flipping the same 3-4 versions of monetization haphazardly slapped from multiplayer games onto singleplayer and wondering why it isn't being received as well by their audience.

[wintry depot]

im very confused on this song

[stark thicket]

I'm using some blanket my nanny made me when I was a baby

[swift tree]

Ubi/Act/EA relying on Intellectual Property whilst damaging same IPs with their practices.

CN also never had the non-monetized console era to enjoy so

Different culture when you haven't grown up on over a decade of games without purchases involved in the gameplay loop

[buoyant wagon]

i mean

tencent's monetization practices in china wouldn't fly here

it'd get roasted into oblivion

[swift tree]

Also literally illegal in some aspects.

but gets away with international sales thanks to the internet and mobile stores being... well... international

[buoyant wagon]

over there, the question is "why wouldn't there be a mileage shop"

here it's "why is there a mileage shop"

[nova garden]

I love it when my gacha game has a $980 pity

[buoyant wagon]

i spent $2500 on 4 gacha pities in 30 minutes once

that was a dark time

[wind dagger]

[cedar zealot]

what game is that

[nova garden]

Attack on time

[wind dagger]

ah, the coomer game

[cedar zealot]

do u play every random gacha that comes up

[swift tree]

Q:"Why is there a mileage shop"?
A: So long-term paying customers feel rewarded for remaining engaged with the game long-term instead of sporatic bursts of payment driven by grind. That the gacha-ness is placated by an accumulated "thanks" from the studio/publisher for being a paying member of their GaaS.
Reddit Post: ThIs GaMe WaNtS mE tO pAy $2000 fOr A SkIn

[nova garden]

Though, you get so many free gems it’s whatever.

[cedar zealot]

i only play the big bois

[nova garden]

Yes, I quit lost ark for five months to play 13 gacha daily.

[cedar zealot]

so star rail for now, then wuthering waves when it releases

[wind dagger]

Imagine if

[stark thicket]

Where are you 1000$ for pity

[wind dagger]

they released Lost Ark instead of AGS

[cedar zealot]

im not sure if thats a good or bad thing but as long as you are enjoying it, its fine

[buoyant wagon]

mileage shop just looks bad from a western audience perspective though

it's unavoidable

[cedar zealot]

its not a big deal

[buoyant wagon]

1. it has stuff f2p will never be able to access

[stark thicket]

I'm hangry.. I need food

[cedar zealot]

the kr mileage shop is shit anyway

[wind dagger]

gimme ur food

[buoyant wagon]

2. when things in there cost $2k in mileage, it makes people bitch harder about predatory monetization

[swift tree]

ESO gets away with it

[cedar zealot]

now if mileage shop has exclusive desirable shit

that everyone wants

[buoyant wagon]

ESO isnt nearly as p2w of a game

[cedar zealot]

now that would leave a bad taste in my mouth

[buoyant wagon]

glowy jacket

[stark thicket]

Give me some milk

[wind dagger]

[buoyant wagon]

i mean, did you forget how unpopular yoz jar was back at launch

threads about it were filled with "no thanks, get this gamba system out of my games"

[cursive ruin]

brel has over 20 bus lobbies rn

[nova garden]

Undercutting

[swift tree]

threads made by people who would never be part of the long-term audience of Lost Ark :L

[buoyant wagon]

pespectives now are a lot more skewed since those people quit the game

[stark thicket]

I'm worried eventually games like league of legends will have you pay a dollar per league match

[buoyant wagon]

that's the problem though

the publisher doesnt know if those people would stay or not

[rigid aurora]

bros really writing up a 2 week notice for a static

[buoyant wagon]

therefore they have to listen to them

[stark thicket]

Or cod games having ads popup Everytime you reload

[ancient tundra]

ikr

[stark thicket]

[ancient tundra]

bro malding

[buoyant wagon]

also with the game being freshly launched in the west

public perception matters a lot

matters a lot less now that the game's reputation is unsalvageable

[swift tree]

Meanwhile. Pheon Debacle

[buoyant wagon]

but it did matter at the start

can't really negotiate pheons though

[swift tree]

Oh of course. that fuck up did massive damage though

[buoyant wagon]

SG would never remove them, even Tencent wouldn't be able to convince SG to remove pheons

[stark thicket]

Is this mizu again ?

[rigid aurora]

mizu would just call his static a bunch of slurs

[cursive ruin]

undercut dn

[swift tree]

Not talking about removing Pheons, im talking about the free ones they gave out by accident

[buoyant wagon]

pheongate was fucking stupid though

should have just admitted the L

[swift tree]

Yea

[wind dagger]

Pheongate, lmao

[swift tree]

So much goodwill lost by that

[swift tree]

dude, game lost like 100k players on steam following it. And that was without a bot ban wave

[buoyant wagon]

dont think the game actually lost 100k players

[swift tree]

The amount of rageposts here too

[buoyant wagon]

but it didnt help

[wind dagger]

I wish I could get those free pheons, I didn't benefit from it

[buoyant wagon]

anyone who quit over it was already looking for an excuse to quit

[swift tree]

PR wise its a fucking disaster tho

[buoyant wagon]

even Maplestory had more active and responsive CMs

even if global CMs were powerless

[swift tree]

Lost Ark picked it up too late..

[nova garden]

I’m watching this dude play through ark ascended. He’s never played the game before, and he’s going in totally blind to nearly everything.

[bold aspen]

[swift tree]

Granted, have seen worse CM actions...

[buoyant wagon]

best thing that can happen is ags's publishing contract doesnt get renewed and sg self publishes

like what happened in bdo

[swift tree]

Pearl Abyss?

[wind dagger]

what will the benefits be?

[buoyant wagon]

game got a lot better when pearl abyss self published

[buoyant wagon]

not having literal small indie studio with head up their ass managing things

getting stuff like api

[swift tree]

No skimming by publisher for income. Currency got cheaper to purchase.
Communication suddenly got 100x better.
Translation Quality went up.

[buoyant wagon]

that too

[swift tree]

less SIS and more like AA short-bus.

[wind dagger]

Man

Market APi would so nice

[rigid aurora]

[wind dagger]

also to find profiles in websites

[swift tree]

Cant see SG wanting to do it themselves unless working with Tencent gets a lot easier.

[rigid aurora]

ive never played ark either maybe i'll buy and try

[buoyant wagon]

us not having api

is the biggest fucking cop out

[swift tree]

bruh the amount of Community Website stuff... instead of some half-baked fandom site abandoned.

[wind dagger]

market api for putting together build fast and quick without spending hours searching it yourself

[wind dagger]

Our version is dogshit

[nova garden]

If you do, let me know. I’m playing on a cluster server.

[wind dagger]

Can't believe CN launched not so long and they're already ahead

[rigid aurora]

[swift tree]

They already have Kurzan?

[rigid aurora]

before i do i gotta replace ram

i think shit dying

[swift tree]

CN version is done in direct partnership though, much closer than AGS :L

[wind dagger]

Well not with continent

[nova garden]

He’s playing mostly vanilla, and those settings and lack of QoL is for people with no life, no job, and a heavy masochism kink.

[wind dagger]

but general stuff

so how long does AGS have contract with SG

[swift tree]

well when they game was launched, KR hadn't actually made the bunch of QoL stuff we have now

almost like Global would have benefited by waiting a year

[buoyant wagon]

tinfoil hat as to why we dont have api

[bold aspen]

surely ends soon

[buoyant wagon]

they dont want us to know how many bots there really are

[swift tree]

low-key legitimately could be the reason

[ancient talon]

bots seem to be making a comeback

[buoyant wagon]

nah, tencent negotiated a lot more control over their version

tencent usually does that with any game they publish

[nova garden]

I need to sell my fish

[buoyant wagon]

and they can do that because china is the biggest market and tencent is rich

[swift tree]

Ofc. Need to meet very specific rules that China has.

Big Market + Strict Market rules.

[buoyant wagon]

not just rules

[ancient talon]

missed the top

but so did i

[cursive ruin]

remove pheon from stones

[ancient talon]

they were probably manually banning bots and just gave up

[swift tree]

Financial incentive + Legal incentive is one hell of a combo tho

[buoyant wagon]

tencent basically goes "we know the market a lot better than you do, we have the experience monetizing things, give us the keys to run the show"

and usually the developer agrees

[nova garden]

I want to sell at 200+ anyways.

[buoyant wagon]

all they have to do is keep the main things the developer wants intact

[ancient talon]

i dont know if it will ever go back up to 200

if they keep flooding bots like this

[nova garden]

They had a really good backend fix for bots, but it seems they broke it. They’ll have to find something like that again.

[buoyant wagon]

its why they can negotiate launching aero buff earlier than it even ships in KR

so that it can drive more people to play the class at launch

oh, they're also upping the first time brel clear mats in cn from 30 to 40

so that people can make 3 armor pieces in the first two weeks doing 1-3 so that they have a better chance of hitting 1520 for g4

actually a pretty W change instead of squeezing the players harder

[wind dagger]

wtf

who the hell is in charge of LA in AGS

why don't we have that

[buoyant wagon]

they're still fucked for hard though

[wind dagger]

sure

but

[buoyant wagon]

1.5 months from 1520-1560 will be rough

[wind dagger]

a W is a W

great for new players

[buoyant wagon]

they have to start being less greedy and help people out with honing other than cash shop packages though

lots of players quitting there also

[wind dagger]

Where?

In CN?

[fringe glacier]

Hello all, I recently picked up this game after stopping a while ago (I played 1-2 months on release) and I was wondering, do people still do events (for islands etc) ? Or is that really hard to do now?

[buoyant wagon]

yeah

honeymoon period has worn off, a non-insignificant number of people aren't happy with the monetization and vertical progression pressure

[fringe glacier]

Yeah I saw that, but is the game still "playable" like before?

[buoyant wagon]

not talking about global

but i guess the same point applies here

anyways, islands may be dead depending on your server

korea plans to make them into a region wide matchmaking system

[fringe glacier]

that's sad

[buoyant wagon]

but no idea when we get that update

[nova garden]

I mean, there's not really any reason to do islands outside of a few.

[fringe glacier]

but I found it fun, going to islands and seeing that many people and stuff 😂

[buoyant wagon]

everyone who wanted to do islands is done with them

[nova garden]

You can see them hanging out and doing erp in elgacia or whatever

[buoyant wagon]

and the game has a fraction of the playerbase it did at launch

not much you can do about that

[fringe glacier]

mhmm yeah

[buoyant wagon]

turns out the islands were pretty shit content also

[fringe glacier]

From what I saw at least, anything below 1415 is 100% dead

[buoyant wagon]

deprecated content, developers just want you to skip it now

[fringe glacier]

yeah

I was amazed at the amount of hate the game got lmao

but I guess people will always be unhappy

[buoyant wagon]

to be fair, a lot of it was deserved

[fringe glacier]

What were the main reasons ?

[dull obsidian]

Need to be like 1490 to play with actual hoomans now

Or else you're getting bussed 95% of the time

[buoyant wagon]

game has a ton of problems, and above all it's really a niche game that's not meant for wide appeal among a western audience

[nova garden]

Well yeah, everyone is given a power pass that'll boost you to 1415 ilvl.

[rigid aurora]

still getting bussed if you're not like 1580 tbh

[dull obsidian]

So many people get bussed to 1540-1580

ye

[nova garden]

i still get bussed

[rigid aurora]

youre a willing customer

[nova garden]

[dull obsidian]

When will you buy my busses in NAE

[fringe glacier]

thats sad man I think its the only mmorpg I actually love

[buoyant wagon]

rng, monetization, lack of content, bots, bad publisher

that's just to name a few

[fringe glacier]

but isnt that all games?

[dull obsidian]

Lost ark feels bearable for me

[buoyant wagon]

non-korean mmos generally aren't as greedily monetized

[dull obsidian]

I dunno maybe I just played shit games

[fringe glacier]

like I recall trying to play WoW a few years ago for the first time, I got to max level and there was absolutely nothing to do

[buoyant wagon]

most other mmos have content beyond half a dozen raids and chaos dungeons

[fringe glacier]

maybe im just dumb lol but idk

[buoyant wagon]

retail WoW might have been shit for the most part of its recent years

but to say it has less stuff to do than LOA is kind of disengenuous

[fringe glacier]

so whats the main mmo with "hard" dungeons (like LA) that people play nowdays?

[buoyant wagon]

even if you compare one expansion cycle only to all of LOA

FF14

[fringe glacier]

hmmm

[wind dagger]

Do people realize now they grind Lost Ark only to do raids?

[buoyant wagon]

except the combat is shit

due to tab target, gcd

[fringe glacier]

yup thats why I stopped FF14 too

and thats why I love LA 😂
