Honing gear is the worst thing in this game
the game is great except for honing gear it is really bad. i spend all week grinding and at the end of all that i get 10-15 failures and not 1 pc of loot upgraded in a week this is so horrible the more i play the less i enjoy the game. this mechanic it needs a the biggest change. i can see a lot of people quitting over this

lol welcome to an MMO grind a FREE MMO no less. Be glad this isn't BDO, cuz if you fail you lose the gear and and failing decreases your gear level. Play alts to help with resources for your main.

not everyone has the time to grind alts to T3 i sure do not and having alts in 3 different tiers is not helping also i am not playing BDO i have nothing to say about that game this game will die fast the more ppl get to T3

Game is f2p, all f2p games have things like time gates in place as they want the "impatient" people to buy accelerators and the like which has been the common business model for a long while now. Plenty of people have made it to end game not spending a dime, it just takes time. Feels like a lot of people need that insta gratification these days like the world is going to end if they can't play one game 24hrs a day cause of time gates.

If you don't have time they pay, that's why it's there. And you need to grind to get your alts up buddy boy. Sounds like this game isn't for you, that's ok, play something else

who cares if its free to play . i spent a week getting materials and got 0 for it it feels like time wasted. T3 will kill this game faster than amazon killing new world. i like this game i want it to succeed i want millions playing it im just saying if they want the game to be successful they need to do something about honing. already lost 200k in a month real players not bots next month will be 400k more people will be in T3 suffering weeks of failures going nowhere

i love honing its the best part

They won't get rid of honing, but they will eventually patch in better rates for the lower tiers to help people catch up.

But honestly, if honing is something you don't like. Find another game. it's not going away, and only gets worse odds as you advance in tiers.

Can see what's coming though, theyv cashed in on whales. Once the real t3 comes and most the player base is in t3 they'll end up upping success rate and nerfing the raids. Player retention is everything.

ya ive already seen the patch notes on it too, but it should have been like that from the get go if they wanted everyone in T3 ASAP . im worried a lot of people will quit making the game worst for everyone

get what your saying but think itll be fine. new players will eventually speed to t3 and not have to worry about any rng. time will tell though

Just look at KR for the future model for the West, they already start you off with T3 gear

I think the sailing is the worst part of the game my self i can deal with the crappy grind but been forced to ♥♥♥♥ about sailing is game killing to me. Hey want to have some fun oh sorry you need to sail for 10mins to this Island first enjoy its fun i mean you do nothing but look at the screen for 10mins but its fun so much fun.

After BDO nuking like a months worth of work with a fail I thought this one was pretty casual in comparison lol

edit: not even to mention the server wide shame announcement the game does when you do fail it
