    Lost Ark Online

    Patch is out and it's amazing. The amount of QOL stuff that is finally is makes the game a lot more enjoyable. Also: Scouter buffs.

    That's really my point here. We raid 3-4 nights a week with a stable crew of forums folks who enjoy the raid content. There is no other MMO on the market that is able to provide the entertainment that Lost Ark presently does. It isn't even close. For anyone interested in joining us, tomorrow is...

    That's extremely disingenuous. 4 posts up from you, Chimney talks about how he hasn't been doing them in forever and is still able to do the current tier of raid content without issues. This is akin to someone saying "I'm so glad I quit Everquest; I can't imagine needing to grind mobs in BoT in...

    I know I'm something of a masochist but I really like chaos dungeons. They're quick to clear (I enjoy trying to beat my clear times) and extremely rewarding; gold, silver, accessories, guardian stones, destruction stones, leapstones, tripods, gems, books, etc. I don't want them to be more...

    Lost Ark Online

    I don't disagree with this at all. This is not an MMO for someone who has an itch for a large open world filled with exploration; there is absolutely no point to sailing, leveling, or exploring. That doesn't mean that there's a lack of content to do though, more so a lack of content for people...

    Lost Ark Online

    I actually disagree with this. The game is based on playing multiple characters and at this stage, we raid 4 nights a week just to clear on the main page characters. Brelshaza releases soon which will only increase that. There's a lot of content right now. I'm not understanding why giving away...

    Scrapper got buffed some time ago and is largely considered overpowered and S tier. They simply pump an incredible amount of damage for how tanky they are. The only real downside to them is how close to the target you need to be (more so than most Martial Artists -- the hitbox for them requires...

    @Kythik was saying something about a way to update EAC? I was ignoring him because you can't trust non Time Stop users.

    There is always someone on to carry all the way up to Legion raids. Once you get there though, you need to push a bit to be able to queue hard with us (we run Valtan/Vykas about 3-4 times a week). Don't be shy to ask in the chat; between myself, Q, Blood, Kyth, Lumi, & Cynicks even if you log in...

    Friendly reminder: Tripod change is occurring next reset. Save your tripod skills and use your second free slot for level 4 tripods you've been saving. It's also a lot cheaper to buy the tripods you need now and save them accordingly before reset.

    Yes. They're giving a 1445 express pass, which is exactly right. They're also patching in the Tripod changes (thank God) and the balance patch -- you may want to consider an Arcanist after the balance change pass if you haven't played one yet (or like you said, just keep power passing your...

    Prices are absolutely absurd and server stability last night was terrible. While Amazon is terrible, game is still amazing and Reaper + 1445 pass next week should make anyone bored want to come play.

    I wouldn't really say that I have a core group that enjoys WoW anymore - I think the time for that is long passed. With that being said, the feedback from those I know is; 1- It's just not finished. Blizzard used to be known for polish but now there's just a lot that's outright broken. 2- The...

    There was no carry. You did your part, which is more than your average PUG will do! After a lot of honing last night, my Brel page 1 crew is finally ready (well, minus a lot of work on engravings & gems to do!): Gonna take a good month of re-stocking gold and then move onto page 2.

    Grats @Cyni on your first clown clear!
  18. Voldeth

    Lost Ark Online

    A very different feeling here. I find that the clown hype is still in full swing; the game feels like it has more players trying to push their alts through clown in order to be ready for Brel (Azena is a busy server on NAE. While I'm sure a lot of that is bots, the bots wouldn't be out there if...

    Lost Ark Online

    Lord do I hate Amazon's changes but I can't even imagine how messed up they were for you especially. A lot of your strategy / farming got fucked hard by them / the bot situation. Talk about alienating a player who would have played their version for a long time if they had any common sense...

    Posting an update relating to guild raid schedule moving forward. This has actually been in effect for about two weeks now but wanted to make sure we were able to keep up with the cadence. Wednesday 8PM EST: We'll be running 1-2 Valtan/Vykas with the potential for a clown run. Thursday 8PM EST...

    I'm waiting for Artist release before I start trying to pull on that cord; we're going to need more supports for Brelshaza alt runs after all! Totally agree with your point of not wanting to give Blizzard any money though, that was about the only reason I almost opted to skip out on...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think the fact that you're thinking about it is sufficient at this stage -- you'll probably be done within a week or two (or maybe you'll go the full month!) but it'll be fun to run some M+ and new expansion time is always worth the price of admission. We can even start talking @BoozeCube into...

    ROFL. Ut is completely awesome and is welcome to join us any time. His battle chant during clown kept me from raging (albeit, I did mute him after that to focus, sorry @Utnayan!). Edit: @Janx I kept Vold for Valtan - when do you want to run a normal?

    Event mats are so abundant that it really doesn't matter. You max out / buy everything out provided you're playing 2-3 characters within a day or two for the week. It's a lackluster vendor, which supposedly they're looking into. I do like the Halloween background and some of the skins though...

    I've done minimal research (the usual websites & some Youtube videos) but it's WoW so yes, there's a fuck ton of information available and it's more about filtering it to sources you know are reliable.

    Almost assuredly. While Blizzard is decidedly a shit-tier company and modern WoW is a disaster ran by people who I'd rather not support (I don't even need to look anything up to know that the expansion will be shit, the class balance will be terrible, the design decisions will be retarded) and...

    Update is out which includes a new Ark Pass. I've seen some folks returning due to the continued MMO drought, don't hesitate to reach out and ask for a chat invite; the core group of players here are incredibly active (we raid twice a week and do alt runs consistently). Primarily looking for DPS...

    Yes -- you should have access to an event that you can pick a character for (if you want to select glaiver). It'll instantly boost you to 1370 (which is where I believe you left off) but give you small tasks to do with books and a honing buff. Just use the chat for help with the event shit...

    Glad to see you posting & back albeit still wish you would have rolled on NAE. Totally agree and I've said it so many times. If you end up having too many alts, the time commitment becomes stupid and the fun stops. Playing with a roster of characters that you actually enjoy and limiting it...

    They will. When Brelshaza is released you can expect the catch up bonus to expand to 1445. When Elgacia is released you can also expect further enhancements to a least 1475. It's never going to be worth it to push honing beyond the minimum until the catch up mechanic is released. I say this as...

    Lost Ark Online

    That's always going to be the case. Grinding and pushing ahead provides you a bit of time where you're ahead of the curve however they absolutely always will provide periodic catch up / boosts to make getting to current tier raids possible with casual effort. A 1415 is still pretty reasonably...

    I think waiting till December for 1490 and Brel is fine. I do think they're making a mistake by not releasing class balance and tripod changes in October though. I'd also like to have seen Artist come out with Summoner (we know the work for Sunmoner is already done and Artist is a pretty big...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes. I'm going to pick up the expansion and play the first month because M+ is infinitely better than what FF offers from an actual gameplay standpoint in spite of the fact that every decision Blizzard has made for almost a decade has been terrible.

    Progression time isn't really impacted by the economy - both are incredibly cheap and, with the events that go on, take a very short period of time and is highly enjoyable. Players coming back or starting off will be able to advance their characters almost daily for the first few weeks. The...

    Both. Smilegate was retarded to not understand that the NA audience is significantly different than their core market in so far as RMT is concerned. The fact that anyone can just create a Steam account to set up a bot account (versus requiring credentials to be confirmed) makes botting...
