>>1936232pretty sure she has a tripod that gives like 60%+ mana regen to party members for a long ass time, but they might have not checked builds and just picked the atk% speed for party next to it
hyper awakening is a god send for solo raid alts
>>1936232Valk gives the least MP regen among the supps. Same MP regen on the AP buffs as pally, which is less than Artist/Bard.Pally/Valk close the gap somewhat by having MP regen from their identity buff. However, Valk's identity uptime is the lowest of all supports according to current data. Possibly due to a combination of being a new class, not maxed leap karma, etc. Probably also by design too since she has a partial identity buff at 100% uptime.Or maybe you were unlucky enough to run into the 2-3% of supp Valks running the CD reduction tripod instead.>>1936863The tripod is the same as pally, it gives 50% MP regen AND 8% atk speed. People aren't choosing between one or the other. The other tripod that a very small percentage are using on Seraphic Leap is the CD reduction one.

what is this strike raid thing that were suppose to get next? in september/october? new 8man gold raid? and are we "suppose" to get act2 solo mode when that comes? is it like a filler raid/dungeon between act 3 and act 4?
>>1935983excuse me sirhhow 2 use this
>>1939851Just overwrite data4.lpk in the EFGame folder. Make sure you copy the original data4.lpk and paste in a safe place just in case you need it for some reason later.
>>1939513Most likely the ones in Voldis. So Voldis Neria, (adult) Zeherade, and Sartini for named NPCs.>>1939577It's a temporary 8man gold raid with 1 gate. The gold reward varies a bit based on luck but it replaces either Aegir HM or Brel NM for gold. Act 2 solo isn't even out in KR and probably won't be announced until maybe the next LOAON.It's basically a filler raid. The schedule made more sense in KR where it came out 2 months after act 3, ran for 3 months, then Act 4 released 2 months later.Apparently we're only getting 1 month of Strike raid and Act 4 before end of year. Plus our Strike raid is releasing 3 months after Act 3.

hmmmmmmmm, maybe i should push my slayer to 1690+ already after all, so i can buy the frog books for the guaranteed selector..... But then i lose mokoko on my 1660 artist and 1660 gs..... Honestly i feel like the mokoko leafs dont matter at 1660 anyways, i still get declined on those chars and i dont think the mokoko is helping me into parties at that point. I do think it has helped me get into brel nm and aegir hm on slayer though... sigh..dunno..>>1939920lmao indeed. doomposters never cease to amaze me>>1939897>It's a temporary 8man gold raid with 1 gate. The gold reward varies a bit based on luck but it replaces either Aegir HM or Brel NM for gold.oh damn, probably made super easy then. shame no act2 solo mode, would be awesome if i could start leap on my 1660s, no point going to 1670 cause everyone wants 1680 for brel nm and at that point people "expect" you to have some karma done, or they want 1300+combat power which is fucked without karma.Was tempted to push artist to 1680+ fast but idk anymore, seeing a lot of dps shortage on eu atleast at that ilvl
>>1939855thank you bwo
Valk seems just as shit and plays basically exactly the same as male paladin.

Going through the story now (instead of using the pass) and fucking hell, this is like XIV levels of bullshit lol.
>>1942142running story from scratch? oof yep, on new alts i made back in the day i used to knowledge transfer to north vern i think? then i would run story up until punika to save gold, it was cancer but used to just mute sound and watch shows on 2nd monitor while shift+g. Would never wanna do it again though, and especially not the pre north vern stuff. XIV msq was insanely more aids though haha, me and a friend had a duo lan years ago where we tried it and after like 2-3 days of playing 16 hours a day we pretty much stopped. Good luck legend!
>>1942142Yeah I went through the story on launch and have been a shift G / ESC enjoyer since. I have no idea what the current story is.
>>1940518hmm.... got 3 selectors already and i was thinking maybe i would get 5x grudge to get relic lvl1, but missing like 2480~ tokens to buy the frog selector..
I think I will use my Kurzan pass on a valk, just for the aesthetics.My actual main character is my sorceress, but she's still stuck in Punika and will probably never leave unless they do away with the honing system.
This game is fucking dead. I haven't seen a single fucking player.
>>1942885honestly you probably wont see any players when running story, earliest you might start seeing people in continents id guess punika, maybe a couple in elgacia and a few more in voldis, other then that everyone is in kurzan, which takes a long ass time to get to without powerpass
>>1942893Are there players to do end-game content? I'm quitting right now if not.
>>1942903yeah theres plenty, but everything under T4 content is completely dead, so gotta do solomode until you reach that, when you hit 1620, you do a quick dungeon a few times to get 1640 gear, which is when "endgame" starts. Was there a reason you didn't use the powerpasses we have? You're looking at probably atleast a month of story+grinding before you hit 1620
>>1942803>I think I will use my Kurzan pass on a valk, just for the aesthetics.if you're planning on going dps, just play slayer instead:)
Tempted to paypiggy for this, but which swimsuit is better? The first one is definitely more lewd but the second has a playfulness to it that I kind of like
>>1943215personally not too much of a fan of this years swimsuits, but id pick the first more lewd one
>>1942933I mean, Valk is a pretty solid dps class too. Everyone I knew that made a slayer ended up dropping her for various reasons. One thing is that she's a back attack class, which might be annoying for a sorc player. Going DPS valk would at least keep the non-positional playstyle.
>>1943460we can only hope that next year's swimsuit is about as thick as dental floss.
>>1943825Are there even skimpy swimsuit designs left that aren't just prism wear or urban wear but smaller? Only one I can think of is that square microbikini, like the cow print one from Vindictus.Vindictus (and Nikke recently) has shown that even Korean companies can go as far as reverse bunny suit covered only by pasties. So I guess there's that option when SG becomes desperate enough. They'd just have to make the pasties summer/beach themed.
>>1944604Honestly it's a shame there's no way to repack the upk files once you open them. We could have just edited one of the bikinis to be microscopic instead of waiting/hoping smilegate to do it.
>>1944604idk i still think they can cook, maybe not too much left on bikinis but they could start going down the lingerie route or collab skins with other games like so many do, nier 2b etc
>Made a valk with Kurzan power pass>Logged in and claimed a bunch of shit on her>One of the claim was the Kurzan power pass>Used it, took me to character select>Used it on my aeromancerDid I just cheat the system and get two free passes or is that just how it works?
>>1944744woah anon you got lucky, they definitely didn't give us 2 powerpass. Im jealous!
>>1944766I legit know nothing about the systems functions of this game, so idk if that's how it works or not.In other news, my valk does not know how to sit like a lady.
>>1944766Where's the next scene where they all have bloated, pregnant bellies?
How do I get my combat power up? I just started Karma but I've done everything up until Agir. https://uwuowo.mathi.moe/character/CE/Bignaturals
>>1945152idk too much about supp so cant say, but the one thing that stands out is elixirs. Should really fix 5 on your main stat pieces, 5/3 is way more better then 4/4
>>1945393Thanks. Are elixirs still cancer or can I reasonably get 5/5s now?
>>19454305/3 is fairly easy to get, 5/5 is doable but only go for it if you dont have other chars that need to get 40 set, they do thankfully give out some free event ones you can tap if you already used the main 5/3 box we got
>>1945152oh ye i just remembered, you're not suppose to have BOTH heavy armor and vital point hit, i think valkyrie is a pretty 'tanky' class so swap heavy armor with drops of ether, should give you like 80-90 more combat power alone
Maybe I could be your angle?
They should add Prokel ultimate in trixion so I can beat him up. He used to be good for learning new classes and de-rusting.
>>1946002reminds me of the fujo who made her specialist look like a shota
>>1946002Nice camera angle! You had the record button at right time
>>1946099indeed, prokel was really fun and good for learning new classes. shame they didnt add a boss like that in paradise/hell
did aegir hm early af yesterday and a guy just randomly went afk after g1, and since g2 is so fucking free im gigajailed, fuck off. Atleast let me finish it in solomode ffs
>finish Pleccia>You must get to 1520 now to go on an adventure in Voldis>Need to beat Brelshaza to get the new gear>Get my shit pushed in How do I stop being bad at this game?
>>1946348This raid system still allowing for jails is pretty bs. The game focuses on raiding as the primary content but puts so many restrictions on raiding at the same time.Got some free time and want to help fill in a prog/learning group? Better hope they fully clear before someone has to leave. Otherwise you'll be g2/3 jailed and probably miss out on some rewards for the week.Someone d/cs or leaves for whatever reason after g1? Prepare to spend hours finding a replacement if you find one at all.I'm hoping SG figures some shit out with the theme changing towards adventure/exploration and more horizontal focus. Find a way to prevent busser abuse and let us have gate resets or something. It's not a mystery why gatekeeping is so harsh when nobody wants to risk losing their weekly raid reward.Though with this director's track record so far, I don't see him doing a actual major rework of the raid system in the near future.
Watching the guide for Mordum G2, fight looks like aids
>>1947621its really not that bad, only when progging will you get to see the "aids" patterns, not really any difficult mechs its just getting used to the fight and not giving boss too many stacks>>1947426very well said. Now that bussing (hopefully?) has died down there really shouldn't be any reason for us to not be able to reset gateprogress, just let us choose when to "finalize" and send raid rewards. >Though with this director's track record so far, I don't see him doing a actual major rework of the raid system in the near futuredont know much about this director, but sounds unfortunate, im optimistic atleast about the adventure/horizontal focus
>>1947649bussing only died down a bit in the west cause of agskr still has public busses

What the fuck do I do with corrupted items? I can't destroy them, but they are duplicates that I already have.
>>1948491Might be able to vendor them? Not sure what you mean by corrupted though.
What's the best trade skill to invest in? One of the recent(ish) guides says it's Hunting but it looks like Ore is selling pretty well on the Auction House atm
>>1948585I just do logging, but prices for fusions have come down so you don't make as much anymore.
>>1948502Some items I received with the lvl60 pass.>captcha GGJGG
>>1949382if its old 'gear' that you got then idk, i bought north kurzan pass on an alt and got new +15 gear, my old +12 gear is just sitting in storage cant remove it anyhow. Other then gear, either you sell it to NPC, dismantle or drag it out of inventory to destroy it
i HATE the red line mech in act 3 gate1, fuck gook nigger devs for bringing that into normal mode
>>1949382If you post a screenshot of it; I can probably tell you what you can do with it
do fate embers not drop gold anymore or am i unlucky? i swear im only getting gold drops from blessed embers on my main, fate is either card xp, card pack or small honing chest?
>>1950086The entire month I had the blessing I got 1 blessed ember. I'd say you're already lucky. That said fate embers do drop gold, it's just not as common as the other shit.
>>1949653>>1949402
>>1950662Sell them to a merchant like the potion guy to get rid of them
>>1949653>>1949402>>1950662I also have gems that can't be destroyed, etc.
>>1950688I'll try this. I can't even recognize the NPCs yet.
>>1950774I just threw them away lol
You would have thought that they would have redone some of the old emotes by now. like half of them have facial expressions and half don't, it's stupid.
Anything tips or something I should be doing as a new player that is playing without the power pass? All the new player guides online assume that one uses it.
>>1950976 The early T3 content is really outdated and shit. If you want to go through the stuff without the powerpass I think you're going to get stuck around 1415ish item level. I think you'll have to get your own fusion materials so you'll have to use your farm to make bound ones, or get some gold from the adventure gold island and use that gold to maybe sell some white / green timber for a bit of gold.Honestly I'd just recommend playing until you get a feel for it; try out some classes and if you think you've found something fun use the pass on it when / if you get stuck.
>>1951000I don't mind using the power pass/Arkesia tour. I just want to play through the main story and some side content that interests me. I heard that using the pass makes some quests unavailable on alts, and the tour skips huge amount of side content.
>>1951008Yeah it does complete a lot of the story, if you want to do it yourself just keep following the main story. I'd try and hit the adventure islands when it's a gold island to get a bit of unbound gold so you can list things on the market, and work on some life skills. Most people seem to do logging these days as it's one of the fastest if you do it with 2 people. Sell whatever you can on the side to save up some gold for when you need it.Other than that hopefully you don't get stuck on an abyss dungeon step or something. I don't remember if there are any mandatory group dungeons on the way; if there are it might take a while to get a group for it since it's basically dead content. Once you get to solo mode raids it should be fine; it will just take a while.
>>1951011I'm only at like 48 level, so I don't have access to most of the stuff yet. As for lifeskilling, can I really earn anything when I don't have access to T3/T4 locations? Besides, I need those materials myself for the stronghold lol.
>>1951064 (me)I also forgot to mention that I feel like I'm playing a freshly released mom, because I literally got nothing from the game for new players because I didn't use power pass lmao.
>>1951064I believe you can get the normal white timber and the green timber. Both of those will sell since it's needed to make fusion material. It just wont make a ton.
>>1951008Another option is to just use the Powerpass/Arkesia Tour on your main server. Get your character set up to at least start building up some resources since most activities are timegated.Then set up a character in another server (can be within the same region) and go through the main story and side content at your own pace there. Story progress is not shared between servers.You receive 2 powerpasses during this period which is already enough to get started as a new player. It's no big deal to leave the character behind in the other server after finishing the story. If you end up taking too long to go through the story, you'll miss out on some of the time limited progression boosts.
Did anyone find the Ark in the end?
should i be buying mordum bonus boxes on my main?probably not? im at +20 advanced honing and think i got around 150 of the tempering material thingys, wont be doing +30 advanced honing for a while still... other then those the bonus tempering mats, doesnt really seem like good value? (assuming i dont buy mats from AH)
>>1951631if you want to push to 1720 for hm strike raid you might need to but otherwise no
are there any nice skins you can get for free or by doing some in game activities?
>>1952373unfortunately not really, there are a few purple skins you can buy easily with silver from vendors, they atleast look better then the "regular" gear that you're wearing. And sometimes they give out a free anniversary skin that is pretty dope, once a year or maybe twice since we're on kr catchup? otherwise you will have to pay around 20-25$ from shop or buy with ingame gold from market
>>1952449> once a year or maybe twice since we're on kr catchup?We already caught up to KR's anniversary, we're getting the same anniversary skins as KR's next one albeit a few months later. Even before that, AGS simply sold 3 of the anniversary skins from KR as regular sets. >>1952373There's a very limited selection of "nice" skins for free. There's the skinsmith, rapport shop, and cookie merchant I can think of for free skins. Gold can be used to buy premium skins off other players if you consider that to be an in-game activity.Otherwise, free good skins generally come from random limited time gifts. Anniversary skin every February as mentioned. Right now players get a legendary skin set of their choice for free. I think it was last year where we got a summer skin set for free.
Distinct lack of specialist butts in here.
Wind Fury or Drizzle? Decisions, decisions...
>>1952922good question. I would say drizzle aero just cause it seems OP in damage lately, but i never played either. Just from what ive seen on dps meters
>>1952922idk whats better overall but windfury is really fun to play
>>1951083Oh yeah, just noticed that I can't sell stuff on the market until I get to 1375 or something. I guess I will stock up on this stuff and sell later.>>1951217I'm just gonna play at my own pace. It's not like I would ever catch up

How is Valkyrie support doing?
>>1947673thisand it hasn't died down, it just moved underground, 99% of passworded parties are bus parties and there are plenty of themall that the ban on bus advertising did is that it pushed a ton of people to join busing discords, making it more convenient to find a bus so overall it made the "problem" worse
>>1944604Some lowleg panties would be nice, ones that go just above the clitty and show off even more asscrack. Something like picrel but maybe even smaller.
i havent played since that vampire raid came out, is this game worth returning to? do I have to play alts still?
>>1954181Seems completely fine as a supp. The biggest issue we heard from KR was identity uptime. Either the minor balance changes fixed it or it wasn't an issue in the first place. I get very comparable identity uptime to my pally, the 100% uptime partial identity probably makes up for it.My only complaint with supp Valk is that stagger seems low overall and is loaded onto 2 long cd skills that's used off CD for meter. >>1954352The people that want to take a bus were going to find one regardless. If busing Discords were more convenient then bussers would've pushed for them even before the ban. There's a reason they kept trying to advertise after the ban with the pw title workaround.I'd say it's better that new players can open up party finder and not even find out what a bus is. They'd first have to find out that bussing service exists in this game then search around for the Discord. And in any case, it's simply better to have less junk in the party finder. I see a lot fewer password "hw 1-2" lobbies now than bus lobbies before.

dead game
i came back to the game 2 days ago and i'm having fun
>>1954582you can only shrink so much before you disappear
>>1954518sure, just focus everything on juicing 1 character for group content and if u want more characters just do soloraids on them, its what i do and its comfy af.
>>1954518I mainly play one character. I have some alts I do solo raids with if i feel like it. The only real issue I have with one high level character is it's hard to improve at the raids because you can only do it once a week. They still die so it's whatever but would be nice if I could run it more to improve.
>>1954797Tell that to PSO2. It has like 400 players but still endures.

It has reclear&learning lobbies for all raids every week. I got my 5th mordum clear this week and the teacher&group was so awesome. Whole vibe was that if we werent comfortable with any mechs or patterns we could restart whenever we wanted to practice it more, did g1-g2 on saturday and g3 on sunday. Then asked us if we wanted to sign up for a reclear again next week and everyone agreed. Was superchill and you dont feel bad at all if you "fuck" up a couple times on any mechs or patterns.

>>1956481Reddit users? There's a bunch of gigawhales that don't post on the subreddit. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more whales that mainly use Discord instead when talking about the game. You're just not going to see them because they would be spread across various private servers.
>>1956913As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at the game and realize there's nothing left.
>nerf paradise for the rest of joe schmoes that just want to push alts>add this bait lottery ticket to get suckers roped playing 24 garbage alts a weeklmao came back to this garbage a few months ago and its joeover for me
>>1957335what is this?
>>1955313>>1956040i want to be inside both
First attempt :)safe to say, i won't be using more hell keys on altars lol
>>1957569just dont get hit bro
>>1957569I read that the elemental keys basically start at floor 50. So even if you jump and land on floor 1 and die, if you exit and take the loot it's as if you had made it to floor 51. So it's not that bad.
i'm at 1655 after 5 days of playing with south kurzan powerpass, when is the big wall coming that will slower my progress, 1660 or 1680?
>>1958002you will pretty soon start to get shardgated, if you used the 'main' express event we got in july i think you can keep going to 1680 pretty steadily, after that is when its gonna slow down drastically
>>1958019alright, i also would like to know when is the best time to start advance honing from +0 to +10, i heard it's anywhere between 1660 to 1670, is it true?
>>1958027yeah at 1660 is when most people recommend to do adv hone to +10, then you do avd hone 11-20 at 1680 or 1690. i did it at 1680 to get to 1690. If its your main it doesnt matter too much since you want to get minimum +20 advanced honing done eventually anyways
>>1958041yeah it's my new main since i just came back to the game and everything seems much easier and less stressful thanks to solo mode, cheers mate
i think i should upgrade my accessories? almost 1700 on main, predator slayer. Been using the one from main express we got but idk wtf to look for, single high with low wouldnt be better then my current one correct?
>>1958290I just finished replacing my event ones with single high ones. They all had 1400+ more main stat so that plus the higher roll on the % rolls is better than the event ones.
>>1958389ooh, forgot about the main stat rolls. Should be worth anyways then, and single high isnt that expensive nowadays probably?
I think they need to do something about gathering. You can blow through 10000 life energy in a few minutes logging with a buddy, whereas it takes like 30mins to do the same if you're fishing.
https://youtu.be/KsoNV2iMbf0?si=mV-v9RiBljxnx454we're so back
>>1958689Love these little guys
>>1958578I think it's fair for fishing to be comparatively slow. It has the advantage of not needing to move between nodes and no competition with other players. Though it'd probably be fine with a buff bringing the energy consumption rate a bit closer to the other skills, bots don't care about that anyways.Logging is just an OP trade skill, it burns energy much faster than every other skill too. I guess the tradeoff is that you do have to find a buddy which can be inconvenient at times. Especially as fusion prices go down and some people skip out on life skill again.
>Aqua wear pants are going for 15k nowGrab em while they're hot.
>>1960071i just did cause they go well with almost any top
>>1957569wtf is this, did they change the way the keys work? I've just been collecting mine to run them all towards the end of the season, am I bricked? fuuuuck
can anoyone post pics of front/back of prism set on specialist please? I need to make a decision...
>>1960467looks like shite for that price
>>1959595>not even in T4>valid opinion on the gamePick one.
>>1960480i have a box saved already mrwa
>>1960461Old keys are not changed.
>>1960461you can still use the keys you saved like before, but they diluted the reward pool with useless 'legacy' chests now, so getting gold/fusions/free tap chests are much rareoccassionally in hell you will find altars that you can use keys on, that can transform into frost/flame hell keys you see in that webm, its rng to get altar, rng if key is upgraded/downgraded and then its 50/50 rng every jump in that new hell shit if you die or not. not sure on exact rewards from that new shit but you can get a lot of bound relic books and bound tier8 gems
>>1960467can't you just preview it? if box doesnt let you do it, check market skins
>>1960781Dont have a specialist slot atm on my account
>>1960781Yes, it's easier now than ever with the skin codex. No need to even search market/boxes.>>1960833Make a char on any other server/region, there's no way you filled all those slots. Choose a sub-class, skip prologue, and now you have access to skin codex. Heck, you don't even need to that if you don't mind previewing on the default specialist model. Literally just switch the category to specialist on the top right and the preview will show it.
>>1960781show front pic, need to fap to it
>>1960864thanks, i ddnt know that was a thing
>>1960941
>>1961133
>>1961134
>>1961140
that's more like it
>>1961133thanks
>>1935983Link is dead </3, I need my uncensored ayayas
>>1961434https://gofile.io/d/x96BVYUploaded a copy of it. I'm not the original guy so if it breaks I can't provide a fixed one.
damn at 1660 you are actually running out of shards at the lighting speed
>>1960941Upload the cum tribute to erome
>>1961833yeah its retarded, existing players that never took breaks are swimming in shards but new&returning players get fucked. Definitely feels like they want you to pay up. I dont mind it, will never give in to fomo.
>uses the second power pass>stuck at 1600 after spending 30k gold
>>1963142>getting stuck in a P2W gamelil'bro that's quite literally the game's design.
>>1935970I dont play this shit ass game, I am just here to comment that if the game was playable as that goofy fairy creature they would make millions from me.
>>1964831cool paws is this tera or b&s
https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/releases/rimeria-besiegedwhat the fuck is this shit
does this game have actual gameplay or is it just little girls in bikinis?
>>1965542The (combat) gameplay is the reason most people even stick to this game. The playerbase pushes through all the grinding / P2W / RNG bullshit to get to the gameplay. At the end of the day, the game's combat is pretty fun and raids are cool to do at least once. If you enjoy the combat/raids in this game, nothing else on the market really matches it. It's a common thing mentioned even by most people that quit the game.And I say this as an active player from day 1. If another game with comparable combat showed up as a buy-to-play game, I'd probably drop LOA pretty quickly. That is unless the devs heavily tone down on the constant grinding and RNG systems. (extremely unlikely)
>>1965542It's pretty much the only thing this game has. The gameplay is fun, almost everything else fucking sucks.
>>1965542it has BOTH
>>1964831fuck i thought i was the oldest nigga in this general
>>1935970Is there a list of which raids are okay to apply blind without exp?I'm at 1670 now and only did solo stuff so far
>>1965900The only new raid you'd have access to outside solo mode is Act 2 Brel. Which isn't hard at all but going in blind there are a handful of mechs that might fuck over other people if you don't know what to do. That said if you have the mokoko icon they should probably assume you don't know what you're doing.
Is there a download for the censored no armors? They are ugly af
are these maintenances always this long? 8 hours is fucking insane for a weekly patch
>>1966004So only exact 1 raid from tier 4 is semi blind friendly? Dang.
>>1965900>>1966206Behemoth (epic raid, 16 man) is super easy, it's impossible to wipe and occassional deaths are forgiving with 8 resurrects
>>1966206>>1966222Oh yeah, I forgot about Behemoth. That just has one mech that doesn't matter if you fail.
Can't even JO to my specialist now, the west has fallen
>>1966347What? Uncensor patch + bend over emote = jerking off to my specialist has never been this easy
Not sure if the strike raid is worth it at 1680, chance to get less gold
>>1966540I was talking about the maintenance
So retarded how we can't just change hairstyles along with our outfits.
iiiiiii think im taking a pause again, havent played too much these last days.. Was a fun 2~ months though! got main to 1695 and 3chars to T4, might come back when next solo raid releases or any other big updates. Enjoying some TFD for now, another good waifu collector game with even hotter skins uwu. Love you /lag/ anons<3
>Did strike raid>Got the minimum rewardFuck this shit
>>1935978>>1935982>>1936127kek omega zased
>>1966684Yeah every skin that was censored by AGS is now missing textures I think they forgot to put them in the game, actual clown company (you can fix it by downloading the gofile data4 )
>>1967808I'm expecting more bugs on update day from this point on unless SG/AGS improves on their patching process. It was already bad enough with SG having to mix the stuff they port over and West exclusive differences. Now we're getting CN exclusive changes thrown in.TBF to AGS, I'm pretty sure they don't actually have any devs on staff to code/modify things for them. It's up to the people at SG to patch things and AGS only does QC at most.
>>1967612TFD's fun until you get to the end and realise Serena is the only viable descendant. Make sure you build her and Ines and just fuck the other ones off.
>>1967612>>1968021korea needs to stop messing around and make venus vacation competitor. they make better 3d gooner chars
>>1968021yeee i focused on getting serena pretty fast when i started it again, almost have her fully juiced up. im sad i missed out on the gooner summer skins. getting ines next then eventually ultimate luna, which looks superhot and fun
>>1968186>>1968021Everyone keeps saying TFD is dead, but that game still has an active general and we don't.
>>1968709I dunno if you've noticed this yet but the activity of a general is tied almost exclusively to its waifuability, which is why FF14 is the fastest moving general along with all the gacha trash. TFD has a lot less players than Lost Ark, and it definitely has worse gameplay, but the waifu game is a lot better. LA's waifu game isn't great; it's unreal 3 for starters and really limiting in how you can pose and snap pictures of your waifus. The only real thing it has going for it in that regard is the lolis.
>>1968719There are plenty of enduring generals that have zero waifus, like Total War. And Lost Ark has top tier gooner material. Admittedly you're right about the base tools not being very good for making unique or better angled pictures, but that's also true for some of the others.
>>1968719motherfucking pso2 still has a general
>>1968725>Lost Ark has top tier gooner materialI wouldn't call it top tier at all. TFD is basically photorealistic, and other games are being propped up big time by mods (like MH, FF14, Skyrim etc..). There's no modding scene for LA, which is a shame because it would have been nice to get some microbikinis or really depraved slutmogs.
I wanna play this game but I don't wanna grind. If I whore myself with some erp, will I get free xp?
>>1969531No
should i try to reroll hp with tickets or just upgrade it the way it is?
>>1969732Eh. I'd just use whatever until 1680 and take bracelet boxes from paradise. I've made a few decent ones so far that way.
>>1969732only use tickets on potential 5 linersthis bracelet has no damage lines, not worth to use tickets
>>1970076isn't it guaranteed to be a 5 liner? i never upgraded bracelets to higher rank since i'm at 1670 so idk
>>1967612same sissy. I got to swap main and got to 1660 but I have nothing left to do but grind solo raids which got old really fast. Competing for MVP was pretty fun back before I quit but party finder on my current state seems impossible or straight up hell. Maybe I'll come back again after a year when there are 5 or so additional solo raids and msqs.
>>1970125it is but there are no damage lines on it
holy fucking graveyard
>>1972550i kept telling everyone a raidnigger game doesnt sustain itselfthese idiots never listen
Without posting some lame ass lost virtual fashion model reject tell me why this should exist
>>1973915see >>1936127basically, the game has run its courseit was fun while it lasted but it's just a rotting corpse now and we're just here waiting for the corpse to get buried
>>1974217I think I will bump this thread just to make you mad
>>1974643nice one mazed troonie! make sure to bump when EoS is announced too!
>>1974799You are so upset lol. Is funny to me
>>1974929>I-I'm not mad!!! N-Not at all! REEEEEEEE
>>1974217idk why the doomposting there are hundred of multiplayer with much smaller playerbase ( even TFD has like 40-50% of LOA playerbase)
>>1976394Mental illness. Simple as that. This game was really popular at its peak, still holding the 5th place for peak concurrent Steam player count. Which ended up drawing in some people that just cannot let the game go long after they stopped playing.
>>1976394>>1976604zoomers are obsessed with metrics, they can't enjoy a game properly if it isn't popular
i just tapped 5 pieces of gear to 1680 in like 10 tries combined lol
>>1977109literally no one cares mazed retard lol
played the game again today
>>1978597>>1978587
>>1978597what'd you do
why does that specialist thot not post anymore
>>1978656Which 1?
>>1978702the pink one
>>1978716I think he's taking a break >>1967612
Can I play as the fairy in op
>>1979160no
>>1935970um...shartsissies? I thought fem pally and paradise were supposed to save the game? why are we falling off a cliff again? why did they get away with milking more money out of you again?
post specialist front and butt
>>1980349>From 1,300,000 to 13k players in the span of 3 years>literally 99% of the playerbase has fucked off>those clown niggers (specially that ugly cunt rox) still have a job at amazon gamesLMAO I wish I could fail upwards like these useless brainless niggers, collapsing the biggest MMO launch of the last 15 years and still having a job KEK talk about a life without any sort of consequences
Is there a way to still get the Ren outfit in game? I saw some people wearin It buy i cant find It anywhere
At least we're doing better than Dune Awakening.

>>1982387I never realised Pepe the frog was used outside of the west.
>>1981464It was an Ark Pass skin so there's no way to obtain it atm. We don't currently know if AGS has any plans to rerun those skins.
>>1980349Half of that is bots
>>1982786Thanks

>>1987754HOW CAN THOSE 3 NIGGERS STILL HAVE A JOB LMAO
kmmos are dying, good fucking riddancethis place too, we are down to 1 post a day
Can antone bring me to strike raid next week pleasr? The last 2 raids were hell in pfe
>>1993297nothis is what a raidnigger game is likeget with the program or quit like us
Does the blonde twin tail specialist still play, damn those webms were fucking sexy
>>1980349is this unironically the biggest falloff in gaming history? i don't think any game has ever seen that kind of success to then fail so hard
>gender is tied to class subclasses
>>1996314welcome to korean mmo
>>1995938it's even worse now they literally hit a new low (11k)LITERALLY 99% of players quithopefully the remaining retards here wake up to reality before it's too late
>>1995938This game definitely could have made better decisions to retain a lot more players by this point. IMO though, a majority of these players in the first months were never going to stick around no matter what. It was heavily marketed and F2P, a lot of people gave it a shot even if they had normally had no interest in playing MMOs in the long term.Now a bunch of people (including someone here) keep referencing the 1.3m peak figure as if the game ever had the potential to maintain that. The steamchart monthly number already dipped to 900k for Feb 2022, even before Argos came out. Then it dropped to 350k by June, around Vykas release. This is closer to the actual playerbase that would enjoy this type of game considering a similar amount played around Brel release.It's also funny how the LOA doomers were talking non-stop about half the playercount being bots but also that this game fumbled one of the biggest launch in Steam history. Which btw is another reason the peak playercount for this game can't quite be compared to other games. Some games like Elden Ring and MH Wilds had a lower peak but there also wasn't anybody spinning up bot farms for them. I'm not pretending this game didn't fall off hard, most of my friends that played at launch already quit for a while now. But this 1.3m peak playercount shit is already way overdone.
>>1996707probably 60-65% of that 1.3m was bots, if not more. I remember how infested the game was with the bot roaches. Ive never seen anything like it.
some outdated toolsgithub.com/leanleon93/LpkTool
>>1995854Why did you quit anon?
*pssshhhhhhh*
>>1998463look, another dead game
even botters are losing interestthats the biggest sign you know the game is dead
>>2001875botters got fucked with paradise rewards making their gold less valueable
How do people sell gold nowadays? I quit few months ago and I wanna login now to sell all my gold. How do people do it now with gold caps on items and trust system? Do they mail fusion mats or gems, or just mail gold directly?
