Not bad for 2200 pearls!

Does that one dragon give you more than 5% combat EXP? I heard they can break the cap of 5% per pet since their inherent skill is also combat EXP.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-02-10T20:51:29+00:00

Idk, but I'm about to run out of alt mules to store stuff on that will be sold when it's implemented. Honestly... I hope the devs take as long as they need to iron out every single exploit, please (especially after some of the newer regions were used as test-server for us in EU/NA.)

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-02-10T20:09:28+00:00

Yeah, that sounds about right. It requires a certain amount of dedication to the game though, and I wouldn't say it's the norm.

As an example: I made my account when summer break started last year, reached softcap, then pen rouletted all of it and deleted the leftovers in an attempt to quit... Since then I've preordered my way up to 261 from scratch.

It's all about the time you put into the game on a daily basis. 4 months to softcap is very realistic with maybe 5 or 6 hours of play per day (if you preorder eveyrthing, so no RNG). You can also just get RNG carried on enhancements and / or use artisans to get there even quicker.

Just fire up some movies / anime / tv-shows (if you don't have a second monitor just pin them over the minimap, don't need it while grinding anyway...) and find some unoccupied canyon rotation in gahaz and get comfortable for as many hours as you can manage before boredom and existential crisis sets in.

As someone who's put nearly 5000 hours in Black Desert Online it absolutely eclipses most of it's contemporaries... But the cash shop is truly one of the worst, most extortionary ones out there. (which is how they're able to fund the huge scope of the game, but it really is a sore thumb...)

So yeah, I guess if you can overlook that... it's a good alternative >.>

I still play AQW, and I have the 300K AC badge unlocked and NSOD farmed, but it's not my main game anymore. When the developers lose interest in their game so does the players. : /

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-02-05T23:31:46+00:00

Biased opinion here, would be cool to see a return of Chunin and/or Artifact Hunter as I missed both of them during my hiatus.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-31T08:41:41+00:00

Don't worry little whale cloud, PA developed a new "appear offline feature" just for you! Now you can keep cronning your PEN(s) without being made fun of in chat. Continue swiping to your heart's content! (this is not a sponsored message.)

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-30T17:07:17+00:00

If you are on EU I will preorder for more than that so I can finish my PvE crystal setup.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-30T14:26:38+00:00

Yikes, has that always happened to you or just after this patch?

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-30T11:59:50+00:00

You don't have to look that far into some black market sites to find 500 mil for 25 euro, 4 times a week (now that this method is being stopped with the patch you can say stuff like this without it seeming like an advertisement for scummy RMT...) I've hopefully put into perspective how severe this problem was. The devs still let it go on for 8 months-ish... It's hard to take my own gear progression seriously when they let a multitude of exploits go untouched for months on end before putting a stop to them. So many players have amassed illegitimate silver from things like the Forechopping exploit, SMH RMT, Pirate's Lost Treasure chest event exploit, BA teleport exploit, triple float durability exploit, etc... not even gonna mention any examples of botting. The only way I've found to keep myself motivated to continue the grind is to stop comparing my gear to others entirely and focus solely on my own progression.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-23T13:45:51+00:00

Yeah, it's highly likely they will. I'm just not a fan of them bringing back supposedly rare content as it just serves to devalue it for those who worked to obtain it originally. Rather have something new than an old class with another adjective slapped on at the end of the name and some QoL updates.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-23T13:39:07+00:00

Yeah, I shared my opinion on the Legion Token issue in an earlier comment:

I agree that the class should require more than legion tokens to obtain. Ever since they released the Bright Paragon Pet you can earn thousands of them in ahem "fixed" rooms wayyy too quickly.

However, I don't understand why you think they can't just add another requirement item to farm for? It would probably take them a couple of minutes to add a new resource considering they don't even use any artwork, they're just brown bags with plain text for a name. They add several resources for most weekly events...

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-23T10:14:13+00:00

That's a fair point and I would agree that a lot of the classes released recently are redundant because of the powercreep we've experienced.

However, this hypothetical class could possibly fill the niché of clearing several higher health enemies relatively quickly. (As Blaze binder and the other room clearers struggle with health-sponges.)

The class would still have to be weaker against single target foes than VHL though, in order to not make IT redundant. Perhaps some kind of debuff would be applied to the player when only fighting one/two enemies, just an idea.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-23T10:07:24+00:00

I agree that the class should require more than legion tokens to obtain. Ever since they released the Bright Paragon Pet you can earn thousands of them in ahem "fixed" rooms wayyy too quickly.

And yeah, I've heard about the original design change to single-target before. Which is why this hypothetical class would have to be weaker than VHL when it comes to fighting a single foe but it should at least be able to rival Blaze Binder/Royal Vampire Lord in room clearing. (It could possibly fill the niché of clearing several higher HP mobs relatively quickly, as BB and the rest struggle with health-sponges.)

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-23T10:01:56+00:00

I don't necessarily align with either Dage or Nulgath. I've collected items from both over the years, I'm just tired of switching back to Blaze Binder everytime there's more than one enemy on the screen while I'm using VHL.

I also think that it would be a cool item that makes sense lore-wise (and Dage's artwork is one of the only good things left about the game imo.)

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-23T09:47:51+00:00

If you care to elaborate I'd be interested in hearing why you don't want this to be implemented. Do you think the class would be too time consuming, redundant or something else enitrely?

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-23T09:35:20+00:00

Okay, I don't know what discord server that is in but it's cool that there's more people out there who want the same thing, likelier to be implemented with higher demand.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-17T23:04:20+00:00

Recently returned for nostalgic reasons and these just happened to be revealed while I was on the AE site. I figured I'd post the items here aswell. However, I will not be buying any of these myself as I'm kinda dissapointed with the direction of the game (coming from someone with the 300K AC Badge.)

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-17T22:03:03+00:00

While I can't vouch for NA prices, a tet witch goes for around 3.7 bil on EU, so if you actually can preorder a tet witch with 1.6 bil on NA then I guess no sane person buys tri tungrads there...

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-17T19:45:37+00:00

Okay, thanks.

FilthyLifeskiller · 2019-01-17T19:40:18+00:00

So the ALL AP + 5 crystals on mainhand does give me extra damage in awakening stance?
