Susge

wise pasture

#

he has them obviously

wise pasture
#

but it is not like that makes him special

potent dagger
#

Dont check logs its bad

runic hill
#

too late

#

now i know why u like CP

wise pasture
#

KEKW looks like my db logs

potent dagger
#

I’m support main i play db for fun

runic hill
#

cant change my mind ppl should play with ppl who the same DPS as they do (+/-20%)

potent dagger
runic hill
#

i wish i could

wise pasture
#

I would be fine with it, would speed up my runs significantly in general KEKW

potent dagger
#

Wont stop you from getting gatekeept

loud vortex
#

I'm fine with downward compatible

potent dagger
runic hill
wise pasture
#

I wish

loud vortex
#

like taking my main to an Aegir lobby full of mokokos

runic hill
#

did they like remove clown cards from the loot table?

#

almost done another week no card

potent dagger
loud vortex
#

dunno

wary timber
#

its only like 3% to drop so

loud vortex
#

nm has a little higher droprate than solo iirc

#

and it's faster than solo

runic hill
#

ye if i could enter NM alone i would xd

wise pasture
#

for the specific ones

loud vortex
#

We can farm it together in NM

#

skip that mario shit

runic hill
#

i mean all my chars onetap the boss without a sup its only like 2b

wise pasture
#

getting the lobby is the problem

loud vortex
#

ye

#

hard to find ppl

uncut dirge
#

wtf is this class

#

302m udps with 1966 combat power

runic hill
#

HM or FA?

uncut dirge
#

front attack

runic hill
#

ye its pretty good

wise pasture
#

ye, they do pretty well at lower lvls

runic hill
#

from my duo run

#

same CP as yours

uncut dirge
#

woah

runic hill
#

but drex is kinda RNG if you get a lot of counters DPS skyrockets

#

she did 363/379 last week in kaz so ye class is really nice

uncut dirge
#

what about armoche?

runic hill
#

368 but omega scuffed party and bad sup i assume she could go around 420-450 there

uncut dirge
#

dps, right? not udps?

runic hill
#

DPS ye

#

Kaz uDPS was 204 and 220 armoche 230

#

Kaz was def not bad armoche still lotsa room to get a better run but u know how it is

#

with runs this fast tiny things can be such a big dif already

uncut dirge
#

so you're one of the guys above me huh

runic hill
#

those 3 gates were 1x 100 and 2x 99 so probably

uncut dirge
#

(you're #2 and #3 on armoche at <2k, i'm #4)

#

I only got close to 2k via getting the super charge build going with ark grid

#

Used a lot of the selectors I had for this, seemed more useful than just increasing blues with selectors on some other chars

runic hill
#

i got a card from clown but a purple one thx game

runic hill
#

soon i'll get my 3rd core hopefully

swift tree
#

BRAWLER

#

oofs caps

slow saddle
#

Sheesh

runic hill
#

i give in, LA you won -2 selectors

slow saddle
#

My alts are stacking better paradise stuff than main for now but definitely will rebound later

runic hill
#

i just checked my waterset... armen died harder in my cards than in the fkn story

slow saddle
#

Rough times

runic hill
#

24 it is if next raid is water

slow saddle
#

You aren’t buying mari’s cards I assume either

runic hill
#

nah but its legit just 3 cards total that fucked me over, they ate nearly all my selectors

#

not been getting armens kadans (and T3 clowns)

#

i think i opened like 9 or 10 selectors just for kadan

#

if we get 1 more raid without water set it should be fine tho

swift tree
#

class achievements go brrr

swift magnet
slow saddle
#

Out here crushing planets

#

We need some of those planets you know

runic hill
slow saddle
#

Damn y’all have level 10 gems to even reroll?

runic hill
#

i have a single dmg 10 and i use it on 4 dif classes

slow saddle
#

That’s an insane silver sink that’s self inflicted

swift magnet
#

have exactly 1 and my valky wont give it away xD

runic hill
#

self inflicted by not knowing how important gems will be when i decided to play 6 dif classes

#

but im fine on silver

#

on average week i go even

#

this week just hits hard cause resting + unlucky

slow saddle
#

I usually am even or a net positive but then it gets smashed down in batches from min-maxing astrogems

runic hill
#

ye my minmaxing will be just boss dmg and fk the single 10 cost

#

and even more fk 8 9 2x10

#

there is no way we will get a raid with a DPS check so impossible that reasonable minmaxing (just get 4 or 5 additional or boss whatever u get) wont be enough before this system gets nerfed like elixirs

slow saddle
#

Yeah always gonna be that way

#

But bare minimums ain’t it for me, sounds boring

runic hill
#

we are just so overjuiced at this point that we skip mechs even on release if bosses have a maximum phasing speed

nova summit
slow saddle
#

Always gonna be that way

#

Every new raid only needs a player to go so far in the previously released subsystem

runic hill
#

tbf kazeros even had a weak DPS check on TFM, it's just that 8 ppl staying alive for 30 min is not a given if you are on min DPS

burnt tree
#

yawns

nova summit
#

or udps per player or whatever

runic hill
#

if you consider ally skills on TFM its between 300 and 330 for all segments

nova summit
#

my 2kcp char does like 230m and im bad

runic hill
#

not quite sure what the average for 2-2+3 is if you use full offense armen but probably like 320?

nova summit
#

but i guess tfm hard cuz you insta die

runic hill
#

ye the issue is more that if you have to greed to do that dmg its very unlikely that 8 ppl survive for 30 min

runic hill
#

but its totally possible to do that on 2.5k CP if you are confident on greeding everything even if very unlikely that 8 ppl can do that without mistake

slow saddle
#

Except no one was doing that at the time

burnt tree
#

these are so useless mannn

slow saddle
#

Maybe now since TFM has been out for so long and if people actually bringing people with that low CP

#

Kinda moot

#

People aren’t stepping into TFM with 2.5k cp

runic hill
#

ye i wanted to do a 2.5k CP TFM but i never found more than 2 others who wanted to try

slow saddle
#

Most people wouldn’t bother wasting time

#

Except maybe to carry a friend

#

For title or whatever

runic hill
#

tbh i had to greed very hard week 1 in HM since i did it on 2.4k and maybe i wanted to also be top DPS to annoy the doubters xd

slow saddle
#

Weird goals

#

Underdog mentality

burnt tree
#

do i use my 3 selectors to get lvl 5 or nah Thonking_Much

runic hill
#

w ragebait mentality

slow saddle
#

I could also have gotten to school by walking but I decided to take the bus

runic hill
#

running when the bus is driving by but still being first at school to make the others rage

#

thats W

slow saddle
#

Feels like a weird group of folks you’re chatting with that even cares for that stuff

#

Weird ass ragebaiting

runic hill
#

tbh i got flamed in 9/10 pug lobbies for my CP

#

had to show them

#

saw one of them who called me "zDPS censored rat" recently he didnt even get CC FeelsDumbMan

slow saddle
runic hill
#

and in that lobby he was doing 60m less than me on average every pull

#

might be petty but had to let him know

nova summit
#

i wish tfm isnt getting removed

slow saddle
#

Damn what a gigachamp

#

So cool

nova summit
#

no time for me to get 1740 before tfm end

runic hill
#

are you not 1730 yet?

nova summit
#

1713

#

lol

runic hill
#

rip

viscid sand
#

classic time to focus on other things

nova summit
#

drugs or smth

#

😭

runic hill
#

i'd always prefer to get TFM as scaled content but that will stay a dream

viscid sand
#

you do you, boo

slow saddle
#

Usually what hell content is for

nova summit
#

deleting hell is bitch move

#

imo

slow saddle
#

There has to be at least one content available where gear chasing becomes applicable

runic hill
#

i just dont feel TFM when it phases faster than week 1 HM feels so bad

#

rotating extreme mode i guess

cyan fog
#

we're literally months in, it cant keep the same difficulty level

nova summit
#

wanted my hell vykas title

slow saddle
runic hill
#

catastrophe mode from china would be something for main chasers

slow saddle
#

It clearly wasn’t that popular compared to the grand scheme of the game, so it’s a bit understandable

#

Can’t even make time for hell with actually playing LA normally

runic hill
#

i think main reason hell mode was unpopular was that most builds didnt even work anymore as well as kinda large battle item cost if you grind it

slow saddle
slow saddle
#

It’s obvious they’d factor all the reasons why folks aren’t doing hell

#

With the approach of looking at the game holistically

#

The typical player is doing dailies and weekly raiding for actual rewards

runic hill
#

i think if they kept updating hell to be scaled to current builds it would have seen much more play

cyan fog
#

when hell was a kind-of relevant thing we were a lot more down bad with some classes

viscid sand
runic hill
#

nobody likes to play a nerfed main with a build thats only semifunctional

slow saddle
#

That’s me with TTH forever until they reworked it and it became meta in hell

#

By then, lost interest and IRL priorities

#

The actual amount of time to have a useable class in hell to when it got taken down, was short

surreal gyro
#

didnt they say they weill rework hell mode and then bring it back?

slow saddle
#

Ya

#

They already showed things like new titles and so on

runic hill
#

i hope kazeros extreme will actually be extreme and not like thaemine

slow saddle
#

Think even kayangal was on there

surreal gyro
#

yeah so i think we should just wait, better have the system improved than keeping it as is

slow saddle
#

Yup

surreal gyro
#

they said the same for pvp

#

and they also said we will have a large map expansion in the summer

#

doubt these will come out anytime soon anyway

#

xd

cyan fog
#

ivory tower hell when

slow saddle
#

Just making a point that this whole idea behind equalized content isn’t really that popular in an MMO that’s based around progression

If it gave actual rewards, then maybe

surreal gyro
#

i think it depends on which progression stage the equalized gear takes effect

runic hill
surreal gyro
#

and they also keep adding progression systems that effect class gameplay so

#

its very hard to balance

slow saddle
#

Yup

runic hill
#

if your char played exactly as it does now but only does 400m DPS (for the example for kazeros TFM) it still would be fine

surreal gyro
#

yehh

slow saddle
#

Which again, no one is gonna play content if they aren’t enjoying their fundamentals of the class

surreal gyro
#

yeah idk SG keeps doing this mistake they make something new, but they have to go back and fix a ton of things to make it work

viscid sand
#

tfw i couldnt really play evo scouter in hell because i needed one more spell to cycle my meter 😔

surreal gyro
#

they keep doing this all the time

slow saddle
#

And I’m sure by now, most people don’t want to go back to their baseline class without ark grid for example

surreal gyro
#

yup exactly

slow saddle
#

For some, not much changes but there’s a handful where things have already changed

burnt tree
#

wahoo world boss ticket

runic hill
#

only class i'd enjoy that on would be sorc i guess

#

cause i really liked reflux before ark grid but the base build didnt get support

surreal gyro
#

i aint going back to no triple doomdsday

#

ah reflux

burnt tree
runic hill
#

i swapped to ignite because triple DD feels so good and i dislike reflux ark grid

surreal gyro
#

yeah

#

ark grid ignite is so good now

#

a bit annoying in homework raids if you dont have your meter up on time

runic hill
#

i just wish there was an ark grid that supported DD as the only cast with full instants outside of that

cyan fog
burnt tree
runic hill
#

but im happy with igniter now so no need to overly complain

cyan fog
#

deserved but definitely not needed kekW

#

i didnt see a single relic this week on 8 chars tbh

#

2 ancients tho wahoo

runic hill
#

also igniter is basically a 1 gem class cant complain as someone who cant afford gems about that either KEKW

cyan fog
#

Someone dropped 40m on 10s yday in general

#

Gray name too mokokoSus

burnt tree
runic hill
#

someone surely is happy that AGS rarely bans RMTers

surreal gyro
#

with the state of AGS right now

#

the last of my concerns is them banning RMT

#

after the latest roadmap video its very clear

runic hill
#

that thing is long gone, if they ban all RMTers now we have 500 players LUL

surreal gyro
#

we need SG to take the game ASAP

cyan fog
#

We need matt to get some sleep

#

Poor fella

surreal gyro
#

this last roadmap video was so weird

#

they basically said nothing

slow saddle
#

Hopefully SG gets to smiting

surreal gyro
#

they also deleted the mention for server merges in May

#

i think they wont go through with this

#

they will leave it as is

slow saddle
#

Might be delayed or basically on SG’s plate

runic hill
#

i would be happy if they didnt merge, but i also think they will still merge as may is that empty

cyan fog
#

Merge elpon get me out

surreal gyro
#

May is next month this should have been announced already

#

i just think they will ignore it

slow saddle
#

I want a new guild so I wanted a merge lmao

surreal gyro
#

its just sad because i think more players will quit now

runic hill
#

tbf the only reasonable needed merge in EU is ortuus and that could just go into arcturus i guess

potent dagger
cyan fog
#

If they haven't decided what's going where there would be no real point in mentioning merges

runic hill
#

they probably fired the guy responsible for server merges and now they dont know what to do

cyan fog
#

There's no negative effect either really so

#

Just merge them all

surreal gyro
#

i just dont think they have the staff to do the merge

#

xd

cyan fog
#

A 10k pop server surely can't be hard to run kekw

#

Maybe they don't want the list to be too small cus then people will doom even more

runic hill
#

considering ppl have random high ping and random dcs already id focus on that first xd

cyan fog
#

Never had any of that kekw

swift tree
runic hill
#

not sure how it is on other regions but every few raids it hits someone with a ping spike or dc and sometimes its also multiple ppl

surreal gyro
#

never Dced as well , but ive seen a lot of people getting random DCs when i pug

swift tree
surreal gyro
#

ye hahah

slow saddle
#

It’s mostly SA players and west coast that has those issues here for us on NAE

runic hill
#

if it was always only 1 person it'd be harder to defend the servers/AGS on that but since it also sometimes happens to 2 or 3 ppl at the exact same time its hard to believe that it isnt related to the game or servers specifically

nova summit
#

if you “dc” for just a milisecond it dcs you with eac error

runic hill
#

ye EAC being ass is a well known issue for many games

nova summit
#

when i had bad isp that wasnt even noticable in csgo/valorant/anything

swift tree
#

EAC is an issue for the client just randomly disconnecting.
-there are also stability issues for servers, specifically the parts that host major hub cities as they like to just brick now and again

runic hill
#

but even then it shouldnt hit 2 or 3 players at the same time and that has happened before (even if rare)

nova summit
#

my la dcd every 15 min lol

slow saddle
swift tree
#

It's happened on both Balthorr and Luterra on NAE

swift magnet
#

interesting what ppl buy

nova summit
#

depends on isp kinda

runic hill
#

ye but in my personal case i havent DCd in any game outside of LA aside from full outages (which happened like 3 times total since i moved here 4 years ago)

nova summit
#

somewhere i dc every 5min somewhere (my current isp at home) i dont dc

slow saddle
#

Definitely has to do with something related to the servers and the hops/connection points along the way for various ISP and areas

nova summit
#

eac is so bad in other games itd be just like 1% packet loss but eac dcs you

#

xd

runic hill
#

EAC also causes a lot of FPS issues

swift tree
# nova summit depends on isp kinda

It's an and/or/both kind of situation.
If your ISP isn't set to an aggressive DHCP your client won't try to re-establish if your outgoing IP changes
(and EAC + UE3 isn't good with that kind of IP fuckery).

It also can just drop connection at some points which was common with multiplayer dedicated servers from that era of gaming.

#

The first issue also happens with ESO fwiw

slow saddle
#

LA also never built in any type of proper reconnection solution in place

runic hill
#

also the fact that DCd just means "no loot entry gone" is stupid af only cause of infinite akkan G3 NM bus

#

that thing is long gone but the issue remains

swift tree
nova summit
#

doing that cuz ppl infinitebus is crazy

#

wasnt even a big issue

runic hill
#

instead they could have just given loot to infinite bussers and count it as cleared for them

swift magnet
#

this one is smt lmao

swift tree
runic hill
#

like there was a better solution right there that also fixes last second DC issues

swift tree
#

Funny as collective punishment is a war crime (or consumer protection violation) in any other context

runic hill
#

nah rather fk the entire community over tahts better

wind dagger
potent dagger
#

Sg/aga could’ve just perma banned bussing

nova summit
#

still dont ban rmt

#

really

cyan fog
#

I mean

potent dagger
#

But then henry self banned

nova summit
cyan fog
#

The fact that if one guy disconnects your entire raid is fucked

swift tree
nova summit
#

wdym self banned

cyan fog
#

Is disgusting behaviour

surreal gyro
#

to ban stuff like that they need to change the whole games design including how the marketplace works

#

how can u ban bussing when people can still do it on discord for example

#

ull have to change player trading etc

potent dagger
nova summit
#

xd

potent dagger
#

Was echidna or so?

nova summit
#

bussing isnt bannable

cyan fog
#

Bussing is in no way anywhere near the top of this games issues

runic hill
#

bussing also wouldnt be as big if there was a total loot pool for gold and it would be distributed between all players and allow entry (without scaling the raid) at any size

potent dagger
#

Perma bann everyone who rmt once or bussed once ArtistNoted

runic hill
#

with how much time SG spends at making sure ppl barely have enough stuff to progress they surely could figure out how to balance that as well

surreal gyro
#

tbh all new raids are super easy

#

people who want to buss will buss

#

u cant do anything about it

nova summit
#

wdy mean

#

only advertising bannable no?

potent dagger
surreal gyro
#

yeah only advertisement is bannable

potent dagger
wind dagger
#

It's surprising how Korean game companies stick to the same principle they started with without changing anything no matter what happens (I can be very wrong about this)

potent dagger
#

Look Saturn

#

-10m gold

#

Positiv next day

runic hill
#

saturn even RMTd on stream and didnt get banned for it

wind dagger
#

I remember the Baker special sound

surreal gyro
#

Because to change they will have to restrict aspects of the game. And in general the community is against that. a lot of "rice eaters" make profit off how the game is currently designed

sand marsh

Yep

cyan fog

It is

Although it's taken a massive hit since the Iran trouble started

Lol

wind dagger
nova summit
#

tbh bussing in some game can be good idea to make money lol

#

my friend was doing that at release

potent dagger
nova summit
#

better pay than working in his country he said

runic hill
#

it always depends on the value you get out vs the hassle it is, i did 6 ppl dungeons as 2 a ton in aion just to hyperfarm, never looking for ppl even if it was slightly lower value and just speedrun farming duo was so good

sand marsh
#

The core structure of wow isnt even raiding, well not as much, and people still pay for it

#

Some people wanna play idle

#

And pay for it

#

Doesn't matter what you do

cyan fog
loud vortex
#

I saw bots in raid today

#

crazy

cyan fog
#

It just comes down to time is money

sand marsh
#

No what you saw were very bad players

#

Or someone who bought an account

#

Or a multiboxer

cyan fog
#

If I have money and cba time why not buy boost for clout

runic hill
#

a lot of ppl straightup sold their accs

#

i saw ppl who were far worse than someone buying a title

cyan fog
#

Some of these idle mobile games and shit literally just target rich peoples kids

ionic geyser

like literal endgame ppl with titles doing 30-30-10 sup uptimes (as sup main)

People need instant dopamine

It's kinda why raiding is not as popular anymore

with act 4 title

The dopamine takes forever to kick in

cyan fog
#

Nah there was legit a bot in my echidna lobby 2 months ago

slow saddle
#

No more long grinding and achieving things over time, it’s all instant gratification

sand marsh
#

After hours or even days of progging does it kick in

cyan fog
#

Like 100% b o t

sand marsh
runic hill
#

tbh i get my instant dopamine from parsing a run im happy with performance wise

sand marsh
#

Unfortunate

swift tree
runic hill
#

i dont see what ppl get from RMTing their 1 button dmg number, a lot of ppl have the money to RMT, not a lot of ppl have the hands (and brain) to play well

cyan fog
#

Don't need to play well if I have r1 title

slow saddle
#

Pretty much

cyan fog
#

Don't need to play at all, just flex on brokies

sand marsh
slow saddle
#

But it also goes in the opposite direction too

Too many brokies pride themselves on being good so they hold anyone with gear at the highest standards

#

Like you’re not expected to be the #1 player

runic hill
#

50 is the average for a reason

burnt tree
slow saddle
#

Or have this “but if I had that gear or account” mentality

oh oh! no, Diablo Immortal

all PvE raid focused MMOs are the same lobby simulators

so lame

sand marsh

gatekeeping simulator

slow saddle
#

I personally just like the RP aspects that exist outside of progression and raiding, but obv still want things to do

#

Idm wasting time on character customization, outfits, screenshots, SH stuff

burnt tree
#

yeah

slow saddle
#

Or questing to have more of that RP vibe

I just want more mokoko seeds

Got gatekept yesterday in nm kaz

sand marsh
#

20mins for a +10 wtf

loud vortex
runic hill
#

thats why i personally like progression in timeframes, you get everything except minmaxing done fast (lets say half the time until next release) then u can have fun and only minmax as much as you want

sand marsh
#

Are u playing evoker healer or some shit. Nothing no one ever wants

#

Never waited that long personally

I play warlock something everyone hates

Maybe its coz I play healer but never had to wait that long

like ok the new heroes realm u can get jailed

Dps life is shambles

but its still ez to clear

Because I’m used to traditional MMOs

sand marsh
#

If your io is 3k+ it should be fine though...

surreal gyro
#

WWM is still not an MMORPG though

#

:/

sand marsh
#

I'd understand if your trying to slam +15 or more

burnt tree
#

i just dont like being dragged into some petty damage competition

sand marsh
#

People get very picky

slow saddle
#

You spend years working on things vs LA where it’s a few months before content is stale

burnt tree
#

only some weirdos go around saying its an MMO

surreal gyro

i dont think it's "Dead"

There's no flavor with raids so people get bored very quickly in LA. It's to be expected

Bunch of zoomers want progression to finish after 1 month so they can move onto idk what next

runic hill
#

i really enjoyed progression in aion before 6.x it was very easy to get reasonable gear rather fast and you only needed a lot of effort to minmax which is fine

surreal gyro
#

it's just that only Asian developers make MMORPGS currently and the west hates their philosophy

runic hill

#

All I know is when things get boring again, I’m retiring back to RuneScape

runic hill
#

i think if LA focused on what its best at (class and raid design) it would do very well in the west

cyan fog
#

No honey I don't want to do mordum anymore

sand marsh
cyan fog
#

Please don't make me

burnt tree
#

Mordumb has overstayed its welcome more than any other raid, the worse raid of the week

sand marsh
#

Anyone can see that from a mile away

burnt tree
#

we play the most rewarding version of the game and we play more than the regions who earn less

surreal gyro
slow saddle
#

Let me enjoy my main and diversify all my raiding content

cyan fog
#

Hype on launch was well deserved

slow saddle
#

I want to play alts out of fun, not out of progression

runic hill
#

i personally enjoy doing the same raid with different classes a lot because every class has different issues to overcome in the same raid which is kinda fun to learn

surreal gyro
#

It backfired

sand marsh
#

If raids were on a weekly rotation it would be way more fun

#

But that destroys smilegates profit motive

cyan fog
#

Just people thought for some reason bcus it's AGS it will be EU mindset friendly

surreal gyro
#

because all these players made an initial impression and now theyre gone, u cant get them back

runic hill
#

LA really lacks "main" content and thats a thing china solved pretty well

slow saddle
cyan fog
#

Forgetting it's a Korean p2w mmo

slow saddle
#

I been saying how I’d love a rotating extreme raid or strike raid on the schedule

#

Either as a bonus raid or a replacement to an existing one of your choice

sand marsh
#

It's 2026 the technology for that isnt out in Korea yet

#

Not until 2035

slow saddle
#

Shit u right

runic hill
#

ye rotating extreme modes is something i have been hearing everywhere for a long time and i share that

burnt tree
#

its ok AION 2 soon i can just go back to pvping my soul out

cyan fog
#

Don't even need extreme

surreal gyro
#

Yes im also going to play Aion2

slow saddle
#

We just got the tech remind us when certain items expire in game

cyan fog
#

Just let me replace my worst gold raid with a rotating x y z

slow saddle
cyan fog
#

I'd love to go clown again

runic hill
#

Aion2 surely will be adjusted properly for the west to not be a disaster COPIUM

slow saddle
#

See I wouldn’t even mind if it was any other pve style content too, it doesn’t ‘need’ to be a raid either

surreal gyro
#

it wont

burnt tree
#

it wont be, its NCsoft

surreal gyro
#

but LoA is dead in the west

#

we are on a ticking timebomb right now

sand marsh

KR still malding they nerfed the whales

That would be so sick lol

Auto correct

LOL

loud vortex

That makes sense tho

burnt tree
#

we get 1730 Sonavel be happy

sand marsh
#

Just an infinite scaling abysmal dungeon with higher rewards the higher you push

cyan fog
#

1730 argeos

slow saddle
#

Every game has potential, I just see it everywhere how either things don’t happen or it does happen but gets poorly implemented

cyan fog
burnt tree
surreal gyro
#

I dont blame just SG for lost ark's situation , its the KR playerbase as well

slow saddle
#

I leave it up to Koreans to fuck something up on release then “rework” it later

loud vortex
surreal gyro
#

they tried multiple times to change or add different stuff

cyan fog
surreal gyro
#

KR didnt like them

cyan fog
#

Kill me

loud vortex
#

everyone hates scorp

burnt tree
runic hill
#

most progression related games get turned into basically cashgrabs with gameplay instead of building a healthy game that makes a ton of money from skins

slow saddle
loud vortex
burnt tree
#

scorp was changed the least from the guardian changes, its still ah

surreal gyro
#

yes thats why SG is playing it safe

#

i dont blame them

sand marsh
#

Good strat

loud vortex
burnt tree
#

lmfao

slow saddle
loud vortex
burnt tree
#

lost ark still cant find a middle ground either

slow saddle
#

I’m not tryna sit here to compete with jobless people who can grind on a game for 10+ hours a day

surreal gyro
#

They need to make the game seasonal

#

Add a season with a progression system

burnt tree
surreal gyro
#

Theres no other way

slow saddle
#

You need a balance of many things to please multiple different audiences

sand marsh
burnt tree
slow saddle
#

Oh for sure

sand marsh
#

Times have changed. For better or for worse

cyan fog
#

They don't make the game for us tho

As long as Korea is fine brainrotting and continuing to rice farm till pension the design philosophy of stuff that comes out of there will never change

runic hill
loud vortex
#

Has someone saw that RMT lobby title recently in NA?

slow saddle
#

Issue is times have changed

burnt tree
#

the game has no variety, even if the raids are different aChaewonBop

runic hill
#

you still have to do stuff to get your gear just not unreasonable amount

surreal gyro
#

To be honest guys, the game is miles better in KR because it has the population to be played both seasonally and it's fun in all progression brackets because u have players everywhere

loud vortex
#

''buying endgame account for 8k bucks'' or something

surreal gyro
#

these issues are worse here because u just dont have the players

loud vortex
surreal gyro
#

to play the game at your own pace

slow saddle
runic hill
#

also these pityless giga RNG sinks dont work well with the west (and 6 char mentality which is far more common here than KR)

slow saddle
#

Nothing is out of reach nor required to have

cyan fog
burnt tree
slow saddle
#

Everyone gets to engage with current systems and progress fairly normally

surreal gyro
#

our vertsion is better structure wise

#

but way worse in terms of population

cyan fog
#

Lost ark can for sure already be played as a seasonal game btw

surreal gyro
#

and thats what's hurting the game now

burnt tree
#

yeap

pallid tundra
#

How hard is Serka gonna be? thinkingriver Can I just easily pug Nightmare mode?

surreal gyro
#

i dont think the game overall is in a bad state, its been way better than what it was 2 years ago

cyan fog
#

U just need to have shit already set up

#

Otherwise cya

swift tree
cyan fog
#

Enjoy farming normal armoche for the next 3 months

burnt tree
#

considering the changes to mats and 2 endgame raids/year u can play it seasonally now kinda

#

the next abyssal dungeon is a filler anyway

surreal gyro
#

thats a trap

#

cause we dont know the next raid

#

if u need full ancient cores

#

etc

#

xd

cyan fog
#

Imagine

sand marsh
burnt tree
#

i dont think they will balance anything around ANCIENT cores

#

least not before the system is nerfed

slow saddle
#

Yeah doubt it as well

burnt tree
#

serca nm doesnt even need ark grid

cyan fog
swift tree
slow saddle
#

Prob a year out before something like that but it’s also a system where ancients vs relics aren’t going to be game changing

burnt tree
#

they wont jump to the next shadow raid expecting u to have ancient cores

surreal gyro
#

Yes they wont but the people who farmed the filler raid will be miles ahead in terms of ark grid progression

burnt tree
#

i can imagine raids being tuned for relic core

#

but ancient is overblown xD

slow saddle
#

They do make changes for the west and people still bitching

sand marsh
swift tree
#

and can be entered at 1700

sand marsh
#

Much easier tho true

swift tree
burnt tree
#

NM giving armor mats so u can switch right away once u hit 1730 is great ngl

slow saddle
#

Yup

surreal gyro
#

it is, but u cant be like ok i will stop playing for 3 months and come back for the next shadow raid

#

that's my point

slow saddle
#

But that’s normal no?

cyan fog
#

My poor sub rogue

burnt tree
#

tho it takes 3 weeks to get full ancient on HM so its not bad either

surreal gyro
#

cause while the new raid is easy, u have to hone the new gear from secra

loud vortex
#

Which one is more difficult?

cyan fog
#

They killed it dead

loud vortex
#

nmm serca or tfm kaz

swift tree
slow saddle
#

There has to be some level of ‘playing the game’ or you have to accept being behind

wintry depot

sand marsh
surreal gyro

yeah

slow saddle
#

You can’t just sit around and do nothing, then expect to be ready for a new raid release

wintry depot
#

Noppee

surreal gyro
#

Yeah makes sense

slow saddle
#

Unless you’re ahead of the curve

burnt tree

this isnt the kind of game u can take a lengthy break on god

swift tree
sand marsh
#

Yeah i took a month break now my roster is shit

#

Once you take a long break u basically never come back.

burnt tree
#

no it isnt shut

slow saddle
#

At most you can take maybe a 1 month (possibly 2) but it’s designed to have some regular upkeep and they do in fact minimize things like how dailies work

burnt tree
#

bro humble bragging as if we cant see his roster

slow saddle
burnt tree
sand marsh
#

And my main isnt even finished

slow saddle

Like borderline nightmare now basically

sand marsh

surreal gyro
#

i took a 1 month break during strike raid and i still regret it

swift tree
slow saddle
#

Missing out on strike raids is a big slap to the face LOL

#

That shit was both fun and rewarding

surreal gyro
#

yeah my static disbanded and i was really annoyed lost motivation

swift tree
sand marsh
surreal gyro
#

cause we had agreed to push all alts to 1720 and i spend all of my gold pushing alts only for them to disband once the raid came out, got super mad

Relic is "done" and Ancient is Whale++

Well my side lines are strong actually

Cutting astrogems is where everyone will end up

The only way to increase my CP is ancient core or ilvl

It's 5.4k on at 1748

Imma just have to sit at 5.4k. There's no realistic way to increase it before nightmare

Stone can def be upgraded if was doing paradise each week but still rng

ive gotten like 10 7/8s

cyan fog

Can swing in either direction

sand marsh

When AI came out I went thru like 500 stones

#

Before I took a breal

#

Break*

#

I actually spent my pheons

wise pasture
#

KEKW I cutted over 2k on first day

sand marsh
#

Very painfful

#

Well after 500 I got pissed

wise pasture
#

got fuck all, then did my sorc for new stone got 9 7 in 5tries KEKW in fact 4th one was it

sand marsh
#

And that's around when I took a break

surreal gyro
#

yeah and super expensive to get minimal CP

sand marsh
#

Yeah. Aside from ilvl for me it's ancient core, 9/7 or a 30% bracelet lol

loud vortex
#

I don't trust stones anymore

#

After 400 stones without even a 9/6

surreal gyro
#

im not going to spend my sanity or my gold for a week 1 clear, when we have a soft reset

#

its just fomo at this point

#

cause i can make way more use of my resources after i gear transfer and get way more CP

#

clearing NM secra week 1

#

(nightmare)

cyan fog
#

But yes it's a dice roll 100%

surreal gyro
#

im at 4.6k

loud vortex
#

I only have 4.9K

surreal gyro
#

shows less CP here idk why lol

loud vortex
#

I can go to 5K

#

but must take Grudge

#

which means I'll be very easy to deadge

surreal gyro
#

all we need is a good support

#

xddd

slow saddle
#

I was going to skip nightmares on my alts but I prob won’t depending on how prog goes

Maybe HM angle for 2-3 weeks then nightmare when comfortable

sharp rock
#

so if you have a bad supp 5k , if you have a good supp 4k KEKL

#

with 4.5 ur save doesnt matter the supp

loud vortex

But most of the lfg posts want 5k+

wise pasture

I heard that nightmare make sense just for title/mount cuz no dif in gear mats from hm.

yes

KEKW I dont bother with that channel

nova summit
#

one has high base stat and 3rd line is low atk power+

#

but its additional instead of outgoing high

slow saddle
#

Doesn’t really matter

#

It’s too relatively close that someone at your gear stage should go with what’s cheaper

#

The chart above should answer all your questions

#

Main stat also doesn’t matter too much

#

Common flat stats are just a bonus

nova summit
#

okayyy thx

slow saddle
#

Save 20k gold and use it elsewhere

nova summit
#

i got 850k rn

slow saddle
#

Also doesn’t solo shop give single cut highs?

nova summit
#

but i want to setup my char for future raids now

slow saddle
#

Well yeah but

nova summit
#

so wanting the best before 600k+ accs

slow saddle
#

Most people aren’t checking that much

nova summit
#

cuz im never gonna pay that

slow saddle
#

So you rather just run the cheap single cut highs

#

And spend the rest of the money elsewhere on things that will give more damage

#

Like ark grid

nova summit
#

i see then

#

thx

#

ill wait with accs more

slow saddle
#

If it’s your main, you can wait and save way down the road for high-mids

nova summit
#

for alts ill just buy solo shops once they get to 1700

#

then ill save and yeah

#

got enought cp for raids im doing rn anyways

#

ill go do all my astrogems maybe i can enable the other 2 cores i got on legendary to be 14p

would be nice

Skill issue

swift tree
#

Class issue

uncut dirge
#

use skill
pushes you into boss
start charging quake smash
boss steps forward during attack/gets unstaggered
now i'm behind boss and my channeled skill is going to hit behind him instead of boss

#

and this just constantly happens because bosses have these stupid steps forward

swift tree
uncut dirge
#

it wouldn't feel so bad if half the attacks didn't push you forward into the boss

#

then i could at least prepare by staying further away from the boss

#

and the worst is when bosses get staggered/unstaggered or do some weird animation thing that momentarily removes them as a movement blocker
