tulip charm
#

even if i am knocked down by the front slash, i always saved a getup

sand marsh
#

wtf aree u tawkin about

#

purplem spikes?

tulip charm
#

everybody got killed by cross at least once, i didn't die to it a single time

tulip charm
dull obsidian
#

those are lightning bolts

#

..

sand marsh
#

yes lol

tulip charm
#

there is purple spikes around him when his doing that move

#

i got 1shotted by the purple spikes in the first hour, ive never had to dodge that in my life

sand marsh
#

no there isnt huh

tulip charm
#

wht ishy said

sand marsh
#

u mean the co-op counter where u move to the side?

dull obsidian
#

hes talking about the lightnbing bolts on the timed counter

sand marsh
#

nados

tulip charm
#

purple lightning bolts whatever you wanna call it

#

it just spawns around him, those things tickle and do 0 dmg

#

then i just randomly died in tfm lol

sand marsh
#

OH

#

the blue lightning

#

yea that shit hurtsd

#

i dont think its purple bro

#

if it is then my memory is wrong

#

but yeah that tiny lightning, without DR, ur ded

dull obsidian
#

just be tanky

#

idk

sand marsh
#

even GLs can die to it without shield lol

tulip charm
sand marsh
#

it hurts a lot

dull obsidian
#

we have bard

sand marsh
dull obsidian
#

we just naturally are tanky with bards

tulip charm
#

when i died progging there, i was like wtf did i sign up for

dull obsidian
#

boss is -40% ap

slow saddle
#

your supports need to shield/DR for that

dull obsidian
#

and we are perma 30% dr / 20% hp shield

slow saddle
#

it chunks like a fuckton

#

i cannot go for those counters on gs

#

the chip damage hurts too much

dull obsidian
#

I never have counter up for it

tulip charm
#

our group was also kinda underpowered

dull obsidian
#

I'm still waiting on core essence so I can swap to fatal wave

#

so I have perma counteru p

#

lol

tulip charm
#

2 or 3 of us including me had to run shield piercing engraving

dull obsidian
#

did you ever make it to g2

tulip charm
#

but we could never make it to 500bars with everybody alive, so there was no point even using shield piercing it felt like

dull obsidian
#

idk that sounds like skill issue

vagrant cradle
tulip charm
dull obsidian
#

in g1

#

I died to the oneshot once

#

I think I died to prokel overlap once

tulip charm
#

also, there is sometimes complete bullshit overlap in prokel clone stagger

#

i died to the most bullshit move, i was going inside the ring explosion, he offscreen lasered beamed me and 1shot me

#

there is windup in hm with the laser, it felt like in tfm he just does it instantly, if your not constantly straffing he just 1hits you

dull obsidian
#

he did the 1 shot as I was running the to a far side circle safe spot

tulip charm
#

i don't expect today's prog to go anywhere, but just get some pulls for a few hours for reps

#

most likely gonna try again in 2 weeks with circa gear

dull obsidian
#

the first time we made it past 500x

#

we cleared

#

then we did like 2 good pulls and 3 wtf pulls in g2

#

in like 30-40 mins

tulip charm
#

idk if this is true or not, some people say g1 is easier than g2

slow saddle
#

getting past x500 and to it with everyone alive is the first like

#

major check

#

sorry

#

second major check

dull obsidian
#

getting past prokel is the first check lmao

sand marsh
slow saddle
#

first major milestone is prokel/x700

#

second major milestone is x500

dull obsidian
#

there is no third

#

gg..

slow saddle
#

after that, its usually a smooth clear

#

post basement isnt much of a worry unless someone misses just guards

dull obsidian
#

I feel like g2 is not hard if you actually play slow

tulip charm
#

you guys are prob so juiced you skipped 5x jg or something

slow saddle
#

i would say g2 was a lot easier than g1

tulip charm
#

i think we are gonna see that for sure

dull obsidian
#

the dps check pretty much doesn't exist

#

post ark grid

#

we just do too much dmg

sand marsh
#

what gatekeeps people from clearing TFM is nados in g2. and people who think its rng just smash there face against the wall

dull obsidian
#

for a dps check to even be a problem

tulip charm
#

and i read from the guide if anyone fails even 1 of the 5x jg, he gains infinite shields and the raid is bricked

slow saddle
#

g2 is just understanding patterns, going for counters, and not burning your stand-up unnecessarily

dull obsidian
#

wait wtf is nados

sand marsh
#

x2

slow saddle
#

the real killer in g2 is the nados

tulip charm
dull obsidian
#

OH

#

ye

sand marsh
#

yeah

slow saddle
#

the star pattern that sends you up

sand marsh
#

i came across many groups who think its rng,

dull obsidian
#

first and second is always safe

sand marsh
#

they stil havent cleared

slow saddle
#

there is a correct way to do it consistently without issue

dull obsidian
#

if you can react to it

sand marsh
#

refused to listen to me

dull obsidian
#

I heard top left

#

is also safe

#

idk about that

slow saddle
#

but people dont listen at all and they end up ruining it for others

tulip charm
slow saddle
#

either direction is safe

tulip charm
#

and i haven't even seen g2 yet

#

RAAAAh

sand marsh
dull obsidian
#

idk

slow saddle
#

you just need to WALK

#

and not rush ahead

dull obsidian
#

We just walked/dashed to first or second one that appeared

slow saddle
#

even if you end up in a bad situation, you should spacebar outside and wait till the red telegraph shows to hyper (thats like backup solution if u miss a puddle/panic)

sand marsh
dull obsidian
#

TS + HA in pure clear lobbies gg

sand marsh
#

oh also, ur run can be gimped in 2-2 if this happens:

slow saddle
#

also to clarify in the image above, the reason you walk is because, the blue puddles that send you up has some targetting to it

You can murder other people inthe process by even 1 person moving too fast

#

so just pick a side

#

and just move to the first puddle

sand marsh
#

angry birds on wall has killed so many people

dull obsidian
#

b-but

sand marsh
#

its probably

#

worse than ndos

#

nados

#

gotta pre position boss

dull obsidian
#

I need to do dmg with my HA...

#

I actually saw someone type that

supple surge
dull obsidian
#

boss in TFM is still dead at long stagger

#

you're just dancing to desert phase

sand marsh
#

ya

slow saddle
#

angry birds also has set positions but even in situations where boss is not positioned, the safest thing to do is pick a circle thats next to multiple other safespots

sand marsh
#

theres no skip for 2-1

slow saddle
#

this way, u can spacebar to the non-red safespot for angry birds

#

its very easy to adjust

sand marsh
#

yea the only issue with angry birds on wall is if you click incorrectly, you just die

#

like if u drag ur cursor over ur char

#

ur dead

dull obsidian
#

just play support and run crisis

#

too easy

sand marsh
#

if u click the wall ur also ded

#

haha

#

honestly thesse days everyone can run crisis and get a free clear

#

as long as u pass nados

dull obsidian
#

we watched a speedrun supp fuck it up

#

and just live because of crisis

sand marsh
#

yeah

#

and u can DR angry birds as well

#

but u need more than just DR

dull obsidian
#

awa dr

#

pog

slow saddle
#

timestop that joint

dull obsidian
#

btw does the boss in HM

#

always look down when he does angry birds now

#

lmao

#

I swear its never some random angle anymore

sand marsh
#

uhhh im not sure

slow saddle
#

im unsure

#

i dont see angry birds in HM

dull obsidian
#

We saw it because we run with a progger + giga shitter pugs

#

nothing we can do about it

slow saddle
#

somehow pugs are pulling their weight

dull obsidian
#

that gl still tilts me to this day

#

Illiterate fuck

slow saddle
#

btw i found out more info about that GL from our TFM clear

#

that was supposed to help our speedrun

#

failed grabbing a clash

#

and actually failed a clash

dull obsidian
#

oh

#

that was your group?

#

the stage break clash?

#

..

slow saddle
#

keep in mind, this guy is toxic and gatekeep the sht out of people

#

naw, someone else

#

unless we ironically were in the same run?

#

idr being in VC with u

dull obsidian
#

did you wipe at the stage break clash in 2-1?

slow saddle
#

but i also dont know everyone in the run

#

yeah but this was a TFM speedrun on last saturday

dull obsidian
#

And it was the gl

#

yeh it went everywhere

#

I think someone was streaming

slow saddle
#

HUH STREAMING

#

wait

#

do u remember their name?

dull obsidian
#

no

slow saddle
#

did it start with a V

#

or was it a stream and u saw me in it

dull obsidian
#

no clue I've forgotton a lot of it

#

lmao

slow saddle
#

oh well

#

anyways

#

i fucking hate this GL

#

i defriended them completely

#

just a terrible person but 'friend of friend' situation

#

apparently

#

their cat they had for like 17 years

#

died that same day

#

mind u, this guy is like 40 something years old

#

so i legit told the others

#

he's too god damn old to not communicate shit to us

#

like

#

if you got problems to deal with

#

WHY SHOW UP TO A SPEEDRUN

#

just say u cant make it or have an emergency

#

dont waste evryone elses time because your head isnt in the right place

#

fucking childish behavior

fathom cloak

tulip charm
dull obsidian
#

not on my main

#

slow saddle
#

only got a chance to bid on like

#

2 of those since release on alts

tulip charm

queen grail
dull obsidian

queen grail

queen grail

dull obsidian
#

#

I Didn't even want it

vagrant cradle
#

i wish those went for that cheap

#

every time they've shown up they've always been above 200k

tulip charm
#

all my alts are around 3600>3900, by NA standards thats weak

#

if i can grab a ancient rando box for 100k i am taking it

queen grail
#

I'll pay max 50k for it ellyyxWTFBloo

dull obsidian
#

always the trillionaires that try pay low

vagrant cradle
tulip charm
#

by the time the june sacria priest raid comes out ima aim to have at least 1200 core essense on every single char

#

gonna use it all there in that raid shop

slow saddle
#

me personally, i wouldnt mind putting a solid bid on things

#

its just when people bid up but dont want it

#

just to yoink gold

vagrant cradle
#

i wouldn't have minded if i got it since it was on my valk

#

but someone apparently wanted it even more

queen grail
#

WEIRD This guy.

slow saddle
#

not screencapping in 2026 is criminal

tulip charm
queen grail
#

Says no lucky Looking A week ago he crafted HM

tulip charm
#

phone snapshot is this man's trademark

queen grail
#

SMH No lucky but sold something for over 5 million a few weeks ago

fathom cloak
#

that bozo drops 200k+ shit every other day

queen grail
tulip charm
#

ive never seen 3 embers glowing on the same screen since i started playing the game, you see this every other week HUH

queen grail
#

xdd 3 Ember

#

This guy is hilarious xdd

#

My guy you know I've most likely raided a lot more than you and yet you've gotten 4 sids XDDD you're not average lucky mister zhengy.

tulip charm
#

i know youve raided more, but i don't wanna say ALOT more

#

i basicly got my 400roster from side raiding, basicly just a normal amoche on the lopangs every reset

vagrant cradle
queen grail
#

But ey If you wanna trade 3 Ember's average drops for 4 sid's let me know dead denting

dull obsidian
#

Guys

#

Does my goat PIIMPOLLO

#

still play the game

tulip charm
#

idk what this is gonna be able to get me, i don't wanna look at the calculator, hopefully i get far

#

every alt have this number if not more

queen grail
#

ellyyxWTFBloo Nice, another rat soon!

#

3 more taps COPIUM a few more weeks

lilac frigate
#

hmmm do I want to use the hell key selector on my 1730 or on a 1710...

neon cedar
#

1730 and wait until the 15th so the key gives new mats

queen grail
#

think Am I wrong or was we not told that key's don't change and you get new key's with the patch?

mortal burrow
#

after serca

neon cedar
#

Current keys stay as is.They dont have a key yet

#

They have the selection thingy to get a key

mortal burrow
#

like the season ended at the serca patch i mean

queen grail
neon cedar
#

We do know because they said in the March upcoming memo thing

mortal burrow
#

did they

#

which one

neon cedar
queen grail
lilac frigate
#

I mean this

#

so I technically dont have the key yet

neon cedar
#

Just wait. You lose nothing by being patient

lilac frigate
#

yeah, but I do think it probably ends up as a 1710 key

#

because i dont expect them to add the new key in there

dull obsidian
#

LOL

#

someone is saying saturn is bussing tfm 12x a week

#

bro

#

saturn quit

#

fucking 5 months ago

lilac frigate
#

wait, you can bus the first mode?

nova garden
queen grail
#

44% to get blue Astro.
3 in a row is green, and 7/10 Green dead ok

#

44% my ass COPIUM 2/10 was blue 8/10 Green again wth.

dull obsidian
#

OH MY GOD

#

BRO

#

I'M GOING TO SG HEADQUARTERS

#

We must rid of this game

queen grail
#

ellyyxWTFBloo Ok, calm down ishy

dull obsidian

"THEY DO TFM ON 6-12 CHARACTERS AND EARN SO MUCH RAID GOLD"

#

YOU DUMB FUCK

#

WHERE IS THE RAID GOLD

vagrant cradle
dull obsidian
#

BUSSERS EARN 4M A WEEK

#

WHERE IS THE 4M A WEEK

#

I WOULD BE BUSSING IF I WAS MAKING 4M A WEEK

#

SATURN BUSSES SO MUCH TFM

#

SATURN QUIT IN FUCKING DECEMBER

#

MAN SATURN IS JUST RUINING THE GAME BRO

#

FUCKKKKKKK

#

3-4 MONTHS AGO

#

NOT EVEN BUSSING TFM

#

NOT EVEN BUSSING HM HALF THE TIME

formal frost
#

we larping as reddit?

dull obsidian
#

literally all public info what in the fuck is this community saying

queen grail
#

think I mean, bussing in general make a lot more gold than the general raiding base.

#

I don't know about Saturn tho.

dull obsidian
#

bro

#

even if I bus 18 raids

#

I am not even making 50% of 4m

#

from raw raid gold

#

not even 36 busses makes 4m

#

54 can be argued

#

but are you even counting those people as fucking normal

queen grail
#

COPIUM Maybe not but you'll be making a fuckton more than the rest and that adds up week after week after week let's not pretend that busser's aren't playing easy-mode on economy.

dull obsidian
#

bussing is an extra 200k a week endeavor

sand marsh
#

i mean, you can play on "easy mode" too.

#

smilegate structured the game around gold and made shitty rng systems

#

what do u expect people to do

#

not min max?

queen grail
sand marsh
pine imp
queen grail
#

Then I'm not sure what your "argument" was, bussing is just playing the game on easymode with gold, that's all, If they don't want people to say that to them then, I don't know, don't bus or just ignore it XDDD

sand marsh
sand marsh
#

its like playing ironman mode and flexing about it

#

no one cares

#

people will bus because of the shitty systems smilegate made

#

and how important gold is

pine imp
#

idk there are ppl willing to just help out bussing without payout and funneling

#

wouldn't be surprised that is common

queen grail
#

It's not rocket science my guy.

sand marsh
#

many bussers dont play only 1 class lol

#

its just extra gold

#

if u saw 100 dollars on the ground and no one is around u not picking it up?

pine imp
#

id rather play 20 alt accs b4 bussing

queen grail
sand marsh
#

there is absolutely no challenge in what this conversation is about lol

queen grail
sand marsh
#

instead of blaming bussing, blame the shitty devs who made the game this way

#

every single game with an economy has some form of bussing

pine imp
#

I mean game would be massively different if bussing didn't exist

sand marsh
#

FF14, wow, etc

#

aion had it

#

all of em have it

pine imp
#

bussing is the driving factor for rats existence

sand marsh
#

you not gonna blame the devs who made the game shit? lol

queen grail
#

I wonder COPIUM why COPIUM all COPIUM games COPIUM has COPIUM busser's COPIUM shocking.

pine imp
#

rats can't clear bussing can

slow saddle
#

the concept of carrying people through a raid hasnt been addressed is a general thing

sand marsh
#

its not a hard concept

#

if u dont wanna minmax and be casual thats fine

queen grail
slow saddle
#

like if they addressed whats required to complete/get the rewards for a raid, bussing (or just carrying people), can be fully locked down

sand marsh
#

you think smilegating limiting your gold with this massively rng shitty system is a good thing?

#

everyone always hates on the millionares until they become one themselves

queen grail
sand marsh
#

u dont believe anything ur saying

#

100%

queen grail
#

Don't speak for me, Weirdga

#

Weirdo.

pine imp
#

im as rich as a busser and I still disagree with bussing

slow saddle
#

fuck bussing

sand marsh
#

myb thanos

pine imp
#

I do I can swipe for 500m gold too if i wanted to right now

slow saddle
#

most ppl who bus have the same mentality of doing 'whatever it takes' instead of being ethical as a player

#

not everyone, but most

pine imp
#

whats your pt

sand marsh
pine imp
#

thats something I want to do?

#

you said when you are just as rich as them id view it differently

#

no I don't

sand marsh
#

yeah im sure ur very rich man

queen grail
pine imp
#

u can objectively just see bussing carry rats and rats make the majority of gold inflation

slow saddle
#

i dont believe bussing per say is the 'evil' but it does stem from unethical stances imo

pine imp
#

if rats can't get all this gold they can't inflate anything

robust birch
#

Bussing killed my grandmother

slow saddle
#

you could carry and teach people for free, but instead choose to monetize it and create/support greater issues the game has

sand marsh
pine imp
#

the same way CoA has no ability to even create gold to trade

dusk cape
#

what a stark difference compared to 27k yesterday

sand marsh
#

there's far less people bussing and way more people making alt accounts to farm low tier raids

slow saddle
#

bussing is what enables alt rosters and gold generation to exist in the way it does

#

no matter how we look at it, it comes down to whats leading to gold generation

queen grail
pine imp
#

these alt rosters with no hands or gear can't even clear NM raids the fk

#

guy has never seen actually rat lobbies

sand marsh
#

ive been in plenty of rat lobbies. made an entire video series about it KEKW

slow saddle
#

not saying its exclusively the cause, but it has a heavy hand in allowing for it

sand marsh
#

you understimate alt accounts bud

pine imp
#

no I don't you just don't get bussing is a massive enabler

sand marsh
#

bussing not existing wont change the fact that smilegate will continue to make shitty systems. bussing doesnt change the fact that minmaxing astrogems cost millions upon millions of gold

#

you either bus, or you don't. it is what it is

pine imp
#

ok if it doesn't matter remove bussing

#

idk whats so hard about that

#

so we agree

#

damn was so ez

queen grail
#

Gottem

sand marsh
#

if it doesnt matter, removing or not shouldnt be a conversation

pine imp
#

actually

sand marsh
#

the conversation should be pointing the finger at smilegate

#

instead of thinking bussing is the reason why the game is so bad lmao

pine imp
#

guy says bussing is irrelevant so removing it hurts noone ok then remove it

queen grail
#

Stinky stinky

sand marsh
#

if it hurts no one why is it a topic

#

shit on smilegate, not bussing

lilac frigate
sand marsh
#

fail to see the big picture is actually crazy

pine imp
#

then we all agree to remove bussing thats all there is to it

#

idk seems simple to me

sand marsh
#

continuing to eat the shit that smilegate serves you is honestly an amazing feat

#

and failing to see they are the issue

pine imp
#

wow you live life

#

u eat shit everyday

#

what else is new

slow saddle
#

i agree with shitting on smilegate

pine imp
#

you legit just discussing rando shet in here is u eating shit

#

huh weird

queen grail
slow saddle
#

but i have a personal issue of players just promoting shitty behavior

#

it goes both ways

#

its the same ppl who make excuses of

#

its the devs fault i can exploit

coarse wigeon
#

RMT ez as 123

slow saddle
#

then pikasurprise face when they get smited

pine imp
#

I mean anything that has trading and allow multi accs always leads to inflated econ

#

thats just what it is and it hasn't changed in 50 years

sand marsh
#

u ban bussing tomorrow, people will just go to discord and facilitate that way

#

only way to truly fix the game is to change the entire system of how progression works

sand marsh
#

ive never owned 40mil gold lol

queen grail
sand marsh
slow saddle
#

they could make everything material based only

queen grail
coarse wigeon
#

bussing ppl is peasant money compared to black market sellers and how they earn/funnel gold

slow saddle
#

but they still need some medium to allow for more flexibility for trading

slow saddle
#

even if trading is locked down, a currency generally always exists in ANY game

queen grail

can we just ban these invite spammers

wtf is this

#

<@&938198046896955542>

#

oop

robust birch
#

Wait

#

I wanted that

slow saddle
pine imp
#

raid gold is still the fastest character main gold source on an alt

mortal burrow
#

i..

#

damn i forgot icy replied just a few msgs before

#

oop

slow saddle
#

dont confuse free/locked down trading with piloting

sand marsh
slow saddle
#

BDO had trade locked down since forever, ANY game will always have piloting no matter what

nova garden
slow saddle
#

they're 2 separate things

dusk cape
#

exactly so it will never be fully fair EVER

pine imp
#

none of the content even requires ancient cores

#

or even maxed side nodes

#

wtf

mortal burrow
slow saddle
sand marsh
#

im not taking about ancient cores

nova garden
sand marsh
#

or even min maxed astrogems

mortal burrow
#

or just people in the disc who clicked on links

pine imp
#

none of the raids require lvl 10 gems

mortal burrow
pine imp
#

none of the raids require full engravings either

slow saddle
#

im fine wiht systems taking a while to finish but im also just an old head when it comes to MMOs

#

i also understand people want more instant gratification

sand marsh
#

no raid requires cores or level 7 gems. just dont interact with it?

#

yeah i guess ur right

slow saddle
#

either direction is fine for all i care

pine imp
#

guess what frontier did something right about not needing fking maxed out chars

#

oh no weirdge

slow saddle
#

whether ark grid took 1 year or 1 month, wouldnt matter to me personally

pine imp
#

guys can't read from lvl 10 gems and maxed engravings which is the majority of the insane gold

nova garden
sand marsh
#

your arguement of "dont need it" doesn't mean much. the point of an MMO is to progress

#

making ur character stronger

pine imp
#

guy has never heard of FOMO or whale bait or P2W

sharp rock
#

Eat my ass bro KEKW KEKW KEKW

slow saddle
#

yeah idk much about the 'dont need it' part, its a mixed bag of personalities when it comes to that

pine imp
#

guy prob has never played a gacha game F2P

nova garden
#

I’m F2P in all gacha I play

pine imp
#

oh no but don't u need e6 icy?

#

pROGRESSION

mortal burrow
slow saddle

i don't need what i have but i choose because i enjoy capping out progression

Some folks want it 'now', some dont care about the timeframe

Some just settle

all mixed bag

mortal burrow
#

umamusame

nova garden
#

Nah

mortal burrow
#

or whatever it's called

vagrant cradle
nova garden
#

Game is too galaxy brain for me

pine imp
#

dont u need that weapon and min max STAMINA on subs on gear?!?!?

vagrant cradle
sand marsh
pine imp
#

cos content too hard progression

nova garden
#

I quit loa to play more gacha

fathom cloak
vagrant cradle
#

that's definitely a choice

mortal burrow
#

like elsword, lost ark, dfo

sand marsh
#

i know it is

mortal burrow
#

etc.

nova garden
#

I’ve been F2P in wuwa for like a week now.

pine imp
#

WoW is like the watered down of everything

nova garden
pine imp
#

guy prob never played cabal online dragon nest neverwinter everquest silkroad online lineage etc

sand marsh
#

no why would i play that when those are all shit lol

sharp rock
#

Lineage omg , that game was fire and ass at the same time

slow saddle
#

BDO and RS took months, sometimes years for some upgrades

pine imp
#

truly spoken like an ignorant person

#

games are shit don't know systems

#

plays lost ark

#

wonders why it existed for 30 years

sand marsh
#

there's a reason why simplicity and not catering to hardcore is a recipe for success

pine imp
#

guy legit discovered something that existed for eons

sand marsh
sand marsh
#

i have 15k hours in the game

sharp rock
#

Argating in dekaron was the same like honing in loa. But it took way longer to achieve. Dunno why ppl are so lazy nowadays KEKW

pine imp
#

I mean didn't u say earlier lost ark is like eating shit

#

so u ate 15k hrs of shit?

sand marsh
#

i sure did

#

15k more that i wont tho

#

if the game lasts that long tha tis

pine imp
#

doesn't matter you just gonna go somewhere else and do the same thing

sharp rock
pine imp
#

doesn't even have to be lost ark

sand marsh
#

i dont bus in WoW

pine imp
#

lost ark is just a name

sand marsh
#

because i dont feel the need too

dusk cape
#

miss deadfront

pine imp
#

imagine bussing not existing or piloting account selling existing in wow

#

or lvling services

#

etc

sharp rock
#

Deadfront Best, waiting 20 min with all the groups and have a chat while waiting for peak content, bro I miss those times...Sadge

sand marsh
#

doesn't have a large impact on the game. i play very casually and my main is juiced. you dont need gold to progress in WoW like LA

lilac frigate
#

pretty sure the gold degeneracy is way worse in wow

pine imp
#

I mean you are legit talking about 2 different games

nova garden
#

Well, imma sleep. Have fun with… whatever you all are talking about. And try to keep it civil.

sand marsh
#

yes i am takking about two diff games

pine imp
#

thats like saying League is the same as Dota

#

weird

sand marsh
#

wow could learn from LA and LA could learn from wow

#

just because its two diff games doesnt mean some things cant change and be implemented

lilac frigate
pine imp
#

damn WoW still hasn't learned after 10 years

#

how old is that shit game

#

still didn't perfect it

sand marsh
#

in which case, more power to ya

pine imp
#

oh its 22 years old

#

and its still garbage

sand marsh
vagrant cradle
#

I can't wait for the next system they add to lost ark

pine imp
#

22 YEARS

vagrant cradle
#

it's going to be amazing for sure

sand marsh
#

but after 22 years its still insanely popular

#

crazy

pine imp
#

crazy its just a seasonal game nowadays

#

2 week game

sand marsh
#

you right. lost ark is the best game ever

#

you beat me

#

i go eat now

slow saddle
#

once a week style game

#

u 'can' grind but dont need to

pine imp
#

most games have turned to weird ass seasonal games

slow saddle
#

yeah

pine imp
#

even like once human did that

slow saddle
#

personally i dont mind it cus i dont wanna grind anymore lmao

#

too old for that

#

i just like games with simple dailies/weeklies

#

let me kinda play everything

#

i play LA/OH/WWM/BDO atm

pine imp
#

yea I don't wanna run seasonal nonsense and restart

slow saddle
#

i can cycle all of it in a healthy manner each week

#

the restart part is annoying for sure

#

OH has perma servers btw so its not really a thing

pine imp
#

whats OH?

slow saddle
#

and if u want to play other stuff, the important things carry over

#

once human

lilac frigate
pine imp
#

OHHHHHHHHH

#

i played OH for like 1 time after 2 years of release

dusk cape
lilac frigate
#

I dont want my purple shit to replaced by blue shit

sand marsh
vagrant cradle
#

no im talking about after serca

sand marsh
#

combat wise, you wouldnt

pine imp
#

just wanted some survival thing and realized the game doesn't even utilize survival as its core

sand marsh
#

ofc

vagrant cradle
#

also advanced honing isnt gone

#

you need to have finished advanced honing to use the serca mat

lilac frigate
#

so no, you are wrong

queen grail
# sand marsh progression wise you would

So you want to do a raid with 20 people but only a few per raids get's something and you have to save up DKP to bid on the meta item you've been waiting for 4 months for?

sand marsh
#

no other way to progress?

#

interesting

dusk cape
sand marsh
dusk cape
#

AH is actually a system i like, regular honing on the other handSadge

sand marsh
#

in classic you'd be right tho

vagrant cradle
#

it's just baked into the gear afaik after you use the serca mat

#

but we'll see next week you can just compare base stats before and after

pine imp
#

the whole rando loot and not getting gear for months sounds garbo

#

wait that sounds like doing NM raids and not getting relic cores

sand marsh
#

yah thankfully that doesnt really exist anymore

queen grail
pine imp
vagrant cradle
sand marsh
#

and the difference between BiS gear and non BiS gear isn't that massive. can still purple parse+

vagrant cradle
#

thought that's what they would use from then on

#

but we see how that went

dusk cape
vagrant cradle
sand marsh
#

if i could put what u said in lost ark words

#

"you just do kazeros for 3 months and play a clicking simulator" sounds unrewarding"

lilac frigate
sand marsh
swift tree
sand marsh
#

open world content, crafting, etc.

swift tree
#

use those rewards to build character

#

^different stuff usually themed around exploration, crafting, economics, raiding, dungeons or monster grinding

queen grail
dusk cape
#

better than my purples >.>

lilac frigate
#

open world content often boils down to bullshit like just stacking and it being freeloot or pvp shit

queen grail
vagrant cradle
#

lost ark my exclusive raiding game for 1 day and then afk for 6 days

lilac frigate
#

and crafting is just a click or time investement most of the time

swift tree
sand marsh
lilac frigate
#

im not saying stuff doesnt have its place but im saying that I dont see the point of porting any of that to LA

queen grail
sand marsh
swift tree
sand marsh
swift tree
sand marsh
#

acknowledging it and actually doing it

#

ill wait until it actually happens

vagrant cradle
#

but gave up on them a long time ago

swift tree
queen grail
#

SAD I would do a lot more lifeskills but Busser's ruined the economy for Blue Gem's and now Cryge

sand marsh
#

thats whats really important

queen grail
lilac frigate
#

after days I got blue gems for 16k

swift tree
queen grail
#

xdd nice

dusk cape
lilac frigate
#

sure the prices are up again but hey, I got some

dusk cape
#

i bought half of it

sand marsh
#

a way to target farm to a degree if you ask me.

#

and only doing keys will get very old, very quickly

#

for those who dont want to raid or arent interested in it

vagrant cradle
#

that sounds too reliable and opposite to the mass rng strategy everything they have going

dusk cape
sand marsh
swift tree
sand marsh
#

they will just continue the same old strategy they always have

sand marsh
swift tree
swift tree
queen grail
#

Give us option to rest a week's worth of raid and get double next week UwU

sand marsh
swift tree
#

They discussed flex raids with “mercenary players” as an idea in a dev stream showing a mockup but nothing announced

sand marsh
#

remember rehearsal mode lol

#

was a perfect way to implement that

queen grail
#

You have a bad week? You're sick? You don't have time? No worries, chill this week.

dusk cape
#

that's one thing i miss about old mmos`s, going mia for a few weeks then come back and grind my butt off, none of the weekly lockout BS

swift tree
sand marsh
#

i could step away for an entire season in wow, come back and catch up in like 2-3 weeks in terms of item level

#

cant do that in lost ark

swift tree
#

Problem is solo comes way too late so you’re overlevelled by the time it drops and normal/hard community has power scaled past all relevant mechanics that you’d apply solo experience to

vagrant cradle
sand marsh
#

and not embedded into every single little thing

swift tree
sand marsh
#

weekly lockouts are fine

dusk cape
sand marsh
#

the problem is if you want to step away from the hamsteer wheel of LA for a while

swift tree
sand marsh
#

ohh

#

yeah i suppose

queen grail
#

I'd rather they just work on the system we have and making them better, cube should only drop relic on top-end cube for one yep

vagrant cradle
swift tree
sand marsh
#

its all bound anyways

swift tree
sand marsh
#

this would actually be really good

#

never thought of that tbh

swift tree
#

also gets new players experienced with combat mechs

vagrant cradle
#

talking about all the things that will never happen

#

my expectations for this summer loaon are on the floor too

swift tree
vagrant cradle
#

just going to show a new class and raid

swift tree
vagrant cradle
swift tree
dusk cape
#

what on earth happen in march? that it scared soo many ppl away

swift tree
vagrant cradle
#

that didn't look good for sure

swift tree
#

And most mods in official leaving discord

vagrant cradle
#

completely understandable

dusk cape
swift tree
vagrant cradle
#

they see roxx and henry gone, serca a pushover mostly, the abyss dungeon is a pushover too

#

nothing really to look forward to

#

im not surprised people quit

dusk cape
#

oh also new abyssal dunngeon in KR that dropped in march looked super EZ, so ppl dont feel the neeed to play and push even more

swift tree
dusk cape
#

now i wonder how much lower those numbers are past fridays, if you remove alt accounts

dusk cape
#

all my static runs are done by thursday and half of em dont log on till next reset

swift tree
#

The lack of any “Hey Serca will let you earn gear at 1710” is probably going to generate further fomo burnout

vagrant cradle
#

i mean once you learn the patterns, yeah? for a geared party and not rats

#

talking like a 5k+ main

sand marsh
swift tree
sand marsh
#

how so

swift tree
#

For RU and Us

sand marsh
#

i dont recall any change

vagrant cradle
queen grail
swift tree
#

You need to hit 1730 to craft new gear but you can earn the materials at 1710

sand marsh
#

fully adv honed?

vagrant cradle
sand marsh
#

yea see thats stupid. let people transfer at 1710 to take advantage of better honing odds

#

thats my take

swift tree
sand marsh
#

yea thats a plus

#

not denying that

#

but transfer locked to 1730...

#

a bit stupid

vagrant cradle
#

im just glad they're letting people farm the mat pre 1730 at all

swift tree
sand marsh
#

but the salad still has shit in it

#

W

vagrant cradle
sand marsh
swift tree
swift tree
sand marsh
#

a good example of a company who acknowledges degen behavior like RMT, but doesn't limit the game because of it is PoE

#

the devs words were actuallt SS tier

#

when he spoke about it

#

maybe its a new zealand thing

#

but they are smart

lilac frigate
#

its a GGG thing

swift tree
sand marsh
#

forgot the companies name

#

yeah GGG lol

sand marsh
#

i didnt know that if so lol

dusk cape
#

we gonna need band-aid solutions for ark grid soon for new players, like we had with elixirs handing free 40 sets out, gap in both CP & actual power to big

sand marsh
#

and the catchup would need to be insane lol

#

since it cost too much

swift tree
queen grail
sand marsh
#

xdddddd

queen grail
sand marsh
#

u can tho

#

cause ive made way more exalt by linking in chat

lilac frigate
sand marsh
#

vs the website

#

so i guess its very pay to win

lilac frigate
#

the way to trade is something people forgot and its kinda annoying though

queen grail
#

I love POE don't get me wrong, but their nicle and dime on QOL is disgusting think they make plenty already and to charge for shit like Charge tab or "Currency tab" after they've made the 50'th unique shit is just, meeh.

sand marsh
#

not saying poe is perfect. they just have a good dev mentaility

#

theres a reason why its called path of economy

#

i just dont agree with tabs being pay to win

queen grail
sand marsh
#

a lotttt of people uses trade chat still

#

u might of had it filtered out

lilac frigate
#

you always could

sand marsh
#

pretty sure u did since some people filter out that chat

lilac frigate
#

you can list your stuff on the trade site without a premium tab

queen grail
#

Weirdga Ye, the 0,01% of people I guess.

swift tree
lilac frigate
#

people just forgot about it and dont mention it ever

#

because its annoying

queen grail
sand marsh
#

also, lets say it is pay to win. it's a one time purchase

queen grail
#

Let's be real.

sand marsh
#

and cost pennies

#

compared to other games

#

with actual pay to win

queen grail
#

Anything else is either being a scumbag or something else yep

sand marsh
#

lets be honest about that at least

swift tree
sand marsh
#

there's levels to it. and in this era, monetizing stash tabs, cosmetics and nothing else. is extremely tame compared to 99.9% of games

pine imp
#

I mean at the end of the day you dictate what game is fun to you and what your own enjoyment is in a video game

swift tree
#

There’s no need to store character data, host large databases of inventory storage, guilds, mounts, open maps, npc dialogue trees etc. that require significantly more development costs

queen grail
sand marsh
#

i dont even play PoE. maybe once every few leagues if the league looks cool.

#

i just like where there head is at

queen grail
sand marsh
#

with there mentality

queen grail
#

Either way's, they already are making a ton from cosmetic.

#

Why not just stick to that think

pine imp
#

PoE not having convenient trading without having stash tabs was super annoying

#

the fact that you can't even sell conveniently without P2W is insane

sand marsh
#

i rememebr GGG answering a question someone asked. it was something like "with how bad RMT is, can you remove the player trading in the game" and he responded basically saying "we wont remove trading because RMT exists, we dont want to limit our players due to bad actors" basically

#

it was a W response

queen grail
pine imp
#

yea thats why PoE economy is always dogshit after 2 weeks

swift tree
sand marsh
#

yeah i agree zero, but if u remove player trading, you remove a massive part of the game

#

and by implementing road blocks, you end up limiting a large part of your honest audience

#

look how well "Trusted" works in lost ark

#

it does fucking nothing lmao

pine imp
#

idk if u removed trading in lost ark you basically kill the game

swift tree
#

“If I’m going go be punished for someone else taking advantage of an exploit/poor-conduct regardless, why not also take part?”

queen grail
#

This is why If you play POE.

You play SSF UwU

pine imp
#

remove the auction house and the game is dead

swift tree
pine imp
sand marsh
#

like LA, they implemented trusted status

swift tree
sand marsh
#

and its proven to do absolutely nothing positive for the game

swift tree
#

lbh

pine imp
#

trusted status only limited players

sand marsh
#

yeah its terrible

#

the amount of messages in here about how to get trusted status, how long it takes

pine imp
#

I mean if they removed trade in PoE its just SSF

sand marsh
#

just one example of punishing your entire audience because of bots

pine imp
#

and the majority of PoE players aren't SSF

queen grail
#

SSF is King 👑

#

Dont' have to deal with trade or shit UwU

pine imp
#

so you still cater to your majority of ur audience

sand marsh
pine imp
#

well the majority in lost ark is just rice farmers

sand marsh
#

i think thats just a loud minority that you see. i dont believe most players are rice farmers lol

swift tree
#

I’m just here to play the fucking game man

pine imp
#

idk KR stats say

#

1710 is like 90% of their playerbase

sand marsh
#

also depends on what ur definition of rice farmers are

swift tree
pine imp
#

or where gold comes from

#

I wouldn't be surprised if NA looks the same

sand marsh
#

KR believes in the ideology of "game investments" and equating that to IRL currency

#

the west on the other hand

#

dont give a fuck about that

pine imp
#

because the majority of ppl that play just mimick another region

#

everything is just being echo chambered in discord/reddit anyways

swift tree
sand marsh
#

well NA does look the same because its smilegate who makes the rules and systems.

dusk cape
#

nah we play 6 man rosters, while alot of KR does not

sand marsh
#

you would think after publishing the game in so many diff regions

#

they would learn there lesson

#

that not everyone likes what KR likes

pine imp
#

KR is forced to play 1 main

#

they can't even afford to do 6 mains like in T3

slow saddle
#

damn yall aint sleeping?

#

tf

swift tree
sand marsh
#

T3 was the golden age of alts, yeah.

swift tree
pine imp
#

yea except NA is insanely RMT rampant

sand marsh
#

but the cost of maintaining alts in T4 is the same in every region. its a bit easier for us because of continious events

swift tree
#

I MAKING NUGGETS

pine imp
#

kinda insane that bunch of streamers are RMTers
