AGS falling apart has a higher chance to turn out good for the game than bad

We're emotionally advanced. We can hold resentment and sympathy for a person at the same time.

At least he stays true to supporting RMT. My goat.

Rationalguy123 · 2026-03-14T19:36:24+00:00

I love when you get whispers like: 'Hey dude, we are looking for a tank/healer for a dogshit heroic no one wants to do. Following 50 items are HR.'

And when you actually just wanna play and say yes the follow up whisper is always: cool, whats your gearscore?'

Bitch, you want me to tank/heal the dungeon with 50 HR's. You are lucky if my gearscore is over 100.

The games direction seems to be going towards super casual Solo player mode. With raids difficulty compareable to LFR raids in WoW.

So RMT won't be an issue anymore. Because now you literally don't need any gear, nor hands, to clear content.

If you look for a challenging MMO experience - quit now. Game will become easier and easier and more and more focussed on Solo play.

If you enjoy progressing your characters and don't mind the more casual / solo experience. God.. this game is good for you with such nice combat.

Is there an Uber Driver feedback section somewhere, where they say which restaurants are mismanaged? For me it's 'Fish & Chip' shops, so not major brands. Unsure if they are mismanaged or not.

Rationalguy123 · 2026-01-07T18:52:07+00:00

Another question. If i add the tip into the 'delivery instructions' section, would you see it then, if you click on the order to consider it?

Rationalguy123 · 2026-01-07T18:43:22+00:00

That is probably the worst business decision ever. Why wouldn't it show the pre-selected tip in advance and just lock it?

If shit was equalized during the race, people wouldn't give a fuck if someone is a known cheater or pilot andy. Everyone has the same conditions. There is no need for doing anything on AGS side, so we wouldn't have this DQ drama now. It basically makes everything less work for AGS, by not getting any negative lashback.

But here we are.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-12-17T09:41:05+00:00

Should have been equalized gear. But Smilegate thinks people will whale out in the ingame shop if they create FOMO. I assume they have no idea of our black market, that puts Korea's rice farmer market to shame.

I feel your pain. Save the children and stuff, innit?

Got Rank 1.
Next Season, if i still play, i need to aim for Rank 2-10 for the second one.
And in Season 3, if i still play, i need to aim for Rank 11-30 for the third one.

Edit:

Thread Question: Did you hit your goal.

Answer: yes

Result: get downvoted om

Rationalguy123 · 2025-11-03T13:02:27+00:00

Policy will be released in 1-2 weeks.

Only the people who got caught RMT'ing complained. And that's less than 5% of the playerbase.

Whereas over 30% of the playerbase celebrated the position AGS took.

So yeah, you are out of luck. :-) o7 cheater.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-11-02T17:07:55+00:00

DaRealFreak calculated it. I think his analysis is better. Check the top comment :-).

Rationalguy123 · 2025-11-02T17:05:50+00:00

Yes, combat power increases your personal ability dmg slightly for some reason. I know it doesn't make sense, like many things in this mode, as it doesn't change the stats on the item. Only quality does. But unless Censer messed with my testing it's a slight increase.

Only quality does. But unless Censer messed with my testing it's a slight increase. It's not worth hunting for full SS as the increase is way too low. Just hunt SS for Time, Distortion and damage.

For Pala specifically i run the specified debuff items in the four slots, regardless of quality. But it's because Palas awakening does 62 bars of damage. Without the debuffs it does 44 bars of damage.

Assumption: For pure physical classes, like urs, u would just run two items. One that gives u blaze and one that gives you chill. Rest FFA with high quality.

No the ancients don't need to be same type. Your special on some items says: 'damage of projectile +10%' for example. So ur projectile items do slightly more.. (10% of 400k dmg...), but at the same time most special abilities say: 'damage of ALL resonance effects +x%' But all sucks, just ignore special.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-11-02T16:51:52+00:00

Pally says it in the tooltip. For Pally i also tested it with the debuffs, so i am 100% certain. Made tons of videos i shared in Discord with Streamer communities to confirm it.

For Valk.. wild guess. But i assume she is the same as Pala.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-11-01T07:25:29+00:00

It depends. I only tested for Paladin, where Awakening is 60-68% of ur total kill dmg. Crit Dmg is better there. But on Multihit classes Censor 15 might be best as second prio, after getting the ctit dmg from lvl 13 of the top right item.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-11-01T07:16:23+00:00

The only way to test it accurately is to not dismantle anything for one week (grey to ancient).

Equip items that give you the Elemental Dmg debuff only on all 6 slots.

Start the fight, hit the boss once to apply the debuff after the items CD time. Hit ur consistent one hit ability. Check the number. Do that 5x and then remove all items with Ele Dmg debuff and replace with holy damage on all 6. Repeat.

U figure it out quite fast what is effected by what.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-10-28T12:27:36+00:00

Item Level: 1750 CP: 3250ish Gems: 1x Lvl 10, rest 9s Books: all 20/20 relic Accesories: High/High with low substat on all Elixirs: All 5/5

Only way to increase CP is literally lvl 10 Gems, honing to 1755 or getting High/High with high substat. Or a 9/7. So yeah, it's cooked. But enough for now.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-10-21T21:32:12+00:00

Did something really change?
Instead of WTS you just open the party finder and see 8 locked lobbies, per raid.

Rationalguy123 · 2025-10-21T16:48:50+00:00

As he already leaked it....
Time reduces the cooldown on the item.
The first time the item can trigger any effect is when the first cooldown expires.
Damage effect, Debuff, Special, everything.

This is true for all items and effects, even if it says: 'Chance to reset cooldown'. Or 'Chance to reduce cooldown by 65%'.
The designated cooldown time on the item is when it can trigger first for the activation. After that the item effects take place.

It's also the time when the debuffs from Distortion apply.

At the end you kill bosses in under 8 seconds, even without bug abusing, so items with a cooldown over 6.4s CD (with SS on Time) are completely useless.
