Honing buff out. People cry as predicted

but we can all agree that global buff would benefit more ppl

The global buff would completely destroy the game right now. It is obviously too early. You cant have a global buff up until 1370 now. It would destroy the economy and the progression curve.

If you are talking about the T1,2 buff then yes I 100% agree. This should be there.

Economy is in shambles rn , and ppl need some boost . Theres is no way new player is getting through t1-t2 now .

the game as whole would benefit from a better progression. The market economy isn’t really functional, and it requires too much failure to get to 1430.

I did it, but its not really feasible for normal people. The game is currently too extreme. There is no realistic way to reccomend this game to someone who isnt insanely hardcore. f2p, we talking 800+? hours and whale we talking tens of thousands of dollars?

the game is digging itself into a progression pit

agreed. its one of the reasons theres no new players coming and theyre bleeding what little players they have left. focusing an entire game on gear progression is a horrible business model to begin with, then add in how barely attainable the gear is to get and you have a recipe for disaster. Also factor in that smilegate is milking the west and refuses to give us honing buff to help us keep up with the sped up content release. I just dont see any world where this game lasts past this year. Even the die hard raiders are going to get bored with the lack of content and leave

Many if you could have kept your mouth shut and just let people have demands and the devs decide on them.
Also many of you are incapable of understanding that are other pov’s other than yours.

If it’s still too complicated for you, the honing buffs should have been gated much lower.

Doesn’t really bother me either way, I enjoy seeing what a bunch of entitled and toxic people inhabit this game.

No regrets whatsoever.

Enjoy the botfest!

@Khazadurin
They shouldve given the honing buffs from the release.
Model of the game doesnt adapt well in the west (playing 10 alts) SG failed on following their localization surveys.

There’s no economy, its still in shambles because they refuse to ban RMTs. They only banned enough bots to reach 250k players, which is the number SG expected at launch in the west.

Relic price wont drop significantly because player base doesnt care for alts.

NA players cry about everything lol, Just play the god damn game… FFS

Where are you from?

I was asking for both :person_shrugging:

NA player here, sat at 1445 for close to a month and hoarded 1k (bound) GHL’s and all the bounded Solar juice you can get to burst my way to 1460. Not as bad as I thought it would be lol. What buff? Who needs one? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

cuz they said there no honing buff first

Yes so push main. Even without honning buff you should focus on your main

good thing that those people are clearly not informed about the honing buffs, because the global honing buff didnt arrive in KR before Brelshaza normal came out, so they are crying for something thats completely unjustified, or basically just being “the average forum andies” if you want to call it that :slight_smile:

Complaining about people complaining is counterproductive. Just remember, “closed mouths don’t get fed.” NA release had been the smoothest release thus far compared to the other regions, and one of the prime factors for this is how vocal the community is.

I dont agree with that. You might not like alts but people like me that like them would end up way ahead and people would complain.

Also I dont quite understand why are you interested in the honing buff in the first place if you dont like alts. Just so you can get your main to 1370? Because, you know, that’s the global buff… It is up to 1370 and completely targets alts :stuck_out_tongue:

I would disagree with that. 1430 can be done with only one character by most people that spent 2-3 per day in the game. People have already done it.

1460 is a different story but why would a normal person want to do Vykas hard on release anyway? All gates are extremely hard. It will take 20-30 hours for a first clear with partial relic set. The fight isnt designed for casuals so i really dont see the problem here.

Well you are the rare exception that knew the difference between the stronghold honing buff and the global one :stuck_out_tongue:

Most people are just asking blindly. I still disagree with you asking for 1370 catchup btw. It would destroy the game completely. It is too early.

I agree with the T1,2 catchup though as I;ve said in other posts

Yeah people need to stop crying about RMTers too as I see too many posts lately about “this guy obviously rmt why AGS not banning?”

Like people…please sit down and stop worrying about shit that you can’t control.

Do not pass go.
Do not collect 200.
Just play the game

can you explain how it would destroy the game ?
