    Overall, I'm pretty happy with the gear changes this patch.

    I would agree though that certain things, like HH, not giving item XP is pretty disappointing.

    Any reason to type it in full caps ? No ? then stop doing this...
  • I like less RNG too. But one major difference I've noticed is during past patches, I'd have mid-tier complete and +12 if not the first day of patch then the second. Can't do that now, because need to exp gear or risk loosing a bunch of gold on failures. So despite the fact that grind is now real people, less RNG was the way to go.

    I'm not surprised EmE hasn't gotten rid of the ilvl cap on the tier 3 IoD bams, because consider you would be able to level mid tier armor much quicker with the item exp you earn there than anywhere else on the island.

    People are saying there is ton of RNG. here is what I'm going to say all you need is frost metal to do all the content. Quite literally there is only 24% different from guardian set and max out gear. frost metal is only 6% at + 9 as long as you farm you get the enchant 1-2 times meaning your paying 6mil for 6% damage different and 16% max hp And 4 % enrage monster boost... More like 1.2mil per item Reserved for the 1%. other wise its pretty dame fare before the 1% was 30% better then the 99%. it improved a lot... I mean ALOT 6% compared to 30%

    What I am saying. Pretend storm set doesn't exist and make frost metal for all your alts and play all roles and "Make tera alive by playing. That's how you keep a game alive is play it. instead of having 1 alt that plays for 1 day a week with there shiny stuff. why not do a "Make do amour and encourage players to play aka frostmetal set."

    This was there intent. If they didn't add storm amour set I bet a lot of the 1% would leave with there wallets too. so its a necessary evil to keep tera funded.

    There is nothing in game anymore you can't get in a reasonable amount of grind. Been testing how fast 1 alt can get from guardian to frost metal with out help from the main.

    It takes about 9 days. of funding from 2 star dungeons and having ability to craft gems. This is just to get to frost metal. to get +9 I'm till testing but its quite fare to be honest.

    In short form. Enjoy tera do content fill roles people need. This will make tera alive again and fun. More actives that go on better it is to people to play. "Just forget storm cry exists and enjoy the game.

    Like i said if you care about 16% max hp and 4 % enrage damage ad 6% base then all means enchant to stormcry set. but its not much of a differets and before you go saying its +200 per enchant its a crap ton. keep in mind a avg weapon at +9 frost metal ranges from 18k-24k soooo... your looking at a + 2k damage bost at most not even that more like 1.7k. its not a lot in perpective. now is it?

    The real rng starts at stormcry +5 or greater. that's when the grind ends sadly

    I'd be happier if
    a) item levels on top tier dungeons were a bit lower, maybe 435 instead of 439. I can't run things with most of my friends right now because their gear level is too low by just a couple of points and no one wants to run a place and not be rewarded for it.
    b) item xp could be transferred between characters. If I help a friend by doing a dungeon on my priest alt, it'd be cool if I could transfer that XP to my main.
    c) The returned dungeons weren't so watered down/easy.

    Other than that it's pretty solid.

    This is exactly a turn of events for those who could do content properly with Twisthard set.

    Before you can get Guile +12, full demense accesories, flawless brooch in the same day you got level 65, working to get a better brooch and a circlet would mean one more day doing dungeons and then you could get enought item level to even IM up to 4 star dungeons, ephemeral etchings where cheap enought to give you some boost and you could start working on BiS with your low tier gear.

    This patch has denied that to all, new and old players, now you have to grind from 0 and make progress into each tier of gear to be allowed to get BiS.

    A hassle for those who made alts to gear their main, now only thing to do with alts is boring GG and PoP that if you dont have luck then drops could be as bad as doing low tier bams.

    I fully understand the *intention* behind this, and I actually enjoy that it takes more than a day to get decent gear, but it's annoying that I can do rk9 without dying at all on my priest but I have to gear her to obscene levels just to run the dungeon and get rewarded for it with vanguards. And then to top it off, she gets item xp on gear I'd never care to gear up in the first place, while my lancer sits there craving that xp and can't have it because my friend wanted to tank instead. Just wanted to be clear; I'm not butthurt that I can't gear up in a day, because frankly I don't need the gear to do these dungeons. If anything I want ilvls to be eliminated from vanguard rewards, so that if someone clears rk9 in lower than normal gear, they don't get shafted for doing MORE with LESS.

    Actually...

    it depends on how long they want to keep this gearing system. I'd safely assume BHS intended Frostmetal+9 to be accessible to everyone who actually worked for it from scratch, because I actually got one piece to frostmetal from guardian already. Unlike the past, you just needed +0 Frostmetal vs +15 ambush to get 4 rolls without sacrificing defense from the norm midtier. Frostmetal uses way less effort compared to Ambush IMO, so I guess that is a good thing.

    I didn't really like the gear requirement for this patch though. Some of my misery alts couldn't get to midtier dungeons just because I didn't want to use the new jewelry yet (Heavens/Godsbane set combined still gives more stats than tier 2 jewelry if using mixed but has a lower ilevel) and I had to spend more money to upgrade stuff like innerwear just so I can enter 3 star dungeons.
  • StitchedSoulStitchedSoul ✭✭✭✭
    I wish they would just low the requirement to high BAMs. All the rest is fine for me.
  • And the IoD bams and solo dungeons have all been beefed up for the better gear. I have been noticing they take longer to kill, especially since we are not wearing the gear they were tuned for just as yet.

    You lost me there. Literally no one has ever accepted me in their KR party and Im full Frostmetal with pretty good jewelry. Ive been playing slayer for 4 years so I know hella good how to play my class, but oh well maybe im not being accepted because slayer is [filtered] tier right now, or thats what people has been saying lately. So all the content that Im able to do is TR normal, IoD BAMS, Ghilli and stuff like that, isnt that exciting tbh.

    Also the FWC ilvl is just too high. I used to be a 100% pvp player but I wont ever queue there because I dont want to be roflstomped by wallet warriors while wearing my equalized gear kek

    Frost metal + 9 is recommended And getting in partys is more then gear sadly
    "connections / Fam / and if person doesn't like you" I know it all well to well x.x

    zzzzzzz misunderstands everything

    I was not talking about BiS, I was talking about people gearing to BiS in a couple of days without any work. If you don't read the post, don't bother responding.

    Your reasoning makes no sense. Awakening enchanting had something like a 1-5% chance of enchanting depending on your P2W bonus, you're comparing that to 15% (that can be greatly improved) and complaining about the RNG. I don't know what you want, but I also get the feeling you couldn't answer that yourself.

    Elaborate.
  • The intention of the gear revamp is for the koreans who grind out everything like crazy.

    Also, I've seen people fail upgrading/enchanting at 100%
