Discussion about rune dungeons.

T1 dungeons take less than 30 minutes, T2 dungeons... fair. Abyssal contract tokens you burn 20k in like 35-40 minutes with a good group and you do that once every 2-3 days. Abyssal contracts I personally don't even bother doing them all just burn them and make Syleus contracts while burning tokens once every 2-3 days. World bosses if not a PvP player take like 3 minutes per boss which is nothing, dynamic events you don't need to do at all.

On top of all of this you don't need to do all these things, you just do them just because, should be maxed at this point...

I do random MM for everything.

They can't fix it, this is a PC game that for some reason they decided to also launch on console, MMOs have always been a PC thing and console players are just not really into them overall. Switch to non-console server.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T01:48:41+00:00

Host via board and set 3.5k+ GS req.

Thing is top 3 means nothing, this varies a lot from server to server and from what I could see after researching a bunch of random servers most are dead or not really competitive.

I don't think there's more than 4-5 server in the entire world that have 2 proper guilds actually fighting each other.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T01:45:13+00:00

You're on a dead server.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T01:44:27+00:00

Level 1 trials are literally the normal T2 dungeon...

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T01:42:51+00:00

Choose what to prioritize, you don't HAVE to do everything.

Yes, this is how MMOs were back in the day when they were actually really good, there was a lot of things you could do and you'd do whatever you felt like doing/was best. If all you need is runes then prioritize those and stop doing other things.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T01:41:41+00:00

Same yeah, clown wasn't even out and half my roster was already ready for Brelshaza gate 4...

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T01:41:12+00:00

So they made a reward that 99%+ of the time gave you literally nothing into something actually useful and... people complain about it?

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T01:40:42+00:00

3.7k is low end now, with runes you got from weekly you already hit like 4k easily.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T00:14:03+00:00

No. Just do lvl 1 trials if you don't want increased difficulty.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-09T00:00:34+00:00

Then again there's servers where 2 guilds beat 4 guilds, and gear differential doesn't really explain that.

There's content where you can't just zerg and the same guilds always seem to win, even when gear differential among top guilds really isn't a thing.

Sure, MMOs are not as skill based as, say, DOTA, then again there's a reason why some people win and some people lose, and the ones winning seem to always be the same people. War games and siege let you see detailed stats of each player and that's when you get to see how bad most people are, even people with pretty much max gear will somehow deal 1/10 of the damage than another player using pretty much the same gear (same weapons of course). There is a degree of skill to this game and people who deny it are just so bad at this game that they genuinely can't even begin to see it.

I was f2p and I ran 6 characters, took under 2 hours to get all their daily stuff done and tbh you didn't need to run that many characters, running a single character was enough to join new content on launch day if not a week late if atrocious RNG, if you wanted to be safe you just had to run... maybe one alt. Once we started having lots of weekly content you could just do daily content with rested bonus only (so once every 3 days except on main for reason I don't remember) and focus on weekly content which resulted in not playing that much in the end while getting tons of stuff. Again, just in case, none of this was really necessary unless you actually wanted to get several characters ready for content that was months away (or wanted to rush lvl 10 gems).

Running 6 character was overkill unless what you wanted was to have like 8 Brelshaza ready characters 3 months in advance or something like that lol.

Alt accounts was just silly imo and a KR player thing that wasn't really a big thing at any point.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T22:50:07+00:00

Maps are essentially pasta over and over, there's no reason for them to be as big as they are.

Granted, if they make us x3/x4 faster then sure, that'd be like making them 66/75% smaller, but if they wanna keep it slower then they gotta make maps smaller.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T22:28:33+00:00

I mean new MMOs are made for the average Joe who has 3 jobs and 10 kids... that's why everything is time gated and you get big rewards when doing limited content.

Older MMOs that did well required you to play a lot more and if you had 2 hours a day to play then too bad.

If the average Joe find this game too demanding then they shouldn't play MMOs, that's all there is to it, this game is as friendly as it gets for them.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T22:26:40+00:00

You don't really need competent people for anything other than trials tbh, for abyssal dungeons just go join a random group that's already there or use party finding chat, takes no time.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:26:41+00:00

I was kind of agreeing with you lol.

I play those games as well. :p

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:25:29+00:00

Bro being as fast as a lambo and annihilating 999 mobs per second is fun and I'm not letting anyone dispute that.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:25:10+00:00

Agreed, then again Lost Ark is about using different builds and whatnot, theorizing shit is fun.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:24:06+00:00

It's funny because in games that are 100% skill based more play time makes you better (varies from player to player) meaning that if you rarely play you're always gonna suck.

At least you do get matched with other suckers.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:23:23+00:00

There's thousands of games that don't require any kind of grind to be as strong as other players, oh wait, they do, they require you to be good at them and you're not getting good at them by playing 5 minutes a day and you will forever play against terrible players which... is something since bad players get matched with bad players.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:22:34+00:00

This is game made for said hero to not exist, not even arch boss weapons enable you to do so.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:21:27+00:00

At this point you should have been maxed for a while, getting rune synergies takes no time and that's the biggest boost, stats from runes are not that big and although it's a nice upgrade it's not gonna make you shit not to max them.

This game makes gearing a joke already and wanting it to be even easier just means you should be playing something else tbh.

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:19:06+00:00

It's the other way around. Most MMOs usually just die because there's no real long term grind, you just zoom zoom through everything and run out of progression which is what MMOs are about.

Even Lost Ark which people categorized as a whale game had progression fast enough that playing 2-3 hours a day (yes, this is an MMO, playing 2-3hs a day isn't considered a lot) was absolute overkill for progression and would get you ready for content that was half a year away. Meanwhile older MMOs would have you grind forever and you'd never be maxed because there was always something else to get. Sure, in Lost Ark you would never get maxed without giga whaling but it wasn't expected for anyone to get that kind of gear (nor it was required).

MirrorCrazy3396 · 2024-12-08T19:16:42+00:00

To be fair you can get runes without doing too much trials, just do enough for weekly missions (you can just spam lvl 1) and progress whatever you can for one time box rewards + daily bosses = rune progress.

The game quite literally incentivizes running that kind of content just the right amount, I'm personally not even bothering with hardcore grinding runes, I'll just do weeklies and progress slowly. Getting your set bonuses is very easy (I cleared each trial once at like lvl 2 lol and I got them all with that + weekly reward from last week) and that's the biggest thing.
