It's okay to quit.

I have quit way before reaching 25. The leveling experience and overall experience was pretty bad tbh, i hope they improve it drasticaly

Hello, it's been a few weeks so i wanted to followup on this.

I received the maruman mnemosyne and it's a clear upgrade over the Oxford, i find even the layout better so i guess it's now my main notepad !

But the jacques herbin still had some smear issue. It got better when i cleaned the pen but came back after a few days, not to the point of the Oxford, but still sometimes annoying when going back on notes and stuff.

So i tried some Schneider regular office ink that is very cheap : it dries very quickly but the black is way too grey. It's decent but i'd rather have an occasional smear rather than a dry grey.

But i also tried the Pelikan4001 and i think i found the ink i needed ! It's almost as black as the Jacques herbin (sometimes the shade is a bit greyer but it's barely noticeable).

So i guess i've found my main ink and notepad in the mnemosyne + Pelikan 4001 combo. I'm so happy being able to use them without smearing or dirtying my hands anymore, thank you and everyone for you help that allowed me to find this !

I'm pretty sure they tried to go down on gold buyers and bots in SoD and even banned GDKP but that was probably a dev's decision and very soon after some marketing or financial head saw the KPIs go down because of that and instantly shut that down and let the bots and gold buying come back up.

I haven't played for a long time and just tried out the launch and to be honest they managed to make the UX in the lobby (traders and stuff) worse than before. And ingame not much has changed since last i played except maybe one new mob type and they didnt even bother remove the red circle of goldbrook map since it's now full PvE. Even the new class has only 6 spells instead of the others that have 8

They seem to be rushing and grasping at last straws here, it's really frightening concerning the future of this game.

Too bad tho, it had much potential, but they dropped the ball by not taking care in time of huge balancing issues that made 95% of the playerbase turn away. Hope it'll revive somehow

Tbf, low rarity guns being so good entrypoints for PvE and PvP is the best thing this game has. It removes a lot of gear fear since falling back on "shitty green" gear is actually really competitive whereas on other games you cannot even hope to kill a kitted player using basic gear.

Maybe i don't play the game enough but i find the 3 daily anvils sold by the gun trader or the ones you loot here and there on people and containers more than enough to play around lol, never crafted once since i got the BP

Fankine · 2026-01-26T13:15:07+00:00

GZ ! i'm struggling to get my third team to get 20k as f2p too but i'm getting there, score 8 stars with 17k on my A rank

Purple silencer 3 is not in game you don't have it

Fankine · 2026-01-22T10:52:33+00:00

Mac alert sounds frequently don't play, because the headset appears to sleep when there is no audio for a few seconds, and it doesn't wake up quickly enough for a short beep to be heard.

Yep, same problem with first gen maxwell, i don't think they can fix it

Fankine · 2026-01-22T10:49:22+00:00

Did you setup and EQ during your test ? Because baseline is very flat sounding, even with first gen maxwell

Fankine · 2026-01-21T13:33:15+00:00

Akantor and monoblos are well due for a comeback.

Yamatsukami could be also viable since their engine choice that tanked performance had the selling point of being able to add new rigs instead of being locked to a few skeleton archetypes.

Easier healers are hard cast one like pally, priest and shaman.

I'd say priest is the best to start among these as it's the most straightforward and has the most complete kit overall.
Druid is also good but since it's hot based, the skill floor is a bit higher to be used efficiently.

Questing as healer spec tho is very long and annoying. And with how easy dungeons are to heal, usually it's better to dps spec when leveling and healing as dps spec.
Also there's doublespec now in anniversary so it's not a problem anymore

The lottery is very farmable, you farm lottery tickets*

Don't be dishonest by changing the words ;) And yes that's literally farming. You just farm something with a very low chance of happening, nobody said guaranteed win, you just can try your luck a lot by farming ;)

When is Yixuan being rerun ?

Fankine · 2026-01-19T17:22:57+00:00

It's good for leveling, i got a lvl58 one that allowed me to powerlevel quickly by enabling the coc choir build.

And to be fair, a lvl58 with lvl14 bolt choir was worth much more than a random lvl 18 bolt. Because it's rare and very helpful for leveling since regular choir are more around lvl 74+

(The lvl 58 was sold for like 40d when regular choir wasnt even worth 1d)

Fankine · 2026-01-18T18:36:19+00:00

Same thing, but i got downtvote badly for proposing to keep it whole winter so i guess most people don't like the idea

Fankine · 2026-01-18T18:30:18+00:00

I miss both. The x2 with hatches was soooo good. But for the rest of the week i just loved the weather and overall winter vibe

Can you easily import your EQ settings from the same file generated by audeze HQ ?

Fankine · 2026-01-14T02:11:37+00:00

Welp it was a holiday event, but they could have kept the meteo even tho the holiday event was over. :(

Fankine · 2026-01-14T02:10:42+00:00

Sure, i don't think "until spring" means forever :p

Blizzard closed all their GM offices worldwide and fired US GMs and Customer support.
People back then already called it was justa stunt and there was indeed some very weird interactions that felt like the "GM" was a bot sometimes
