    Yeah they did something in the latest patch to move it to a little icon thingy. I was confused for a day or two cause i kept eyeballing the upper left corner for when to start spamming E and was lost. I remembered vaugley seeing something about it as I glanced over the UI changes in last weeks...

    When you're one of the first people on after the servers are up from maintenance (and yall can also enjoy my teamviewer graphics). I also finally got the silver to buy the PEN Urugons and have my pre-order placed. Painful watching your silver total drop down into the five digit range.

    That makes sense. I never attack anyone so I never even think in that way. Hopefully dude did drop a couple Jin Vipers or something :P

    I dont believe crystals can break from pvp, that would be the ultimate troll for the 750gs players to just roll around assblasting people fresh off season servers or something. I honestly think it's kinda dumb for crystals to break period, it makes me very nervous and hesitant to try...

    Heh thanks. That was kinda my thoughts on the whole thing as well. I know mystics are pretty high on the tier lists of pve/pvp while Nova's....arent. Not sure if he was much higher in gear score than me if I managed to kill him a few times. Regardless, i doubt it will be much of an issue til the...

    Caphras is probably the way to go since the DP boost will be bigger for you atm. Only "upgrade" in that price range is probably a TET Disto earring. Btw, Im really jealous of that PEN Blackstar awakening wep. Im not seeing any major AP boosts in my near future as everything is a crazy low...

    They are around 9bil at level 1, 12bil at level 30. It's kinda a double edge sword as to whether to level it up or not. It'd list for more money at 30, but it might be harder to sell if your stats are crap. Plus leveling Dream Horses is annoying as you have to stay on top of each level to make...

    As mentioned, modding a PS1 for Japanese games is by far the easiest way, but depending on how old your console is, you used to be able to do a disc swap trick to load non-US games (PS1's from the early initial console runs were able to do this but it was fixed after a year or so). I can't...

    That's probably the most solid plan. I'm also done with guaranteed PEN armors, I did the Dim Tree and Griffon Helm guaranteed, a third would run me like 9 billion just for the stone from Jetina, not to mention the mountain of Meme frags and Solids. As I get cron stones I attempt a PEN enhance...

    Yeah, my first thought was to up my DP after my Orc tussle. I have 281 Awakened AP on my sheet with god knows how much hidden AP, which on paper is ok for the Orcs, albeit on the lower end. My dp is a bit lower than recommended at 334 but I still lack PEN boots. Saunils might be more in my gear...

    They do give out a LOT of Dream Horse materials these days from events, boxes, loyalty thankfully so the endeavor isnt as horrible as it used to be. It can still take a stupid amount of tries before it works and it's a big cron sink (but if youre serious about getting a Dream horse, you pretty...

    Well, ok. On a whim I bought 4 purified lightstones off the AH. Got a Blight, Strike, and two other random crappy stones. About 7 billion payoff from a 60mil gamble, provided I dont use the Strike. I should probably just use it, even though that 5bil would be nice. Guess my luck is used up for a...

    Both. PEN everything before you graduate off the season server. Actually I dont think early graduation is available yet, so you've got plenty of time to keep grinding stuff, you will have plenty of ore available to fight with those last two PENs before early graduation goes in.

    I ended up going with the same lightstone combo as Chimney (Trained Fists), looks like a good spot to stick with until the rng plays in my favor with a Strike stone (aka never). I forgot they added the private grinding areas, I usually only grind for an hour at a time so this might be a pretty...

    Highest failstack I've got banked right now is 147. I despise the enhance system so much in this game, I never do a PEN roulette and building stacks is always a bridge too far for me most of the time. I've only successfully enhanced one item to PEN (my gloves), rest have been bought or the...

    I also lack a lot of reading comprehension as my backup lightstone plan also included a Strike stone. Ill probably do the same, just look up some sort of passable monster AP combo and run with it for now. Any sort of damage increase will be better than none, even if it's not the best it could be...

    I came across something that suggested that same setup, just wasnt sure if there was better that had been discovered since. I saw another combo (Predation x2, Shadows, Strike) that gives 13 Monster AP, Back Damage +6%, and 3% crit damage that might be what I go with until I come across a Strike...

    Sad thing is season enhancing is soooo much easier than enhancing on regular servers. Finishing a season character puts you into a good position to just grind money and buy upgrades and skip the entire god awful process though. For those that have been playing more than I have lately, are the...

    Thankfully you only have to do it once, then you can hot potato it around to every alt/season character you decide to do from now on. Been doing a Drakania on season, it's a weird class. I kinda like it, but keep reading it was nerfed to shit just before launch for some reason. May give it...

    Yeah I have all the available journal AP/DP upgrades. At this point I think I need a truckload or three of caphras stones to really see much improvement. I only have one piece of armor with a few caphras levels (my PEN Dim Tree chest is caphras level 8 or so). I did manage to PEN my Kutum...

    I love the game, but hate it too. My Nova is 290/330 and getting those upgrades to get to 300ap just seem so far away. Doesnt help that I hate the mindless grinding, I can usually only manage an hour, maybe two, at a time. I try to just buy my upgrades because fuck that enhance system.

    Yep, she feels horrible to play now. It can be kinda funny to enfeeble a genji blade and stuff but it's not a fair trade off considering how she's now just a boring heal-orb chucker. I've not enjoyed this beta phase too much.

    Id put money on the Mythic skins being the final reward for the premium track of the battle pass. With only one mythic skin per season, feels like it'd fit. The quick screenshot of the battle pass showed one of the original Tracer legendary skins as one of the rewards, they gotta put something...
