AGS is fucking dumb in this regard. You knew you were exploiting and that, across both games (New world and this), was obviously not how it was supposed to work. The fact is, people were probably thinking that at worse they got a slap on the wrist just like all the other exploits have shown to be the case. So if they are perma-banning the account, good riddance.

Aegir clears have gotten quick as predicted and I have my 3 piece now. The DPS increase is massive and feels great all around to play. I also got my Mokoko title this week and I think it could be a great event if they readjust what qualifies for the leaf.

Honing alts has been a pain point though. I went in knowing shards would take awhile to build up but I figured I'd have enough by now on the alts to get the Aegir normal and, short of crazy lucky honing, I'm not even close. I'll likely get my Artist there soon and once that's done it'll mark the rough point where I can push all my alts to Aegir normal which I'm looking forward to. Hoping that they don't disappoint with LOAon next month and announce a change to trans/elixirs for those struggling.

Main points from today's livestream (not much there however we weren't expected anything as they always save the major stuff for LOAON):

Based on Inven post: (정리본) 2024 11 07 On Air

  1. Never gonna let DPS meter on, by any chance. Please do not try decryption.
  2. The intention of Block (black list) was to avoid people from seeing unpleasant chat, not to avoid people from matchmaking. Not gonna apply block on matchmaking. But as far as some malignant users are using party invite, Loa Talk or posts to bully other players, so we're to improve it soon.
  3. New player LoS/Card problems - planning to increase card drop rates on daily/weekly contents.
  4. Ark passive is going to be applied on all tier(including T3) this winter. Details will be posted as soon as possible.
  5. 6th anniversary- Thanks for playing this game, our goal is to make a game that you can have experiences in a huge world, and to create a game that will be remembered as a fond reminiscence.
  6. Official artbook is going to be on sale tomorrow 2PM (KST). *Standard edition is about 40 USD and Special edicion is about 80 USD.
  7. Server transfer in KR starting at 20th Nov, for 3 wks. This service will be delivered occasionally.
  8. New class will be revealed this December, at Winter showcase. It's not alchemist.

So no mention of how awful the current event is
No mention of the pure aids gate keeping
No mention of removing the elixir and transcendence trash systems
and no mention of them abandoning solo mode

Pretty much if you aren't already a no lifer or credit card hero you might as well uninstall.

T3, specifically up to 1620 is now a part of the "new player experience" and they know the prior attempts to retain new players failed. They acknowledged it but did not give any details, so we'll have to wait for Winter LOA ON to see if they deal with that. Transcendence help* and solo Thaemine are effectively at the same level of problem so it should be a bundle deal when changes occur. Advanced honing is priced out of whack in T4 too and no one is going to stop at 1620 to do Echidna for months. So we want adjustments there or even solo Echidna but i doubt she would be a thing before 2026. Dark fires and scales/eyes are not the "awful" factor for those systems it's the sheer amount of gold and bullshit RNG on transc, it's the sheer amount of shards and breaths on adv honing that probably needs to be 5:1 reduction in T4.

Also there has to be at least one new class or gender swap coming.

For the event: this was a KR stream so they wouldn't comment on an NA exclusive event.
Gatekeeping also isn't a problem in KR -- the culture there is vastly different than ours and their reality can't be compared to ours. As an example, they have a far higher uptick of supports to DPS compared to us. The end result of that is people are more prone to take the person that applied as they aren't waiting long in the lobby for it to fill or only able to attract support if your group meets a certain threshold. It's also worth noting that they have a lot more individuals who play one roster characters, etc. It's just a different dynamic.

For your last two points, Malakriss covered it pretty well. We're expecting them to discuss the plans for this at LOAOn, albeit whether they take a non retarded path is anyone's guess.

I've officially moved my Slayer off my gold earners and replaced it with my ignite Paladin. The support life is absolutely hilariously easy in T4; you're treated like a God, your lobby's instantly fill, and it's pretty easy to be effective. This also allowed me to have full 7s on all my alts.

I cleared Aegir normal on my Artist for the first time this week and I was pleasantly surprised by how free it really is. It's made me adjust my roster plans to pushing more towards to 1660 as I think the gameplay loop of Aegir / Behemoth / Echidna is just too fun/efficient to pass up. Should hit 70 on all my gold earners this reset as well.

I mean neat they are adding some bullshit event and calling it a day... company is worthless since they won't address actual issues that are simple as shit.

Unfuck Omnium stars
Unfuck Island Souls
Unfuck Cooking aids collectables
Unfuck Transendence
Unfuck Elixir
Unfuck Advanced Honing
Unfuck Solo Mode

Cool they added some books what a bunch of lazy dicksuckers

Streamlines T1-3 so players get into T4 which is the current game and unfuck Ark passive so people actually use it when entering T4. I mean anyone with basic common sense and a fully functional frontal lobe can see that.

Also this bitch works for Amazon and can't even put on makeup and wipe the bags under her eyes. Shit is amateur hour.

She doesn't have blue hair. This makes her better than 99% of what other studios put out. You know it's true.

Watch the video and only look at her hands. Guess which invisible foods she is grasping at various points.

Anyways, it only makes sense to delay the roadmap if Winter LOA ON actually affects it. I.e. they are fixing a bunch of existing shit and need to export that to global / china ASAP. Should that not occur then they really are sunk.

That is true, I am just saying if you are representing multiple multi-billion dollar companies brands for a game they have ownership of it might be best to make yourself presentable and not phone it in looking like a dumpy whore.

It's well known that this LOA ON will have 3 major aspects;

1) A new class reveal
2) adjustments to the Ark Passive system to make it usable in T3
3) some changes to the T3 systems which make starting the game frustration.

The only question is whether they're going to go with a bandaid solution (e.g. gold cost reduction) or actually implement changes (e.g. knowledge transfer for trans, silver cost for elixirs, major reduction for advanced honing if in T4).

Apart from that, there's always one pleasant surprise. A lot of people think we're going to get two classes but I'm skeptical on that. I think it's more likely they provide an update on Kakul & Thaemine release will then be part of our roadmap (December for Brel, Feb & April for the next two raids). There's no sense providing our roadmap until this can be confirmed, which is why they're delaying it.

I can’t believe how retarded this company is -

* Put a bug in the game where if you visit someone on ignite servers stronghold you get a ton of mats

* Don’t investigate it when it’s reported in discord 2 days after patch

* It goes viral and a bunch of people get mats

* Ban them all for 2/4 weeks

* Don’t take any exploited material away from people then the 2w people get unbanned and are like wtf??? -> perma all the 4w people and ban the 2w people for another 2w

* Unban them, then mail them gold (in increments of 105k because you “took too much gold”, even in cases you didn’t take gold???

The worst part is I’m still playing the game. Fuck.
