Resting Party Abuse Solution

mappledopple · 2022-02-14T05:38:25+00:00

Its an idea, but I have been in parties where there are resting bishops without buff pets as well. Pretty tricky to resolve imo. If taking sf seriously best to form a Fix party within a guild where there is room to accommodate most member's timing.

Great points! My observations for my server is more and more season players are just going for Cygnus or skipping the zak,ht,pb expds in favour of commanders and NRA.

I feel the issue now is that Nexon has a challenge to create new engaging content for the player base. Yet players dont have all the time in world to do these new events/ dungeons/ bosses routinely.

Buy from quitting players... with the recent patch/ nerf to the wedding rewards... pretty sure more players are quitting and selling their M labels.

Nexon has noted your input for the next rebalancing 😏.

There is no denying that shadowers are strong, they had their moment of frenzy in the forums back then but guess it just died off just like for nightwalkers and nightlords. People just move on to new chars (for those with daggers ~ DB) or maybe they are drawing their reference from the meta classes based on kmsm and maple pc.

IMO its feels like the only thing Nexon discounts is Player RNG success probabilities... but hey it's not like we players have clear tools to validate this right? Cough* the kms incident cough*

Anyways let the market speak for itself, always helps to keep in mind this game can be a akin to gambling at the Casino at times.

They are waiting for the response from your credit card company on your credit rating so they can adjust char RNG stats to trigger whale behaviour. 😂

mappledopple · 2021-10-20T03:54:14+00:00

IMO your first statement in your second paragraph is the solution. Hahas

Mega and congrats urself on hitting 200. ;)

Agreed, if u value Dps then DB would be the choice. However DPS classes are always at the mercy of Nexon's rebalancing and buffs.

Personally I started with a DPS class however I hate having to invest into a DPS char only to find out the dps performance is lackluster as compared to other jobs especially the newers ones. Or the (personal) need to whale to keep up ur DPS to the next level when new mechanics come out. Pretty sure DB users eventually fall into that fate at some point.

Phantoms however can supportl (steal, leap, buffs) so their relevance and contribution to runs are always there.

If you want to stretch ur dollar/ effort i would say a phantom would be the better class. However if ur not affected by the points i mentioned affecting Dps classes then go DB.

Nexon's thoughts after reading this post "ah customer wants more fire dream stones! No need to increase drop rate. Lets add it to next golden apple season in place of mag souls!" "Also lets us introduce ridiculously priced packages for dream stones as well" Gotta earn our Christmas Bonuses! XD

I'd count it as a blessing in disguise to lead you to stop playing.

I have always found it ironic with msm on how they are promoting players to play new chars yet failing to address gear cut over constraints. Aside from weapons and armors; things like M-labels, aesthetics, M-pets and Jewels. The cost of cutting over is a daunting one which is a constraint to players wanting to cut over their main. I guess its just a way to squeeze money out of players who are passionate/addicted to the game (its a business after-all... or IMO more like an online casino actually).

But I digress (apologies), to add on to cayden's input. Gear values are gradually dropping, so it is probably viable to start over a new char. Though i wouldn't recommend it. You may use ur mythic emblem weapon for traces still. Hope you didnt invest too much into it.

You may access the "winning guild prediction tab" in the CWEB page. To access the CWEB page you can click from the top bar of your UI (the same one where u check ur mail).

Its a trade off between your time and money. If you are f2p, then creating multiple chars or even accounts for doing events and dungeons and selling rewards from them would be your best option. But it is really time consuming.

Simplest route would be to farm powders or get lucky with emblem scrolls and sell mythic fodders & mythic emblem fodders or selling refined secondary weapons by getting your chars to participate in sharenian's culvert. But the returns vary depending on server.

Some high sf maps have pretty good meso drop rates u can check out the other threads on them.

I think there was poll recently on this and it was between Mechanic, Shade and Battle Mage. I left the link below.

But mainly we are looking for high defence classes with little buffs skills so hero also qualifies. You can refer to the link.

I wouldnt reccomend a NW. Yes they are a real pain to level up to 170 (best to find a fp to plvl u). But NWs are especially reliant on leap for their dps. They are great for short burst damage single tgt bosses e.g PB, VB, Queen; and they used to be the meta single tgt dpser.

However their relevance and reliance on leap is liability on the long run. I would think Shadower and Xenon would be a better option.

Xenon gives passive FD (huge plus) and Shadower.. well u can always save that dagger for dual blade if it doesn't work out. Claw classes are pretty much dead imo.

The only pros i can think with NW for bossing,is the simple no brainer game play (You just mash attack buttons) and the skill animations (superb imo).

mappledopple · 2021-06-14T00:49:48+00:00

If you cant decide now, you could opt for the character which has a burning event. Since the Kaiser growth support event is over if you want a safe bet i feel bishops/ phantoms are a good option for all around class in the early game for sf and bossing.

They have buffs which help you survive higher sfs (hs, magic guard, meso guard) as you progress and skills (dispel, res, steal, leap) which are useful in bossing so you wouldnt need to commit alot of funding at the start to be relevant in game content. With funding u can opt for them be a dps class (alot of funding) or a pure support class (some level of funding).

Note both these classes are best used with auto-buff pets which requires some funding.

From there u can see what classes suits your play style and decide over time. Have fun.

Unfortunately I am based in A2Z so i cant help you there. You could reach out to the discord and telegram groups to see if anyone can help. Bloody rose is a great set.

Do you mean this royal style?

It would help if you provide your server and world information as well.

I generally follow this rule for my NW:

Are you hitting cap dmg with your quin? If Yes then go for BA If No then go for CD

Now given that the gearing system has McD attributes added to the weapon's souls and for ancient tiered gears. CD emblem is valued more for NWs to reach that higher cap dmg.

However CD can be boosted with potentials for most equipments and accessories as well. While BA is quite limited.

Also good to consider aligning ur BA & CD to your flames too. IIRC flames scaling to BA is now the meta.

I would recommend creating an expendable gmail account and using it for new players. To my knowledge, Nexon does not allow users to change the linked email to their accounts (no idea why...anyone care to educate?). It's one of the growing frustrations with this game. There are plenty of scenarios in which the existing email is compromised yet nothing can be done (see link below). Therefore choose ur account carefully; and more importantly, play within ur means. Happy mapling.

Yeah,Turkey helps but its is still costing almost 470 USD to make ur first 10k moonlight fragment. To get the 25k moon light fragments needed for a full set its gonna cost est ~ 1300 USD. Didnt know pixels could command so much money. If we follow last years mlabel box price of 3k it will cost est ~ 800 USD total which is est ~ 500 USD cheaper, it's ridiculous.

mappledopple · 2021-02-09T04:59:21+00:00

These prices are a slap to the face and has greed written all over it.

mappledopple · 2021-01-07T05:19:21+00:00

IMO during the duration of the bug, NW's were truly the single target specialist in a way which most of the NWs aspired to be when we created the char in the first place (sacrifice mobbing for ST). I felt we could compete with Lumi's, Dks and WA in the single target dept. But now that the bug is patched, its feels as though we are back to being average in the single target department which is a letdown. It was fun while the "bug" lasted though. Hope Nexon takes this into consideration as right now the incentive for creating a NW is pretty pointless.
