[vast oriole]

idk if its your case

[spark rock]

for next delete ?

[dim pulsar]

yeah u can "final" delete them after 24h

[vast oriole]

but german and french languages got removed from the game

if you were wondering

[spark rock]

am from cyprus so I bet they dont have greek.. Not that I would use it but nevertheless

[vast oriole]

okok

yeah they dont have greek

only english and spanish now

[spark rock]

english will do

so, I have these for the time being. would you suggest powerpassing pala or sharpshooter ? or should I try valk or bard ? heard that bard is really good to get into raids and stuff easier

[rose wren]

whichever u have fun with

[spark rock]

I havent play the game in ages. Even my "main" so i dont know xD

[vast oriole]

not true anymore, theres too much supports now

[dim pulsar]

welp i would pick valk (good supp and good dps)

[vast oriole]

so no more easy lobby for supps

[dim pulsar]

esp now with solo up to mordum

soo all below 1680 is gonna be run only for VET tokens

and 90% will just go solo mode (sad 10% will do normal raids for unbound gold)

[rose wren]

bootcamp below 1700

[spark rock]

valk it is

[dim pulsar]

well yeah, but u want to deal with BOZOS or just do fast solo?

[livid fossil]

Deal with bozo

[spark rock]

have fun

thats the main goal

@vast oriole what about artist ? You are an artist main, what do you think about the character so far ?

[dim pulsar]

artist is good supp, kinda BAAAAD dps

[vast oriole]

again, not telling you to do a support

you wont have fun

[dim pulsar]

u can do solos with her but its gonna be ....

[limpid moth]

https://tenor.com/view/andrer-bubbles-powerpuff-girls-pogo-stick-gif-17761008

[vast oriole]

with how much supps there is

im juiced af on my artists and i still struggle to get into lobbies

[spark rock]

what does that even mean xD

[vast oriole]

because the lobby pops and it instantly fills the 2 supps

[dim pulsar]

• new players with MORE supps created more supps wont help u finding lobby to have fun as supp

[limpid moth]

https://imgur.com/thaemines-latest-recruit-pops-off-jyi0HJi

[dim pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/lost-ark-artist-painter-gif-26261752

[vast oriole]

her main shielding and meter ability is the artist bouncing on a pogo stick

[spark rock]

Am thinking between mage (cause its broken in most games) and valk (if its not a mainly support spec)

okay, so artist its not the class for me xD

[dim pulsar]

welp they are NOT broken in Lost Ark

they have their issues

valk dps is better than 30% of current DPS (MAIN DPS classes)

or even more

[spark rock]

okay, lastly.. Assassin and its classes ? I am a braindead guy, I main warrior in WOW so thats why I made zerker first pick. I am into close range combat, you know, "manly shit"

[dim pulsar]

DB is out of ur pick, Reaper same, Souleater is kinda ok, idk about Shadowhunter

[vast oriole]

deathblade is hard
reaper is hard
shadowhunter is piss easy
souleater is quite easy too, bit less than shadowhunter

[spark rock]

why out of my pick ?

[vast oriole]

too hard

[dim pulsar]

cuz it require HANDS and BRAIN

avg player will do DOODOO dmg

[spark rock]

is this because of rotation or does it have some sort of tech like strikker (where you have to hit from the back)

[dim pulsar]

back attacks are the "easy" part

it require thinking what u do every fucking second of fight

cuz if u miss 1 skill ur DOOMED

and DB is FAST class

[limpid moth]

db has too many annoying(imo) charge, hold, combo skills

[dim pulsar]

it require raid knowledge to even do good

[limpid moth]

if you're some sort of anime main character go for db

[spark rock]

I enjoyed Strikker (i dont know if breaker is the play) but since assassin is too difficult for a new player, maybe MA is the play ? or Valk ?

[rose wren]

even if u play range, u r basically locked to mid range because of mech, u arent million miles away

[dim pulsar]

i wouldnt recommend playing frontal for newbie

[spark rock]

wdym frontal ?

[dim pulsar]

Breaker is Frontal class (or hitmaster as 2nd spec)

[rose wren]

opposite of backattacter

[dim pulsar]

most attacks are targeted into front so welp

both urs and BOSS

[spark rock]

okay, Valk it is. Support, gooooood dps and not necessarily front/back

unless she has some sort of tech like strikker or whatnot

[dim pulsar]

nah, u use skills (even not hitting boss) and u get meter, then send X to deal BIG dmg

[spark rock]

I see

[dim pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/lost-ark-lost-ark-balkiri-valkyrie-gif-14626652998552737036

[spark rock]

Not gonna lie her personallity really got me thinking "YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS" xDDD

[indigo breach]

Does anyone know what Procyon's Protection and Arcturus' Touch are?

[vast oriole]

arcturus touch is the double loot

procyon prot is a buff that you dont die

pretty much

[indigo breach]

Like escape from death thingy in solo?

[rose wren]

its like mokoko seed boost(new player)

[indigo breach]

Actually that's not only for new player

You can escape from death in Valtan/Vykas/etc. even you don't have mokoko seed

I suppose that buff is specific to the raid or solo mode

[rose wren]

it is since they raise it to 1660 before it drops off

[novel dirge]

hey just loaded lost ark back up again i have 2 guys a paladin and breaker both 1580power level, usually play alone. any sort of advice?

[rose wren]

nope, its purely for 5clears

[indigo breach]

Hmmm

That's strange

Since I can still do that in Akkan, but I've already cleared Akkan for at least 20 times

[rose wren]

do u wanna main either 1 of those 2 u have already or swap to another class? a powerpass is still active, another coming tomrrow, last day to use powerpasss before its gone

[novel dirge]

i dont have a powerpass i think, just check when making new charecter and i didnt have. idk i saw valkyir was good for solo but aslo for group content

idk what i want xd hah

[indigo breach]

You will have one tomorrow

[rose wren]

powerpass in product inventory, manually claim

[indigo breach]

[rose wren]

any class clear every content

[spark rock]

@novel dirge are you new to the game ?

[rose wren]

they're returner

[novel dirge]

played it when it came out but forgot everythin so bassicly

[spark rock]

its funny I was on your spot, 15mins ago xD

[novel dirge]

xd 😄

[spark rock]

hahaha welcome back !

[novel dirge]

hey you 2

[rose jewel]

@novel dirge

[novel dirge]

found it ty !

[spark rock]

I have just used my powerpass, do I just get into chaos dungeon or whats the plan here

[tepid wren]

hmm is there a way to know how much hours i have on the 3 that expire in less than 1 day?

[indigo breach]

Ye

use them up

[novel dirge]

any good classes to start of just to use it

[indigo breach]

Or you lose those 3 potions tomorrow

[spark rock]

I used to play zerker, and now I made a Valk if that helps

[indigo breach]

Save the 30-days potion later

[rose jewel]

whatever you want to use it on

[cloud notch]

play whatever looks fun

[indigo breach]

In my opinion, go to North Kurzan or Rimeria and see

If a class have an outfit that you like, then it's a good class

[rose wren]

they dont hve a class at those ilvls to see

[indigo breach]

oof

[vast oriole]

yes, but in group raids

[indigo breach]

Dam

That's shiny

[royal plaza]

i'm a returning player who never did advanced honing before, with the update tomorrow and advance honing cost nerf, when should I start doing AH on my PowerPass character ? I have no idea if their is a optimal way of doing it

[indigo breach]

1640

of course

[dim pulsar]

ASAP since its CHEAPER than normal (or later at 1660)

[indigo breach]

That pass brings you straightly to 1640

[royal plaza]

so right away at 1640 ? Ok nice

[vast oriole]

nobody did the maths i think

maxroll doesnt have it

prob at like +12

or before idk

[hollow anchor]

Since there is no mentioned of GK in today’s notes, then we will most likely receive another PP Express for guardian knight in mid feb?

[vast oriole]

yes we will

we knew already we wouldnt get gk now

[rose wren]

y would there be stuff about new class now?

[dim pulsar]

This was ur supply of COPIUM for thinking they will give us GK

[indigo breach]

I wonder how they're going to nerf icy brel and act 3

[dim pulsar]

-90% dmg

[indigo breach]

[novel dirge]

wanna hop into the first couple of quests=?

[spark rock]

did a chaos dingeon and died on my first raid

lmao

its pretty late ill play a bit tomorrow as well

wtf is all these ?

[dim pulsar]

?guides

[eternal rain]

can I rush the orange/blue main quests and keep the secondary yellow ones for later or do they disappear ? If they do stay, are they mandatory to 100% a region or no ?

[dim pulsar]

yellow is trash, not important

[eternal rain]

ok

and

when ill be 100% the adventurer's tome

[dim pulsar]

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

[eternal rain]

will I have to do them ?

[dim pulsar]

no

[eternal rain]

ok cool ty

[spark rock]

ill head to bed, thank you all for your help and assistance. I hope to see you in game 🙂

[dim pulsar]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/rethramis-adventure-tome For Tome there is place u go and complete it with this guide

[eternal rain]

thank god theyre not required cuz that shit boring af

[deep scarab]

Probably been asked a lot but with the juiced event we're getting. Would it make more sense to powerpass a fresh character and use the event on a 1620 or use everything on a fresh character.

[vast oriole]

as you want

and event starts at 1640, not 1620 even if its pretty much same shit

[rose wren]

do u want to play more class or have time

[tender flicker]

Use the event on whichever character you want to play more, it'll take it miles ahead of the other character

[deep scarab]

I'm trying to be cost effective with my resources
Working on 3 Paladin (2 atm) and 3 Valkyrie (1 atm)

[rose jewel]

using tomorrow's powerpass will skip all of them (or at least 99% of them) and all important items that are one time will be given to you, you save weeks if not months

for that char*

but important one time key items like skill point pots etc dont need to be obtained again, they are once per roster

[tender flicker]

a 1620 character should be able to move to 1640 for free when they transfer their gear to the kenuat fortress gear

[deep scarab]

Ah okie dokie I got gems for a paladin so I'll make a fresh one and hope I have enough shards

[eternal rain]

why is there gonna be a new powerpass tmr ? Is there a new event or something ?

[tender flicker]

the only consideration there would be if you want to do some AH with your leftover t3 mats since stuff like shards and solars don't transfer

[tender flicker]

1640 pass and event from 1640-1700

[rose wren]

read patchnote

[vast oriole]

because they want to

[deep scarab]

I had a bunch of things to look at the 1620 has a bunch of T3 mats to chew through from paradise or a fresh character starting with nothing. I got annoyed with the last pass being shard locked

[eternal rain]

does using a powerpass skip the chaos dungeons and the content up until the item level it takes you to ?

I don't wanna just skip everything

came back after 3 years

missed grinding

[deep scarab]

Welcome back!

[eternal rain]

ty

[tender flicker]

it skips the story up until then, gives you gear with the ilvl and 70q

[rose wren]

there's no group raiding early on, its all solo

player count doesnt really exist

[eternal rain]

what's "70q" ?

[tender flicker]

quality on gear

more hp on armors, dmg on weps

you can manually do story if you're really story driven, but not really recommended in current state of the game for most people

[vast oriole]

you will get timegated by crafting armors from raids, thats the problem when you dont use pwoerpass

valtan/vykas relic gear takes 2 weeks
brel ancient gear takes 3
akkan ancient gear takes 4 or 5 weeks

[eternal rain]

wait so the powerpass I have in the invetory of my main character says itll expire tomorrow, should I create a new char and use it on it so it doesnt go to "waste" or is that not how it works ?

[vast oriole]

yes you should

[tender flicker]

use it

[vast oriole]

but it will skip some prequests

that are roster

it won't affect much no ?

[oblique prism]

whats the best class? im a begginer

[vast oriole]

well you say you want to do story

sooo

[livid fossil]

Best advice I heard if you have 2 pp use the 1580 one on alt wait for tomorrow and use 1640 pp on main if it low ilvl

[vast oriole]

do you have like 2hrs to watch a video ?

[eternal rain]

oh so itll will skip the story of my main to the same point if I use it on a new char ?

[oblique prism]

yes fs, can u send to me?

[safe patrol]

how/where do i report missing costume and crystalline aura?

[vast oriole]

no

but it will skip some story

[eternal rain]

alr alr

well

not like I care that much abt lore

ty for the help

[vast oriole]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxsj5rCL0ps have fun
note that it misses 1 class, valkyrie
shes pretty much the female version of paladin but shes actually a good dps

[vast oriole]

then use this powerpass on an alt and the powerpass tomorrow on the char you want to main

[oblique prism]

i was thinking to pick valkyre btw, cuz i wanna be usefull in raids late game

[vast oriole]

most valkyries plays dps because theres too much supports

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69e6iKf1FUM& you can watch memo video for dps valk

[oblique prism]

deathblade is bad? i have picked on my main char

[rose jewel]

top tier since day 1, bitch is immune to nerfs

but she has a learning curve

if youre ass she will be ass

[vast oriole]

shes hard to play

well hard to master

big big apm needed

always using skills

[rose jewel]

raid knowledge, class knowledge, the hands and the brain to make her do deeps

easy to play hard af to master

if you want to see someone who actually is GOOD at her watch mattchu gameplay/streams

(he streams right?)

[vast oriole]

yes

[plain sorrel]

Super fun to play but needs good hand to pilot

[oblique prism]

so i can just keep it up my main char? i thougt it was suck

[vast oriole]

80% of deathblades sucks

[rose jewel]

she needs investment and, again, hands

early game she will suck no matter what

later on if you're the one sucking then you have to git gud

[vast oriole]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll7WbK_QTG8 if you want to see

[plain sorrel]

If just play for entertainment and not care about anything else then she is good

[vast oriole]

latest raid, hardest difficulty

[plain sorrel]

Her boobs also look good

[rose jewel]

matt is the goat, probably the best blade of the west

[green agate]

Hi, I'm a returning player and I left out on south Vern with a power level of 1370, would anyone have advice on what I should focus on / start doing?

[vast oriole]

do you want to do the story or you dont care?

[rose jewel]

do you care about the story

fak im slow

[vast oriole]

HAHAHAHAHA

[livid fossil]

I am somewhere on db list like the bottom

[green agate]

I do kind of want to do the story

[green agate]

also ty for this

[rose jewel]

grab the powerpass from your product inventory and use it on a new char you wanna play/test

then tomorrow you get a new and better one

so you have your story char, one alt parked at 1585 and one t4 ready

[vast oriole]

i would suggest to do the story whenever we get the new shit

[rose jewel]

the goal is to use TOMORROW'S pass on whoever you want to MAIN

[vast oriole]

that you dont need to hone to do it

[rose jewel]

also that, was going there

[vast oriole]

we dont know when we get it

ok listen signum ignore me

[livid fossil]

[rose jewel]

you will get stuck for 2 whole months on the story as you have to craft relic, ancient then ancient 2.0 gear, yes it takes 2 months

in a future update, probably january we dont know, you will get honed gear and be immediately ready for the next continent up until 1580 (south vern), saving you those whole 2 months

so you can do it now and suffer due to not having orehas to hone or you can wait to do it later

you can also just make a new char later on, knowledge transfer it to south vern and then continue the story

it will just cost gold to do that and it will be done in a minute

[plain sorrel]

Wait, where does this 1585 pass come from ? Is that from Valk event

[vast oriole]

yes

from august

they extended it till now

[plain sorrel]

I used it already 🤪

Thought i missed something

[vast oriole]

nono xD

[green agate]

alright ty for the help ❤️

[vast oriole]

no worries, if you have any question, just ask here

[wise juniper]

"Weapon damage/dex/power/int/atk power/max hp/defense/hp regen will be absorbed to the basic stats of gear"

Is this going to be a universal addition to everyone's gear and everyone gets the same amount? Or is it going to depend on your elixir level(for example higher attack power roll currently would translate into more)?

[balmy plank]

It will be universal

[wise juniper]

Ok that's good to hear.

[royal plaza]

Will the maintenance really take 8 hours like planned or does they tend to finish it quicker ?

[vast oriole]

depends

sometimes quicker, sometimes longer

dont have too much expectations

patch will be bugged af 100% so

[royal plaza]

thanks

[rose wren]

6days

[primal herald]

the powerpass that we get tmrw that lasts until 4th feb

theres no chance dragon knight comes out before 4th feb right?

and we'll get another powerpass that dragon knight then

[rose wren]

most cases new class +pp+event

[vast oriole]

no

[vast oriole]

yes

[primal herald]

ok ty

[livid fossil]

Inb4 no pp for dragon knight

[lucid axle]

is there a achievement for how many times you killed the FB in kurzan?

[vast oriole]

no

[lucid axle]

ah rip

[plain sorrel]

How will it cost to push from 1640 to 1700 with this event?

[lucid axle]

anyone know if the elixir/trans change is an actual dmg increase?

or does it just increase ur CP lol

[lavish mortar]

Its a CP increase
Possibly also dmg increase tbh

[vast oriole]

we

dont

know

xdd

[plain sorrel]

Saw on imdefild vid he list some reward from RU which has quite a bit of abidos, but i am not sure the total

[rose wren]

he is trash

[maiden locust]

Someone have the ark grid doc link?

[plain sorrel]

I mean he is not great, but informative enough

[vast oriole]

Debatable

[limpid aurora]

50/50 on him sadly, sometimes he is correct. often also misinfo

[vast oriole]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ia6nyPj9chK420nBdfAzf3nHxmOqJaKhTLmD5_AWXfg/edit?usp=drivesdk ?

[minor briar]

AH is super cheap so just look at calc for 19 gear + 80k ish gold from ah

[lucid axle]

oh wait

are events coming Feb?

[vast oriole]

yes with the new class

like always

well feb+

we dont have a date technically

[lucid axle]

isn't new class only a guess?

[vast oriole]

guardian knight ?

kr has her

since 1 week

[lucid axle]

im scrolling top down but so far i haven't see a mention of the new class will be coming with the update

[lavish mortar]

We arent getting new class

[devout cape]

Is there a good video to watch/listen to explaining how to maximize this event thing? Haven’t played since 1460 and don’t want to miss anything.

[lavish mortar]

Kr would be salty probably

[devout cape]

Walking the dog so recommendations to listen to would be nice

[vast oriole]

because we get it next year...

ru gets it in february

prob same for us

[lavish mortar]

Stoopzz made a video on last event iirc
Deathboi did a 0 to hero where he started fresh on EU with the express and had to min max it

[devout cape]

Ok cool so that mid summer event is the same thing? I saw a few videos on that

[rose wren]

i guess its similar but its more t4 this 1, whiles that was 50%

[lavish mortar]

Not the same, but should be very similar

[rose jewel]

ui is different, concept is the same, the game didnt change its structure drastically, if at all

[rose wren]

shall we like play bingo how many people gonna use it on "wrong" charac

[lavish mortar]

At least 1

[lucid axle]

wait so is the only thing not coming this update is the events?

[vast oriole]

what

we get event this week

we dont get balance patch and a bunch of qols

please, read the notes XD

[lucid axle]

oh wait

[plucky drum]

[vast oriole]

yes and no

[lucid axle]

does the bound gold exchange count character bound gold too?

[vast oriole]

yes

[lucid axle]

[split kayak]

If we dont get the t3 gold honing removal now, when usually they patch it up?

[vast oriole]

we dont know

[split kayak]

Was looking forward to tap my alts to t4

[vast oriole]

maybe january

maybe february

maybe march

who knows

there will be a roadmap ont he 23rd

[split kayak]

Kk

Thanks

[lean shoal]

i might be stoopid, but is today the last day to buy the ark pass ?

[split kayak]

Hopefully patched faster

[vast oriole]

[lean shoal]

oki thanks a lot

[plucky drum]

nooo mom... wdym yes and no

[sharp galleon]

Should I turn into gold before or after update

[rose wren]

[devout cape]

Wait the event isn’t live yet?

[rose wren]

soon

[bold geyser]

i mean probably like....12+ hours from now

[rose jewel]

just send them to the shadow realm the news channel

[plain sorrel]

Is Pistoleer dead eye having mana issue ?

I just made another one w/o the 1585 pass and level it to 1430 , to try the bird but i constantly run into mana issue, fwiw, this barely has any Ark Passive. I dont think he run MP either later

[lucid axle]

nothing in guide about mana issues

oh wait

deadeye

[viscid hornet]

are unas weeklies going away tomorrow?

[rose jewel]

tomorrow is reset and theres a huge patch

[viscid hornet]

(removed?)

[rose jewel]

just fuck around for a bit, game will be down for a while

[bold geyser]

doesn't look like it

[vast oriole]

no

[lucid axle]

is act 2 and 3 gonna be full bound like aegir?

[slate geyser]

yes

[vast oriole]

solo yes

[slate geyser]

Aegir group isnt fully bound

[plain sorrel]

In KR is is half tradable half character bound, i like the KR better tbh

[bold geyser]

go play KR they're further along 😄

[neat estuary]

From other region(s), do we know if using the 1640 powerpass activates t4 honing automatically (disabling t3 honing)?

[plain sorrel]

If they allow me to swap i probably do a long time ago

[bold geyser]

unless they give you AH20 its undoubtedly going to be kenuart T4 gear

[neat estuary]

which means t4 AH is activated and i need to AH before activating powerpass if i want to t3?

[bold geyser]

...what item level are you currently?

[lucid axle]

anyone also know how much karam the solo shop gonna give?

[bold geyser]

thought i heard 50

lemme se

[lucid axle]

50 is crazy

[bold geyser]

it would be crazy

[lavish mortar]

It'll be 20-30 probs

[neat estuary]

1610, got 7m shards and ~3k fusion/leaps, might as well use if i can, only got 500k t4 shards

[lavish mortar]

Which is 40-50 a week if doing solo brel

[slate geyser]

yeah then do as much advanced honing as you can.

But with the adv honing nerf, it's not gonna cost as much materials or gold.

[bold geyser]

memo video has 30 karmas, 20 thunder globes

[slate geyser]

yeah its 30

[lucid axle]

30 is not bad though tbf

[slate geyser]

And you can transfer mordum mats to karma to make it faster

[lucid axle]

expected 20

[bold geyser]

unless you're way behind on the story, probably better off just blasting to 1620, AHing as much as you can, and using the powerpass on someone else

[bold geyser]

yeah my bad i think the 50 figure was shop + brel + buy chests

so 50 a week but not fo free 😄

[lucid axle]

got evo karma to do left so ill probably just stop buying chest and let shop clear it

wait i just realized no gold nerfs with these solo raids?

[bold geyser]

feel free to get a second opinion it just sounds like you're pretty close already

[neat estuary]

it would just be a south rimeria skip, but i'm not going to be playing any alts

[bold geyser]

you do you then 😄

[ebon tree]

mt in 3 hour?

[balmy plank]

5 #announcements

[lucid axle]

god mokokos have devious at end of week

[main slate]

When this open ?

[lucid axle]

[bold geyser]

have to do the quest leadup on...gravis?

[lucid axle]

ive had 2 runs tdy where they asked to full afk lol

at some point these mokokos gotta learn the raid

unless they plan to just quit when no mokoko event is up lol

[balmy plank]

Please keep help chat to asking questions

[lucid axle]

oh sry

though i was in discussions

[indigo marten]

gunlancer fav pattern

me tank me burst

[charred condor]

my main is 1691 just came back is it worth to put the pass on it tomorrow express?

[balmy plank]

You put it on the char you want to push. There is no right or wrong

[lucid axle]

how much do you enjoy your main?

because if you want full value you can always make them a alt

[balmy plank]

You get zero honing support out of it but you get a bunch of free mats & stuff like gems so maybe that matters to you. Or you can push a 2nd char easily

[lucid axle]

mainly would say do it for your main if you need gems

otherwise youll get most of the mats overtime espically with paradise

[charred condor]

yea i mean id push an alt passed my main? wdoesnt really make sense

[lucid axle]

well you would still need to hone it there

so itll most likely be the same ilvl as ur main not to long after u push your epxress character to 1700

[bold geyser]

always easier to use a higher character to farm mats for a lower character

[charred condor]

i get it

[bold geyser]

if you liked the alt you could have two mains then

[lucid axle]

how many alts do you have rn?

[silent tide]

please help i scraped a good braclet

[lucid axle]

yeah a lot of ppl do 2 mains in this game

[lucid axle]

gone ggs

[bold geyser]

[charred condor]

all my other characters are 1640

[silent tide]

naaaah

please don't

[lucid axle]

i did the same with my WD

got a replacement one after spending all my pheons

[lucid axle]

well if you already have 6 and you enjoy one of them as much as ur main can always express them

[bold geyser]

up to you, prime time to bring an alt up to relevance, but if you have no interest, you can just full send on your main

[silent tide]

does customer support help with this ?

[bold geyser]

very doubt it

support does

[rose wren]

Try asking ags but usually they do quest related

[lucid axle]

but yeah if you only really play them for gold then id do main

[bold geyser]

good luck then

[charred condor]

where do alcaone's eyes come from?

[lavish mortar]

Hm echi

Or solo mode+ solo mode shop

[obsidian valve]

solo shop ftw.

[livid fossil]

Already getting ready for bugs for the patch known issues already

[obsidian valve]

time to do another file integrity check

[livid fossil]

Wow that list grew

Fast

[balmy plank]

The list just is. It hasnt grown or anything. It just is the list of known issues

[livid fossil]

Oh I didn’t see the others

That’s what i saw

[main slate]

Is tower only give reward 1 time ?

[obsidian valve]

yep unfortunately

[livid fossil]

Rip tower your repetitive floors won’t be missed

[bold geyser]

hell is def worse 😛

but at least shorter

and the disappointment dulls the boredom

[shy stirrup]

is it a good time to return to the game right now? all catchup etc is active?

[tender flicker]

Good new player event starting soon as maintenance finishes

Ballpark 7hrs

[twilit hearth]

sooooo i heard valtan and vykas solo modes got nerfed a good amount is this true? more casual friendly less bs instakill mechanics that only belong in a hard multiplayer raid anyway?

[limpid aurora]

ehh maybe, those solo modes haven't been changed for some time now.

[twilit hearth]

google says theres been changes in december but idk

[tender flicker]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/releases/winters-wrath current patch notes, if its google ai stuff its notoriously inaccurate

[limpid aurora]

what would they even do? Those Solo Modes are already a poor excuse of a Raid.

[twilit hearth]

in november i was dying when literally nothing hit me from what i could see so yea id appreciate a easier fight lol

to me the legion raids even in solo still felt very much like they were still geared torwards a party over a solo mage

[plain geyser]

I also had some problems when doing the vykas one with my sorc

[twilit hearth]

we need to start a petition casters need Invulnerability frames when casting longer spells and a defense boost to be less squishy fr fr

[plain geyser]

you can try to use a reflux build

just to clear vykas

[twilit hearth]

but i like fire

[plain geyser]

You'll prob have a better time doing it

oh, but you can change to igniter later on

[twilit hearth]

did vykas orbs really get removed?

[plain geyser]

but Igniter without some spec is kinda tough

don't think so

If you want some tips, I can try to give you a hand

[twilit hearth]

did valtan really get nerfed in solo mode this month? i neeed to know

and vykas

[plain geyser]

From the patch notes, they weren't

they just tweaked mordum and brelshaza

[twilit hearth]

booooo why google lying to me?

[plain geyser]

google's IA is kinda of funky

[lucid axle]

google AI doesnt really help for a lot of niche things

[twilit hearth]

is it even worth returning right now? powerpass is useless to me as a story player

[plain geyser]

yeah

there is the mokoko express as well

[dim pulsar]

cuz google is trash, and maybe follows KR patches

[plain geyser]

you can use the buffs, so you can do the solo contents

[lucid axle]

honing was made easier to access newer quests if thats what matters

[twilit hearth]

so if i login right now i get new gear or what? because ive been stuck waaaay to long now in november solo legion raiding was waaaay too hard

[plain geyser]

if you login and use the power pass, you'll be brought up to 1620

[dim pulsar]

if i recall, u do story after story, they provide u with gear to do next story up to 1585 for South Kurzan

[plain geyser]

then you can use the mokoko express to go foward

[twilit hearth]

ive been stuck in the angelcity so is there gonna be anything helpful popping up at this point?

[limpid aurora]

that isn't a thing yet

[lucid axle]

well they have been giving plenty

are you gearing yourself correctly maybe?

the solo raids shouldnt be to hard unless your forgetting to build correctly

[plain geyser]

will be in like 5 or 6 hours

sooo...

[twilit hearth]

so no more gearwall finally??? im tired of the grind fr i just wanna quest

[dim pulsar]

fuck

its not here

but solo shop gives u fusions to keep up

[plain geyser]

Vykas is kinda tough for sorcs for whatever reason

[lucid axle]

latest questline i believe is until 1640 so yeah will be free of gold

no need to do dungeons

[lucid axle]

ig new to the game yeah she can be annoying

valtan though was pretty simple

[dim pulsar]

so now u have brel gear? u need to do akkan at 1580 to get his gear, then hone to 1620 (with gold, its DESPAIR zone), then 1640 T4 gear (last story here as Rimeria)

[twilit hearth]

so i dont have to keep getting beatvup by valtan and vykas now?? new quest for gear?

[plain geyser]

well, I'm not actually new, but I had a hard time doing it with igniter

[lucid axle]

unless you do raids blind or not gearing correctly yeah the raids can be tough

[dim pulsar]

well, not yet

[lucid axle]

i had a friend do valtan solo mode during last mokoko event with his skill accidentally at lvl 1 lol

[dim pulsar]

its fucked times now

[lucid axle]

and he cleared it 1st try

[dim pulsar]

they PROMISED lot of QOL, and they delivered 0

[lucid axle]

soon

[twilit hearth]

whyyy i thought december was supposed to finally be when im not stuck

[dim pulsar]

well, if u use PowerPass ur not stuck

[lucid axle]

they said last video that sadly that couldnt include it this patch

but very soon

[dim pulsar]

yeee soooon as proly january

...

[lucid axle]

well with express event you get a free 1640 i think?

[twilit hearth]

again story player so nope literally zero use to me

[dim pulsar]

then u SUFFER

[lucid axle]

yeah

express pass will get you to 1640 for free but it does skip the questline

[dim pulsar]

well, u can do story again with ALT

[lucid axle]

so if you want to run through it youll have to wait till later when they add the t3 silver change

[lucid axle]

still gotta lvl it

[dim pulsar]

i wouldnt WAIT 1 month for Story

[lucid axle]

and its gold

[dim pulsar]

no its not gold, its ur time and mats

[twilit hearth]

wtf servers closed??? is it in maintenance right now???

[dim pulsar]

ye

[lucid axle]

ye big update lol

[dim pulsar]

6h more

[lucid axle]

isnt silver change coming at a later time?

[dim pulsar]

if u use PARADISE its ur TIME

so free

[lucid axle]

oh true

[dim pulsar]

Silver 1580-1620 is proly January

[lucid axle]

doing paradise is honestly not that time cosuming that wont be as much of a toll like doing raids every week

[dim pulsar]

well u get KEYS based on weekly resets, sooo

and u have to PRAY for gold chest inside

u can get 3x gold in single week or 0 chests in 3 weeks

and u have to WAIT to get keys

its fucked up YES, i would use PP for main, and do story with ALT (main wont do ANY story for now) but u wont get spoilers, AND GET NEW REWARDS so u wont waste shit

[lucid axle]

yeah its a great way to get resources for new players

[twilit hearth]

so winters wrath is supposed to make solo legion raids easier hope thats true

[lucid axle]

and you can really just do paradise once and call it a day

[dim pulsar]

no, they only add act2/3 solo

so we can get our shit to 1680 SOLO

[molten grove]

were u the one who was here before on ur sorc trying 2 solo valtan and doing story from scratch?

[twilit hearth]

yep

[dim pulsar]

[molten grove]

rip they are not releasing the MSQ progression content this patch

so if u dont PP then no change for u

[lucid axle]

likely next month

[twilit hearth]

google says the update is gonna make solo raids easier including valtan and vykas what if it does happen?

[lucid axle]

this patch is very good for beginners who like the MMO aspect though

[dim pulsar]

DONT TRUST A SHIT WITH GOOGLE AI

[molten grove]

they arent too difficult to begin with u w ere just not following build guides i think

[dim pulsar]

its -iq using that

[twilit hearth]

ok ok lol

[dim pulsar]

AI if dont have REAL source it basicly LIE to u

[lucid axle]

bro google AI is not gonna know more then what AGS directly tells us

not like they are only telling google this lol

[twilit hearth]

if i need a build guide thats crappy game design

[molten grove]

almost every mmo needs build guide lol

[lucid axle]

google AI probably saw solo valtan in the express event and saw the nerfs to higher tier raids and combined that information

[molten grove]

the only one that doesnt is runescape

[dim pulsar]

well theres skill thats only used to clear chaos dungeons focused on AOE not a single dmg skills

[twilit hearth]

not really mmos worth playing dont make that feel nessesary

[dim pulsar]

and for raids u have to build for single target with skill COUNTER

[molten grove]

and u dont need build guide if u work out ur own build thats good but last i saw it wasnt good coz u didnt read all the skills and conditions and mapped out how it all works etc

[lucid axle]

a lot of mmos have build guides pseudo built into there game just lost ark doesnt have that yet

[molten grove]

for instance ur playing igniter then u should know u need spec and crit spec etc...

[twilit hearth]

anyway i still say i should be able to solve all my combat with big fireballs and walls lol

[dim pulsar]

thats not how Lost Ark works

[molten grove]

u do solve it with fireballs u just didnt build ur char to a point where ur fireballs do giga dmg

[dim pulsar]

[twilit hearth]

ye build is still underconstruction lol

[dim pulsar]

well, shouldnt be, its too simple

[molten grove]

this game alot of dmg sources are multiplicative so if u dont build it right ul do exponentially worse dmg

[lucid axle]

you can play without a guide but youll still need to understand the fundimentals of how builds function

[dim pulsar]

u remember ur ingame name? we can check some stuff

[twilit hearth]

i know i need more level 5 gems thatd probably help

the solo raid for valtan recommended it

[dim pulsar]

welp PowerPass would solve ALL ur issues within 1s of using it

[molten grove]

spec crit stats, using doomsday hitting Z then using ur fireballs in the right sequence, skill points maxed out on ur fire balls, wealth runes to generate meter, ark passive nodes that are helpful, engravings that multiply ur dmg etc...

[dim pulsar]

[rich wing]

hey guys does anyone know how to farm or craft common ship shards without gold or with bound gold ?

[dim pulsar]

u cant

it REQUIRE gold to craft

[twilit hearth]

not rn

[dim pulsar]

u need to farm lifeskill mats, then go to Stronhold and craft ship mats here WITH GOLD

[twilit hearth]

i have no gold

[dim pulsar]

weekly quests gives Tokens that u exchange into gold

?gold

[twilit hearth]

i shouldnt have to do a bunch of busywork just to do more plot

[dim pulsar]

well thats LOST ARK KRMMO

it sucks ur TIME

FULL RNG and TIME

[raw thorn]

🫩

[twilit hearth]

its supposed to improve more soon

[lucid axle]

KR mmos are just like that

[dim pulsar]

soon

[molten grove]

ur right and its getting fixed but in a later patch

[dim pulsar]

"fixed"

[lucid axle]

theres a lot of mmos out there that are tailored for a more NA experience out there

[twilit hearth]

ngl do hope this update is gonna be worth it

[dim pulsar]

its not for u, if u only want to do story

[raw thorn]

it’s not

[molten grove]

this game is mostly a raid simulator tbh

[lucid axle]

its good for ppl who like the rpg aspect

[molten grove]

its cool u wanna play it for the story but rn the patch for it hasnt dropped yet so its pretty bad

[dim pulsar]

and also if u cant complete valtan raid, i dont have good news for ya, raids above 1600 are HARDER, like WAY HARDER

[twilit hearth]

i read its supposed to make solo raids easier though

[lucid axle]

if you like the story the update will most likely do it for you next month

[raw thorn]

🫩

[twilit hearth]

i thought that was supposed to be in december???

[dim pulsar]

but ITS NOT

[lucid axle]

IT WAS

[molten grove]

content in this game isnt equalized so the stronger u get the easier the raid is

[dim pulsar]

u have to live with it

[tender flicker]

we get solo brel and mordum, please disregard google ai stuff

[lucid axle]

but they said they couldnt

[twilit hearth]

been stuck where i couldnt really get much stronger

[dim pulsar]

and u wont get stronger, ur solution is PowerPass

[molten grove]

the problem is she doesnt wanna PP coz it skips the story but she doesnt wanna get stronger just to do the MSQ/story either so shes kinda stuck

[lucid axle]

https://youtu.be/W4yA2YsNVZ4

1:40-1:50

was supposed to

[molten grove]

u can get stronger for sure, last i looked at ur char u had alot of stuff not maxed out for more dmg etc...

[lucid axle]

but they apologized that they couldnt

[dim pulsar]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Nmia4tXicFJb6aiErXfFDeRSI9NAthvU23A8d038_m4/edit?tab=t.0
Here is ur STRONG build, if u dont follow it u will be weak (for LONG TIME)

[lucid axle]

and also if you like the story of mmos you can also just play a story game in itself

though not many are f2p

[twilit hearth]

so is december just useless for story players or what?

[lucid axle]

yeah

most likely next month

[dim pulsar]

not like theres bunch of u guys here, 99,99% is POWERPASS guys

[twilit hearth]

seriously whats taking so dam loooong? i need better gear so i can move on

[dim pulsar]

its like Pink Diamond to see full STORY only player here

[dim pulsar]

ask ags/sg WHY

its all fucked up

[molten grove]

ags overlooked players like u who is interested in story/lore tbh

[plain geyser]

if you build up your sorc according to the link he sent here, you'll have a better time I would say

[twilit hearth]

powerpass isctrash i dont want a huge story skip theres gotta be SOMETHING

[dim pulsar]

THERES NOTHING

just PURE PAIN and SUFFERING

[plain geyser]

there is, build your character better

[molten grove]

nothing in this patch helps u out coz SG is expecting u to use the PP

[lucid axle]

yeah literally nothing other then playing the rpg aspect

[molten grove]

otherwise using guide will help u pass valtan

or at least stream ur fight and i can backseat check what ur doing

coz the only 2 ways to pass the fight is

1. Follow guide to get stronger
2. Play better

[twilit hearth]

i cant the solo raids are too hard unless theres finally changes this time

[dim pulsar]

well if THIS is too hard

its not gonna be EASIER later

[plain geyser]

we can try to help you out

My main is a sorc

[dim pulsar]

Valtan is EASIEST possible RAID they ever released

[plain geyser]

I can give you a few tips once the game comes back online

[twilit hearth]

and one time when i thought i fjnally got a raid group set up i was immidiately abandoned in the dam raid

[lucid axle]

actually argos☝️ 🤓

[plain geyser]

there are quite a few things you need to do to get the max dmg with sorc

[molten grove]

yeah stream yr game and we can assess whether u can even beat the boss with ur gear or not, determine whether ur just too weak or whether we can save it with better piloting

[dim pulsar]

argos was hard, esp g2 and 3

[plain geyser]

and they are not quite so intuitive

[molten grove]

i think on ilvl argos was easier than valtan coz g1 valtan was harder than valtan xD

[lucid axle]

eh i remember it being relatively easily outside of g2 when the split mech happened

[twilit hearth]

i dont care about max damage i just want help so i can finally craft new gear T-T

[plain geyser]

agreed

[dim pulsar]

nope, dps check in g2 was actually hard to get

[plain geyser]

that's what we are saying

we can help you

[twilit hearth]

ty

[plain geyser]

just wait for the game to come back online

[lucid axle]

its not about minmaxing ur dmg its helping you increase your overall dmg to make clearing the raid easier

[plain geyser]

and we can work something out

[twilit hearth]

the game sucks at explaining stuff

[lucid axle]

it does

[plain geyser]

yeah

[lucid axle]

lol

[dim pulsar]

thats KRMMOS neat part is they DONT EXPLAIN anything

[twilit hearth]

where winds meet definitly has the better tutorial lol

[lucid axle]

they are chinese based i think so different

[plain geyser]

that's why we have forums and guides off game

[dim pulsar]

welp its NEWEST possible game, with marketing thats FOR WEST players (so with guides), KRMMO is only for KR region made

we only play it cuz ags helpped to ship it here

[twilit hearth]

ngl i dont do well with text dumps i learn by doing

[molten grove]

tbh every game sux at explaining stuff i always watch utube when playing any game

[lucid axle]

eh sometimes they do it fine

but im always concerned about the minmaxing so thats why i look at videos

[dim pulsar]

btw even WOW doesnt explain stuff like u would want, u need full guides for every fucking class and specs

[molten grove]

i think the only game i just knew how to play in 5s was runescape

referring to MMOs

[lucid axle]

this game leaves you clueless though

[plain geyser]

I'm like that with youtube explanations, every raid I did, I did learning by myself

[twilit hearth]

i watched videos to but valtan and vykas still killed me when it looked like literally nothing hit me i think it was a bug or maybe lag but idk

[plain geyser]

Kazeros was a tough one

[molten grove]

dw when u stream we will tell u

[plain geyser]

It could be a mech

[twilit hearth]

i dont stream though i dont have a set up for that lol

[dim pulsar]

100% mech

or u cant see her patterns

[molten grove]

cant help u if we cant see what happened or what u did

[plain geyser]

on discord?

[twilit hearth]

can mechanics randomly bug out and go invisible?

[dim pulsar]

no

[molten grove]

im sure its not a bug and u just died to a mech

[plain geyser]

but only mechs Ik you

[molten grove]

but we cant see if u dont stream so cant say

[lucid axle]

maybe its the mech where you need to hide behdin the pillars?

[twilit hearth]

literally didnt look like i was hit at all a few times and died to nothing

[molten grove]

boss doesnt have 2 hit u to kill u

not doing a mech can kill u etc

[lucid axle]

it doesnt really tell you that you need to stand behind them

[dim pulsar]

u CANT die to nothing, SOLOS dont deal 99% of ur hp, unless u dont wear Ability Stone (that gives u like 100k hp)

[molten grove]

im sure u died to a mech jsut dunno which mech

[lucid axle]

whats your characters name?

[plain geyser]

it was prob a mech

[twilit hearth]

thats why i think it was a bug idk what it was but i died out of nowhere

[dim pulsar]

U CANT DIE randomly

bruh

u have to FAIL something to die in solo

[plain geyser]

Valtan has some attacks

[lucid axle]

yeah nothing one shots in raids outside of major mechanics of a boss

[twilit hearth]

can if a animation doesnt work how it should and show the attack happening lol

[plain geyser]

that count as a mech

[pure echo]

Probably lagspike then

[plain geyser]

if you don't have an orb

you die

[dim pulsar]

if u cant tell WHEN it was we CANT help u

[plain geyser]

there are parts that he can topple you out of the arena

it's ik as well

portaozinho chato

[dim pulsar]

Thats G1 FIRST mech, if u FAILED here, ur 100% sure u will be DEAD

[twilit hearth]

i think it was valtans orb phase that killed me

[plain geyser]

soo

[dim pulsar]

orb phase?

[plain geyser]

you need to break the arena

[dim pulsar]

sooo first "mech"

[plain geyser]

and grab the orb

that'll fall

from the towera

towers

[lucid axle]

ye

[dim pulsar]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/solo-raids-guide-collection#valtan-header

Watch THIS GUIDE PLS

[plain geyser]

the orb will save you from the instakill

[lucid axle]

its not very obvious but says it in the dialgoue i think?

[molten grove]

use balthor sidereal if u wanna survive with no orb

[plain geyser]

you need to make valtan break the arena

yourlself can't do it

there are some patterns in wich he hits the arena and breaks everything

[molten grove]

when he charges he breaks arena but u have to aim him towards the pillar u also need to use destruction skills when u see a circle or ul do low dmg coz ur not following guide aka ur dmg is alrdy low

[plain geyser]

yep

[twilit hearth]

is mokoko challenge express good if you dont want to skip the story with powerpass?

[plain geyser]

if you have a character 1640

[molten grove]

u cant even use it if u dont pp

[plain geyser]

yeah

if you don't no

[dim pulsar]

ur wasting pp and express now, not using it

[molten grove]

i recommend u use pp and event then make a second char for the msq/lore

and do arkesia tour

[twilit hearth]

i dont want to story skip the devs should have thought of this by now

[dim pulsar]

THEY DONT CARE

u like it or no, they dont care

thats how KR games work

[molten grove]

actually they do care and solved the issue we just behind on patch

but they didnt care for like 7 yrs xD

[lucid axle]

the story on each of your characters will have different progression

having 1 character skip while the one you actually care about can do it still

[twilit hearth]

im trying to progress on my main rn

[dim pulsar]

just use PP on alt then, and work on ur "main" as u play

just pls, dont waste free support to 1640

[twilit hearth]

no not using the storyskip

[dim pulsar]

imagine u use pp and ONLY do chaos to farm mats

its win win

u dont look at anything

if u dont do it, just suffering is ahead of u

[molten grove]

i dont think she caresa bout progression xD

[dim pulsar]

then Suffering it is

i would quit untill next patch then

[twilit hearth]

its saying mokoko express can be done without powerpass

[dim pulsar]

IF u have 1640 CHAR

[twilit hearth]

ngl i forgot my current gear score

[tender flicker]

Manually catching up to the powerpass level will likely take several months as the game currently is.

[dim pulsar]

u DONT have 1640 if u struggle to get valtan done

[tender flicker]

Gearing from valtan to akkan alone is like ~2months.

You’re free to play however you want, games are meant to be fun. People just want you to be aware of how things work in this game. Lot of fomo and the need to be efficient due to the nature of the game.

[dim pulsar]

more, min 3-4months

[tender flicker]

Sure, for a fresh account that’s probably more realistic

[dim pulsar]

since he have to either FARM fusions, or buy in market/ solo shop

[lucid axle]

if story is all you care about too theres a lot great story based games out there that dont have the grindy aspect of a mmorpg

this is kinda expected for a free game

its always a pay wall for dlcs

or timegated progression

diablo or poe might be more your style

[tender flicker]

100% not Poe for a story driven player

[lucid axle]

i actually havent played much poe

is its story bad?

[tender flicker]

It’s not the emphasis, majority of the focus is on the end game grind. You’d have to full clear story zones looking for lore pieces and stuff.

Most people blitz the campaign and and spend weeks/months in the end game

[lucid axle]

well yeah most mmoprogs arent story focused

but being able to just do it without having to grind for it

is my point

even when they make the t3 honing changes your still gonna have to grind for the mats to do get to the story

[honest ledge]

Might be discussed already in this channel but was the express we were supposed get in December not something that could go on any character no matter the ilvl ? Did I make up them saying that or did they say that a month ago

[tender flicker]

Like can it go on characters above the 1700?

[honest ledge]

The patch notes they posted suggest no but I feel like I’m the November notes or catching up with arkesia they mentioned it was a express for anyone no matter the ilvl

[dim pulsar]

Kazeros Path was whatever ilvl, EXPRESS was always locked behind some ilvl

this time its 1640 (powerpass ilvl) - 1700, (u can even be 1700.99) but 1701 is DOODOO

[twilit hearth]

ngl i like poe but story feels kinda meeeeh didnt really grab me so far

[lucid axle]

im debating here if i want to start a new alt and replace one of my main alts

[tender flicker]

If you have a good earner you’re not feeling, go for it

[lucid axle]

warframe is another example

oh

gacha games technically too

outside of the predatory gacha systems they tend to actually have ok stories in my opinion

monster hunter

[twilit hearth]

warframe i loooooooove the combat but story? again kinda eeeeeh

[lucid axle]

a lot of mmos exist with long stories without needing to wait on progression

yeah but fomr what i hear once you get pretty deep in the game it gets pretty good

i only played a small bit and the story was meh

[dim pulsar]

guys, talks about other games not in this channel

[lucid axle]

sry they just seemed like they arent very keen on KR mmos so was just saying theres a lot of mmos out there that dont lock story behind progression

but yeah once t3 change comes you wont be needing to do raids to do story but you still would need to be doing the honing aspect

[dim pulsar]

honing will start at 1585 (with akkan gear)

[lucid axle]

i’m not really feeling one of them and also got really shit rng taps on it BUT 100 quality weapon

and its not that i don’t like the class its just im not very good with it

[tender flicker]

If it’s not fun I’d ditch it anyways, unless you think more karma or ark grid will fix it

Oh

What class?

[lucid axle]

DS SS

[dim pulsar]

SS is easy

[lucid axle]

it’s a bit annoying how i have to hit my hawk to get buff instead of getting buff on use

[dim pulsar]

play loyal

[lucid axle]

boss tps hawk misses have to build meter again

[dim pulsar]

umm dont play DS then

[lucid axle]

true but i also hate drill

[dim pulsar]

loyal is chill

it is what it is

[lucid axle]

i have like almost 1 of every class which is why there’s other options i can kinda go to but 0 t4 experience with any of them so i might just hate it

maybe i just wait till free 1640 comes to tell

though that would also mean i would need to lvl 70 them all

[tender flicker]

I guess, just kinda awkward not knowing when we get that change

[lucid axle]

can really only hope for next month

[lucid axle]

is the shitty pseudo chaos gate thing still a thing for getting from 1640-1660?

[lucid axle]

it was supposed to come this patch but they said they couldn’t

so can only guess

if it’s not in 2 months

i’m throwing a fit

[brisk topaz]

with the new class in feb for sure

since we did not get it today

[knotty compass]

how's the reaper lookin' nowadays / with the upcoming balance? i'm torn in between valk and reaper for today

[dim pulsar]

u like sweeeeeeeeting?

[knotty compass]

ye idm breaking my fingers

[dim pulsar]

its good, but need HANDS

welp we are 2 balance shit behind soooo

[knotty compass]

both lunar and hunger? I mean i've seen hunger doin aight-ish but I think i'd enjoy lunar more

[dim pulsar]

lunar is bigger thats sure

idk about ark grid tho

[knotty compass]

thanks for the input

[plain sorrel]

Reaper has the best legendary coomer skin

[dim pulsar]

but CAN u buy?

cuz i cant even buy shit for arty

[plain sorrel]

Leggo skin sell for 100k to 200k a piece on the AH , the coomer skin above is legendary s3

[dim pulsar]

glad u can buy lego skins for u class

[plain sorrel]

I bought for my main GS and a few of my favorite alt, mostly assansin classes

But i dont have a reaper

[livid fossil]

Reaper feels rough to play

[dim pulsar]

yeah lunar is welp, hunger is breaking ur fingers

[livid fossil]

I think it’s like you must hit back attack or super feelsbadman

Game on

https://tenor.com/view/waynes-world-game-on-gif-12634109

[minor lake]

i only made a reaper for the hyper animation

[livid fossil]

So once it over just turn the game off

[minor lake]

not wrong

especially because i only solo mode stuff

but i gotta find a class to put all resources into feel like i always just use powerpass on a different class hone it a bit then stop

[faint cedar]

At this state of the game, a big hindrance on the top end is books and gems due to gold cost for dmg

[minor lake]

yeah thats something ill probably never min max ill just get lucky whenever the game decides to drop me a red book

[faint cedar]

If you don’t have a solidified main you’re funneling, finding a nice 2 gem class could help alleviate some of that

[minor lake]

and gem wise just fusing up to whatever i get and using solo gems for now

[faint cedar]

Something like shadow hunter for example

[minor lake]

oh true i forgot about those transforming classes

[faint cedar]

SH is very easy to play, that’s gonna be my powerpass char actually

[minor lake]

having 4 assassins on the basic rosters seems excessive but maybe its time for one of them to go to the chopping block

[faint cedar]

Only excessive if you belief that for yourself honestly nothing wrong with it haha

[minor lake]

true ive saw the screenshots of the pages and pages of 1 class

[plain sorrel]

Yeah both SH build is quite fun so very good variety

[faint cedar]

Play what’s fun, but if you’re worried about resources there’s options out there

[chrome elk]

Im returning after a long break. What cardset(s) should I go for now? I have LoS30 and Lostwind Cliff30 already.

[faint cedar]

To help

Lost wind for supp Los for dmg

The relevant dps card sets out there are earth fire and lightning; LOS if you have nothing else

[chrome elk]

What is the newest raid? Earth?

[minor briar]

latest is los, earth for extra stagger if you have tho

[faint cedar]

Think it depends based on which one you’re doing, I don’t have so I don’t switch

[minor briar]

act 2 lightning, act 3 los and earth, act 4 los and fire, 1720 guardian lightning, 1700 gr fire

so, kinda just get wat you get

and save selects for later

[chrome elk]

Okay, thanks a lot for the info 🙂

[faint cedar]

Activating at a lower card number also depends on party cards and supp cards

(I think)

But when in doubt I just force Los

[split kayak]

adv honing nerf alrd in today's update right?

[faint cedar]

According to the notes I saw, I think so

[split kayak]

[plain sorrel]

Trixion 6 set if using fishing sorc

[minor lake]

do they usually put any new hair customisations in the notes or do they leave it unsaid if they were going to add it?

[raw thorn]

yea they do afaik

[minor lake]

ah i see thank you, i wonder if they add any this patch but im always on the no side to whenever they add nice things

[plucky drum]

Has the nerf been dropped ;-;
