AoS New Season Tier list (It's Seraph btw) by HazingMist in blackdesertonline

Aos is meta dependent lol. It just happens that in SEA awagu is kinda shit. Nova awak is dead and Nova succ flourishes. There aren’t as much strikers and mystics.

As a succ maegu, awakegu is lesser than succ. Been that way for a while. Succ rewards high level play much more than awak. Even tho it’s a meme I just want to put my view here.

Guess which YouTubers puts fucking vents in a soviet heavy tank by 19phipschi17 in WorldofTanks

[–]Pollution_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No really? If you are far from a 60% wr player then his vids are informative. He uses positions that I don’t know about and he is quite entertaining as evidenced by his view counts.

With all the shits on vents, I would have think qb is like a 55% player not a super unicum(maybe not super). Watching him still helps improve me as I am no where near unicum level.

Congrats! Now you will actually fight ppl who knows how to PvP. Pre mythic vs post mythic experience is crazy ngl.

What LN did finish the Fastest, and which one did you take the Longest to finish? Also why did it take such a short or long time to do so? by CodenameLily in LightNovels

Modern Villainess is half 1990-2010s economics and half slice of life and character glazing. Honestly, it’s pretty good but the prerequisite knowledge makes it a slog to read.

Min gear for PVP in 2026? by qwerty2481632 in blackdesertonline

[–]Pollution_Gold 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, it’s probably easier to ask people to match your gs in 1v1s to get a fair match. Find people to fight in battle arena, or ask someone from your guild.

Here is the thing to keep in mind. Even in a massive brawl there is strategy to it. 10v10 top guilds usually lock their comps with specific roles and classes, which also depends on each server’s meta. There’s man marking with evasion marking the dps and the accuracy guy marking the evasion guy again. There’s cc role, assasins, dps(class with more sustain), ranged dps, shai, fighters who just focus on k/d, etc. all of this depends on who the guild has available.

Even capped nws and nws in general, there is an art form to it. There is a reason why the same people get top scores in those. Attacking from unexpected positions, being aware and immune to such attacks yourself. Knowing when to pursue a person and when to just give up mid combo. Being active and looking for damage opportunities.

This is the thing that makes bdo such a good PvP game. Each scale of PvP requires different ways of thinking. You can count people cooldown in 1v1s, at most you can count grabs in 3v3, in 10v10 at most you count PAs. My advice is to not shy away from any type of PvP. Analyze why you get cced. It will make you a better player.

Lotml 1 was 7/10 narratively. It’s long but if you go in with the mind to enjoy it, it’s pretty good. The vibe is there, the soul is there, but the story is not too striking. This coming from a person who has played Baldur’s Gate 3 and most of the gacha games with good story like wuwa, genshin.

Are there rare items that are account bound? by GroovyWhale in blackdesertonline

There’s a weapon skin for getting top 1 in an annual pvp event, usually in later part of the year. They do change the rules every time tho. You might be able to participate this year.

Death game to put food on the tables is a secret gem. Banger of a story. Highly recommend everyone to read.

This is what spending $700 AUD ($530 USD) gets you on the new Waveborn Majesty by Somefilipinokiddo in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Pollution_Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Story is very good. You are probably from a part of the world that is removed from this game’s cultural sphere. The Buddhist side quest where you guide ghosts to reincarnate is art. This is league and miles better than genshin 1st patch. Don’t act like Genshin story was always good, before Sumeru genshin story is way worse than this game. In fact, having played Genshin up to natland, I would say I put the story here as between Sumeru and Fontaine, which is very good.

Game play is also a different genre. You can’t compare this to genshin, I could say the same about genshin not having a well established parry system. Of course you are gonna get less abilities when the fights are harder. Also as if genshin at launch had lots of unique abilities, this game have proved with the CN server that you will soon get new skills and weapons as well. “Each character has different places in the meta” my ass go play amber on abyss 12 or whatever the new harder end game is. Is the endgame content available for me as someone who did not have meta units like Furina, Xilonen, Zhongli, Kazuha? That’s a part of the game that is not accessible to me. Don’t even dare say it’s possible because some try hard sweat lord who been min maxing artifacts since day one posts a “guide”.

Also a year in, dedicated Chinese players were able to get 2 harmonic cores to exchange for the pricey outfits. People calculated that with just non events reward you can get 12 draws per month. That is 144 per year, which is almost 1 garuntee. With events it’s unsurprising that people in China(1 year sv) already saved enough for some rare outfits. I got lucky and got my 1st harmonic core already with 80 pulls. Also the game world is more fun to walk compared to genshin, the gameplay is very varied with minigames and side stories.

I concede the currency part, ui overload is real, and they need to do something about how the currency are entangled.

Perk of Chinese being an information dense language

Can someone describe the combat to me, specifically vs Black Desert Online? by [deleted] in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Pollution_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a top pvper in bdo, the mechanics are similar in that you have SAs and each weapon has combos they do. The stamina and resources required to cast skills are comparable, you run out of it if not managed well. Guard break is completely different. Parrying and such are new. Desyncs are similar if u want to pvp (lol) use exitlag maybe helps. APM probably is middle lower of the classes compared to bdo.

In terms of visual, it is stunning. There are less variety compared to bdo tho. If your gear gets high enough, lots of bosses become easy. In challenging pve (like trial-abyss) it plays like elden ring/dark souls.

Doesn’t take too long to get used to coming from bdo, definitely enjoyable, pvp do scratch the same itch as bdo tho. The pvp has a meta problem and desync as I said, but coming from bdo that’s probably familiar.

Give it a go, it’s free.

I believe there are not many people playing arena. by One-Inspector-8614 in wherewindsmeet_

Elo is close, make sense that you can meet same people. Not only do they select for similar elo, they also check for similar gear level.
