Completed the quest though so success 😂

steady tulip
#

you know if cyber bullying has a game, this will be it

#

they kill you not for the loot, just blood thirst

zealous basin
#

In the old map, these fools would camp the exits and team with other people to block all exits

steady tulip
#

back in season 0, an "esport pro gamer" with his squad did this to me

zealous basin
#

Just to stop solos from even playing the mode

#

Like

#

TEAMING

#

Not just 3 people

#

Bringing 6 PEOPLE into a lobby

#

Just to stop the solos

#

?????????????

steady tulip
#

Common scene in Sea

zealous basin
#

I will always consider teams in this mode to be scum because of this

#

But now in the new map they can't do that

#

I hope they're miserable

steady tulip
#

just not on discord

lucid quest
steady tulip
#

you know what is worse than pvp with 6 people?

zealous basin
#

9?

steady tulip
#

tianhai threw you in glitch spot

zealous basin
steady tulip
#

good luck reporting him

zealous basin
#

LMFAO

steady tulip
#

this is why SEA server is nearly dead nowaday

#

who wanna play that mode with so much cheaters around

#

and last season, the 2 tops players were clones from the same cheater

zealous basin
#

Cheaters will destroy a game

steady tulip
#

NA is pretty tame tbh

zealous basin
#

Then be like "Why is no one playing"

steady tulip
#

just sweat bullying new kids

zealous basin
#

They are the scum of the earth and I wish they'd be purged from the internet

#

NA is funny

#

I like seeing new players and getting a free fight off them 😂

#

I remember I once managed to win a 1v3 and that felt nice

#

Felt like a moment of my growth from when early in my Naraka life

#

My team got 1v3'ed by a Kurumi

#

I wanted to cry

steady tulip
#

I remember I once managed to lose a 1v3 and that felt NOT nice

zealous basin
#

She just manhandled us by herself 😭

lucid quest
#

There's still some trios gankers in NA but I guess it depends who you run into and what time of day you play

#

I went up to the far north chest in old map just to see if it was free, it was taken, but not even going hostile, just hiding to avoid anyone, the Justina immediately went after my blue gear and I stood no chance. Only for her to take one item at most

steady tulip
#

Haven't encountered gankers in NA lately

#

most of the old one just left

#

mode just boring after you reached a eclipse

lucid quest
#

I definitely couldn't encounter them tail end of the last season because I think they all got fatigued

zealous basin
#

Good

steady tulip
lucid quest
#

Also had one Zip relentlessly attempting to murder me too and it was another team situation

zealous basin
#

I somehow reached level 40 last season and then gave up cause gankers everywhere

lucid quest
#

I've had maybe a 10% success rate emoting to say I'm friendly

zealous basin
#

Gave up on doomed

#

I was just in perilous doing dailies and enjoying my character skins 😂

lucid quest
#

I haven't given up on Doomed yet but that's me taking advantage of the dead queue times

#

Where I'm basically just guaranteeing I won't run into anyone

steady tulip
#

introvert behavior

lucid quest
#

Although it's way easier with this map to survive

steady tulip
lucid quest
zealous basin
#

This map is a dream compared to last season's horrid situation

#

Devs hate solos so much

#

They added the underground escape

#

And then made it so that the entire planet knows if you're trying to use it

#

Making it useless

lucid quest
#

Honestly don't have any idea what the underground escape route is

zealous basin
lucid quest
#

But I like the pay void coins to leave one is essentially just a free W

zealous basin
#

Also in the new map this season

#

If gankers try to camp an exit

#

They risk dying

#

Because a blue gear can just jump in and stall them for 60 seconds and they both die

#

But blue gear only loses blue gear, lmao

#

If a celestia ever lost their loot to me because of camping an exit like that, I would laugh about it for a week

lucid quest
#

I mean they also risk wasting time entirely because they can't seriously tell who is and isn't going to perma stay on the outerworld in the match or already left

#

Let alone all the alt objectives and win conditions added

lucid quest
#

Because I thought it was an underground escape in the new map

zealous basin
lucid quest
#

I spammed tf out of that exit when I knew for sure no one was around, because it meant a near guaranteed 4M

zealous basin
#

We don't need it though because of the pay exit ❤️

lucid quest
#

In general the new map is just way more fun tbh

#

Far more to do than just rush to the fire crates and then twiddle your thumbs until it's time to leave

zealous basin
#

Or if you're a rat

#

Load in then die

#

Now you can actually play the mode

#

Even steal crates from trios and sweats

#

All you need is a birb

#

Or a lucky spawn

#

I remember when the devs nerfed the mole hooks

#

And it showed me just how evil they are

#

The only purpose of the nerf was to make running away from ganks harder

#

It was genuinely psychotic

#

"If you're in a 1v3, you shouldn't ever escape. You're supposed to DIE always"

#

The underground part of molehook is still 90% useless 😂

#

Everyone can see you and it's so obvious

#

But there're places in new map where you can use it to escape now

lucid quest
#

It doesn't help either that I only really started to get more into it near the end of season 0 when the dopamine finally started to click "oh extremes can actually drop in Perilous." But I was only playing Tranquil until it stopped ranking me up, then I quit perilous realizing you have to know PVP just to survive trios in rift

#

Which yes I like the battle royale component of Naraka but less than 1000 hours compared to someone with several thousand

zealous basin
#

Perilous is fine... in [AS] server at least

lucid quest
#

Tall order especially in Rift

zealous basin
#

Because everyone is in doomed trying to gank

#

I have 2000 hours and I still don't like to fight pvp in rift 😂

#

Because you never know if the other person is like an Esports champion or something

#

All these freaks love to be in default gear too

#

Like they're cosplaying bots

#

It's terrifying

#

Making new accounts just to harass other players 😭

lucid quest
#

Only time I seriously engage with PVP unless I have no choice is the mirror realm part

#

Since it's not your own gear so you can't possibly lose it

#

But imagine if someone was new to Naraka I would have to imagine rift is next to impossible to break into because you have to learn PVP first, before you can think about the extraction part

zealous basin
#

^^^^^^

#

Rift is not possible if you're not already good at Herald's trial

#

I remember someone with purple armor and gold weapon died to me because they were bad at pvp and were trying to be carried by Matari skills (I hate players that are carried completely by their characters like Matari and Kylin)

#

I was all blue and just took all their stuff

#

Because they attacked me

steady tulip
#

man, went i for questing, got the lotus thingy in event instead

#

what a game

#

sheesh

lucid quest
#

Same experience I have playing the evolution mode, like I don't need to be perfect at PVP (I already sweat in PVE as is), but there comes a point that Naraka trying to add more variety or content inadvertently just reinforces how difficult the game is

#

So having strictly PVE half of new rift map is a godsend to let people learn stuff before they get eaten by the wolves immediately

steady tulip
#

if you want to rat on the new map, remember to finish all the quests

#

it raise the threshold limit or something

#

i did not do any quest in the recent game and it capped at 1m8

#

i think the cap could raise up to 2m4

lucid quest
#

Huh, yeah the whole Hawker mechanic confuses me

zealous basin
#

The one time I did it, someone spawned into the lobby to attack me

lucid quest
#

The game doesn't even mention that century chest items don't count towards it

zealous basin
#

The thing is I dropped it and they didn't even WANT the damn thing

#

They just wanted to harass me for holding it

#

Like I escaped

#

I saw them look at it

#

And then COMPLETELY IGNORE IT

zealous basin
#

Ma'am, you ran across the map just to bully me into dropping it, whyyyyyyy

zealous basin
#

It says "You are marked" but it means

lucid quest
zealous basin
#

You're marked with a symbol on your head

#

It doesn't ACTUALLY show your position on the map

steady tulip
#

same mentality of PUBG players

zealous basin
#

It just lets people that see you physically know that you have loot

steady tulip
#

hear gun noises, immediately rush there to die

zealous basin
#

I think it's only if you're a SUPER HAWKER that you get marked on the map

thorn pond
# steady tulip sheesh

PEPE_Joker In matches involving Lotus, I was tricked by their strategy of leaving the map unattended. They hid and made me believe there were no other players.

lucid quest
steady tulip
#

the big bois can't play here Matari_Pepe_Laugh

zealous basin
#

So be careful

#

I know that in the old map

#

While you are still bronze rank

steady tulip
lucid quest
#

There's other players in low rank matches too, at least in solos rift

zealous basin
#

You can go doomed and no one will be there to kill you

steady tulip
#

opened the map just to see a new icon

zealous basin
#

3-minute queues

#

You'll be safe until silver

#

Or so

zealous basin
#

I was doing the EXACT same thing

steady tulip
#

low rank lobby is the best Matari_Pepe_Laugh

zealous basin
#

Saw icon and was like "waz dat 👀 "

#

I grabbed it

#

Suddenly a Zai is running to my location like

#

LIKE WHO EVEN ARE YOU

#

YOU LITERALLY DID NOT EXIST IN THIS LOBBY UNTIL I PICKED THIS UP

#

I thought it was a bot until I saw the gold armor and wanted to cry 😭

steady tulip
#

You summoned the booty grabber once you picked that up Matari_Pepe_Laugh

#

they wanted the booty, not the lotus Matari_Pepe_Laugh

zealous basin
#

Thankfully the booty escaped but BRUH

#

To my fellow rats

#

If you are using mole hook

#

In the new map

steady tulip
#

As a solo player, we really play for this thrill

zealous basin
#

You might be able to escape if you reach the waterway in the middle of the maps

#

Going underground in the waterway makes you VERY hard to see

steady tulip
#

ratting the whole game, fighting against all odd the escape

zealous basin
#

So it is a potential quick escape from sweats

lucid quest
#

Noted

steady tulip
lucid quest
#

Because yeah I usually enter innerworld at the tail end anyways then just make a sprint for it

lucid quest
#

Unless there's specific stuff I have to do in innerworld

zealous basin
#

But sometimes you might be feeling frisky, lmao

steady tulip
zealous basin
#

Go in with a gold declaration thing (that weird item that gives you a pre-made loot build)

#

And just send it

#

You got nothing to lose

steady tulip
#

the pay extract is near water way

zealous basin
steady tulip
#

you could just camp there with teh bois and jump that one player Matari_Pepe_Laugh

zealous basin
#

This knowledge must not be used for such evil

steady tulip
#

but who am i kidding, if we have the bois to back us up, we wouldn't even be a rat in the first place

zealous basin
#

That said, if you do that, you won't be able to catch anyone

#

Mole hook has zero chasing ability Matari_Pepe_Laugh

#

They'll just run away for free

#

This is only for escape

steady tulip
#

Tessa: Am i a joke to you?

zealous basin
#

Yes, actually, you are

#

Tessa was one of the worst things to happen to Naraka

#

Her ult will forever be the worst decision they've made

steady tulip
#

indeed

#

until the katana silence appeared

zealous basin
#

I've thrown entire ranked games just to grief whoever was playing Tessa

steady tulip
#

like, what am i supposed to do once i got hit with it?

zealous basin
#

Like I am in solos

#

3 people left

#

I am watching the last 2 duke it out

#

One of them is a Tessa

#

And I am IMMEDIATELY griefing the Tessa

#

Just to make her lose

steady tulip
zealous basin
#

Should have picked a sane hero

#

Skill issue

steady tulip
#

you know, if you play escape from tarkov, you would make the rat community proud

#

you have potential

lucid quest
#

Thinking about it too, the new map makes the engage weapons actually worthwhile to use

#

Since you're not under constant threat of going against PVP

solid kraken
#

i need to add engage to my pink broken katana

lucid quest
#

Actually I just thought too, I haven't touched the old map in a hot minute, but I know the floating islands had that gimmick of if you brought Holoroth's Crown to that altar, it would summon Manticore. I never got to do that myself, but now Doomed is completely removed from selection for it

#

So is that part of the map just effectively lost media now? Because what are the odds of that ever spawning in Perilous now

#

I know it can spawn, but you'd have to be extremely lucky

thorn pond
lucid quest
#

Does spamming ping to check if there are other players in the match with you still work on the new map? I haven't seen it work but idk if that's just because of the wider area to run in

zealous basin
solid kraken
#

but u can see their weapons and cosmetics usually

lucid quest
#

Weird, maybe next map they make they'll change it where the players are invisible but their usernames and titles are still floating

#

And then next map after that, cutting edge technology, it'll just show you who has or hasn't killed Moonbane or Sunwing in battle royale that day

#

Endless possibilities to half tell you who is with you instead of just telling you

solid kraken
#

they could just do it like tournament

#

u see everybody with basic skin and no names

#

or hide everybody and add alive counter?

lucid quest
#

I think if they did the latter they'd worry people would catch on bots are with them. Ignoring the fact people already go out of their way to sus out if bots are with them

#

But that would make the most sense than just having people be invisible

#

does anyone knows about this armor what its skill does Sacred Healling Rattan
what means by Remains

solid kraken
#

remains means the body on floor, the cairn or whatever u call it

#

problem is it doesnt work if ur entire team is dead already or if u play solo

#

and u need to pair it with the bag that prevents looting body

#

else people will just take ur gear

#

before u res

true yacht
solid kraken
#

one is this big wooden box

#

other is this small leather bag

true yacht
#

yes

solid kraken
#

the leather bag type prevents enemies from looting ur body until its fully dead

#

so u need it

true yacht
#

wow

solid kraken
#

or else they will wipe ur body clean before u res

#

so u have nothing

#

and its effectively useless

solid kraken
#

there is also strat where u go in with grey/blue anti-loot bag

#

and inside place red wooden box bag

#

so for fighting u have the looting protect

#

but if u are done fighting/nobody in lobby

#

u can switch to red wooden bag for more loot capacity

true yacht
#

enemies can loot my gear ?

#

if i have this leather bag

solid kraken
#

they can loot after ur body fully dies

#

to the point where u cannot be resed by teammates

true yacht
#

oh

solid kraken
#

(just also remember if u play solo this bag is effectively useless anyway)

#

since ur body will insta die when u are last team member

true yacht
solid kraken
#

yes

#

with small amount of hp

#

like 20% hp or something

#

so if someone is guarding ur body

#

u will be mega dead

#

but a lot of people forget to check

#

for green effect

#

on body

#

and u can get lucky and res

#

and run away

#

and heal

true yacht
#

and what that armor does

#

Rattan Armor Swallow

#

i was climbing a wall and system show me to press space button

#

i dont get it the use of it

solid kraken
#

this armor adds green focus mechanic

#

like from glyph

#

in normal ranked

#

this armor is absolute dogshit never use it

#

u should only use firmness armor anyway

#

or pink armor with firmness forged on it

true yacht
#

combined with

#

if i play solo

solid kraken
#

for solo i'd recommend dragonforce armor

#

i mean in general

true yacht
#

Quadra Revision maybe

solid kraken
#

i'd recommend dragonforce

#

it gives u free combo breaker

#

and draco for 15 sec

#

is nice

true yacht
#

yeah for teamplay sounds good

solid kraken
#

quadra reversion got kinda nerfed pretty hard recently

#

elemental effects have much longer cooldowns

true yacht
#

rattan armor transform is for fighting bots only ?

solid kraken
#

yeah its good only for pve

#

for PVP is horrible

#

for PVP u need always firmness armor + 26% dmg reduction

true yacht
#

and bolt shouljades

#

and skyforce

okay i need to ask before i go which one is it ?

#

i know its funny but this game mode do not have best translation on english so you never know xD

solid kraken
#

this armor will probably cost u like 10m on market at least

hollow finch
#

Kinda new to the rift traversal what are things item wise I should focus on? Are herbs & cuisine used for anything particularly?

solid kraken
#

u can sell everything except mystique silver/feather gold/sea dragon scale and stuff u need for storage upgrades

#

worst case scenario u sell some crap and then buy it back from market for slighlty higher price

hollow finch
#

This is basically my store room right now

hidden wolf
#

Extreme weap, keep

#

Sea Dragon scale, keep

#

Everything else after the sea dragon scale, you can sell

solid kraken
#

keep 3 hand saws and 3 bellows (purple items)

#

they are for season contract later on

#

unless u did it already

hidden wolf
#

^Ye

#

Like, when I look at this if it was my inventory, I'd go:

#

"Begone, I need money"

#

River Runs Red is good if you aren't good at PvP, like I'm not (I'm aight, I play Wuchen so I get targeted and eaten alive)

#

Always try to focus on your quests

#

Imba gives a lot of advice and clears stuff up that even I didn't understand

hollow finch
#

Alright so basically unless I need it right away to a quest or upgrade get rid of it. got it! Thanks

hidden wolf
#

Ye, esp since you're new

#

Try to work on your upgrades

hollow finch
#

Yea I like rivers runs red but I’m always forced to go to the PVP area to extract bc I’ve been getting good loot and keys yes I mean in roughly about 48 hours I’ve made it pretty far

hidden wolf
#

ik that if I load into a match with other people, I try to get 70k

#

and bolt for the 70k exit

#

it insta-teleports you out

solid kraken
#

?

#

like u just touch npc and boom?

#

or u need to hold down key

hidden wolf
#

also, off topic, but THESE EXIST???

#

Lemme clear some stuff and take that exit

hollow finch
#

It’s taking me so long to find matches today ugh I need the solo to hurry up and open I wish it was 24/7

solid kraken
#

should take max 6 min in perilous or 8 in doomed

#

if u take it out

hidden wolf
#

I queue in 3 mins.

solid kraken
#

but thing is

#

there are multiple queues

#

in each difficulty

#

based on loadout value

hollow finch
#

I am solo queue no fill

solid kraken
#

so sometimes it takes forever

#

to find people

hidden wolf

Below Eclipse, I queue in 1min or less D:

or u can get people all time

gentle tiger
#

been reported that ho & nothin from netease

hidden wolf
#

They only work if you aren't the party lead, which is annoying

#

Like, what's the point of them if I can't use them

gentle tiger
#

i somehow wish that rift traversal was more like sea of thieves. instead of having rounds and extraction timers, just let people extract loot out on their own pace on a persistent lobby/map.

#

kind of like gta online lobbies

#

would fix all the queue issues with rift..

tawny kelp
#

You'd have teams camping every exit and cycles of revenge giving you no peace. No bueno

lucid quest
#

Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster, especially with the teaming issue

#

And then good luck completing certain contracts that way

solid kraken
#

at this point u turn rift into some hardcore PVP mmo or something

lucid quest
#

It sort of already is one with the fact you can take almost everything an enemy drops

#

Outside of century chest and keys in the key case

#

Only difference is it's not persistent open world, but instances

gentle tiger
tawny kelp
gentle tiger
#

round based + low pop = queue hell

#

non round based it's less of a factor.

tawny kelp
#

Is this with no-fill? I get that it's not ideal, but it works for a lot of us

lucid quest
#

You already random spawn in Rift and teaming still became an issue

tawny kelp
#

Yeah, the maps aren't massive

gentle tiger
#

actually, in sea of thieves they have a mechanic to promote teaming

lucid quest
#

Give them an inch, they will take a mile

gentle tiger
#

you can make an alliance with enemy pirate crew and wreck stuff

#

but that's also the point of extraction, is to sometimes make friends and to team up instead of just fight eachother all the time.

#

so in a persistent lobby, a troublesome enemy alliance would be marked for all to see and to take down

tawny kelp
#

Teaming up to kill and loot solo players is not good for a gaming community. It kills pop

gentle tiger
#

but in a round based game, punishing teamers is a lot harder.\

gentle tiger
#

then it becomes simply a part of the social ecosystem of the game.

#

for example, in sea of theives, although the solo has less firepower, he can outrun and outmaneuver bigger teams, allowing for more loot opportunity

#

so there is still a place for the solo rat playstyle, but also teaming has it's own place.

tawny kelp
#

The small traversal maps are not like controlling a ship on a massive ocean.

gentle tiger
#

the idea is that you want to reward multiple playstyles, rather than constrict players to one.

jovial epoch
#

2 gold treasures and the game gave me 2 purple weapons.

tawny kelp
#

It's not a good comparison

jovial epoch
gentle tiger
#

but i also agree they would need to expand the map quite a bit for a persistent lobby. not sure the current maps would seamlessly be applied

#

all i know is it would be sweet to just log into rift traversal and hang out in the mode for a few hours (or however long my playsession is) without the downtime of queues in between

#

i think i currently spend more time in queue than in game, which is just sad. if the mode continues like that it's sure to die.

tawny kelp
#

Have you tried no-fill or playing during lonely traveler hours?

gentle tiger
#

yes

#

i've tried fill on/off, replenish with bots on/off, queue for solo, etc. the mode is just dying on NA

lucid quest
#

I don't think I was playing Rift when it was a thing, but it surprises me the devs thought at one point making queue not put you in any match if no one else was playing was a good idea, at least from what I heard

#

Despite it being a side mode

#

But even now going upwards of 8 minutes just to get into doomed is kinda ridiculous

tawny kelp
#

At what rank do the queues become that long?

gentle tiger
#

idk i was rank 1 for NA on season 0 tho and it's only gotten worse

solid kraken
#

this is less about rank and more about loadout

tawny kelp
#

loadout affects queue times?

gentle tiger
#

it's theorized too, yes

solid kraken
#

affects what people can go together in lobby with u

gentle tiger
#

there seems to be some hidden matchmaking mechanic that tries to put you to similarly geared players

solid kraken
#

e.g. last season if i played with full pink gear but it was already degraded and soon needed repairs

#

i'd start getting some rats with purple armors

gentle tiger
#

another reason a persistent lobby would be better than matchmaking with 101 different variables that split the population

solid kraken
#

if everything was full repaired

tawny kelp
#

Isn't it also theorized that better loadout = better loot?

solid kraken
#

then no more random rats

solid kraken
#

in the sense

gentle tiger
#

yeah, wear pink, more likely to get pink mats

solid kraken
#

better loadout lets u join better lobby

#

but there is a lot of weird crap behind it

#

like idk seems like blue gear with gold rubrics

tawny kelp
#

I usually just use legendary gear*. Queue time is 1-2 minutes on no-fill and there are rarely players

solid kraken
#

somehow goes into top tier lobbies in doomed

#

idk

solid kraken
gentle tiger
#

if you turn off replenish with bots in the settings, you will notice the queues quadruple in length

solid kraken
#

1-2min may be indeed just bot lobby at low rank below 2500

#

or well if its console

tawny kelp
solid kraken
#

i guess bot fill lobby it is

solid kraken
gentle tiger
solid kraken
#

at some point

gentle tiger
#

people that are pve focused and just going for loot per hour, no

solid kraken
#

will be kinda pointless

tawny kelp
solid kraken
#

u play tranquil path?

#

or what

#

u have less than 1 mil per game?

tawny kelp
#

No, Perilous or Doomed

#

I could be wrong. I'd have to check

solid kraken
#

whats the color of loot score

#

when u end game

gentle tiger
#

should be netting around 3 mil per run on doomed

solid kraken
#

purple

tawny kelp
#

Red, usually

solid kraken
#

red is 4mil +

tawny kelp
#

Isn't S rank 240k?

gentle tiger
#

on aquilas anyway, im not familiar with river

solid kraken
#

gold 2.4m

#

pink 6m

tawny kelp
#

Oh. I guess I'm missing a 0 then

solid kraken
#

u can do 5-6m every run on perilous, at least on aquila

tawny kelp
gentle tiger
#

at the end of the day, it is just RNG tho

solid kraken
#

if u take double toughness red weapon and double toughness gold armor*

tawny kelp
gentle tiger
#

yeah on perilous i have a tougher time, forgot doom on aquilas was nuked

#

rip the goat

solid kraken
#

doomed on new map

#

seems to have abnormally high rates of huge extremes

tawny kelp
#

The new map is much harder to escape

solid kraken
#

like the 22mil spear

#

and stuff

gentle tiger
#

i'm not a big fan of the new map tbh

#

the sundial mechanic is probably my least favorite aspect

solid kraken
#

new map is kinda cool but dunno about the outerworld/innerworld stuff

#

and getting scammed from big chest coz some dude spawned closer

#

and i cannot attack him

gentle tiger
#

love all the new quests, and the new areas. but yeah innerworld/outwerworld feels weird.

tawny kelp
#

I think it's cool, I just can't escape on Doomed without dropping most of my loot

#

not sure how I'm supposed to get 70k to pay to escape

solid kraken
#

also the fact both inner and outer

#

have full map worth of loot

#

its a bit much

gentle tiger
solid kraken
#

and do random ass quests

lucid quest
#

My only issue with the new map so far (besides King Qian Bow being nearly impossible to forge as a solo player, and even then, the contract is so strict), the verticality and rocks on the mountains makes grappling upwards pretty awkward. But besides that, just remove the underground areas and it'd be perfect for battle royale too

solid kraken
#

in outerworld

#

literally nothing can go wrong

tawny kelp
solid kraken
#

well the only thing i can say

#

u can make pink katana

#

and use it without repairing

#

it demolishes all mobs stuff

tawny kelp
#

It's durability never drops?

solid kraken
#

it will break eventually

#

but even fully broken

#

does good dmg

#

and has massive aoe

tawny kelp
#

I see

solid kraken
#

broken weapons deal 50% dmg

tawny kelp
#

You know what they really needed to do? A mirror realm type event for the new map. Making people lose gear on a map they don't understand is awful

solid kraken
#

the start was kinda scary

#

when u dont know

tawny kelp
#

Would've helped people ease into it and figure stuff out without risking gear

solid kraken
#

how to even extract

#

xd

tawny kelp
#

I still don't really know. I've escaped twice with the 10 lb portal and once with the paid.

solid kraken
#

well if u solo

#

i'd always go for paid portal

#

if u 2 or more

#

just go the gate at the top

tawny kelp
#

Don't you have to spend most of your time on quests and fights? (for the Doomed paid)

solid kraken
#

u just open it and go

solid kraken
#

camps give 15k and quests 20k

#

so like 2 camps 2 quests

lucid quest
# solid kraken how to even extract

Season 0 rift was a nightmare for this reason, especially when you realize "oh you need to be good at battle royale already to stand a chance against good players"

tawny kelp
solid kraken
#

so u will take some dmg

tawny kelp
#

Too much on solo?

solid kraken
#

but that gate cannot be opened solo

tawny kelp
#

Oh

solid kraken
#

need at least 2

tawny kelp
#

How long does it take to open?

solid kraken
#

idk like 3 sec to charge the ram

#

and then 3 sec animation

#

and 12 sec waiting for portal to activate

tawny kelp
#

Ah

solid kraken
#

then portal takes maybe 4 sec?

#

it goes very fast

tawny kelp
#

Has anyone made a good looting route yet?

solid kraken
#

if u want doing 70k

#

u prob want to do letter quest + sneak in quest + 2 camps

tawny kelp
#

Is the sneak in with that general mini-boss?

solid kraken
#

delivery to house of spring is also easy

#

sneak in u go to mega big building and fight guy with fan

#

and a lot of hp

tawny kelp
#

I wasted a lot of time killing him lol

solid kraken
#

i mean u should be able to kill him in like idk

tawny kelp
#

Would've been cake as a trio... or maybe if I used better than gold gear

solid kraken
#

30-40 sec

#

solo

#

max 1min

#

although if u just want money u dont even need to kill him

tawny kelp
#

Yeah, I was just trying to conserve durability so I assassinated, ran, repeat

solid kraken
#

just deliver the item on table

solid kraken
#

coz

#

u wasting too much time

#

if u save a few repair kits

#

but loot 2 mil less

#

well

#

it doesnt save anything

tawny kelp
#

The repair kits take so long to craft though

solid kraken
#

buy them from shop

#

for money

tawny kelp
#

Redeem or from players?

solid kraken
#

from market

#

u can redeem too if u heavily use that weapon

tawny kelp
#

Market never has stock for me

solid kraken
#

hm

#

maybe check other servers

tawny kelp
#

I've been using gold fan and dual halberds

solid kraken
#

if u want killing mobs fast

tawny kelp
#

Maybe celestia and extreme kits are more commonly sold?

solid kraken
#

just go katana with charged bolt + bolt resonance

gentle tiger
#

can you buy pink repairs on market now?

solid kraken
#

u cannot trade celestia

gentle tiger
#

🤯

#

aww

#

yeah i noticed this season is WAYYYY harder to craft pink gears

tawny kelp
#

But celestia weapons are still effective when degraded?

gentle tiger
#

lot more gated mats

solid kraken
#

there is not much difference

#

all these mats

gentle tiger
solid kraken
#

its just money matter

#

u can buy always

gentle tiger
#

not on NA, the mats sold out

solid kraken
tawny kelp
solid kraken
#

it would be 130% base dmg vs 155% for purple

#

but if u have pink with all the good effects

gentle tiger
#

but if you include the extra effects, it balances to similar effectiveness

solid kraken
#

like soulslash, divine thunder etc

tawny kelp
#

Ah

solid kraken
#

its kinda like gold

#

in performance

gentle tiger
#

yeah, somewhere between purp and gold. not bad not great

#

but.. free

#

lol

solid kraken
#

pink katana is crazy tho

tawny kelp
#

Do you ever run Doomed solo no-fill on the new map, Imba?

solid kraken
#

i think pink katana broken is on par with red

#

maybe even better

gentle tiger
#

yeah if you just use it as a bolts applier

#

i can see that

solid kraken
solid kraken
#

thing is thunder does full dmg

#

and is AOE

#

and swift lets u spam soulslash 1 charge

tawny kelp
#

Ah. I was curious if you though it was better than Perilous Aquila in avg loot to play in this way

#

I think I've gotten less loot from the new map in my experience

#

(including the stuff I had to drop to exfil)

gentle tiger
solid kraken
#

yeah new map gives less loot on average

thorn pond
#

I played continuously for about 16 hours but didn't encounter a single match with Lotus.

solid kraken
#

but has bigger chance of crazy extremes

gentle tiger
#

but if you as a solo can exfil uncapped frequently i'd say it's worth it

tawny kelp
solid kraken
#

the game will be either nothing special

#

or crazy

#

nothing in between

tawny kelp
thorn pond
solid kraken
#

its kinda sadge lotus ding has no gameplay purpose

#

other than bad valiant scanner

#

it could drop some relic at least or something

#

or give 1 big chest

tawny kelp
#

The 2nd time; I managed to get the Lotus, and would've managed to escape in a nick of time, but then a bot team* made me lose everything but the lotus Tianhai_KimchiDerp

thorn pond
#

mmmam Not interested in getting a limited-edition skin?

tawny kelp
#

Might've still been worth it, idk. I just had legendary gear

solid kraken
thorn pond
tawny kelp
#

What's the drop percentage?

solid kraken
#

no clue but probably 0.0000000001% or something

tawny kelp
#

Classic

solid kraken
#

droprates are basically

thorn pond
#

No one is selling it yet, not even Sever CN.

solid kraken
#

50% wonder chest, 25% cavalry, 25% tidal

solid kraken
tawny kelp
solid kraken
#

is it sellable?

tawny kelp
#

I didn't think the outfit and spear were stars

thorn pond
#

All are tradable.

tawny kelp
#

Hmm

#

Not relevant for me on Xbox

#

But makes me wonder if there's a limited stock

thorn pond
#

pepetom Perhaps I'll try searching on CN's own trading page.

tawny kelp
#

Is there mention of a limited stock or end date for lotus ding?

#

I thought they were a permanent replacement for wonder chest, since there's no real info on them

gentle tiger
#

do yall think aquilas less pop than rivers?

solid kraken
#

idk

gentle tiger
#

what map/difficulty has the highest traffic?

solid kraken
#

thing is

#

in river

#

pvp barely exists

#

u need to play at least doomed

#

and camp

#

to get a fight

gentle tiger
#

yeah that's what it feels like to me.

solid kraken
#

and even then

#

if its not full trio

#

maybe they go

#

10 lb

#

or 70k portal

#

or god knows where

gentle tiger
#

or not ever even touch underworld

#

lol

solid kraken
#

if u find anybody to fight

#

its only coz they are greedy for some loot

#

and u fight over big chest

#

or something

#

also since the portals are open till end of game

#

its hard to camp

#

e.g. if u camp 10 lb

#

at some point u gotta leave

#

and go gate or whatever

#

with rest of ur team

#

or u die

gentle tiger
#

new mode idea, showdown invasions. let me invade people that are doing showdowns dark souls/elden ring style

#

lmfao

thorn pond
#

No one has put it up for sale yet.

solid kraken
#

ok so it has only

#

0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% drop rate

#

i thought its not tradeable

#

but if tradeable

#

odds must be even lower

lucid quest
#

What does the red gift item give you anyways?

solid kraken
#

some banner spear

tawny kelp
#

For the launch video, they opened 20 lotus dings and didn't get one. Kind of funny that they couldn't even show it as a teaser

#

The launch video said "limited-time treasure" but listed no end date

lucid quest
#

I wonder if the tradable tidal and cavalry chests will remain after the fact or if this is a one time gimmick

#

I would hope it's at least the former or something because it's already difficult waiting for them to rerun as is when they have to fight for space with the other chests on rotation

tawny kelp
#

Yeah, I don't think I'm ever getting them outside of this. They aren't worth using a choice gift on

tawny kelp
lucid quest
#

I've only really played since last year (despite buying Naraka all the way back in 2022, life prevented me from playing). So no idea which ones have gotten the most reruns, but it's not a lot

#

Aeon reran some point last year, on 4th anniversary they reran IIRC, Tidal, Cavalry, Echelon and Mythic? And they reran the other lanterns last Chinese New Year like they are now

#

Cavalry was specifically because Tianhai and Tarka Ji's Bruce Lee skins are locked in the Cavalry chest. At least for as long as they were allowed to be available

tawny kelp
#

They were removed?

#

The skins*

lucid quest
#

Yeah you can check for yourself, even if you don't have any chests, you can still see what's in a given treasure

#

Tianhai's pose is still there but not the skin

tawny kelp
#

Did Tidal have more skins at one point as well? It seems to be lacking as well

lucid quest
#

All the male Bruce Lee skins aren't available anymore unless they rerun again

lucid quest
tawny kelp
#

Yeah, that was my assumption. I just didn't know about the skins that were removed

#

Does Rift have a rank gap limit?

lucid quest
#

Funnily enough the female Bruce Lee inspired skins are always available to get. But I guess that's because they're not anything Bruce Lee wore

#

I bought Temulch's skin too since some were discounted for a limited time but I got it at the tail end of when it was available. Could've saved 700 gold

ionic quail
#

Where do you find the Prison Key? There are a lot of things they added that I still don't get

gentle tiger
#

btw, is there still no quick use for tacticals on controller?

#

season 2 and this still hasn't been addressed lol

#

should just make it so you press and hold the direction pad left to select whatever heal item, and press and hold right to select whatever tactical, and then quick presses to activate

You got 3 ? I been trying to run rift but nobody’s there for lfg

gentle tiger

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you

zealous basin
#

As in, turn off fill party, select trios perilosu or doomed and send it

upbeat copper
zealous basin
#

Most rift players prefer empty SAFE lobbies

#

You can steal EVERYTHING

#

Fighting is Herald's trial

lucid quest
#

Also the infighting of who gets what loot unless you're all buddies as is and can negotiate

#

Hence people going solos

zealous basin
#

^^^^^^^^

#

Your own teammates steal loot from you

#

If you're not a premade

upbeat copper
lucid quest
#

Season 0 rift was torture with people taking everything for themselves that when a teammate died, I just took his crap from him and even though he revived I got fed up from no progress and just kept it

lucid quest
zealous basin
#

^^^^^

upbeat copper
#

But nobody wants to run it because of the examples you guys are giving

lucid quest
#

Yeah, but if someone runs into a team of more than one person, they could straight up die and lose everything. And you have no idea how good your teammates are if you random queued

zealous basin
#

The unfortunate paradox 😂

lucid quest
#

I haven't used rift lfg because ultimately I know I'm not that good at PVP so I'd rather not drag others down with me

#

Probably similar feelings that others have

upbeat copper
#

Exactly why I’m saying I want people who know what they’re doing 💀 having specifically grinded pvp I want to get into showdown and rift with people

upbeat copper
#

I see that’s unrealistic though I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on it

lucid quest
#

There's a ton of reasons why almost everything you learn in PVP doesn't at all translate to Showdown's PVE gameplay (outside of movement) but I won't get into that. PVP skills definitely translate to rift

#

I think the other problem with rift lfg is if people are into rift, which is few and far between, they just stick with who they already know from what I've seen

#

From what I understand, there's a level of comfort in the extraction genre teaming up with people you trust even if you know they aren't good. Because they ultimately won't screw you over, unlike strangers who could inadvertently throw just to take from you after if they survive

#

I don't play other extraction games though so my knowledge is limited

# light heath I mean, I'm always looking for new people to play rift with. Lmk 🙂

I’d appreciate that lmfao all I was saying. Having solo queue’d ranked since I’ve started to take this game serious and getting maxed ranked in all 3 game modes last season. Being infinite for trios, formless for duos and almost formless in solos. Being top 10 in immortal war trios for console this season I want to try something different hence why I’m getting into showdown too. So when I’m seeing people posting all these screenshots of triple S gear I thought there’d be more of an audience 😂 I only said it was unrealistic to lfg rift cause nobody wants to I see now that’s not “ optimal “ for some people for whatever varying reason that might be and that’s cool its better that I know that instead of going in lfg asking for runs and nobody respond nor give me a reason as to why nobody is responding lmfao.

#

I don’t mind if people all go do their own thing or sharing loot but for absolutely nobody to want to lfg besides the anomaly of chems is interesting in my opinion. Not to say I don’t understand why.

I did not use them even ONCE for the entirety of Aquila's past because I never saw the x28 or x30s in the redeem and craft options

light heath
#

it literally does what you're asking

So I thought they were aggressively inefficient

#

If I can get like 3-5mil per runm 800K on repairs seems a lot nicer

entirely

you should

#

theres a ranged one too, slightly different

oop, just ogot into a solo match

solid kraken
#

if i go perilous path i cant afford to that crap, i'd gimp my pvp capability too much

#

if i go doomed i rather take broken pink katana and listen to "this weapon needs fixing" entire game

zealous basin

Because you don't need "PVP ability" in perilous

solid kraken
#

i mean yeah i could just escape

light heath
#

just matari and 1 v 3

solid kraken

without fighting

#

but the point is i want fighting

light heath
#

so u came rift?

#

lmao

solid kraken
#

yeah i want both fighting and pve

light heath
#

so u came rift?

#

xD

#

im kidding

solid kraken
#

the problem at hand is just that fighting mobs is 99% of time horrible idea

#

in aquila's past optimal rotation included just killing one camp at start for money to get aquila buff

#

and that was entire pve

#

all other mobs were just annoyances

#

that grief u when u open chest or something

#

its never optimal hitting them

#

in new map sometimes u may be forced to kill them for quests

#

but idk these mob quests are absolute trash

light heath
#

they really arent

#

i got spear from one

solid kraken
#

i mean yeah u can drop anything from anything, but based on my general experience these boss chests are nothing special

#

best drop i got from just normal free-standing big chest

#

double 11mil scroll (proc pact)

light heath
#

sounds like something a non quester would say

solid kraken
#

thing is nonquester is doing quests anyway

#

to do contracts

and do lvl 15 stash

zealous basin

and nonquester shakes head at the loot obtained from mob killing quests

#

and u get big chest

#

boss u gotta do first sneak in

#

then kill the mega hp fan guy

prob mobs grief u opening

u gotta kill them

ok u take it

u get key

go all the way

u get 2 more chests

1 small
