just a topic to show my frustration about + 15 enchant

NibellungNibellung
in TERA PC - General Discussion
well i know that a +15 item is hard to obtain and it is a luxury and we dont need +15 to do end game content but seriously i have farmed for months to gather resources to enchant till +15.I have tried 70 times to enchant a imperator weapon and still +12. All hard work for nothing, this rng system is [filtered] and it just let people annoyed, frustraded. Guys dont get me wrong but i am really pissed /quit

    That's really unfortunate, why not sell your items instead and buy an already +15 imperator weapon?
  • AurumiKunAurumiKun ✭✭
    i agree the rng system sucks when you're going to enchant 12+ - 15+.

Sometimes I wonder how people get around in the world when they can't even hold in their frustration from such a simple thing as enchanting from a game.

    constructive criticism have been made several times in various topics by several different people and until now nothing has been done to improve the rate or at least implement the system that exists from +9 ~ + 12. I already lost my faith that someday awakened enchanting will have some improvement to lower the cost / effort and be more rewarding

    Pft less than 100 tries and whining already? My friend got almost 200 and still not +15 yet >_>

    but did he get +13 at least? cause i didnt get even +13
  • cvms3cvms3 ✭✭
    Yeah its at +14 now, I threw in some tries and no good still. Probably better to just buy it sometimes lol. I really dislike anyone needing more than 100 tries for this...
  • FleettFleett ✭✭✭✭
    The chance of enchating an item to +15 should be less than enchanting to +12, but not as low as right now. There should also be a system were after so many tries you know it'll enchant.

    if you had anything better to do in life (or in the game) you wouldnt be on his thread that you actaully dont like at all, you showed no constructive criticism or told him your experience, advice, what to do, to help....nothing you only came to vent YOUR FRUSTRATION about his thread, so whatever you wrote about him kinda goes double for you

    P.S. I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE BURN THEMSELVES AND THEY DONT EVEN KNOW IT :D

    guess he is angry because most people looking for +15 gears even for easy dungeons, elitists are everywhere. I know finding a nice guild would solve this problem but don't know which server he is in ^^

    nothing can solve this problem, people like him will always be THE CANCER OF COMMUNITY :(

    While I refrained from doing that whole +15 shenanigans, I know how it is to fail at something like this. Also, for those either not understanding, not agreeing, or pretty much implying that OP shouldn't post about this, not everyone is made the same (now before you take this comment to wrong directions, I am not implying people who Q.Q are idiots or [filtered]).. Some people more than others need vent off valves, and usually in the case of mmo games and mmo gamers, immediate friends and family are not the right people to vent off to, mostly because they wouldn't understand. So they take to forums where there's other people who know what they are talking about.

    Now. I'm also not in the position to tell people like the above disagreeing poster to not post their mind, but I can offer other alternatives like ignoring the post or the players they don't want seeing posts from. There's an ignore button on the profiles of forum members for that matter.
    inb4 the ignore button is used on me and there will be nobody to talk to about muffins anymore. >.<

    PVP was solved with Conflate Gear, but PVE ... the community likes to use people +15 even to learn the dungeon, even if that dungeon is to get your gear.

    I think it might be correct to say that the community was reduced by 20-30% compared to previous years after that +15 was introduced.

    EME can not do anything, and +15 is a goldmine for BHS even if it reduces its players by 50%

    All I can say is get better at the game and engage in end game content. It shouldn't be taking you months to gain 70 attempts worth of resources, unless you're only doing dailies. I know not everyone can just pick up a group for DSU, but to put things in perspective, clearing it gives atleast 200 mwa per run and if you get it down to farm mode, you can easily get 1-1.2k mwa in the span of 5 hours.

    >just me preaching for people to run hard stuff again :(

    I feel you homie but if this is for pvp, conflate will soon be amazing and it won't be too hard to enchant.

    Now, if this is for PVE, you probably don't need +15, now that crusades is gone. Also, PVE is lightwork.

    Well MWA monetized heavily and guessing its one of the ways Tera makes up a huge chunk of pesos. Not gunna change anytime soon and the fact that every good gold farming method gets a nerf once discovered pretty much says it all.

    If you want to get the best gear quick pay up $$$

    The alternative is to farm gear to join statics, farm hardcore dungeons, deal with RNG, complete dailies on multiple toons, ply broker, after all that still fail. It is exhausting to say the least and purposely designed this way. No longer can you just no life MWA in LOT, use fodder from KN, Nexus. Granted could still fail, but at least the process was fun/ required less work.

    They could alleviate a lot of people's frustration by introducing a failure cap on awakened enchanting. Even something as high as "after 100 failed attempts, you will automatically succeed" would be better than knowing that you could potentially try forever and never move up. This suggestion has been stated so many times that it feels redundant to say it again. Apparently kTera loves that RNG gamblegrind, so we'll probably never see an improvement in our version.

    Honestly, it's easier and cheaper (in most cases) to just save up gold and buy the weapon. Saves you the enchanting cost and the etching cost and the recipe cost. Even if it's 1 million gold, think about how much gold you'll spend before you +15 at this rate.

    Also a ranting subforum would be a great addition to this site. Thread starter clearly said he just wanted to vent, but people are jumping down his throat about it anyway because his venting isn't constructive enough. To me that indicates a problem -- namely, that in a game capable of creating such frustration, there is no place to effectively rant for ranting's sake.
