I more or less understand why people are quitting. But, I'm sure I'll be playing for another 6-12 months or until I get to a point where I'm unable to keep up with ilvl reqs for raids. I'll take any handouts from those that are done.

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 plans on quitting by virtue of the lack of any alternative options. Will continue with the raid schedule and pug slots (as we did successfully on Saturday) for the foreseeable future!

SG removed the WD crit buff and replaced with mana regen. WD's still have the only crit vulnerability debuff afaik.

Man, what happened this week? Did I quit just before the game imploded?

Turned on a stream and all they're talking about is how fucked everything is.

Gunslinger and Glaivier both do crit debuff.

Seems like bots are finally flooding NA East as hard as they've been NA West for the past 2 months.

Oh, they only have a base of 10% vs WD's 18%.

Nothing more than any other time a software fix breaks other shit. Not to say that the bots aren't increasing but the recent issues don't really seem related.

Pretty much the Bots have finally beaten the game. I had kind of reached a point as it was, given the daily stuff a person has to do just to stay relevant within the game. The Bots were just the final straw for me. The game had some really positive notes like combat and the raids. The problem is having to craw through the river of shit just to get to the clean water. It just stopped being worth it.

So I think I'm done with AGS forever now. Back to back games where they've just shown they're incredibly incompetent.

They took games which should've had longevity and destroyed them.

Lol, what the fuck is that response?

The bots may become bad enough for me to quit. Yesterday’s annoyance was close. But I wish there was a way to sever transfer. My rl friends have all quit and I’m stuck on Zosma. I’m not super high, only 1432, but pugging Valtan is super hit or miss, and it’s getting annoying.

Wait, they announced the ban wave before doing it? Okay then.
Incoming Bot Ban Wave

*Over the week* ....

Serious ? There great automation system can't zap them in like an hour ? wtf

I had no que for the first time in forever this morning so +1 to them.

The tight lipped content update bs is like -42069 though.

I'm barely doing any content on my 6 other chars sub 1415 at this point as the incentive to push is dwindling and lack of reoccurring events is also butt. I hope the take away from season pass line is to shorten the duration and promptly release new ones as I can't imagine even the most casual of players hasn't wrapped up the track weeks ago.

they needed to put a bit of extra bounce in Vykas' boobas to make the encounter as challenging as western audiences have come to expect.

They've added a $10 pack to the cash shop with a mediocre amount of honing materials that can be bought 3 times over the next 34 days. All told it is still less efficient than buying materials from the market with RMT gold, but it has the added benefit of completely cutting out F2P players that might be selling those materials for a profit.

Removal of the stronghold honing buff from the Vykas patch makes sense now. A real kick in the dick to the players while bots are still rampant.

Edit: Aaaaand it's gone. Was probably planned for Vykas release, which is delayed until next week.

Hit 1445 on my hammerbro and pugged hard Valtan. Went better than I expected but we had a couple of big dick dps so that definitely helped.
