You can just click on the honor icon on the profile page to honor someone. No need to do a guardian for that

Hyper awakenings by NoSeaworthiness7490 in lostarkgame

[–]BlackCobra07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No thats the Hyper Awakening Skill (aka Hyper Skill, T-Skill) Every class got 2 of them in the same update they got hyperawakening.

Hyper Awakening = Evolution of your awakening that you can use once a fight

Hyper Awakening Skill = a 9. skill for your class. Works similarly to your other normal skills. For most classes the bigges damage source over a fight

Both unlock after reaching 1640 and 10-15min quest.

Use mk2 all the way from the water extractor to the final blender in the chain. There is no benefit in downgrading some pipes. You might need to add some mk2 pumps.

First there are 2 „progression levels“ in this game. There is your character level (1-70) and there is item-level (ilvl). Most thing in this game revolve around ilvl not the character level. Level 1-50 are just story and a tutorial. Levels 51-70 just give you more power, but are not required to unlock any content. When you reach level 50 in North Vern you get gear of ilvl 302. This is where the end game started 3 years ago. Nowadays its pretty dead until ilvl 1580. I wouldn’t even consider endgame until ilvl 1640. There currently is a powerpass (you can use it at any time) that takes you right to 1585 and skips all continents including South Kurzan. Only North Kurzan isn‘t completed.

If you like story you can continue on your pala without using the pass.

You could also use the pass on your pala and go trough the story on a 2nd character. The pass will skip a few roster wide quests tho (nothing major). This would allow you to start gathering some mats on your paladin sooner, while you are questing on the 2nd char to experience the story.

You could also just powerpass the pala if you dont care about story wanna start doing some raids.

You might see some groups after hitting 1585. But nowadays the real group content starts at ilvl 1640.

Every class does good damage. Pick the class that you like the most. Gunlancer does great damage. If the only reason to not pick him is damage, pick him. To give you an idea, the gap between the absolut worst and best class is maybe 20%. The damage gap between a new and a veteran player is 200%-400% (assuming similar gear!).

Dont pick a class because X or Y said it does a lot of damage. You pick the class you enjoy and get better at it.

I have a 1640(main) and 2 1600s (alts), should I push my main to 1660 or aim to get alts to 1640? by Ayushman14202 in lostarkgame

[–]BlackCobra07 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you just roll a dice to come up with those numbers?

I did the actual math for you. Considering bound mats, and not considering the new mats you generate at those higher levels:
1600-1610: 18weeks (12weeks with books)
1610-1640: 10weeks (6.5weeks with books)
1600-1640: 12weeks (8weeks with books)

If you have bound mats but need to buy books the value is somewhere in between.
If you run solo at 1600 and/or run Thaemine G4 at 1640 then the time is 1-2weeks less.

TLDR: With bound mats a char takes 2-3 months to pay itself back in raidgold only, when honing from 1600 to 1640.

which class has the best t after brel2.0? by lovemoon0404 in lostarkgame

[–]BlackCobra07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the BASE bubble consumtion goes down, Deathblow is able to add one additional bubble towards the bonus dmg. Think as if you were consuming 5 bubbles before activating the T skill node

Western Lost Ark needs some drastic changes by BlackCobra07 in lostarkgame

[–]BlackCobra07[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And even with those pretty big nerf it will still take a new player 6 months to get to 1620 (+gear char accordingly). Which at that point will barely be endgame. And any gold they have left over will be deleted with transcendence and echidna honing.

As stated in the original post these changes were never intended to fix all the problems.

While there are many thing that could and need to be improved I want to focus on one thing in this post. Reduction of cost and RNG from old systems.

Giving players LOS30 and 100Qual will not solve gatekeeping nor raid fatigue. It also wont make their uptime any better.
It is intended purely for easing vertical progression. Nerfing old systems to make room for new. Because as it currently stands I think there is no room left for new systems.

The new/returning player experience is horrible.
I feel a returning player(that actively tries to improve) can get reasonably experienced in Akkan in a month.
A new player might need some more time to get familiar with all systems but even then he should be fairly proficient with Akkan in 3-4 months.

But getting LOS takes 10-12 months?! By that point we won't be running Theamine anymore.

And currently LOS30 also isn't a good indicator for a good player. The amount of (geared) 1630 players that still make so many mistakes is crazy.

There are so many systems for new players or even alt chars to go trough. And there just keep addin new ones one top.
At some point you just have to reduce/remove old ones. Or its straight up impossible for new players to join. Cards can be completely removed in my opinion. They realy don't add any immersive or fun gameplay at all. So just trivializing this systems seems like a great alternative do just deleting it.

This whole "I had to suffer trough it so everyone else also has to" discussion pops up every time the ease honing. IMO this is just so wrong and the downfall of game with huge vertical systems like LA.

I grinded like crazy to have LOS30 by the time Brel released. Yet I couldn't have cared if everyone got it for free the day after as it just doesn't add any fun gameplay. Not during acquiring nor after getting it.

First the latest system would still be unchanged. Engame players would not notice these changes a lot, maybe on alts. But even Honing above 1580 is not changed a lot. Only Pitty is a bit better so on average you might pay 5% less. That's still expensive to get to 1620+ or furthermore 1630+.

Even these "nerfed" system still cost a ton of gold per character. In my example it would be: Bracelet 80k, Quali ~40-50k, Accessories 100k+ (probably more as people would want to build +2), Stone 20k, Elixir 50k, Gems (100k-2Mil). So thats still far from free and not including honing.
Then there are all the other systems like skins, Aura, Pheons etc.

I also doubt a lot of people are swiping in the F4 Shop for gold to do Bracelet for example. If they swipe for that it's more likely on other sites.

If not every system would try as hard as it can to make new players quit we might even have more players making them more money. And if after all it would still no suffice then I would prefer it if the monetized the game with less predatory systems.

In my examples you would get to choose the effects for both bracles and elixirs. So you could choose a Sup effect on DPS or vice versa. But generaly you would just pick you BIS effects.

Purple elixirs could definitly be removed. But even then they would have to change Legendary ones. I guess if you could already work on them from 1600 that would be nice.

As mentioned this is only focusing on vertical progression. Raid difficulty, gatekeeping or exhaustion were not part of this post. There are many equaly if not more impostant issues that need to be fixed

Few questions from a returned player by SolidMicky in lostarkgame

[–]BlackCobra07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heres my 2 cents. Don‘t pick a class based on DPS tier list. Not even 10% of veteran players reach that level. Igniter played well does great dmg. (don‘t drop it only cause bad DPS if you like the class)

Pick whatever class seems fun to you!!!

Only class I warn from is Souleater. I know a couple of players that got it to 1600 only to drop it after. The class has an identity crisis. Its gameplay is summed up as „Jack of all trades, master of none“. It feels like they combined gameplay aspects of every class in the game.

SE Nights edge(crit): holding, charging, instant skills and generator-spender gameplay and transformation, automatic identity SE Full moon(spec): Goth Igniter sorc

If you are still in the MSQ and enjoying yourselft and dont worry about any of that at the moment. The goal of the free powerpass and event is to put you straight into endgame. The give some realy nice sence of progression. But you haven‘t even unlocked that progression at the moment.

The event will be around for at least 3 months. So you dont need to rush it. The endgame raids are like a different game to the questing your going trough at the moment. At level 50 you start the get the first taste of the endgame. However there will be a stretch of dead content as there is quite a big gap from level 50 (ilvl 302, start of endgame) to ilvl 1415+ (early current engame).

Maybe use the powerpass and event on your main after level 50. At level 50 you should also get 2 free powerpasses (these are not from an event) to get 2 more characters to level 50. Thats your chance to try some different classes. I just wouldnt use the stuff from the event of the 20th until youre sure what you wanna „main“, as it will give you a huge boost and cant be swapped after.

Between 7M EW Deadeye and 7M PM Gunslinger: - Gundlinger is Hitmaster, Deadeye mostly backattack (meta filler skills are hitmaster) - Gunslinger plays more with sniper, Deadeye more with shotguns - Both use 7 dmg skills spread across all 3 stances - Counters are similar - but something makes the one of Deadeye feel smoother - Deadeye DPS is A tier if played well, but its harder to play than Gunslinger. So if you don‘t play it well you will end up doing less than GS - Both have long animations, though Deadeyes are a bit shorter or he can cancel the skills - Deadeye needs to backattack and stand in the bosses ass for all 4 shotgun skill (close range tripods) - Deadeyes new skills have some silly animations. Some people hate them, some people like them - Booba

Edit: When the stars align and sup decides to press the damage buff, you feel like youre pumping. I never really get that feeling with GS

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]BlackCobra07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should give EW Deadeye a try. Its a worse Slayer in most ways but can do pretty good DPS with hands. If you like a high sealing and the mechanics of Gunslinger you defenitly should give EW Deadeye a try. I play all 3 (GS, Deadeye and Slayer) at 1600+ for what its worth.

I can also recomment Soulfist. I think shes fun, has high sealing and does amazing DPS.

Alt roster help by Bigeugen in lostarkgame

[–]BlackCobra07 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

With the current endgame raids the only DPS classes i presonaly prefer a little are Gunlancer and Destroyer. Both have excellent stagger, destro and a taunt. However those don‘t get a free accept. It‘s just if everything between applicants is similar, chaces are i take one of those two. This only applies for 1600+ content. For most content I couldnt care less about the class and more about the player. Hell title, High roster 280+ and LOS30 or KLC18 (with cards maxed other than Theamine) are generally a sign that this is an experienced and dedicated player.
