 I did it! Along with the new week of event rewards and honing books and such. I've hit 1370! I was curious how much it took so I checked my achievement and I've failed a total of 125 honings. Which I think is average? I thought I got lucky a few times but people were saying around 150 failures when they hit 1370. I guess a lot of bad luck streaks evened it out I just didn't realize. The naruni racing event ends next week right? I guess I don't need to race anymore.

If you have alts you actually play you innately have enough to buy out the vendor without doing a single race.

I should start on them but glavier is coming so I'll wait for that since it looks so much cooler than the current classes. On another note I did Nightfox Yoho for the first time and....whoops?  It was totally an accident. My doomsday was flying from the sky as we all got fox'd and they exploded in one shot because they were under the boss.

That Argos fight is fun. Lots of stuff to keep track of, but they're individually pretty easy and overall it's pretty fun. Took me 136 honing fails to get here, FWIW.

Before I started honing in T3 my plan was to “just” get to 1385 for the stronghold research, but that’s probably a few months out if there aren’t any events like this running. In other news, Blaster has really grown on me. It’s still super frustrating when bosses decide to wander around the whole fight, but I feel like having to actually pay more attention to boss patterns is making me a better player in general. love too shoot rockets at a demon

It is great once you know a fight and hit a boss with every skill because you know when he is going to move or where he is going to stop. Now I understand why swiftness is the preferred stat, you can spam your skills and never stop doing damage.

Before I started honing in T3 my plan was to “just” get to 1385 for the stronghold research, but that’s probably a few months out if there aren’t any events like this running. I got to tier 3 just as the naruni racing event started so it took me about 1 month(I think its been a month) to get to 1370 with all the free materials and books. The guardian event doesn't end next week and according to the roadmap we'll be getting more events too. With south vern opening up we may get more stuff there as well as the weekly guardian stuff. It shouldn't be that bad getting to 1370. I doubt it will take a few months at least. The best part is once you get there, all you need to do is to run the hardmode dungeons and/or argos and you can easily swap to a new set of gear and upgrade to 1385 very easily with high success% chances. Also I just want to complain that you can't get a full set of legendary gear in just one week. It will take you at least a second week to craft the remaining pieces to hit 1385 because the hard dungeons don't drop enough materials. I haven't completed Argos yet but I did run one matchmaking group and it seems pretty simple to do. I will give it another try today and hopefully I luck out on a better group.

You can hit 1385 without your last piece, you just have to hone some stuff a couple more times. It's just a bit easier when you have all 6 pieces.

I am quickly learning that 1350-1370 is basically just mashing Hone on items until you get to 100% artisan energy and praying your gold supply holds out (it doesnt)

Any time you hit a success before 100% pity is a bonus. We have been pretty spoiled by the success rates up to this point, it is not at all what to expect going forward. Now it's all about getting more alts to T3 so you can burn more honing mats every few days if you are trying to stay at the cutting edge of content.

This might not hold up past +15 in some cases but it does to 1370/1415. I've hit safe limit plenty of times, including on 14->15 weapon in t3, but it's important to look at things across all upgrades where most people have pretty average outcomes. I really recommend people start honing once per week after they hit 1350/1355.Only do it more often if you have a good reason. Being able to take 30 swings and get a few guaranteed upgrades is far less taxing & constantly walking to the npc and doing mini hones wastes a lot of time too.

I think the dead zone wouldn't feel so bad if the first t3 hard dungeon unlocked at 1355 instead of both of them being 1370. Theres just absolutely no new content for you in the very extended time between 1340 to 1370. I'm not really complaining because I'm just playing my alts more and really enjoying shock scrapper.

I just completed Argos phase 1 in matchmaking and its super fun. I don't find it super difficult and most of the mechanics are pretty obvious. I really do think most people at 1370 probably have higher player skill and can do things easier. I remember trying to do T2 underwater abyssal dungeons and no one knows how to avoid attacks or do mechanics. What is the item levels for phase 2 and 3 anyways? I suppose I will have to do party finder to get a group for those. Also everyone seems to have their own way of doing positions. I don't know who invented the 1234 NSEW which threw people off and got people killed. I was aware of the 1234 NESW and the +3 clock rule. Plus if they were copying the asian way of doing positions, its NSWE anyways. In north america its NESW. I did record my run if anyone is interested in what Argos is like in a sorceress point of view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZgk_psw5F8 (I'm bad and get hit by a lot of stuff)

For rapport selection chests, Epic can be targetted at whoever I'm boosting at the moment but Legendary/Relic chests don't matter as long as I select the same one if I want the eventual Nia rapport skip right?

Dont quote me but I think theres one specific legendary gift that gives less rapport to men and one that gives less to women but otherwise yeah I think you just need a big stack of the same gift

So here's some dumb first world problem stuff. I got my Astray about a week ago and have been enjoying it especially in sailing co-ops where I can get first place buoy for the grand total of 10 coins instead of 2. But it turns out, you can't grab a speed boost buoy while you still have the speed boost from the previous one and the sailing guild mission I selected for this week requires interacting with 10 buoys for completion. So I'm going too fast and skipping every other buoy which is going to make completing this mission a pain. No, I will not slow down or pick a different ship, I want to use speed boat Astray!

They're also cutting some South Vern content apparently. The game is clearly going to be very good once we have the first few legion raids and all of the side content they haven't added yet. Why their plan is to stall and release it in weird ways is beyond me. For example, they are going to release 1415 + 1445 valtan hard at the same time even though the entry requirement for the next legion's normal is 1430. It would make more sense to do 1415 -> 1430 -> 1445 -> etcetc. Enjoying the game as-is and trying to get a full roster ready for legion. Just a bit confused at some of the release pacing. Especially stuff like skins, they missed out on millions of dollars not having skins in the shop during launch.

Hyper Inferno posted:For the Guardian Raids there's a quest line that actually teaches you the mechanics of each fight. But the quest marker doesn't tell you that the next quest in the line is available, you have to remember that the NPC says where she'll be waiting for you next and head there yourself (or just look at the next guardian on the board). This entire game needs a second pass on the translation/localization. Tons of weird phrasing and half-correct information.

A lot of the voicework doesn't even match the actual dialogue on screen either, so you end up getting these phoned-in, bland performances that are also completely wrong.

I love how useless the run/boost feature is for your mounts. Like, in theory, it should be somewhat useful (like your space bar boat command), but in practice it gets hung up on bullshit 90% of the time I use it. Just running absolutely never gets hung up on anything. Like, ever. Absolutely never. The pathing function works well for normal running, and for some reason does not when using a boost function with your mount. It's so transparently comical, like you'll be normal running, and then the second you hit Q, or whatever, you'll immediately snag something that you 100% would not have snagged if you were to just continue regularly running. I have to assume this is on purpose for slog design because I roll my eyes at it at least a dozen times per hour and wonder why I continue to bother with it as I'm about 90% sure I would get around faster by ignoring it altogether.

No there's 100% something wrong with pathing when you're using an ability, it's the most obvious if you play Gunlancer and use the Shield Charge.
