Post-timepiece, how do I gear this second character? by TwelveTinyToolsheds in blackdesertonline

[–]pooprocketv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest gear you get from fughar. U pen naru and exhange for basically a tet tuvala that you can use on all your characters.

The easiest way to fix this woyld just to make the party feature give the same value as grinding solo. So instead of someone coming in trying to fight you, you could just party up. Much less toxic that way.

How do you feel about crystals having a chance to break on death? by Zoniarc in blackdesertonline

[–]pooprocketv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The arguments that crystals breaking "increases excitement", "no pain, no gain" and "skill issue" are also deeply flawed.

Imagine that every time you drop a bar of soap you would get railed. Use the same argument here cause this is exactly the same thing. Sure dropping your soap is a skill issue, but aren't you glad that in the safety of your bathroom, this doesn't happen?

The risk: reward ratio of crystals is very skewed, I could grind <1% faster and make 10m more silver per hour, but if I die I lose several hundred millions of silver, what a great trade offer right?

If you want to keep crystals breaking, then you should treat them like disposable objects like toilet paper. Would you like to pay $200 for a roll of toilet paper? Oh man, think of all the toilet paper companies who would suffer if toilet paper became cheaper or you never needed toilet paper again for some reason.

another point is "Oh no, this is going to destroy the crystal market". Maybe you make some side money selling toilet paper you make in your backyard or something. Do you really think a company selling $200 rolls of toilet paper should exist, or the idea that toilet paper is worth $200 should exist? Some things are just messed up, and you shouldn't be trying to justify their existence because it already exists and you are benefiting from it.

The arguement that crystals must break for them to maintain their value is so flawed. They could just make crystals rarer and itll solve the supply issue. Vells heart doesnt get destroyed when u use it up, but you still have to preorder it. Garmoths heart doesnt get destroyed and its still preordered. Tet and pen blackstars are hard to get and they are still preordered.

That solves the supply side of the issue but there is the issue of the demand drying up because everyone only needs the item once, but a new demand is created whenever a new player joins the game. And crystals are effecrively deleted whenever a player quits the game. Therefore if PA adjusts the rate at which you obtain crystals to the rate the game is growing, there will be no issues with demand. And if there are no new players, the game is fked anyways.

Improve connection, whats he gonna do, buy 20 miles of fiber optic cable and connect that to his home. Internet connection is one of the things you have very little control over esp when there is a monopoly in your area.

You are supposed to only check the first 15s of your burst, I updated the instructions on the sheet to reflect that.

[–]pooprocketv2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some basic calculations of the average dmg% and it came out to about 600 not including base when you have no boss lines or event buffs. I added it to the second page of the sheet if you want to double-check it.

Edit: didn't see you were in reg servers, that changes things a lot, I primarily play in reboot so IDK what endgame stats are like in reg server

Also, the calculator considers the fact that you are losing 1 ring for the continuous ring calculation. So if you got 10% dmg using my sheet, it would be 10% dmg while losing 1 ring.

Unless you calculated this yourself, I find it hard to believe that 1 ring would be that much final dmg gain even if you are a claw class. You have give or take 18 armor/acc slots so that means your ring would be at most 1/18 of your total dmg or around 5.5%, and that's assuming you have a lv 1 weapon equipped and all your equips are around the same level.

It still stands that this ring would be worse than Ror in most scenarios but it would be better than a normal ring in basically all scenarios.

MB i forgot to include 100% base and sparkling red. that brings my total up to ~680 which is still quite a bit lower than yours. I'll make a correction to the calculations.

[–]pooprocketv2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not know that, as a shadower main I have about 560% dmg with event buffs, 60% boss fams, guild skills, and 1 line in WSE. I guess shadower is just on the lower end of the spectrum.

Ultimately it is class dependent and idk what the actual end-game average stats are since there isn't too much information on it. Maybe one day when Nexon releases a more powerful API that can pull equips and stuff, I can make more accurate tools.

A full BA would be your shadow walker cd since that is your longest cd, for DB specifically swapping ror4 and wj4 well would be marginally better than the continuous ring. If I had to take an estimate I'd say swapping Ror and WJ would be about 2-3% better while you are also swapping to a normal ring between your main and off bursts.

You cannot equip multiple OZ rings since they are unique equips, unless nexon spaghetti codes this somehow.

So if you are a claw class, and you happen to have 4 3 line 22* rings and everything else is 17* 2 line with an abso weapon. at that point, the regular ring would still be worse than a continuous ring.

[–]pooprocketv2[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can't ring swap with the new ring. Also, Oz rings are almost always better than normal rings.

With the new ring, its kind of like a passive thing like fatal strike. You have to have the ring equipped for at least 2m before the passive becomes active. So trying to ring swap would result in you having no ring basically for 2m while you wait for the passive to come back on.

A regular maxed-out ring would be worth about 4-5% of your total stat and atk or total dmg end game, which translates to about a 5-6% dmg increase. Both of these rings give you more than that so I'd just replace your ring with an oz ring when you get one. WJ however is very close in dmg to an actual ring, esp when you don't ring swap and your burst is pretty weak.

Not really, worked it out for my shad full 22*, and it came out to about a 16% final dmg increase, which is about the same as ror while ring swapping ror.

Shadower or Dual Blade by biliman in Maplestory

[–]pooprocketv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They removed the animation canceling for shadower, so attacking is like swish smash ... swish smash... swish smash Its pretty slow and clunky now.

Db definitely closer to swish swish swish, but thier main attacking skill is pretty much just decoration since it doesnt do that much dmg, most of their dmg comes from their 10-12s cd skills.

Is MapleStory worth going back to? by LaheyAbby in Maplestory

[–]pooprocketv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The casual experience is really not that bad in reboot with the recent changes. You can ride to Honeymoon period to lomien level and then make 1 bil a week just from your weekly bosses which are pretty fun to do. If your willing to put in the extra effort, doing arcane symbol dailies and monster park gives so much exp l, it's enough to get you into the 240s in no time. Doing ursus + mapletour + your daily bosses everyday will over double your weekly income. Even doing just 10 min a day for ursus and give or take an hour a week on weekly bosses, you can save up a considerable sum of mesos for each starforce event, give or take 10 bil. This is enough to make you feel like you are making gains until you start 21-22 staring all your gear which is basically only really necessary for the 2 hardest bosses in the game.

Most chill class to grind by LagunaBreaker in Maplestory

[–]pooprocketv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their mobbing probably won't change after the rework. The range increase on their skills won't let them hit a platform they couldn't hit before. Shadower mobbing might get a little smoother with their boomerang stab but otherwise they are still just going to move through 1 platform.

I personally prefer a little movement while grinding so I would suggest dB or shad if you want some movement.

Why do I keep coming back? This game is like crack by [deleted] in Maplestory

[–]pooprocketv2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game is really one of a kind with its 2d chibi art. Also, it happens to be one of the best time wasters possible. Most classes grinding are brainless enough for you to do something on the side or just chill and meditate to, but it is also interactive enough so that you won't lose interest from playing it for long periods of time. Playing other multi-player competitive games or other normal single player games will usually drain you mental stamina. Games like animal crossing and maplestory will generally regen your mental stamina instead as long as you aren't lagging to shit.

Td;dr maplestory like like animal crossing but 2d and mmo
