Hi,
Since the update is not coming this week, make us all happy and give us the honing buff (research in stronghold) for 1370-1415.
It should be in the patch at first anyway.
WE NEED IT, u release valtan for us to have fun and enjoy the game, let us have more fun with alt and maybe discover that we like this class maybe more then we think?
We NEED IT, for more relic accesories on the market, more leg books chance
THAT’S the least u can do for all the bad shit that happend.
Thanks.
Agreed.
Hopefully this is not lost in the pool of toxic critic comments flooding the forums at the moment and a miracle happens.
I think it is not only about the relic accessories and the legendary book chances, but about allowing players to completely move on from old content into the content that brought this game back to life in KR. Please, I can not take much more Yoho runs…
Business intelligence shows that there would be less swiping involved with a honing buff this early into our accelerated release.
Maybe in a 2-6 months bros.
Again, cringy thing to do… @Roxx @ShadowFox, please do consider this. More folks probably got to 1460 after two weeks delay, let this patch be on par with other regions releasing Vykas with the SH honing buff… this will net positive vibes to the community allowing our alts to experience Valtan and lowering down the prices of relic accessories… which will also aid in people RMT’ing b/c of said prices. Please don’t disappoint and strongly think of this!
Ever since they said it won’t be in our patch I just started playing less. Also completely made me reconsider spending money on this game ever again. I have 6 alts at 1385 and they’ll stay there, collecting dust.
Business intelligence is working but in favor of my free time. Thanks AGS!
No updates to this right now unfortunately 
Will be sure to share if that changes
Yep same, i don’t understand why they are not giving us.
There is pleinty of reason why its so good for players.
Because they want more people to buy Royal crystals for gold conversion for buying honing mats.
Anyone saying otherwise is full Cope.
Because money
They don’t like the fast pace content
Now they want to milk us slower and it allows them more engineers to work on KR content like the new raid and class
Basically NA is just getting the stepchild treatment
drip drip drip
Well thanks.
Please reconsider and update the team about that.
Are you sure this was about stronghold research and that Smilegate didn’t misunderstand your question?
After all, the entire stronghold update that included all stronghold honing researches came with Vykas.
Hey @Roxx Don’t you have the data from Korea? When legion raids were released, a lot of new and returning players joined the game to play that kind of content, so why not just give us the global honing buff with Vykas? I don’t get it. This would just be fair for new players to catch up faster…
The decision is purely based to slow down progression
Either Amazon wants to milk us or smilgate
Either way they aren’t looking at the games success, rather the games income
What do they care about profits from 3-5 years when they can milk us in 1 year and move to a different game
I thought about the delay that happened for the June update and I think it’ll be a super long time before we get an update without more future troubleshooting problems in the future. More than likely the upcoming updates after the June update will have similar problems like what we have here right now. Don’t set your expectations to be at a high standard if anything I’d just set the bar low as my expectations for an update that I want for the game will be released much later than they have initially stated.
Is it good for the business is their question, not ‘Is it good for the players’.
My expectations were express as low as 1370 and Punika pass
That’s it
The worry is I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out with Arcana 1 month from now
Like my expectations are low and they still shiet the bed
While I am a full supporter of getting the stronghold research now in order to let the people get their alts out of outdated content, I do not think they do it to milk the playerbase.
I do believe they are just closing the gap between the casual people who progress very slowly and the people who try harder and progress faster, since this is a change that only affects people who is 1460, of course I could be wrong too…
