Against my better judgement/due to crushing boredom I am going to play this. Is there still an active goon guild? Quick research tells me Mystic is also overpowered, is this accurate still?

Quick research tells me Mystic is also overpowered, is this accurate still? If I had to guess the goon guild might be a few afkers at this point, but I'm not in it so I'll let someone else comment for sure. If the goon guild is dead you can find a chill pubbie guild, there are a lot of small-ish guilds out there with all the guild perks who will take any warm body because they need 10 people online to claim guild bonuses and daily guild pay over a certain amount. Mystic is extremely good yes, if you're not sure what class to pick then you can't go wrong by playing mystic. She's easy to play, all her abilities flow nicely into each other, and strong in pvp, which makes the elitepvp crowd really mad. The game added a battle royale mode recently called shadow arena. You know the drill, 50 people enter an area and a circle shrinks down to force the action. You kill mobs and open treasure chests to get equipment and skills for your character. It's actually kinda fun, and is surprisingly rewarding. For new and/or undergeared players, shadow arena will be the best money you can make in the game for a long time. If you get really good at it, the money will be better than grinding for all but the most endgame geared players. They also added something called dark rifts. Every day or two a personal boss will spawn on the world map, killing it drops an accessory box and a material that can be traded in for some pretty useful items. Up to 10 of these can be on the map at once, and if they are too hard they get weaker over time while still dropping the same loot. Also no penalty if they kill you. Oh and they added the new marketplace last week - prices on a lot of items adjust way more significantly than they used to. There are still hard caps but now for a lot of things the cap is high enough that these items are actually sellable for roughly their true market value. For example, memory fragments (1.9m each), and ogre rings (about 170m each) are both sitting on the market now.

If you just want a guild to get guild benefits, we're still kinda around, but it's not terribly active at this point. If you talk in discord, you can still get pretty quick responses there, but the in-game chat is pretty dead

The biggest problem with the game around when I stopped, sometime after renown score which just made it worse, was it didn't seem to subscribe to "all players should be roughly equal in pvp +/- 20% due to gear". Instead, it was more like whale ultra hard and pray for good rng. Some nerds have literally dropped $3k+ and not even gotten the gear they wanted. I had fun playing without spending, but I ultimately quit because pvp felt out of reach even with lots of in-game money. Khorne fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Feb 25, 2019 |

If you want to pvp in this game do shadow arena. Pvp in the actual game is still all about gear, and is only going to be something you do a tiny fraction of the time anyways even if you did have the gear for it.

Khorne posted:This model still works. The modern adaptation lets people sell the timecards in-game and allows people to f2p it up. It's just an ethical model so you aren't stealing as much money from your players. Except it doesn't make as much money so most companies don't do it or at least if they do, they're still combining it with gacha/lottery boxes. I'm not sure what you're expecting from a korean mmo made in the last 15 years. It's made to sink as much time and/or money as you want into the game to maximize pcbang revenue as well as microtransaction revenue. If you want to play this game just for the pvp, find a different game because honestly the pvp is pretty lame and you'll spend like 100x more time doing everything except pvping

I stopped playing because the lifeskills and node system are actually really shallow, everyone I knew quit due to renown score, and I was juggling a lot of obligations. Like most other aspects of the game, lifeskills are designed to seem intricate and cool but really it's just designed to hook new players to "invest" $80-$250 upfront before they realize it has the depth of a puddle. Or maybe lots of people never realize that, I dunno. Khorne fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Feb 26, 2019 |

Well the answer to your question for 'good' gear hasn't changed too much. All tet boss armor and weapons, all tri gold accessories. That's probably the baseline for even low-tier guilds at this point since people are creeping up to having pen gear and tet accessories, and really it's not that hard to get to tet gear and tri accessories if you play frequently.

It's worth giving shadow arena and the new boss content a shot. About six months ago, koreas anniversary event gave out a bunch of free* accessories, up to tri, and na/eu are coming up on three years next week. *You had to enhance free items or something and you would get to keep the good version each week or something **No telling if they will give other servers the same event

They changed how the game renders--overall most things look a little better in the remastered mode, most notably textures were mostly improved. However, it makes it very difficult to see in darker areas (e.g. night, shadowed areas in otherwise bright lighting), and everything is a little shinier than they probably should be. The remastered mode didn't change anything else about gameplay. I don't play on remastered mode because I like being able to see. XBox doesn't have a choice and only has remastered, so you could pop into an XBox stream to take a look--there should be plenty to choose from since the xbox servers just launched

Decided to let the updater do its thing and eventually it was fully updated. The game is still fun. The combat in this game was alway spectacular. A lot of things have presumably changed since last i played (about 2 years ago? A few months after mystic released) I notice the marketplace works differently now, items are simply there instead of you needing to camp the npc and try to be the fastest to bid on something. Bit surprised at the availability of items i figured would still be rare, and how "cheap" they are. There are plenty of TRI Dandelions and they only cost around 600 mil, i was expecting there to be virtually none and them costing billions .There are even several PEN Dande's. I am surprised at how much i have forgotten. I have a character that i used to cook and process with but i honestly don't remember what exactly it was i did. I also have a pretty big worker empire but i remember it being a lot easier to get them to do what i want. I also am not sure why i have so many CP free, i remember being really starved on them. Could someone give me a quick crash course in the big changes to the game?

I don't remember the last time you played but here's a couple changes off the top of my head 1. They added ap brackets where a change in 1 ap that bumps you between brackets can effectively be like 20+ AP. Because that makes sense and all instead of making pen items' stats actually just scale higher than they do so there isn't all this bs non-sheet stats 2. Pet gambling now has visible odds and you don't have to do pets within 1 tier of each other 3. For non-DP builds, DR has generally overtaken evasion as the preferred form of DP. This means urugons and griffon are generally favored over giath and muskans. 4. New gold weapons were released. At this point, none of them are better than kzarka/dande/nouver at the highest end, but for a while offin tett was better than kzarka because there were two forms of GS brackets that artificially boosted your ap, and now there is only one. Or something. 5. Enhancing also has visible percentages. So that's cool i guess. 6. The market as you've noticed is different. 7. Imperial delivery now resets on all channels every 3 hours instead of like half of them. 8. Drieghan and Kamasylvia are both released. There have been at least a couple new classes since you last played, archer, lahn, mystic, striker, and dk from newest to oldest. Pretty sure you were around for at least DK/Striker though.

Thanks. Nothing big that really affects me i guess, except the market. That is some real QOL improvement for someone that has an ~hour to play every day. I think i quit the game back when after spending all my gametime for like a week camping the marketplace to buy a +3 cook outfit. Is processing still the way to go for afk moneymaking? I had a decent processing empire, with the processing clothes, master processer and a huge worker empire dedicated to getting processing materials. EDIT: Also i forgot to ask: If i want full value from selling something, do i need to Value Pack active when i post it for sale, when it sells, or when i collect the money? I am not going to get 30-day packs this time but i have several 7-day ones i plan to use occasionally after saving up a lot of bulk to sell.

Whats the word on this new TET accessory event? Is this like all the other events where you have a "chance" at getting the good stuff but lol tricked ya the chance is literally just 0,01% and all other rolls just ends up being black stones or mem frags, or is there an actual good chance at getting TET? I am wondering if i should bother with the event or just play the game normally. I don't have a lot of time to play so for as long as the event is on all my gametime would have to be devoted to it. I have been burned by events so many times in the past because the chance of getting the good stuff is literally 0,01%

The mob is 'random' from 4 mobs, all are highly farmed currently and getting people to work together in a group is drat near impossible. You get 5 %flavor% moons a day (1 per hour) to enhance that item. Null to pri is 80%, pri to duo is 40% and duo to tri is 5%. FS do not help and you do not gain FS. If you get one to tri you can trade it in for a tri item of the current item. This week it is a Narc, last week was a crescent. If you fail at getting a tri you can turn in 6 of the items and get a duo. It is a bunch of hoops, needlessly.

TLDR if you stay on for the required length of time and run the kill quests you get 48 hits for an overall 35% chance of a TRI. If you fail and have run the kill quest 6 times you turn all your failures for a DUO.

Thanks, yeah im not sure why i wrote TET. I was thinking of items with III on their icon. I have not been active ingame for all that many hours but i have played for quite the number of calendar days by now, and have gotten a huge amount of login rewards. I have never really used any of these, nor have i really felt the need to since i have mostly played different classes to level 56 and awakening and been satisfied with using a +15 green weapon and PRI or DUO grunil armor. I want to take a character further than 56 this time though and get some good gear on it, but am not really sure what the best way to do that is. Should i use my items and enchant stuff myself or should i liquidize all my assets and straight up buy? I currently have, roughly: 600 million silver 1000 memory fragments 1000 black stones weapon 1000 black stones armor 200 hard frags 200 sharp frags 1000 cron stones 30 artisan memories 15 of that golden orb item related to enchanting, i forget its name 30 advice of valks scrolls in various sizes from +15 to +50 a huge amount of accessories like witch rings, red coral rings and what not 20 or so yellow accessories like ogre rings, tungrad earrings 100 Shaktu seals (so i could get a DUO Ogre ring or Tungrad earring) a storage with materials that are worth 2,2 billion according to the UI (probably an unrealistic figure?)

So finally we have the final stage of the TRI event, for Ogre Ring, yay. The first quest sent me to loving Fogans. I have never even been in the desert before (a couple of quests at Nagas but thats barely in the desert) and i get a quest on the far side of it. Took like 45 mins from Heidel to even get there. Fogans were easy enough, either the game has generally gotten easier/nerfed since last i played or mystic is really strong. With the +10 awk weapon from the awk quest i blitzed through em and completed the quest in ~35 mins. Has getting a quest at Fogans been possible for every stage of the event or is it particular to the Ogre Ring stage? Im just worried ill get sent to more really remote spots for the remaining 5 quests. I have very little time to play this week but i would also really like to get a DUO Ogre Ring "for free"

ogre ring is hexe sanctuary, helms, fogans in that order, so tomorrow it'll send you and a third of the population off to a bumfuck calpheon hole with zero density hf helms and fogans are actually very easy and hella density. it wouldn't even be a bad idea to reserve all the pages for a certain day and just smack them all out in one of those areas instead of hexe. the spot you get sent to is based on what day it is, not the event page.

Thanks! Are you sure the location is based on which day the event is at in the rotation? I have done 2 quests in 1 day earlier in the event and could have sworn i got sent to 2 different locations. Im in Olvia so there is not a lot of people competing for the spots. The only time i found it problematic to get kills was during one of the Mansha days and i just changed channel. Also not meant as a nicpick, just trying to clarify what you said: quote:ogre ring is hexe sanctuary, helms, fogans in that order Today was the first day of ogre ring and fogans was first. ?
