Ace Dungeons (Combo Lock)
This must be the dumbest idea ever. Player's who are geared are punished for killing the BAMs too fast. My Mystic kills them in 1-3 hits so I get a C rank for combo but S+ for being untouched.
And don't say, well just don't choose combo lock task. I chose random because it gives 10% more credits. Am I supposed to take off all my jewelry and buffs if I get combo lock task? Who at BHS thought this task would be a good idea? O.o

Poor Berserkers.
Yeah but... if you get 10% more credits with random, but you aren't playing a character with high combos, what are you really gaining by not choosing the best task for your class?
Whats the point in having 3 options when the class you play can only accept 2 of them. Whats the point in restricting content to certain classes?
Maybe i dont want to rush the dungeon to get a below 3m clear on my zerker, but instead just want to relax with a combo run and try not to get hit?
Then you can do it. There's no rule that says you have to min/max in order to enjoy yourself.
What if I find min-maxing to be most enjoyable? Where's the list of rules for enjoying the game and who exactly wrote it?
What if i dont want to gimp my own rewards because i want to play the game differently?
I change my weapon for an idoneal or a lower level one if I happen to get the Combo option by going randomized. What's the big deal? It's rather fun that way. The only case in which I'd be screwed is when it gives me the timer + combo pair. But that just means bad RNG luck, I wouldn't complain.
Do not forget, the new Ace dungeon isn't a mandatory content, but simply another thing for the players to enjoy. If you don't even understand that and fail to find it enjoyable going by the rules, maybe you shouldn't do it.
As someone nicely pointed out, if your intention is to farm, this new content is nowhere near satisfactory for that purpose, and you would have better luck doing something else. Plus, I wouldn't even call the items from the Ace shop "rewards". They're nothing but a form of compensation to tag along the fun. It's one of those things you don't really care or rush to get but will surely get in time. And when you do, it makes you smile. Therefore, if it's farming you want and this dungeon isn't worth your time when it comes to rewards, don't do it. Simple?
And for those who are interested:
My ninja gets 150 (S+ rank) combos easily after 2 bosses with a lv50 weapon, then i switch it back to my +15 and yoloswag through the rest.
My warrior gets 150 after only 2 bosses, too. Sometimes even one boss + some mobs will do. Then same as ninja, the rest is just faceroll.
Brawler sucks a little bit, but it's totally doable.
Gunner is plain faceroll. every auto hit on a mob would count.
*Known issue: Combo count sometimes stops for unclear reason.
Basically, it applies for every class. If you want to achieve S+ rank combo, drop your attack by using another weapon.
As I mentioned, the only time you're screwed is when the timer and combo options are paired together. And when that happens, I prioritize the time over combo. Out of 20 runs across all my characters in one day, I've only been unlucky 3 times to get the Timer + Combo combination. Small loss in return for some big fun and gain, I'd say?
And since going randomized is at your own risk, why would you complain? How old are you? If you can't enjoy a game as it is then maybe..gtfo and don't play it? Simple~
Quit complaining just because you don't like something and are unwilling to apply viable methods due to your petty little pride and nonexistent patience. This dungeon is for players who enjoy casual PvE fun and aren't narrow-mindedly focused on gaining huge rewards. =]
Other players want to play real classes.
It will take total of 5 hours of your time to run through a dungeon 100 times- which is roughly 20000 credits. If this sounds little, consider the generous amount of Tokens you get on top of that- as they will let you buy Shadowgates and Glyph boxes easy and cheap.
You don't see the war, brawler, gunner I wrote? Or you want me to list my slayer or zerker for argument's sake?
It's called summarizing the point, so I didn't write them all out.
... Oh, I haven't done it on my reaper/archer/sorc/lancer. If that's what's bothering in you, I'm sorry~
Yes, the chance of getting the Timer+Combo pair is 1/3, which is quite huge. But with a much greater chance of 2/3 for getting a good pair, Bam Sham+Combo or Bam Sham+Timer, in which you're pretty certain to get a double S+ if you don't suck. So I wouldn't complain.
if you really doubt your luck, and it's the rewards you want, then just don't pick random to avoid ever getting Timer+Combo. And as someone already said it for us: She meant to not choose random.
Priceless wisdom. Thank you!
