Potential issue: "An Express Event that grants special missions to a selected Item Level 1302 character to help them progress to 1370, pairing well with the Punika Powerpass."

yeah, just give Punika pass to everybody then bot-farmers can use it. We will get cheaper mats and leg engravings when bots reach 25 level bridge. Win Win

People who complaning I have advice write to support and reject those gift. Just write u dont wanna them.

If bots start at 1302 then they will flood the market with T3 mats making them even less profitable to sell. They will also generate more gold from Una tokens. You might start seeing more bots with your content like T3 Cube and Boss Rush.
Until they have really tight control over bot issue (i.e. never) I would prefer them giving power passes with restrictions like they do now.

What they could do is referral system if some people want to invite their friends, but don’t want them to grind to T3. You would be required to have for example 1400 ilvl and clean account for this to work and your friend gets free 1370 power pass, while you get some small gift. If they turn out to be a bot your account gets some kind of punishment.

didnt the express that is still active if you picked a character before the end of june, lets you get to the end of t2, requiring you just to do punika story and get the armor/weapon from the 1100 chaos dungeon, making you 1302, whats the issue?

are you implying there are no new users after june?
if there are none then yes, there is no issue

hasnt it been stated the main purpose of the express event and powerpass is for the players considering coming back, not new players

im sorry but the express event is essentially a powerpass with a tiny bit of work involved, if they handed out a free 1302 boost AND a free boost from t1 302 all the way to 1370, that would be too much in a short period of time

I guess I explained myself badly since everyone is focused on powerpass, i want them to enable global honing buffs so that the new players that dont have access to powerpass can at least make it quicker to T3

wrong big wrong and wrong, t1-t2 is useless content even agreed by the dev team why ya think they give out boost useable by everyone like some candy :d doesnt matter what part we are in right now t1-t2 wont give u new players.

New players see new class maybe i like it but cant play it unless they do boring lvln and gearing for weeks. I guess u for a reason aint in marketing and ags shouldnt be either xd atleast not in gamin marketin

sadly wont ever happy until late raids like abu maybe, ags didnt even want to give us the 1460 stronghold buff so i doubt they have honing buff anytime soon greed hinders to much :d

Hellll nah. I’m 1367 and you must all suffer as I have.

again its all a matter of preference. there are people who do not care not a single bit about legion raids.

some people play games for reasons beyond “end game” content. i just so happen to be a fan of the whole package, i like story content and collectiable stuff (to a degree) and ofc raid content.

but i also have friends that just outright ignore it all together and sit at Lv 30 and pvp all day, i have friends that speed run to the next raid and i have friends that spent weeks farming mokoko and doing the adventure tome.

so yeah some ppl REALLY REALLY hate the story and would rather instantly skip to 1490, while others want to experience the entire thing from start to finish.

Imagine absolute new players punika passing to 1302, express passing to 1370 and then queueing yohos with you. Shag floor povs

Kekw ppl still doing yohos in this day and age

And 99% of the T1/T2 guardians are horribly designed and balanced making a party necessary to reduce stress/anger, you can smash your head into a wall but that doesn’t make doing so a good thing. Moreover a bard/paladin cannot solo them and its the biggest reason why my bard isnt T3 yet, because there is no one there anymore, and it will be harder to get more supports if this keeps up.

no all the t1/t2 guardians are braindead easy to do. even the most annoy one can be solo’d

doing it in a group only makes it MORE difficult. because now the boss has more hp, a higher threshold for destruction or stagger and you have to rely on 3 other people.

No they aren’t, learning to enjoy dogshit design doesn’t make them good or braindead either. T1/T2 guardians deal random damage just because they can, some of them are hard to read or too quick, give stupidly strong debuffs with nearly every attack, have stupidly annoying mechanics that are more tedious than fun, or are damage sponges just for the sake of being one. There is a reason why the newer guardians are nothing like the older gen, that’s because they are designed to be fun.

I think roxx mentioned and apologized on another post for this, but this event doesn’t seem to be aimed at new players unlike the previous one.

In any case, it takes about a month to reach T3 (1302) without honning buffs and 1 or 2 alts farming mats, the events also help, by that time you will still have the powerpass and event so you can use the pass on an alt and have 2 T3 characters, and boost one of them with the express + the alt.

It takes time, and it sucks I know, but that’s the best tip I can give you.

All my alts are still doing Igrexion kekw. But with the purify rune is basically powerless.

Ah, yes. Play our Massively Multiplayer Online game and solo all the group content at max level for a few weeks until you can play with other people. This is definitely a winning formula that will achieve maximum retention of new players.

technically guardians are not “group content” they are labeled as 1-4. they are pieces of content designed to be soloable.

if we were talking about abyss dungeons or legion raids we would have a different series of complaints (and more valid ones too). but you are not expected to solo those
