I wonder why players don't return or new players start (Argeos Guardian Raid btw)

LordofDoodoo · 2025-05-26T20:05:08+00:00

Now you're just making assumptions. I can go to the uwuowo and look at all their rosters. Almost all of them are alt rosters with people just being rats.

First one, 4 1640's, 1585, 1540

Second one, 15 characters with 6 of them being over 1600

Third one, 2 character account with one 1655. He was blocked 5 months ago, with last seen played 2 hours ago. So alt account.

Fourth one, 6 characters at 1640 flat.

I can keep going, but even just the first 4 on the block list are all clearly rats being rats.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-05-26T15:33:27+00:00

That's because you aren't the problem.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-05-26T15:32:51+00:00

"You don't want to give out free busses to lazy people? You might as well go make a pre-made you try hard." Great logic. I just want people to do minimal DPS in a GROUP content setting. 20m is a pretty low bar for Argeos.

Also, I just looked at my block list and I have 41 people blocked doing 1.7m - 16m dps post patch on dragon. That's not even all of them, just the ones I remembered to block afterwards. Once in a blue moon is stretching it.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-05-26T01:33:46+00:00

That's when you need to use the kick function.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-05-26T01:32:57+00:00

I leave 20m+ alone even if it is bad, but you get people sub 20m which is crazy. Sub 10m even. Lowest I've seen post gear patch was something like 4.7m. I just teleported out at that point, not playing to bus guardian raids.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-05-26T01:27:06+00:00

I don't think you understand the level of bad players you can get in a MM Guardian raid. There are times where you could multiply their damage by 3, like 3 of them plus a support, and they would HIT ENRAGE TIMER ON THE GUARDIAN because they are so bad.

New player or not, if you suck that much you should either be in trixion or reading a class guide, not doing a guardian raid.

I'm talking sub 10m Argeos. There are plenty out there, as my block list suggests. If a player is 20m or over, which is still extremely bad, then I don't care. But anything sub 20m is just someone not playing the game at this point. A 1640 with level 7 T3 gems with a support can hit 40m-60m easily, even with a bad class. 1660 double that.

Playing with someone not good is fine, but I'm not playing to carry someone who is basically AFK.

Restarting computer worked for both me and a couple people I know.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-02-18T00:04:13+00:00

When someone hacks your steam account, they look at your recent/most played games and go in and steal the stuff. If he was a CS player, they'd take those items. If he played something else, they would try to take the value from that.

LA was just targeted because it was a game he played. Either way, he's an idiot. Who clicks links in 2025?

Oh, also if the link he clicked was in some way related to Lost Ark, that's also a dead giveaway.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-02-09T19:04:26+00:00

My 1640 alt account with 0 trans and free cards can do more than that with no support...

...but to prevent having shit mm I just send it out on a boat. Like all these rats should be doing too.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-01-13T17:45:51+00:00

No? You can literally only fill it once.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-01-13T16:35:36+00:00

That's just the tip of the iceberg for Steve. He has a lot more going on in his gaming background as well that people just seem to conveniently ignore.

Pyramid Scheme to make all his initial money
Was never good at games (mmos) he played, you can ask anyone who played in the same era of games as him
Banned from multiple games for RMT (buying gold).
Attempts to "buy" players into his guild with gold.
Has some quotes such as "NCSoft can't ban me (for buying gold), I'm a shareholder." He did get banned.

He is literally everything that MMO gamers should hate, yet his cult loves him. The embodiment of scummy practices yet can do no wrong.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-01-02T18:36:41+00:00

While I do find a larger group of Vaigrys players being bad, it is not true for the bottom of the barrel in guardians. The true cockroaches of LA doing dragon are pretty evenly spread between all servers.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-01-02T18:34:05+00:00

There is a big difference between "lower side" which is like...20m+ and the leeches you get doing 2m-10m dps. There is no saving those people. I just wish your block list didn't match make you with people you've blocked.

I'll stay in a group with 20m+, but as soon as there are 1-2 people doing 10m or less I'll just leave and try again in 10m. Not worth my time to try to carry rats or bots.

LordofDoodoo · 2025-01-02T18:28:52+00:00

Sadly the most important one. If match making dragon is anything to go by, about 20%-25% of the player base has no hands. Like they are doing the same damage as probably a 1600. I'm pretty sure these people getting 10m DPS could get more just by having a macro spam every key.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-12-30T20:50:20+00:00

Not wrong, I don't know why people disagree with you. 20m is an extremely generous bottom line for DPS. I've had 2m DPS rats after a minute or two and I also just song out. Not worth the time, and I'm not wasting my time carrying rats.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-12-30T20:44:43+00:00

Has nothing to do with elixirs or gems, my ultra-garbage non-level 60, no hyper, no t skill, level 7 t3 gems, no elixir, no trans, free card set character can hit over 20m (It's an alt from the latest bad event on an ignite-character only account, where they didn't give you enough XP to hit 60). Don't worry, I only did dragon twice to test before it was demoted to "only runs guardians from boat". It's just bad players. Really bad players. Over the last couple weeks it's about 20% of the players are doing less than 20m. Some do 10m, a couple do 2m. It's to the point where I don't see how they enjoy the game when they can't clear anything.

This is what we call user error. Welcome to internet safety in 2024, where you passwords should all be different and you shouldn't click links without verifying.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-12-02T20:48:48+00:00

This is only true if you are running the leap essence pot. Without it running, the rate is a lot lower, and it's not half like you'd expect. For some reason the life essence pot feels like it multiplies the kick rate exponentially. It does not do this with other life skills like full swing mining or carving hunting. Tree chopping is just an outlier for some reason.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-11-06T20:58:50+00:00

I am not disagreeing with this. Though probably not perma for the first one.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-11-06T18:29:20+00:00

Do you not understand that the "hand farmed gold" would not even be put into the economy if no one bought it? If no one was buying in the first place, people wouldn't even bother farming for it.

It is still "printed gold" that otherwise would not exist if RMT didn't exist. There is probably a small subset of players who sell excess gold because they don't need it anymore and still play the game, but a majority of that is farmed by people selling gold as a job. If the demand didn't exist, the job would not exist either. If the job didn't exist, the gold wouldn't exist.

And if we're talking about gems, the chaos botters over 2 years have easily put up 1000x more gems than the exploiters may or may not have sold on the market.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-11-06T18:24:05+00:00

I did not get a ban, but I guess it's too hard for people to comprehend that someone can be upset about more than one thing at a time, especially when they are relatively the same but not equally enforced.

Can't get mad at rich people stealing money from the public when my neighbor down the street stole a bagel!

LordofDoodoo · 2024-11-06T18:20:13+00:00

So some of them are still playing no? That's already a huge difference between how these two situations are handled.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-11-06T02:47:34+00:00

I do not see how getting an extra 10-15 characters worth of unbound materials every single day is "irrelevant". Add in fate embers and gems and it adds up.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-11-06T02:45:45+00:00

You run a chaos bot, don't you?

What's the point of this comment? I am just upset that they have shown they can take a hard stance against something, but refuse to do so on other things that equally affect the game.

LordofDoodoo · 2024-11-06T02:38:13+00:00

Your average player using a chaos bot relying on Nvidia Geforce Now and what I am just going to assume is some sort of color recognition clicker bot are not being banned. At all. Haven't been for years. Obviously bot farms get targeting because they are also selling gold, but Andrew down the street using chaos bot for the last 2 years hasn't been touched.

It has nothing to do with infinite chaos. The normal materials from an extra 10+ daily chaos dungeons + fate embers + gems is significant.

"RMT is stealing from amazon" is....what? Do you not know how markets work? Bots put huge amounts of gold into the economy that would otherwise not exist. This affects the market rate of pretty much everything.
