State of the game ?
Hey i was thinking about coming back to the game too.
I see a lot of complain about.
But what make me stop the game was the hyper toxic community and gate keep on raids...
Had to pay to do anything on the game because no one run the raids normally and everyone pays gold to do them.

I was playing Bard since the beginning of the game .. couldn't find a group because "support are useless, more DPS make raid faster"...

i just tried it again after having not played since about 2-3 mo after launch and...i don't think it's good. uninstalled after a couple days. even though i still had like 500k gold left i felt like i'd need to buy gold to progress through the boost event that was going on. no thx.
supports useless? how long have u been inactive?

massive support shortage right now and the most sought after when getting raids going

games still super toxic tho the community sucks and so much gate keeping etc etc
idk why i still play but i just really log in and collect a few dailies, dont even raid anymore

theres still taxis to pay gold for raids but fewer n fewer people to pay for them tho since golds harder to come by and its so expensive to hone in T4

but as a support as long as ur properly geared youll have no problem finding a party to do raids, unless your super bad and start getting black listed
only chance to progress is been scammed by bussers you pay for huge amount of gold and if ya get dc you been kick instantly ,please remove this scammer bus drivers i got scammed today

lol 10x time more toxic and p2w. Unless doing solo raid which give 100% bound gold , you will be very likely get gatekept in group

How much of the game can you do solo ?
Is it worth it to play only for solo content ?

I don't really care about behind the best player ever .. i just want to play for fun.
I'll probably not join any guild.

The solo raid is pretty good and up to Echidna, which is 3 raids behind the latest raid in the West or 4 raids behind the KR version. The raid is fun to do but the reward are utter sh!t with 100% bounc gold , you can not use that gold to buy stuff from the Auction house.

Any game where you can just pay money to get stronger isnt worth the time anyways.

anyone who told you supports are useless is a troll
they are required in all raids unless you solo or are 200+ ilvl over even then todays gamers are a bunch of dogwater still would need a support

also.....

i dunno what game this guy playing but there is no support shortage esp., anything 1660 and below. i had to drop all my 1660s supports cause every day of the week everyone is screaming forDPS sure the NEW raids may need suppport but eventhen my 1692 artist is still being held up. full trans, fulll t4 lvl 7's all 90+ quality full AP... i mean theres more of a dps shortage than anything andi pug ALLLLLLL my raids
its dead
Solo Raids was supposed to bring a healthy population back in LA ,its jus need some improvement like make the Raids difficulty easy give us 2 types of solo raid 1 is easy and other is a hard mode just to get hang of normal /hard group raids and give some good drops silver and gear improvement its not that hard to do just to invite more casual players probly will save LA and grow to last a long time.

Is solo raid too hard or too easy ?
I would love the game without the RMT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with challenging solo raid.

That's a good idea to make more casual player back into the game.
it could have been a nice game, implementing hm in the old raids in SoloRaid with the addition of nm in the new raids in SoloMode.
Ban the wts lobbies so as to remain faithful with their own rules of conduct regarding boosting.

With ivory towers and the elixir mechanics, a system was introduced through 100% rng weekly raids with the addition of expensive and very long minigames to complete.

IN FACT even the latest raid by kazekoz brelshaza recently released, implemented a super expensive and long to complete rng progression system.

Terrible game and management. Not very transparent and fair. 100% pay to win game.

it's the same really. but soloraid options now which makes the game a lot better for me and many others, Supports get a huge damage boost in them so u can do them on ur bard. i think my bard does akkan faster than some of my dps lul.

If u don't wanna solo, other than match making sonavel guardian raid, all the legion and abysals are dead until 1640 so you'll have to solo ur way there or use an event pass. Supports are always wanted im pretty sure if u know what ur doing. but the gatekeeping and toxicity is bad as ever due to the design of the game and it's progression.

i'm enjoying it minus all the annoying rng and systems that gaureentee lots of shortcomings solo wise. but some things are not designed well for solo like guardian raids and the challange stuff. but u could always jujst dispatch it lul.

in the state the games in still with it's predatory taactics, i wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to play. But there's no top down game that comes close to it's character control and their moves that are fun to use so, if that's what u want. This is sadly your only option imo.

I'll probably not join any guild.

There's a soloraid shop where u can buy alot of mats to get up to akkan gear which puts u at 1585 without raw gold for the taps, but u still need gold to buy some things if u wanna push faster. Otherwise, the soloraid shop has 100 oreha's and if u buy akkan pieces from it for 4 months without doing the raid u can get the full gearset.

If it wasn't for the soloraid shop i wouldn't quit again since i came back 3 weeks ago. No matter what content u do, u make not enough gold and they do that on purpose to encourage u to become addicted and or swipe. But i've been able to do up to kurzan story solo and at 1580 u can try akkan raid, and 1600 is not cheap imo but u can try ivory tower there.

i don't mind that in pve.

This game goes well beyond that and make it so they know u'll fall short to meet the bare minimum to encourage u to swipe instead of waiting til next week to make more failed gains in some desperate attempt to do 1 or 2 percent more damage.

But in any reasonable game, you could get significantly stronger by putting in alot of hard work and time. In this game, putting in that much is not enough always but patience to never feel like ur shortcomings each timegated week is the only real way to win outside of studying you're guides good enough and being well at adapting to the guide.

Dont' dare try to be original or have a mind of your own, you will be punished for it in this game, and treated really really bad by the community for it.
