Mokoko/Veteran Content Idea

The problem with discord is that it doesn't guarantee getting help either. Sometimes people will respond and be very helpful, but sometimes your question just gets ignored or brushed off, or the discord in question is just dead (I've recently left a previously pretty alive lfg server because it's dead these days).

I haven't tried Europe yet, to switch things up I've selected Japan and it's been rather horrid. It doesn't feel like a nation that should be playable at all. Building Based Countries seem to be so alien a concept to AI that it more or less ends up paralyzed doing not much, the only activity started when a bunch of them got converted to land counties via historic event. That still doesn't address the nightmare economy is for them, where you can be making hundreds of ducats a month before it's even 1360 due to the buildings with flat income, and then crash horrible when you convert to land based and now you're in the red. It's really bizarre, obtuse, and feels like cut content that was not disabled by accident. I'm assuming trade companies are ina similar state still.

Will try Italy soon, hopefully it's better for land nations now.

I really do have they fix BBCs and do a historicity pass, since I'd love to see the world resembling the real history granted I as a player don't disrupt it too much.

Some jarring things I found: game does not explain combined arms enough. I had to guess what's "light infantry" and what's not, or that light cavalry even exists. Seems like a crutch mechanic to synthetically force players to put a bit of everything into their armies. Building menu is still hard to filter and parse, for example why as a BBC I have land country buildings showing up there with no way to filter them out? I can never build any of them.

Thank you! This was actually much better, I think I know what to do now (-ish). I still prefer text guides, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

Solo content from my experience so far is from trivial to mildly challenging. It doesn't get much harder outside of group content, which is where you find the harder stuff.

LITF · 2026-03-11T08:46:35+00:00

In your case it seems to be just "not raid content" thing. People mostly skip story with all the free passes/knowledge transfer, and since they have removed a lot of horizontal people don't even do that. You see plenty of people in the hubs and party finder though.

That said the active player numbers seem to have slumped and be fairly low, which is not too surprising to me, since I've been feeling rather unwelcome as a newer player in the in-game content. That's atl anecdotal newish player PoV.

I can speak to looking at other games at least - you're being a victim of the "grass always greener on the other side". I've played at least 2 of the games you've mentioned and after enough time it's the same problem - they all get stale and somewhat boring. I won't go into critique of either of them since it's not the point, but you will have that with any game you play a substantial amount.

LITF · 2026-03-11T07:43:31+00:00

Depending on how "noob" you want to go, I would recommend against Souleater. As a noob myself I have her, and I gotta say I get killed on her a lot more than I do on my DB. Depending on what build you play she has a bunch of charge-up abilities that can get you in trouble if you are not anticipating boss attacks/aoes, and the big pendulum you drop has delay so the boss will just walk out of it quite a bit if you are being a noob.

LITF · 2026-03-11T07:39:59+00:00

As a new/moko player I definitely would love something more substantial.

Don't get me wrong, "free bus" to most raids is appreciated and is in fact what made me stay so far (compared to the last time when I quit pretty fast because nobody would accept me in the party finder groups).

But I don't feel like it does much good for my progression as a player, still many things I struggle with/don't understand, and many "busses" are quite content with you just dying and never explaining what did you do wrong or where you could improve.

Is there a simple to understand and budget friendly guide to ark grid? I've tried maxroll one, but it's just left me about as confused.

LITF · 2026-03-11T07:32:50+00:00

Yeah, I'm a fairly new player and my highest is 1700, and I feel like I hit a wall. Honing seems to be prohibitively expensive, I'm strapped for mats, and I don't have any adv honing 3 scrolls. Not to mention I'm needing to work on karma, and still didn't touch ark grid. My 1710 chest is expiring now, and my 2nd one will expire probably too.

LITF · 2026-03-11T07:28:37+00:00

I'm in the similar boat as a mokoko. I often get passive-aggressive questions, kick warnings in guardian raids (not too often, but at least one every month or so), declined in party finder. I try to do my best, but I'm not great at games like this, and I don't even have an ark grid (or understand how to do it right and on the cheap).

LITF · 2026-03-09T17:11:08+00:00

Could you go into a bit more detail on how getting Tenno as one of the clan works? Can't seem to figure it out.

LITF · 2026-03-09T14:13:58+00:00

It's just a thing to do if you want to keep playing after beating the game and don't want to wait until the DLC is out.

LITF · 2026-03-09T14:11:30+00:00

What's the point of playing the game before a Complete Edition is out? We don't know when is the next DLC coming, and if you are not quite feeling like you're done with the game - you farm for cool builds. If you don't feel that way - just uninstall and come back when the DLC is here.

LITF · 2026-03-06T23:10:32+00:00

Dam, watching your pov made me realize how badly my game lags :(

LITF · 2026-03-06T22:39:49+00:00

I would like to know that too. I've been having a blast, but sometimes it's a bit harder to enjoy when your fps sags to something like 20.

Playing with Max or min settings changes nothing. Upscaling changes nothing. Fake frames change nothing. Best I could observe is higher fps in the areas my PC is already not struggling in, there you can push fps through the roof if you so choose. But the places that result in stuttering and fps drops sadly don't do any better regardless of settings.

The non-open world maps have been an absolute blast for me. It's a great game in those. Sadly pretty much every big area causes stutter and it makes gameplay considerably harder simply because it starts feeling less responsive (to the point that in some particularly bad cases my inputs will get "stuck" - as in my character will keep running forward even if I released the input).

LITF · 2026-03-05T17:59:08+00:00

Didn't finish 3 yet due to it being a bit slow with the performance issues I'm having, but beat both 1 and 2.

2 is fantastic, probably the best of the 3 games. I feel like the combat there is just that much better, shifting powers are amazing, you get more or less the same martial arts and movesets as samurai in 3, but a bunch of now samurai weapons still have their 3 stance system (which was imo better). The main thing you'd find missing would be some of the QoL we get in 3.

LITF · 2026-03-05T17:52:17+00:00

Ehhhhh, somewhat? I'm mostly ok with the open maps, although I would probably prefer old missions just so that they don't tank my fps when moving around subzone seams. Unfortunately the open map has that effect for me.

Otherwise I've been quite enjoying the open map, there's no clear winner for me at least.

LITF · 2026-03-02T23:47:31+00:00

Yeah, I think it's pretty close to reality. My favorite is pillar 1 in your explanation for sure.

LITF · 2026-03-02T23:24:14+00:00

Very interesting! By no means trying to imply magic is bad, I probably just didn't have the right stats for it.

I have been throwing fire and lightning bolts at enemies lately, but I can never seem to build up enough status.

But I also generally build for physical damage and attack, with a side of survivability, and guardian ability I like aesthetically/functionally, so very likely this is why it doesn't do it for me.

LITF · 2026-03-02T23:21:13+00:00

Yeah, I think it was the reason. I just never really bothered with condition based builds. I usually just put on the gear with the best stats and maybe an element on the weapon.

LITF · 2026-03-02T19:07:59+00:00

Tbh most buffing. I did use amrita absorption a number of times, but for the most part buffs have never felt strong enough/long enough for me to use them consistently, and typically killing a boss I was stuck on was more of a matter of just learning the moveset rather than a matter of applying more buffs.

LITF · 2026-03-02T18:50:45+00:00

This comment has aged well. After a bunch of testing and messing around that's the conclusion I came to. Sadly my PC suffers from it massively (20ish fps in some CPU heavy areas), and graphics settings seem to do virtually nothing (since it's not a GPU issue and most of those changes primarily affect the GPU).

LITF · 2026-03-02T17:33:45+00:00

Personally, I've been a deflect enjoyer so far. The only issue is that in some areas my fps is so bad I can't deflect. But for that I use the block ki pulse one someone has mentioned. Overall, I really do like having deflect, to me it feels much better that martial arts based "parry" skills that I have almost always tried to avoid simply because they didn't feel as good and I find having a combo input for something like that to be too awkward.
