besides the fact that AGS is doing a TERRIBLE job at running this game,
just browsed through party finding for Valtan HM and Vykas HM and literally, every single one of them was either EXP or reclear OR fail mech=kick
hasn’t it been 6 weeks since Vykas came out in NA?
i’m originally from KR server and i also have plenty of experience in, not only Valtan and Vykas but Kakul and Brelshaza as well… but really… 6 weeks in and people are already gatekeeping like this?
i personally believe players themselves also play a huge role in maintaining the game and by the looks of it… lol
it doesn’t seem like things are gonna get any better and it’s just matter of time before we lose even MORE people. it’s already same people here and there at event islands and at punika…
even elitist pricks on KR server weren’t gatekeeping his hard 6 weeks into a fresh new raid
Which would you pick. 99% of people would pick the first. Nothing against the 2nd player but your only as good as the resume you put out. This is why you generally look for a static group instead then your gear matters less.
I want to somehow agree with you but then you focus your whole argument on 2 weeks and a simple google release search would show far from 2 weeks you’re like 400% wrong.
yeah 6 weeks is alot of time to get the reclear mentality.
Your original point does stand tho we do not have enough Try groups going on right now because of the lack of new players. It is a rough situation for them all around.
Eh honestly as long as people are cool with doing their raids with a couple of statics in the future, things will be fine.
I feel like a doomer saying that, but I really do think the inexperienced players will be filtered out by mid-September and majority will have a guild/static to run all raids
You also see a few learning/school parties on the party finder from time to time, but they fill out really quick.
Personally, when I create parties, I just want people to know the mechs, and not go blind, I don’t really care about reclear or exp, and I never kick somone for failing too many times, but usually someone else does stop the raid.
Apparently not. Tried to do Vykas last week and ended up giving up after 4 hours of even NM Vykas because every single party I joined couldn’t even do Orbs in Gate 1…
Parties are a fucking joke right now. People just refuse to do mechs or learn them and just send it hoping to be carried apparently.
Yea I mean it comes down to what people’s threshold is for “I WANT TO GO RIGHT NOW”.
The type of people who want to go fast, needs to go fast, needs to go right now, are typically going to be people who just need to get this content out of the way because at this point its mind numbing farm content.
The type of people who want to sit there and learn the fight for 8 hours of wiping are probably not going to care overly much if they have to wait an hour or two for the party to fill.
Remember when Vykas launched, lobbies were commonly up for over an hour looking for the last 2 supports, and this included more “veteran” groups as well.
Well the beautiful part about Vykas Normal is that you literally do not need anyone else to do the mechanics. Just Time Stop. You literally only need yourself and one other person alive on the other side to clear Gate 1.
I would love if people learned the mechanics and did them properly so I dont have to waste time stops every run, but if people can’t do basic stuff like that, at least you can carry it yourself and get the hell out of there.
