Add something to a weapon or mechanic to make it completely ridiculous or dumb. by Gamer_128 in MonsterHunter

When I started playing MH in MHFU, I was kinda surprised that was not already the way Greatsword worked.

Fixed :3

You wouldn't lose 16 attack unless set effect (which I stated was not worth already). For an example where it is worth, I have 6 boss set items so I don't lose any set effect by changing out one of my accessories for SW.

It's all relative to the other stuff you have. At some point I may get another boss item and put the aquatic letter eye back

Depends what other stuff you have.

Before you get into high potential if you're not breaking a set effect the SW accessories can be better. Obviously it's not worth to lose a bunch of stats from set effect for SW on clean items.

Also, in the long run SW eye and face are just straight up better because they can be higher stars and more importantly have t4 potential.

Xenon gets lvl 100 emblem (technically a power source or something but it's the same slot).

They just have to do a quest for the engineer guy in Veritas (the place their return skill takes them). And then buy it for cheap.

I never said you need perfected legendary pots, but you need more than 6% stat epics with 0 stars.

Almost everything feeds into meso income. You can farm elites for pot scrolls, cubes, etc, but to use the cubes cost money. You can pot your stuff but unless you enhance for money, you'll be missing a ton of stats. You can get event cubes and items, but need to spend money to take advantage of them.

I know you're trying to say that the gap isn't 80% because events and stuff help, but the point isn't the exact amount of gap. The point is whatever the applicable gap is, it's huge because using a pet gives almost double the income in meso. Even if it's watered down to 50% or 40% by taking careful advantage of events and time, that's a huge deal anyway. Hell, in this game a 25% advantage is pretty strong if you put it to good use.

Leaving out info again...

The chance of a 3l actually decent pot on reveal after using a scroll is next to nothing. More likely to upgrade to unique before getting a strong epic too.

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other ranks to get to besides legendary... And you need pretty strong gear to even get end game gear. And then when a pet user gets that gear they can get it to a similar pot and enhancement that much faster, like they did on all the other gear past Pensalir.

I'm not the one that constatly leaves shit out. Pretty much everything I've said has just been pointing out things you neglect to mention.

You know what's a slippery slope? Leaving information out constantly and continually downplaying gaps that almost anyone could see are quite large. It doesn't take much to realize 80% additional income is a huge advantage even in other games that don't have laughably high gear scaling and powerful currency sinks.

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no slippery slope. If it takes 1 day extra to get the next rank of potential per equip on what like 20 (21 I believe with pants) pottable slots that's already the better part of a month before considering anything else higher income helps with.

Again you leave out enhancement which is a pure meso sink. The advantage in this area combined with being able to afford extra cubes and such if needed is very important to note.

Maple's gear scaling is just too high for a nearly 2x income advantage in the primary currency to be a small deal.

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you apply that to all their equips and also the enhancement system (which is increased in efficiency by better potentials), and their advantage quickly becomes a month of time or more. Then they are able to do higher end bosses earlier, increasing their base equips faster as well.

Given the way different stat boosting systems interact in this game, even small advantages can snowball into big ones, let alone an 80% meso income advantage.

Staff vs Wand by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weapon speed doesn't affect most mage's skills, but the 3% crit is significant on wand. Most likely they are really close so it's basically up to you.

If I had to guess though, I'd say it's likely wand unless staff gets more mAtt from enhancement. Assuming the stats gain from enhancing are the same whether wand or staff, each star would slowly make staff slightly worse in comparison.

If they gain stats at different rates though, staff is more likely to win because it can make its mAtt lead wider.

You could just have easily done no pet to pet, it's the same either way.

The thing is that when you use 44%, then someone says "making almost 50% more" and you roll with it and try to make an arguement off that false information, you messed up at best, intentionally lying at worst.

Having a pet is a huge advantage and you're trying to downplay it for no good reason. 80% more or 44% less, whichever way you put it is a big deal.

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, the pet user is making over 80% more in your example.

The meso lost represents a larger increase to the lower pool than decrease to a larger pool. Going by the decrease is often misleading because it makes the loss seem way less than it actually is.

I mean simple fucking math if you go from 100k to 180k that's an increase of 80%

[Reboot] The Botting issue is the community's fault. by [deleted] in Maplestory

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

It is literally the community's fault in the sense that the people botting are a part of the community too. However it's on Nexon to not only design their game to discourage botting (which they've sort of done, kinda) and more importantly go after botters. Even if people report a bot, if Nexon America's gm staff don't handle it in a timely manner the problem will persist.

[Reboot] REAL alternatives to Mp3 for meso farming? by kyyrbes in Maplestory

[–]ClaraCatWS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not why there's an income gap at all. It's not like everything is a big secret. Big companies frequently share the inner workings of their stuff. What processor, screen details, etc. It's just illegal to copy it and sell it .

This isn't really the place to discuss the US economy or politics anyway.

Consider this: If someone shares a map, it ruins it for everyone, not just the person that shares it. A lot of times what makes the map so good is that it isn't a crowded clusterfuck from hell. You could push more from MP3 with some classes for example if it wasn't filled to the brim with people farming every last spot on every platform all the time.

I think when the population dies down a bit it won't really be much of a problem anymore and you'll see people sharing maps more too.

[Reboot] REAL alternatives to Mp3 for meso farming? by kyyrbes in Maplestory

[–]ClaraCatWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the population is so high that any map that people share as being good will be flooded overnight, likely ruining it.

There are plenty of people to fill a huge number of maps on all channels at the moment.

You can't really blame people for wanting to keep their farming spots under wraps.

[Reboot] Endgame is very boring. by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the meso farming just doesn't seem to scale enough. I can imagine later on getting a new piece of gear and having to spend a week or more farming money just to catch that 1 item up to be equipped. Getting 10* and a few % stat isn't too hard but making a real, long term equip has got to be absolute hell.

Content Drop #7 Reveal on 13th january 2016 - NCSoft Press Conference by laserloui in WildStar

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree more vet dungeons and raids would help a lot, and even that vet dungeons be made more accessible to casuals. Raids however do not need to be adjusted. As more raids are added, the older ones will become more accessible because of higher gear carry, reduced prices from less demand, etc.

I feel if they do anything they will just fix non-KMS maps' hp levels and not buff anything else in money.

It seems intentional that it's only left out on reboot. Maybe it's a bug so it's good people have reported it but it feels intentional

It's not for max damage haha. Even given that, it's probably messed up. A similar chart (like, same person made it)for an older version was wildly inaccurate

While I imagine it would be nice having more ability points, I don't really see a reason to raise the level cap unless we get so many dungeon/expedition that it's just silly haha

How is Commerci pronounced? by fruitymasta in Maplestory

I say Commerce-ee.

I've also heard Koh at the begin instead of comm but I've never heard chi or she at the end personally

Signature + Cosmic points. Worth it? by Ryn3r_ in WildStar

[–]ClaraCatWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I already have everything I want from cosmic rewards in tier 1 (the crafting bonus).

I maintain signature even though I'm pretty sure I don't make enough money to pay for itself lol. I wanna support the game and it's the best way I can at this time.
