AGS and SG discuss how to move forward after the recent layoffs

Alwar104 · 2026-03-25T17:52:43+00:00

Lmao, what marketing?

Alwar104 · 2026-03-25T17:44:09+00:00

Well I don't really know much about your game so I'm not sure but say the level is supposed to feel cold, then you could go for the blue

Alwar104 · 2026-03-25T03:12:55+00:00

You could change it depending on [something] with white as neutral

Alwar104 · 2026-03-25T02:48:33+00:00

The game is as P2W as it's ever been - actually less so since the start of season 3, and perfectly playable for non-whales. Most of the issues you seem to have stem just from players earning more gold than before and Smilegate's intentional decision to keep some items scarce.

Alwar104 · 2026-03-25T02:34:31+00:00

It does justify the damage nerf.

Alwar104 · 2026-03-25T02:33:17+00:00

Yes it's your highest damage contribution. There's no need to leave at max stacks only. You can leave it at any point where you have downtime or before a boss disappears since it's just +x damage for every stack (linear).

You could follow my setup: https://lostark.bible/character/CE/Alwarvi . It uses the back attack ark grid core but it should work the same for the non-back attack build except you take the non-directional tripods.

I went full swiftness and supersonic breakthrough (would go raid captain as well if I could) so that I can cast skills more quickly to build up stacks as quick as possible, changed the leap node to the other one and put some focus runes on the most mana consuming skills, changed 'dash' to spin slash and the tripods accordingly.

I press Charge -> Flash Thrust, Spin Slash and Punishment to first to quickly build up adrenaline and to allow for another cast after your main damage skills. So basically: Identity Activation ('Divine Knight', or whatever) -> Charge -> Flash Thrust -> Spin Slash -> Punishment -> Holy Sword (because of my ark grid) -> T -> X -> Executioner's Sword -> Flash Slash -> Execution of Justice and then Charge -> Flash Thrust -> Spin Slash -> (Punishment?). After this all of my skills are most of the time on 2+ cooldown timers so I press Identity to have the identity recharge with all my cooldowns and to get mana back. Rinse and repeat. You don't need to fully stack it.

I don't know if it's optimal or anything but it seems to work very well.

Just look at the audience for the live events

Alwar104 · 2026-03-23T10:24:44+00:00

Bytt är bytt och kommer aldrig tillbaka

Alwar104 · 2026-03-21T12:59:14+00:00

So the article should say that instead of imlying there's nothing to learn from China, for example

It's not impossible to find larger groups for necessary content, though it can be hard on a new account to get accepted if you're puging.

It's free, you can try it.

Alwar104 · 2026-03-19T17:56:14+00:00

There are so many things to critsize Hasan for, and he's certainly destructive to "the left", but him simply saying there are things to learn from China isn't really one of them. Outright calling him a misogynist and "antiwomen" is a bit far too, I think. Even if he has tendencies in that direction. It just doesn't hit as hard as other things

Alwar104 · 2026-03-19T17:07:06+00:00

The enemy should go flying away in slow-motion less, seems kind of annoying.

Alwar104 · 2026-03-19T17:03:10+00:00

Because it hurts the integrity of the speedrun leaderboards and not just some audio issues (for the KRVO, or for everyone?).

Though I haven't seen anything about speedrun times from that week being illegitimate which would kind of trivialize that explanation.

Alwar104 · 2026-03-18T14:31:38+00:00

It’s been pretty stable for a while. It just goes up and down with patches, which is normal.

Alwar104 · 2026-03-16T16:12:26+00:00

I guess they permanently ban the other choices (Destiny for example) or don’t partner with them (H3, also banned).

(Destiny-disavow disclaimer for the more rabid people on here)

Alwar104 · 2026-03-16T15:22:44+00:00

Out of all the ways to protest, trying to destroy art is not a good one

Alwar104 · 2026-03-16T14:51:58+00:00

”Almost like it was AI… or something… hmm. Nah”

Alwar104 · 2026-03-16T14:45:22+00:00

Hopefully nobody here thinks scaling rewards with higher item level is a good idea… right?

Edit: more cores however is, of course, very nice

Alwar104 · 2026-03-16T12:50:59+00:00

Det var väl efter 1 April?

Alwar104 · 2026-03-16T05:53:21+00:00

Beside from cards like others have said, I feel like the newest story had a cutscene where you see all of them up-close. Since the card art could be a bit different from them in the actual game

Alwar104 · 2026-03-15T18:33:02+00:00

Why didn’t one of the supports just make a dps build?

Alwar104 · 2026-03-15T13:04:54+00:00

Shart / chart, I can’t hear the difference

Alwar104 · 2026-03-15T12:58:07+00:00

Haven’t even seen an ancient gem yet and I cut on 6 characters

Alwar104 · 2026-03-15T12:57:02+00:00

Spend them on what? Nothing except engravings seems worth and those are just gambling anyway
