[eternal talon]

Thats why i pref tarka with db

Since durabilty is bs

[solid kraken]

ye but tarka doesnt really do anything special

with DB

[eternal talon]

Well appling fire

[solid kraken]

well every hero applies fire

with pink db

[eternal talon]

I meant

Sjill

Skill

Ult

All that

[solid kraken]

yeah but it just makes value of pink DB less

like if u play already char with so many burns

adding more burns is whatever

[eternal talon]

Nope. U get fire matter faster

U add more value

To both hero

And weapon

Pink db

The matter gets faster

[solid kraken]

the main point of pink DB

is deny heals/pops

[eternal talon]

To apply the other stuff

@solid kraken belvie me

If u good with tarka

Try pink db with him

Its good

Alot

I done it

For fun

Also

Zai apply fire also

She likes him

They both add value to themselfs

And pink db

[solid kraken]

if u go from 0 burn to lots of burn

u gain heal denial

if u go from lots of burn to even more of burn

u just gain more dmg

personally i play zai most of the time

in rift

[eternal talon]

Try it once bro

[eternal talon]

More reason

I said zai

Because ik its ur main

Like ur photo literrly says it

XD

[solid kraken]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1168202676354433064.png?size=160&name=CuteZai

[eternal talon]

Bro try it with zai

[astral citrus]

Ah

[eternal talon]

I gurrente u will have fun

[eternal talon]

Woke up?

Rip flying mole

Its dead

Got killed silently by 24e

They assassinted it

[solid kraken]

@astral citrus time for screaming matari sticker

[eternal talon]

Rn i honestly think grapple is better

[solid kraken]

to be honest

if u play zai

[solid kraken]

u can still run perfectly good with normal grapple

even against trio

[eternal talon]

@solid kraken with inor also

He good

[solid kraken]

the mole hook into air strat is kinda inconsistent

[eternal talon]

Its dead

[solid kraken]

because it relies on enemy not having bow with rubrics

[astral citrus]

Also this significantly nerfs looting and gold acquisition time

[eternal talon]

What

[astral citrus]

In bot lobbies

[eternal talon]

Where u saw it?

[solid kraken]

really?

[astral citrus]

No it's indirectly through the mole hook nerf

[solid kraken]

i just use normal grapple

and move fast

[eternal talon]

Ohhhh

[solid kraken]

if u put grapple distance rubrics with it

[eternal talon]

U mean mole hook assasniton

[solid kraken]

its even faster

[eternal talon]

See this naes

[astral citrus]

Normal grapple is a bit slower in certain areas

Mole Hook was agnostic, Grapple was super fast in center of map and Tang, but slower in open deserts and fields

[solid kraken]

ye i guess

pretty much

but if u take grapple distance 2x

it should be mega fast

everywhere

[astral citrus]

Fair

[eternal talon]

Right now

Grapple

[astral citrus]

I'll have to do some testing

[eternal talon]

Is alive

[eternal talon]

Naes

See video

7 sec

[astral citrus]

I saw it

It's pretty bad

[solid kraken]

i hope they put some buffs

to solo/duo play

with this change

[eternal talon]

It was massacred

[astral citrus]

I need to test the double grapple distance

But honestly Mole Hook needs a bit of compensation

[eternal talon]

Was not nerfed

[solid kraken]

but as far as running goes

[eternal talon]

Nerfed hammerd

[solid kraken]

zai with normal grapple is perfectly good

[astral citrus]

If Mole hook is meant for stealth at least they can lower the sound and increase traveling speed underground

So solos and duos still have a chance

But given 24Es CN letter they really dislike rat gameplay

[solid kraken]

solos and duos

need an actual

win condition

not just crutching with grapple

give them exclusive twig portal

that can be bought after doing X quests

[astral citrus]

Something of the sort with Mole Hook buffs to stealth aspect

Like we already get less rewards for giving up most gold chests and half the quests

And going for cabinets, camps, and defend boss quest

[solid kraken]

i mean obviously solo/duo play mega sucks

there is no way to argue around it

but they need to buff it like

balance it

[astral citrus]

The solo/duo exclusive escape after a specific condition would be nice

[solid kraken]

as some sort

of

higher risk/higher reward mode

or something

[astral citrus]

Yeah

[solid kraken]

ok u are solo/duo, u die to trios

but u get stuff like search speed buff

more dmg to mobs

etc

[astral citrus]

Yeah exactly

[solid kraken]

make it fully fledged experience

[astral citrus]

Some people say buff solo damage or give solo damage reduction, I disagree because that will be abused by teamers and griefers

[solid kraken]

not just "well should have played trios"

i disagree with buffing dmg/DR i think

[astral citrus]

Giving evasive and stealth options solo should be a valid way of play

[solid kraken]

like ok if u play trio

ye u go fighting

for quest portal

or rift tuner

but if u play solo/duo

there needs to be some options

coz right now

if u are solo

and a trio camps

both portals

its GG

unless u can get twig

and this will be no bueno

if they are watching map

or at least

move quest portal

and rift tuner

entirely separate

from each other

so camping both

requires fully splitting on map

[arctic sonnet]

Imba typing 4 words per row

sometimes up to 6

[arctic sonnet]

[gentle tiger]

interestingggg,

[solid kraken]

its about damn time

dropping weapons was just a bad mechnic in rift

or if its meant to stay

we should have 3 extra weapon slots

like in normal game

lets be real

even if u go mega conservative

and go 2x melee, 1 range

if u just get parried 2x

u can just pound dirt

[gentle tiger]

yes, plus i'm sure they don't like the idea of some rat countering a few celestials off somebody and then running for extract

https://tenor.com/view/bobs-burgers-louise-bobsburgers-fighttothedeath-gif-18087799

besides counter and mole hook, any other changes we have discovered from the stealth patch?

[solid kraken]

red weapons 5% more dmg, pink weapons 12% more dmg

[solid kraken]

eh tbh if this happened

the trio was probably camping every portal

for the rest of game

xd

[gentle tiger]

12% that's massive

[astral citrus]

Does that mean we keep our weapons during fights?

If I get parried 8 times I won't drop the weapon?

[solid kraken]

well i didnt specifically try to get parried 8 times

but

i presume it is

[astral citrus]

THANK FUCKING GOD

[solid kraken]

permanent

yeah mega W change

[astral citrus]

I can actually use my Celestial Weapons without worry in fights

Ofc I have to win or successfully escape fights

But that helps SOOOO much

As a solo player killing mobs or roaming the map

Enemies can still loot your body when you're dead though

[solid kraken]

yeah with how rift is

this should have been there from start

[gentle tiger]

now if only we could get a "mark as trash" and "sell all trash" loot buttons

[astral citrus]

This is a micro buff to Katana doe

Since you can't disarm then steal someone's Katana, they will keep attempting to spam Soul Slash

[solid kraken]

get silence parry rubric

u can dodge towards them and release counter

[astral citrus]

This is gonna be rough against Trios where the enemy Tarka keeps toothpicking you and then Kurumi just spams Soul Slash in the background. Even if you counter, Tarka will cover for Kuwumba until she can spam again

[astral citrus]

I thought this only applied to abilities not weapon rubrics

[solid kraken]

it says nothing about abilities

[gentle tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/maxie-jones-gif-1069417939484265837

[solid kraken]

forbidden seal counter

[gentle tiger]

ohhh i use that for sure already

[astral citrus]

Oh it's only rubrics fr

Nice

Hmm

So now that will be a must have tech against soul slash spammers

[gentle tiger]

it's good because it also shortens recovery frames after dodgin

so that's kinda massive

[astral citrus]

Have to play around with builds now again

[stray frost]

Good finally no more rat shits

[astral citrus]

I'm still ratting

I just loot cabinets and leave what's your problem?

@eternal talon Fistblades looking super spicy

[blissful bone]

So you can't fly with mole hook now?

[astral citrus]

Nope

[blissful bone]

that's nice

But what's the purpose of using mole hook over grapling hook now?

Since the only reason people were playing mole hook was because u could fly with it

[astral citrus]

Stealth

You actually use the underground traveling for Mole Hook

I wish they reduced the noise so stealth gameplay is viable

Cabinet Rats will still use molehook to stay hidden while looting Purples and Blues

[blissful bone]

Yea if they silence it that would be great

[astral citrus]

Silence would be too strong, but if they buff it so you only hear the gravel noises within 5m and the actual hook noise in 15m would really help with Solo/Duo players who are farming for economy

[stray frost]

not u I meant the others who sneakily come and attack us and then try to leave if they get fked

[astral citrus]

Ah

[stray frost]

Just chasing em is a hassle after that

[astral citrus]

The rats who do cheese like stealing gear at the weight puzzle or countering, stealing your expensive weapon,then leaving

[stray frost]

☠️ does that even work

The weight thing

Counter ratting I have done myself coz my teammates died

[astral citrus]

Yeah, one Matari made her skin pitch black and took the black robe outfit and hid on the ceiling above the stand

[stray frost]

@mild vale is that u

[astral citrus]

As soon as someone dropped their stuff, she dropped down, stole everything then left

[eternal talon]

Saw gameplay aswell

Looking good with akos now Naes?

@astral citrus now we are on for the dou kurmai/akos when update is up? But first lemma use training to adjuest quick to changes

Lets build our evil plan

@astral citrus also what rubrics u think i should put on fists?

[mild vale]

LOL DONT CALL ME OUT

nah fr i aint that brave to go around doing that, if that were me id drop too late as they pick up their gear and bye bye me

[mild vale]

what rubic is this?

[astral citrus]

I'm down. I'll see when I'm free. Probably a weekend sometime

[astral citrus]

The wound gives a lot of pressure if you're able to land a true or semi true

The Gold Focus Cloudweaver is also very safe

Sky Punch and Tempest Kick are still very mid

Probably would go with Forbidden Seal Counter and Sap instead

[eternal talon]

Mmmm. Will be able to master it

[astral citrus]

Bolts is technically viable with H2 or Tempest Kick

But if you're actually doing combos, you'd opt for other rubrics

[astral citrus]

As H2 and Tempest is basically blue spamming

[eternal talon]

I am good at both spamming and combos

[astral citrus]

You could put in Charged Bolt and Bolt Resonance then

[gentle tiger]

forbidden seal rubric.

[mild vale]

its called that? i cant find it e.e is it a gold rubic?

[thorn pond]

lol

[solid kraken]

rift games today

were SO GOOD

withn ew changes

not one time i have to waste 10 min

chasing some rat

[gentle tiger]

purple rubric, only can get two by redeeming at the rubric dealer.

fucking goated rubric, up there with wave roll.

you're able to do things like dodge -> counter much easier.

as well as applying the silence, ofc

it's only redeemable at the rubric dealer, don't think it's sold on market at all.

[solid kraken]

u can buy in market

[mild vale]

oohh i see that does sound pretty good tbh, what is like good build to go in with now these days then? assuming its with that rubic too

havent properly played for a while

[solid kraken]

well in weapon sap + dmg reduction

in armor vajra counter + dmg reduction

rest depends on what u play

for katana u wanna run bolts for example

[gentle tiger]

why bolts on katana

i know it's good, but what about katana make it better? the number of hits?

[solid kraken]

soulslash has very many hits

its also good on dual blades and dual halberds

[thorn pond]

[solid kraken]

this blue box is so bad

its unreal

even the coin box is better

[astral citrus]

Do you chase cabinet rats?

[astral citrus]

I'm only at 54

I need to finish the rest this weekend when I get back from my vacation

I was gonna pull all 100 at once, screen cap and show the rates

[solid kraken]

not really

[solid kraken]

i just camp rift tuner and quest portal

untll 1 min mark

[astral citrus]

A lot of people chase me on site even though I'm a cabinet rat

[solid kraken]

they come there and die

with all loot

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1403379890333417482.png?size=160&name=KuromiEvil

Just take twiggy and leave

if someone takes twig

ill be like

tag me ;3

[astral citrus]

Once I get all 100 I will

[thorn pond]

I opened 2 red weapon chests, 2 ranged weapon chests, 3 red armor chests. 1 red key and 2 yellow keys. The rest are single use items.

[solid kraken]

is it possible to drop rattan armor?

from the random armor box

[thorn pond]

random

all 3 are this type of armor lol

[thorn pond]

[gentle tiger]

why can't battle edicts be used in doomed path?

[astral citrus]

Not enough value. You need equipment value of 600k to enter Doomed

The only Battle Edict that allows that is the Gold one

[gentle tiger]

yes i'm trying to use the gold battle edict, and it's not letting me

says my prep score is too low.

but it clearly says prep score is 650,000 with gold edict

[astral citrus]

Das weird

[foggy lion]

I'm also facing same issue

And it's not from Today or yesterday it's been quite a while now

[gentle tiger]

yeah it's been an issue since i started playing (few weeks ago)

[proud nebula]

Anyone wanna run some matches anything

[dusty furnace]

🎉 | Blackmrclean leveled up!
ℹ | Level up messages can be disabled for the guild with owo level disabletext

[proud nebula]

I haven't played one match at all!

[proud nebula]

@dusty furnace id like to but I haven't had no chance to run on this I be on rank mostly and showdown but I def wanna find more people to play with and grow more on this

My rift rank is trash but im pretty high on rank

[foggy lion]

It's ok bro loneliness can hit that hard it's ok talking to bot that's not even a chat bot relatable

[crude quiver]

Why

Did they gut mole hook

God this mode feels so stupid slow to play now

I'm like certain I won't be playing this mode anymore

[solid kraken]

mole hook nerf is absolutely fantastic

its so fun to play now

[thorn pond]

the problem with this mode is team up

[civic lance]

SAME

[eternal talon]

I can still loot all red caves, all tresuares, also thunder island with grapple

[solid kraken]

yeah agreed

[eternal talon]

U just need to know how to use it

From the start the mole hook thing wasnt intented

Like it wasnt intented for u to use it to fly

[crude quiver]

Uhuh that's why the mole hook skin is a fucking bird and they made a rubric that increases mole hook distance, because you weren't intended on flying

No this is just another low end suggestion that made its way through the cracks, like 32 man solo CF

[crude quiver]

Kinda yeah

Killing mole hook makes this issue much worse

[crude quiver]

I will never not catch any player using it to go below ground. It's horrible and dog without flying

[crude quiver]

It's just so boring now

Like I love how everyone complains about this mode being stacked against solos and duos

And even tho mole hook made this playable

They go the other direction lolol

[civic lance]

Fr
I totally stopped playing this mode like 2 weeks ago

Not gonna play at anymore 🗣️

[crude quiver]

I stopped when I was in debt

[civic lance]

Back to rank and showdown

[crude quiver]

Came back

Had fun

[civic lance]

💀

[civic lance]

Oh W

[crude quiver]

Got out of debt and all my season collectibles +100m

[civic lance]

Sheesh

Thats a crazy comeback

[crude quiver]

Played today, glued to the ground

😐

[civic lance]

[crude quiver]

Whenever I had to switch to normal grapples to catch a mole hooker it felt so bad to just move around the map

Now it like

Extra feels like that always

V cool change nerfing movement always a W

[vestal kiln]

how long does it usually take to queue for trios

[gentle tiger]

mole hook skin is a bird because there's a feather/bird theme to the battle pass season

and mole hook distance rubrics never affected the fly distance

it was clearly an unintended movement bug, especially as it didn't fit the description of the mole hooks\

it literally says the grapple is supposed to be the faster aerial choice

and the mole hook is a stealthy closer to ground

you are more than capable of moving around the map and hitting most if not all of the drunken chests

even with a grapple.

[cunning hazel]

i got camel and vase in less than 10 matches on my alt, meanwhile on my main 35+ matches and i got only one camel 🙂

[solid kraken]

they are IP gated

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1217514531723411457.webp?size=48&name=Kuwuevil

[cunning hazel]

ofc there has to be rng in everything

ofc my feedback got ignored

[foggy lion]

[past shell]

may i ask why do you think that the nerf was good
the only good reason i can think of it chasing people will not be so teadius anymore , high mobility hero like justina matari become better same with some weapon that have good mobility like dagger - dash , staff , spear - track , hengsword

[foggy lion]

How many matches do I have to play to get that celestial status of unity something that dragon one which has the highest value ?

On an avg I'm asking

[gentle tiger]

the main reason it's better is that the flying movement just wasn't intended

[gentle tiger]

i've seen one out of my 300 matches

[foggy lion]

Ok then 200 matches more to go

[solid kraken]

yeah u hit nail on the head

it was just too tedious

[gentle tiger]

just rng tho, u might get luckier than i

[solid kraken]

OP or not aside

[foggy lion]

Beleive me I'm the unluckiest ever so it might have to be around 500+ matches for me

[solid kraken]

also it made dealing with teamers extremely hard

if some team has a pocket squad of mole hook range spammers

raining bow and cannon shots from above

its rly disgusting

[gentle tiger]

it devolved the interactions of the game to almost completely ignore the environments they created

[solid kraken]

yeah

also sometimes

it was very oppressive when u tried to run away

and there is guy with mole hook following u

in sky

and raining bow shots

[past shell]

Ok, thank you for sharing your opinion

[solid kraken]

the only downside of mole hook nerf is that trios vs solo/duo advantage got increased even more

[past shell]

i mean you deal with its if you have grapple but if you miss it then you cant chase them

[solid kraken]

i had spare blue weapon with grapple distance

it was not too bad

but u really needed to have one team member with kitted out bow

then dealing with mole hookers was quite painless

or pink musket

they just get exploded

[gentle tiger]

yes it's much harder to disengage 1v3

[solid kraken]

i think u can still disengage 1v3 but u need to commit ult like justina v1

or matari

with just F its gonna be hard now

or play zai and cut corners around bad terrain with F

then spam normal grapples

to run away

[gentle tiger]

inor wan has some juke capability with the knife teleport, not nearly as good as matari for disengage tho

soft step and gecko step is OKAY for disengage, it just takes forever to pop the invis

[solid kraken]

can also use the sandstorm

to ur advantage

[gentle tiger]

but the reality is, if people are diving into a 1v3 they shouldn't be able to easily disengage

should be going for picks and separations

[solid kraken]

tbh using mole hook to run underground is still pretty decent way to run away

if u take good path

[gentle tiger]

yes, spam the jump makes it faster too

the little bunny hop thing

[solid kraken]

it makes 3v3 much better also

before was rly annoying

u kill one guy

then someone steals loot

and boom

cya

[foggy lion]

Just use the morphing tool to morph into a table

Enemies will stand on u trying to find you lol

[solid kraken]

morph into house

in the middle of plumed castle

they will be so confused they let u be

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1175184894381531247.png?size=160&name=MatariLaugh

[gentle tiger]

i fucking love the morph rune so much

[crude quiver]

You couldn't anyway !!!

What

You have to be able to break LoS or you get grapple stunned to oblivion vs anyone who doesn't have the reaction timing of a toddler

The difference is now if you break LoS you will still most likely get caught

This effectively killed solo play, because now if you are ever spotted you just die, you gotta play the stupid cringe ping/fps game where someone with better pc/location will be able to always catch you.

This isn't like the normal mode where you can scale rush to break LoS effectively

[crude quiver]

You have to be playing vs the thumbless

I can move faster than an underground mole hook with basic movement

Don't believe me ask @astral citrus

[crude quiver]

It does though lmao

[crude quiver]

It really wasn't that bad honestly, which makes me wonder why they nerfed it, it has to be for the new players

[astral citrus]

A good player can catch you either way. The only way to lose someone reliably is to hide or use sharp corners, but even then good players have good instinct to turn around and check if they don't immediately see something in front of them

I'm able to juke most average players, but @crude quiver is sharp and usually turns quite early and catches me in the juke when his teammates would just charge ahead.

Players like him make my life hell as a mole

[gentle tiger]

ive been queueing solo fine

pick your engagements

[gentle tiger]

the underground mole hook was almost as fast as spammed air hook

so i find that hard to believe.

its only slow if you dont b hop

[solid kraken]

its just mega annoying and tedious to deal with

[crude quiver]

You probably keep crossplay on

And play vs gamers without thumbs

I also rarely lose and probably wouldn't without mole hook, if I decided to play after.

I won't though, because there isn't a point if it isn't fun since I've done everything

And unlocked everything

And bad movement = no fun

[solid kraken]

become #1 collection score in global

xd

[crude quiver]

O wow sure ! I'm sure grinding a mode I dislike to get some arbitrary title after they nerf all the mechanics I like is tots worth

Gravity + cringe 1 shot mechanics is very cool. I sure do like rushing for fireflies to 1 tap all these yellow armor new players

Very engaging

Really tickles the competitive itch

R1 global bot farmer wow !

No more airborne fights that's too hard for average players. Gotta make it better for the new players that shouldn't be in doomed 🥺

The people acting like it unlocked a fun aspect is the most baffling to me

Where

It gutted movement but it's not like it's forcing fights

The rats will just rat harder

[gentle tiger]

games better for it

[crude quiver]

Yeah truly

More like another mechanic removed to cater to people who couldn't adapt

"Unintended" yet they created a zone you only could get to by it previously

Huge brain deduction

[gentle tiger]

you can literally get up there with wind horn

[crude quiver]

Oh right true! That's how you were supposed to get there. Wind horn! The consumable!

[gentle tiger]

you don't even need it, you can grapple the bottom of the island with the right setups

or.. take the intended path up?

[crude quiver]

Right right, that was the intended way, not the air path

[gentle tiger]

the air tunnel is the intended path fs

[crude quiver]

Yes no shit. And the air lift wasn't there till this patch so

The cope saying it was a bug

That didn't get patched for what

9 patches?

It got nerfed, not bug fixed.

Nerfed due to lower end outcry

Same as usual

[gentle tiger]

i'm sorry does it say "use this to fly" under the mole hook?

was it called the bird hook?

no.

[crude quiver]

Ye I forgot naraka had to spell out how to play or it isn't real tech, just a bug. Can't wait till they patch 211

Idk if it makes the game enjoyable for you enjoy ig. Just later down the line when it skews team play vs solo play don't say I didn't tell you so

[solid kraken]

??? u can get to the floating island above plumed with normal grapple

with 0 grapple distance

[solid kraken]

the air tunnel was there since the beginning when they added thunder island

[spare mulch]

а все

[astral citrus]

He's talking about a specific vertical plume that shoots you up enough for a movement tech

Not the air tunnel itself

But I think that's Windstorm only

[crude quiver]

You were very clearly supposed to enter it by the entrance

To the wind tunnel lol

They just added a air boost that allows you to jump up there, to replace mole hook

because mole hook was the intended method

If you read the mole hook skin, it also says that it was made to fly lmao

It's so cope that people want to say it wasn't intended.

They would just prefer that to be the reason then it being due to lower end outcry

[solid kraken]

i think its hard to say it was unintended if it was left in game for long

but also idk sometimes devs

are weird

its like they tried to remove 211

they accidentally made things even worse

then they reverted it to how it was

and gave up on it

xd

[crude quiver]

100%, we saw how quickly they addressed real unintended stuff, like the golden trove glitch

And it's been supported even since patches have come out, they are just nerfing it because, and I can't think of who else because outside of blue holds in air tricks it wasn't used in trios, to make it easier for lower end players to fight and try to make it harder on solo/duo play.

Which seems like a complete 180 since they seemed to support solo/duo play with the adding of the secret gate

[solid kraken]

rift is kinda designed in very hostile way towards non-trio play

like many mechanics are ass when u are solo

[crude quiver]

It was originally yeah, but they were making good changes to help solo play

It will never be enough without like

solo or duo specfic armors/weps that give buffs

[solid kraken]

they just need to turn solo/duo into "high risk/high reward" mode or something

[crude quiver]

but to go full anti solo que and just take away the only real way to get away from a 1v3 engagement is crazy work. Now you gotta like hide with mole or consumables. The wind horn probably doesnt work anymore

So thats probably just another dead consumable

Hiding with mole vs someone who is unemployed is gonna be impossible

So ig you "take a 1v3 and look for picks" true Im sure hypernova tryhard and dunkin, or any of the chets, or any of the similar skilled players will get 1v3ed by me. Yeah true true. I just feel like theres no way we are playing vs the same caliber of players for yall mole hook haters to feel like you do

And I know I HEAVY watch the map

so anyone good will also be doing that

Ive gotten camped at the protect boss quest on multiple occasions

Idk solo play was already unfavorable before now its unplayable. Guess it's just the Naes cabinet strat or bust real talk. Rip doomed solos unless its 4 am lolol

Which means Im just not gonna play it

If Im asked by friends ig I will since I have gear

but outside of trios this mode is not worth it anymore

[gentle tiger]

wind horn totally works fine still

[fair mulch]

lf1 doomed path

[gentle tiger]

why can't i sort my loot and sell stuff when in queue? just lock the loadout portion, not the entire inventory

[steady tulip]

"single dog" is never a favoring term in chinese culture anyway

[foggy lion]

Believe in Unity ahh

[eternal talon]

@solid kraken if u use grapple at desert. When u about to reach end of grapple do the flying slash. Will launch u further.

As the mole flying trick was never intended to be there. From day one it was numbered

Until it will be patched

Cant see why peps crying

[crude quiver]

This is cope, it was always intended and everything points to it. Do you have the bird skin for the mole hook? Read the description. They made it lore accurate, it was patched because garbo players couldn't figure out how to counter it out so they cried for a nerf, even though good players never had trouble catching it. It just rewarded you for breaking Los with good movement, now your good movement gets no reward.

[crude quiver]

Because the game mode, aside from Red item and selling dopamine hits, is like

really really bad

The meta is to play some cringe stun/stagger ult character, then use your 1 shot gear paired with silences

and just non interactive kill someone

pairing it around 3v3 combat in the center is just like

Like I am very good at it, especially considering the people I play vs in this mode is on the extreme high end in narkaka

compared to like people in console ques or other servers

Cant speak for Sea or CN idk how comp it is over there, Id imagine it is

but playing on EU pc rift is light work

NA PC rift is super sweaty for no reason

That gameplay is just most of the time really cringe idk

The shift to force people into more of these cringe engagements when the combat is inherently overtuned by design

Idk it isnt fun

You dont ever really die by getting outskilled, you just get cringe ganked or get cringe suprise ulted then u die. And its even worse when they like stun setup into a broken ranged wep snipe from another teammate

like very interactive

And skillful! Sure was hard to hit the frozen target

[cunning hazel]

this is why i disliked rift from day one lol

[crude quiver]

Yeah, and it's even worse condiering the obscene amount of cheaters in rift. Idk what it is about extraction game modes and why they bring out all the cheaters, but they LOVE aimbotting and esp in extraction games.

[crude quiver]

That part was always not fun, but it was supplemented by it being fun to chase/be chased while soaring through the air, while also mind gaming gates and map stuff.

That part I liked, made you have to use your brain a bit

Idk if yall still enjoy it, enjoy it, Im not the type to tell you whats fun for you or not

for me personally

the hook change put a damper on the fun

[cunning hazel]

well they're testing the water

hook change, not dropping weapon after getting parried, red and pink weapons dmg boost

they said those are ''omens'', and it could stops at any moment

but they're just testing them and gather player's feedback for new season

they did announced it on cn media posts, just global got ignored

[crude quiver]

Ofc we did lol

Well that's good news

[crude quiver]

I like the non parry drop thing

I have a friend who I help sneak into doomed with a Grey wep and no armor by gear value manipulation, I will keep ressing him over and over so he could just keep attempting to parry steal weps

[cunning hazel]

well in the end only CN voices matters anyway

[crude quiver]

Very funny, doesn't work since this, but probably a good thing

[crude quiver]

Yeah...

It was always weird that takeda f got nerfed to not steal, but you still can parry steal

Inconsistencies

And you can say like...parries are harder but I mean varjas counter is very strong

[past shell]

kinda wish they buff transformer HP in this mode right now all the weapon deal so much damage if you transform you just become bigger target and cant parry

[solid kraken]

really? transformers are so hard to kill

and they can use mythic dew and hp rubrics

to reach absolutely mental HP levels

[foggy lion]

guys how solve the puzzle at plumed castle ?

[crude quiver]

Which

The thunder one or the arrowheads

[foggy lion]

arrow

[crude quiver]

The arrow heads have corresponding signs in the snow house behind the boss room top left, in the construction area behind the boss room on the top right, and in the boss room itself. Look at the arrowhead statues in this area and you'll see a glowing arrow above them.

Hit the statues above the boss room in the direction of the arrows that are closest to the statues with the glowing arrows

You only need to look at 2 and just random hit the one you didn't look at

[foggy lion]

aaaaaa a

[crude quiver]

Ya that

[foggy lion]

so um i have to move the statue at boss area downward side

[crude quiver]

Yes, the top right statue is down in this case

[foggy lion]

then w

@crude quiver xil xil help

[crude quiver]

Sorry missed notif

[crude quiver]

But yeah I'm sure u figured it out, that is correct

[foggy lion]

yea i donno what i did but somehow i managed to get the chest

when i noticed the chest came up the statues that were below were facing front

no idea what i did but im happy to get the chest

[gentle tiger]

😏

this is the way

[gentle tiger]

sounds like they outskilled you here

i think if the mole hook was intended to fly, it would have been in the main item description

sure, the cloud roc skin could allude to the flying becoming lore accurate, but if you look at the general theme for this battle pass and season it's feathers and wings and birds

and the main item description should take precendence over a skin description.

also if you aren't liking the high gear metas, they have perilous and tranquil path for people that want the game easier.

no 1 shot gear there 🙂

i will say it's really weird that we didnt get ANY patch notes in any other region than china

especially if what they're saying is true

if they're just testing and looking for feedback, they really should have outlined the chagnes from the very start for other regions to actually give that feedback

[cunning hazel]

well that's exactly what happened

[gentle tiger]

exactly

[crude quiver]

Who is they

I'm the offender lol

You just play vs na console only players, which is the equivalent of playing vs 30 trained monkeys

https://tenor.com/view/lex-monkey-monkey-lex-lex-monkey-typing-typing-gif-3929174101619105730

^ your opponents

But dw I respect your opinions, truly.

[crude quiver]

I can also health rattan armor 1 shot in perilous with gear maxing like idk bro thats how I know you don't play like that, perilous for the longest time WAS THE SPOT for fighting.

But you are the type of player they are catering to lololol

Glad it's temporary

[eternal talon]

@crude quiver to be fair. Catching that grapple or mole is same for me

Same thing

Idc if they bring it back. I am good to kill peps either away. I also crossplay rift. I do just what i want

And with that being said, i am going to sleep. Got a headache. Got work tommrow. Enjoy ur rift and mirrors peps

[crude quiver]

This is my point tho, good players were never bothered by it it was more of a low end frustration

[eternal talon]

I didnt say it wasnt ur point mate

I just said what i think

Aswell

[crude quiver]

Idk thankfully they are reverting

[eternal talon]

They said it?

[crude quiver]

Its apparently some temporary omen thing or w.e

[crude quiver]

^

[eternal talon]

It is chinesse so i didnt know

[crude quiver]

Which also completely destroys the "unintended" argument

[eternal talon]

Thx mate

Kudos

[crude quiver]

Np I didn't either

They just like

Didn't tell us ig lol

[eternal talon]

Well. They did

If ur

Chinesse

They even got compansate

There is a photo in disscution area

Of cn getting mail about it

With a box of red wp of choice

For rift

[crude quiver]

Maybe we will get it too then neat

[eternal talon]

I doubt

Not first time

This happens

[crude quiver]

Kinda just how it goes with cn vs global

But sometimes they are also just late

[gentle tiger]

doubt they revert the changes. better for the mode as a whole.

[eternal talon]

Well it literrly shows

[gentle tiger]

also i play on na pc

lol

[crude quiver]

Gamepass is console

Same server

[eternal talon]

Not on this stuff

If we dont get a mail

Also

And its a day after

[gentle tiger]

crossplay is forced on, theres no toggle

[eternal talon]

Like a day past

We wont

[gentle tiger]

so i'm not on console.

[eternal talon]

Mmmm wrong

[crude quiver]

Uncheck the fill bots option in your settings

[eternal talon]

Wrong

Ur still on console

[eternal talon]

Thats what i was about to say

[eternal talon]

U know i used it and checked that u cant trio ranked was high rank?

Without crossplay?

On ps5?

Like i done it

[crude quiver]

Op

[eternal talon]

Open phone on honaki star rail

Done the missions then

Was above a hour

No match

[gentle tiger]

reality is flying through the air was bad for the mode

[eternal talon]

Finished the mission i was on mate

Got crossplay back

Got back to play

I reached top 10 akos only crossplay

Also top 12 tarka then

With crossplay

Crossplay without bots

Thats how u see skills

[crude quiver]

Nice w you

[eternal talon]

Thx

[foggy lion]

Pro

[astral citrus]

Farming Mirror Realm is suffering

Only 48 Blue Boxes to go

Then I have to farm the coins and Tae

[thorn pond]

[thorn pond]

I'm farming on NA server, because of low rank there are almost no other players. pretty fast

[astral citrus]

It's tedious

It's easy but tedious

[thorn pond]

I don't have time to waste time fighting and then just get some keys to exchange items, if I want to fight I will join Map 3 mode

[gentle tiger]

Twinkling Chains is goated

[hollow kraken]

I only use mole hooks 😭 🙏

But ill switch to try it cuz they nerfer them

[gentle tiger]

im trying one on armor and one on my offhand wep

and holy crap the speed and distance is helpful

[eternal talon]

@astral citrus @crude quiver @solid kraken they changed mole back or not yet?

[hollow kraken]

You can stack the rubrics?

[solid kraken]

yesterday it was still bad

so i think not

some matari tried to use mole hook into bird

got grappled to death

and i got mystique silver from her body

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1175184894381531247.png?size=160&name=MatariLaugh

im completely baffled

did she get astrolabe of stars or what

why she didnt put it in century chest

[eternal talon]

Lmao

[crude quiver]

No not yet

Probs won't be for a week or 2

[eternal talon]

Why she didnt putted it in convey chest?

Lmai

Lmao

[hollow kraken]

convoy chest*

[solid kraken]

well century chest u mean

[eternal talon]

Yes

[hollow kraken]

[solid kraken]

question: how do u feel about drops from legendary chests from boss and roc?

i feel like they give mega crap loot

but idk if its just bad luck

or they are generally bad

[eternal talon]

Nope

[foggy lion]

I was wondering if it was only me alone

[eternal talon]

Its for all

[solid kraken]

on the contrary, the epic chests from camps and minibosses seem to drop decently

like average loot quality is pretty bad

but they drop good stuff here and there

like mystique silver

i even pulled red GS yesterday

from normal mob camp

[eternal talon]

Must of silvers i get are from epic chests

[foggy lion]

I am not getting any good treasure at all from all the last 20 matches I've played

[foggy lion]

freakin finally

i can quit for this season now 😭

[hollow kraken]

Yknow this season ends in like a week right?

[foggy lion]

Whatever man I'm happy lol

[hollow kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/deer-interview-it-goes-without-saying-gif-12669775144079688963

[astral citrus]

No, Mole is still heavily nerfed

[hollow kraken]

When tf did they nerf it

And the weapons not dropping too

I dont see it in the patch notes

[astral citrus]

Thursday/Friday

[hollow kraken]

Mfs didnt even give us notice of the changes

💔

[astral citrus]

This is supposed to come next patch I think. I have to double check if this was part of the shadow changes

[hollow kraken]

Damn they just couldnt include it in the video where they even showcased the fistblades

[astral citrus]

Yeah, for Rift the devs said they'll release temporary "Omens" that adjust gameplay to live test and gather data. They can remove these whenever they want to.

[hollow kraken]

Thats wild

[astral citrus]

When an Omen drops, it prevents you from queueing Rift for like an hour lmao

Until it's done applying

[hollow kraken]

What the fuck 😭 🙏

[astral citrus]

Which is hilarious since it cuts into the amount of time you can play Mirror Realm

[hollow kraken]

I mean you can still go to the training room right

[astral citrus]

Nope

Shuts down Rift in its entirety, every Rift queue gives you an errror

"An Omen is descending, you cannot queue right now"

[cunning hazel]

bruh

i thought it's just a first day thing

[solid kraken]

well it just stops queue for 1 hour

its not that bad

gonna be funny tho if they drop another omen

without mail again

and we die coz we dont know

[cunning hazel]

totally would be the case tbh

[solid kraken]

yesterday i had matari

who tried to mole hook

into bird consumable

well

im up +1 mystique silver

[hollow kraken]

What if ur ingame tho

During it

Do u just get disconnected and loose your stuff

[solid kraken]

well im guessing the server downtime is long enough

[hollow kraken]

Like what if you had 2 celestial weapons and a celestial armor

[solid kraken]

to end all ongoing sessions

and deploy change

[hollow kraken]

Damn

[solid kraken]

rift game is max 25minutes

and downtimes is 1 hour

[hollow kraken]

We'll see about that 🗣️

[hollow kraken]

Ye but u said its being applied

DURING THAT HOUR

[astral citrus]

Probably lets you finish that game

[solid kraken]

or maybe u cant queue before already

e.g. if server shutdown is soon

[astral citrus]

Yeah basically

[solid kraken]

it will not let u start a rift game

[astral citrus]

Existing games finish to give grace time for players in game

[cunning hazel]

but, like
why does it has to be a 1 hour down time

[astral citrus]

Players cannot start new games in anticipation of parch

[astral citrus]

25 minutes to finish existing games and make sure everyone is off

35 minutes for actual patching

[hollow kraken]

Im pretty sure i can get it to 27mins

The match

[light flint]

guys how u enter war room with key, cant seem to find the entrace on level 1,2,3 in the building

[hollow kraken]

Go to the wall made with bricks

There is a level under those 3 floors

[light flint]

ty

[hollow kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/deer-interview-it-goes-without-saying-gif-12669775144079688963

[foggy lion]

@astral citrus what's the stuff that gonna be reset after new season in rift ? Like my storeroom capacity? 💀

[solid kraken]

well we dont know for certain i guess

but the only confirmed 100% thing is century chest

in new season will need to farm it again

[foggy lion]

As long it's not the store room I'm happy

[eternal talon]

The only thing they can do is get more storage room upgrade's

[solid kraken]

pretty sure storage and prestige levels stay

otherwise they wouldnt split normal contracts from seasonal contracts

[eternal talon]

Storage and prestige 100%

[astral citrus]

This is why I think Storeroom and Prestige will stay

[eternal talon]

Also prestige

The only thing i can see

Is more prestige levels

And more storage room upgrades

[astral citrus]

Prestige and Storeroom for sure. Otherwise, why would normal Contract Quests be separated from Seasonal

Century Chest you get from contracts will definitely be reset as they're tied to the Seasonal Contract quest

[solid kraken]

they need to give us repair kit storeroom

[eternal talon]

I see

[solid kraken]

and item storeroom should be reserved for heals/grapples/pots

[eternal talon]

We get more levels

[astral citrus]

What's uncertain are the items and void coins and if they will be permanent or not

[eternal talon]

Coins yes

They are permanent

And items also

[solid kraken]

i think the thing with naraka is

[eternal talon]

Only chest

[solid kraken]

if they make every season full reset

[astral citrus]

Agreed, we need a separate Fix-It Kit store room cause those things eat so much storage

[solid kraken]

rift wouldnt be playable for people who already play showdown and BR

[astral citrus]

This

[eternal talon]

Yep

[astral citrus]

There are already too many things to farm

[solid kraken]

i think their long term strategy is to keep players in naraka ecosystem

[eternal talon]

I can only see

[solid kraken]

they want ppl switch between modes

[astral citrus]

I'm already neglecting BR for Showdown and Rift

[solid kraken]

rather than play another game

[eternal talon]

They incresse prestige and storage room upgrade's

After all we get another map

I think

So we must get new relics

Maybe also to be used for upgrade and stuff

[eternal talon]

Mate ur not the only one

[solid kraken]

i guess they could make season only extra storage

that gets deleted

at the end of season

[gentle tiger]

its supposed to be the item store room.

[solid kraken]

well they qualify for it

but its just 50lb

item storage looks like it was designed for keeping drinks and heals/grapples

[gentle tiger]

yess, but if you get to storage 9 or 10 you get a lot more space

[solid kraken]

yeah well the bulk of repair kits will need to be placed in general storeroom

[gentle tiger]

its true

i mostly use the item storage for pots

and keep all repair in general

[solid kraken]

when i press sort out button

[gentle tiger]

uses like 200 lbs of general

[solid kraken]

it automatically fills item storage with repair kits xD

[gentle tiger]

i also kind of hate that after every game it tries to put my half eaten berries into there

[solid kraken]

yeah they should allow us stacking heals

its so annoying having to recycle half used heals

i dont even store heals anymore

just buy fresh ones from loadout page

[gentle tiger]

yes, recylce the half used ones when you bring items to storage after game

and use loadout feature to buy back

thats my general cycle

[solid kraken]

would be nice if we could stack and refill partially used heals

like if u eat half

u can buy other half

to top it up

[gentle tiger]

yes, you can stack one in armor and another in your weapon. but your weapon ones wont stack with eachother (they go by the one currently equipped)

[hollow kraken]

is it like that even during congeneric swap

[solid kraken]

@astral citrus as a king of cabinet ratting, do u think its worthwile to mine ore or gather plants in rift?

[gentle tiger]

good question, but probably the answer is that it still just applies one of the weapons sets of rubrics during the swap combo

[astral citrus]

Absolutely not unless the lobby is completely full/dangerous and there's absolutely nothing else to farm

The rates for mining/gathering are so fucking piss poor. Very rarely will you get Epics.

[solid kraken]

can they drop extremes?

[astral citrus]

I cannot confirm nor deny, the highest I got was legendary

[solid kraken]

like even if they drop just whites but give mystique silver 1 in 100

could be worth

how many times u mine them approx?

u think u did 100+ tries?

[hollow kraken]

then the answer is yes

the only problem is that we dont know the rarity

of the loot table

but its probably around 2 stars

i mean if its not thats pretty much bummer

if there were like 20 ores not 8 it would be a lot better

[astral citrus]

Bro is making up rarity tiers as he talks

[hollow kraken]

heh

:3

YKNOW WHAT I MEAN THO

[astral citrus]

Basically. Laws of statistics.

[hollow kraken]

🗣️

[astral citrus]

Yeye

[hollow kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/diddybop-dance-gif-5148130146841281536

[hollow kraken]

@smoky lake can we add more ores to rift plz >_<

[astral citrus]

Because the sample size is so small (8 nodes of each resource per map) it's hard to get good numbers

[hollow kraken]

me when @smoky lake

[astral citrus]

And if you commit to researching the rates, you're effectively sacking your own economy and time.

[hollow kraken]

yeah true they really should add more resources to make the rubric as well actually useful

like its only on one open part of the map thats NEAR MIDDLE

at least give us couple more high rarity ores among them to make it worth it

[smoky lake]

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[hollow kraken]

like same as purple chests but for ores

or 4stars rarity cabinet

same drop rate but for ores

we just need some way to justify there being such limited number of them, gathering time, the use of rubric that helps with that and basicly the entire mechanic

same with plants if they ever decide to add red one

tho i dont think we need more harvesting noone does that

but ores could drop the celestial mat so like that could be another useful way to get them

[astral citrus]

I think the issue is what Devs want for the game. They want a quick paced game where you fluidly swap between combat, questing, and scavenging. The issue is they put a pretty tight time limit on each game. 25:00 is very short given how many nodes and quests there are on the map. On top of this, death is very unforgiving and sets you back economically significantly, especially if you're not a skilled PvP'er.

[hollow kraken]

Thats by design cuz the resources are shared

its really unbalanced tho

[astral citrus]

So you're either a PvP king going for the best loot spots and killing everyone who tried to contest. Or rats who cabinet hunt and just quietly leave and build profits slowly

[hollow kraken]

also there are so many wells or the carriages that you just cant loot for some reason

[astral citrus]

With neither group interacting with each other

[hollow kraken]

they dont the safe places to farm them are spread wayy too thin

and are only 2star loot table

[astral citrus]

Not at all

What the fark does 2 star even mean?

[hollow kraken]

i mean when they added villages to the corners of the map

that did nothing

[hollow kraken]

yknow how celestial has 6 leafs

yeah thats basicly 6 star

purple chest has 5 so its 5 star

i just like using stars instead of leafs

[astral citrus]

Yushan and Tang have always existed what are you smokin bro

[hollow kraken]

i mean the ones that they added with the heng sword it was i think?

[astral citrus]

Just say Pink or Celestia like everyone else jesus

[solid kraken]

@astral citrus how many ores u dug total on doomed path u think?

[hollow kraken]

ye when they made it so u need 1 rune stone to challenge the boss

that update

[solid kraken]

approx

[hollow kraken]

too much typing

[astral citrus]

They didn't add anything new, just the Thunder Island

[hollow kraken]

😭

[hollow kraken]

I MEAN WAYY BACK

LIKE BEFORE HENG SWORD WAS IN THE MODE

[astral citrus]

Just total or a specific type

[hollow kraken]

when they added heng sword the villages came along with it
