Get ready for your new class

Lots of changes coming, lvl cap of 75, etc. Reddit tldr:

Codes from the ball are good. 50k crons, 5 hammers, 10 outfits and some other junk.

Logging in for the first time in a month or two to burn the crons, probably get disappointed, and log back off

Yeah, not a whole lot excites me about the ball.

Gunner is kinda whatever, although I'm glad they are finally returning to Succ/Awake instead of the Ascension bullshit. We'll see what his Awakening kit looks like.

I'll probably check out the new grind spot for a bit and finally burn my Agris down. Once I hit full Dec Khara and Nov Sov, I lost all interest in grinding and have just been afk fishing and weekly bosses, altar of blood, etc. I don't expect the new grind spot to keep my attention all that long though. Maybe a week or two?

It also doesn't help that Awake Dosa is kind of in the trash heap right now as far as grinding efficiency goes. I really hope they revamp/rework him soon. His little elemental generator mechanic sucks and is super bugged.

I liked everything I heard. But I also play pretty casually and just came back recently after years away. So I am techincally in the mid game hurdle. So all these free things to help catch up will be good. But I am in no rush to get to end game. Hell the family life skill gear will help a lot, no longer have to constant switch out gear or on and off alts etc. Also you can put your family characters on things like fishing or processing while you are doing something else, just very good QoL right there. The one weird thing will be having a level cap and something everyone will be able to reach, even if you just grind an hour a day.

We'll see how much actually comes or gets delayed. I still have fun with the game, but I play casually , grind an hour here or there a day, fish, do my farms, gather , world bosses, shrine etc. So lots for me to still do and they keep moving the bar(like this one with new accessories), so doubt I will ever catch up, unless something amazing happens like a combo of content/class I really love, so can just grind for hours like the old days.

1 class a year, succ in the summer awak in the winter sounds nice. Pretty much everything they talked about and announced was a positive really. Not particularly interested in gunner so far, but the gameplay looked cool, especially the big AoEs and the teleport. Very nice coupons + login rewards. DPS meter is cool. Unified lifeskill gear is cool. Edania 2 looks good. Overall I feel more positive about the game's future after the ball.

I think the DPS meter is going to be a big mistake for them. The shouts about balance issues are going to be even louder when people have tangible data to compare themselves with. It's really going to point out how dogshit some classes are.

Im on the fence about this one. PA has had this data, just not allowed us to see it till now. So either the community can stfu up about class misbalancing number wise, or it shows PA never looked at the data? <--- lulz?

Or class misbalancing has more to do with mechanics (cc's and blocks\sa\etc) which we all know it does, so we just can't bitch about numbers damage wise anymore?

Sadly I dont think balance will ever get close to even, just so many classes and things to balance(builds, CCs, SA, FG). They could get closer for some specs that are far behind definitely(as some struggle way behind). But i generally try to pick things I enjoy grinding on and playing vs what makes the most silver/hr. I also dont pvp , so that probably helps. Chasing meta or tier lists generally means you quit sooner or start to hate it because you just dont enjoy the gameplay.

Giving hard numbers to players though, man expect a ton of posts/videos and now they can supply data. Everyone wants their class to be the best or equal to them. Especially as some have been on the top for a while(witch/wiz), at least pve wise.
