Without the last TVR mission your Sortie muffin cap is 100k and you cannot leech a full set of +3.
You can leech one +3 at a time, then need to keep upgrading.
And you definitely cannot leech a prime weapon past stage 2.

don't need the last tvr mission to sit in sortie and leech a full set of +3, you just have the limit
if the argument is that sortie should be more accessible so the mission line can be completed, then eh.. i kind of agree on that point, but it's still dwarfed by the impact it'd have on the game
something like they did for vagary where you can fight a seperate bc against upstairs bosses would be nice. don't eat sortie timer for helpers, but only reward is a one-time stage 2 prime

the hardest mission in SOA is easier than:
delve
sinister reign
vagary
escha
omen
dyna-d
lilith
odyssey t1v0
and pretty much anything else you might get gear from.. Now this is just flat out *** lmao |

The last TVR mission is pretty difficult to clear for someone new and pretty impossible solo, and also requires you do enough Sortie to upgrade to a stage 2 weapon.

it's pretty obvious that giving fresh players a way to jump straight to the highest gear/content without contributing This this topic is centered around Sortie, let me remind you that the barrier to entry is clearing all of SoA and all of RoV, which also involves getting though a decent portion of the previous expansions as well.
The only "fresh player" in Sortie is someone who has previously been banned and knows what they're doing, and even that will still take some time. Theres no "fresh off the boat" player getting to Sortie in less than a month, and thats being generous. |

can't address the point so meme about it? got it
the only 'goalpost' i've ever made is that relaxing requirements encourages leeching which alters the progression for everyone and degrades the game
you can't make content that's too hard to sell, but price and scope still matter..

Just how much money we talking about here? I'll post pics of my hobbit feet for money. I have very little shame these days.

I would not in the least be surprised to find out Asura actually has RMT selling Aminon kills to people that just don't feel like dealing with it.

Call me a broken record but...what's to stop 2 of those "I'll just play a different game" people from teaming up and killing 1 or 2 basement bosses? How about 3 or 4 of them group up, randomly when their schedules line up, and doing 6 boss runs?
No "cult" required. A person on asura doing a shout instead of paying for it? Perish the thought!
Much easier to buy gil from the 1000+ RMT on the server than ro actually do the content.... or just cut out the middle man and buy the CONTENT from the RMT. |

Why does there seem to be some kind of animosity between official server players and private server players? I played on Horizon a back when it launched, and while I enjoyed myself it made me realize that I simply didn't have the time to really dive in like I did as a kid. Which is why the official servers are more tailored for someone like me.
I understand the appeal of both. What I don't understand is this weird rivalry. Very good chance the Venn diagrams for Public server and Private servers overlap very little, so one doesn't really affect the other, no?

After playing boss with a small business for a while. I realized the holy truth of the average worker. Essentially, only about a handful of people are getting the good pay and promotion simply because they can do the work of 2-3 people and always seem to be available for everything you need. Everyone else are expendable. If you aren't the memorable superstar, you are another cog in the machine and you can get replaced very quickly.
I've been a lead for a couple years, and this is hitting me hard now that I'm rebuilding the team from basically scratch. I've stopped more than once to think "Are my standards too high or does this person really just lack this much?".
Some days I'm doing the work of 3-4 people instead of actually leading. |

Capitalism is like PUGB or King of the Hill. Kill people, take their loot, upgrade your weapons to kill better and die with the most loot.
Such an accurate description of every attempt at communism ever made... well the killing of people and taking their loot part. Turns out people are very motivated to not "donate" their private property to a government, so that government ends up having to use guns and ditches to acquire said private property.

Yes this is just how humans are. Most will only do the bare minimum to not get fired. A handful really take pride in what they do and will push themselves, sometimes unhealthily, to solve challenges and move things forward. Good management recognizes the distinction and takes care of those highly motivated people while using the bare minimum folks to do the menial or repetitive work and make space for the super stars. Poorly managed organizations end up not doing this and cause those super stars to either become demotivated, or just leave for another place.
After a certain amount of time, every employee (including those superstars) will go home and decide if all their hardwork was worth it. Some people will make a shift and decide to work only so they can develop their passions, which could just be growing grapes in their backyard. Not everyone dreams of work from age 18-65 the entire time. |

They could put mesosiderite in there so soloers would only need millions of galli to finish their primes which should keep them logging in for a while lol.

Platted Wuchang finally, whats next on the list?

The last 3 WoCs I did I just zerged right from the get go with Yaegasumi and he dies before even getting the opportunity to use any 1 hours. I just go SAM BRD COR WHM Sylvie KingofHearts.
|
|

|

Well enough -
DD is R20 SAM, which should be more than fine. could be cor here.
tank can fulfill epeoRUN or iGEO.
whm is non-rema but well geared, can swap for non-idris geo.
brd is REA. can swap for cor here.
both cors are +8 so that's not really a factor, but only first char has R20 rp'd. latter two have always been alts.
If I can get away with holding everything on the tank and whittling away with superbuffed SAM reliably, then that's really what i'm looking to do. I might just bring people on for woc and kou just to be safe (and I don't need the drops, so it'll benefit someone, i'm sure).

How geared are you / your group? RP'd Ody gear? Empy +3?
You can definitely just zerg everything if you're lowmanning and have proper lineup with damage contributions from your BRD & COR. I've duo'd Kouryu with DRG + BRD using SV + CC and savage spamming for 99ks.
WoC you could just throw a RDM with enaero (or have a dedicated proc using Aero) to lock the dangerous 2hrs (SV for example). Enspell is easiest since you just auto attack until you proc the 2hrs you want, then push it to bracelet mode and can safely zerg from there.
There's some nuance, but that's the gist.

|
|
|
|
I'm probably overthinking it but anyone got some cliffnotes on escha AA's and gods/woc lowman comps?
Wondering how much I can get away with facerolling or what needs some degree of coordination (kouryu for sure, maybe woc? not sure about rest), since it's been so long and I genuinely don't remember the quirks otherwise.

Hello all, I want to make sure I am understanding Blood Pact Delay/potency correctly:
When using my Blood Pact Ward abilities I am at a 30 sec recast. The only way to have this lowered to 20 secs is with favor active?
You must keep 670 summing skill in both precast & midcast sets to ensure the maximize buff duration, accuracy, damage, etc?
precast only. that's when the tier matters and recast timer is initialized on avatar.
favor potency and timer delay build up together in unison to a natural cap.
wearing skill or +favor immediately bumps to current natural tier + bonus, or drops back down to current natural tier when unequipped.
Dismissal/death reset favor counter. using a bloodpact of either type boosts favor potency faster depending on MP cost. you can use a ward pact then a rage to get a better rage recast timer. |

I was gonna say have a real fun time and write it in C, but COBOL would be even better

It will not be python or lua!
I plan to have it hosted on a dedicated web page to use. With an optional lua (future development) that will parse your items and let you choose to use the full item catalog or only the items on your character.
Need to write it in Cobol or Turbo Pascal
