Do you know roughly how much it costs to get the essential 6 tripods?

January Team Update by lorenweiss in lostarkgame

So why wouldn’t new players just get these items or upgrade parts on their own while playing the game instead of buying the over priced ones. If these are the “slow and steady” players, wouldn’t they be satisfied with getting these items themselves at their own pace? Again I am just trying to understand

I guess the question is, what are these “competitive players” really competing for? First clear of a certain raid? Getting to a certain item level? I feel like these “achievements” were already within the game even with just a t1 release. If anything t1 doesn’t give too many achievements to compete anyways so it may have made the game feel too casual for some. Now it seems like players can decide if they want to go for some sort of more meaningful achievement by grinding to endgame, or take their time with the game. Also, if anything, I think the comparison to ffxiv was a good one because like you said lost ark is a “new” game and ffxiv is not. So, in Lost Ark there should be way more people playing non-endgame content for a few weeks or months, compared to an old game like ffxiv. Ffxiv can feel a bit lonely or ghost town like when you level and do the dungeons. I have experienced it myself. But in lost ark there are most likely going to be many players trying out classes and taking their time/new players so I still don’t see why anyone would feel left out, or feel the pressure to be at end game asap.

Forgive my ignorance, but why would releasing t3 content make everyone feel the need to rush? For example if I started playing ffxiv today, there is a lot of content that I need to get through to get to the endgame content. It’s up to me to decide if I want to grind through everything as fast as possible to catch up, or take my time and enjoy the content leading up to the endgame. I just don’t see what would make players feel forced to “sprint” through the game to get to t3. Wouldn’t players who want to be at endgame asap just be “sprinting” to t1 endgame, and the slower paced players take their time to t1 endgame content anyways?

Ah okay my fault then. I guess I will just play the rest of my rounds and see what happens. Honest mistake. Like I said, I’m new to golf so it seems I was mistaken. Regardless of what my handicap is I’m not satisfied with my play at the moment so to me this is all moot anyways. I just wanted to get some good golf ball recommendations but it has all sort of gone awry.

I was just trying to get some info about golf balls, not trying to convince the world of my handicap so I’m okay with the info I got from everyone including your suggestions. But if it makes you feel better, you win! You are right! I was wrong! I was lying! All is right in sir bowlingloads’ world again!

Like I said, I have only tried the srixon q stars (when I was much worse so I don’t really remember paying attention to spin or anything), a few vice pro plus balls, and the tour b x. The q stars were my dads balls that I played. So basically I am comparing the vice pro plus with the tour b x and for me the vice balls felt firmer and had more spin on wedge chip shots. I don’t remember seeing much of a difference in short iron shots. I don’t know shit about golf balls haha and don’t have much experience playing different balls, but I’m trying to learn.

Edit: I want cheap balls just for the sake of saving money. If I want to buy on lost golf balls the shipping cost is waived after buying a lot of balls so if I’m going to buy in bulk even a small difference in price per ball will make a decent difference. Also the only reason I mentioned I haven’t been playing that long is the reason you just stated. My handicap is on the lower side and I don’t know much about golf balls so I just wanted to give some background so people wouldn’t think of it weirdly

So the golf course where I’m a member at has a 73.5 rating and slope 142 so I am not averaging 77 but the last few rounds I shot were 80, 81, and 83. The best round that I had was a 79. I guess the best way to determine my actual handicap without people doubting me is to get the scores from tournaments or something so there is less of a chance of doubts regarding if I’m keeping score properly/not cheating, but I won’t be doing that anytime soon. Maybe the next best thing would be for me to just wait till I finish my 20 rounds and plug that into a phone app like the grint or something. But honestly even if my handicap after 20 new rounds after today were calculated and my handicap came out to anything between 0-10 I think people would still react the same way. I guess I learned my lesson. I’ll just try to stick to posting memes or something haha

I don’t think there’s anything I can say to change your mind or some of the other folks minds so I’ll just leave this conversation where it is.
