I could pull the trigger on upgrading to Siren, but I have been waiting on stones to drop back down to or under 5g.
Black lives matter.

I haven't bothered yet because my FM already does ludicrous damage, and I really don't get much money atm. Also I used a lot of it twinking out my leveling experience on the new char.
I have a couple of my characters in Crimson Legion because I can't get into Cerulean, so when I do play them I'm not even in the clan.

I try to do at least a few dailies every day but that's about it. The bulk of my playtime is reserved for weekends and last weekend was Division beta, soooooo...
I'm honestly gunning more to try and finish just the story (yes yes I'm really behind) before the Division launches so I can feel better about vastly scaling back my playtime in this.
Also seeing the bot swarms grow and grow, especially in trying the Big Four dailies when I actually bother to do those. What are people's feelings on those? I've seen a lot of groups have people leave and effectively disband the party once they realize a bot is in the group and after 3-4 iterations of that, I'm honestly fine with just carrying a single bot through for the sake of getting the dungeon done.
bad wrist posture has killed my left wrist and so I stopped playing. But I tried something out today and took a screenshot before changing it to something else. so here:

Wait what the fuck did I really just get taken out by a mook with a two by four on walking into a tent?
Game plz
edit: And we go from that all of a sudden to the endgame and winning against Demon!Yura? The fuck?
RIP Iksanun, you ran out of disguises at the wrong time. But you kind of deserved it for raising such a stupid kid, I guess!
That's because some players were running the dungeon non-stop for the stones that drop. An assassin could easily enter solo, stealth through and SS until they reach the boss, then steal solo kill the boss. Repeat.

Yeah 4 to 5 minute clears were the norm, for two of those tears or whatever it is that drop every time. They are worth at least a gold if not more? So like 15+ gold an hour easy.
As per usual, those people are still using the excuse that because the GAME let them do it, clearly they could never be punished for doing so. Clearly.
Gameguard is back, surely that will be their solution to all the botting. Just you wait, March 2nd, no more bots! ....Yeah I totally believe them. Not.
As long as there is trading and a player economy there is going to be bots. It's direct competitor, black desert online, is also plagued by bots. WoW, with a Blizzard size budget, can't smite the bots.
So B&S's game systems are clearly built around bots being an ever present hydra and minimizing their damage to players. It sucks that you have to wade through them to clear the entry levels of 1v1 but think of it as fancy training dummies for players.

It's not entry levels when you can practically get to. Plat entirely off bots. The ranks are skewed into almost all people who have a general idea how to play being 1750 or higher off bots, and enough bots squeak up there that you can slowly climb to plat with minimal effort.
Also I have seen before in any game not wow, when there is that many bots done people will leave cause they don't enjoy the PvP, then as there is a higher concentration of bots, people with slightly more tolerance leave, and it keeps happening till it's almost all bots. Personally I fear that because no matter how much I live this game, without people to fight PvP will suck.
Well, it was FUCKING CLOSE, 30s left on the clock or so before enrage, but I beat Junghado with my Assassin! And got Bodyguard to drop first try lol my outfit luck is pure evil.

was that an intentional reference or do you not know bodyguard is a pure evil recolor?
How active is the clan now that tings have settled down a bit? I was originally playing on another server as a friend was playing there. She's since stopped playing or at least slowed down a bunch (she's in a hardcore raiding guild in WoW, I can understand only having time for 1 MMO).
Regardless, I was thinking of switching over to the PA clan server on Wednesday when the Warlock drops. I've played a few of the classes, and gotten BM and FM to ~20 each, so I'm not losing too much progress. And Warlock looks so cool. I really enjoyed FM and look forward to trying Warlock out.

It has been pretty slow, honestly. At best we had 3 regulars including myself. I have been leveling another character on the side.
I had suggested if we would want to take those of us still planning to play for the long haul and look into finding another group of people to have more activity for everyone to not be bored. I think though the fact the game is pretty solo friendly means no on really care for or needs that option?
I still plan on playing and see no loss of interest coming any time soon, weather PA is active in the game or not.
Leveling a new class to 45 gets an upgrade bundle of various tokens and the costume in the next 3 weeks. Subsequent classes to 45 get an additional copy of the warlock costume if you're so inclined to level multiple characters.
To level quickly: Don't waste time on the Wheels(except for weapon upgrades) and do every quest. Use Cross-Server Dungeon to hit all the dungeon dailies as you come across them, it's a nice bit of XP and can break the monotony a bit. If you have a levelled character, buy some XP soup and pick it up in the mail with your lower character.
If you're going to put a fourth weapon slot on your weapon, do it as soon as you get the Blight upgrade from Blackram Narrows. The cost of opening that 4th slot only goes up.
I've heard the most efficient way to powerlevel is to find instances that are target-rich, eat some dragon soup, then chain through them as fast as possible repeatedly.

If you are 30 you can't afford them with IG money (they are on the marketplace)
They can be bought on the hongmoon store but they are... quite a bit of Ncoin.
If you were going with soups, you would need to be very good at doing AOE vs significantly higher level mobs. Something that might not be reasonable without perfect play or having high level gems on your new char.
If you DO have a max level char with good funds, the soups are about 1.3 - 1.8 g on the market (likely to be skyrocketing now) and you can get a few gems that make levels up to around mid thirties almost a joke. Mainly the yellow gem that lifesteals on stunned / KD enemies, lifedrain amethyst, and an attack power diamond. A good 4th gem is the green one that gives invuln and a crit buff when you evade, which is likely to happen at least once when you start AOEing a pack. If you wanted to purposely induce this, you could get a diamond with lots of evade for early levels. That would likely shoot your crit chance up high enough that Amethyst would proc all the time.
If you want to see true silly, get that yellow and purple gem, an added damage diamond (for the cheaps) on a blade dancer, and just hit their knockdown and spin a few times. Numbers man, numbers.

And I hadn't actually thought about there being bots in dungeons and pvp, but that explains a lot. So many free wins.
Well, the Legion does have cooler looking uniforms. So you have that going for you.
I'll be back afterwards though!

With Cerulean being full anyways we should just make a crimson clan. Deepcrow Form.

On that note, I hear we're getting the super nerfed lock. Wonder how many people will stick with it after experiencing the pvp struggle.
I'm dead serious."
FWIW, soulstone prices seem to finally be crashing a bit. Seeing them dropped down to 22s per.
Finally messing around with Mushin's Tower. I can get through 1-6F no problem, can't really make much headway with Junghado just yet unfortunately.
forward thinking man
I have no idea if bns is doing well or not so I'm not being serious about bns being dead

Any tips for leveling a (new) character to 45 by the 23rd? I really want that outfit...
Leveling a new class to 45 gets an upgrade bundle of various tokens and the costume in the next 3 weeks. Subsequent classes to 45 get an additional copy of the warlock costume if you're so inclined to level multiple characters.
Edit:
3 weeks to hit 45 with nightly play should be doable (if not distracted by new releases...)

Eh, that's easily doable just with normal questing. The pvp dailies are good for this too, especially the 3v3.
