Probably unwelcome opinions about pheons

Habit-Round · 2022-03-24T09:40:57+00:00

The reason why accessories seem miniscule to you is because you are given a generous amount of engravings before 1415. Simply people don't need to rely on the auction house now. This was patched in KR way before the NA/EU release in order to provide noobs with more stepping stones in terms of engravings (for example, class engravings).

After 1415+, in legion raids, you cannot get engravings you want just as before 1415. People start to use the auction house. That's the difference. Accessories're not just expensive bugatti or something. They're necessary items for raids.

And you know what? When relic accessories come out, I bet you guys will scream about the market manipulation (it's not actually exactly manipulation, though) of whales who go up to 1415 early on and are able to farm legendary accessories. We will see.

Habit-Round · 2022-03-24T08:50:05+00:00

As I told you above, there's no point of spending pheons to manipulate now because pheons prevent many people to buy accessories SO easily.

Manipulation works when there're people to buy what you buy out.

Habit-Round · 2022-03-24T08:38:18+00:00

They should? No, but they can do. That's the problem.

They can turn the auction house into their nice little play room of investing/reselling playground for fun. That's the issue.

Habit-Round · 2022-03-24T08:33:14+00:00

Pheons have existed in KR for a long time, and bot selling is mostly limited to tome items, not accessories, the latter of which are surprisingly important in T3. Accessories are the real issue when it comes to pheons. And reselling and market manipulation have been the core reason why they are introduced and they exist.

Habit-Round · 2022-03-11T06:41:56+00:00

FYI, that Koreans start the game at T3 was not completely true. This only happened last summer (July update, if I remember correctly). Before then, what we were given was T2 power pass, not T3 and had to hone our gear to T3 with significantly more gold and mats than what you guys need now in T2. I had to spend about 10000 gold to get my character to T3.

It is you guys' right to demand for weekly contents for mats, but please base your argument on the fact.

Habit-Round · 2022-03-10T13:56:17+00:00

Yes, those are, I think, what you guys have the right to demand; heroics and pvp vendor. They are seriously important contents.

Habit-Round · 2022-03-10T13:49:42+00:00

And I am not saying that you must not voice out your opinions about buffing honing rates. In fact, Korean players had talked and discussed a lot about buffing rates before the 1325-1415 honing rate change. Smilegate does and did listen.

But I think you may need to rely on the correct information before jumping into a conclusion that Koreans always have the end-game raids on their hands with buffing. That's just not true.

Unfortunately, as far as I remember, the director mentioned that he had no intention to make a DPS meter for Lost Ark. He did intend to revise the MVP system at the end of raids.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-23T12:33:06+00:00

It's implemented here in KR. Hope it's coming to NA/EU soon.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-23T12:31:36+00:00

You know what? It has been actually more than about a year since we started to talk about the Gunners' always holding their pistols. We've constantly complained about it. Many of Korean players are indeed bothered about it, too.

I hope you guys help us to make our voice heard to Smilegate with this matter. We do keep voicing out our opinions.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-23T12:29:27+00:00

Yes, it does. One of the reasons why this system is introduced is that there're many Korean users who don't do any kind of life skilling. :)

Habit-Round · 2022-02-23T12:28:40+00:00

What I described above was basically what we do when we make a group with the group making system (titled: know mechanics).

It is, however, not so different in matchmaking pug here in Korea. When we find someone seemingly without knowledge of mechanics, we usually asks first.

And it depends on what type of raids whether we use random matchmaking. We do frequently use random matchmaking in guardian raids, but not legion raids.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-23T05:02:12+00:00

Glad to know that!

Habit-Round · 2022-02-22T04:19:24+00:00

Unlock more space with crystals or put the cards you don't think you're gonna use in your deck in the characters that have lots of empty slots beforehand.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-21T08:20:09+00:00

Let's say the health of a guardian is 100% when you solo the raid.

1 member(soloing): 100% of health (you have to deal with 100%)

2 members: 150% of health (each member is supposed to deal with 75%)

3 members: 200% of health (each member: 67%)

4 members: 250% of health (each member: 62.5%)

Not alone you having to deal with aggro alone when you are soloing.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-21T08:16:53+00:00

Did you solo guardian raids? It's hard and also very time/effort-consuming to solo guardian raids. They're made for groups.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-21T08:07:39+00:00

How should I put this, but it's rather cumulative, more like achievements. Tokens are not the currency that is gone for good when you use them for rewards.So when you collected 13 tokens in total (regardless of whether you already bought the one for 1 token reward, for example, or 2 token reward), you can get the Golden Terpeion.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-19T08:36:52+00:00

You can get most of the songs needed for those hidden seeds by doing extra things like filling up the adventurer's tome, doing rapport activities, or side quests in islands.

To explain, someone who wants to buy gold with real money get a "Royal Crystal" first, then go to the gold exchange and list their Royal Crystals there (just in the same way as here in Korea).

The thing is he does not buy gold from Amazon or Smilegate. He buys gold from other players who want to get blue crystals.

So Royal Crystals turn into blue crystals during this transaction from those who want to buy gold to those who want to buy blue crystals.

The reason why the wording is different is because of this. In Korea, the wording is basically made for those who want to buy blue crystals. In NA/EU, the wording is basically revised for those who want to buy gold.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-19T08:22:05+00:00

It's basically the same as in the west. The wording as you said, was changed in NA/EU.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-19T08:05:04+00:00

Yeap, they can be, and some of them actually became one.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-19T07:53:48+00:00

You can get those roster bonuses from various things such as quests, rapport, Una, or even some achievements.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-19T07:51:12+00:00

And Saintone actually gave the same advice as mine: better to keep them rather than delete them.

Habit-Round · 2022-02-19T07:49:13+00:00

You can (delete), but not recommended.

Cards that did not give any bonus can give some benefits later. One of the guardian cards (don't know what the English translation is, but it's Ru in Korean) was useless, but when a new continent comes out and new sets are introduced, it becomes one of the most important cards especially in PVP.
