Also remember that you can minimize this game to the system tray. Doing that will allow all afk activities to still take place with the game minimizing it's use of your hardware and thus power consumption.

What is the most stable way of doing this, End game -> Minimize? I remember seeing the option in there somewhere but don't quite remember where

Did they ever fix that bug where it would crank the GPU to 100% and cause a meltdown if/when the game crashed while minimized-to-tray?

Thanks guy!
So I was sitting in Tarif village buying pots and my camera bugs out and goes to the sky, then I realize there is literally a dude flying in the sky on a horse moving at a meteoric pace.

I thought it was a bug but then apparently its an actual hack. Apparently all skill/item CDs are client-side, so you can literally trick the game into spamming jump button till you are flying across the map at 10x speeds. You'd think they would fix that before moving it to the west... (KMMOs require a Korean ID, so cheating is pretty minimal when you can literally get sued; there was a story of a guy running up a PC Cafe bill, running away and got a in-game mail saying pay the bill or his account would be deleted)



Good news is, you can't really transfer wealth out of your account (exception of buying disco scrolls for 4 other people), so bans are surprisingly effective at dealing with hackers.

Edit: Found this on reddit, which is a pretty good example of it in practice (besides making horses fly)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5BgckRGg9s

It's basically removing the client-side restriction on forced CDs and the server "trusts" client-side information. So basically letting you cancel anything into anything with ability costs set to zero.

With our current pot sizes this is basically impossible to do on 1-2 targets, even running 2 Extraction crystals (you can't do a WoW spam -> Shotgun spam). Not to mention shotgun has a minimal recoil timer even with a cancel.

I live in Florida and I've been mining bitcoins for the Koreans for a solid week now. A GTX 970 draws less power and generates less heat than my lovely video card from 2011. If you can't run a modern gaming computer at night, you should probably sell it and put that money into loving central air

Lol, "punishes." None of the stuff that can should be done afk (you could grind stamina if you're dumb I guess) is remotely related to combat potency, and your nightmare computer-melting scenario isn't something that's going to actually happen unless you have some truly horribly selected components and a house with almost supernaturally bad air circulation.

You're trying really hard to edgily shitpost about a feature most people in this thread enjoy. Sorry I didn't tag along? :frogout:

Once you select the option to minimize my PC temperature drops to room temperature, and the fans don't even run. It seems to reduce CPU and GPU usage to nearly idle and only thing it uses is RAM.

Also, the gains are pretty minimal unless you bought 100s of bag space and have a super upgraded Epheria rod and you'll still make maybe 1mil or so leaving it over night (I do it casually, and it only nets like maybe 200-300k overnight). Which is around 20-30 minutes of grinding at late game? Not to mention you can be killed AFK fishing and lose XP, which is significant above lvl 51.

I mean there are people in this thread literally trolling AFK fishers by throwing them into the ocean to drown and you can lose millions on crystals that way.

Xavier434

The only reasonable argument that I have read which was mildly against afk activities is the idea that if a feature is so dull that most people prefer to participate via afk then the developers should consider redesigning the feature because video games are supposed to be interactive and fun. This argument doesn't necessarily support the removal of afk as part of the redesign. Just changing it so that it is more fun to engage in while actually playing.

I personally don't have any beef with the afk options and rather enjoy them, but I can get behind this argument as well.

I appreciate this post. I'm only 23 so I've been fishing in my Grunil (also I'm a scrub with garbage quest reward crystals and even some empty slots), but this is a good thing to think about when I'm no longer safe from ganks.

On that note, I'm not sure who I was talking to in gchat yesterday, but my wagon survived the night. It appears to be safe to do laps between Velia and Heidel to level your horses, as long as you're under 45 and the wagon is empty.

It might be worth a little time to try some of the other classes anyway. I felt this way too when I first looked at the game, because the OP made Blader sound like the most balanced melee class. Now I can't be assed to stop playing my Tamer and Sorc long enough to even make one, they're too fun

Seconded.

That riding outfit is pretty sweet, but $20 is still an awful lot of doll hairs. Also, what the gently caress is going on with that poor sorceress' waist? Her navel is like a foot and a half above her hips. It looks like you took a human and stretched them like chewing gum. :stonk:

We are going to get tokens as part of the daily login bonus for the next 15 days. Login for 12 out of 15 of those days in order to get the minimum number of tokens that you will need. Arrange 12 of the tokens into a specific pattern in your bag slots. Making the pattern will allow you to transform them into your reward package. That package includes the hawk and other goodies.

I have not seen that confirmed one way or the other anywhere yet, but odds are that these tokens are programmed using the same/similar code that is used for Ancient Relic Fragments. In other words, they will be consumed once combined.

Maehwa, which is the korean name for the class, translates to "plum blossom:"



The fake english translation just shortened it to plum. Evokes different imagery, that's for sure.

In other news:

16 of those are from failing to +14 my liverto. One is from failing to PRI outlaw rings. The rest are from literally trying to +14 my grunil gloves.

... not shown, about 9 more stones to +14 the gloves and then one extra stone to +15 them. :downs: gently caress RNG.
