Am I the only one who enjoys Kakul-Saydon?

And this is why alot of players with higher ping are quitting now. But Brelshasa actually has LESS moving objects that cause 1 shots than the clown. It’s not like we are talking about the hammers in the chest game are problems m8. :smiley:

Nowhere did I say I had 250ms. I have cleared the fight multiple times but it will never be an enjoyable encounter having to take into account that 1 shots moving objects are about 1 meter closer than they actually look on screen. Then add my character moving and you have another meter.

You are actually asking for something that is totally impossible. The difficulty of any online content is ALWAYS controlled by Ping. The average ping in NA/US is higher than the average ping in Korea so the content should be adjusted. This has to do with moving objects that can cause 1 shot. It will always be easier with lower MS. This can be adjusted by making the hitboxes smaller and also slowing down the movements of the objects. Another option is to example change 1 shot mechanics on blades into 50% loss in HP. This will not affect the difficulty of Marios as much since it can be practiced before and players get used to it. It does not affect the chess game at all since it has zero 1 shot mechanics other than the hammers that have about 2 sec of reaction time.

And It’s no coincidence that a big portion of the players that played from EU/NA quit playing on Russian servers when Clown was released. Because it was not an enjoyable encounter with high ping. :wink:

So I’m just gonna ask since you keep mentioning high ping and the average ping in the US/NA being higher then Korea… What is your average ping? Because I’m playing on my region’s servers and have some of the best ping in any game I play online.

Normal ping is about 80ms shown on screen for me. Actual ping test and traceroute test shows much more fluctuation when pinging the servers through command prompt. Around 100-135ms. So the ingame numbers are not always accurate to the actual MS.

from where are you playing in what region? speaking for NAE(which i believe server location is virginia) playing from Massachusetts area, i get steady 30 ping normally, 21 on good days and 50 on bad days

Playing from Norway on EU Central. Servers located in Germany. Europe west servers are in Ireland.

Damn, I never had experienced issue with servers in EU, but it sure does seem harsh.

That happens when you misread the mayhem bar and are like 1 pixel shy of clown… which I might’ve done once or twice when in a hurry.

I have a solution for you dear friend, just by my bus :slight_smile:

tbh, stop blame and git gud. So many player from different regions even play without getting killed by ping too often. I play from sweden and maybe 1/7 runs i get fucked by the bad servers or ping.

As a person who plays the game solo, I have to agree 100%. I remember buying a Vykas bus just so I can get to play it with decent players. The only lobbies worth anything seem to be title lobbies which are impossible to join if you play only 1-2 chars.

The party finder experience is truly some cancer.

I only hate g2. Why do we need to grief back attackers.

Purple guy in vykas was the same but that was only half the fight at least. Somewhat understandable

Hit master enjoyer, can’t relate B-)

why you should be the only one?
Gate1 is easy but so much fun! Gate2 is funny and yikes at the same time.
Gate3 is ok, if everyone knows there stuff and are chill its the a easy one.

Nope, lots of ppl just fomo a lot. You can only clear gate 1 and 2 if that’s all you can do. I did it like that for 2 weeks untill I familiarized more with all the attacks and stuff, showtime and bingo. The raid is already nerfed, there is no need to cry so much about it. You can only do g1 and g2 and slowly progress towards your lvl2 gear just fine…but you know how are some of these forum Andies. Talking about this raid broke their guild, friendships and stuff. How toxic were you guys? Or sensitive? I mean, c’mon…

Nah there are a lot of us who enjoy Kakul. We just don’t say anything because we are playing the game and already know what to expect out of raids. Its typically the forum freddys and casual andys who make a ton of forum posts complaining about everything on the game including clown.

So I call myself a “filthy horizontal casual”

And I think Kakul is the most fun I’ve had in this game raiding to date

The raid is all about memorization, then mechanics

Mechanics are important, but if you don’t memorize his basic patterns, the tells for the basic patterns, Marios and Iron Maiden patterns you’re gonna have a REALLY bad time (except for that stupid laser ONE DAY I WILL MASTER YOU)

Plus lots of shenanigans

Like when I was about to do Mario 4 and we would be home free but Kukul decided to do his “I’m on a ball and gonna fire you” directed at me… while I was a clown

Once I saw what he was doing it was a lot of “NO I’M RIGHT THERE PLEASE NO NO NO WHY” and then I lost my shit laughing when I died

Going in with a chill attitude definately make this easier and I wish people would just… chill

Might make the raid more fun as a whole

Plus I got my first piece of level 2 gear so I’m super excited

yes

I enjoy gate 1 and 2. Gate 3 is fun on paper, but actually playing it gets me tired. I would never want to do this with randoms, not because they are bad, but rather because the fun aspect of wiping over and over with friends is lost. Thats the only thing keeping me engaged with the raid: doing it with friends.

Hit boxes are larger than the models, the visuals are noisy for literally no reason, lots of 1shot mechs, failing almost anything is a reset. Its a frogger and mario simulator. Two games i hated. Idk man, maybe i just want to play lost ark instead of random stupid gimmics. Its a massive time sink for no good reason and when you win, you don’t even feel like it was about how well you performed as an individual. Most people who actually like clown do so because they want to think they’re superior in some way. It’s a pretty normal human thing. One of our less desirable traits.
