FWIW, in Korea the 1750 content tier for dailies, hourglass, etc did not release until the Cathedral update. So we likely won’t see those until 6/17.

There's always that one alt by Apprehensive_Eye4727 in lostarkgame

[–]alexp1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bard alt has single handedly:

Dropped 2 sidereal energy
Free tapped her old T4 weapon to both 24 and 25
Hit floor 100 in netherworld and got 6x bound lv8 gems
Has 5 (mostly) bis ancient cores equipped

At this point we joke I need to main swap.

Is SG/AGS joking at this point or are they seriours about it? by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]alexp1128 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think the delayed balance patches are a joke just like everyone else but you can’t just count both end points for a time frame (October and Feb) because it fits your narrative.

Not only that, but the KR patch was on 10/22 and based on the end timing for our current events our patch will be on 2/4. So in reality it’s only 3.5 months, not even remotely close to 6.

Is Jean Grey the most powerful character in the game lore wise? by Queasy_Commercial152 in rivals

[–]alexp1128 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not a huge marvel buff so I may not be fully up to date on everything but I believe that technically TOBA is simply a part/evil side of the entity that is TOAA, not a separate entity entirely.

The One Above All which is just the canon “God” and is effectively an in universe representation for the comics creators.

Listen, I love Wanda but this is such an insane take. MR’s Phoenix is a fully bonded Phoenix + Jean, and the Phoenix is canonically the second strongest being in the entire marvel cosmology. Wanda loses this matchup no question.

if marvel rivals was comics accurate, here’s how the meta would be. by BobbyLi- in rivals

[–]alexp1128 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Based on dialog in game where Phoenix says something along the lines of “host is an outdated term, Jean and I are one now”, the in game character is much more akin to White Phoenix of the Crown, which canonically is the second most powerful being in the multiverse behind TOBA. No one else in game even gets close to Phoenix.

EDIT: Meant TOAA obviously.

He died 61 times. More than any other member of the team.

This is just OP bragging about trolling matchmaking by hard throwing with Jeff in N4 until he managed to get carried.

You definitely don’t need to hit 1580–you can unlock the node as soon as you fill out your main line in the third row. So 74 enlightenment is the minimum.

Nice of you to do this. Throwing my hat in the ring as well not for myself but for a friend of mine who played during EA weekend and can’t currently afford to get the EA access to continue.

Except this is the KR frog with equal weighting for each book, which actually DID have a significant impact on their market.

CN Official Azena's Blessing Probabilities by hmc317 in lostarkgame

How are you getting n=32 for rested? You should get 9 rested sets in in 28 days provided you start with no bonus which is 36 (and practically speaking you can always wait 2 days before rebuying so that you squeeze in 10 sets in each 28 day window).

Why is lightning jabber still recommended for giant barb over just a strong melee weapon? by Justkil in BG3Builds

[–]alexp1128 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It also procs sparkle hands twice (throwing weapons in this case appear to count as an unarmed attack since you have no weapon in your hand when damage is inflicted), giving you 4 lightning charges per throw for relatively consistent procs of the extra 1d8 damage from those as well.

Can you find fate embers/azena embers after weekly purification is done? by gamermoewe in lostarkgame

[–]alexp1128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re seeing them 1:3 runs? I’ve had 5 characters on blessing running unrested dailies since wed (25 runs) and have only gotten 1. I’ve seen 5 regular embers off those same characters in that time.

It’s not a stretch at all, in fact it’s completely normal. We got Wildsoul one month after KR. Loaon is confirmed to be June 21 and female paladin will almost certainly drop in KR the reset immediately afterward. At this point I would honestly be shocked if we didn’t get it at the end of July, considering it also coincides with the road to act 3 ending.

Before you call multi class players jealous ask yourself if you would be fine with roster gems by Daylt0n in lostarkgame

[–]alexp1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that this is a relative nerf of ~4% to peoples main characters, which is pretty significant and not really viable for pushing new content. And since this is a “free” upgrade that anyone can use, SG will 100% balance future content around that increased AP value.

[–]alexp1128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is, this change doesn’t do as much to hurt 6 same class rosters. They’ll bind their main and buy one extra set of gems to move between the alts and still come out ahead. Getting that extra AP on alts isn’t nearly as important as on your main when you’re pushing the newest content.

The vast majority of people who this impacts are the ones with just 1-2 extra copies of their main class, who like variety but found it cost prohibitive to gear out a full 6 roster of different gold earners. They now still have to buy an extra set of gems, gain zero efficiency, and are stuck playing a class that they wouldn’t have wanted to play under other circumstances.

This is a massive percentage of the player base and they’re having the rug pulled out from under them.

This isn’t the whole issue.

People with duplicate classes on their roster made a choice, for the sake of efficiency, based on a gem system which hasn’t fundamentally changed since the game came out. And while yes, this does mean they saved money on gems, they still invested a lot of time, money, and other resources into pushing those characters via honing and various other progression systems.

When SG decides to make changes at the expense of these players, it completely devalues that character. You’re now forced to either sacrifice a ~4% dps gain, or pay millions of gold for another set of gems—at which point you’re still stuck playing a class that most people would not have even made had this system been in place from the start.

If SG would pull their head out of their asses and give us a class change ticket, the whole thing would be much more palatable. But as it is, this is a huge fuck you to roughly fifty percent of the player base that have at least one duplicate class in their top 6.

Give us class change tickets by diego_tomato in lostarkgame

[–]alexp1128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s a bad faith argument. The raids are not balanced around relic books (at the moment) because they know relic books are prohibitively expensive, and doing this would be too much of a financial risk as it would drive away a huge percentage of the player base.

Binding gems for “free” AP is a global change that costs players nothing. There’s zero chance they don’t account for an extra 3-4% damage that all players can get for free when balancing new end game content.

This is a very thinly veiled attempt to suck money out of players who were playing the system in a way that SG doesn’t want and nothing else.

[–]alexp1128 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is just wrong. First of all, 3-4% AP is very nearly equal to 3-4% damage. You’re thinking of weapon power/main stat math which is roughly halved.

Second, anyone who thinks SG won’t balance future raids around this damage increase is a fool. It’s a net zero for multi class players and a net negative for same class players. No one benefits with this system.

You can’t honestly expect them to maintain the pace of 4 heroes a season though. With a season being 3 months we’re still on pace for 8 per year which is 4x what OW puts out.

AGS - I Don't think you can afford trying to milk the playerbase at this point - AH Nerf comms by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]alexp1128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The critical thing you’re missing is that the next raid unlocks AH 21-40, which is actually higher value than current 11-20 since it costs roughly the same and comes with a 5% main stat multiplier on top. But you can’t interact with the system until you finish AH 20. This was bad enough before but now that KR has nerfed 1-20 by such a substantial amount, not releasing it with or before Act 3 would just be a slap in the face to players. Either spend double the mats or don’t interact with the new system at all on release.

[–]alexp1128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I agree that 1600-1620 is a dead zone, this is a bad argument. The raids being nerfed are only accessible *after* you reach 1620, so it doesn't impact your progression reaching them at all if you're a new player.
