    So you wanna stay in this version where you have crappy ways of getting AP and medals + the faction that doesn't have divine fort can't do dark poeta (the only real endgame instance) unless they log in at 4am to grab quest or pay a stupid amount of kinah for the 20 scales quest for longer? That is wild.

    i do indeed. people rushing from patch to patch can just play retail. and the freeloaders crying for tradable/free siels energy can just leave.

    Yes, because retail is the exact same game except it has quicker patches. /s


    Get out of your bubble please.

  • Siel Pricing

    Quote from Shira

    Now that I think about it, there was actually some regional pricing back in retail iirc, where you would get more coins for the same amount of money.

    Yeah but unfortunately people kept "flying" to Turkey and getting cheaper coins

  • Siel Pricing

    Quote from Shira

    I get that, but you are buying goods/services from a country where manufacturing the goods or running the services you are buying, does not cost the same as in those countries with lower wages. Say a pizza costs 2-3 euros somewhere, you are not going to Germany and expect to pay the same.


    Understandable, but I also don't think Siel's Aura should cost like 1/10th of the normal cost in that 400€ salary country, as in, not a direct conversion. I think it should be something like 7€ instead of 10€. Because otherwise you're also losing money from potential customers.

    Regardless, I highly doubt they'll change it.

  • Siel Pricing

    I don't get why some people keep saying "if 10€ is too much for you then don't play" or "10€ is nothing". As mentioned before, in some EU countries the minimum wage goes as low as ~400€, so yes 10€ is a lot. If you're getting paid like 3000€-4000€/month then congrats, obviously 10€ is pocket change for you.

    Maybe just understand that your country's bubble isn't the reality for the whole EU. The price shouldn't be general, but rather adjusted at least a little bit based on country.


    For me personally, 10€ is not an issue, but rather the fact that 10€ would give me 380(+10)=390 coins and Siel's Aura will cost 399 coins after it's no longer discounted. This means I would have to buy 15€ worth of coins instead of 10€, and that doesn't feel right to the point where I don't want to play because it feels done on purpose.

    I also think the price on everything else in the shop and the pass itself (should be 10-15€ not 20€) is a tad too high, but oh well, I'm likely not even playing if I have to charge 10€+5€ just for Siel's Aura.

    taking months to level unless you no-life?

    you bad bro

    Great argument! /s

    I was on the faster end as i had more time to play at the time. Lvled by solo kiting elites as sorc near Kishar (for 30's) and solo/sometimes duo clearing draupnir cave (for late 30's to 50). I was talking about the "normal" players which, believe it or not, make up most of the community and u'd probably realize that if u weren't so quick to have a brainless reaction. Saw many people quitting mid lvling till NC made it way easier because guess what, they realized they didn't have the patience that they thought they had.


    Quote from Guxue

    The main issue with starting at 2.0 means a lot of old content (instances, rifting, more diversified pvp) is dead on release. Everyone will just rush for endgame and run back and forth in gelk/inggi.

    I also don't think a barebones 1.2 is the way to go, and lvling in lower patches is definitely an issue. But nobody is saying they want to stay on 1.x for ages, just having the chance to at least experience that for a few months before moving on to new maps and different content would be nice.


    I get this and mentioned it in my post, but hopefuly people will also understand that the game doesn't force u to only run between forts in gelk/inggi as was mentioned before. Yes it heavily discourages u from going into low lvl maps on that patch, but silentera canyon exists (and is pretty active in this patch).

    Also at the end of the day, the community decides where the pvp spots are...if u have several people making an effort to roam the entire map, then more ppl like that will show up. Just like in tiamaranta's eye, u always had the zergs hugging guards, but the best pvp was found in inner rings/further from guards.

    Kinda weird how many ppl are complaining about the 2.0 start. As someone who played NA Classic from the start till middle of 2.0....1.x is not as fun as you think it is. As a matter of fact it was almost not fun at all.

    Taking months to level unless you no-life it isn't fun when you realize that you're missing a ton of crucial skills/stigmas (example: recovery spell for chanter) and they're pretty rare drops so they get mega overpriced on broker. It's also not fun to try to do quests with your green gear while some dude who no-life lvled is rifting over and 2-shotting u constantly and staggers your already slow progress. And then you get max lvl and have almost nothing to do. Everything being a struggle isn't very fun when you're no longer 12-16 years old playing 24/7.


    Sorry but a lot of ppl here have rose tinted glasses. Are there SOME cool aspects about 1.x that u won't experience as much with 2.0 start? Absolutely, but the pros outweigh the cons by a lot with a 2.0 start (as long as they don't include the drops nerf like NA and kill classic on arrival). Also if they started on a lower patch then it would take so long to catch up to KR (and the many QoL changes that come with it).


    Imo 2.0 is the absolute best patch that they could start on. But hey, they were always gonna have people complaining no matter what patch they picked.

    Btw rates are definitely increased from +12 to +15 aswell....i know the official notice only mentions +9 to +12 but it's also boosted till +15.


    Source: everyone is getting +15's incluiding myself with not too many stones, plus we had the same thing happen in the last stigma event.

    Hello again, just a quick note: Ticket 1111 is just a vanilla item, you can't do anything with it Have a nice evening!

    Sadly they removed this entire part of the current event, what a coincidence, because it gives more sources to transformations.
    Sry but this is a joke birthday. Nothing to celebrate here, besides gambling a 0,01% Tiamat or doing trash Hero Trials, where u dont even have information about whether u get the second needed item part for the locked legendary transformation or not and looking at the max reward, i dont even wanna start.

    Galeas what's your response to this? Events planned 2-3 months ahead. We've been asking for transformations for longer than 2-3 months. This was an opportunity to give us that by SIMPLY COPY PASTING a KR event. You guys didn't even have to improve rewards, nothing, just copy paste like u copy paste all the other trash events. But instead you guys chose to nerf the good part of the event. What is this joke? You keep saying you're listening to our feedback, saying it's being forwarded to the team...but the result we get is the EXACT OPPOSITE.


    This is irrefutable proof that you guys don't plan on giving us anything that we ask for when giving feedback and that our feedback is completly useless.

    Quote from Myriani

    still need to wait for 25th-27th days, but I think this is the first event where you can get ulti transformation by actually playing the game


    EDIT: I don't have my hopes up too much, it's prolly gonna be like a few mobs for each server

    KR supposedly got 1 ult form per faction, so do the math.

    Because they love small, young looking girls :P Some strange fetish xD

    Why do half the people always take this to the sexual side of things? It's a game, your character is supposed to be in a made-up world, it's not real. Tiny characters are more cute-sy and the engine doesn't really allow you to make actual beautiful characters like BDO or something. Most korean characters are like this aswell.

    Quote from 15TAN

    They do not get 600 in 6 months, you cannot do 100 runat per month :) It is mathematically impossible. 2/day -> 14 per week -> 56 per month :) Unless you wanna cash for resets. Unless you get more than 1 bag per win/draw

    And if we get it, instead of 600 we'll have to farm 10.000, and the fragment won't be 100% dropped, but you'll be able to buy a box from the shop with 299 AC that can give you, randomly ofc, one fragment.

    Afaik you get 4 per win, 1 per loss.

    Quote from LenLa

    I got informed by our server members that if you get 24 cards , you get all possible rewards under 24 combination title , including Kaisinel + Marhutan , is it true?

    Yes and here's another piece of information - last year some dude spent something like 8k euros and didn't get the last card. It's designed to be like "omg i just need one more card so i'll keep cashing till i get it" but you never get it because the chance is so low. Casino tactic, don't buy into it.

  • General Event Discussion

    Okay i'm gonna end this discussion on the fact that you think enchanting transformations through runes is even somewhat relevant compared to everything else that people need. If it's marchutan/kaisinel being enchanted then i'd say ok...and even then it's a luxury.


    I'm just gonna give up on this since i have to read each of your sentences at least twice to even attempt to understand what you're trying to say and even then it's hard to understand. Also the fact that you have ulti form explains why you have this point of view. Have fun on your adventures!

    Quote from robi1102

    U R sorc, am i right? So R U serious and trying tell "no"? 2114 +1 meteor wave and +164 per level for every 40s. How many dps will U deal by using Ur odian skill within 25m in Beno? around 4-5kk? Also how many dps will U deal from rune attack if U have both damage runes? 3-4kk? - just wearing good legendary form ...?

    Let me make this really simple for you. Just because you only PvE, that doesn't mean this is a PvE only game. Ultimate transform is a far better improvement for overall gameplay (meaning both PvE and PvP combined). If someone were to give me ultimate transform in exchange for me giving up my red odian skill and my dmg runes that i can't even get past +1 or +2 i'd say yes in a heartbeat. Plus, odians and runes are easy enough to farm/buy from broker, ultimate transformation is not.


    EDIT: Also just out of curiousity, what class do you play?

    Quote from Cyriusss

    I prefer to get many legendary transformations instead of one ultimate because you can try to fuse and get ultimate transformation but you can reach and complete transformation collection with fails fusion ^^

    And this is exactly what reasonable people are asking from GF, not 100% ultimate but rather a constant stream of legendaries (not 1 every 2 months) so we can try to fuse.
