Please educate me - what reason is there to delay content ( Valtan, etc )

Again youre doing the same thing we told you that makes you looks ridiclous.

there arent ‘‘supercasuals people’’ theyre normal people who have lives, they got family to feed, they got job to do, they got a life. If you can play 15 hours a day, sleep wake up and play again 15 hours a day, do not think that you are entitled to some extra care. As said before, paying gets you nice benefits, playing 15hours gets you also benefits like getting mokokos or igneas tokens faster or whatever horizontal content there is but that should be about it. (dear lord the consequences to your body though by playing 15h a day)

This game literally has REST systems in the raids and chaos dungeons for this exact reason. Because people have lives, they cant afford to sit 15 hours like you and play the game.

So this brings me back: playing 15 hour does not entitle you into reaching valtan any sooner than a whale does.

You can reach there somewhat faster that is alright, but if a guy who has life/work, things he must to do gets behind months on core-game content like raids because he cant afford to nolife? thats not clever since most of the players are like this who can manage to play 2-4h max a day. ---- and to add, thats why also events exist, for the people who cant play 15h a day, event is to boos them up too, not ofcourse the pace a 15h player can get, but still noticeable amount of progress.

Your biggest wrongs is that you assume so much, if you stopped assumin and payed attention, you would understand why even the devs mentioned the ‘‘possibility of delay’’ of valtan.

177

No it’s because they lost 300k concurrent players overnight. Which could actually mean million+

178

Okay?
I work 11 hours a day 5 days a week, so you’re talking with someone that understands on a personal level.

It’s a legitimate question… if you can afford 2 hours in a game and have yet to experience 99% of the game, why do you care about Valtan?
Why do you want to bypass and skip the entire game you haven’t and don’t have time to experience to jump into content that isn’t even released yet within the first week or even month?

Follow-up question
What is your thought process that makes you feel lesser or screwed over that others who work harder than you or paying to access content sooner than… or in some way or another contribute more than you do get to access content sooner than you?
Because that is the way this game is designed and the game gives you tools to horizontally progress at your own speed without any influence from others…

Third and last question
Why do you want to skip all the content this game has to offer, hardly play the game, don’t utilize any tools or resources you’re given and upset that you aren’t able to access content that is far beyond your current comprehension within the game you play? What’s the drive to skip everything?

Whales do it and I have the same question for them…. But they pay to skip everything and it’s what funds me being able yo play the game.

You’ll get there eventually the same way you’re playing Zelda Ocarina of Time… you have to progress through the story and game design to eventually reach and defeat Ganon. When you skip the entire game, what’s your reasoning for even playing the game in the first place?

179

The Argos complaint was never about the dude that plays 2 hours a day lmao. It was mostly hardcore players doing 8-12 hours a day non stop since release but still couldn’t reach 1370 on Argos release because of bad rng. Those are players that had well over 500 hours a few weeks after release.

Nobody cares about the 2 hours a day guy. If you’re working that much just p2w at that point.

Smeagohl Mate, again youre assuming,

For example the collection tab. a guy that has limited time to play, he has tested all of those, for example gathered 100-200 mokokos and 1-3 igneas, and all the other things, and he deems, thats nice but id rather focus improving my ilvl to match some exciting content since horizontal do not excite me as much and i dont have time to do the both. He is going to spend his time gathering mats, resources to hone himself up with short time he has.

Now you are saying, why he doesnt collect 1100 mokokos, why he doesnt gather 14 igneas, why he doesnt get 50 sea bountys? – Because he dont want to!!! - Why you dont do something that you dont like? because you dont want to.

Also again i have to answer you same thing

Stop assuming people and understand, even though horizontal content is there, the core content of this game is the legion raids. Not your relic gear, not your relic accessories not mokokos not igneas, its the ability to experience the game as the way you want it, and for 90% people its the raids.

and to further add to your question, its not that that a guy who cant pay or who doesnt have time to grind as fast as you to get somewhere is mad that he cant reach valtan same time as others, its that f2p players CURRENTLY do not have even WAYS to get there in a REASONABLE time. Someone who plays 2-4h a day understands he can never get to content as fast as 15h player or whale can, but if you get punished becuase you have a life and cant afford to waste your money by getting delayed MONTHS maybe x2 or x3? bad thing and no game will punish a average human being who has a life and family.

Thats why people are waiting for the new events, and additional materials, thats why people are also waiting for the ark pass, because it provides even more free materials.

its balance, the game goes up with together with people, not because 10 whales got to ilvl and 3k 15h players got to that ilvl too, the majority must also have reasonable time cadence to get in there and then the content can be released because even the slowest will reach anyways in reasonable time

181

I dunno no one seems to be able to answer a single straight up question or two

What makes you feel so inadequate and angry that you’re unable to access content at the same time as someone that funds your game, which conversely allows you to play for free with no affect on your gaming experience… when you haven’t even experienced most of the games content accessible to you?

And why does that anger you have inside redirect to people who play more or pay money?

What’s the rationale behind it and using such strong and negative language like “disgusted” “gross negligence” “predatory to F2P” “Unfair” “Caters to rich”

If it’s really that bad, it’s so simple. Stop playing the game and play something you’ll have fun with.
Something where you don’t feel compelled to compare your experience to another’s experience and ultimately judging your own value based on what other people do without any direct affect to yourself.
If it hurts you, stop doing it.

182

ok i guess you dont understand, ill try to explain it like i would explain it to a 5 year old, word by word:

nobody feels angry, its that this time releasing content for 100 people could be used more wisely to release content for the 200k players instead.

everyone has experienced the parts of the game, they choose if they want to proceed further, for example i dont care of the mokoko grind or ignea grind, but you might – so do you! nobody is stopping you.

nobody here is angry, youre the one here angry because you feel like 200k players should frick off because you paid 10k grand for a game and play it 15h a day. Thats not how life works, president isnt elected because you want someone to be, its because the majority votes.

listen to your own words, if you get mad angry so much that youre about to piss yourself because valtan might get delayed by a month, find a new game or go do something useful dude, go breath fresh air

do you even at this point understand what you are saying lol :joy:

183

I mean… people are angry, angry from day 1 and creating a nightmare for PR and Devs.

It is what it is, since you can’t answer a single legitimate question, produce false facts, and result to skirting questions or facts with insults…I’ll take my leave here.
I guess, continue to enjoy your depressive and oppressive feelings in game and maybe one day you’ll realize you’re not entitled to anything for free and life is much better when you aren’t concerned with what others do.

It’s free, quit bitching.

Only a small minority can run valtan. That’s all there is to it.

You’re being ironic also. How cute. The reason should be clear even to people like you from what happened with Argus. Not everyone has 7 T3 alts and very few will be able to play Anything on time if they release it too soon. Just because you (and me dont get too cocky) did it, doesnt mean the general population will do it.

And guess what genius: The general population matters more than you, me and the rest of the 0.5% that play 12 hours per day.

There. I educated you. Now close this fucking pointless thread

ps: Valtan is not 1415. It is 1445. fyi

187

Yeah I mean like you know HM Valtan doesn’t matter, you gotta get the NM set anyway because Valtan is not giving you all the 6 set pieces in HM any time soon, I’m not even sure you can get more than 2 relic set pieces without Biakiss around anyway. So you want 4 piece from NM Valtan anyway and you cannot do both HM and NM the same week.

So you can sure ignore that and keep playing with Argos set, but you shouldn’t. Basically you gotta do at least 3 weeks iirc (maybe more) killing NM Valtan before even consider starting to do it in HM. And I guarantee you that I will not invit you in my HM Valtan raid if you don’t already have 4 piece of its legendary (normal mode) set.

Edit : NM and HM Valtan will be release at the same time. It has been stated already, has been in all other region. Gotta make up with that.

you are right here i would like to have access to everything in reasonable time where reasonable for me is ~2 weeks after release (worse case scenario), im somehow pretty sure i will not have access to 1445 content for much longer if we dont get some extra event with it.
Hopefully i`m wrong on this tho :slight_smile:

189

1445 content isnt going anywhere.
Most people will start off doing normal Valtan.
Only a small minority will clear hardmode, or even have enough players to attempt it.

190

Normal Valtan is 1415.
Hardmode is 1445.
Most players will be doing 1415.

The normal progression path is to do normal Valtan for 4 piece legendary set. So then you will use 2 piece argos/4piece valtan. By then youre probably around 1445 to attempt to complete hardmode Valtan. You dont just skip normal mode Valtan unless youre a giga whale with friends who are also gigawhale. Even then, there are three one shot mechs in the fight people have to get used to.

191

Mokoko, island souls, giant hearts and many others collection there are so many horizontal progression same as your rooster lvl.
The only way to release Valtan sooner is with a better event to accommodate and accelerate players to reach 1415

192

Because releasing Argos caused a ragestorm in the community due to it being “too early.”

Amazon doesn’t want ragestorms, so they push Valtan back a month or more to avoid the same thing from happening, especially since now the ragestorm would have the “they are doing the same thing AGAIN” on top of whatever came in the first one.

Whether the first ragestorm was justified or not doesn’t matter at all.

And that’s it - the reasoning is 99 % PR

193

Smilegate likely has something to do with it as well. Because they had the same problem in KR last year when they released a ton of raids.

194

Yea but why did it cause a ragestorm?
It was not justified at all. Read what I chose as the answer and maybe you’ll see what I mean. It’s just self-induced FOMO, there was nothing negative about releasing it.

Also, it was announced ages ago that it’ll be a month after release, yea, AGS should’ve communicated it better but that’s just again a lazy playerbase not researching stuff.

They all act like this is a new game and they got these crazy good ideas but… people… game’s been out forever. Relax.

195

yes. I meant that the ultimate target is 1445 so you dont get to 1415 and chill there, not that you will skip normal

196

Whether it was logically justified or not makes no difference - a ragestorm is an emotional reaction. There is no argument to be had with that.

If Valtan came this month, it would have caused an even larger ragestorm, so that’s why it’s not coming out and we will be lucky to get Valtan at the end of May.
