  • is this game dying?

    EU was definitely hurt with all the additional region locking that came with the merge to NA management.

  • Do we no longer have a CM for this game?

    The one we had last wasn't ever really active and the GMs ended up doing it all. Now even they're MIA when it comes to streams for new content. Nothing for Miri, nothing for Aes. Whole state of Vindi is suspect.

  • 95 update has taken its toll on me.

    Actually I go to the gym four to five days a week, do spinning, write, travel a bit to visit family, and have fun in other ways. Sorry to disappoint you. I eat quite healthy as well. I don't have a single microwaveable meal in the house, everything has to be made relatively freshly. Good job on the assumptions though. I genuinely am sorry that your life is so sad that you try to make yourself feel better by attempting to bring someone else down online whose life you know nothing about. It is a new year, though, so here's hoping you turn yours around and do something worthwhile.

  • 95 update has taken its toll on me.

    One raid with a max of 2 runs per day with most runs taking 15+ minutes of zero enjoyment has burned me out. Unlike the 90 cap where we had four bosses to get weapon and armor essences from, and eventually two more that dropped worthwhile essences of their own, with Abom adding a 5th 90 weapon possibility, we have on source of "high value" items. Even though prices were similar for 90 essences for quite a while, there was a much larger source of them to overcome the piss poor RNG this game has. All 90 essences and shards having similar value also meant that grinding out a few drops could get you well on your way to what you wanted in a shorter period. That's just no longer true for 95 items.

    The amount of runs needed to gain enough 95 chunks--or worse still 90 shards and essences with their rock bottom prices--to buy 95 essences just for another try at +12 or 13 is out of sorts because of the current disparity. There are multiple raids still inbound from KR and none of them offer additional sources of 95 gear, which means the availability will continue to stay low, and because so many do want high enhance items, the few will continue to get bought up. The grind just isn't fun anymore; literally sick of looking at Dullahan. On top of everything else, we got 90 essences and shards in a relatively short time after release in the seal shop, which meant a guaranteed source of new essences for players even if RNG didn't favor them. That doesn't exist for 95, which means always going up against RNG to get essences and then more RNG when enhancing. Haven't even started messing with armor yet either, so that's just going to be another headache. I think I'm going to take a break from the game until they introduce the +13/14/15 decreased RNG stones, the whales whale in droves--if the whales are still around by then--and the price of higher enhance 95s drops.

    We had a server merge, but we still don't have enough players on NA to offset our horrid drop rates the way KR does. I've only really been back since Miri released and I haven't played nearly the amount that I used to but I've had enough.

    I almost voted Lann because he is needs the most attention. In the end though I voted for Miri because she is so over powered. As a result people start complaining that other characters are useless. Don't spend the next year attempting to pull everyone up to Miri's level. Drop Miri back down in-line with the other players.

    Miri already has a nerf in KR, but yes, at present she has insane output for the same stats in comparison to other chars. What I'd really like to see is everyone getting her mechanics of having no hit drag during high powered, continuous attacks.
