lost-ark-help

[torpid elbow]

i mean at least like 3 people got it from my recruiting haha

[lime beacon]

its also random iirc like its a an auction at the end

[tawdry moth]

im from central europe returning to the game after 2 years and it says i need to move my characters to one of these new servers. what server should i pick?

[torpid elbow]

you can get one from exchange shop

[lime beacon]

oh yea

[torpid elbow]

this wee guy

[lime beacon]

you just need a HM clear right? then you unlock the achievement for it

[torpid elbow]

theres like 3 achievements ya see, i was told HM does it for all but unsure

[balmy plank]

Ratik is the most populated EU server

[tawdry moth]

ok thank you

[torpid elbow]

elpon is the coolest tho

[brisk bridge]

Can anyone confirm when leaderboards closeoff for the week in NAWest? Edit - Paradise

[rose jewel]

you dont move chars between servers, you take them out of the storage of the server you had them in (the one that got merged with others)

?merge

[buoyant dock]

The servers have recently merged. This has moved around some items, but they are not lost.
Step 1. Reclaim your characters from the Universal Storage on the character select screen.
Step 2. Login and claim your cards on the Universal Storage tab on the card menu using ALT+C.
Step 3. Reclaim your roster storage by using ESC and opening Universal Storage.
Step 4. Re-equip your cards as they were reset and must be re-equipped.

You are all good to go!
For more information on the merge read this.
If you are looking for visuals than checkout the pins in ⁠#lost-ark-help.

[tawdry moth]

yeah im a little confused about whats going on. the button just says click to move character

[rose jewel]

follow the command above

[tawdry moth]

will do thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKq56J_RCig

then watch all these

[tawdry moth]

this is gonna be tough getting back into this game after 2 years

[lime beacon]

nah if anything nows the best time to jump back in fr fr

it may take you like a week or two to get acquainted with new systems but if you have any questions just ask

[tawdry moth]

sounds good thanks

[torpid elbow]

i wonder what the content will be like post kazeros

as he is the big bad

[lime beacon]

well so actually lore wise theres a lot more big bads we have to deal with, all of them also just were waiting for kazeros to die

[torpid elbow]

ohh i see

i thought it was going to be like destiny where its like hey you killed another god, oh wait now a bigger badder god is coming

then we killed the witness and everyone was like yeah theres lit no way they can do more and LO AND BEHOLD they did more m

[lime beacon]

Thaemine and Kharmine are going to recombine into zosma, but they were waiting for kazeros to die because kazeros was the one who split them and killed zosma the first time, kakul saydon and his shadows also were waiting to act until kazeros was dead, and finally theres the church of sacria the twilight faction led by valicio is honestly probably the evilest people we have encountered so far in the game

[torpid elbow]

so as long as it fits the lore im cool with that. another succubus incoming for sure

[lime beacon]

Also regulus isnt a good guy either.

[torpid elbow]

he gives us silver tho

im happy that there is confirmed more content. ive put like 180 hours in last like 3 weeks

[rose jewel]

for your gambling addiction

[torpid elbow]

yeah i even had to go to my alt to run the +1 attempts

[lime beacon]

the next big arc they already teased is going to be a huge east map expansion, and in that map expansion lies the main continent of sacria

and sacria is probably the next big villians

they literally have murdered children and old people by throwing them off cliffs

sacria is like just as evil as the demons lmao

[torpid elbow]

my type of crowd

[molten grove]

i jus wanna c what the dragon knight is like 2pleh

since its supposed to be 2.0 class

[torpid elbow]

is kazeros the actual big blue guy or is he the gundyr from ds3 looking guy

i cant read korean

[lime beacon]

at the end of north kurzan that big guy was kazeros like in an incomplete shadow form, then the guy who sorta looks like a ds3 boss thats his actual form though through the raid he goes different forms and stuff

[torpid elbow]

ah yes im with you, yeah he looks like gundyr

him with shield

= kaz

[lime beacon]

but yea basically kazeros the god of death killed zosma and usurped petrania from him the original god of chaos, when he killed zosma with the help of the primordial demons like kakul and echidna though zosma split into two beings instead of dying, kharmine and thaemine. In act 3 gate 1 kharmine and thaemine reunite and kharmine helps thaemine remember who/what he is then they run away into a portal, they probably are going to recombine into zosma. The primordial demons like echidna and kakul though have their own plans and also want kazeros dead.

then theres valicio and the twilight priests who were also waiting for kazeros to be defeated to act

so we have 3 possibilities for the next big bad of the next arc

[torpid elbow]

i thought kharmine was on our side, i thought we spoke to him during NK campaign

[lime beacon]

enemy of our enemy is our friend situation

[torpid elbow]

oh i see yes cause he wants to be with thaemine and get kaz out the way

makes sense

so they can fusion dance and become zosma

[lime beacon]

pretty much yea

[rose jewel]

chubby zosma

[torpid elbow]

but what if we just hired doomguy so we could life skill all day?

and let him kill the big bad

[magic sparrow]

Beat Valtan solo in 2 tries. Very easy indeed.

[willow lodge]

which is better for summoner Communication overflow ormaster

[lime beacon]

currently CO is performing better iirc

[torpid elbow]

hell yeah, the challenge express ones are a little easier

[lime beacon]

both are similar tho performance specs its more about how much you like each one

[torpid elbow]

youll find solo mode tomorrow a little more rough but tis the same idea

[magic sparrow]

Thank goodness. I need all the help I can get 😭

[torpid elbow]

yeah they are quite a bit easier so get that 20k gold lol and hone. its the exact same mechs in solo mode for the legion raids

the bosses are just nerfed for the express event bit

[magic sparrow]

So if its the regular raid they just hit you harder and require higher dmg checks?

[torpid elbow]

its just more of slog in solo mode

[lime beacon]

the way the devs have said it is basically the defeat of kazeros is end of chapter 1 of the game and theres going to be 3 chapters

[torpid elbow]

pretty much and their hp doesnt move as quick lol

[torpid elbow]

and then lost ark 2

[lime beacon]

so we have 2 more big arcs to go before game end

[torpid elbow]

more gamba

[magic sparrow]

That doesn't sound too bad. Solo was pretty quick.

[torpid elbow]

if youre challenge express i wouldnt even do vykus or kakul saydon

honestly idek how to do kakul he just wipes me at 1670 hahaha

[lime beacon]

thats lost ark mobile lmao

[torpid elbow]

just focus on the higher ones that you can for your gold acquisition

[magic sparrow]

I don't have a high enough ilvl. I need to get Akkan gear but I'm not too sure how :(

[torpid elbow]

i mean chapter 1 is very big, you think theyll be the same length

[lime beacon]

the express gives you akkan gear

[torpid elbow]

so you just do the next steps on the right of express

[lime beacon]

the one you start with is akkan gear on your express char

[magic sparrow]

Oooooooooooooooooooh

Do i get to keep the gear? :o

[rose jewel]

no, i'll steal it

[magic sparrow]

oh it expires. lame 😭

[torpid elbow]

its basically a hey follow this and you get stronger

[lime beacon]

Yes though you will hone iot to 1620 then through the express it gives you the t4 gear set

[rose jewel]

yes thats your best gear

[torpid elbow]

the gear you keep

[lime beacon]

you transfer the 1620 gear to the t4 set and you becffome 1640

[torpid elbow]

the event expires

[magic sparrow]

Ah okay

That's so nice

[rose jewel]

there is a tldr progression guide pinned here

[torpid elbow]

so try blast through it

[magic sparrow]

I thought was gonna have to spend next few months grinding eyes

[rose jewel]

if you powerpass you start at akkan gear

[magic sparrow]

yeye i am

[torpid elbow]

as its free upgrades at the moment

[lime beacon]

nah you get the set right away from the powerpass

[torpid elbow]

i got from 1585 to 1670 in a couple weeks

[lime beacon]

even your 2nd char you powerpassd to 1585

[magic sparrow]

I'm very glad I chose Powerpass ;-;

[torpid elbow]

i only spent £20 cause im an addict

[lime beacon]

starts with akkan gear

[torpid elbow]

and it was signums fault really

[torpid elbow]

want to know something cool

you have a second powerpass

[cerulean herald]

hi! newbie here! what is the minimum set you need for strong earth's breath to make it better than LOS in Mordum? Thank you! ❤️

[lime beacon]

24 but i use 18 for the Damage reduction

like its a bit lower damage wise then LOS 30 but if you have a sup running earth damage set

[cerulean herald]

Oh so 18 is fine ady? 😄

[lime beacon]

the DR and stuff i use 18

[cerulean herald]

Oooohhh

[torpid elbow]

so make an alt and you can powerpass it up as well, more gold acquisition each week 🙂

just choose your class carefully of course as you wont be able to refund the pass on your char

[magic sparrow]

wait where does it give the akkan gear in the challenge express. do i have to complete all the challenges first?

[torpid elbow]

you dont get the express event for a second char though

[lime beacon]

No you start with it

when you powerpass akkan gear is what it gives you

[magic sparrow]

the gear i have is faith gear

[rose jewel]

1585 = akkan

dont overthink it

[lime beacon]

yes thats akkan gear it just has a different name cause it also starts at level 3 enhancement

the name changes a bit each time the gear is leveled

[magic sparrow]

So should I start honing that gear then ?

[torpid elbow]

yes

[magic sparrow]

oki

[nova burrow]

I'm 1.5 away from 1680 and I ran out of mats

How great is that?

[torpid elbow]

8 hours till reset

[nova burrow]

U so right

[rose jewel]

lmao, no

[lime beacon]

for normal mode the DR isnt as important but in HM you will get chunked so hard by like a single pattern without the DR

[nova burrow]

But I want it now 😒

[rose jewel]

like 5hrs for maint then 8+

[lime beacon]

like if i get hit once without the DR im down to like 40% hp

[torpid elbow]

i was scraping the barrel on gold the other day to get .66 to 1670

[torpid elbow]

maint?

[nova burrow]

Scraping the barrel lol

[lime beacon]

yea weekly maintenance in like 4 hours

[rose jewel]

brother, i recommend reading these channels to stay informed #announcements #official-updates

[torpid elbow]

man, i was literally getting enough for 1 tap and running that shit each time i could hahahah

[magic sparrow]

Will weeklies reset after maintenance ?

[lime beacon]

Yes

[torpid elbow]

oh see i usually wake at 3pm so never an issue haha

[magic sparrow]

Ooooooooo

Lemme get those down now then lol

[nova burrow]

I got my adv honing to lvl 10 and my gloves to lvl 16 honing

I really really just need 1.5 more

[torpid elbow]

i was asking my friend

"gis 400 gold for a tap lad"

[cerulean herald]

hmm how about the dmg? is full LOS still better than 18 earth?

[nova burrow]

gis?

[torpid elbow]

give us

[lime beacon]

yes it is better damage wise but if your dead you do less damage is how i view it lmao

[magic sparrow]

When should I start opening card packs

[torpid elbow]

or give es meaning give me

[nova burrow]

Now

Anytime actually lol

[nova burrow]

Ohhh

[cerulean herald]

HAHAHAHA yes yes thank you! ❤️

[nova burrow]

You were asking your friend for gold

[magic sparrow]

oh in the nexus beginners guide it said to wait xD

[torpid elbow]

try not to use all your card slots

[torpid elbow]

like a little addict

[cerulean herald]

so i guess LOS is still better to use in NM

[nova burrow]

There are books you gotta complete

[torpid elbow]

i was like squidward on the streets begging

[lime beacon]

if you want a tip to earn a bit more gold this week you can use the 2nd powerpass in your product inventory in the top right of the UI claim it then consume the ticket you then can make a 2nd character to use the 1585 powerpass on and then do the solo mode raids on them to

also be sure to do paradise and crucible

those keys are HUGE

[nova burrow]

I just completed swift thunderbolt today but I have to get all 30

[nova burrow]

LMAO I asked my friend for $30

[torpid elbow]

will guardian raid for 400 gold pls sir

[magic sparrow]

Yeah thats the plan. Unfortunately I'm still so new I'm still figuring out alot. I'm hoping I can get a decent amount done before next reset lol

[lime beacon]

Just be sure to atleast hit the boss in crucible once

[torpid elbow]

tbf that friend did give me like £10 for gold the other day lol im paying it back on friday

[lime beacon]

yyou then will get 3 hell keys

[rose jewel]

depends on how many cards you already have in your catalog, the max is 250 for new people, if you're very close to the limit then save them and focus on important cards from other sets, otherwise you gotta buy card slots, which aint really that cheap for new people

[lime beacon]

hell keys are huge boosts to progression

its a weekly particpation reward basically you get 3 keys for doing any amount of damage to the boss in crucible

[magic sparrow]

What do you do with extra cards then o;

[nova burrow]

I need honing mats like a LOT of the shards

And gold

[torpid elbow]

get them bought

from market

[nova burrow]

But I need the gold for honing

lol

[magic sparrow]

I think that's in Paradise. Are the entries shared between Elysian and Hell ?

[rose jewel]

honestly, if you already have 18 just use it, it really really helps everyone, both you to not get one shot and your sup to react to shield or cleanse or throw a heal, the dmg req is not high, prio survival, 1min longer raid wont matter

[torpid elbow]

its a real catch 22

[nova burrow]

Different entrances

[torpid elbow]

no

keys for hell

you get 3 keys weekly

[lime beacon]

No each system is seperate, i wrote a short little write up explaining ill copy paste it for you here

[nova burrow]

Elysian you get 5 entries per week. Hell you get keys for

Crucible you can just buy the entrance tickets

[lime beacon]

so paradise is split into 3 tabs, elysian is wherew you get the special gear, crucible is where you fight a boss using that special gear (it doesnt use any gear from outside this system )and get ranked every week just by doing any form of particpation you get 3 hell keys, then you use those hell keys to do the hell mode which can give you a ton of mats as rewards.

[magic sparrow]

ah okokok

Is Hell Hard? :s

[rose jewel]

did you mean silver and more paradise gear? :<

[lime beacon]

No its very easy

its basically a reward mode

like impossible to fail

[magic sparrow]

Sweet

[lime beacon]

(except with the new special keys but those are different)

[magic sparrow]

Oh so how do I know which cards to use, do I look up builds ?

[rose jewel]

if you actually fail a hell run, a normal hell run, you will probably be the first ever

just use LoS for everything

[lime beacon]

you have unlimited time and unlimited revives

its like actually impossible to fail

[rose jewel]

people

[magic sparrow]

Niice

[rose jewel]

if i've learned something in this game, is that people make anything impossible possible

in the worse sense

[candid lake]

damn

that dps check in striek raid hm was impossible

🙏

jkjk

[lime beacon]

i had 1740 DPS so we cleared with like 6 minutes left lmao

[rose jewel]

i wouldnt be surprised if some 1730s~ didnt meet the req

i've seen things

[torpid elbow]

goodnight my friends, big week ahead

[cerulean herald]

but but in terms of overall damage LOS is still better right? tho yes, i'll use my 18 already just curious abt the damage the 18 gave since mordum is a bit weak on earth 😄

[willow lodge]

is theres any youtube guide how to craft good 5-3 elixirs cuz i fucked up with the free elixirs at the beginning of the game i put them on wrong set

[magic sparrow]

@rose jewel How do I figure out which cards I should focus on getting first ? I'm really afraid of my catalogue getting full now :(

[rose jewel]

the elemental advantage for mordum is 5% extra, then the 8% from the set, so 13, plus whatever the support has

raw numbers LoS is 2% better

[lime beacon]

yea mordum is only like slightly weak to earth other bosses when weak to element give 10% damage bonus mordums only 5%

[rose jewel]

but since all sups have lwc30 guaranteed, its around 18.5%

vs 13+2%~ which is the usual

so yes, los is better for a bit more dmg, like 2-3% dmg at most, but its much worse for survival

[candid lake]

btw the bonuses multiply i think but same idea

[rose jewel]

meaning earth set 18 is superior

ehh details

[lime beacon]

yea on my alt account that doesnt have SEB 18 i went los 30 and like if i got hit by 1 or 2 patterns even in normal i dropped to like 50% hp

on ilvl

[cerulean herald]

Oooh so if thats the case then 18 earth is better in skolakia than LOS?

[lime beacon]

i think so actually

[rose jewel]

in sko is 18%

assuming 18set

but being realistic, i never switch los/lwc

its free

[candid lake]

I wonder if we're going to ever get a triple arrow weakness

🤔

[rose jewel]

and if you die from the thunders around, blame your sup

[cerulean herald]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

anw, thank you!!! ❤️

[candid lake]

fax

just blame your sup for everything

[icy shuttle]

Hey guys, is pet ability passive always active now?
I'm trying to find the 3 effect selection page and cant find it anywhere now

[lime beacon]

wait does SEB also decrease the amount of tick damage you take from being unbalanced or does that not count as lightning damage?

[rose jewel]

yes rosterwide all of them

[lime beacon]

Yes all pet abilities are always active now

if you have the ability its active

[icy shuttle]

Nice, so my obsession to get all race bonus legendary is worth it in the end

[rose jewel]

all but god :c

[lime beacon]

Cause like on my alt account i noticed i was taking like WAY more damage from the ticks it seemed like without SEB

[rotund hearth]

Here's to hoping they fix the trusted status issue. A week without being able to sell anything is ridiculous

[rose jewel]

ho boi

who gonna tell him

[lime beacon]

it took deathboi a month on his fresh account

[subtle cove]

Can you get the trusted status if u spend $5?

[lime beacon]

No spending doesnt speed it up atleast thats what AGS says though some people have said after buying aura they got it the next day

[rose jewel]

from what we as a community know, no

[lime beacon]

but it really is RNG

[rotund hearth]

I lost it a day after I pitied my 25 weapon

Imagine that

[rose jewel]

juge rmt

[lime beacon]

om

[rotund hearth]

Nah, I also swiped rc that day too, which makes it even more weird to lose it

[rose jewel]

sure buddy

[lime beacon]

yea honestly that is weird

[subtle cove]

What would you guys recommend to a lvl 1340 to make unbound gold?

🙏😞

[rotund hearth]

And ags is just like "just keep playing normally and the system will re evaluate automatically"

[junior pelican]

Does anyone know if the settings for the Combat Analyser (tab/metric selection etc.) are stored locally or on the server; i.e. will they be the same on another machine?

[lime beacon]

sadly uh nothing

[rose jewel]

Are you one of those that is just playing from 0 for fun and refuse to use the pass?

The possible only way would be adventure island

Or find another 3 good souls to carry you thru aira oculus/oreha preveza (if those even give tradable gold still)

[summer thunder]

What exactly do I need to do in order to get Hell keys each week?

[lime beacon]

do any amount of damage to crucible 1

and then you dont even need to do crucible again

[eager mortar]

Can I ask if you have progress on your adventurer tome, will the Arkesia tour reward still fill that in? Because the symbol disappeared on my Yudia one

[summer thunder]

oh I don't need to do crucible once a week??

[subtle cove]

Unfortunately I am, does making the alts help with giving more gold?

[lime beacon]

Nope i dont do it on my alts and they get keys still

[summer thunder]

wow, awesome!

ty

[lime beacon]

as long as you did any amount of damage to a crucible boss once

you are permanetly ranked in the top 100%

you wont be ranked high ofc but you dont need to do crucible again

your ranking doesnt like reset to zero each week

[rose jewel]

Where you currently are? No, you can't even get gold with one let alone more low lv chars

[summer thunder]

this saves me so much time omg

[rose jewel]

If you were to powerpass? Yeah, a lot of bound gold, but since you want to suffer just a bit (lot) just go for an adventure island whenever gold is on the table, you have to check on the compass or in-game calendar when one will appear with gold

[candid lake]

btw if u get shit chests and legacy random chest is one of them

[lime beacon]

You do have to like log into the character though

[candid lake]

i highly recommend getting it if you have shit paradise gear

so you can easily climb cruicble for the boss clear chests

which can help save a few weeks of shards!

and extra mats

[summer thunder]

oh good point

[lime beacon]

yea the legacy paradise chest if you are doing paradise pretty much fresh will be a big boost

i got it on one of my alts that had been just chilling i dont even run elysian on them but they got silver/accessories/paradise gear

picked paradise gear and they got 2 ancients and 4 relics

[candid lake]

you can even get ancient 1 star from it!

[summer thunder]

daang that's crazy

[subtle cove]

Thanks for the info, I’ve been running the adventure islands for now and hope to be able to start selling some mats once I get to 1370

[summer thunder]

also when is Brel solo mode coming out?

[lime beacon]

Game really is designed to be powerpassed at this point tbh

[lime beacon]

Probably in december

it will probably be revealed at winter LOAON

[summer thunder]

ah they need to move that date up asap

[lime beacon]

interesting thing though last year we got thaemine solo and echidna at the same time in december

so maybe we got both brel solo and mordum solo same time

cause act 4 and kazeros are two seperate raids

so thatd be 2 non solo end game raids they are adding to

[magic sparrow]

what time is maintenance

[lime beacon]

in like 3 hours

[candid lake]

look in #announcements

it's adjusted to your time zone

[summer thunder]

it's always midnight

[candid lake]

not necessarily

[magic sparrow]

How do I use honing book to hone gear

[candid lake]

it's 3 am for me

[magic sparrow]

oh nvm i found the menu

[lime beacon]

when you hone on the right hand side there will be like sub menu UI

with the books inside it

just click the book and it will use it when you tap

[onyx lodge]

For the honing im missing a red material but i cant find how to get it, it says stronghold but i went there and was so confused

[unreal oracle]

i beat valtan in solo for the first time today pretty proud of myself

[spring spruce]

you mean prime oreha? for that you need to reasearch the crafting recipe first for whatever life skill you want to do and then you can start crafting them

[wooden swallow]

Solo shop would be the easiest

[midnight nimbus]

Do you lose anything if you don't do the 4man strike raid? If you did 6 8mans?

[spring spruce]

4 man raid or better to just say 1-4 man raid gives tokens for the shop

[clever wolf]

Hey all, doing paradise for the first time and I'm a bit confused. I have gotten the first level of crucible to 80%. I don't know how it would be possible for me to get another 18~% out of my current legacies, but I only have 1 more elysian ticket for the week.

Does it normally take more than 1 week to get through the first level of crucible? I have only gotten 1 green legacy

[lime beacon]

you can solo it

its super easy takes like 2-3 minutes

gives you more tokens to use to buy honing mat selection

[balmy plank]

This is an early min/max path in the pinned comments. Sometimes if youre luck is bad, no good drops, upgrades not hitting, you might not fully clear a crucible stage. If thats the case just take what you can & you get more Elysian entries next reset

[lime beacon]

it also depends on the class

some can clear crucible 1 without doing elysian

[balmy plank]

Some classes are real bad

[lime beacon]

some need the elysian

[clever wolf]

I'm on Valk, might just be bad

[balmy plank]

Valk is notably bad

[lime beacon]

yes valk is one of the rough paradise ones

she sucks until you get chalice level six

[clever wolf]

using the paradise build on the guide from nexus

[lime beacon]

for t resets

[balmy plank]

They do get better as you get more power & upgrades

[clever wolf]

gotchaa

[lime beacon]

yes valk is one of the rougher early paradises

[balmy plank]

I think my valk didnt clear crucible 1, week 1 either tbh

[clever wolf]

so paradise is something I should be doing on any character I can, even if i don't really know how to play them? lol

it seems like it's just free shit for mostly equalized gear and stats

[balmy plank]

Any 1580+ char I would. Everything is char bound rewards from hell keep in mind

[clever wolf]

Need to get my glaive up, but she's way behind 1580

[balmy plank]

BUT, if you get an altar in Hell. Upgrade a key to Fire/Ice key you can get rewards like relic books or tons of cards packs which are roster wide

[clever wolf]

i think like 1400 ish

[balmy plank]

No real rush. We have the 2 powerpasses available then just take your time

[clever wolf]

used my other power pass on Gunslinger, which apparently I don't like as much as I did back at launch lol

It's all good though, im too behind to be worried about min maxing shit

[balmy plank]

Good mindset

[candid lake]

fire/ice key at 1580 doesnt give relic books (just saying)

[clever wolf]

Do awakening skills not have a casting item requirement anymore?

[balmy plank]

Nope

[clever wolf]

awesome

[molten grove]

how long till server reset

[balmy plank]

Maintenance starts in 2 hours

Otherwise normally ?reset

?reset

[buoyant dock]

ＮＡ reset local time: <t:1741600800:t>
ＥＵ reset local time: <t:1745056800:t>
Weekly reset is on Wednesday server time.

[molten grove]

whoa in 2hrs wow

[clever wolf]

Sad 🙁

Ayy beat crucible 1 on my first week on Valk, little victories lol

[nova burrow]

I feel like I'm gonna get 1680 in a day or two

[balmy plank]

[clever wolf]

guide folks MVP

[nova burrow]

I can't beat crucible 9

I'm only at 1.5m lop power (:

[balmy plank]

No rush. We're at crucible 10, which is the highest one so there is no falling behind

[clever wolf]

Is there any reason to not run Hell keys as I get them?

[balmy plank]

Lazyness? They expire at the end of the Paradise season in November so as long as you use them before then it doesnt really matter

[quiet umbra]

you don't have to actively play it. as long as you enter once, you'll get the participation reward keys every single week for the rest of the season

[clever wolf]

I need the mats tho ya?

[quiet umbra]

you do get the boxes for each boss though yeah

[clever wolf]

it always gives mats at the end I thought

cool

[quiet umbra]

each boss gives a box of materials

[clever wolf]

Dumb question; how do I get my hyper awakening? I am getting bonuses for it in paradise and I don't think I have it yet

[balmy plank]

Purple quest by the bottom left triport in elnead

[clever wolf]

doh, thanks

need to grab all those purples

[urban ingot]

I remember they made me playing a long ahh quest to receive the hyper

[brisk bridge]

Any easy way to get high seas coins without sailing co-op?

[drifting barn]

I just got to 1640 but still have my T3 accessories on, should I work on replacing them even though I'm going to lose a ton of enlightenment?

[urban ingot]

i dont think u should worrying about enlight when u are 1640

[quiet umbra]

if you're using the progression events, one of them gives a set of t4 relic and ancient accessories

[magic sparrow]

so maintenance should be happening about now ?

[burnt lichen]

I see basically everyone 1700 running around with the Stone that you get with the base equipment.

Is Faceting stones a waste of time?

[quiet umbra]

this box gives a set of 1640 accessories which are already cut and have good lines

[urban ingot]

I see some people faceting their own stone , some go for lv 3 , and lv 1

[lime beacon]

2/2 is solid stone going for one with 3 effect can take over a million gold

its not worth and is a tiny tiny increase

[burnt lichen]

Hmmmh

[urban ingot]

yeah some people buying relic books instead lull

[burnt lichen]

So for potential money making it's worth?

[lime beacon]

no because you cant sell the stones

and the stones themselves arent expensive its the amount of pheons you need

to buy the stones

then rng it

and it can be like 1000+ pheons until you get your 9/7

ignore stone

unless you are like 1730+ with relic books done

[quiet umbra]

you can sell any of the reasonably valuable uncut stones for a small amount of gold. just favourite grudge, adrenaline, cursed doll

[lime beacon]

going for 9/7 is just simply not worth

they sell for pennies tho the reason stones are expensive to cut

[burnt lichen]

Okay, that's a good idea

[lime beacon]

is because of their pheon cost.

[burnt lichen]

Just wondering if it's worth for me to even put the time into it

[lime beacon]

like a two good line stone is worth like 500-1500 gold

[burnt lichen]

But until 1700+ probably not

[lime beacon]

but the pheon cost

[quiet umbra]

supports might want a 4/0 awakening stone, but it's really irrelevant

[lime beacon]

is the problem

[burnt lichen]

Awakening and 2nd is whatever?

[quiet umbra]

just if you're a support player, you can collect awakening/whatever stones and try and get a 4/0. but it's not really important

[dusky sky]

just funnel stones from your alts to yourself

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, I'm checking AH some do go for 1-3K which is pretty good

[dusky sky]

if your dps char gets a support stone

mail it to yourself

[quiet umbra]

basically just favourite adrenaline, grudge, keen blunt weapon, cursed doll, raid captain. Stones with any combination of those 2 are probably worth at least a couple hundred of gold.
Awakening+drops of ether is also worth a lot

[burnt lichen]

Very nice

[dreamy bluff]

btw, the gauge bug in crusable, is that a random thing or does it stays forever?
ive done like 5runs in a row on my sorc and all of them had the gauge bug

[dreamy bluff]

welp, turns out only my sorc is bugged. tried all others and its fine. went back to sorc and its bugged still. rip

[timber mauve]

It’s a known bug. Check the official discord for other known bugs as they have a dedicated channel for it.

[dreamy bluff]

i know its a bug. but i thought it was just a 1 off thing and can happen. wasnt expecting it to happend through all 10-15runs i just did on my sorc and not once on my other characters

[static lance]

how olong does maintenance usually go for? prolly an hour?

[red void]

4 hours but today its 8

[boreal sentinel]

it's worth to note that it's planned time

it might end faster than 8 hrs

[bold geyser]

whats going on today?

oh is the merge happening

[magic sparrow]

So once you reach 1640 does that mean you'll be able to do most current raids?

[bold geyser]

just behe, aegir starts at 1660, brel at 1670, mord at 1680

[boreal sentinel]

merge is not happening today.

[vernal plaza]

i think 1680 is more like that but not that hard to hit it

[bold geyser]

o what's the occasion then?

[magic sparrow]

Ah so the first raid of the current raids

[boreal sentinel]

they are laying groundwork for merge + cleanup of banned players

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/team-update-account-related-adjustments

[bold geyser]

word ill check it out thanks 😄

[neat solar]

Playing with my sorc again, i remember igniter was the top dog, is reflux better nowadays for pve?

[dreamy bluff]

seems to be that way for pve, reflux stronger

[dusky sky]

igniter is nearly joke tier now

reflux is far better

[dreamy bluff]

reflux is pretty near the top from the last time i checked the charts a few weeks ago

[neat solar]

Thats sad

[dusky sky]

not really

igniter was op for so long

its only fair

they know what being weak is like

and they can always just swap to reflux if they want to do the damages

[molten grove]

smilegate dunno how 2 balance as usual

igniter was not "OP" it was just good in scenarios where u have a small burst window to front load all ur dmg, in longer raids where u can continously dps the boss, igniter was rarely top

[weary oyster]

why mt 8 hours again?

[dusky sky]

igniter was top during helltan and hellkas lol

[molten grove]

yeah they deleting banned accounts

[dusky sky]

and those were longer raids

[weary oyster]

WHAT

really

[molten grove]

yes

[dreamy bluff]

i think he means permabanned accounts. i mean they are permabanned. might as well remove them

[torpid elbow]

someone in DB chat said this goes for like 20k? how do you know which bracelets sell

is it cause just crit spec or what other factors give good price

[molten grove]

that looks shit coz both stats are green rolls but 20k is not alot either

[torpid elbow]

oh how would you knwo if its worth money, obvs cant check the game cause downtime

any videos or anything? cause i just dismantle all mine

[molten grove]

u can only check ah

all 4 slot bracelets with 2 main stats are worth checking

[torpid elbow]

ah okay thanks teresa

[tired cargo]

8 hours ? damn

[tired cargo]

what's ironic about these bracelets is that they have the potential to be like this, I upgraded it to ancient

[burnt lichen]

Just wondering here.

Wouldn't it be better to make a new Steam account to push from 0 to 1640 with all the events and free pass?

Even if paying for Kurzan pass, 1585 to 1640 without having the event stuff is like a month while it took me 1 week as complete newbie with events.

This 1640 can then trade and mail gold to sell to main Steam account.

[torpid elbow]

i havent checked much out in relation to accessories cause my powerpass char just got BIS stuff for now until ancient

[torpid elbow]

that could count as RMT tho not sure

[molten grove]

why does ur current account not have event and PP is the real question

[burnt lichen]

If you log and play from the same IP?

[torpid elbow]

they might not check that

[burnt lichen]

I started a week ago, so I already did them on my main

[torpid elbow]

just see an influx of mail from one account to the other with no back and forward

[burnt lichen]

They are not repeatable on alts, are they?

[torpid elbow]

but im not sure how smilegate work with rmt

[molten grove]

if ur trying to play multiple chars with multiple accounts then i would say its a viable strat if u keep adding to ur 2 rosters

but if ur just gonna make a new account everytime ur eventually gonna end up wiuth like 6 accounts all needing 2 do MSQ and other horizontal b.s EACH and drive u nuts

[torpid elbow]

youre also using a lot of time

[burnt lichen]

I event passed both to 1585 and one to 1640, but getting the second to 1640 is unrealistic because I need to push mains gold a looot

[torpid elbow]

to upgrade the express event

[molten grove]

thats the issue i had with 2 rosters and thats only 2, imagine having 3 or 4 later, jesus horizontal will kill u

[tired cargo]

I already have 6 +1680 without spending a dime or having alt accounts

[molten grove]

say new raid comes out and u got a 2hr MSQ to finish, u now have 2 do it twice

[burnt lichen]

Honestly that stuff is veeery fast

[lime beacon]

i had to do south rimeria on my alt account this week

[tired cargo]

playing the game on one account is already time taxing let alone alts

[lime beacon]

and it made me

[torpid elbow]

whats msq

madison square qarden

[molten grove]

main story quest

[burnt lichen]

Main story quest

[molten grove]

if ur willing 2 do horizontal n+x then sure that strat is the most giga efficient way possible but its tedious af

[lime beacon]

but alt accounts themselves arent bannable even sharing stuff between them is fine, the issue is if you do something that looks very repetitive and like a bot on that alt account it can get flagged then banned

[burnt lichen]

But the amount of time you have to spend to go from 0 to 1640 is 1 week, while with your alt character on main account is at least Kurza pass + month's of main's progress

[lime beacon]

i appealed my alt accounts ban and got it reversed

even telling them it was an alt account and i share gold from it to my main

[molten grove]

i would not worry about banns at all, Smilegate only subtracts the gold and make ur account go into the negative instead of actually banning even if u did RMT

[tired cargo]

no you definitely need time, I said it before and i'll say it again the game is hellish to newcomers

[torpid elbow]

do you have to do a new steam account? if you pick a new server do u not get powerpass?

[lime beacon]

nope new region only

so you cant mail back and forth

[torpid elbow]

so like im on elpon

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, that is why I am thinking about making a second alt account 😄

[torpid elbow]

if i pick arctu can i

[molten grove]

dont do diff region coz u cant share gold ever

bettr 2 make 2 diff steam acc

[burnt lichen]

So I would get 1640s on different accounts and funnel to main

[lime beacon]

to get another powerpass youd have to make a NAW roster or NAE roster

[torpid elbow]

ah im with ya

so new steam account is necessary for the gold stuff

[burnt lichen]

1640 is like 12h of playing

[tired cargo]

I mean sure if it speeds up the progress, what helped me personally is a few of my buddies leaving the game and giving me their gems

[burnt lichen]

The event challenges and stuff are so crazy

[lime beacon]

I made my alt account when ignite was a thing

1640 was super free

[molten grove]

if ur trying to calculate gold efficiency, the most efficient method is to go work at mcdonalds for 8hrs and then whale

it will beat out w/e u do in game

[burnt lichen]

Nono, the goal of the game is to not spend money

[lime beacon]

then i used this event to make another char up and now i have a 1670 and 1680 on my alt account

[molten grove]

time is money lol

[burnt lichen]

I could spend $1000 and not blink an eye, but the GAME is about NOT PAYING

[molten grove]

but ur sinking ur time

[tired cargo]

I believe I spent like 10$ and only to change my character's appearence

roll_safe

[molten grove]

so ur slave waging for $0.5 an hr basically

[burnt lichen]

It's a game

LOL

[molten grove]

its not fun

[burnt lichen]

It is for me LOL

[molten grove]

if ur just playing undergeared dogshit characters

[burnt lichen]

Trying to come up with strategies and efficiencies is very fun

[molten grove]

i mean sure ok then make 1000 accounts and repeat it works

[burnt lichen]

Yup!

[lime beacon]

Reason i made my alt account at first was because i only had 1 t4 character when ignite first came out and i wanted to get a 2nd so i could do more of the new raids lmao

and the extra gold income was like a bonus

on top of it

[molten grove]

i did the exact same thing then distched that roster coz i hate horizontal that much

i rather pay $5 for some kid in a third world country to do my MSQ for me if i could lol

[torpid elbow]

is the express 20k bards tradeable gold?

[lime beacon]

it is not

[torpid elbow]

cause that might be worth me doing tbh lol

ah rip, i thought you could send it after 🙁

[molten grove]

no gold fro mevent is tradable

[lime beacon]

i have a 1680 and 1670 now on that alt roster and my 1680 is actually top 30% in its bracket lmao

[molten grove]

otherwise bots galore

[lime beacon]

so like im a "good" well geared alt roster

not ratge

[torpid elbow]

id have to look it up and see how its done

before committing

[molten grove]

i made an aero on my alt roster during ignite, hated playing aero then made a WD and a reaper, hated them too so worked out in the end haha

[burnt lichen]

I mostly got that idea from the fact that chaos event, field bosses are roster shared

[lime beacon]

You basically use all the bound rewards and stuff to push up the alt roster get them decent enough then you run raids on them each week group raids to be clear then you send that gold back to your main every once in a while/use it to progress the alt account to

like you still play it sorta like its just another account

but it also does increase gold income

[burnt lichen]

Yuh

[molten grove]

it definitely works and ul earn alot if u do it

[burnt lichen]

You play it like main account 2, but every tradable thing you send to main

[molten grove]

but u gotta keep doing it for a long as time

[torpid elbow]

ah that makes sense to me now yeah, well id probably wait until i get my main to like 1700 or something whenever its millions to upgrade cause ive still lots of collectible grinding to do on main

[molten grove]

we talking long term investment coz ur main prolly has to funnel some gold to 2nd roster first to get it up and runnin smoothly fast

[lime beacon]

with the new trusted system doing that kinda becomes inefficient though

[torpid elbow]

yeah cause its taken me 3 wks to get 1585 to 1670

[lime beacon]

so you like still sometimes use unbound gold on honing.doing karma etc

[burnt lichen]

How so?

[torpid elbow]

you need trust to use market

[molten grove]

u cant just send gold, u gotta send gold 1:1 with ur trust score without paying astronomical taxes

[lime beacon]

if you mail to much you go negative in trusted points and your gold gets taxed way higher when you mail it out

[burnt lichen]

Oh interesting!

[molten grove]

but its not an issue

coz ur gonna hone ur alts on 2nd acc so ur trust will go up as u progress

[lime beacon]

yea you just do some karma taps

like ym alt account rn has 200k trusted

from doing karma and stuff

and thats with me sending like 400k in gold i made from frog on it a few weeks ago

[burnt lichen]

I think I'll still give it a shot

It's sooo fast progress, I did everything completely blind and didn't check any guides

[molten grove]

this game is extreme sweaty if u wanna go with max farming efficiency, theres technically infinite scaling

[burnt lichen]

Just dicked around

[molten grove]

i.e u can make as much accounts as u want and play 24hrs aday

which takes me back to how stupid the 6 gold reward system is

[burnt lichen]

Not planning to play the 2nd alt all the time

[lime beacon]

i wouldnt even need an alt roster ngl if i could run 18 gold earning raids on 1 character ngl

[burnt lichen]

Just right now it's 0 progress on my main roster alts unless I swipe 😄

[molten grove]

those who are sweaty will find ways 2 be sweaty and those who are not are not gonna run 6 characters anyway

[molten grove]

xactly

i deleted my bard and blade to make room for valk and dragon knight

i think the only way id ever enjoy playing sup in this game is if they had unavoidable raid wide dmg that mandates a healer who has to heal out of his mind to keep everyone topped up otherwise its 2 boring 4 me

[burnt lichen]

I think it's good it's not like that

It's just WoW

[molten grove]

yeah im a holy trinity type of healer, i hate all other healing or sup systems outside of heals per sec vs mp5

[lime beacon]

i like playing sup personally but i also pull off crazy DRs that save peoples lives, like last week in our strike raid clear I DRed and saved the life of a gunslinger who got knocked on the floor in a bunch of dangerous patterns and it felt so good

[molten grove]

coz its literally dps but for healers

[lime beacon]

i did the same thing in a mord

i like pulling off DRs that save someones life

[burnt lichen]

Ya, it's more fun

Although I am a healer in WoW 😄

[molten grove]

also a healer main

this game converted me to DPSing tho

[burnt lichen]

Same, in Ark I like Reaper a lot

[molten grove]

never played a MMO with combat and raids as good as this so i put up with all the other b.s

[lime beacon]

ive been playing valky sup past like 4 weeks now and ive had some really good runs with my damage reductions

like i had a mordum g3 where i blocked 8 million damage lmao

valk has a really fun reactive DR skill to in salvation site where it triggers like a "block" if boss hits you during it

and increases the duration of the DR

[burnt lichen]

I've had only 1 epic raid so far, but the visibility is sooooooooo bad that I am not sure about that

[lime beacon]

Behemoth is one of the worst ones lmao

and its the epic raid so

[molten grove]

i think the diff is in this game sup "feels" less obvious in impact whereas in games like WoW ur entire party can see their HP bars evaporating and ur basically the deciding factor to whether ur grp wipes or passes irrespective of how well the DPS and tank plays

[lime beacon]

act 2 brel, and act 3 mord are great raids

[molten grove]

but in this game if everyone plays perfectly, u basically just dmg buff bot

[lime beacon]

even good DR timings is kinda a damage buff bot

cause you are helping party greed certain dangerous patterns

[burnt lichen]

Also WoW has global cooldown timer a lot slower

So playing DPS feels a lot better in Ark

[lime beacon]

i do like the Sup DPS part of meter tho

[burnt lichen]

You really gotta put in the button presses

[lime beacon]

i did 500 mill sup dps this week in mord and strike raid

so theoretically i was the highest value player lmao

cause my dps were doing like 300mill

i was basically 2xing everyones damage

[urban ingot]

prob the hardest char in Ark no ?

[lime beacon]

Arcana is

but reapers up there

[molten grove]

Blade also has a really high ceiling

[urban ingot]

I tried reaper a few times still dont understand how to play her lmao , esp her tp

[burnt lichen]

Yeah playing Sorc as my alt is completely different 😄

[molten grove]

they need to differentiate sorc from fmh

[lime beacon]

i hate positionals so much so i just dont play them lmao

[molten grove]

they are too similar

[balmy tendon]

Difference is that sorc gets to mald if the boss fucks off before second DD.

[molten grove]

they fixed it so theres alot of time to cast 2nd DD

[lime beacon]

and the SE gets to mald if boss moves before scaffold guilotine falls

scaffold fall time is long

[molten grove]

i think both SE and Sorc needs a surge/excalibur type of skill

[burnt lichen]

But playing healers in WoW is a lot harder than DPS, that's why I like Reaper too

[balmy tendon]

Not even that bad I play arti and your bombs are even slower.

[molten grove]

spice up the game play abit

yeah i saw arti gameplay their stuff has giga delays its actually ridiculous how low their dps is consdering

[lime beacon]

Supp is easy here kinda, its easy to play median/floor but then your dps do like half the damage they should

like the difference between a ceiling sup and floor play on sup is so crazy

[balmy tendon]

Nah gotta nerf arti again

[molten grove]

smileg8 balance xD

oh shit RE is top, gotta buff Surge so its just as good

meanwhile legacy classes...

[burnt lichen]

Tbh same in WoW

Rank 10 vs rank 100 healer is like 3 years of experience

Out of 1 mil

[lime beacon]

here its less about them healing though, like a ceiling sup will have such good DR and Shields that generally they actually never should need to heal but on top of that they have great uptimes on damage buffs

[burnt lichen]

Lol

[molten grove]

ill be honest, my ability to predict other players is not great coz some ppl do the most whacky shit i ever seen

so when i try predict when 2 shield someone or DR, then the dude does some whack as shit, hella tilt

[burnt lichen]

Don't raid mythic in WoW 😄

Especially in mid tier guilds where there are 2-4 veteran players who are there only cause of friendships

[molten grove]

at least in wow u heal so they took the dmg alrdy and ur just filling the bar back

[lime beacon]

I was helping some learners a few weeks ago with mord HM and om there was this zerker who was just constantly running away from me when i was trying to DR him

[burnt lichen]

Nana

[lime beacon]

then he complained about how hes not getting DR

[burnt lichen]

In WoW a single DPS can wipe 20 players

Easily

Every time

[lime beacon]

to get DR from valks salvation site you gotta be next to me

[molten grove]

always the mayhem zerk xD

[lime beacon]

and i cant fucking chase you everywhere

[molten grove]

newer dps never know wher 2 stand, get no buffs and shields then say sup is bad

[burnt lichen]

Support players are the most oppressed race in the world

[gaunt nexus]

maintenance over in 6 hours?

[molten grove]

i had many cases where some noob sorc was complaining no buff when i had 2 back attackers giga pumping and my buff circle ws always under their feet

[burnt lichen]

Yea

[gaunt nexus]

zamn das a long time

[molten grove]

its coz they busy deleting banned accounts

[gaunt nexus]

ah

[lime beacon]

Sometimes if i was playing with monkeys on my bard 3 hit masters all spread out id just focus buff the one with the highest ilvl and gear lmao

[gaunt nexus]

thats fine

[lime beacon]

meanwhile the other two hit masters on each side of the boss

[gaunt nexus]

im at work for 7h30 still so perfect

[lime beacon]

all spread out in like a triangle

like om you guys can hit from anywhere

just stand next to each other

[molten grove]

hitmaster noobs are always the hardest 2 predict coz stand everywhere

[burnt lichen]

I just changed my sleep schedule to -6 hours

So not perfect 😄

[molten grove]

but front attack noobs are the absolute hardest to support esp if u have 2 back attkers in same pt

[neat solar]

Whats a T skill that I keep reading about?

[lime beacon]

Skill you get from hyper awakening questline

[molten grove]

new skill thats below awakening and above ur strongest skill before

some classes have their T skill equate to like 50% of their entire dps now lul

[lime beacon]

the thing i really like about post break mordum is theres like a very set spot where everyone agrees to stand

lmao

[molten grove]

when i first started palying my sorc gave me all kinds of bad habits and my scrapper with her trex range fixed it all

[gaunt nexus]

im so glad i nuked solo aegir before going to bed at 3am

so now i got 20k gold from the rise of valk event

[molten grove]

ggez

[gaunt nexus]

and today i can do it again for 20k more !! absolute peak

[molten grove]

now u can do it again after reset

[gaunt nexus]

i love lost ark events

only if they made events for lower item levels too 💀

[molten grove]

imagine playing without events

that was me for 2-3yrs

rip bozo

[burnt lichen]

Honestly I think I quit 2 years ago right after isntalling because my screen was full of event shit and I was like fuck that lmao

Had same in Black Desert

[molten grove]

i always liked this games combat and raid but hated everything else inc pt finder

[gaunt nexus]

the asian game special, dont worry you get used to it eventually

[lime beacon]

i think BDOs UI is way worse personally lost arks for a KMMO imo is a lot less overwhelming

[gaunt nexus]

i like this game's raids and how teamwork is essential, then again i dont like the fact that i have to find people to play with and if i screw up we all die 😭

[lime beacon]

like yea you do get overwhelmed at first

[molten grove]

hone to 1680 so u can enjoy getting gate kept for 6 hrs xD

[lime beacon]

but you understand it after a week

i have like 500 hours in BDO

and still dont understand shit in its UI

[molten grove]

POE is the worst

[burnt lichen]

It's like western vs asian design 😄

[molten grove]

poe is western btw

[lime beacon]

tbf lost arks is actually fairly minimal for the genre

[burnt lichen]

You mean path of exile?

[lime beacon]

like arpg usually generally is pretty overwhelming

[molten grove]

yes

[burnt lichen]

Nonono

I was very popular in PoE and one of the richest in the game

Never was overwhelmed

[molten grove]

i h8 poe so much, i had 2 play it coz all my friends always playing it

[burnt lichen]

The UI was very clean

[molten grove]

i fall asleep playing poe fr

[lime beacon]

my problem with poe2 is combat at optimal play is basically just spam one skill over and over

really dont like its combat loop

[burnt lichen]

I didn't even play PoE 2 I just played PoE 1 so much 😄

PoE 1 was so fun at it's peak

[lime beacon]

i actually didnt play the first one lmao but i had a friend tell me id like poe 2

and it was alright i did the campaign like 4 times got to endgame on a few chars

but ive dropped it

[burnt lichen]

Nonono

PoE 1 had some wild shit

[molten grove]

GW2 was good until they shifted focus away from raids, was perfect coz u didnt need 2 do any horizontal, u can log in just 2 raid once a week and be done

[burnt lichen]

PoE 2 is a lot more balanced and slow paced

[molten grove]

id say gw2 was basically the apple of MMOs in how simple it was to get into raiding

[lime beacon]

well so i made lightning ranger and it was just so silly what i was doing i was just spamming lightning arrow over and over and over

and killing everything very very easily lmao

[molten grove]

thats baiscally PoE, all the gameplay is actually in the spreadsheets

once u made ur giga build everthing is expected to melt

[gaunt nexus]

gang hop on RotMG

where death is permanent !!

so everyone plays for themselves during raids its so peak

[molten grove]

that will tilt me so hard lmao

[lime beacon]

hate perma death in games to

[burnt lichen]

Yeah I don't know how it is in PoE 2 now but PoE 1 was really fun because you could scale your character so hard that you could one shot final endgame bosses in literally 1 click

BUT

That was possible only if you had the brains for the market and the brains for the character building

[gaunt nexus]

😭 its fun guys trust

[burnt lichen]

So you could create a MONSTER if you had it in you

But 95% of the players played scrubcore

[molten grove]

lost ark feels like a souls game thats a mmo with snappy combat imo

[lime beacon]

lost ark theres not really like any build diversity at all but i find the combat to be peak and there is still a lot of skill expression in how you use your skills

[burnt lichen]

And the people who 1 clicked bosses were 5-10 out of 500K

[lime beacon]

it also has really good vfx

[gaunt nexus]

true

[molten grove]

but the class balancing is really poor

[gaunt nexus]

i just wish they had some more class diversity

need me a samurai

and not the one from mobile

[burnt lichen]

I actually wish that they made the game classes even harder 😄

[lime beacon]

especially for a UE3 game my friend is a VFX artist for AAA company and he says lost ark has some of the best VFX he has ever seen lmao

[burnt lichen]

I feel like I am slowly getting too good at Reaper too fast

[molten grove]

blade with samurai sword skin kek

[lime beacon]

he works in UE5 and stuff

[gaunt nexus]

kinda but deathblade not fun for me sadly :(

looking at glaivier recently, she looks fun

[molten grove]

do kaz the first, if u pass it then ur good

[lime beacon]

well so another part of the skill expression is like how teresa said its kinda like a souls game where you learn boss patterns and stuff

[burnt lichen]

I'm talking about class skill ceiling, not raid difficulty

[molten grove]

glavier tilts me so hard when i use that starfall skill and boss knocks me mid air

[lime beacon]

class skill ceiling is related to the raid difficulty though

[burnt lichen]

Of course, I mean maximum throughput

[lime beacon]

because like if you dont know boss patterns you are going to be constantly getting knocked out of skills and stuff

[gaunt nexus]

hate akkan gate 1

😭 bro jumped 500 times and i missed my 5000 abilities

so i can attest to that

[molten grove]

akkan g1 is a really good raid

[burnt lichen]

I think auto attacks doing even more damage would be one way

Like nobody auto attacks on Sorc, right?

[molten grove]

the only thing that i h8 about g8 1 is that debuff u have 2 keep purifying

[gaunt nexus]

i want them to make an autoattacking class where the autoattack animation and style changes depending on identity or skill combo usage

would be insnae

[lime beacon]

IDK if you played this game, but it came out this year and was sorta like a souls like action game, khazan the first berserker and honestly lost ark combat kinda reminds me of khazan in the way its like paced and stuff

ofc khazan is like a parry game parry to open up damage windows and stuff

but its like very very fast paced

[molten grove]

lost ark's parry just guard is hard enough 4 me xD

[dim pulsar]

Welp cuz guard is kinda shit of u got bigger ms and u clicked G later then u fail

[molten grove]

thats me

i got OCE ping and they're server merging to NAE, it's actually jover 4 me

[burnt lichen]

Is it like that though? I am pretty sure it can very easily be made to register to what's on your screen, not what the server responds

[dim pulsar]

Welp u gotta click a bit faster now

[lime beacon]

cause a lot of soulsgames i feel their pacing is a bit slower like you wait boss to do their attack pattern dodge dodge then attack, with khazan its like you gotta be aggressive as hell so thats why it sorta reminds me of lost ark

[dim pulsar]

Learned it with 125++ ping nae

[molten grove]

im porlly gonna be on 300ms if servers move to NAE, sigh

[dim pulsar]

Welp then it would be mess for game, every1 click diff time while some g are needed for boss mech to go or no

[burnt lichen]

I think you should experiment it 😄

Start the guard and plug the PC internet 😄

See if it still registers parries as perfect

[molten grove]

mmos are generally not client sided coz everyone needs to see what boss is doing ASAP so if 1 client side had info delay, it would completely fk the server side mechs

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, it can be done, but at the same time kinda why 😄

[still bone]

When are they banning dps meter since they added in-game meter? Asking for a friend

[molten grove]

never

[still bone]

[molten grove]

they dont even bann rmt, they just take the gold away and put u in negative lol

[lime beacon]

iirc they do ban now they give you a seven day for first offense 30 day second and perma 3rd

[molten grove]

oh, finally

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, that goes for all modern games these days. You cannot ban the customers cause they bring in money.

Even in competitive games or games with supposed integrity - LoL, WoW etc.

[lime beacon]

yea they updated the policy a few months back

but honestly you also have to get caught for it

and idk how well they do at catching

or well they look

[burnt lichen]

DOTA made a huge fuss about banning smurfs and banning boosters etc. Everyone praised that OMG it can be done. 1 year later it was back to the same old shit because of money

[molten grove]

vovo using A.I not manual banning so

their banns are.... whacky

sometimes works sometimes nothing

the amount of cs2 cheaters, holy shit

[torpid elbow]

league is doing some big shit against smurfs

[burnt lichen]

Nope, it's just PR

[torpid elbow]

i mean they've already banned your man

pentaless

[molten grove]

good thing it makes no sense to smurf in a pve game like LA xD

[burnt lichen]

100% they're not because it's just not possible

[torpid elbow]

it's easy to detect

level 30 accounts going 21-0 in ranked win loss

[burnt lichen]

Like half the Rioters smurf and play together with esports players in ranked to boost themselves. Or they themselves boost their egirlfriends.

It's just not realistic.

[lime beacon]

say that until you have a 1700 artist with 1100 CP just there to torture the DPS in the party

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, it's PR

[lime beacon]

i swear the ratges get a perverse enjoyment

from ratting

[torpid elbow]

i think this is something they will actually do

[burnt lichen]

They will do it like Dota did

Lots of bans and stuff, then realize it doesn't work and go back to the old stuff

Everyone thinks they are cool with integrity, life goes on

[torpid elbow]

dota isnt owned by tencent as far as im aware

tencent throw money at riot

[burnt lichen]

It's just the nature of the video game

[torpid elbow]

theyll find a way

[burnt lichen]

If you kill less and more skilled players from playing together, nobody will play the game

[torpid elbow]

but the thing is

high elo queues are so long atm so people go play smurf accounts, furthering the long queue times at high elo

killing the part of the community they care about, high elo = pro players = money

also shit players buy more skins

[burnt lichen]

Nah, you got it all wrong

[torpid elbow]

shit players getting shit on = leaving game for good = less money

[burnt lichen]

If tier 3 players who could become pros don't boost or coach, they won't be able to play the game

Boosting is the only reason why competitive LoL even started to exist

You can put every big early Lol players name in Google and find their boosting service or penalty

Some even use the same name in their old forum posts 😄

[torpid elbow]

yeah of course, ratirl etc all of them did it

same with LA

bussing

[burnt lichen]

Yeaps

[torpid elbow]

same with ESO, all big games have/had it but riot i think are cracking down

from their latest dev update video they seemed pretty serious

[burnt lichen]

No, they say it every year

And it's just an impossibility

Doublelift plays with girlfriend on stream. Ban? LOL no

[torpid elbow]

they do, however they also have vanguard etc now, can probably check pcs for accounts lol

[burnt lichen]

Detecting is super easy, that's obvious

[torpid elbow]

he also tres his dick off

against bronzies

also where did general chat go lol

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, a youtuber makes a "coaching" series. Ban?

Zoinks 😄

[torpid elbow]

coaching different

[burnt lichen]

Well there is nobody to help when the game is down 😄

[torpid elbow]

than actually controlling the champs

i tell my friends what to do on discord streams, ban me?

[burnt lichen]

That is why I put coaching in the quotation marks

[torpid elbow]

lol

if they're in teh game with them and they're like master+ sure

[burnt lichen]

It's the "educational bronze to challenger"

[torpid elbow]

it's a tough line to draw

but lkike pentaless going 40-0 to plat on his main smurfing

was deserved

[burnt lichen]

It's only PR

[torpid elbow]

we will have to see, i hope you're wrong

[burnt lichen]

They can very easily change the smurfing and stuff to use that "detection" and put smurfs into smurf que

Which they kinda do already

Overwatch does it as well

That's a practical solution

[torpid elbow]

although ive been dealing with smurfs for 12 years on the rift so for me it's a whatever but my friend i play LA with doesnt want to play league because of smurfs at his level (pre 30)

[burnt lichen]

Excuses

[torpid elbow]

he also thinks the game is shit to play

and would rather watch it

too hard for new players to get into now

[burnt lichen]

That's more like it

Also Apex Legends does anti-smurfs

[torpid elbow]

new players learning what 170 champs do

[burnt lichen]

if you get 5 kills on fresh account, you never play in noob lobbies

You play vs other 5 kill "fresh" players

At low levels

[torpid elbow]

thats goated

but apex is also full of cheaters

i accidentally locked qiyana jungle

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, I was also almost Predator there but stopped cause of cheating

[torpid elbow]

its gg for me

[torpid elbow]

my mate was top rank whatever it is

[burnt lichen]

Predator

Now that game had a serious issue, but it was never solved because 95% players were Fortniters

[torpid elbow]

he stopped cause so many cheaters

[torpid elbow]

we love the for

fort

[burnt lichen]

It's not a diss, just casuals 😄

[gaunt nexus]

brooo apex i want an heirloom sobad

gangggg

i quit recently while at 80 packs

need 20 more and im popping the 100 and if there's no red im gonna be so mad

[burnt lichen]

Nononono

[torpid elbow]

@burnt lichen for you

i had to hit em with the 2/20 run it down mid team was gapped after 2 mins they needed to learn

[burnt lichen]

Inting you have been getting banned for forever, we're talking about smurfing

[graceful vapor]

weak mental

[burnt lichen]

Yeah, I never tilt in video games

I don't understand how it's possible

Just a game lol

[torpid elbow]

oh of course

[torpid elbow]

brother

i have 9 perma'd accounts

dont chat to me about mental

[graceful vapor]

xd

[torpid elbow]

i only did it because my team deserved it

[burnt lichen]

Not a flex : >

[limpid aurora]

there is no mental to chat with anymore

[torpid elbow]

top 1% banned lol player euw

i got my honor restriction removed so i had to stick it to the man

[burnt lichen]

But it's just a game

[torpid elbow]

exactly, so im happy to be getting a 1 week break

LETS GO

[wet moss]

You proved his point

[vernal plaza]

make it 10 and stop

[torpid elbow]

i lost an accounts details

does that count

[burnt lichen]

Checking top logs, I'm wondering what's the reason for big class diversity? Almost never of the same spec twice

[violet dust]

How many hrs till server is up ?

[burnt lichen]

4

[graceful vapor]

the only way to obtain mokoko tokens is to do group raids while being a mokoko?

[cloud pendant]

8 hours maintenance?

wtf

[vast oriole]

Yes

[vast oriole]

#announcements message

[tired cargo]

how many hours left ?

[gaunt condor]

oh shit arna

[tired cargo]

also they are merging servers right ?

[gaunt condor]

same names never disappear

[dim pulsar]

not now

[split crater]

Got relic cd on first node can i swap it with mass increase on pred slayer?

[molten grove]

they are just deleting banned accounts hence taking so long

[graceful vapor]

which lifeskill is best to grind?, i heard logging but materials arent the most expensive ones

[molten grove]

logging

no other life skill allows u to do that 2 ppl thing

[visual oxide]

[weary oyster]

[wide sierra]

Can you Show me the zoe Stats?

[indigo breach]

For now, I would say picking flowers

Act 4 and Kazeros will be in November, and it requires tons of splendid potions to prog.

[dim pulsar]

who said u need splendid?

act 4 isnt HARD, and FINAL kazeros is fine in hard

not that u go TFM so then u "want" to have splendid

[graceful vapor]

yeah but im a returning player, need the gold now, cant afford to save flowers until nov, thanks for the advice

[dim pulsar]

fast gold is logging with other bozo = faster burn energy

then u can craft abidos or just sell timber

[graceful vapor]

for me is better to sell materials as my stronghold setup isnt 100% optimized

[covert bramble]

if ur lvl 30 SH whats the fastest way to get it to lvl 70

[molten grove]

Lol best player in NAW is saying Tai Community Guide is wrong

[dim pulsar]

crafting/research/sending ships

[covert bramble]

is 70 a quick lvl to obtain?

pr itll take months

n shit

[dim pulsar]

no, it takes time
