    I hadn't actually even thought about it until one of you mentioned it in chat this morning, but I was actually correct in my assessment about gems (I just mostly thought it was weird to have empty slots). They by far give one of the biggest bonuses to damage. It's easily a 12-15% boost per...

    We rewatched that like two days ago and said the exact same thing. "500 years was way too generous."

    No one uses the main FoH guild chat at all anymore, it all goes to the little chat room thing. Which actually works out well because when I switch to an alt I can still follow the conversation. Bonus is that it just uses the character name I set as main so no one else gets lost.

    I stopped at that level too, and just finished it a couple days ago at ilvl 1374 or so. The towers were kind of fun, but also sort of awful with the design. It's like boss fights that make you play DDR, except they made entire floors with just that. And a sprinkle of RNG. I'm glad to be done...

    So they've just completely given up on even presenting a fiscally responsible image.

    That's what I said was so weird about it. Dude goes all the way around to the stairs, walks slowly across the stage and then...slaps a man? What the fuck?

    I think the Oscars will be dead soon anyway. I noticed when I was watching that it's all the same stars from 30 years ago, just old as shit. There are no new up and comers. RLM talks about this a lot, but the age of the movie star is over.

    It's just pathetic to waltz all the way up there to slap him, too. Like, what the fuck dude?

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    10 drugs found in him. So yeah, definitely OD. My guess is covid was a real bitch for someone who was a former drug addict. Add another to the "lockdowns killed more people than covid ever could."

    He's been in a lot of documentaries lately. Off the top of my head the one about the soundboard at the recording studio in LA, and there's one about drummers.

    It's still fun even with that. Like I've said, I really enjoy the abyss dungeons, I just wish it wasn't once a week. BDO is a whole different beast. Fuck that system. The only thing that made it tolerable was seasons, but that only takes you so far. And I quit whenever they stopped seasons (not...

    Eh, how do you actually actively make gold though? The only thing that seems feasible would be infinite chaos, otherwise you're kind of limited to what the game gives you.

    1370 with 210 fails, which from area chat actually doesn't seem too far from average (on the high side, but at least it wasn't 230). That's with my alts at 1315, 1050, and 880. Now to figure out what I want to concentrate on.

    I mentioned it last week, but people said the KR honing rates increased with the 1415 update. That doesn't mean we will, but if so, it might be smarter to hoard mats. I don't know where Valtan sits in that timeline though. @Voldeth already keeps yelling at me that even 1370 is irrelevant, so I...

    I actually care less about someone who wants to drop that kind of money. He's paying the developers. And I'm likely stopping at 1385 until more content is released. My 2nd alt is almost to t3 and then I've got one more (unless I decide on running 5 or 6 chars). Edit: It's also hilarious how...

    Are you sure? Something happened then because I doubled up on T3 books with an alt.

    The books are also per character. Meaning if you have multiple t3 characters you can buy an absolute shit ton of books.

    I was actually going to ask how the PVP thing works. It says tier 1 to buy stuff, and that's a hard no for me to grind out (at whatever 15 right now). I think that's the only thing remaining I can do besides daily stuff. My comment was (mostly) sarcasm, as I'll hit pity on every piece I think...

    Tempted to buy my way to it as well (6 more successes to go; weapon is already 15). Just not sure what prices will do, because my gut says they drop like a rock by this weekend.

    Oddly, my longest clear was on my main with people all 1360 plus. Afterwards I ran it on alts and we broke the tail first thing and steamrolled it.

    Right, but no one is talking about fusion mats going up. Just fish. In fact, we had a discussion in game the other day where everyone convinced me it'd be better to do excavating and buy fusion mats than fish myself.

    I don't get the fish thing. Is it just fish that increased in price? Why?

    It's weird they're upping the amount of Grand Prix coins. I only ran it like twice this week and I still have enough to buy everything for probably the next two weeks.

    That's my guess. While bard is kind of neat in that you can stand still, the other actual classes shred through stuff. Heck, even paladin has 3 massive AOE skills that clear out everything around you in chaos. It still doesn't compare to a real DPS.
  27. Gravel

    Lost Ark Online

    I think you have that backwards. Bards are almost useless for buffing ranged classes. I guess unless you sit far out with the ranged classes, but then all your skills that are melee distance are then useless (namely the biggest builder spell).

    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...

    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.
  33. Gravel

    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...

    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 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?).
