No, first two gates on hard and third gate was on normal (half our raid hadn't done the third gate yet, so it was a learning running that we switched to normal for).

We finally cleared Vykas as a guild. Was a great week on that front (after a rather sad Valtan experience). Good to get that done in the guild group since a lot of us had to pug. Special shout out to @Cyni for his clutch orb on G2.

Had a hell of a work weekend and was only about to go one night for hard (cleared G1 with pugs). Hoping to have more time to commit next week. Vykas is certainly a pretty steep increase in difficulty for a lot of folks though, I truly do enjoy the gates.

That is impressive, nice man! We made great progress at Gate 1 but couldn't quite put it all together. Can't even imagine a 100% pug for Gate 2. G'luck with Gate 3 though :P

They have done ban waves of gold buyers. It's just that their strategy is retarded and AGS is a clown show. Let's not pretend that this is new for MMOs though, how many MQ2 users did you know that outright abused it beyond being able to track? Pretty much this. I don't know anyone who went the...

Yesterday was quite a good day. Honing worked out and got to 1492 (wanted 1490 for Vykas release, so ahead of schedule): Engravings are still a bit behind where I want them to be but I've gotten the main ones that I wanted for some time: And lastly, finally rocking my 4 piece which is...

HONING BUFF. HONING BUFF. FUCK YES.

Ignoring the fact that AGS are complete incompetent idiots (which any non-retard would agree with) I don't get the outrageous over the patch day. They announced that the June patch would include Vykas and gave details of the update. Someone explain to me why anyone thought that it would be any...

No worries, we'll be running legion raids till something better comes out. Just remember to keep giving me my crit buffs, thanks. As it relates to those who have reached out that are quitting: totally understand and no issues. Was a fun run. For those sticking it out: I still don't have any...

Au naturel. Would rather commit suicide than do that shit.

All silver+ starter packs ($99.99 + $49.99 + 24.99) & 12,00 Royal Crystals for additional slots ($100.00) so about $275.00. So from a cost standpoint, I think the 1500 hours I have played was worth it. I'm also sitting on 1.6 million gold (lost about 100k switching to EO last night), which I...

Finally beat the game:

No +21 and 100%? It feels like I'm chatting with a filthy casual.

Pretty certain there are multiple people who want to murder you right now but congrats! Our hard mode Valtan clear tonight was incredibly smooth. We also finished 3rd in the PVE GVG & 4th in the PVP GVE rankings as of tonight. Still looking to add more forum folks that are looking for an MMO to...

Yes to Valtan. You've made it to 1415. It's a fun encounter to learn -- even those who seem to be pretty burned out in the guild enjoy it. I think it would be pretty silly to make it there and quit before running it; it's the literal reward for putting up with that last bit of honing grind. If...

I'll take a stab at answering this even if I fall deftly under the category of 'when I quit MMOs, I don't normally come back'. I'd be interested in hearing @Raes weigh in as well though because prior to launch he stated that he plays a lot and takes breaks fairly often, so his mileage will...

I agree with the premise of this post however 500 hours is a weird cut-off for me. Most MMO players I know haven't gotten above 50 hours in a new MMO for the last decade or so. This is also a F2P game, so while I don't mind people who hate a lot about Lost Ark (I do too) I would hope that...

It's Scouter but yes, I feel bad for me too. Vykas is sooner than I thought but thats more raid content this month and everyone enjoys Valtan, so it's more of the good content to do weekly (will also let us complete our sets).

This is pretty much a confirmation that you're going to love all future content. The upcoming Legion Raids are all very similar in design and execution and then the added difficulty mode just makes things satisfying to master. There's a reason retention went way up when Legion Raids were released.

Yeah, it's the Ironman class and insanely fun. I'm interested to see what the next classes they release look like on KR as Artist was conceptually really interesting. Grats! We cleared on Saturday and our pug support was going to have a heart attack on making sure I hit Thirain during the...

The moment Scouter is released I'm basically instantly re-rolling my main, which is why I've been pretty cheap with my Soulfist in terms of buying materials (I didn't even bother boosting to 1475 and I'm sitting at 1465). I have a lot of strong dislikes about the game but classes & combat are...

Are you enjoying the scrapper as much as I am? The buffs were intense for a class I already liked but it feels really good to play now.

I'll take a stab at this (albeit, I don't want to speak for Gravel & Booze even if I'm using them as examples of what I believe to be the problem): To start with Booze as an example, here's someone who has been playing more than I have these last few weeks. He's dedicated, advancing, and playing...

The changes for certain classes (such as Soulfist) ultimately eliminated a fair amount of the nuisance of the class. Thus they adjusted it in a lazy manner (7% damage increase) which brings the numbers more in line with what they want them to be. I was disappointed by this as the PTR changes...

We've discussed it in guild chat quite a bit but it amazes me that MMOs don't have a system in place for this. All it takes is a vendor with all of this stuff and a currency that goes to your special tab. You can even make it absurd (like needing to kill it 100x times for enough currency for the...

Little jealous. I've not missed a single Moake rotation and started clearing him before most. I'm almost level 59 and just +20'd my weapon tonight but I still don't have the star. It drives my OCD absolutely insane.

I'm glad someone said this. I agree that the communication on this was terrible but at this point, that's the status quo for AGS. With that being said, there are regions that still don't even have Knowledge Transfer. They gave a full on Feiton pass with an extra rapid event boost not long ago...

Quick note for everyone: There's a poll up in Discord relating to the raid times for Valtan starting next week. We'll be switching Argos to the off day and stopping T2 (thus tonight is the last T2) when released.

Can you do the math for me next?

My issue with Lost Ark's daily chores is that they really feel like chores and aren't fun at all and they already know this and have solutions in place but have not ported over some of those solutions, thus resulting in a miserable fucking experience for some of the more casual players.. They...

Which is the gap that Legion raids will alleviate. It's basically an extra night where you're doing nothing but the fun stuff (only, it's actually really fun) and a second night while learning. Effectively you'll have: 1) Legion raids day 2) HM/NM Abyss run day. There is still a gap of time here...

Was nice to have you for the raids. While I'm not a huge fan of the GVG islands (complete transparency: whale guilds will dominate these since they're not equalized) I do think that we have a strong guild make up for these and participation provides additional materials. It's going to be a fun...

The West bot situation and queues is completely unacceptable and fucking retarded. The fact that people here are quitting because of it (when our tolerance for stupid is higher than most places) highlights this. So I feel bad when I say that there's about 50 posts from me before launch talking...

Tonight was an amazing showing as we had 2 groups full clear Argos in under 30 minutes, as well as a great rotation on hard modes. A special thanks to @BoozeCube for taking charge of group 2. The guild is now level 11 (so well ahead of the pack) and I'd love to add an additional 2-4 folks so...

I can't emphasis this enough: don't do a Solas run. Not one. They're terrible. You're far better off getting card packs from pirate coins and events until you RNG into not needing Solas.

I think perhaps this should be your focus -- the game has a lot of highly addictive MMO elements incorporated into it and, from the sound of things, you're spending a lot of time doing those (which is great if you're having fun but not that the expense of RL). Are you on Regulus? How about you...

Got enough spare mats to get my destroyer to 1370 on day 1. This week is about pushing the Scrapper, sorc, & slinger to 1370 as well as the DB / LM to 1340 without using any of those mats though. Failed another +20 weapon on Vold today (using only bound mats, which takes a bit of time per...

My blood boils every time the discussion of filtering comes up. Fuck this so much -- let me curse if I want to and type out my credit card information if I'm an idiot. This shit is just retarded. On another note: Guild quests are set for main & alt guild. As a reminder for tonight: Argos (all...
