Do content and you'll be fine.At the time I left I had 6M in the bank and that was considered rich. Now I doubt I can buy anything haha.
I can't think of something that NEEDS reforges, if you're running with a huge party. The reforges make things quicker, simpler, and more efficient.If something requires reforges and specific equipment, it's bad design on purpose.
This is a sandbox, not a minmax generic MMO game.
The game as a whole has glaring balance issues already. Almost everything needs to be reworked at once rather than patched up and calling it a day, but it's unlikely that devkitty makes the changes needed due to the workload that likely needs.
Adapt. Literally just adapt. Trying to pound a square peg into a round hole is just torturing yourself. On top of that, these passive reduction force people to stop using the same tactic over and over and over. If you can just Final Hit (or, in more recent days, hailstorm) through literally the whole game, what's the point in any other skill? Well, if you think this is a sandbox, you'd be thinking this is how it should be. But, this isn't a sandbox.That is why we have monsters like the Geata and the Succubus Queen, who have passive defenses, and in the case of the Geata, against specific skills.
As someone that started from the bottom and hasn't spent more than $25 on this game to end up at a point where I'm farming my own kraken hearts, let me tell you that it just comes down to effort. Do you want to get stronger or not? That's the only question that matters. Now, personally, I'm looking forward to Perseus gear getting powercrept because I'm interested in seeing how they'll somehow make Perseus Knuckles irrelevant to a particular kind of content.They did rebalance defense and protection a few years back. So honestly, what's a little more power creep on top of the rest of the absurd level endgame players go to? It only makes the skillsets more viable for the midgame players, and smoothens the curve needed to become stronger.
Literally just raise your stats and rank everything to r1. You'll see how ridiculous the views on "end game" versus "midgame" versus "noob" are when you realize how important it is to actually have decent foundation on the character first before jumping straight into the belly of the beast. We all start at the same exact point when we begin our journey in this game. We get dealt the same hands. There's no other variable other than the decisions you make, the inherent randomness of RNG, and the knowledge you gain. That's it.Game progression is already pretty steep in the midgame, it's honestly not a loss.
This thread is just full of F.U.D to be honest. Gives me more reasons to become guildless again and for good this time.
You know what people thought was FUD? Was when people thought I was full of it concerning the reforge bots. Now they are trying to combat it. If people are possibly circumventing the system in any way for anything then it needs addressed so it doesn't happen or stops happening.
Never said that. See above quote.Foodfoodfood wrote: »I'm not sure why anything Bern has said leads you to believe that our guild has not been vetting new players.
No, but you are still asking Nexon to fix a problem you can fix on your own.In fact, we were successful in identifying the perpetrator and kicked his alt. Nexon can stop this from happening by very easily upping the requirement to make the guild war party be a Senior, Officer, or Leader. No one is asking that Nexon police the entire server for spies.
Have you considered that maybe most guilds just don't know about this? That most guilds just assume that only the Leader or Officer can make the party? Because that is precisely what most guild leaders I've talked to thought, no regular members have tried making the party in their guilds.
Show me a quote of my post that you are referring to and we can discuss this claim further. For now, no comment as I am sure I made no such claim.You say that you support helping people and sharing what the benefits are, but at the same time you say that guilds should be some kind of elitist club that excludes new, up and coming players.
I agree. And yet, let us not pretend as if people that are susceptible to such things cannot be recognized. Weak-willed individuals typically express traits that would befall them to bribery -- those traits include a high level of ambition combined with pathological selfishness and is tampered by greed and envy.The reality is that you can't police everyone in your guild, that enemy guilds can even bribe a less devote player to sabotage.
I never said to do any of this.If a guild decides to be exclusive, paranoid, and extremely unwilling to give no-name players a chance, THAT is the most alienating action a guild can make. I don't think people should be required to go through extensive background checks in a video game.
You seem to think that this is a functionality change that would only benefit the winning guild, but why is that? Wouldn't, logically, all guilds become safer by preventing new, junior members from making the guild war party?
I'm surprised this issue hasn't been discovered already by the overseas servers. But yeah, this definitely seems like a huge oversight to allow anyone to start the party and enter. Either only allow senior members to start the party or allow people to continue joining until the guild war starts (wouldn't be a perfect solution since the alt could steal one of the 20 spots, but it's better than nothing).
This might be something to add to the "suggestions" section of the forum.
