I'm sick of people saying you can keep up with the whales f2p

You do have all the means, to get to T3, and then go, oh no there is no content here, back to an alt to mess around in t1/t2
Wrong reply :wink:

At t3 you can do all the abyssal raids from t1 and t2 + 2 from T3 you can also fight any T1/T2 guardian + all the guardians from T3, there is LITERALLY more content than t1 and 2 and that is a FACT. Yeah the content may not be so exiting for some ppl but you can’t say that there is more content on T1 and 2 thats just false.

Literally 90% of the F2P post I’ve seen about lacking resources have been dividing them between characters instead of feeding, so they are like, I have a 1050, 1000, 980, 860, 620, 460, 450, why can’t I progress as fast?!?

This is true, or they didn’t finished islands, they are not doing their dailys, they have 400 hours in the game but they are just collecting mokokos or taking selfies.

You guys do realize there isn’t any race right?

It’s actually kinda obvious what’s going on when 1370 content gets released before the other classes when only 2% of the community is 1300+ according to Steam. Don’t get baited.

There’s pretty much the new raid and two islands behind 1300. All the content is up front and accessible by most. I have a 1337, 1302, 1080 and 970. I’m just farting around going to islands.

You don’t need the gear to play 90% of the game.
Personally I more enjoy I have 2 years worth of Crystalline Aura than any ilvl boost.

This is not a race, and if you want to play it as a race then be willing to drop 8 hours of grind daily if you want to keep up with the tryhards/hardcores/Whales.

I have no problem with pay to win.

Money is a renewable resource. Time is not. You are given a fixed amount of time on earth and you are never gonna earn more.

@Kirihito

Just to put things into perspective, 95% of my guild are actually brand new. Since release we’ve all made it to 1340+ on our mains with 1-2 chars in T2 and 1-2 in T1. None of us are whales, we took our time with the story, We didn’t rush and honestly only reached this GS about 2 days ago?

In relation to ‘keeping up’ this is only a problem if you’re chasing whales to begin with. None of my guildies post of read these forums, instead they’re ingame enjoying the abundance of content, doing their daily’s, side quests, collections etc.

If you remove the mentality of “Keeping up” with whales, then you honestly will have so much more fun, because you’re not intentionally punishing your mental by seeing your own progress and telling yourself that you’re behind.

This is my own perspective of how my mental is. I’m not chasing, I focus on me and I’ll get there when I get there :slight_smile:

I’m not saying this perspective will change how you feel, but I wanted to offer an insight into how new players like my guildies and experienced players like myself can coincide without any animosity and in the end just take our own time and pace.

Lol, isn’t there some kind of book about this kind of thing, ironically containing whales?

Time is money

its not about keeping up with the whales. its about being able to access content. And right now only whales can access that content. The vast majority of players can’t enjoy that content because AGS didnt give us the bridge that we can use to cross. ur 1340 right now. but 1350-1370 is a massive abyss that will suck up more resources than you used to get to 1340.

I can agree with you that the majority of players right now can’t access Argos right now, but keep in mind that If you’re in no rush to complete Argos, this shouldn’t necessarily be a bother no?

If you’re ok at taking your own time and pacing yourself, then you’ll likely see that you’ll get to Argos, sure its not today, but you will get there.

That’s the advice that I have offered to all my guildies, take their time, and just roll with it. Eventually those bridges you’ve mentioned will make their way into the game, and itl help a lot of the other players too.

I actually recently watched a surprise stream from Keum Kang-Seong Hyung (SGR’s director) and he mentioned a few important things;

  1. Players shouldn’t argue amongst themselves - they want to see supportive communities who help one another and provide kind constructive feedback towards the devs, kind words = happiness (this motivates the development team a lot)

  2. They look at ingame player data very closely before making decisions, and they like the idea of making things available for people to ‘work towards’ They also value feedback from all players.

Lastly, I’d like to ask you a quick question, maybe so I can see where you’re coming from. What is it about needing to have Argos available for the vast majority that you think will benefit them? It is at the moment the “final” piece of content we have right now, wouldnt it be healthier to always have something to work towards rathar then completing everything the day it comes out then having to wait for more?

Thanks for having a good convo with me!

it is called jeff bezos amazon GREED.

I dont want to be even with whales… But not playing the latest content if im playing 6-7h a day… Come on

It’s a good perspective to have on this game. It’s not WoW or any of their clones. It has a ton of lateral progression and flat out weird stuff you find yourself involved in for 2 hours.

The game has an updated twist on old school MMOs where it was more about exploring the world and people you meet. It gives you progression in all different directions. That progression is also account bound which feels really good when you know all character benefit.

All my characters are gunna be sailing with Astray one day =D

Are you telling me you are sitting at 1350 T3, or are you still experiencing the load of content already out there?

Taking ur time is fine. But theres content between 1302 and argos that will speed up ur progress. But they didnt release this first and let people do those before releasing argos. The whales were able to bypass this missing content and jump right over the heads of players like urselves.

collecting mokoko? Once ur done with the islands. The only content ur gated by is daily unas and rapport.

Like I mentioned in a earlier post and someone else hinted to. I don’t personally feel Smilegate would have pushed the new content this quickly. I mean, 2%. I also doubt it’s a coincidence NA/EU got all 3 Tiers at once while others had steady progression.

In the end they will be waiting on Korea’s next content update. So don’t get baited.
