Yeah that was confusing for me too and still makes zero sense.. There are a plethora of name changes just for the sake of name changes that are completely unnecessary.

I still think changing the name Lance Master to Glavier is one of the worst choices they could have made. Just like Holy Knight to Paladin seems complete unneeded.
The ONLY name changed that made sense was Hawkeye to Sharpshooter, due to possible copyright issues. The rest are totally fucking stupid.

WTF is up with the queues? I logged into a 12,300 player queue on Mari today and have been sitting in it for over 2 hours. Bots back in force?

Pretty much, Amazon is 100% retarded. The game didn't gain 200k new players in the last couple of weeks, nor is it growing again. You can see tons of videos of just how ass aids the bot situation is.


Don't worry though...

NA west is infested with bots, guess lots of buyers there? It's been shit for a while thus all the downtime and crashes on there. EUC seems fine(there's bots obviously, just not that many that we get queues or even busy status) and from what I hear even NA east isn't so bad, it's just NA west which is completely crawling with bots everywhere.

Why isn't there any T3 blue gear on the AH? I have to run chaos dungeon until I have a full set?

Garbage. Reading posts and apparently I could just be screwed for several resets until I get a pair of f’n t3 pants to drop.

There is some Aura of Resonance potion for compensation coming soon-ish, not sure when though, that lets you run more, but yeah it's how it is and it sucks. Some chars are done with the usual 2 runs but some take one or more days. My personal average out of 7 chars is 2days.

It's a really fucking weird change, since it barely slows down people(so it's terrible at that if that was the reason), but still is an annoyance constantly for people be it on their main or alts.

1370, that's just some weekly "chaos dungeon-like" thing that has a shop like anguished isle. Other than that no, no content, they cut everything out because they didn't want ppl to farm relic accessories.

Man, 89 minutes to clear P2 on my paladin, after spending like 40mins in another shit party. Both mostly premades guild stuff, but real shitty players. Both had the infamous "grudge 1 gunslinger who can't dodge shit". There were a fair amount of 1390+ players with good stats and engravings in both though, but overall DPS was just hot garbage. Also a bunch of attacks just one shot me at 1375 which makes it pretty tense. Oh well it's done, hopefully more luck next week.

LM also got to T3, have to do Punika now. Tempted to pay 2400g, but at the same time she needs the xp, kinda.

I would not skip Punika on any of my characters. It gives too much XP and you save a descent amount of gold not skipping it.

"WOW this new mount jumps far!"

/80% of my leaps stop one foot in front of my face by being micro clipped by terrain

That shit is annoying isnt it. Especially when i wasted a perfectly good double jump right into what seems a solid wall of air. :p

Reached 1415, got the 50greater leapstones from the pass and with the 170normal leapstones from chaos line I figured I'd throw some hones at my stuff and maybe get +1, and ended up getting lucky and getting +2(15 to 17) with some leapstones to spare even. Was planning on reaching it at the end of the week/next week so it's a bit early but it's nice. Dumped most of my solar mats in the process though so I'm gonna be rebuilding these over time I guess. Sadly the Una token didn't update, so I'm still getting the old gold value but well next week I'll get more so that's something. Might switch to really passive gameplay for the next few weeks until Valtan and go play something else with my spare time. I've already switched to rested chaos+rested guardians on alts but might just cut the guardians entirely on the 1340 chars, switch my main to rested guardian+normal chaos and just go like that. Should be able to cut it down to like an hour a day on average, plus a couple of hours on the weekends to clear abyss+argos on all my chars.

25 minutes to clear with the guild alt run this week. Running with non-retards makes life easier. :)

In so far as a quick update is concerned: We'll be doing Argos full clear on Thursday and Alt runs on Saturday (after the T2 alt runs). Target for the first week for the Argos alt run is P1 only. I've also received some interest from added support players for the main party, which has been amazing to see. The goal for the week is going to be focusing on players that have shown consistency for attendance and finalizing our Valtan roster. We'll thus be prioritizing invites to reflect that moving forward as we seem to fill the main run consistently.

If you are limited to a small time frame of hours to play, then botting is the only thing that makes sense.

After seeing people with 3 accounts, 20+ toons and always having not material or gold issue, it all made sense. They play 1 main account while having multiple bots running on a 2nd account to feed money and mats.

So I would log on and have only enough time enough to run 2 chaos, 2 guardian, 3 una on 2 toons and then log off.

Now I have a bot account that has 6 toons running and I get lucky with accessory drops ever once in awhile and now I have absolutely zero issues with gold or materials....but now I dont even want to play the game anymore.

Over half the people playing run bots and I see why.

This is probably sadly true, but if so there is zero reason to play this game.

These aren't the bots causing queues though. And over half is a massive exageration, although I guess botters will be more likely to think everyone else is also botting.

If anything it's understated not exaggerated. Amazon is pure aids about bots.
