Korean version vs International version ?

[Kinxil]

Lailai,

A lot of things has been said on this game, but I'm wondering something and I'd like people who played the Korean version to enlight on a couple of subjects :
- Is T3 honing RNG the same? I've been started T3 a couple day ago and I'm kinda baffled on how low the rates are (already out of raise percent items)
- Are blue and violet % health potion also costing gold to craft ?
- Is the game time gated as much ? I'm speaking on a general manner, with raid limitation, isles appearances, ...

No watch a video, korean honing is like 30 percent vs 15/10 in NA.

That would be ... disappointing, especially given how grindish is the game. I'm not especially against such a thing... until RNG is heavily part of it.

Our version is worse in every way. Only thing you can do is make your complaints known. That or just quit like a million other people did.

This is the super whale hunter version. They didn't even bother with skins and just went all in with BS honing rates that they know are extremely unpopular and almost killed the game in Korea. They changed the ilvl of thing like hard mode of the tier 3 abyss dungeons from 1355 to 1370 to lock you out of being able to obtain any class engraving jewellery until your 1370. This version of the game is also missing a couple of game modes that add a bunch more mat sources.

Holy crap, that's kinda infuriating then. I start to understand people disregard for the game. Everything bound to story, mechanics, gameplay is good and I think it is what please players.
But the grind being WORSE than the Korean version, already known to be time consuming ? I'm fuming. I wanted to like this game, but that's legit a scam if we're being had that much...

Speaking of skins, before reaching T3 my main concern was fashion based : no skin transumation. Do Korea have it?

I would very much like to see the empirical evidence of your claim. Can you provide it?

Did anybody do a realty objective comparison between the 2(3?) versions anywhere ?

Ours is way behind the korean version (raid contents, classes, items) plus we got the worst version especially with honing rates.

We're also missing some QoL.

TLDR: we got the whale baiting version

you can not buy for each char max amount of materials with event tokens in western version ... this is a dogshitty design - western ppl have more money so they can spend real money is the idea

There's a handful of things that they screwed up in Korea but then apologized and fixed that they are doing again for us.
A good example is the comp PvP that just rolled out. We get the old system where like 80% of us will be stuck in bronze forever and then they will eventually apologize and release the updated system that they should have included in the first place.
