Honing buff out. People cry as predicted

The person was referring to the general honing buffs not stronghold honing buffs.

That is not true. A lot more people already quit the game because the buffs where not implemented to begin with. I can say this because my friend group and so many other left because of that same reason. I get it is an mmorpg you should grind it. Doesn’t mean you will actively torture your players in order for them to get to the spicy content that is 1370 and above. I will say it again SG KNOWS their game has a dead zone between 1302-1370. It just makes no sense to repeat what they already know is true.

Lying? No one was asking for the 1370 global buff and you know it. How am I the one lying? Are you telling me that if I search your post history I won’t find you asking for stronghold buff?

Dont push me too much:P

Those people would quit regardless later on. Brelshaza ain’t going to be a walk in the park to get to the later gates in hard mode for. If anything, it filters out the people who won’t be able to do the grind long term.

You cant ask for our version to get the same buffs.

Technically i’m not if you read all of what i said. I said arguments could be made for the global honing buffs to T1 and T2 but the T3 buffs would be too soon. The T1 and T2 buffs for me are more of a selfish thing and it’s mainly as i’m bored of having to deal with T1 and T2 content on alts.

The biggest issue is people will cry about anything and everything as they feel there entitled, they want to login spend 5 minutes and then go off and do other things and still expect to have everything that everyone else has.

That’s just completely incoherent. I’m sorry, but your reply to me makes 0 sense.

What are you talking about?

You said that the same people asking for 1460 stronghold honing buff are now complaining… which is a lie.

no, we specifically asked for a stronghold buff for our alts. And in every single thread people asking this were 1460 with alts waiting near 1370 for the buff.

I have no idea what OP is crying about now, it’s always something, but if anyone has a problem this stronghold buff requires 1460 those are completely different people not having 1460 yet because there is something they can’t reach yet while others do.

I don’t recall anyone wanting the global buff. The only mentions of that one is always around “what other regions got and we don’t”. But noone was asking for that one, aside people requiring that since the start.

We really only wanted stronghold buff, people are happy they get one, you can only read complains from those who rushed it before the buff is released. OP just need to kick something to feel better. That’s all.

This is the conversation:

No one referred to the general honing buff… It was clearly a conversation referring to the sh buff which you may have misunderstood.

Probably but then they quitted seeing everything the game had to offer. Not in the middle because the “grind” that is honing up to that point made the game boring and stale.

No, they weren’t. At least no more than they have always been. Why are you also spreading misinformation like op?

No, look at that person’s posts. He literally posts about the general buffs then comments to me that his friends quit because they were not present from the start. It’s not that exact comment chain but that guy is talking about general honing buffs as well.

My bad then. I 100% agree with you on that.

the question is: Are these people really the real Lost Ark community? I strongly believe most people dont give a fuck and just play the game. This is just a vocal clueless minority…

The honing won’t be fixed. It resets at Brelshaza.

I think this conversation goes way beyond this week or a month. People have been asking for global buffs since forever. Don’t get me wrong whatever buff they implement helps anyone I am not against the honing research, but I would like to see the global buffs in the game as well.

They will give it with clown or brelshaza.

Nope, understood it perfectly. SH research is just a win more button for lucky people/spenders that are already ahead of the cutting edge.

Even if I got my main (1450) up to 1460 to start SH research I have no alts ready to push to 1415 to make use of it.

My highest alt hit 1370 a couple weeks ago, nowhere near ready to push 1415 with or without SH research.

You’re right. I did not have all the information. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

No, it doesn’t. That’s incorrect.

OP specifically mentions people first complaining about the lack of the stronghold research and then says that those same people are now complaining. Which is a lie.

That is all.

Global honing buffs have nothing to do with it.

If you are not lucky… You fail even with the stronghold buff. I failed a 99.67% hone in T2 and pitied 8 times in a row from 1415-1460. Took me everything I owned in game being sold in the AH to reach 1460 just last night. No matter the % chance in rng, some people will be lucky and some won’t. When it comes to spenders, I don’t see how other people’s use of their hard earned cash matters to you. I’ve been playing almost fully f2p save for ark pass and founders and I can’t say I’ve been impacted in any way by “whales” save for getting a few free carries.

Might be this post specifically but I don’t think people are necessarily mad at 1460 reaserch they might be I don’t care. But lots of people confuse the SH research with the global buffs. And then most of the times people don’t even specify which one they are talking about. Most of the time they both go as “Honing buffs” and that is where it ends.
