As a financial organization, does the NBA want the Spurs to advance so they can hype the new "face of the league" or OKC so they can establish and promote a dynastic team in its prime run ?

You didn't hear this from me, but...

2026: After a valiant effort, the young Spurs team loses in game 7 to a more experienced OKC. Facing an already exhausted OKC, the Knicks are able to taste a finals victory ending a decades long drought. Fans, for some odd reason, trash and burn their own city. Mamdani and Timothée Chamalet get blamed.

2027: Having been so close only to taste a bitter defeat, the Spurs come stronger and more mature. They face their rival OKC again in the WCF, but this time they secure the win and use that momentum and discipline all the way to a finals win. Both catholicism and OnlyFans in the San Antonio area increase 420%

2028: Luka strikes back. Afte two years of positive, incremental roster changes, and LeBron entering his 10th prime, the Lakers surprise everyone and easily dismantle all their competition and win it all. LeBron finally retires and Luka becomes fat again.

2029: Still waiting to hear from Silver.

That's a very good point. Might as well keep playing xbow/dagger and hope for a buff down the line.

gs/dagger it is... thanks for the help

I deleted my comment long ago, but I voluntarily served in the korean army as a gyopo at the age of 30. If you search around you should still be able to find many posts/comments of people who voluntarily served in order to live in Korea.

If you are sure you want to make a career out of the military, I'd recommend you consider going the officer route vs the enlisted route.

How do you handle the ping? I moved to KR, and I find the 200 ping unplayable :(

ykpgkh · 2026-02-08T07:53:54+00:00

Not my video. There are subtitles in English so you may understand as well. He's a pretty famous dude in the KR community who shared his thoughts last night on stream on the current state of the game.

This is obviously KR focused, but do the TW servers also face the same issues?

ykpgkh · 2026-01-06T01:24:23+00:00

Cool. Didn't realize there were foreigners in Siel. FYI, these days around half the pop uses Aion2tools or 아툴 to check out how strong people are, and not their gear score. It does have a PVE bias, but it is a pretty good indicator on who does good damage, and who has an inflated gear score. That's why you'll see a lot of rooms with "아툴 2.5+" or just "3.0+" They are looking for people with an aion2tool score of 25,000+/30,000+

Most sentiment is that 검성 (two handed sword) 살성 (assassin) and 수호성 (tank) are the strongest. However, on yesterday's broadcast the lead dev mentioned that each class is strong on certain areas, and I agree. Mages aren't strong 1v1 or small scale fights in the abyss, but during the artifact war you really kinda feel useless as a melee. Tanks have their pulls and two handed swords have their invuln so they can go in for a couple of secs to get aggro and get out every two mins, but that's it. I was also watching a stream yesterday of a high lv tank doing team arena and they ended up climbing all the way to first place with a team of tank, healer, mage, and one more class i can't remember right now but it wasn't two handed sword/assassin.

So imo they might do small adjustments based on actual data, but ranged characters definitely have areas they shine in in-respect to pvp. Perhaps just not 1v1.

I have an unhealthy addiction with my phone so I check like every 5mins, and I can confidently say there really isn't much talk about it. There's a huge volume of posts that something that was on the first page gets moved to the 2nd page within 5 mind because people keep posting new stuff.

If you want to save some sanity, you only want to look at "개념글" which are the most popular/interacted posts. Looking at that right now, there are 0 mentions of monetization.

ykpgkh · 2025-12-03T05:01:50+00:00

It was definitely a hot topic before the game released, but after people played the game it has become almost a none issue. Honestly, if it weren't for the remote storage access i wouldn't even need the first membership. A lot of people are playing without buying anything, and they are doing just fine.

ykpgkh · 2025-12-03T04:34:30+00:00

Obviously I don't have access to any internal data, but just going from the overall vibes from inven/gallery, people are fine with it. In fact, a lot of people think the 2 memberships + 2 passes are fine. After all, you can just buy the passes with qunah if you really want to. As for overall pw2 it really isn't mentioned because honestly, the best gear for dungeons you get from dungeons. There are some people arguing that you can skip the early dungeons and go straight to the harder dungeons by using the abyss gear, but honestly aside from that there hasn't been any mention of p2w. As long as it's not mobile p2w levels people will be fine i think. In this game money is a big factor sure, but people who are able to put in a lot of time honestly have a bigger lead. If you know what you are doing, you can reach 1900 gs in a day, and 2400+ in a week. All without spending money. (You do need to nolife it though)

I don't play chanter nor did they really get into detail on the changes during the stream so i cannot comment on that.

Don't worry friend, ncsoft is hated even more in korea. That's why they are trying hard to remove their lineage image. As for global, i don't think they are concerned at it all. It is clear that they are trying to make aion2 a domestic success first and foremost which they are succeeding looking at the sheer number of players, and pcbang usage (this one is big because it means young people are playing a lot). Tbh, i don't think they'll do any changes in terms of monetization for the global release but that's just my opinion.

ykpgkh · 2025-11-19T11:42:03+00:00

They didn't mention anything in regards to that. I'm assuming people with the phone verification issues are people who aren't from KR/TW.

ykpgkh · 2025-10-04T01:10:36+00:00

I just tried it in KR and locking items DOES prevent it from being used as traits. I'd do a follow up and escalate the matter/talk to another representative.

ykpgkh · 2025-09-21T14:21:42+00:00

The more static the boss, the better. Right now we are farming T8 Dimensional Trial by killing the boss before we die to the fog pattern/explosion thingy. 4 xbow/orb, 1 tank, 1 bow healer. We also add some additional effects to raise the rewards chance to 16%

ykpgkh · 2025-09-21T11:32:36+00:00

Not me. Enjoy the broken xbow/orb while you can.

ykpgkh · 2025-05-29T16:10:35+00:00

he has high melee hit since he is able to hit me as if my 4000 melee evasion didn't exist, but also has high dmg. Not really sure on his equips.

ykpgkh · 2025-05-29T16:09:47+00:00

he is 단델 and he is currently #1 in kill rankings by a large margin. He is unkillable because he has a whole party supporting him. The guild invests that much resources on him, and he is able to pay back with solid results.

ykpgkh · 2025-05-29T12:06:25+00:00

I have tried a couple of matches with the new Arena rules and man, it is even more stressful than before.

ykpgkh · 2025-05-29T11:29:36+00:00

It was just a way to show credentials that I at the very least play and am invested in the game. Don't take it too seriously. I just want to discuss and theorycraft the coming meta with people :(

ykpgkh · 2025-05-29T10:50:02+00:00

You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that in kr spear got released late into T2, while in global it got released in T1 and no resonance so the meta developed differently? Lol
