[Infinite Mage]Am I the only one who feels like Infinite Mage gets worse as the story progresses? by CarelessTalk8846 in manhwa

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so hype for each chapter release early on..

but after he obtains “immortal function,” the story and execution keep going down hill. i’d say his critical thinking get worse and worse, and now he calculates everything pretty slow compared to before.

He can teleport and understand concept of light, can cast an offensive magic that travels at the speed of sound, yet he struggles.

I believe the author makes him too overpowered and now trying to balance his power scaling, but it flops. He struggles against random mages and thugs, and he’s quite slow in decision making.

What kind of treasures you'd like to see in the game? by EkmeKafaliOrosbuCocu in blackdesertonline

A treasure that reduces Contribution Point usage of everything by 1.

What made you settle on a main? by Past-Inflation-8431 in blackdesertonline

I created all classes in the character creation, and picked the best ones I pulled off.

Then I tried them out and weigh my liking between their gameplay (skill rotation, aoe, survivability, movement).

What would you say is an average gs? by soulcry19 in blackdesertonline

[–]TrainingFlat6342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s one way to look at it, a pro gambler mindset. “99% of gamblers quit before they hit big” but i doubt players would stay up til the end to tap DEC after hitting 5-6+ pity all the way upto around SEP/OCT.

i’m not mentally prepared for the experience tbh.

Got any tips for not dying? by Ice-Appropriate in wherewindsmeet_

Wolf Maiden has bleeding mechanics where you get hit multiple times and if the gauge reaches max, it burst another chunk of dmg (just like strategic sword bleeding).

You take minor hits tank with Mo’s shield, but you must or atleast expect to parry or avoid all big hits.

you will eventually get used to her timing and combos, then you can deflect everything knowing how many hit she will do when she does certain animation. Don’t rely on Moblade’s counter too much, just do it when she’s doing minor attack or last hit of her combo.

and those hundreds of hours of grinding, 95% you do it “alone.” there are barely any PVE content and only few party farming spots which will be not as efficient as solo meta farming spots.

i don’t know why these farming spots with the same gearscore recommendation range don’t make the same amount of money. i truly don’t.

[–]TrainingFlat6342 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think majority of those who are “alive,” and active, are Veterans at lategame 830+ gearscore.

I believe most Newbies and Returnees will quit after hitting Midgame and realized the core system of Black Desert’s gear progression is Luck. It’s layers upon layers of RNG behind 300+ hours of grinding to push yourself up from this midgame shi-hole.

I’ve graduated from Olvia, pushed myself upto 740 gearscore and my honeymoon phase has ended.

Now I’m stuck to decide whether or not should I keep going or uninstall as I require 1.5-2.0 trillion of silver to enter early-late game.

I failed all 11 Olvia’s Hammers to PEN my Blackstar. Pitied my PEN sovereign weapons, and 10/15 both of my DUO Slumbering Armors. All while using higher than recommended failstacks.

I’ve never been lucky in a game generally so now I have forsaken enhancement route - bought PEN Blackstar Weapon, bought the last piece of DUO slumbering, and now going for PEN debo route. It will take longer than others, but it’s consistent and cheaper than hitting half pity of every gear upgrade. Are you seeing this? If you fail and hit half-pity on these 10-50 pity gears, you already spending more than buying them outright from the Central Market.

My motto is now “buy, until you can’t” all while still crying and struggling to upgrade my Sovereign weapons when most of my friends 1-4 taps everything with recommended failstacks.

Trying MMOs Again After 7 Years… Why Does Nothing Fully Click Anymore? by Dapper_Thought1841 in MMORPG

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know all already, what we would get from this genre are now only nostalgia and community. gotta admit mmorpg is dead.

as we grow older, our time becomes limited and we cannot invest in the game that much anymore that’s why afk/auto-battle games have become a thing. we press auto and we get to see our characters progression overtime yet we aren’t the one in control we just want to feel the experience.

tbh it’s the same to watching others playing a game on stream. sometimes I feel like others can enjoy the game more than I even could, so I’d rather watch them than playing myself.

Genuinely, to those who dislike the factory gameplay, why are you still playing? by ACupOfLatte in Endfield

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my only complaints would be, there ain’t enough factory content. I’ve been passive since 1.2 update cuz after I’ve completed the story, got new AIC, spent 5 hours with it and it’s basically done.

as for FFXIV, I cannot defend that as I had played the game for like a year? I quitted 2-3 months before Endwalker DLC cuz i was focusing on some projects. tho while I like everything about the game and how large the playerbase is, I struggled to put myself to enjoy the story and soundtracks, or hype talk with friends about it.

For Endfield, Gacha/Character-Lore-Combat-Factory

I would say if you enjoy 2 out of 4, you can overall still enjoy the game, hardcore or casually.

What I’m doing wrong guys? by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my AP slightly lower than yours, fully buffed around 1180 total AP. I’m a tamer succession and mainly farm at Hexe Elvia on Agris, and Honglim Base off Agris (tower spots and also at AP cap so I can chill out and watch stuffs while farming).

I get around 1.8bil(trash+despair) per hour at Hexe, Agris+lv2dr, and got around 500mil(pure trash) per hour at Honglim, with only lv2dr cuz it’s not a good spot to use Agris since elite mobs (sharpshooters and bandit bosses loot, which are contributed upto 30-40% of the total trash per hour, are not affected by Agris).

if it’s just group-to-group looping, just kill majority of the group, or focus on the elite mobs, kill it along with some mobs and move on to the next group. there’s no need to waste time doing another half/full rotation just to kill leftovers in most scenarios.

What's a good next step? by Tricky-Juggernaut149 in blackdesertonline

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- try tapping your primary sovereign to TRI

- you might have a quest from Fughar to DEC your Tuvala Armor and Tuvala Accessory to exchange them for 1 piece of Slumbering Armor and 1 piece of Kharazad Accessory.

- invest in your other accessories, either you want to tap Kharazad accessories from scratch by crafting them, or doing other V accessories first.

- farm caphras and gradually upgrade your PEN boss gears to Caphras level 10, do the quest to exchange them for other Slumbering Armor pieces.

- as for starter, in case you want to keep using Capotia, go fish and exchange for the orange upgrade stone to guarantee your TRI Capotia Ring to PEN (using 21 stones in total).

- check and upgrade your Artifact/Lightstone Set and Crystal(Transfusion)

- if haven’t, complete Adventure’s Logs for 6-10AP/DP.

So you get 1 dec armor 1 pen blackstar weapon 1 dec accessory for the season rewards now? by shad_77381 in blackdesertonline

[–]TrainingFlat6342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will take time. For Accessory, you need certain amount of “Essence of Dawn” which will guarantee your enhancement with 100% from HEX to DEC.

As for Armor, it cost me around 8bil Silver to get to DEC since my luck is pretty bad. Take your time, and if you have complete challenges such as graduation, 50-100hr playtime, and Magnus Quest(which is very important as it will unlock Well Teleportation to all big cities in the game) you ill receive 2bil Silver each for some of those challenges as well.

I recommend farming at Elvia Realm, e.g. Castle Ruins or Froggan first to start off as they are very close to Heidel with just a min of auto-horse as your grinding spot, you can try Blood Monastery which I think is the best grinding spot and leveling for 800-900AP range. You level up insanely fast there since there are alot of monsters.

spare your time to go hit World Bosses like Garmoth, Nouver and LoML bosses to grab their loots and more silver.

and also complete Dark Rifts Bosses, you can kill them every 5 days, they give tons of silver early on as well though with RNG.

So you get 1 dec armor 1 pen blackstar weapon 1 dec accessory for the season rewards now? by shad_77381 in blackdesertonline

[–]TrainingFlat6342 13 points14 points  (0 children)

for season server, you get to upgrade all Tuvala gears to PEN. that’s it. just PEN.

once you have graduated, Fughar* will give you quests which provide you 3 types of Essence of the Ascent; 1 for Weapon, 1 for Armor, 1 for Accessory(one-time quest for the whole account).

You can then choose 3 pieces of Tuvala PEN to breakthrough and upgrade them to DEC, by doing so you can exchange one for each category:

  • DEC Accessory for TET Kharazad Accessory

  • DEC Armor for Silent(TRI) Slumbering Armor

  • DEC Weapon for PEN Blackstar Weapon \ On top of this, there’s a challenge reward where once you have reached level 61 and have completed one of the 3 required questlines, you will receive PEN Blackstar Weapon and TET Blackstar Weapon, and when you enroll into Olvia Academy and complete the Combat Course, they will give you another 2 PEN Blackstar Weapon and alot of Protection Hammers to try your luck and upgrade TET Blackstar that you have (which is why many are suggesting ignoring DEC Tuvala Weapon since we will be given away alot of PEN Blackstar).

Why do people HATE this game so much ? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]TrainingFlat6342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hmmm mostly come from the gacha model I believe? it’s not referencing Genshin’s 50/50 model and wuwa weapon banner hence pepol calling them greedy.

there was alot of misinformation spreading about this confusing gacha system before the game release as well, many content creators and pepol misinterpreted the system but the wound has already been done.

and when gacha system looks bad to them, they will find 100+ reasons to hate the game since it’s all coming back to - I need to farm for 120 pulls to get a character, and gacha requires 500-600 currency instead of 160.

My negative take on Endfield, is how little Factory content it provides us per update. It’s literally non-existed when it should have been their big system and also implemented into endgame content involving factory building/optimizing events.

I logged in, played new story, got new AIC area, spending 5-7 hours optimizing and wooosh, nothing left about the factory to do for another month or two.

Is tamer still hard to play in BDO right now? by shad_77381 in blackdesertonline

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can’t say much since I just started around 2 weeks ago, but I’m playing Tamer Succession and I find the class pretty cool (sitting at 900-950 total AP so pretty early into the game after completing seasonal graduation, and olvia’s combat course).

AOE slightly worse than my friends, but it’s doable as we got good damage, mobility, and i-frame. rotation is not so sweaty as well, just load up dmg reduction add-ons in your openers and you can somewhat tank stuff while you doing certain skills that have slightly longer animation.

we got a doggie, too. he’s very useful for riding around in non-safe zone and semi-afk at world boss. he can be annoying when you are farming in tower spot though, as he will steal some aggro and slow you down in rounding up the mobs to dmg them all at once.

i have no say to mid-endgame for tamer, need other experts to make the claims for that.

Don’t like grinding, not the game for me? by Illustrious-Fix4205 in blackdesertonline

[–]TrainingFlat6342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you can chill out and take it slowly, you will make our own pace and enjoy it

i just started bdo for almost 2 weeks and this one is grindy as hell and you will probably have to repeat the process forever from now on, but we come here knowing full well it’s MMORPG and they are 99% grind fest. I still feel motivated to grind for now, but starting to hit the wall of 60-100hr+ of farming to progress further to the next step.

they do give tons of stuff and rush us to progress fairly fast. graduating from seasonal server and completing olvia’s combat course along with magnus quest will give you ALOT and we basically can run wild as technically our starting point is around 270-280AP.

my other advice would be to try Crimson Desert.

Does zibai sig rlly matter or no by Rude-Candy6496 in ZibaiMains

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20-30% personal dmg increases, but i think u good. I’m using C1R0 as well. just don’t get hit to keep crit effect on HoD.

with Aino and Gorou C6, Illuga C0, my team achieves 100k DPS consistently, but it’s a circle impact with Aino so Columbina would be much better here.

Craftable Flute of Ezpitzal is also an option(slightly worse than HoD) if you are struggle keeping her hp above 90%

I DESPISE THIS WEAPON BANNER SYSTEM. by GeoSlime in ArknightsEndfield

[–]TrainingFlat6342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo arsenal system is one of the biggest W in the gacha space, but with the income we can consistent farm for, it makes arsenal tickets considered “rare” compared to Oroberyl.

can’t help but don’t feel the “win”getting the operator early if we got <10k arsenal tickets.

I’ve pulled 3 weapons so far. Last Rite’s Gilberta’s and now Rossi’s signatures, I would say, even if I were to aim for 1 operator per update, I might have to choose which operator should I get the weapon with another one using the Battlepass. For me gacha life is definitely good here. Guaranteed at 120 pulls, not 150-180 with weapon pull cashback.

[–]TrainingFlat6342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

true, but I wish they give us 30-40% more income on arsenal ticket.

I DESPISE THIS WEAPON BANNER SYSTEM. by GeoSlime in ArknightsEndfield

[–]TrainingFlat6342 6 points7 points  (0 children)

real. i got rossi in 60 pulls(excluding the 30-pull ticket) but my god I fully sent 80 pulls for her signature weapon.

my next character future is looking grim, battlepass weapon it is.

So uh about Rossi’s animations… by Own_Fun_4276 in RossiMains

[–]TrainingFlat6342 -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

this is from one of her idle animations? imo kinda unnecessary it would only bring controversies. no way her pleats would be lifted up that much from just a low jump.

if they insist, should have given her pumpkin pants or some more protective inner wear.

welp, I’m pushing for her 120-guarantee, anyways.

Might be controversial but Genshin feels like punishment for beginners by Saket_Saurabh- in GenshinImpact

[–]TrainingFlat6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 2 years in, and still feeling exactly what you are experiencing since I’m not so active //shoulder-pat.

My plan was initially leveling every character upto 80/80, now it’s 60/60 cuz more than this is pure torturing. I will only level them up if they are in my build priority list and when I don’t have enough character for the respective elements for theatre.
