I’m still stuck in T2 due to terrible luck with honing but you know what? THATS FINE!
There is already so much combat/PvE content in t1/t2, not to mention the exploration/completionist aspect of the game. There is no reason to rush to t3.
Making honing easier would just frustrate all the people that had to go through it in its current state and would just push people to the harder content without them properly learning the game mechanics.
Complain ALL YOU WANT, but I legit just yoloed through all of t1 without even knowing what a counter or stagger is and I just barely started to learn these things in t2.
Take a chill pill, you will get there eventually, there is no need to change anything in gear honing. If anything, guardians could have their HP reduced cause right now they are a huge boring sponge, but thats it.
TL;DR - Dont touch honing, nerf guardians HP if you want to.
It would make sense with a lot more content released down the line. In a month of two is just ridiculous. If Valtan, Viakiss and Kuku got released and endgame becomes 1400’s, it makes sense to further ease the t1/t2 process. But to say it should be sped up from already ridiculous sped up state just because 1370 raid gets released? That is a joke and an insult to everyone who put in the time money and effort in the current state.
Wut? I literally farmed dozens of moon’s breath through excavation to boost my gear. This just shows the problem right here. People with lack of knowledge think every one ahead of them only got their because they swiped or no-lifed while they simply don’t know enough about the game.
Rushing them to tier 3 is not going to help with that.
Hardcore players feel like they could have just waited, but they are hardcore players who are super invested already and probably aren’t going anywhere
More casual players feel good that they don’t have to take ages to actually get to the new content
New players who are drawn to the game by the new content will be able to reach it
If you don’t buff honing:
Nothing changes for hardcore players
Casual players will feel even worse that it’s going to take them forever to even be able to try the content everyone is talking about as what makes the game actually good
New players interested in the game will just not bother when they find out it takes hundreds of hours to actually reach raid content
Basically no buff to honing with new content that is ilv gated = RIP playerbase
People advocating for honing changes 1 month from release … consider this: i could be restarting over and would have my main and alts further than right now with all the island materials and welcome challenges. sorry but i cant be arsed to have all my effort devalued as soon as this.
if we get 100% tier 1 + 2 and 2 honing lvls on each upgrade, might as well restart, because the islands themselves give so many roster bound chests, i would rather just do them again than farm daily upgrades on different chars for hours.
it would be utterly stupid. your argument for “the gold advantage” is pointless.
Everyone has access to ways to receive materials to increase honing chances. I did excavation when I was in T2 and every hit I had from 14 to 15 gear I was able to use max moons breath. People are either uninformed about other ways to help, or they just don’t care.
Can players please stop with the effort bullshit? Sitting on your ass banging your fingers on the keyboard will never be effort in this Universe or any other. It’s pitiful that grown people equate doing that to the definition of effort. Having established that fact, there is absolutely nothing of substance for the word devalued to be applied to. You’re about to play the time card so please don’t be one those fools about to parrot Time is Money because if you actually believed that, you’d be earning money instead of sitting on your ass banging your fingers on your keyboard NOT earning money.
I agree with this. The people that had to go through the pain of honing with the horrible rates to get to t3. If they do fix the rates then they should compensate the people that actually got to t3. Maybe some more t3 mats or something.
I don’t think people would mind if the game has been in service for half a year and we have months worth of contents to progress through in T3.
But to do this after a month or two is just too soon. T1/T2 progression literally takes 2 weeks worth of core gameplay, and there is plenty of contents to be enjoyed in that period.
Yup, right now it’s still too easy imo. You make 3 Abyss dungs and you can craft whole Epic set for your Tier. What’s the point? On T1 i did not even gather enough resources to craft Epic and i was T2 already (without 100% chance). Also, i would be reaaaalllyyyyy angry that after spending time to grind stones and leapstones just for others to rush through it with 100% chance.
Btw you can farm moon shards. You need to craft maps in your stronghold. You receive moon shards from every chest you find on the map.
