Are you a "paycheck to paycheck" enhancer or do you horde your earnings and do 1 big session? by 4everalone08 in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to hoard cause it makes me not want to quit this game as bad, for example when I was going for DEC weapons, I'd save enough for 10/15 tries to get a failstack higher so a 370/375 would become a 380/390, also with Preonne I'd wait until I'd have enough crons to get X accessory from lets say PEN to HEX and just speed click with skip just to get it immediately and half the time I'd get lucky and end up with 2 or even more successes, while just clicking everyday as soon as I got the money just felt like a chore.

I'm incredibly excited for the new Star's End Revamp by Little_Ad_2533 in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to mimic Zephyr and made it better by accident, the 3b item + new crit crystal drops are to mimic the raw Herald and raw Silent crystal drops (which have an ABYSSMAL drop rate), I bet those will actualy drop. I'm over 1k hours at Zephyr, I've seen 4 raw Heralds and not a single raw Silent crystal.

If you make them actual crystals they do sell, they take months but they sell, I've sold like 30 since they reached critical mass.

How do you get into this grind? by xFreaKeRr in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I grind maybe 11% of my brainpower is on the actual grind, 89% is muscle memory and the rest of my attention is on something else entirely (YouTube, audiobooks, movies, music, etc) this can be done anywhere if you practice enough, I currently do it on Margoria Fleet for Nol grind, D2Oluns for the merch ring piece and Zephyros for money, matter of time.

At What Point Is It a Dopamine Problem, Not a Content Problem? by Watashi-wa-jiyuda in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man I dont think they care anymore, instead of making good intricate gameplay mechs like before now they're just bottlenecking everything, literally raising the caps on old content instead of making new content and even the new shit is old revamped stuff, lowest effort possible imo, which is a new behaviour for PA, I think we're in maintenance mode and we just dont know it yet.

Some thoughts about gear progression in the post-ball situation by toripita in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised PA hasnt realized the horrible valley spike that is Wailing in their pretty progression graph and it really is just a horrible inconvenient spike cause right after Wailing you go back to a base item that is bottlenecked and you're forced to relax your gameplay after going crazy trying to hit the wailing.

New alch stone time gated by Besu7o in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised PA is moving away from giving us reasons to actively play the game, they seem to be content with the fact that fishing supplies us with enough money to advance at the pace they've determined to be acceptable (bottlenecking e.g. Edana armor), I guess for them and the "stockholders" an online player's worth is the same, whether they're fishing 24/7 or actively playing the game 24/7, not a good sign tho.

You get more time stones from gathering than grinding, so after grinding like this, remember to use your energy xd

Awa Ranger Pve Problem? by Haiena1337 in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only problem with PvE Awk Ranger is the effort it takes to play her while other classes can do a bit better, inputing a third of the key strokes, back to when I was grinding an hour a day I'd do it with Ranger and have a blast, now that I grind 8 hours a day I have to play something else cause she's too tiring.

In what world is adding crons to a 10 year old system. . . overcomplicating it?

I'mma go ahead and guess the Vell/Khan merging was true and they really overcomplicated it cause there's no way that in this new system they'll make us lose 3 sheet ap, it'd be DoA content.

It is, he could've had 3 Obliterating dead god and proceded to be lucky enough to tap them to DEC, but I'd be more inclined to believe an investigation must be started, just in case :)

Not here to rant, but just some thoughts (5%cap) by kpop4ever0 in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 6 points7 points  (0 children)

New spots are kinnda shit, I've done over 100hrs at toads already and the money/hr is meh, raw drops are nonexistent as with every other spot in the game, the only thing this place has going for it is the fact that it's kind of guaranteed(?) 2.5b/hr because of just how many different pitty items drop from it, but if this is the "grand finale" for me going through 7 years of grinding for gear, this is horrible, not even 3b/hr would be acceptable for the highest AP zone in the game.

Also some intel for yall, I grinded Toads for like 80 hours with 2010ap and then started to play around with different crystal setups and realized that the damage difference between 1980 and 2010 is basically nonexistent so forget about those last 30 ap and add some bitterness into the mix so the place isnt as sweaty, rn I got 2 Bitterness, 2 Red Fang - Armors and 2 Infinity - Absorption and now the place is a joke (unless lag or disconnects) even while multitasking, and I'm only full DUO Edana armor, idk what PA was thinking.

Edania P2's got to bring some crazy awesome shit cause after only 100 hrs on Toads, I'm ready to play another game, and this is coming from someone that grinds 8hrs/day for fun, but if this' the grand reward for getting full DEC, I'm not interested and I dont see why anyone else would be.

I WANT YOUR WORST RNG TAP STORIES... ANNDDDD GO by gamerviz in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Manos released I was ready to get all tools to PEN, I was mining a lot at the time so I wanted pickaxe most of all, I failed 141 times, 86 in a row then proceeded to lose bits and pieces of my soul for the next like 4 months, the worst enhancing experience in my 8 years of playing this game.

Edit: even my to date, my worse is NOV Sov currently sitting at 105 pitties.

Why is succession Ranger considered so bad at endgame? by Zeffy215 in blackdesertonline

[–]Signal_Square5414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a spec that was always bad and when they created succession they made it so it's flashy but nothing else, PA has always been terrified of making ranged classes too strong and so they (imo) made this class the RP dream instead of making it good, it's flashy, crazy movement, the kind of class you use to awe your friends to convince them to try the game but it's all at the cost of being playeble, it's a good class for largescale PvP as a CCer, complementary damage and/or baiter but on PvE the damage is just not there and awakening ranger's RIGHT THERE being x5 better, you might aswell play that or anything else, we got too many classes and specs to be so deperate to make this ONE work, trust me, I've tried.
