    I'd highly recommend against bard. I know people that played the other versions says they're hot shit in whatever end game content they're doing, but it's painful to play in my opinion. It's a class that has to play in melee range but is like a wet paper bag. And then as mentioned, so many of...

    I've gotten it a few times in the last week, but also crashes where the game just completely shuts.

    They really need to fix the welcome reward to make it harder for the gold sellers. It won't fix it all since they're grinding literally everything now, but it'd be a start.

    My biggest complaint is one which I actually don't think ever gets fixed. The best content in the game, bar none, is the abyss dungeons. And they're gated to only he available once a week for maybe 30-60 minutes total. It's depressing.

    That's true, but a lot of the complaints are because they half assed it, giving us only pieces of T3.

    Don't forget getting absolutely dumpstered by RNG. I'm pretty sure I have about as many failures (150) at ilvl 1357 as Voldeth did at 1370. With the added bonus that I still have the worst attempts left to go. Oh, and even better is that I'm a moron like you so I have about 1/8th the gold he...

    I really want to save my last two slots for lance master or reaper (or maybe scouter over lance if it doesn't get a rework since I've heard it's not great in PvE). Daid was trying to convince me to try artillerist back on like day 2 or 3, and his stories about being a tanky bitch makes it super...

    It's crazy to me people haven't noticed inflation in food. Didn't they just say year over year it's up 24%? That's not a small amount. And it hits groceries and eating out, so it's not like you're avoiding it somehow.

    I'm super jealous of you all that managed to blow past me. I hit 1355 today. I figure another two weeks before I get to 1370.

    I'm curious what other people's failures are at. Although, as @Voldeth mentioned in game, it counts all characters, so maybe not super useful. I've mentioned before that my luck seems to be abnormally shit in T3 so far, but I'm at 138 fails (with chars at 1353, 1307, 950, and 855). I think my...

    What ilvl are you all taking your alts to in T3 before funneling mats to your main? Should have my first one in T3 once I finish running the Punika story. Wasn't sure when I should stop (1302, 1325, 1340?).

    Yeah, it's weird, been in T3 for a few weeks now but I'm still struggling with finding a gear set that isn't shit. T2 it felt really good/easy to get.

    You may have already done it, but a good reminder is to make sure you hit everything.

    I'm out of town the last two days, but my first alt should hit t3 within a day or two of getting home. I won't say I'll be "swimming" in t3 mats, but it'll be nice for sure.

    80g for leapstones? That'd be a bargain on US East. I've been selling them for like 235-250, and apparently that's after the price fell big time.

    Guess I'm glad I took some advice a couple weeks ago about selling all mats. I didn't do all of em, but made probably a good 20k extra gold. Think I'm sitting around 40k gold with 2k BC. It's not as much as I'd want, but it'll do for a while. Hopefully with these changes I can brute force the...

    There's something in t2 I think that gives you a speed buff after dashing. I think it's t2 because I had it on my blade but once I got into t3 I lost it, and my pally in late t2 has it now. I don't see it on any equipment though. But when I'm doing something like Tooki and I dash, I jump out in...

    I mentioned it in chat, but Monday I had 9 failures, including 8 in a row on a single piece (9 was on weapon), and that was on +11/12 so not even getting the really crappy odds yet. I think yesterday was 2 for 4 or 5. But that's after failing so much I finally got into the 30% range in those...

    What a weird event. It's literally just a random character on your roster logs in for battle chests? Anyway, glad they're fixing the timer. I haven't done islands in two days outside of Tooki.

    This might be my biggest complaint about the game. I really enjoy the abyss dungeons, especially with the guild. But they're locked to once a week. Your most fun content is once a fucking week? Oh, and then things like Vold won't participate because his hard mode ones share the same lockout...

    I haven't quit, but man the t3 grind is a really massive misstep by either AGS or Smilegate. I basically don't even want to play my main anymore because I just fail and fail some more. Log in to do an hour of dailies for mats and flush them all down the toilet in 20 seconds. This seems like...

    Well from what I've read, they also borked this by leaving a bunch of stuff out, or moving things like hard mode abyss to 1370. These are things that would've helped ease the pain of getting to 1370.

    So after watching that Asmon video, I'm even more impressed with getting to 1370. That's ridiculous. What's the general strategy? Is it cheaper to just smash them with low percentage, or better to buy the increased chances mats? And at what point would you start doing that if so? I really...

    Could be worse, I'm getting pity stacks around +10/11 on my main in T3, and now on my fucking alt at like +12/13 in T2. I've got some terrible luck lately. I failed 4 90% hones yesterday.

    You kind of nailed bard. My issue with them is the range on the spells are also shit. Unlike Paladin shield, you basically have to be on top of the other players for it to hit.

    Which is weird, because Yorn is awesome with everything so close. My only complaint is having to go into that building for the broker. But otherwise it and I think Luterra are the only ones where everything is at the same triport (Stern is okay, but tower/cube/boss is all up by Sasha).
