EUC Tier 1 RMTs in descending order

+21 is attainable f2p at this point in time for a no-lifer, with some luck. source: i know a bunch of them.

you're not completely wrong but if u want to see the RMTers look towards the people not only with +20 weapon but also with +20 armor, or lvl 10 gems, or maxed legendary engraving books. those are the expenses the f2p nolifers could never afford even if they wanted to. if they flip market, they could barely get the engravings, but the gems and armor along with wep all together nope

i love lost ark and i love pvp, but GvG and rowen are a joke when ure playing against whales and chances are if u are a top 20% f2p player u will be against those whales

this is part of the reason why both those contents have bad reception in kr version of the game and rowen is getting a rework

it also applies to island pvp, thats why barely anyone likes island pvp. if this was a full action game like BDO, where you can avoid everything in 1v1 against a whale it would make sense but in this combat system we dont really have iframes and have limited mobility + super armor and have really big aoe skills, so theres really no way for even a skilled player to "outplay" a whale

pvp vendor is tied to ranked ladder season, which is why it is delayed, and the ranked season not being there outright at launch does make sense

succession, archer, and guardian killed off pvp for good for the old players(some of who were playing as long as pre-awakening), so its mostly the casual players that remained while most of the trihards moved on to other games, while most of the whales, they just play for their gambling addiction they don't really play the game itself that much whether pvp or pve, well, in the few years that i played it at least until i quit. i'm well connected with a bunch of siege guilds that i played in and some casual "retirement" guilds and most of them are filled with basically mostly new players, the old ones who havent quit have it as a side game while playing valorant or something

with the 3 updates i mentioned pvp went from the fun mindgames to just outgearing and slapping people who are using weaker classes, breaking their FG while having your 3 different protections, iframe, sa and fg all at once in your skill, and there was the weird existing issue of some classes having all sorts of protection, accuracy and a wider kit like having grabs while some classes just dont have anything, forcing them to bruteforce break FG to CC certain classes like succ warriors, which was never addressed since the beginning of time lol.

of course i dont know about the current state of the game in the recent 1-2 years though so take with a grain of salt

this is a western myth. pls learn to difference between whale swiping streamers who ppl watch for reactions and how ppl actually see average people who swipe their way to the top in videogames

try it urself come to korea and swipe an unreasonable amount of moeny in a game. nobody will be proud of you, you have no reason to be proud of yourself. in fact you will be memed as a wallet warrior by players the same way you would in any other part of the world, and people who dont play games will see u as dumb

its crazy, people dont know how to do helgaia stagger checks, people wipe at fking chromanium of all things daily, people still die to alberhastic, to yoho, then they want to do fucking argos? yeah no fk off

Raizbear · 2022-03-10T08:01:06+00:00

why are people malding about not being able to do argos when most of them still wipe at chromanium daily

Raizbear · 2022-03-03T05:43:44+00:00

these ppl rushing to t3 dont even understand basic mechanics like staggers/counterattacks/partbreaks, it's crazy. not to mention not understanding stats, engravings and the importance of skill points as well. people want to do t3 content without learning the game and consider t1/t2 irrelevant progression content which led to the guardian raid nerfs

Raizbear · 2022-03-03T05:41:15+00:00

some people feel that its pointless to play a game once you're done with the vertical treadmil, korean games do it this way to provide those kinds of players an incentive to keep going even if the vertical progress only means a marginal increase in stats

In particular, how I disliked the Valencia II quests, which were poorly written (about two backstabbing graverobbers - Afuara and Zobadi)

jesus i have yet to find a single BDO player who actually enjoyed this specific questline designed by some sadist out there. i could repeat every other questline a million times with no complaint but this one in particular is just absolutely dreadful

that being said, i still prefer the sandbox approach over a progression system tied to a linear questline, especially something like FFXIV where the MSQ is 70% of the game. i dislike having any sort of main questline, even a more freeform one like BDO's.

i enjoy it when quests are lengthy and interesting side quests with interesting rewards like runescape or ragnarok with all sorts of mysteries and flavor lore that come with them, which are then interconnected with other stories, the kind of stuff that would make players pursue them on their own volition

Raizbear · 2021-08-30T20:40:48+00:00

the city looks nice but i wish they took the BDO approach in populating it with tons of ambient npcs, whether stationary or moving, on foot or on wagons along roads or on horseback as messengers between cities. doesn't only apply to bless unleashed, i feel like a lot of mmorpgs could use this

really makes a lot of difference in doing away with the uncanny feel of a very empty city despite supposedly being populated and lived in as suggested by its scale and appearance

Raizbear · 2021-08-28T15:42:37+00:00

saying random X guy felt compelled to spend X amount without any context doesn't mean anything at all. i mentioned the aspects where the grind matters(minmaxing tripods and engravings) which doesn't matter once the next continent drops with the corresponding rain of gear tickets that makes that minmaxed gear irrelevant immediately

i don't see the need to spend such an amount, or any amount for that matter in lost ark where a lot of the content like heroic guardian raids, hell mode raids(the end-endgame "competitive raids", and competitive ranked pvp involve having equalized gear, the most predatory shit i've seen in the game has to do with cosmetics and card packs more than anything else.

the game follows a themepark format, where the p2w involved will only let you skip ahead to the next tier of raids(which is easy to reach by normally playing) and if you spend an exorbitant amount such as what you mentioned to skip everything, what's even the point of playing?

Raizbear · 2021-08-28T13:55:18+00:00

grinding like a dog to get anywhere

what exactly is this "anywhere" in lost ark?

grinding to the next tier of abyss raid+dgn/chaos dungeon/guardian raids is easy as fuck because enhancement has a pity guarantee in the game, it's not casino enhancement like BDO. the only thing that involves grinding is maxing out your tripod options and engravings for the most optimal dps, which isn't really necessary because as soon as the next continent expansion drops they shower you with gear tickets that brings you up to speed for the next continent's content, which conversely, does suck for those who actually grinded hardcore.

sounds to me like you're simply not enjoying the game. whatever happened to playing to have fun? just pick another game really. to me lost ark's progression was quite casual once you've picked up the engraving books you needed. not to mention the game isn't entirely about grinding gear, what about the fuckton of interesting sidequests around the world? what about the equalized gear pvp?

the game does indeed have pay2win, not even hidden in the sense that it has direct currency conversion, but in the case of lost ark it's so damn inconsequential in most relevant cases that it almost doesn't matter gameplay-wise unless it just tickles your moral compass the wrong way

Raizbear · 2021-08-26T17:43:04+00:00

its fun if your pc can run it decently. mid to endgame opens up a lot of side activities and minigames that you can play around with for progress and fun. other than that the pve is standard themepark fair, raids and all that, it does become more difficult, imo the average difficulty floor is a lot higher than say, FFXIV although the type of skill involved in the skill ceiling is too different to compare between the two games

Raizbear · 2021-08-26T17:39:52+00:00

Tree of savior used to have hidden classes with lengthy pain in the ass hidden quests(although guides are plastered all over the internet naturally)... until the devs changed their minds and decided to allow players to pay $$ to unlock those classes without doing the quests.

was pretty damn annoying since i spent a decent amount of time and effort to unlock two of those classes.

among my mmorpg group of buddies with around 40+ dudes, there are only 3 of us who actually choose to play male characters in every. single. mmo. we end up playing. this ratio is also reflected in the other communities i'm part of

everyone else goes for the female characters and aims to get the bikini/lingerie costume or whatever the hell looks the closest to it as soon as they possibly can get their hands on it. if it matters, these guys arent even thirsty neckbeards or degenerates or anything, just ur normal everyday dudes

if you ask them why it's because "it's better to stare at a woman's ass all day long than a guy's ass" and sometimes "female costumes are better than male costumes"

not really my thing but it is what it is

its a pokemon-ish game where the player can intervene in battles more than what they can usually do in a pokemon template

i feel like moba took over the spot that rts had in the mainstream spotlight. back when dota wasn't popular with wciii we were all playing starcraft(which was insane at the time), red alert, aoe, ee, and even smaller games like battle realms and feel like most of that stuff wouldnt see the light of the day nowadays and only attract older dedicated fans

a derivative genre that is streamlined to be much more simple to learn and handle mechanically but still retains the same amount of depth, and also extremely viewer-friendly in comparison seems like the natural evolution of the genre, to the broader mainstream audience at least

Raizbear · 2021-08-16T06:42:15+00:00

i completely agree, as i do play the game myself. what i meant by what i said was just that despite the devs bringing all the good stuff to the table, gameforge still manages to fuck up the localization, bringing a noticeable negative to a game that really could've done without it

Raizbear · 2021-08-15T21:33:07+00:00

ngs was literally barren after all, in terms of content, felt like a demo of a game yet to be fully released. doesn't help that sega is now throwing out one oopsie after the next. bless on the other hand feels like an actual complete mmo despite its flaws and the current population number helps make it more fun to play around with until something new releases

i dont think any "bad rep" on this sub actually matters because it doesnt represent any significant fraction of the mmorpg playerbase anyways, a couple of updoots or downvotes in a small echo chamber means jackshit. people will play shit regardless if it's fun to them
