[uncut dirge]

[fresh flint]

It’s only good if you’re pistoleer

[uncut dirge]

most other classes can just keep moving forward

meanwhile deadeye twirls in place before you can walk

[modern grail]

cus hes chuunibyou

[modern grail]

^

[fresh flint]

Never noticed because it doesn’t matter

My main is pistoleer

[modern grail]

[uncut dirge]

difference is very noticeable when you come from slayer

[modern grail]

[sand marsh]

[fresh flint]

what r u talking about

what selector

[lime dove]

the event

chaos assault

the special item tab

[sand marsh]

if u need engravings still, sure

[lime dove]

theres a legend select pouch but it costs 150 event powder

essentially

but if i use that on silver its 1m

[sand marsh]

[fresh flint]

im not seeing this select bruhv

[modern grail]

event shop

[modern grail]

how will u use it on silver ion get it

[fresh flint]

oh u talm bout the fuckin engraving

[sand marsh]

he's saying it is equivalent

[fresh flint]

fuck that bih

[sand marsh]

ive been using the chaos assault currency on silver

[modern grail]

OOHHHHH

[sand marsh]

i bought out everything i needed

If you use it all on silver, it's about 70mil

[modern grail]

okay now i understand

[lime dove]

im thinking about skipping the legend engraving pouch and the mount

[sand marsh]

ya idc for mount

[lime dove]

but hmm mount might be more worth than 2m silver

[sand marsh]

i bought the engraving pouch cuz why not

hoardin

[lime dove]

i guess

[modern grail]

ill try to buy out the whole shop, still thinking bout the sh thingies tho

[lime dove]

but most books are not worth that much anymore

to be fair

[sand marsh]

ya they arent

[lime dove]

the pouch is retroactive

and new books get added in future

[sand marsh]

there's still some i gotta max out

[lime dove]

ye tbh in the long run that engraving select can probly do me better than 1 m silver

[bitter lichen]

Jinhsi banner looking so pog

[lime dove]

ill think about the mount

[bitter lichen]

holy moly

[lime dove]

Since i dont think ill ever rly use the mount

[bitter lichen]

Quadruple mommy

[lime dove]

is there any special effects or anything on that mount

[sand marsh]

idk

this best mount

[lime dove]

Still so far away Jesus

[wintry depot]

8th at 3am

[sullen plaza]

they have been working on this for years

also 3rd awe

[fresh flint]

Bruh I just want them to finally make a male skin that shows more skin than female skins

[prime wind]

3rd awakening supports get revive all. lost ark saved

[wintry depot]

probably wont happen

[rocky jackal]

Nobody is gonna use the 3th awak unless it's much better then the ones we already have

[fresh flint]

I know

[faint grove]

3rd awakening is a waste of dev time

[rocky jackal]

Fr

[fresh flint]

3rd awakening better be good to be wasting time on some shit like that

[sullen plaza]

bro what?

[rocky jackal]

What

[wintry depot]

its a big system with tripods and shits

its not only a 3rd awakening

[buoyant wagon]

expect nothing to not be disappointed

[sullen plaza]

thats what im sayng

i mean we already know all the stuff

[buoyant wagon]

and for all we know, we get 3rd awakening after behemoth

[sullen plaza]

arent u hyped

for trans / elexir nerfs?

3rd awe

solo raids

[buoyant wagon]

no because im already done with those systems

[sullen plaza]

we legit know almost everything

[buoyant wagon]

and my friends have mostly quit

[rocky jackal]

I haven't started on elixirs ar trans

It better be a big nerf

[prime wind]

quit quit or quit for taiwan

[wintry depot]

even if its a big nerf, when tf we will get those xDD

thats the issue

[ancient tundra]

Dec

[buoyant wagon]

already playing taiwan

1430 there

but a guiildie's friend who works at the publisher says they supposedly might start banning for rmt soon

so best to not go too high

1445 at most maybe

[wind dagger]

Holy

[rocky jackal]

Why switch to another region?

[wind dagger]

Publisher doing more than AGS

[buoyant wagon]

someone in my guild is already 1450 with full level 7s and the game hasnt been out for a week

[ancient tundra]

Surely f2p

[buoyant wagon]

i think he's spent

north of $1500

the gold exchange is fucking unusable currently

[rocky jackal]

I don't get why people switch to different regions

[buoyant wagon]

its 70 RC for like 200 gold

[ancient tundra]

1500 on lev 7s and 1450

[buoyant wagon]

70 RC is a little over $2

$2 per 200 is atrocious

[rocky jackal]

Wtf

Why would you spend on that

[prime wind]

holy

king of valtan

[buoyant wagon]

it's a catch 22

less people using exchange than usual = rates fucked

yesterday i bought 18k for around $63

that would have been like 6.6k via exchange

[rocky jackal]

Lol

Must be nice being rich

[buoyant wagon]

apparently people working at the publisher saw his account being piloted by a streamer in normal valtan

[stark thicket]

im cooking for my project rn

[buoyant wagon]

and he had like 60k gold

which is blatantly impossible for a regular player

[rocky jackal]

What are you working on?

[rocky jackal]

They already have valtan?

[prime wind]

Ok

[buoyant wagon]

released with valtan

vykas in a few weeks

[rocky jackal]

Ahh

Smart move to make people spend money to do valtan as fast as possible

[stark thicket]

im working on a data mining project, testing which params give me the best performance metric

[buoyant wagon]

tbh not sure how sustainable TW is as a region

they lost a lot of potential players when the release got cancelled last year

[deft ridge]

whats your ping?

[buoyant wagon]

and the game's perception lately probably made more than a few people not play

like 200-230 ping

but with a better vpn, probably can go below 200

[deft ridge]

you from ASIA?

[buoyant wagon]

no, NA

[rocky jackal]

So your the one stealing my data?

[rocky jackal]

Why did they cancel?

[buoyant wagon]

almost certainly because tencent got in the way

and forced a china release first

because taiwan release first threatens to have mainland china players go over to taiwan

assuming they can get a taiwan phone number, which isn't that hard

[rocky jackal]

Ahh

How did you get a tw account?

[buoyant wagon]

just borrowed a relative's phone number

[stark thicket]

nah, this is data about malware

[rocky jackal]

Ahh

[stark thicket]

its going to be going awhile its not even a big file lmao

[rocky jackal]

How could someone like me get a tw account?

[stark thicket]

its going to test multiple combinations prob gonna sleep and wake up and it wont be done

[buoyant wagon]

find someone to hook you up with a taiwan number

also, why would you want to play there

if you presumably dont understand the language at all

the region is probably dead in a year

[rocky jackal]

For fun

[ancient tundra]

Just go in kr

[rocky jackal]

Relive the glory days of valtan release

[wind dagger]

[ancient tundra]

Valtan prog

[buoyant wagon]

main complaints right now are the long and boring main story

[rocky jackal]

Yeah

[ancient tundra]

Was fun ngl

[buoyant wagon]

story honestly needs a revamp

it's fucking terrible to play through

i just paid a friend to run me through it

[rocky jackal]

I get that, don't they have powerpasses?

[buoyant wagon]

you need to manually get a character to t3 first

then you can buy a t3 powerpass for like $30

[rocky jackal]

Slave labour

[buoyant wagon]

they give a standard vern powerpass after reaching vern

and their pseudo-ark pass gives a free vern knowledge transfer

[wintry depot]

like us

[buoyant wagon]

so technically 2 vern passes

[rocky jackal]

What about a punika pass

[buoyant wagon]

pay ~$30-33

forgot the actual RC amount

[rocky jackal]

No free pass?

[buoyant wagon]

lol you think they will give a free punika pass

on week 1 of release

[rocky jackal]

Nah

Gotta milk the players

[buoyant wagon]

no region has done that

a lot of casual players just slowly going through the story but not sure how long they will last

taiwan is just too small as a region

[swift tree]

Oh no, you have to spend gold on KT. Good Heavens.

[buoyant wagon]

population of the island is literally the same as one large city in China

[buoyant wagon]

the story is extremely shit to play through, that's undeniable

[swift tree]

[buoyant wagon]

i think people will eventually complain about doing forced horizontal for stuff like runes

especially once honeymoon wears off and less people are around for islands

[clear kiln]

guyss this is this ||thirain||?? nineveh rapport quest spoiler

[swift tree]

||Luterra||

[kindred ravine]

bro looks kinda goofy

[buoyant wagon]

might buy an account in CN to play with friends around the end of summer

if our version is truly doomed by then

[sullen plaza]

bro

our version is not doomed

[kindred ravine]

yes it is

[sullen plaza]

how tho

yall be saying this every day

[kindred ravine]

no shot you don't see a massive decline pattern

[sullen plaza]

since launch of the game

[buoyant wagon]

even the most charitable interpretation of our version is that it's doing pretty badly currently

outside of the usual demographic of people who are easily satisfied by anything

no group is happy

whales not happy

f2p not happy

new players not happy

[rocky jackal]

It's true it's been declining ever since launch

[sullen plaza]

yes

[kindred ravine]

and it still is

[buoyant wagon]

our version has managed to displease every relevant group of players

[swift tree]

a) That's how MMOs work
b) It's collapsed in the last few months around Thaemine release.

[gleaming pendant]

OUR LOST ARK IS DOOMED

100/20/50 or 100/20/20/20/10?

[kind oriole]

thanks NAW and South guess

[kindred ravine]

they needed to merge all the servers, and wish they'd stop being pussies and actually ban rmt and botters

[wintry depot]

100 20 50

[buoyant wagon]

at this point

[modern grail]

man hack yo girls account

[buoyant wagon]

banning rmt is also killing the game

[kindred ravine]

yeah

[modern grail]

we can split the gold

[buoyant wagon]

because they are the last players left actually playing

and who still occasionally f4

[swift tree]

huh wonder why

[kindred ravine]

atleast the bots should be removed. people who rmt are actually playing between enjoying the game and sunk cost

[swift tree]

./s

[buoyant wagon]

if you think meaningful numbers of people quit because of rmt, you are kidding yourself

it's just one issue on top of other more significant issues

if progression and monetization in this game weren't so dogshit, if there were more things to do other than raids and dailies

people wouldn't bat an eye at rmt

[sullen plaza]

like what?

give some ideas

[buoyant wagon]

every vertically inclined mmo has rmt out the ass

adjusted gold sinks for our version, adjusted raid difficulty for normal modes, solo content, awful cash shop, other avenues of progression other than raiding

better skins that aren't completely out of touch

better management (especially communication) in general from the publisher

[kindred ravine]

still wish they'd fucking make the level packs worth buying

5500rc for what? 100 extra gems?

[buoyant wagon]

i dont blame AGS for not being able to affect things that require actual development like the scrapped MOBA game mode that KR showed

but these things, assuming they didnt go full dumbass when negotiating the contract (which tbh they probably did), they should be able to control

[prime wind]

its really the time upkeep, even vets have trouble keeping up

[buoyant wagon]

but yeah, not banning rmt is just a cope reason that people say that the game is dying due to

no other region gives as much of a fuck about rmt as ours

and i've said it before, people are so allergic to any p2w, sanctioned or not, in the west that it has a hand in the game being terrible for legitimate spending

[prime wind]

not everyone can log in when maintenance is done at like 3 am or whatever. thats why theres only 150 scalp clears of g4

[buoyant wagon]

it took forever to get legendary skins here, we still have no mileage, our cash shop packs still blow

[rocky jackal]

Why don't they just make the shop packs better then rmt

[buoyant wagon]

our version should have just went ahead with CN levels of p2w while making adjustments for f2p

[prime wind]

cause they stupid

[buoyant wagon]

because people who are anti-p2w will bitch relentlessly about it

how "the game is forcing you to spend"

[prime wind]

nah i dont think they have the pull or cared to do it

[rocky jackal]

They already do

[buoyant wagon]

they definitely have the pull

[kindred ravine]

tbh idk what people even give a shit about p2w for. what are you winning? the only shit that was actually effected by rmting or p2w was The First title and that's the only time AGS gave a shit

[buoyant wagon]

any publisher has the power to control the cash shop

[buoyant wagon]

because in the west, people see games as meritocracies

where time and skill should be rewarded above everything else

it ruins their immersion when people spend for an advantage

[prime wind]

then they just didnt care. some of it is no brainer, would have quadrupled their store profits

[kindred ravine]

legit if people want to spend $5000 a month on a game let them continue to give us a stable game

[buoyant wagon]

and it also reminds people who shitty income inequality irl

[kindred ravine]

[buoyant wagon]

the west as a region is just impossible to really cater to when it comes to Asian games

other than gachas because lmao gambling addiction and 2d waifus

[rocky jackal]

People just bitch about p2w because they are poor if they were rich they would do the same thing

[buoyant wagon]

i dont like the system behind yoz jar

but i'd prefer having it to not having it at all

[kindred ravine]

and even then, you can just save up, or get lucky on embers and buy the skins

[buoyant wagon]

like i said earlier, that's still a problem for western players

[kindred ravine]

not like it's impossible to obtain

yeah

[sullen plaza]

real and true

[buoyant wagon]

people bitch about good skins being largely locked behind money

because it means someone has to spend

and limited quantity = not everyone can get them

[kindred ravine]

the only time i'd give a shit about p2w is if i'm playing pvp in a game and this mfer just 1 shots me because his gear is maxed out from cashing

[buoyant wagon]

AGS is a shit publisher indeed

but let's not pretend western players aren't also shit customers

[sullen plaza]

serenei can u chill out

its not that deep

someone time out this guy

[kindred ravine]

mfer didn't you ask for examples earlier

[sullen plaza]

its not that deep fr

[prime wind]

but thats not quite true, NA has a good amount of "eastern" players with eastern spending habits as well

[swift tree]

That’s shit market capture then. No matter how you thinly veil passive-aggressive racism.

[prime wind]

they just didnt understand their market and price accordingly

[buoyant wagon]

not near the numbers that are sustainable

and when the value for spending ingame constantly gets worse

[rocky jackal]

Like that chines whale with-8mil gold

[buoyant wagon]

you know where the road leads to

[trail tendon]

https://i.imgur.com/IzCLfsq.png

someone give luck

[buoyant wagon]

it's not racism lmao, the gaming and spending culture here is clearly different

[trail tendon]

pitying lv6

[buoyant wagon]

for example, go to KR, CN, TW

everyone and their mother rmts and accepts it as normal

nobody cares if someone else swipes as long as the game does not literally lock power behind swiping only

it's unrealistic to expect a KMMO to adapt to a western market because the games are designed from the ground up to be monetized a certain way

they can't charge a box cost/sub fee for the game, they can't make the shop better value because people complain about p2w

[swift tree]

Zzz

[buoyant wagon]

they can't run purely off skins and a terrible value currency exchange

lost ark is monetized completely around people being pressured into swiping for progression due to item level requirements, gatekeeping, and rng systems that can't be bypassed

compared to like BDO which is monetized around getting people to pay several hundred dollars for convenience items

[buoyant wagon]

and don't forget that developers will never allow the game to be changed that significantly for a foreign audience because if foreign markets have that much easier of a game, their domestic audience will complain

[stark thicket]

zzz on dn

[kindred ravine]

Yo wtf they’re adding a company van to Lethal Company

[buoyant wagon]

you don't think KR would riot if we got 50% cost reduction elixirs and extra steps but they didn't?

[stark thicket]

[late portal]

[buoyant wagon]

koreans bitch each other out for having an easier game - just look at regular server maplestory Korean players shitting on reboot players because reboot had faster progression, which contributed to Nexon nerfing reboot to the ground with daily meso cap among other things lol

[swift tree]

You’re in this chat repeating this same speil every few weeks, then sprinkle in bits like “western players need to learn to handle gacha” - where obviously the problem is how it’s been delivered in pace/communication.
Then brag about how you’ve “learnt the system” like some false superiority.

Look, it’s obvious you RMT. Even accidentally let it slip multiple times. And mentioned account buying earlier.
Yeah sure, AGS payment model is ass, but you’re sure as shit not one to talk.

[sullen plaza]

?

[kindred ravine]

You can still get fate embers so it’s always not a loss to do a guardian

being an ethical company building up your player base and making a good game and creating a good name for yourself or stay in skorea and be greed for money

[ancient tundra]

[buoyant wagon]

anyways, don't pretend that western aversion to p2w has a hand in contributing to a bad cash shop which in turn affects profits as well as player willingness to spend inside the game

[sullen plaza]
