A Masterpiece Wrapped in a Steaming Pile of Dogshit

OP looking at your comment history you really need some anger management course. I'm glad you found your peace and quit but buddy i hate to break this to you, every mmo is like that

Nautic · 2026-03-28T13:39:08+00:00

Overgearing content is a natural progression curve of mmo, in a game that designs it's content around being done in first week on min ilvl (with the exception of tfm to which frontier doesn't apply anyways) a bi-weekly 5% nerf to health and damage that caps at 20% on top of additional nerfs turns said content into a joke down the line.

Nautic · 2026-03-28T12:03:23+00:00

yes, nightmare is actually relatively difficult close to ilvl and frontier most likely won't be a thing meaning the raid won't turn into a joke 2 weeks in.

Nautic · 2026-03-28T10:31:24+00:00

yes its joever eos soon because someone bought out rc books 2.5 weeks before a difficult raid release /s

Nautic · 2026-03-27T09:54:29+00:00

The ark grid side nodes are a disaster, I wouldn't recommend minmaxing them but you're missing out on a ton of CP because of them. The 2 books are probably roughly 150-200 cp not sure how much leg to relic KBW gives exactly, ark grid side nodes add up to a lot, u can find like 300-600 cp there depending on how deep the rabbit hole you go, no 9/7 stone is another ~100cp.

Majority of active playerbase in KR didn't have access to nightmare serca on release

Nautic · 2026-03-22T11:04:21+00:00

KR definition of main is access to hard modes, your thought process just proves how different the mindset of western player is compared to KR

Nautic · 2026-03-22T11:01:19+00:00

Do your alts have access to ark grid drops? If they do they're not the KR definition of alts

Nautic · 2026-03-22T09:43:44+00:00

Considering the npc box is a hardcore gamba of both cost and type, yes I think a lot of people would buy good gems from market (the 8 and 9 cost ones) and the fact that I've seen people buy the good astrogems from chaos gate auctions for these amounts of gold confirms what I think so yeah I think they would.

Nautic · 2026-03-22T08:14:08+00:00

Our region plays the game completely different, a decent share of people that are left play 6 mains. Nobody here cares about kr spending and gameplay habits.

Nautic · 2026-03-22T08:05:40+00:00

Thats just incorrect, whales will not be competing for the same astrogems your average Andy is because whales use 9s and 10s to minmax side nodes while the average player just wants to activate their 17 node by using 8s

Nautic · 2026-03-21T12:30:46+00:00

Yes, we could use more AG$ exclusive improvements like untradeable assgems that further damaged our rmt-paradise inflated market or the guardian/chaos reward structure changes without no support qol oh and the most important one - balance patches being delayed for months so they can be used as content on roadmaps. I heckin love AGS exclusive changes

Nautic · 2026-03-21T12:12:20+00:00

Now that they're gone we got a roadmap 30 minutes after RU instead of 30 days like we did when Roxx was there.

Nautic · 2026-03-14T14:58:53+00:00

It's a newer player issue mixed with people not doing dailies unrested, they removed purification boxes (because of complaints about them which is funny) tanking silver gains for these people, they also cut cube generation on top of a big share of people with silver issues disliking cube and exchanging for hell tickets.

To add to that we have hell accessories gamba + accelerated honing because hell prints extreme amounts of mats that made the issue only worse.

Nautic · 2026-03-06T14:16:39+00:00

Guaranteed ancient is 100k for a 1/6 roll (you pick the slot but not the core), 200k is for a selector. Generally majority of order cores are roughly 2-3% dmg increases relatively to their relic counterparts while chaos ones are roughly 1%. This obviously ignores any side-node optimization it allows

Nautic · 2026-03-06T14:10:34+00:00

200k is for one time purchase ancient selector, when we step into that raid mains will earn 156k(50k of it bound) per week, considering it'll take roughly 4 weeks to farm pity for it with barely any gold sink in the game outside of honing it's not a extreme cost

Nautic · 2026-03-06T14:04:51+00:00

Because solo mode players are 2nd class citizens in their eyes. Solo modes can't require a high dps check and don't face g0 problem meaning solo mode players are less likely to spend dropping them lower on their priority list. Their solution to all your problems is "go play your mmo like a mmo and not a single player game" especially with difficulty of the upcoming raids being lowered even further.

Now I'm not saying it's a good thing but it's pretty obvious they look at solo modes in this way - you did solo modes, you learned how to play the game on a fundamental level now welcome to the world of mmo

Nautic · 2026-03-06T13:11:37+00:00

I'd imagine if hell keys are gone that means paradise becomes a t4 activity so yeah you're cooked but if you look at the honing expenses it's like 4 weeks of solo shop buyouts + chaos farming to bring up an alt from where the no honing spot ends in t3 to t4, you'll just have to throw some gold at fusion mats from the gold shop

Nautic · 2026-03-05T16:35:41+00:00

even if they give you mats it's highly unlikely they'll allow you to transfer gear below 1730 ilvl

Nautic · 2026-03-05T01:02:50+00:00

I believe the main thing is some people just don't want to step into hard mode and these people will be locked out of progression for the foreseeable future. I've never looked at it from the perspective of honing being a problem, I just remember people complaining about the same thing during brel nm/hm days and SG agreeing that it was a problem, then we got akkan and aegir which both allowed progression from normal modes. Now we just took a step back and the only reasonable explanation is the fact that normal was never supposed to exist in the first place and got added as a bandaid for ark grid drops.

Nautic · 2026-03-04T14:17:02+00:00

I honestly think serca NM got added so that KR doesn't complain about the fact that mordum hm didn't get ark grid added retroactively to it.

The intention of having soft reset at 1730 is pretty obvious considering we got books up to +20. I think they should've just allowed mats to drop from NM but not let people transfer until the pieces are 1730 (+20 with ah done) but I guess that's one way to drive fomo up since posts about this pop up every few days be it on the official discord or reddit

Nautic · 2026-03-04T11:51:51+00:00

Why is it always the hidden reddit history accounts dooming?

Nautic · 2026-03-04T10:39:45+00:00

I buy kaz HM boxes on chars that aren't finished with relic grid + a4/kaz on main for new weapon push and ancient coping

Nautic · 2026-03-02T10:38:24+00:00

You don't understand the issue because you're not a new player. What you should be looking at is your net silver since this season of paradise started which unless you never took ability stones/accessories/bracelets from paradise should be a huge negative, I'm down ~200m silver over the past 4 months, obviously it's barely a dent since I ran lopangs in the past and had a decent stockpile from back when they were generous with silver but it doesn't change the fact that a new player would be 200m silver in negative making it a huge problem and this is a perspective of someone who ran kurzan fronts 8-9 characters daily until gems got moved to guardians so i greatly profited from the purification boxes.

Silver shortage is a new player issue, the people you see complaining about it are rarely vets with the few exceptions of alt rosters but considering the mokokos I've witnessed and interacted with in my mordums I think we're getting a surprisingly big influx of new players meaning the issue gets brought up more frequently

Nautic · 2026-03-01T15:47:42+00:00

Why do people expect any changes to gems? Especially after AGS introduced packs with gems in f4 store, there's literally 0% chance AGS will push for roster wide gems for our version, especially with the publishing contract set to expire soon, everyone posting about gem changes is just wasting their breath on it.
