most of the things are super cheap too! to complete the maps. i just bought them cause farming them will take ages. the only thing that may take some times is the rapports. other than that it’s so simple!

They already changed when they nerfed T1 and T2 content, or when they launched Argos after 1 month server.
I understand your point of the source to be preserved, but we already had changes and know that AGS is listening to vast majority of players. So be aware that any change can happen in our server, the same dev team that nerfed early guardian bosses can nerf the honing chances if the vast majority of players don’t think is fun.
Does your opinion even matter since you aren’t western player? Are you trying to change West to other regions? In West, we don’t take shit, if you don’t like it, go back to wichever region you came from.

I…am…western?
Changing the rng aspect is basically impossible tho, they could change numeric values. But taking them out of the game wouldn’t be possible
If a game maker wants to alienate an entire region that’s fine, but the game will die in NA if there is not significant change to honing and the requirement of alts to progress. The community is losing people every day so telling people to stop crying is nice n all but not really helpful nor appreciated to those sticking it out.

On the topic of alts, in later game progress having alts is just needed and an essential part of the game. Like I mentioned before, I just highly doubt they would change or take out a fundamental partnof the game.
In terms of changing numeric values etc that is possible to do, but I don’t think it’s possible nor reasonable to take out whole aspects of the game.
So yes in that regard we just need to get over it
“T1 & T2 currently are barely a challenge looking at honing rates, u perhaps fail 1-3 times if u get close to lvl12-15”
Only 1-3 times? You must have been a lot luckier than I was.

There is a research in your lab that ups honing rates considerably. It becomes available for the previous item tier once you reach the next one. After you make an alt and make use of that research, T1 and T2 are a breeze.

you get like +20% honing chance by completing these. the honing rate change is not needed mat drop rate is due to this feature. honestly no 30 point on gear prior to endgame should take months to achieve. 1340-1370 is not end game thats mid tier gear it takes longer to go from 1340 to 1370 than it does from 250-1340. what i mean by that is farming the items from scratch to that point unless ridiculously lucky in getting upgrades post 1340 and 1 tap 20+ upgrades.
I came from BDO with full PEN set. This is a cake walk compared to that and I am a “westerner”. Sorry to break it you.

Thank you!!!
Thank you that’s exactly what I was thinking all the time but was to lazy to get it worded out! Thanks!
I think the biggest problem is that the words that come out of the directors mouth do not match the actions taken. He did say this, but then released the game in a state where all of the content focus is t1 and t2 island farming/horizontal progression with vertical in the background as you do your horizontal. Let me restate that: **
the current US regions entire game focus is for us to be working on island farming to build up our accounts until the company is ready to unleash t3 content. Thus, the slowed down gear progression rates.
**
This has not been made clear to audiences, in fact, the opposite message was stated when they said ‘we want players getting into t3 content’, so people just ripped through content like a bat out of hell to get that top ilvl, then got mad when they were halted to a stop by the current in game mechanics. There was also a severe miscalculation on both companies part as to how fast we would all progress on the mats they were currently issuing us. Simply put: the payouts are far too low to casually get t3 gear upgraded in any reasonable time without losing sleep min maxxing. Their intent was for t3 to naturally happen in the background over time as you work on your horizontal progression, but they screwed the pooch and left us with quests and dungeons paying out a fraction of what they should have been paying.
I bet if we were to look at the accounts of everyone complaining about honing rates though, the majority of those people have done next to no island content/rapport building to get stat/skill potions, cards, etc for character upgrading. Probably have level 5 strongholds because they completely wasted all of their resources purely on gear upgrades. How do I know this? Because there are literally 100s to 1000s of posts with people saying 'theres nothing to do. i just log in, do my 2 chaos, 2 guardians, then log out". There is literally no way possible that they completed all of the completion content for stat/skill buffs and other stuff to make their characters stronger, in the 1 month this games been out.
