bro doing valtan for 2hrs ๐Ÿ™

unique fox
#

well. a lot of the characters I realized aren't as fun as others but it takes 24hr to delete

#

and its not like im losing anything from deleting since all my roster is under 1400

smoky sun
bold geyser
#

what about the memories

unique fox
#

wym

bold geyser
#

i don't delete my old chars i'm not a monster ๐Ÿ˜„

unique fox
#

game only gives u 6 slots and I think I already paid for 2 slots

#

so its delete or you cant make new character

static jungle
#

oh just got this , i should prob sell it right

bold geyser
#

nah you good

#

hope you find chars you like ๐Ÿ˜„

bold geyser
smoky sun
static jungle
#

okies

bold geyser
#

unless that's the normal price

smoky sun
#

.

#

that's the evidence

static jungle
#

oh wtf

bold geyser
static jungle
#

2k current price

bold geyser
#

i mean in EU ๐Ÿ˜„

static jungle
#

oh

#

my b, brain a bit mushy at this point

unique fox
#

deleting sorceress, soulfist, gunlance, and gunsling and going to make EW deadeye, lunar reaper, empress arcana, and pinaccle glavier
I decided to keep surge db since it was probably the most fun out of all my old characters

static jungle
smoky sun
#

arcana ๐Ÿ’€

static jungle
#

if you havent tried it please do, tis so so so much fun.

unique fox
#

idk if ill have room XD

smoky sun
unique fox
#

Arcana is easily one of the best picks you can make in lost ark, good luck finding a similar class in diablo or PoE

#

isnt RE just smash keyboard class

smoky sun
#

if ya want to be floor lord then sure

#

you got a rotation to stick to

#

like surge does

#

just qol of being able to tp on back attack

unique fox
#

Something is very clearly wrong if 95% of the population is RE

#

most other classes its at least 70-30

static jungle
#

okay, 39k life energy on excavations lets see how much gold.

unique fox
#

or 50-50

smoky sun
#

bcs surge sucks

#

as of current

bold geyser
#

i tried surge when i started, didn't like it, like RE, been that every since

smoky sun
#

like the only raid where it's one of the better ones it's mordum G3

unique fox
#

in 2022 I loved surge though

#

most fun I had in lost ark

smoky sun
#

bcs in 2022 it was better than RE

bold geyser
#

RE isn't THAT much different

unique fox
#

I might just play lunar as my assassin spec

#

it seems neat

#

you won't find a class like lunar in diablo, PoE, or other arpg games

bold geyser
#

wait a minute...

split kayak
#

current surge is just kek

lucid axle
#

what background is this from?

split kayak
#

i swapped to re too

lucid axle
smoky sun
#

or tfm

static jungle
#

22.3k for 39k life energy, underwhelming tbh.

bold geyser
#

can always try to craft

lucid axle
static jungle
#

hm

unique fox
#

How come glaive is bottom 6 most played, I remember it being suuuuuper popular on release

#

pinnacle seemed like spec

#

deadeye being low makes sense, but it seems like it got insane QoL buffs since 2022

unique fox
#

some youtube video recommended it

#

I loved playing gunslinger in 2022, but deadeye seems much more fun

#

especially with those QoL changes

#

back then your face had to be making contact with the bosses cheeks to get full damage from shotgun

#

and you got insane mobility buffs now

static jungle
#

hmm

lucid axle
#

then ever classes phases out and just becomes more play the more meta

marsh grove
lucid axle
#

most ppl only got 6 slots so ppl always be replacing with new express events

static jungle
#

hmm

#

blue charm still ๐Ÿ˜ญ

marsh grove
#

first thing I did on my alt accounts was get relic charm

#

before pushing main skill

lucid axle
#

glav is still a good class though

unique fox
#

I was checking out pinnacle and it seems like a super cool idea, I remember red gunlancer was so novel because you can outright block and counterattack a boss skill and pinnacle can do the same
it also seems like its very similar to deadeye and gunslinger with switching forms

faint cedar
#

play rate doesnt equate to class quality though

#

so i would just play what you find fun, everythings viable

bold geyser
#

killin it

lucid axle
#

otherwise just play what you enjoy

unique fox
#

I'm really a thrill seeker when it comes to novel class ideas and intricacies

#

Won't find arcana in another ARPG

static jungle
#

is hyper awakening once per boss or per the whole gate?

lucid axle
#

arcana is a tough class espically learning the game still but if you want do dive into it u do u

lucid axle
marsh grove
#

arcana has an unbelievable dmg ceiling

unique fox
#

i'll no doubt be completely terrible at using the cards correctly for a while, but I imagine itll be fun to learn

lucid axle
#

also if ur not finding the game difficult at this stage playing a difficult class now doesnt hurt

#

though a lot of new players tend to struggle a bit so would recommend starting with a easier class for now

lucid axle
unique fox
#

that and I had a conversation with some guys yesterday and apparently my high hopes for solo mode were a bit dashed, since solo mode in the west turned out to be more of a hand holding mode because people complainted it was too hard
so playing difficult classes will help keep me interested too

faint cedar
unique fox
#

probably going to boost EW deadeye with the event pass since I played a ton of gunslinger in 2022

Then going to have fun just leveling up an empress arcana and lunar reaper

faint cedar
#

you chose probably the two most masochistic classes

#

but good luck

#

if its fun its fun, but they're uh yeah

unique fox
#

you get a ton of mobility with deadeye, so its really just chasing the back whenever your shotgun skills are up. The difficulty seems to come down to execution rather than complicated mechanics

faint cedar
#

nah i meant reaper and arcana

unique fox
#

arcana ima have to learn all the cards, but the rotation doesn't seem particularly complex

#

And is reaper really that much harder than all the other assassins

#

high APM is a given

#

Do cool stuff while invisible buffing a red skill

faint cedar
#

reaper is a class you need to sit down and dedicate time to learning

#

i have a friend that mains him, i dont play it myself, i opted for db

unique fox
#

that sounds great, won't find reaper in a diablo game thats for sure

#

if I wanted easy I'd go play D4 or PoE

faint cedar
#

its on the upper end for skill ceiling for sure, i but i cant tell you why i just stayed clear

#

i got too many high apm classes already

lavish mortar
#

@vast oriole woof

unique fox
#

I'll probably never be upper echelon in the class or lost ark, but I do enjoy learning and using my head

#

solo mode means I won't grief others either as I level it up from scratch

faint cedar
#

unfortunately theres a lot of changes to the way a class plays, you dont get a real feel for endgame til 1680 with karma

#

so just take that into consideration

unique fox
#

Whats karma?

faint cedar
#

a power progression system that unlocks at 1670 with act 2 (brel)

unique fox
#

makes sense, wouldn't want the class to feel the same at low level compared to high ilvl

#

numbers going up only does so much

lucid axle
#

espicallt the 4th line

#

sometimes its jsut QOL

#

sometimes it changes your classes rotations

unique fox
#

thats awesome

#

i'm pretty excited to play again, thought about this game a lot over the years

#

February its going to be super easy to hone to 1580 or whatever too

static jungle
#

are extra rewards worth it?

marsh grove
#

depends on the char

#

and the raid

static jungle
#

oh hm.

#

i think it was overture g1 and 2 normal

#

but i left

marsh grove
#

on the event char?

#

then no dont think u need it

static jungle
#

yeah.

marsh grove
#

eyes in the solo shop anyways

#

and u can buy box after u clear

#

from raid menu

static jungle
#

what do you mean eyes

#

like look at solo shop, or are eyes an item lol

marsh grove
#

adv honing material

lucid axle
#

item

marsh grove
#

the drop fro echi HM

#

or did u just do solo

static jungle
#

oh hm

lucid axle
#

i think you only need 100 of the red eyes and thats it

#

so usually you can just wait

static jungle
#

hmm okies

#

i cant find them on any shops atm

#

but its fine i think

marsh grove
#

whats ur ign

static jungle
#

Shapisqt

static jungle
#

ohhh

lavish groveBOT
marsh grove
#

Im looking at your gear

static jungle
#

should i get all of this?

marsh grove
#

you need 36 more eyes to unlock AH 11-20 on the rest of your pieces

lucid axle
#

the ones you need

marsh grove
#

so check how many eyes u have now

static jungle
lucid axle
#

other then the behemoth scales i think the rest you need to complete a system

static jungle
#

so 29?

marsh grove
#

maybe you already unlocked tempering on some and didnt tap it yet

#

either way buy eyes each week from shop

#

for now

static jungle
#

i have 3 left that still need ot temper

marsh grove
#

but are they unlocked?

static jungle
#

3 cannot tempers.

#

not unlocked yet

marsh grove
#

ah yeah so

#

you'll want to run echi HM (overature) next week

#

or if u wanna wait longer just use solo raid shop eyes

static jungle
#

any of these worth it?

marsh grove
#

you should be buying 15-18 books

#

orange AH scrolls

#

red stones, leapstones, shards, fusion

static jungle
#

i think i boght the entire honing materials tab

#

should i be buying materials from the ships outside the docks too?

marsh grove
#

uhh

#

I never touch that personally

#

pretty sure its expensive

lucid axle
#

not really worth

static jungle
#

yeah it isnt much

lucid axle
#

yeah thats nothing

#

not worth it thats like 1 chaos dungeons worth for like a shit ton of pirate coins lol

marsh grove
#

dont waste pirate coins

#

on that sht

static jungle
#

i just spent 120k buying songs lmao

#

what are they good for other than random stuff?

unique fox
#

dont we get songs for free from returning player thing

static jungle
#

i meant jukebox oens

#

(wheres the jukebox lmao)

marsh grove
static jungle
#

ohhh

#

damn

#

ugh

marsh grove
#

its not a problem if you get lucky but

#

my zerker acc got gated for 1.5 months on coins

#

for bloodclaw enlighenment pot

#

cause of shit rng

static jungle
#

man just messed up then

#

oh no

marsh grove
#

it could end up being fine

#

hopefully

static jungle
#

mhm.

marsh grove
#

๐Ÿคž

noble garden
#

wait how do you get enlightment potion with pirate coins

balmy tendon
#

what engravings does dragon knight use?

noble garden
#

im sorry that doesnt say much to me lol, i just came back to the game

lucid axle
static jungle
#

uh how do you ope nthis? hm

lucid axle
#

and to complete one of them you need to collect a fragments which can be dropped from bottles that are rng related

minor briar
lucid axle
#

and is weekly gated in how much you can buy

unique fox
#

Is soulfist fun?
You pop the excitement meter and reset all cooldowns, so its sort of a bursty-uptime class?

lucid axle
#

eh

#

idk

#

looking at the guide

#

it makes my head hurt

#

but then i asked in there channel

#

and they say wdym its easier

lucid axle
#

so who knows shruge

minor briar
#

eo is like cdr buff

unique fox
#

haha forbidden knowledge

faint cedar
#

sf mains are obviously gonna be biased

#

lol

minor briar
static jungle
#

ohh

lucid axle
#

like i aint remmebering this 1:1

minor briar
#

probs not that bad once u learn it

#

but it is a turn off fs

faint cedar
#

looks like colors just go together

lucid axle
#

the rotation isnt static some of the skills has to be used within a specific window because something about CDRs aligning

unique fox
#

What did they do to the great surge, it still baffles my mind

lucid axle
#

which idk why it matters but apparently its important lol

faint cedar
#

RE is just better thats all

lucid axle
#

just RE cooked with a new build and became the go to

faint cedar
#

in 99% of content

lucid axle
#

easier to manage when learning new raids and has just as high as a cieling as surge

unique fox
#

Hopefully devs fix, NA/EU is like 5 months behind with balance patches on average yeah?

faint cedar
#

i mean balancing patches dont change that

lucid axle
#

well 5 months = 1 sometimes 2 patches

#

not that much

faint cedar
#

RE still gonna be better in 3 patches

minor briar
#

balancing dev lead is a RE main /j

faint cedar
#

RE is only really broken if you can run the 8 dmg build

#

standard is pretty tame

minor briar
#

not rly

lucid axle
#

they were about the same before ark grid

faint cedar
#

not really

minor briar
#

8d just does more dmg, both have insane uptime ability which is why re is so strong

faint cedar
#

i mean so does wf aero, but ikwym

unique fox
#

Does EO really have a 50 second downtime from level 3 hype?

faint cedar
#

it does have an innate cd reset mech

lucid axle
#

EO you enter different lvls of hype like theres no tmrw

static jungle
#

is there a way to move with wasd in this game?

lucid axle
#

what buttons are you gonna use for your skills and items then

#

also dont think so

unique fox
#

Enter new level of hype > Skill CD's reset > Use all your skills > Pop next hype

My question is, does it really take 50 seconds from hype3 > Cooldown period > hype 1?

lucid axle
faint cedar
#

if ur asking class specific questions u should ask in their channel for accurate info

lucid axle
#

better to watch a vid

#

yeah

unique fox
#

im watching rn but its year old

unique fox
#

lemme see, thanks for the vid

lucid axle
#

i think cycling from 0 -> 3 then cycling back again takes that long

static jungle
#

could anyone show me how they have their raid frames setup? im having trouble making it look good.

unique fox
#

Woah

#

The cooldown period on spirit recovery is actually really fast

lucid axle
unique fox
#

like, 10-15 seconds

static jungle
#

oof i moved it around already i wonder if i can reset.

lucid axle
#

like if you see the vid i just sent usually most ppl have there tabs looking like that during raid

livid fossil
#

Since the last challenge is mordumb do I get my agier pieces first then do 10-20
Ah on the agier pieces

lucid axle
#

doesnt matter i think

unique fox
#

EO plays a lot differently than I thought, but it makes sense. Looks like level 1 is skipped entirely, 4 skills used on lvl 2, then obviously stay level 3

lucid axle
#

can do AH beforehand

livid fossil
#

Okay so before transferring

lucid axle
#

but if youre doing on ilvl i think you drag out the time

#

i believe

#

hype managment depends on the raid difficulty

unique fox
#

also that energy bar is constantly hovering between 0-100, definitely not a high apm class

#

starved for energy/mana

minor briar
#

off burst is like 30-40s or smth based on ur spec

lucid axle
#

yeah believe RS is the long hype CD

#

EO is shorter

unique fox
#

idk Im just trying to learn whats up

bold geyser
lucid axle
#

idk how accurate this is but apparently the build in the guide isnt really playable below 1680

#

not sure why shruge

unique fox
#

I might delete my soulfist its only like 1250 ilvl

lucid axle
#

can always come back to with a express event comes around again

unique fox
#

EO was supposed to be the high difficulty spec, right?

lucid axle
#

compared to RS yeah its supposed to be harder

unique fox
#

But it seems like the gameplay loop is just pop hype 2, do high impact abilities, pop hype 3, use every skill on your bar, then spirit recovery phase

#

you do have to back attack, which is fair

lucid axle
#

back attack isnt manditory but some skills do have that affix

unique fox
#

I must be missing something critical, because even in game its labeled as a high difficulty class

lucid axle
#

in game difficulties are stupid

#

ignore them

unique fox
#

I respect the effort the devs put into trying to get a difficulty gauge, but it sounds like its not maintained or respected

#

lol

lucid axle
#

yeah for the most part its very generic

#

its basically telling you the difficulty of a class at entry lvl

unique fox
#

and you made good point, I can always come back later if I decide I want one

lucid axle
#

so as soon as you get to later in the game it goes out the window

#

yeah and espicially with the t3 change coming in feb making a class with t4 gear wont be hard

unique fox
#

very excited to see those t3 changes

#

Wait, are all characters 1250 ilvl now?
This one was supposed to be like 460

bold geyser
#

they revamped the lower levels, i dunno where things landed

unique fox
#

This is so hilarious, I don't think the style book existed back in 2022

#

XD

bold geyser
#

maybe in KR

#

bute yeah

NO

bold geyser

there it is

unique fox
bold geyser
#

lmao

unique fox
#

I couldn't breathe for a few seconds

#

also apparently my 460 ilvl character is now 1250, that's quite interesting
There was some server-wide catch up mechanic or something, they're still wearing tier 2 accessories

bold geyser
#

tier 1 (or tier 2?) was removed

unique fox
#

So do characters just have tier 3 gear on creation now?

bold geyser
#

like i said i'm not sure exactly what the progression looks like now, sorry ๐Ÿ™‚

#

only that they flattened some stuff out

balmy plank
#

Tier 1 & 2 still exist but they were reworked and any chars in tier 2 were bumped up to 1250/tier 3

ocean parcel
#

as Valk main,. which one do i pick for DPS, and whichs ones for support?

soft gorge
#

Hi... Could someone help me make Echidna Hard?

lucid axle
#

for sup i think its the 4tha dn 6th one

ocean parcel
paper walrus
ocean parcel
paper walrus
#

specifically adrenaline doesnt show because it only applies the crit when its fully stacked

#

other engravings that just give crit rate like precise dagger will show up

ocean parcel
#

I mean pulverize instaad of master?

paper walrus
#

i would take one point off of keen and put it into limit break then run master

#

closer to 100 and you dotn have to play keen

ocean parcel
static jungle
#

is there a downside to picking the use 3x tickets?

balmy plank
#

Lucky rooms won't give x3 rewards

static jungle
#

oh. so better to just run them one at a time if i have time?

balmy plank
#

If you have time to run more then yes do x1 entry

lucid axle
#

in the same tab u showed me before

limpid aurora
#

are you using a swift pet?

lucid axle
#

they probably just dont have enough card sets/potions

ocean parcel
#

im suppose to use potions?

lucid axle
#

no dw about it

#

certain card set can give bonuses

#

crit points is one of them

#

youll get them overtime

lucid axle
#

ur CR should be at around 100.52 when ur capped

ocean parcel
#

okay ty

unique fox
#

omg we only do one chaos dungeon per day now?

#

Didn't we used to have to do 3 a day?

limpid aurora
#

2

paper walrus
#

2 chaos, 2 guardians

#

3 unas

lucid axle
bold geyser
#

They've shuffled things around a bunch who can know, maybe we're getting fleeced KEKW

unique fox
#

Don't you have to collect a soul after you do a guardian raid?

#

aint seeing nothing

dim pulsar
#

nope

ashen shuttle
#

how many max point ark leap point??

dim pulsar
#

Karma Rank6 lvl21 (should be total of 70 points)

ashen shuttle
dim pulsar
#

no

ashen shuttle
#

does karma things rng too?

dim pulsar
#

no

#

just tap tap tap

#

until u get to Rank6 lvl21

bold geyser
#

going up each level is success %

#

but there isn't anything you can do to make it better, so tap tap tap NPCMechanicShrug

#

processed destiny stones are free taps, gold taps will eventually pity, so you'll get there sooner or later

lucid axle
#

to many ppl probably forgetting to pick up before leaving KEKW

unique fox
#

you know how many times I forgot

#

lol

#

I forgot enough times that I distinctly remember to pick up the soul after being away since 2022

#

The moment the boss died and I didn't see a glowy blue orb I was like "Something's wrong here"

lucid axle
#

yeha ive done it a few to many times so its a weclome change lol

unique fox
#

Im so broke on gold I cant even sell the platinum skin chest I got before departing

#

I need gold to story skip my new toons

#

I guess I'll use powerpass on deadeye since I played slinger in 22 and I can earn gold there

#

Make gold with deadeye while I figure out what my main is going to be

#

Then I can solo mode all the content I missed, since I quit at like 1400 ilvl

#

I think I did argos and thats it

tender flicker
#

recommend doing some research on classes you may like and using pass on them rather than deciding main later if possible

#

current progression without powerpass is pretty slow and you'll be locked into farming for gear sets for a while

unique fox
#

Part of the issue is I want to experience all that content I missed

#

Like, ive done basically nothing

dim pulsar
#

i mean next powerpass is in february

#

soo 1,5m from now

#

and since u only had 1400ilvl char

#

1400-1620 will take 3months+

tender flicker
#

unless you're a story driven player, I wouldn't say you're missing a whole lot

split kayak
#

what about 1580 char

unique fox
#

yeah but what about the fights though

split kayak
#

will it take 1.5mo

dim pulsar
split kayak
#

to 1620

#

ah alrd akkan set

dim pulsar
#
  • honing (rng) so kinda 4/5 weeks
split kayak
dim pulsar
#

and 200k+++ gold to tap

split kayak
unique fox
#

arent they resigning t3 in feb

dim pulsar
#

pray for the gods of paradise for gold

dim pulsar
#

sooo

#

still 1,5m of waiting time

split kayak
#

i'll pray on my 1.2k free taps

dim pulsar
#

to get to 1585ilvl

lucid axle
#

wdym by resigning

dim pulsar
#

then again honing (still mats) to 1620

lucid axle
#

isnt it just removing gold cost

unique fox
#

oop, redesigning

#

rework

#

fix

lucid axle
#

yeah you can run through the older raids in solo with another character

#

try to do them as bare bone as possible if u want to make it hard ig

unique fox
#

yeah thats the plan

#

plus im so rusty that I'll need the easier fights to wake up lol

#

skipping to modern content seems like a bold move

lucid axle
#

it is

#

a big reason why a lot of new players are usually pretty shit lol

#

but we handle it through free tokens lol

unique fox
#

Since I did all my progression with gunsling, I'm pretty confident boosting a EW Deadeye, I feel like I could figure it out and not be missing much

#

then I can level things like Arcana and learn more slowly

lucid axle
#

outside of boss mechs they introduced 2 new raid mechs since they released in NA

#

clashing

#

and guarding

#

clashing youll do when you reach thaemine

#

guards happen after aegir

unique fox
#

spam button really fast?

lucid axle
#

clash is where you just press the key at the right time

split kayak
#

think clash as playing osu

lucid axle
#

ppl like to refer to it as osu

#

but ur not really aiming

unique fox
#

aaaa I got you, I remember seeing vykas and people had to hit keys to not be seduced or something

split kayak
#

just no aim, only press timing

#

no, different

#

that typing still exist

lucid axle
#

yeah typing still occurs not every raid

unique fox
#

so clashing and typing are different

split kayak
#

guard is when the boss/ground glows yellow

unique fox
#

is that when you do weak point or something?

lucid axle
#

this is what clashing looks liek

split kayak

similar to counter, but you dont hit the boss

engraving change makes game so much better

#

imagine if game launched with this

#

I wonder how much of this QoL would've kept people engaged from 2022 onward

#

didn't we have like millions of daily players once

dim pulsar
#

they bounced not for engr, but for amount of homework and grind they had to do to be on par with WHALES (dumb fomo shit)

unique fox
#

for me it was how much the game fights you

dim pulsar
#

shruge thats KR games

unique fox
#

yeah, but look how nice the game is now!

#

I don't even need blue/purple books

dim pulsar
#

its still bad

unique fox
#

stone engraving isn't super critical

dim pulsar
#

better but still bad

trail hound
#

Hello, trying to get back into the game, dowloaded it last night, but the game won't launch. All I see is EAC screen and then nothing happens after. I tried a bunch of things i've seen online but nothing really helped

unique fox
#

it takes like 3 minutes to launch for me

#

I see nothing on my screen during that time

#

not even an icon on the task bar

trail hound
#

Hmm, but steam button for "Play" reappears so i'd think the game is not trying to open

lucid axle
trail hound
#

Besides i think it would have opened by now, i didnt shut off the pc or anything

unique fox
#

maybe its the anti cheat

lucid axle
#

but rn relic books is basically x2 worse then legendaries were back then

#

but yeah more accessable at least

unique fox
#

i probably just wont get relic books haha

lucid axle
#

by the time you catch up if thats what you plan to do itll probably be not as bad

#

its healing rn

#

slowly

unique fox
#

even purple books sold for hundreds

#

each

#

holy crap, the daily unas basically gone now

#

that was a lot of chores once upon a time

lucid axle
#

yeah chores is just 1 guardian and 1 chaos

unique fox
#

@trail houndCheck the anti-cheat is my guess, verify file integ, or reinstall

#

check permissions

#

restart your pc

#

reinstall should be last step

trail hound
#

reinstall when i just installed it '-['

unique fox
#

after you try everything else

#

its not a lost ark thing, its a computer thing

trail hound
#

I can tell its anticheat but i cant tell whats its problem

unique fox
#

did you turn your PC off and on again

trail hound
#

yes

#

twice

unique fox
#

you already a natural at this

trail hound
#

i also tried launching as administrator

unique fox
#

verify file integrity might be worth a try, but itll eat a lot of time

trail hound
#

did that too

#

game files are fine

unique fox
#

What OS?

trail hound
#

w11

unique fox
#

You can try setting compatibility mode to win10, but I think im grasping at straws here

trail hound
#

๐Ÿฅด

#

the god damn anticheats these days

unique fox
#

Honestly

#

try to find logs

#

like a txt file or something

#

Surely there must be SOME clues

trail hound
#

idk, the anticheat folder has no logs, just a Settings.json

dim pulsar
unique fox
#

bro already did all the obvious troubleshooting steps

#

did you try praying to the omnissiah (machine god)

#

thats what cloud flare did last month

dim pulsar
trail hound
#

like which country? or

dim pulsar
#

ya

trail hound
#

Serbia

dim pulsar
#

shouldnt be issue to play Susge

trail hound
#

ive played before, when it launched the first time

dim pulsar
#

only loa does this ?

trail hound
#

yeah

dim pulsar
#

mmmm

#

go to loa folder and remove EAC

#

then try to verify files again

#

should redownload

trail hound
#

k

unique fox
#

hope you problem fix

#

this line of thinking seems hopeful, replacing the EAC

#

Ive seen this fix issues before, but what makes no sense is steam supposedly checks file hashes for integrity, so if the EAC was damaged, then the hash should change

#

collisions should never happen

#

Maybe steam check works differently

#

no, I just looked it up and steam definitely uses checksums

trail hound
#

Looks like nothing changed

lucid axle
#

how much time are you giving the game to launch?

dim pulsar
#

can u try launching within game folder?

lucid axle
#

maybe asking the most obvious question

#

but the game takes forever to launch

#

for everyone

dim pulsar
trail hound
#

well it has time to launch this whole time ^^

lucid axle
#

oh the EAC pop up doesnt come?

trail hound
#

it does

#

this is the last EAC log i believe

lucid axle
#

im not good with this stuff so i cant really be of help shruge

#

just the basics

dim pulsar
#

sooo crashing

#

what pc u have? current gpu/windows updated?

trail hound
#

radeon RX 590

dim pulsar
#

adrenaline up to date?

trail hound
#

yep

primal herald
#

does selka give the honing reset new gear at normal mode too (1710 lvl) or hard mode (1730) only?

dim pulsar
#

Hard+Nightmare only

primal herald
#

hm

#

so ig normal mode doesnt give anything

lucid axle
#

what does she even give anyways

dim pulsar
primal herald
#

oh cores think

lucid axle
#

oh wait she gives cores

primal herald
#

is every new raid gonna give cores now? lol

dim pulsar
primal herald
#

cool

lucid axle
#

i honestly dont get why they couldnt just drop us crafting materials to then craft cores why does it have to be rng deadge

dim pulsar
#

idk what the next shadow will give

lucid axle
#

isnt this like the first time theyve done a rng based drop with bosses?

#

i swear its always been heres material to then unlock this new system

#

instead of heres this new system get rngd on kid

#

ig elixirs and trans were like that

dim pulsar
#

well u had Elixirs, epic/lege but all lines inside were RNG

#

trans taps were omega fucked

#

somehow they like to piss of us

lucid axle
#

thank god i quit during that time lol

#

cant imagine doing elixirs and trans on release

paper walrus
#

i liked both before they simplified it

dim pulsar
#

trans was fun, but ....

#

elixirs when u picked lines was GIGA, then they give u 4 set lines (and this was TRASH)

lucid axle
#

always hate when minmaxing comes down to rng

#

shit sucks

#

its like your 95% there

#

but youll never see the 100%

#

btw the soft reset coming with the new raid is it only for 1730+?

#

or do 1730 also get affected

dim pulsar
#

1730 (that is if u can clear her KEK )

lucid axle
#

so no reason to push past 1730 id assume

#

unless you got nothing better to do lol

dim pulsar
#

yep no reason

#

well u can free tap so

#

and still gotta do ah40 so sometimes u will be way over 1730

lucid axle
#

its just new gear right?

dim pulsar
#

same resets like brel/akkan

lucid axle
#

does it do anything or is it just a stat buff kinda thing

dim pulsar
#

squish +25->+19 so gives u more tappies to do, better % rates to tap

#

idk if they will give us +5/10/0 ilvl more after transfer

lucid axle
#

ah thats not to bad though

#

guess its time to spam all my gold into engravings for now then ig

#

probably gonna hoard them for a bit and then mass buy

paper walrus
#

its not a good idea to mass buy

lucid axle
#

really?

#

itll be like a month before i have enough gold to max out 1 book

dim pulsar
#

market may crash

lucid axle
#

so i was thinking it wouldnt make to much of a difference

dim pulsar
#

i dont buy more than 1 book at a time

lucid axle
#

when does KR usually get there news?

#

is it random or is it kinda like us where its near the end of hte month

dim pulsar
#

ask kr streamers

#

big news every loaon

#

and all info they get is AFTER maint done

#

not before like us KEKW

lucid axle
#

intresting Susge

dim pulsar
#

or here

#

if u want to check stuff

lucid axle
#

id assume theyd announce it before they patch it in

sweet pivot
#

how can I proc all my paradise item skills early in the fight? they all seem to proc after 7-8 seconds into the boss

dim pulsar
#

rng

#
  • getting to SS all ur +9 or above items will help
sweet pivot
#

I have them above +9 and almost full SS

dim pulsar
#

then its RNG

#

as always KEKW

sweet pivot
#

dayum..

lucid axle
#

hmmm

#

honestly outside of a gold frog i doubt KR will do anything about engravings anytime soon

#

and i dont think thaemine is gonna change the price much

unique fox
#

I knew there were logs

#

oh wow that was way up there though

lucid axle
#

wdym

unique fox
#

So guys, the content I should do with my powerpass character are
Arkesia Tour
Solo mode Raid
Gold Islands
Chaos Gates
Chaos Dung/Raids

dim pulsar
#

Bloodclaw too

lucid axle
#

uhhh gold islands idk iโ€™ve never done them before shruge

unique fox
#

Still have to wait for characters to delete, so I'll have to wait like 20 hours

#

Im broke so I need gold

unique fox
#

whats bloodclaw

lucid axle
#

bloodclaw, skill points, runes

lucid axle
#

once you get 2 they will reward you with a enlightenment potion

unique fox
#

huh

lucid axle
#

bloodclaw and skill points have a time gated part to them so better to do them early

#

and some rng

lucid axle
#

itโ€™ll be a lot of gold if you try to push multiple alts rn

#

how i did it when i came back was i just played 6 characters to the point where it starts costing gold (1585 at this moment) with my main only pushing and using express event whenever up to push a alt

unique fox
#

im pushing alts until it starts to cost gold

#

I think my 1400 honing still cost silver

lucid axle
#

yeah 1585 rn is where you should stop for a alt

#

not worth pushing until t3 change

#

then honestly up to u to push

#

rn you had to wait for express events to come and that sucked balls

#

feb is where itโ€™ll be great for a lot of new players who want to build a early roster fast

#

fun for me too though tbh get to play on my alt alts wahoo

#

have you used the express yet?

#

or are you holding off for now

unique fox
#

cant

lucid axle
#

oh why?

unique fox
#

my roster full, have to wait for stuff to delete

#

so many useless characters

#

lol

lucid axle
#

can always use on one of the characters ur currently playing

#

unless you donโ€™t want to main them

#

usually your first character you express will end up being your main

unique fox
#

Gunsling is fun, but I think deadeye is going to be funner

lucid axle
#

if you want to be cost efficient

unique fox
#

I'm confident deadeye will at least be fun, so its going to be my current boost

#

idk if it will be main or not

lucid axle
#

honestly gunslinger and dead eye confuses me to much to many buttons KEKW

unique fox
#

dont they have same amount of buttons

lucid axle
#

yeah itโ€™s always hard to say at the start especially if you didnโ€™t play a lot during valtan and vykas

unique fox
#

the many buttons are fun, but honestly I think its less complicated than people think

#

it just takes slightly longer to memorize

lucid axle
#

well a lot of the time ur not using half of them lol

#

most are utility reasons like weak point or stagger

#

or mobility

cobalt edge
#

does it matter which one I pick? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

unique fox
#

gunslings prio sniper
EW priority shotgun

Gunsling can land shots anywhere
EW needs to hit the back

lucid axle
lucid axle
cobalt edge
lucid axle
#

can you show SS

#

idk which cores

unique fox
#

Any build that gives you less abilities is suspicious imo
I can't imagine myself playing pistoleer

lucid axle
#

iโ€™d say take stability but depends on what your at with you gems rn

lucid axle
cobalt edge
#

is stability 8, solid 9 and immuntability 10?

lucid axle
#

idk i play a lot of pretty simple classes in terms of knowledge needed to play the class

lucid axle
#

top down

#

8/9/10

cobalt edge
#

why would anyone take a 10? xD

unique fox
#

I like to sweat and learn

Simpler classes are probably smarter to play if you want to get ahead

molten grove
lucid axle
cobalt edge
#

oh ok :v

unique fox
#

I was watching this vid and it talked about it

molten grove
lucid axle
#

as of rn ppl usually go corrosion and stability to get 17P on all there cores

#

but after that you start min maxing stats and points in which you go for the others

molten grove
#

out of all the content u can do, paradise is about as important as ur 3 weekly raids if ur rng is good

lucid axle
#

yeah paradise is insane

unique fox
#

damn ok

#

paradise seem easy like dungeon too

lucid axle
#

makes you able to hone without needing to touch AH

#

and saves you a bunch of gold through other progression systems

#

that would otherwise cost a lot

lucid axle
#

in which then it gets difficult on the minmaxing rotations and getting lucky with crits

molten grove
lucid axle
#

but you can do the bare minimum and get similar rewards as every other player whoโ€™s competing

lucid axle
molten grove
lucid axle
#

but most ppl donโ€™t do that lol

molten grove
#

honestly u arent practicing much in solo mode

#

the mode is just too ez

lucid axle
#

youโ€™re still getting every pattern you see in NM

molten grove
#

maybe if ur like brand new its useful but when ur about q1 lvl its pretty dud

lucid axle
#

just less punishing

molten grove
#

thats the prob, it doesnt even have all the patterns of nm, it takes away all the hard patterns

lucid axle
#

mechs is the only major difference

lucid axle
molten grove
lucid axle
#

ik some raids have some added patterns in HM compared to NM

#

but i didnโ€™t know it also did the same for NM to solo

lucid axle
#

and you wonโ€™t be able to do them in solo

molten grove
#

solo mode dont even have all the nm mechs its literally a joke of a raid, i advocated that solo mode be the same as nm but some players think its 2 hard so fine have solo be that ez so anyone can do it but now we're missing a training mode

lucid axle
#

well yeah ofc

sweet pivot
#

quick question, can you get elysian tickets in the kell and frost keys?

lucid axle
#

dmg and health being lower kinda sucks but mechs i can understand

molten grove
#

my biggest headache is knowing which mech im bad at and not being able to practice that mech its just stupid

lucid axle
#

well tbh some mechs arenโ€™t hard to get good at

#

like act 4

#

the only mech you need to get comfortable with is the jump rope one

#

otherwise they are all pretty straight forward it just comes down to recognizing it

molten grove
#

theres quite a few, its just now days ppl do so much dps mechs get skipped

lucid axle
#

i honestly have a harder time getting used to regular patterns then mechs

lucid axle
#

though learning to greed mordum took a while to get good at

molten grove
lucid axle
#

ok well then yeah thatโ€™s a bit different

molten grove
#

just like overall raid exp

lucid axle
#

i would like to see that too

#

being able to recognize patterns through practice instead of speedrunning is always appreciated

#

i have 2 characters running act 4 now so maybe iโ€™ll get better with that

#

kaz though deadge

molten grove
#

yeah in kaz theres an obvious af pattern that pugs generally fail and its that 900 mech with the infinite blue circles

lucid axle
#

only got good at mordum after running it with 6 alts a week for a bit KEKW

#

was mid for the longest time

molten grove
unique fox
#

any ideas what I can sell a platinum skin chest for, it was for preordering the game
before I left in 2022, I spent every gold I had thinking the chest would scale better with time than raw gold

lucid axle
#

a practice mode without mechs would be nice UwU

#

with mechs would be even better

#

but then learning pubs will have no point

molten grove
#

would be nice if they just did the flex raid with a.i so i can enter raid solo and practice it to infinity if i want bymyself with a.i

#

learning pubs is for when ur comfortable with ur solo learnings and now ur rdy 2 play in a grp

lucid axle
#

if they made flex raids like solo where itโ€™s just bound gold instead i can see it working

#

because pubs i feel should exist still

#

otherwise no one will be doing pubs

lucid axle
#

can you send a SS of it?

molten grove
#

if u think about learning grps logically, if player A is stuck on mech C and players B-Z are all past that mech, player A either cannot learn that mech coz hes floor pov and its skipped passed or rng didnt give the mech to player A and he doesnt get to learn it that week.

Then if grp are all learners, they learn at diff speeds so player A could take 20x longer than player C which annoys the fk outta player C coz hes repeating the same mech he alrdy knows etc...

unique fox
lucid axle
#

erm in game

unique fox
#

the chest I bought is the skins only

lucid axle
#

idk whatโ€™s in it

unique fox
#

these apparently

molten grove
#

dude just look at the market and choose the most expensive option in box

#

or just look at the box on the market

lucid axle
#

outside of mounts i donโ€™t think ppl value them for rarity

molten grove
#

i kno the mount is very expensive

#

but the skins vary wildly in price

unique fox
#

its a chest so it can be any skin

ashen shuttle
#

how many max enlighment i can get if i did'nt completed this two quest?

tough plover
#

hello i need help if anyone can guide me i play re db but when i go into paradise it uses surge by default how can i switch to re even tho my mass preset says re

molten grove
#

then look at the chest price on market

unique fox
#

0 gold

#

no data

lucid axle
molten grove
#

then just enter 999999999 and the a.i will put the max gold it thinks its worth and just put it for that amount and lower it by 10% every week

lucid axle
#

you can check prices but you wonโ€™t be able to put it up

unique fox
#

theres a price AI?

molten grove
#

nah the game has an inbuilt ai system

#

it wont allow u to put any price higher than what it thinks its worth

lucid axle
#

its scuffed lol

molten grove
#

go try put a skin forsale for 1mill it wont let u and caps u out at w/e it thinks skin is worth, can be 120k or w/e

can? sure, is it wise? hell no

#

also depen on ur luck and gold generation

ashen shuttle
#

say that im unemployed

dim pulsar
#

u wont have enough resources to tap it to 1700

#

also u WONT have even PROPER setups on them

ashen shuttle
dim pulsar
#

20ah is +- 150-250k gold

#

x4 this, then add gold costs for normal +18s

#

now add amount of fusions u would need

#

boom ur fucked on all fronts

#

unless u SWIPE $$

#

but thats dumb

ashen shuttle
#

hmmmmm

dim pulsar
#

on avg ur 4x 1700 chars would need like 2/3m gold, and add 250k in gold shop gems and accessories also x4 = more than u would generate in next half a year

#

possible? yeah (with OMEGA lucky taps) resonable? hell no

#

we dont just get 1700 chars, we wait for express

ashen shuttle
#

aright then

dim pulsar
#

i know u want 6 chars at 1700 like most of us, but that simply isnt valid for ANY new koko here

we had multiple expresses to get us here

I'd suggest you tap 1660 on the 1640's

bcs it's pretty free

books dirty cheap and high odds

aright then

but for 1700 you will need to wait
saving up hell mats can help

with the event buffs going from 1640 to 1700 cost me like 700k gold

Hey, for DPS ability stones, are there differences in dmg gain and/or combat power for different engravings? Like the ones I use on my Valk are Adrenaline, Grudge, Raid Captain, KBW, Hit Master

dim pulsar

dmg gain surely, same with cp, but its not that much of a concern
