Best Of

Teins is funny, and Sylvi is a horrible drawer from what I can tell. even Tina calls her out when she tries to byass having to draw an elephant via drawing Tina's fridge

Love this game's story, too bad I can only read from Tein's, Harpy's, and Soma's perspective. Those are the only characters I really play.

The training program quest where Harpy steals Yuri's phone to tell Jungmi that Yuri is cheating on her was the best.

I disagree with this completely. The problem with being far behind is you always know that there is better gear and there's no point investing too much into current gear unless you're a whale. What's the point in trying for a +14/15 purification core when we now know that Beelzebub core/mods will replace them? This brings a cycle of waiting for patches and knowing everything will be replaced because as soon as you get a new core, if we're a year behind, they'll release a newer one on KR and a cycle repeats where investing in the "new" core on NA past 13 is already a bad choice unless you're a whale and can afford to invest heavily on every patch.

You literally described what pretty much every mmorpg is about, you grind the new gear from the new content until new content comes that invalidates your new gear with its own gear.

By that logic whats the point of even playing this game? why bother waiting for beelzebub raid and farm its gear if at some point a new raid will come and make it pointles?

It's a lot different when you have no news of what might be coming first. In the case of NA we have news from KR what's coming next. I have no complaints about gear progression and how gear is replaced. My complaint is the fact that since we're still fairly far behind we'll always know the lifespan of our gear. It's a lot different when you don't know when it will be replaced.

My problem is when new gear comes out on NA, we soon hear of replacements in KR. I'd rather us be closer so we don't have to hear about replacements then wait a year just to repeat the getting "new" equips just to know they have a timer on their viability a week or two once KR comes out with a better one. It feels much better when you're on the same patch or close, because you won't hear of new gear coming out until it has been released or hinted close to release on your server (NA).

tl;dr - It's more enjoyable to enhance/invest in your gear without knowing the lifespan of the gear itself. Knowing that new gear will be outdated soon after it's released on your server is not fun in any way.

As a side note; I'm fine with the pacing as long as they have plans to catch up to Korea. I'd rather they not slow down the pacing more just because those who prefer being caught up don't speak up.

Server Merges was never a good sign for Online Games as far as I remember, I know a lot of games that used the "Server Merge" as a last ditch effort before having to be closed a few months later... basically, In my perspective, I never view Server Merges as a good thing mainly because there's a precedent and (not just one) of games dying out AFTER Server Merging.

But of course, closers could be one of the few to escape the precedent. We'll see how it goes deep down in the rabbit hole.

While I agree that many player want content faster, I don't think that's the best thing to do. If we get everything as fast as possible, people wouldn't even bother to do current content when they know that content with better Gear/Accessory/Other Rewards will come a few weeks after the current content has been released.

People felt burned out in the past, when new content came out too fast.

I haven't heard of anyone saying they felt burnt out so far from new content coming out too fast.
I've only heard people getting burnt out doing the same thing over and over to farm for mats/credits everyday and not being able to use them because they have to wait for hoffman mods/beelzebub mods/cores etc to be more efficient with the hard earned credits they have.

Not everyone can drop a few hundred dollars per patch, and have to farm and save up mats and choose which equipment will last a long time to invest their hard earned credits and eb2 into them.

I read everything in closers. By far the best storyline i ever saw in a mmo.

I love reading the dialogues in this game, Tina's training program quest for the wolf raid was one of the funniest things I have seen in this game, Tina is savage af.
