What are some common misconceptions other players have about vindy gameplay?
An extra core(quick battle) only drops from full 6-8 player raids. It does not drop from 4-man maps like Ben Chenner.
Sounds like the 4 man runs for that is broken then. It works fine on KR. If it's able to be turned on for those type of runs then it is supposed to work.(less)
Strange, does KR get +1 core for 4 man quick battle missions? Because in NA, quick battle doesnt say that you get +1 core for 4 man maps, nor do you get +1 core.
Yea it will be, although nobody will be able to regear quickly anyway since I highly doubt we will get mats in seal shop on release (or for months afterwards) and everyone will be hoarding mats for themselves, their friends and their guild.
Would also depend on the stat difference between level 95 and 90 armor. If theres going to be like, a 3k DEF difference, then you are pretty much forced to upgrade to level 95 armor at some point.
And this basically comes back to the point I was making earlier. There should be a way to just upgrade our end-game gear. Plenty of players have spent a lot of time, gold and ressources into making their stats what they are and adding(pure example) level 100 in the near future will throw all that out the window(armour, weapon wise) if as you mentioned, base stats are greatly increased compared to 90. Nobody wants to be left behind and those who aren't as well off, those with purple 90 armour will be struggling to re-gear for dullahan or they'll have to settle to getting carried.(less)
Level 95 is definately a shameless cash grab, IIRC the director responsible for Dullahan was also the one responsible for the s2 release fiasco where most people had to buy gachapon boxes to get level 80 gear.
From a progression standpoint, a second level 90 plate set is dumb, so is adding level 95 gear right after abo. If they -really- wanted to make two themed level 90 sets (one for ben chenner, one for lochlann) then Dullahan should have been the second level 90 cloth set (it even looks like cloth). Not level 95.
Obviously nexon really wants to force people to upgrade gear to sell more runes, but the side effect is people rage quitting instead. Not that Nexon cares as long as they make a healthy profit each quarter.
As it is, newbies who just reached level 90 have a really tough time getting decent gear for s3. Now, keep in mind that most fully geared level 90s are currently refusing to help do s3 dailies/raids (because they dont have anything to gain), and newbies in free level 90 gear basically need to get carried in s2 and s3 content because they do no damage there. So its pretty tough for them to find decently geared level 90s to help them gear up and get scrolls/s3 mats.
When Dullahan is out, all the fully geared level 90s will be rushing level 95 content, they STILL wont be helping level 90 newbies to get scrolls. The newbies will get left in the dust unless they have friends who will help them gear up.
I have friends in level 70-80 gear who refuse to come back to the game precisely because they cannot imagine the amount of grinding they need to do to get a full level 90 enchanted set, which s3 content is balanced for. I also have friends in level 90 gear who rage quitted because they do not want to bother gearing up for level 95.
From my perspective, I was willing to spend money to enhance a level 90 weapon because I knew I would be using it for a long time, so the cost of the runes were spread out over a long period. But many players don't see it that way, especially when they think about spending runes on a level 90 weapon and having to spend runes to upgrade to a level 95 weapon later on.
In the past, a +10 weapon was roughly equal to a +12 weapon 10 levels lower, and the boss stats didnt have a huge jump per tier. People used to do drags in level 60 gear...now we are at the point where trying to do level 80 content with level 80 gear doesn't work and you need people in level 90 gear to carry. I know someone with +10 demains and free pirate gear, he doesn't even hit 16k ATT.
