I understand many of you won't agree with my stance on eclipse and gatekeeping. I have been on both sides of this. In KR the KR whales have been doing the same thing to all western players. They had eclipse and they gatekept everyone with their mega zergs, but did we cry and complain about it? We didn't, we grouped up, made our own alliances and fought for the bosses. But it seems on global most grouping up you guys can do is going on reddit and complain until amazon is forced to fix it. If you put 10% of complaining effort into trying to fight, you might get some loot. EDIT - I am fine with the changes amazon is doing, don't get me wrong. I want this game to have longevity and if these changes to eclipse help retain players and help non hardcore players get more loot I am happy for that. I just don't think that complaining 24/7 on reddit and twitter is a right and healthy way to force changes from amazon. Other than that, if this makes people happy I am all for it.
It doesn’t help that riftstones take place in the middle of the day for us in NA, which is totally unhinged. You’re never going to get a guild of functioning adults together at 4 pm to do a massive guild raid on a Wednesday. Most people are still at work for hours beyond that. The game is catered to people who have nothing else going on in their lives; we have every right to complain about these issues. If riftstones were at 7-8pm, it would at least be accessible to most people.
It's hard to do that when the game is international. 7 Russian zergs vs random individuals from random countries. It's hard to group people up that don't speak the same language when your enemy is generally from the same region. They should implement regions.
It's a double edged sword, yes rank 1 kill player should not be cucked because majority of casuals are mad they can't enter peace world bosses, on the other side without those same casuals the game would be dead, they are 90% of the player base.
I don’t give a flying F. A game this massive isn’t going to cater towards a few hundreds players who like to gate keep a PEACEFUL world boss, when you got thousands upon thousands of other players who are going to those events expecting a PVE environment. There’s CONFLICT bosses, arenas, PVP events, boons etc for you to enjoy PVP…. But you have to understand that there’s PVE too. If not why even have dungeons and PVE events when (like you said) this is a PVP game. The description of the game when I downloaded said “A free-to-play MMORPG in a dynamic world with massive scale PvP and PVE”, so if I want to PVE and not engage in any type of PvP is my prerogative. So the best thing the devs can do is add those portals so players like me can avoid those basement dwellers like the plague. Let them play with each other while the rest of the population goes about their business, enjoying the game however they want.
@@pikausp There are several reasons: 1) Functional adults cant play during most of the day, so most of us can only play during 1 maybe 2 worldboss rotations and if one of those becomes locked its just over. 2) Syleus closes at night and eclipses completly blocking of ALL guilds no matter what. 3) The drop chances for items are handled differently between peaceful and combat bosses, so if a peaceful boss is basically converted into a combat boss the lack of unallied players massively increases the chances for a good dropchances for the eclipse initiators. 4) If a game doesnt cater towards 99% of its playerbase its going to die within a few months. Just look at new world to see what i mean.
Yes this is a PVP game, but the eclipse is without any doubt the most toxic feature of the game and should not impact peace bosses. It's a really self serving opinion to have when you're literally max gear and are in a zerg guild alliance, you clearly a spent a lot of money and time, 500 hours in a month is ridiculous. Also you're actually wrong, people did complain in KR, but the culture is vastly different in terms of P2W... maybe do some research before blatantly lying. I wouldn't be surprised if you delete this comment to save your ego. If you take a step back and don't actually buy all the packs and play as F2P and join a smaller guild, see how much fun you have waiting to do sanctum or otherwise bosses that rarely spawn in those instances and a eclipse occurs, even with 3000 CP 1000 evasion you will not have fun.... You are part of the problem that is the ecosystem of zerg guilds and mega whales.
1. A pvp item is being used to screw over literal pve content / players. (This is NOT what this item was intended to be used for) 2. Dude, it has already been proven that most if not all of those mega guilds including the people who have those skills like “eclipsing” have been farming bots for kills and have been cheating when it comes to gaining guild reputation or abusing the system to get ahead. It’s all over UA-cam. I’m sorry but I do not agree with some of the stuff on this video. And this is coming from a HARDCORE PVP guy. NO GAME is going to survive off of hardcore players only. There HAS to be a balance between PvP and pve players or the casuals will leave and the game dies. Let’s be honest as much as I would like the game to be fully PvP hardcore players, it’s not and no game is. Casual players make up the majority of players in mmorpgs. It has always been this way.
I’m OCE and have to play on Japanese servers.. try fight these mega zergs with 300+ ping as well… The main guild forever owns zombie town for like 4 weeks straight now. They have no competition but with each other. They main Zerg all new players trying this new events to them. Untill they get one tapped and be like fuck that shit I’m out! Game is so good, but the pay to win and fighting 300 credit cards is a joke.
I dont mind the changes, the point of my rant about eclipse is that getting things changed by crying and complaining every day isn't the healthy way. I want the game to survive and have longevity and if making it more PVE does that Its fine.
I don't agree with 1. but I do agree with 2. Eclipse was designed to actually gatekeep open world dungeons. What else it is used for if not for that? To turn off the sun because it looks cool? There is no other use for it.
Just remove the whole alliance feature and limit the amount of ppl that can enter a conflict zone from each guild to like 50. At the end of the day this game just comes down to who has the most numbers
yall are tripping it would lose so many players if they did that, reason the game is even played this much is because zerg v zerg is like no other game. my server helpie has 2 big 4 alliance zergs that fight every day and there are still some smaller guilds that come in and get some action and loot. making it a free for all makes it to where the boss in any conflict zone will never die because you cant properly dps the boss.
@@brexity603 All comes down to players who are willing to want change. I never think its too late either, even if top guild has been in control for weeks at a time. Players will catch up to their gear score and the few players who may have an archboss weapon won't be the difference maker. Boils down to who can be more strategic.
They have to adapt to the global audience, the KR version is basically dead and their only hope is global, that's why they are listening so quick. The bigger portion of the population are casual players, if you gatekeep them of content, they just quit, just like in KR, the only ones playing there are the hardcore players now.
I100% agree with the time schedule change. All major events should start at 6 in the afternoon and end around 11:12 midnight. Because that's when majority of players the adults are actively able to play if they have anytime at all and if they want to still I keep a player base during the day. It can be around 6 7 in the morning until four in the afternoon for all of the kitties, and people that aren't adults.
complaining about guild allaince zerg and defending eclipse is the stupidest thing i ever heard. ur using 1 argument for the first and then saying get over it on the next u need to hear urself before u start talking
We have people in top 10 kills on our server that are not in the 5 guild zerg currently fucking over the server. It should be a good reward for reaching that insane goal and should be rewarded. After this change what is it used for? To go invis for 30 seconds? Kinda dumb if you ask me
100% agree. There should be no alliance system at all. Zergs literally just make it so the 4 top guilds have an enjoyable time with open world pvp events while the other 196 guilds don't even bother because there's no point in going to the meatgrinder. There's not enough territory in the game yet for an alliance system to be needed anyhow.
You got some L takes ngl, partly because you are privileged to be a hardcore player. Eclipse shouldn't be a "boss-gatekeeper" for PEACE bosses. Good on Amazon for realising this and making a change. If anything the game needs MORE ways to GRIND loot, not more RNG and pandering to the established zerg alliances/top guilds. This game has amazing potential, and zergs don't see it because they want immediate satisfaction of dominating servers. Small guilds need a fighting chance or this game will end up cannibalizing itself to obscurity.
Eclipse can only be used once per day, meaning they can only gatekeep once, all bosses are available in organised guild raids if you REALLY need the loot. All other loot can be attained extremely easily by abusing pity system which is amazing as I've maxed one toon and almost another with no real money being spent. Don't forget all world boss gear will be available once T2 dungeons come out. No excuse for all you "RNG SUCKS" players. Lol.
Ive been on the other end of the gatekeeping in KR. KR whales hated western players and they kept doing the same thing. But guess what, we made our own alliance, grouped up and fought them. Surely didnt cry to NCSoft to remove it.
@@spicy5845 but you are talking about alliances gate keeping world bosses, of which all are available in guild raid lmao, can't gatekeep a guild raid boss for junobote, aridus, nirma etc, so wtf are you yapping about
I was on the other end in KR. KR whales gatekept western players from every content they could, even kicking us from dungeons and leaving dungeon parties.
@@Basileus1986 did you hear what you are telling? why he should regret to use ALLOWED and CREATED for this mechanics? NC Soft created Eclipse for this. To make top loot hard to get. And to be a part of big and/or very powerfull guild, so you can get this drop earlier. Or you need harvest trouses to farm dng?:D
@@kiyoshikaze2606 you can farm guild raid bosses every week and since casual guilds wont be full of active players dividing loot will also be easier. But nobody has patience they just want it now and they want it all for no effort and no time invested.
some really good points in here, my personal favorite is the max mana and hp after death, its especially annoying in dominion events where u just spawn with half ur mana hp without any way to gain it back I also hope killing a peace boss would reset cooldowns so u can immediately swap to pvp set, more of a niche one Tanks are insane yeah, give daggers or bows some % max hp damage at this point to be able to deal with them lol Death timer is so and so, in my experience its almost always a wipe into regroup, not a continuous ongoing fight, some bosses like syleys abyss fb also have 3 min sprints to them already
Megaguilds controlling riftstones, guild wars,... it's bad but eclipse controlling world bosses it's good. Logic... in my server outside the top 3 guilds (which are in alliance) no body has ever touched Junebote, outside of guild raid. Why implement into the world the game boss? There are boss that are in conflict and some that are peace. Imagine playing PVE, you are almost maxed out but you do not like PVP and you have 3-4 hours empty because of empty hour, gigantrice and all boss conflict because of eclipse.
IMO, the biggest issues are rmt, botting , the lacking of skill presets. Now, on my server, the person with the eclipse keeps switching on purpose, so it can be used more times, since the cd resets once it changes the ownership. I'm mostly a pve player and I don't mind the pvp on bosses. Another thing that bothers me a lot is someone being able to invite you to groups even if you are already in a group. One thing that I believe will have lots of complaints is after the siege, when the a guild takes the sollant and lucent from the castle, the big alliance and whales getting even richer will make many uninstall. World boss dies way too fast, it should scale better.
There are peace bosses and there are conflict bosses, it has a design that is meant to be fair, it is designed this way for a reason. You can pvp if u want, but u are not forced. Getting repeatedly one shot by swipers is not fun and will kill the game for many players.
@FRESHY_GG they are peace bosses for a reason. For people that don't want to participate in pvp.. thats like me saying there are other conflict bosses for you to fight.
I ain't complaining. I enjoy pvp. Bdo is worse. Played for 3years. Imagine being at a "peace" boss and dude flags up. Lol. Or, the enemy rolls up deep. This game at least you HAVE actual peace bosses. Bdo has zergs as well. So idk the issue.
not even salty. just wanted to share my opinion on it. Ive been on the other end as well in KR getting gatekept by KR whales, but I never complained about it
@@FRESHY_GG Yea man when someone from the opposite side share his opinion about the eclipse then this individual is crying and complaining but yours isn't.
@@Asmonfolld hahaha you are so damn right! this video is only crying about not be able anymore to farm hunderts of unprepeared players in pve gear and skillset xD
I do agree eclipse is a PVP mechanic and we should just work against it and all, but I have to say it's just dumb sometimes, for example this happent yesterday in my server on the 8pm bosses: - Peace bosses: Nirma, Aridus, Junobot - Conflict bosses: Kowazan, not sure of the other maybe Morokai 1) So Junobote was out of the question because there was no rain for another 50minutes. 2) Nirma and Aridus are both on Syleus Abyss, that closes at night, so you already know what happens next (eclipse, duh)... That left every PVE player out of peaceful world bosses, at PRIME TIME on a SUNDAY. And to make matters worse, the alliance that eclipsed ended up going to Kowazan to show everyone they're the boss, Aridus and Nirma were left unkilled. From your video, I see that you come frome an Hardcore PVP player's perspective, so I'm trying to share an example that completely ruins a PVE player experience. Not everyone plays 4hr+ hours daily, some people were excited or planned their day for the 8pm bosses only to be blocked out by hArDcOrE pVp pLaYeRs that tought it was funny to cancel the whole world boss experience for everyone. Anyways we know this will be fixed, against your will, I'm just adding another perspective, thanks for the video.
there is no point telling this guy anything he has a dumb whale brain and only gonna tell you "there are other bosses" or "i was at the receiving end in KR" he doesnt come up with anything else
For me its simple. Make the game 70x70 or 140x140 and its done. We dont need 400x400. Its stupid, doesnt look good, doesnt feel good to play in. 70x70 will give u a chance to setup your guild with the right classes and make sure that your gameplay will count in order for you to have success...
I like the small scale GvG idea, but what I'd really want is a dedicated riftstone or other siege pvp scenario for randoms that you can play all day long. I really liked the large scale pvp in GW2 and Elder Scrolls online since you could just join in as a random. I'm in a small guild with friends and I know that we'll never participate in the riftstone battles with a mainly pve guild, but I also don't wanna miss out on the large scale pvp. The zerg pvp at conflict bosses is just a mess for randoms
I disagree with your opinion on the eclipse changes and honestly, your wording there is not really likeable. So, players (like myself) are "crying in masses", because we dont want to be ganked on, when we do the peace-zone world bosses. I could now interpret, that someones feelings are really hurt, because the wet dreams are over. Or am I wrong here? The last time I checked it, I decide on how I want to play the games I play, with the possibilities the game offers to me. If I dont like something, I dont participate in it. Well, big surprise, I don't force others to play the game the way I want them to play. I have a different impression of you. TL has PvP elements, it has PvE elements. There is content for both sides. I dont play PvP because of the P2W aspects. Why should I wast my time and fight whales? Why should I spend time to group up with others and then try to fight the whales, if I dont want it? To each his own, and yes, you can speak respectfully about players who have a different opinion.
On the longbow does the Whirlpool work for you, mine doesnt show on the floor anymore since the first patch nore gives me the buffs such as speedup when i specialize into Whirlpool? The other spells affected by whirpool such as the knockback on Zypher Knock does not knock back the target anymore, nore do the other affected spells from whirlpool trigger theire corresponding effect for me when specializing into them in the skill tree. The whole Whirlpool Mechanic is broken in other words since patch 1 but worked on Day 1.
I agree with you on MOST of these comments except the Eclipse. Large PvP guild alliances abusing the eclipse system to BLOCK players who want to do PEACE bosses is a big issue on my server. There are conflict and peace bosses so everyone has a chance to fight world bosses. Abusing the eclipse system to take them all for the mega guild alliances IS a problem. They need to deal with the root of the problem which is the large PVP guild alliances. AGS and NC want to appeal to all players, not just PvP players in order to make the game fun for everyone which will make them more money. but it's like the old saying goes.. You can't please everyone all of the time..
@@FRESHY_GG Yeah same for PvP bosses.. How would YOU feel if Players had say an option to, and maybe this is an idea for devs, to use a weather affect to counter the eclipse and force it to be say a BLUE moon and suddenly there was no PvP allowed anywhere or similar... you got all setup to do a conflict boss and BLAMMO it's a blue moon and your conflict boss gets overrun by PvE players and you CAN'T KILL THEM...-gasp-...
peace bosses are useless, u'll not get loot if u dont gatekeep or do conflict. The more people at a peace boss the less likely u will get a drop (and dont get me started on the participation box, its 0.3%)
the biggest problem is flashwave spam at conflict bosses, insane range, super safe and u hit 20+ people with it easily AND you can cast it back 2 back? wtf man
Good video man, I fully agree with most of the things you said. Imo the priority is really about the movement, combat and mini stutters, they need to smooth this out. I thought many of the bad feelings about combat was due to KR ping but now I can see that it's the game itself. And I also fully agree regarding eclipse, it's a shitty change. One alternative could have been that the outside portal is a unique instance, if you decide to take it you will be in the same instance as all the people taking it. So alliances can still fight for the boss control and the full loot.
I hear alot of people say that this is a pvp game, well is it really? 90% of the loot is from pve activities this might ofc change down the line with tier 2 etc, but as of right now with tier 1 you actually get nothing from killing another player except for a number as far as i know
The eclipse take is so bad tf you mean players grind hard to stop pve players from access to peace boss. Thats such a dumb take, they grind for conflict zones if they want pvp they can do it at night or during conflict bosses. There isnt much PVE left, don't make it less. Its already a heavy pvp game.Horrible take
@@FRESHY_GG Why don't people who like pvp just wait until night time for pvp? You realise that someone who's at work during most of the day might only be able to do a boss 1 time which might be gatekept by a zerg. When it's supposed be a peace boss with no pvp
@@FRESHY_GG Wow I just went through a couple of your replies and you are very closed minded. What about the people who need to do a specific boss to get a specific type of loot? So it makes sense for you to have a Zerg alliance of 400 people, specifically geared towards PVP, stump over PVE players who are just there to PVE? That’s like saying you own a restaurant that sells pizza and hotdogs, you do an analysis where you can see most of your clientele is there to eat pizza, but you got a bunch of fanatics who dressed up like hotdogs and give you all the flowers for making the best hotdogs in town. What do you do? Do you start making more hotdogs for those couple of hundreds who sings praises for your weenies or you keep making more pizza for those thousands of costumers who are there to eat a proper pie?
They really need to do what guild wars does and only accept 1 guild with a higher player limit so you can fight other zergs as a guild, the alliances system definitely needs to be butchered for this.
Eclipse is a really good concept, and people gatekeeping are also really fine, it makes it more fun actually, but it is so unfair when u are a small guild and is up against a massive alliance with most geared 300 players in the server. Its the concept of not having a chance to fight back or do anything about it makes people complain unless you join a big alliance as well! No not happening, i will rather do guild raid with the bois.. I would suggest a raid party separate from 6 man party like in GW2.. Great video though!
Regarding the eclipse... its an easy fix. Devs can just add a new boss that requires the eclipse in order to kill it. That way both parties are happy. PvE players are happy because they can now enjoy Peace Junobote, Aridus and Nirma. Top 1 PvP guild and others is also happy as they have a new boss that they can only access using the eclipse.
@@FRESHY_GG Not a bad idea but with this mindset I'm kinda sure they will eventually start complaining about the fact that those specific drops are coming from the "Eclipse boss only" and it's not fair for casual players.
@@ne1tu660 What I really don't understand is how the 1% (or even less for what i know) chance to get that specific drop from that specific boss is in any way game breaking for most of the people. Considering you can use Eclipse once a day you are losing like what, 0.2% of getting a loot? The game is designed to be pvp oriented and I see why people is frustrated about all this eclipse or giga zerg stuff but at the end of the day all this shit takes effort. Whatever is manage an alliance/guild made by 200 ppl or farm kills to get the eclipse (even tho i do agree there is a lot of botting involved) it takes time and a lot of work and I can't see why people committing and using their time and energies into this don't have to be rewarded. I feel like , like it's always been on every other mmo i playied, people will always find something to complain about, if we are discussing about taking actions vs bots or something shady i'm all up for it but complaining for something wich is legit and made on purpose from the devs seems a bit out of my scope of comprehension.
Fellow Bow/dagger enjoyer here, the Limit Break does enhance the Decisive Sniping. If you look at 14:24 you'll see you hitting for 19.8k afterwards it keeps hitting for 3099. That's what Limit break on Decisive Sniping does, it adds a DOT on the target depending on your charge :D
well then this goes back to my previous issue of tooltips on skills not being correct and not explaining it well. I never noticed this. Thank you. I still don't think 3k extra damage is worth the 10 skill points.
@@FRESHY_GG No problem, also it's not just 3k. It lasts for a few seconds, think 4-6 seconds/ticks? Have a look yourself, it's OK for say a world boss to get extra damage in in the second snipe, but as you said the 10 points makes hardly worth it imo. Glad you mentioned the tooltips because there's several things tooltips are bad at explaining. Like our poison says "coats our daggers etc. the following attacks stacks poison" It specifies daggers but any weapon works which is fantastic synergy with some skills in pve.
Here are the steps to make this games pvp better. 1- Remove the ally guild feature 2- Limit the max guild member count to 50. 3- There should be more conflict bosses spawn at the same, so pvp action will be present at many different places at the same time. This will cause less player to attend one certain conflict boss, consequently to a fair PvP experience, and also avoid massive FPS drops. Any player that took part in a scheduled conflict boss will be restricted to enter other conflict boss event that present in the same time. For example I attended talus conlict event at 21.00pm. My character will be restricted to enter Adentus conflict event at 21.00pm.
for dungeons queues, I was thinking there needs to be a 5 minute CD for rejecting a Random dungeon queue. spending 2-3 minutes of the window continually popping is annoying and helping no one. either queue for the dungeon you want, or just accept the first thing that pops. For leaving dungeons, there needs to be a 10 minute leaver penalty. Also annoyed people leave right after joining. Though, they should also give some small rewards to mid-dungeon bosses. Something like 100k sollant, or some blue gear with chance at purple gear(Im thinking "resistance" gear here, not dungeon boss loot). something to make those mid-dungeon bosses a little more worthwhile. having all the good loot tied to the final boss is fairly annoying.
I haven't looked into it too much so it may already be the case but I think the kill should reset every week or month so eclipse has a chance to rotate amongst more players/guilds because it will be literally impossible for anyone who is new to the game to get the eclipse, Also to help.with balance without being to crazy could be a cool down on when you can get stunned/rooted like you can only be stunned every 10 seconds I've seen other games use this and it works quite well I don't know if it's happened with others but every now and then my decisive snipe will just cancel it self, I'll be in pvp with someone they will be within range I'll charge my snipe and then it will just stop my root will wear off and the player either attacks me or runs off, it's happened alot to me
I think the eclipse change was needed as half of all the bosses are already PVP, excluding the more casual and pve crowd from drops already. As well as it being brought more in line with the power of the other transcendent skills. It was far superior to the value of the others and they effectively didn't change the functionality of the skill itself, just circumvented its abuse on people who didn't want to pvp. Also, you apparently don't follow patch notes from Korea, because they have already addressed the tanky/bruiser issues in small and large with changes to mages to be able to break down those geared tanky frontlines. All in all, you had some good takes, but the fear that they will fundamentally kill pvp because they aren't rewarding the already strongest players with more ways to bully the casual crowd is a hot take imo.
So many working and good stuff was in Lineage 2, why they didn't put them into T&L? Like: Ally chat; Expanding Guild member count; War tag that the other guild can accept, or ignore; karma system with permanent PvP zones; Quest for a token for entry the big bosses, etc. Also one of the biggest issue is the world boss system right now. They need to add way more gates, the current ones are overpopulated as hell, decreasing the drop chances almost to 0 and makes players angry/sad choosing not worth the effort and time to participate on them. Another problem that many of us is experiencing regardless of their system and internet connection (decent pc with gigabit optical internet) is the co-op dungeons are sometimes lagging and desync occurs many times (maybe not enough resources are dedicated to these instances at server side? ).
Love your content! your guide videos are easy to understand and don't waste time. I don't really know all about the macro side of things with this game. I dont know what happens in KR, I dont really care about how much this title is PVP or PVE, but its a beautiful game. Me and my friends are always trying out MMOs to play together. We didn't really know what the eclipse thing was until we tried to fight Junobote, and we all got eclipsed and slaughtered. We were all "WTF it said peace right??" after that, we learned what eclipse was. lol But i guess the devs took all the "crying and complaining" and changed something because at the end of the day, it's a lot feedback that they felt could disrupt player retention/revenue. I've been trying to get my friends to come back since that day lol
Eclipse isn't an issue for me, what is an issue, is that when you die in an open world dungeon, you should respawn at the dungeon's waypoint as long as you've unlocked it, not back in town. And no open world dungeon should ever be closed, including Sanc. Then Eclipse wouldn't be a big deal. You die, respawn with immunity, run to portal.
eclipse has no value if you can just respawn inside the dungeon, what are u talking about? The whole purpose of using it is to get people tped out from the dungeon and gate keep portals till last few seconds so only ur guild can get the drops
I completly agree on the dungeon lock opinion. This way it is just frustrating, If it would stay opened, even after getting ganked I would head back for some pvp and have some fun even after got beat up again.
@@BLINKerlei are we playing the same game? You are respawning in town after you die in Death's Abyss or Tyrant's Isle? If so then you broke the game...
well , if its a feature then sure , just keep the good PEACE boss for ur self by those eclipse , ill just leave the game , and i think MANY casual players will not waste their time on a game like that , good luck on camping till the game dead its all yours
@@FRESHY_GG bro did the other boss have the stuff i want , and can i play at that time? Normal ppl only have 2 to 3 hours a day to play after work, some even less, and they usually the one who spend to faster catch up with others if they like the game, this could make them absolutely change their mind and leave, hardcore ppl is not the one spending much at all, since they can farm a lot, where will the game get money from, absolutely no where, no money will make the game becoming bad overtime and die soon
@@FRESHY_GG bro can you even hear yourself? repeating same dumb shit again and again "i was on the other end in KR" or "you have 4 other peace bosses you can go to" if the item i need drops from this one specific boss that too with huge RNG and i cant do it not even once cause the top guilds keep using eclipse without a delay every single time then what someone is suppose to do? there's already a huge gap between people who played on KR with every bit of knowledge they had and people who never even watched a single guide or video on this game and not to mention how this game punishes you for making mistake regarding gear upgrades skill upgrades and so on and fixing those mistakes takes time causing more gap between the hardcore sweaty pig basement dwellers and a casual player and on top of all that all we have top guilds gatekeeping....honestly with the kind of mindset whales like u and others have i really hope this game dies as soon as possible then you guys can enjoy your circle jerk party gatekeeping each others tiny pps
Unfortunately this game is not skill based. Its numbers based. Top 10 Guilds build alliances because why not? Why would you fight each other when you can farm all other guilds together. If you are a whale in this game, you get every item without playing the game and you are way ahead of everyone else who has to play the game to get the same items relying on world boss drops that wont drop because you dont do nearly as much dps as the whales because that is the way loot drop works. Everything is time gated and then gated by the top guilds with eclipse. The game is not fun at the current state because it has no fun content. Its just grinding hours and hours for nothing. Doing dungeons doesnt yield and profit. Same for open world dungeons. Only thing thats worth lucent is world boss loot which you cannot get because of the above reasons. This game will soon die for the better and only exists because there are no sufficient alternatives. I played it for over 400 hours and it just sucks. So many people quit the game because there is no fun content you can do together. Guild vs Guild is pointless (and its also shit tbh, just zerg vs zerg no skill required), Arena is pointless because at some point you just get farmed by whales. Guild bosses give the guild maybe 3 good items per week which you have to divide between 70 players so you will never get anything. You have to farm same content over and over for 10s of hours per week just to get 1k lucent. I mean wtf I can just go to work overtime and buy the stuff instead of grinding in this game. I have 2 characters with over 3600 Gearscore and farmed way over 30k lucent but it is really all luck dependant. I know people that didnt even make half the lucent doing same stuff as me ingame. 30k lucent is also nothing. Sure you can get purple shit gear and wait for T2, which will release in about 4 months so its 4 funny months of getting farmed by whales. Everyone has to see the game for what it is. It will die within the next month because of no content. Battlefield will be pointless content that wont be fun because guess what you just get farmed by whale guilds. The new dungeons get boring after 2 runs. And the caravan shit will also not make any difference.
The problem with Eclipse is that the people who abuse it farmed bots 24/7 to have it and hold onto it. Now that bots are gone or severely decreased, there's no chance for anyone else to contest Eclipse rankings. The ranking should be reset for legit players to be able to get it.
You can't just compare how you were able to make an alliance against the Korean whales due to the difference in culture. Koreans LOVE pvp and they take pride in being one of the best at the game. You and others were able to make an alliance since you were privileged enough to do so. The rest of us can't just get off of our 9-5's then go to the boss we want, only to get eclipsed by the gatekeeping guilds. They normally eclipse seconds before the portals open, so by the time you die, respawn, and go to another boss, you're already too late.
@@FRESHY_GG Correct, there are other choices, but using the same logic, there are other bosses (conflict bosses) that pvpers can go to instead of taking one away from PVE players. PVE players choose this certain boss since it's labelled as PEACE. With that said, PVP players can expect that the people waiting inside are easy, helpless prey. Giving pvpers/top guilds the power to bully casual players quite toxic. In my experience, people usually do eclipse at THE LAST SECOND before the portals spawn. Good luck reaching the other world bosses before the portals/parties fill up.
I was with you until Eclipse comment. You really think its ok for game to have a skill where 1 player can stop a whole server from doing the event? In what insane universe is that ok, pvp game or not? Its not even forcing the pvp, its literally blocking people from doing anything pvp or pve for some bosses.
its 2 times a day, its not like u can use it whenever. thats why there are other bosses u can go to without facing this problem. and yes I think it's ok, cause I was on the both sides of it. In KR getting clapped and not able to enter any of these bosses, and now on the side that controls it. But did I or anyone else complain on KR, no we didn't, we grouped up and actually tried to make a nice fun PVP and fight KR whales.
I think it would be okay in a world where everyone lived normal lives and worked for a living. Unfortunately we live in a world where a significant portion of the population can survive off of our labour, and play video games for 20 hours per day, and can stay logged in at all times, and never miss an opportunity to grief you out of content with sheer unemployed numbers.
yes this is what eclipse is for, making some areas simply inaccessible to pve players its not like eclipse is some op tool that claims the boss, guild of the guy that used it can still be contested it is a pvp game and if you expect to play it without pvp you will struggle
@@FRESHY_GG they mostly use eclipse when there are 2 friendly bosses [in open dungeon] and 2 open world pvp bosses, then they use eclipse and you have 4 pvp bosses :) big guild split up and noone gets any boss
@@CurseSeer Its alwayse easyer to blame the problem on someone else instead of trying to do something about it, To be honest it sounds more like a you problem than anything else, Why do you have to blame people because you chose a work thats 6 to 18 ? Blame it on the people who got time to play not your self, You almost sound like you invy these people, At least you got time to sit on a YT channel and cry about it right ?? I guess thst better than nothing at all....
I’d say is world boss events should show you a metric so you at least know how you did instead of just giving a random thing. As a healer it almost feels pointless to do them at this point. Another thing is to fix the always leaving dungeons when choosing random. If you use all your tokens you only get to do 3 a day before going negative so you would have way less of people using it to select if you could go to 0 and then at that point go negative if you select a dungeon but get a small reward for doing random ones and to make people stay it could be if you leave your next dungeon will receive 0 rewards so they have to keep playing too otherwise with timeouts people will just turn it off and wait then do the same thing again I don’t mind the eclipse thing it spices pve stuff up a bit since I mainly do pve but I haven’t been able to get in to do sanctum boss because the door is always closed during peace
I’m fane of pvp and everything but peace boss should remain peace , that’s abusing of the poor game mechanics , stop being selfish cuz u r with the winning side.
@@FRESHY_GG how many times u gonna cry on about "hur dur i was on a losing side hur dur" is it your way of taking revenge on the people who arent whales or doesnt have as much time to spend in the basement playing the game 24/7? i thought youd have some brain cells but sadly youre just as dumb as the rest of the whales
I agree with pretty much everything said here. The biggest issues with the game right now are the P2W (I'm only stating this objectively. There is no fix for this and it's more or less useless to argue about it). That statement aside, the number one biggest issue with the game is the way stats work. There is a reason why mechanics like hit vs evasion do not exist in games like WoW or Gw2. This way of doing stats basically creates an all or nothing itemization environment that grossly encourages P2W. Other games, like WoW, purposely stay away from these all or nothing models. Things like evasion only exist in the way of active skills which last only a few seconds before going on cooldown. Basically, endurance should be the only passive defense stat in the game while evasion should only exist on skills. Hit rating should be removed entirely. This would level the playing field tremendously. Better gear would still give you a massive advantage, but skill expression would shine out more (Gw2 is the best example of this that I know of). As for Eclipse, it's fine the way it is. This is a PvP game and it should stay that way. Eclipse won't stop people from playing this game. Being unable or unwilling to P2W will.
Remove alliances. Fixes most PvP issues when it comes to guilds dominating. I don't care about eclipse, it's fine. You talked about bow issues, I'll mention Great sword has an annoying issue when using charged skills. You sometimes stop mid charge and your character randomly repositions. It's so frustrating. I agree with pretty much everything you said in this video. I really do find it annoying to find my target in large scale PvP lol. Be careful with the balancing though, like you said, it could inadvertently screw up things. Tanks do indeed do well in small scale, but large scale I'd say no. You're just a meat shield as enemy range just destroy you. Better have a dedicated healer for tanks or you get smoked pretty quick, at least in my experience. Everyone wants me dead lol.
1. For me PVP was fun during the first 10-15 days re-lived my Aion days basically lol but now it feels so unbalanced i have 3500+cs 15k hp wand/longbow and get one shot by a heavy spender his skill did a crit + heavy attack - 7985x2 (i have magic evasion build while the enemy was melee/ranged) 2. Funny you mentioned that your performance dropped since in my case game performance is way better now with new patches tho i have a rtx3080 but still cant play large scale pve/pvp need that frame gen lolz I like the game as well although less and less as the days pass
Staff skills are described horribly and the focused firebomb constantly gets stuck in mid cast animation and you can only get it to go away by dodge rolling so aka wasting your stamina... its horrible and it happens so often in pvp
You underestimate the ability of Americans to survive purely off of government subsidies, and stay logged into the game for 18 hours per day, every day. The eclipse wasn’t toxic in itself, it was toxic because you can’t compete against 280 neets who never leave the house.
@@FRESHY_GG Do those 5 other bosses drop the one item i need? The answer is no. By the time im off work, juno will probably be peace only once that day for me to play. if its eclipsed then I cant try at all...
@@FRESHY_GG The issue is the good OW bosses' peace mode, specifically Aridus and Junobote, always gets eclipsed. I'm on Talus and this is something Nixx has been doing quite often, which denies any chance to others to get the drop and exclusive access to these items on AH, ensuring there's no competition.
Hey man, sorry to send this here, would send on disc if i knew what yours was, but I wanted to ask you something as someone who plays bow dagger a lot and really seems to know their stuff. I've basically maxed out my main spec's build so far and over the last few days I've been looking into both Xbow Dagger and Bow Dagger as an off spec to role into but my GM (guild master) says it isn't really worth rolling into bow right now due to the nerfs ahead. Do you feel the same way? I'm mostly a largescale and gvg player but something important to me is that the is still enjoyable in smaller scale. With Staff dagger I've achieved that. Do you think the bow dagger nerfs (shield and flash) will affect it enough to make it not worth me considering rn? Should I just go xbow dagger? Thanks if you're willing to take a look at this, have a good one bro.
I joined a guild that was looking for pvpers since I finally got my build together. 2 days later the active players left to join the megaguild. A server merg would be nice.
Good video. Also, need to remove the flash wave from the game or at least nerf it(dmg and size). Good thing they nerf the passive shield on KR already. Performance is a huge issue in mass fights, there so many things which are running on tick which we don’t need, there are useless logics which nobody cares about, for example, eye blinking. They should just remove alliance system from this game, add a resurrection skill, and decrease guild size, this will bring more skill based fights. Targeting system… don’t even want to talk about it. As a developer I can’t understand how they can’t improve it for so long.
I follow your vids and am currently rocking your build. I have to chime and say i wholeheartedly disagree with a couple of your opinions. For one, the schedule IS broken, but not because of the rift-stones. Because all world bosses and events are drastically skewed in one end of the day and always on the same hour. As a digital nomad from a completely different region, due to archaic region-locks and licensing, i play the night shift and have absolutely NOTHING to do. I get the server is less populated, im ok with that, there is always enough people online to group up and cities dont feel too empty. But the fact that there are zero world bosses for us to do is just spiteful. What does the server lose from having somehting for us to do too? Im not saying take away the current world bosses, just add night time fights. As a second thing, i am glad Junobote is no longer gate-kept by, as you yourself confirmed, bloated botting ultrazerg alliances that feed their top botters with PVP kills just to keep the utterly broken weather and time of day changing skills. Whoever thought that would ever be a good idea needs to be kneecapped. If it was used as intended by honest guilds that legitimately earn it and then generate healthy compeitition with it, it would be fine. But it's not. The rich get richer and all of us PVE scrubs get ganked out of any interest of playing this game. Yes, there is PVP in this game. No, it is not a PVP game. Go play PVP content, dont force PVP content on carebear grindfarmers. Its pathetic. Punching down just for lols. Everything else you said was spot on and i would be happy with your proposed changes.
i really thought i was the only one having these problems my guildmates almost gaslight me into thinking I'm just bad. all of these are valid and the game is awesome but damn come on
The Eclipse is an exploit mechanic which annoys much more people than it helps, so you end up having people leave the game. Is this to your interest? Whats even the point in killing pve players who dont want to participate in that? No because it creates less competition and even increases the gab between hardcore guilds and normal people. It sounds more like crying that the favored tool gets taken away from you buhu
@@FRESHY_GGthat's not a solution. The only other way to get these items currently is either by guild raids or auction house. Throne and Liberty advertises guilds as optional, but if the world bosses, the only other option for guildless ppl is being blocked by whales, that's an issue and faulty by design
@@FRESHY_GG You have a very simple minded way of thinking to be honest. So because you went and ate fecal matter and liked it, the rest of the community in global have to eat it too and not complain that it taste like crap? GTFOH lol
@@FRESHY_GG the issue is that you force pve players into pvp for a boss that is flagged as peace and not conflict. If you want an extra reward for beeing the top guild then let them have a battle against each other for some type of loot but let pve players be. Its pathetic to farm pve players in something they didnt even want to participate in.
That unli tornado is so annoying especially when you are fighting at a choke point to push the enemy. I know that you can have collision resist and press Q but there should be a limit of tornadoes you can receive within 3 secs. This makes the tornado skill imbalance in GVG fights.
That’s too bad about the eclipse thing. That was a really cool mechanic. It led to a lot of insane fights breaking out. I’m surprised they changed it considering you can do all the bosses in your guild raids.
I've tested it versus stun/sleep and it works as intended with that specialization. It does not state it can remove petrification(freeze), bind(shadow strike/ice spear) or silence(knockdowns) or collision(tornado) I may test more, but pretty sure it is only able to clear stun and sleep.
I don't think i have ever watched a 16 min rant video in my life and actually agreed with all of it wow, even with the eclipse ranting which is such a sensitive topic, i agree 100% with your logic, but i cannot not see what the others say about it with the "cheating" aspect of it. You forgot to call out something though i fully expected you to call out in the video, and tbh i don't even want to say it so more people abuse it. I'm immediately joining your dc to pm it to you!
It’s becoming clear that the Zerg issue is slowly but surely undermining the EU servers. I love this game, but if NCSoft continues to let this problem persist, it will be their downfall. By the time they finally address the Zerg problem, most of the player base will likely have already moved on to a new game.
The problem in my server is that there is one dominate guild of 30 and no one is able to beat them even with all the other servers trying to alliance to beat them. They just continue to dominate and there’s nothing we can do
my main issue is the pvp "flagging" system, beeing hit before i can hit back its just stupid, having to auto attack to flag and be able to attack back.
Agree with all of them. And there are plenty more :D Game is not "good enough" to me. Still playing though but only because the trust I have in the devs to fix these issues in the foreseenable future. They (NCsoft) have made GREAT MMOs in past like Lineage2, Aion, Blade'n'Soul where technical issues like these were not present at all and they are very old games too. I just cannot comprehend how the same company is unable to pull off the same quality with their games 15-20 years later. They have nailed the audience and world, and content as well, but these annoying things are really ruining it for me.
Shouldn't reg a guild as hostile do something more that changing color on their names? IDK like enable PvP in open world if both guilds agree to hostility?
I'm in a small guild and I feel left out of these fun fights I keep seeing on youtube. Sadly, the guilds in my server Paola on Playstation have become very toxic and egotistic, so it sucks out of the fun of anything. People like me are completely left out of the pinnacle content. My current power is 2500+, I'm not a complete newbie and still, these players have become insanely hostile and toxic, having multiple arguments in global chat sending hateful messages. Dungeons have also become incredibly annoying with people leaving and being toxic. If you don't play the way they expect you to play, they become hostile and aggressive. There is no penalty for these players whatsoever.
Party Matchmaking is the worst thing in this game... Back in the day, you were joining a guild, and you were playing with them every day. You were doing some 6-man instance pve; you were talking with them and made friends. Now people only do quick entry with their close friends, and nobody talks to each other anymore. Nobody has time to have a conversation during PVP content like GVG or World Boss because all you do is listen to calls and focus...
the main issue with co op random is not because they are leaving cause expecting in the last boss , they are out cause the party is unbalanced. for example i have 3100+ cp ,i don't wanna party with someone with 1600 cp who use green equip and doesn't even understand the mech. the 1600 cp abused hidden weapon to burden the other at co op random. it's better to make balanced cp and unhidden weapon at random co op.
Something else they need to fix is people rolling dungeons as tank or support just to get a quick que when they are not those specs, dev's needs to make it so only people with sword/shield and wands can roll tank or healer, fed up as a dps waiting 40mins to get in a dungeon just to find we have no healer or tank lol
they could fix the eclipse by just adding at least 1 piece mode boss that is not in a dungeon ... and make something like adentus 2-3 times per day not just 1 so some ppl have a chance to fight it but yeah eclipse mechanic is cool
or they can add a new boss that requires the eclipse. I think that is much simpler and more rewarding for the ones who holds the eclipse. I mean... they worked hard for it (by legit or bot means) so they must have a greater reward for having it, but at the same time it will not frustrating the casual players from getting locked/gatekeeeped from peace bosses. Eclipse should be like a VIP/exclusive pass. Not a douchebag/party crasher pass.
I understand many of you won't agree with my stance on eclipse and gatekeeping. I have been on both sides of this. In KR the KR whales have been doing the same thing to all western players. They had eclipse and they gatekept everyone with their mega zergs, but did we cry and complain about it? We didn't, we grouped up, made our own alliances and fought for the bosses. But it seems on global most grouping up you guys can do is going on reddit and complain until amazon is forced to fix it. If you put 10% of complaining effort into trying to fight, you might get some loot.
EDIT - I am fine with the changes amazon is doing, don't get me wrong. I want this game to have longevity and if these changes to eclipse help retain players and help non hardcore players get more loot I am happy for that. I just don't think that complaining 24/7 on reddit and twitter is a right and healthy way to force changes from amazon. Other than that, if this makes people happy I am all for it.
It doesn’t help that riftstones take place in the middle of the day for us in NA, which is totally unhinged. You’re never going to get a guild of functioning adults together at 4 pm to do a massive guild raid on a Wednesday. Most people are still at work for hours beyond that. The game is catered to people who have nothing else going on in their lives; we have every right to complain about these issues. If riftstones were at 7-8pm, it would at least be accessible to most people.
It's hard to do that when the game is international. 7 Russian zergs vs random individuals from random countries. It's hard to group people up that don't speak the same language when your enemy is generally from the same region. They should implement regions.
Wondering how these ukrainis have time to plsy fulltime throne and liberty
Thought they have to go to war and defend their land @@mrustbanger
Top alliances also trade top 1 spot to avoid 12 hour cooldowns on eclipse
It's a double edged sword, yes rank 1 kill player should not be cucked because majority of casuals are mad they can't enter peace world bosses, on the other side without those same casuals the game would be dead, they are 90% of the player base.
I don’t give a flying F. A game this massive isn’t going to cater towards a few hundreds players who like to gate keep a PEACEFUL world boss, when you got thousands upon thousands of other players who are going to those events expecting a PVE environment. There’s CONFLICT bosses, arenas, PVP events, boons etc for you to enjoy PVP…. But you have to understand that there’s PVE too. If not why even have dungeons and PVE events when (like you said) this is a PVP game.
The description of the game when I downloaded said “A free-to-play MMORPG in a dynamic world with massive scale PvP and PVE”, so if I want to PVE and not engage in any type of PvP is my prerogative. So the best thing the devs can do is add those portals so players like me can avoid those basement dwellers like the plague. Let them play with each other while the rest of the population goes about their business, enjoying the game however they want.
sure
@@MidnightGamer7775 can I have progression without doing PvE? No I cannot, why are you mental about one boss a day being changed to PvP
@@pikausp if you think that’s the problem then we have bigger problem at higher end then the F2P by the sound of it.
@@pikausp There are several reasons:
1) Functional adults cant play during most of the day, so most of us can only play during 1 maybe 2 worldboss rotations and if one of those becomes locked its just over.
2) Syleus closes at night and eclipses completly blocking of ALL guilds no matter what.
3) The drop chances for items are handled differently between peaceful and combat bosses, so if a peaceful boss is basically converted into a combat boss the lack of unallied players massively increases the chances for a good dropchances for the eclipse initiators.
4) If a game doesnt cater towards 99% of its playerbase its going to die within a few months. Just look at new world to see what i mean.
@@drsira7248 but it's not all bosses during the window, just the ones in open world dungeons
Yes this is a PVP game, but the eclipse is without any doubt the most toxic feature of the game and should not impact peace bosses.
It's a really self serving opinion to have when you're literally max gear and are in a zerg guild alliance, you clearly a spent a lot of money and time, 500 hours in a month is ridiculous.
Also you're actually wrong, people did complain in KR, but the culture is vastly different in terms of P2W... maybe do some research before blatantly lying. I wouldn't be surprised if you delete this comment to save your ego.
If you take a step back and don't actually buy all the packs and play as F2P and join a smaller guild, see how much fun you have waiting to do sanctum or otherwise bosses that rarely spawn in those instances and a eclipse occurs, even with 3000 CP 1000 evasion you will not have fun.... You are part of the problem that is the ecosystem of zerg guilds and mega whales.
agree, I have 2k evasion and still die on eclips just as fast. He is also part of the problem.
^This
1. A pvp item is being used to screw over literal pve content / players. (This is NOT what this item was intended to be used for)
2. Dude, it has already been proven that most if not all of those mega guilds including the people who have those skills like “eclipsing” have been farming bots for kills and have been cheating when it comes to gaining guild reputation or abusing the system to get ahead. It’s all over UA-cam. I’m sorry but I do not agree with some of the stuff on this video. And this is coming from a HARDCORE PVP guy. NO GAME is going to survive off of hardcore players only. There HAS to be a balance between PvP and pve players or the casuals will leave and the game dies. Let’s be honest as much as I would like the game to be fully PvP hardcore players, it’s not and no game is. Casual players make up the majority of players in mmorpgs. It has always been this way.
Well put 🎉 I'm casual but dedicated but will stop next few days tbh
I’m OCE and have to play on Japanese servers.. try fight these mega zergs with 300+ ping as well…
The main guild forever owns zombie town for like 4 weeks straight now.
They have no competition but with each other. They main Zerg all new players trying this new events to them. Untill they get one tapped and be like fuck that shit I’m out!
Game is so good, but the pay to win and fighting 300 credit cards is a joke.
But the skill itself has no other use besides this. It has long cooldown and can be used for 1 boss a day.
I dont mind the changes, the point of my rant about eclipse is that getting things changed by crying and complaining every day isn't the healthy way. I want the game to survive and have longevity and if making it more PVE does that Its fine.
I don't agree with 1. but I do agree with 2. Eclipse was designed to actually gatekeep open world dungeons. What else it is used for if not for that? To turn off the sun because it looks cool? There is no other use for it.
Just remove the whole alliance feature and limit the amount of ppl that can enter a conflict zone from each guild to like 50. At the end of the day this game just comes down to who has the most numbers
thiss but It should be 70 the max.
@@khaeld091 naw 25 make it small
yall are tripping it would lose so many players if they did that, reason the game is even played this much is because zerg v zerg is like no other game. my server helpie has 2 big 4 alliance zergs that fight every day and there are still some smaller guilds that come in and get some action and loot. making it a free for all makes it to where the boss in any conflict zone will never die because you cant properly dps the boss.
@@brexity603 All comes down to players who are willing to want change. I never think its too late either, even if top guild has been in control for weeks at a time. Players will catch up to their gear score and the few players who may have an archboss weapon won't be the difference maker.
Boils down to who can be more strategic.
@brexity603 zergs are not healthy for any mmo is this your first?
They have to adapt to the global audience, the KR version is basically dead and their only hope is global, that's why they are listening so quick. The bigger portion of the population are casual players, if you gatekeep them of content, they just quit, just like in KR, the only ones playing there are the hardcore players now.
i dont mind, just a weird way to get the changes by crying and complaining
I100% agree with the time schedule change. All major events should start at 6 in the afternoon and end around 11:12 midnight. Because that's when majority of players the adults are actively able to play if they have anytime at all and if they want to still I keep a player base during the day. It can be around 6 7 in the morning until four in the afternoon for all of the kitties, and people that aren't adults.

100% agree. There should be no alliance system at all. Zergs literally just make it so the 4 top guilds have an enjoyable time with open world pvp events while the other 196 guilds don't even bother because there's no point in going to the meatgrinder. There's not enough territory in the game yet for an alliance system to be needed anyhow.
@@BallBusta exactly it's such b s
even worse, its not just limited to 4 guilds teaming up...
You got some L takes ngl, partly because you are privileged to be a hardcore player. Eclipse shouldn't be a "boss-gatekeeper" for PEACE bosses. Good on Amazon for realising this and making a change.
If anything the game needs MORE ways to GRIND loot, not more RNG and pandering to the established zerg alliances/top guilds. This game has amazing potential, and zergs don't see it because they want immediate satisfaction of dominating servers. Small guilds need a fighting chance or this game will end up cannibalizing itself to obscurity.
Eclipse can only be used once per day, meaning they can only gatekeep once, all bosses are available in organised guild raids if you REALLY need the loot. All other loot can be attained extremely easily by abusing pity system which is amazing as I've maxed one toon and almost another with no real money being spent. Don't forget all world boss gear will be available once T2 dungeons come out. No excuse for all you "RNG SUCKS" players. Lol.

I also hope killing a peace boss would reset cooldowns so u can immediately swap to pvp set, more of a niche one
Tanks are insane yeah, give daggers or bows some % max hp damage at this point to be able to deal with them lol
Death timer is so and so, in my experience its almost always a wipe into regroup, not a continuous ongoing fight, some bosses like syleys abyss fb also have 3 min sprints to them already
Megaguilds controlling riftstones, guild wars,... it's bad but eclipse controlling world bosses it's good. Logic... in my server outside the top 3 guilds (which are in alliance) no body has ever touched Junebote, outside of guild raid. Why implement into the world the game boss? There are boss that are in conflict and some that are peace. Imagine playing PVE, you are almost maxed out but you do not like PVP and you have 3-4 hours empty because of empty hour, gigantrice and all boss conflict because of eclipse.
Not to mention they get around riftstone limits by having branches, and they rotate their swipers to defend stones.
IMO, the biggest issues are rmt, botting , the lacking of skill presets. Now, on my server, the person with the eclipse keeps switching on purpose, so it can be used more times, since the cd resets once it changes the ownership. I'm mostly a pve player and I don't mind the pvp on bosses. Another thing that bothers me a lot is someone being able to invite you to groups even if you are already in a group. One thing that I believe will have lots of complaints is after the siege, when the a guild takes the sollant and lucent from the castle, the big alliance and whales getting even richer will make many uninstall.
World boss dies way too fast, it should scale better.
Absolutely please make content for smaller/casual guilds to fight over, ty for the vid
There are peace bosses and there are conflict bosses, it has a design that is meant to be fair, it is designed this way for a reason. You can pvp if u want, but u are not forced. Getting repeatedly one shot by swipers is not fun and will kill the game for many players.
Eclipse will make a peaceful boss pvp.
but u also have multiple peace bosses, dont come to area where eclipse can get u killed
@FRESHY_GG they are peace bosses for a reason. For people that don't want to participate in pvp.. thats like me saying there are other conflict bosses for you to fight.
I ain't complaining. I enjoy pvp. Bdo is worse. Played for 3years. Imagine being at a "peace" boss and dude flags up. Lol. Or, the enemy rolls up deep. This game at least you HAVE actual peace bosses. Bdo has zergs as well. So idk the issue.
@@xNatakux you won, now u get your 0,02% dropchance from Juno peace from next week. Hope you can finally be happy now as PvE player lol
You're so salty because of the eclipse changes hahaha
not even salty. just wanted to share my opinion on it. Ive been on the other end as well in KR getting gatekept by KR whales, but I never complained about it
@@FRESHY_GG Yea man when someone from the opposite side share his opinion about the eclipse then this individual is crying and complaining but yours isn't.
@@Asmonfolld hahaha you are so damn right! this video is only crying about not be able anymore to farm hunderts of unprepeared players in pve gear and skillset xD
I do agree eclipse is a PVP mechanic and we should just work against it and all, but I have to say it's just dumb sometimes, for example this happent yesterday in my server on the 8pm bosses:
- Peace bosses: Nirma, Aridus, Junobot
- Conflict bosses: Kowazan, not sure of the other maybe Morokai
1) So Junobote was out of the question because there was no rain for another 50minutes.
2) Nirma and Aridus are both on Syleus Abyss, that closes at night, so you already know what happens next (eclipse, duh)...
That left every PVE player out of peaceful world bosses, at PRIME TIME on a SUNDAY. And to make matters worse, the alliance that eclipsed ended up going to Kowazan to show everyone they're the boss, Aridus and Nirma were left unkilled.
From your video, I see that you come frome an Hardcore PVP player's perspective, so I'm trying to share an example that completely ruins a PVE player experience. Not everyone plays 4hr+ hours daily, some people were excited or planned their day for the 8pm bosses only to be blocked out by hArDcOrE pVp pLaYeRs that tought it was funny to cancel the whole world boss experience for everyone.
Anyways we know this will be fixed, against your will, I'm just adding another perspective, thanks for the video.
there is no point telling this guy anything he has a dumb whale brain and only gonna tell you "there are other bosses" or "i was at the receiving end in KR" he doesnt come up with anything else
All top guilds need to be agenst eachother no aliences in top 15
Would be a massive W
That would be great but as usual, these sweaties will find a way to bypass that. Their abuse nature takes over.
This would actually be insane
For me its simple. Make the game 70x70 or 140x140 and its done. We dont need 400x400. Its stupid, doesnt look good, doesnt feel good to play in. 70x70 will give u a chance to setup your guild with the right classes and make sure that your gameplay will count in order for you to have success...
Eclipse change is a good change imo . Not everyone wants to pvp on a supossed peace boss.
what amazon needs to do is hire you as a game tester so they can get all the bugs fixed! keep up the good work Freshy!
I like the small scale GvG idea, but what I'd really want is a dedicated riftstone or other siege pvp scenario for randoms that you can play all day long. I really liked the large scale pvp in GW2 and Elder Scrolls online since you could just join in as a random.
I'm in a small guild with friends and I know that we'll never participate in the riftstone battles with a mainly pve guild, but I also don't wanna miss out on the large scale pvp. The zerg pvp at conflict bosses is just a mess for randoms
This! I really hope there will be more casual friendly PVP-modes!
Show this video to the devs!! And give this man a cookie
I disagree with your opinion on the eclipse changes and honestly, your wording there is not really likeable.
So, players (like myself) are "crying in masses", because we dont want to be ganked on, when we do the peace-zone world bosses.
I could now interpret, that someones feelings are really hurt, because the wet dreams are over. Or am I wrong here?
The last time I checked it, I decide on how I want to play the games I play, with the possibilities the game offers to me. If I dont like something, I dont participate in it.
Well, big surprise, I don't force others to play the game the way I want them to play. I have a different impression of you.
TL has PvP elements, it has PvE elements. There is content for both sides. I dont play PvP because of the P2W aspects.
Why should I wast my time and fight whales? Why should I spend time to group up with others and then try to fight the whales, if I dont want it?
To each his own, and yes, you can speak respectfully about players who have a different opinion.
For real 😂
Dude sounds cucked
fair enough
On the longbow does the Whirlpool work for you, mine doesnt show on the floor anymore since the first patch nore gives me the buffs such as speedup when i specialize into Whirlpool? The other spells affected by whirpool such as the knockback on Zypher Knock does not knock back the target anymore, nore do the other affected spells from whirlpool trigger theire corresponding effect for me when specializing into them in the skill tree. The whole Whirlpool Mechanic is broken in other words since patch 1 but worked on Day 1.
I agree with you on MOST of these comments except the Eclipse. Large PvP guild alliances abusing the eclipse system to BLOCK players who want to do PEACE bosses is a big issue on my server. There are conflict and peace bosses so everyone has a chance to fight world bosses. Abusing the eclipse system to take them all for the mega guild alliances IS a problem. They need to deal with the root of the problem which is the large PVP guild alliances. AGS and NC want to appeal to all players, not just PvP players in order to make the game fun for everyone which will make them more money. but it's like the old saying goes.. You can't please everyone all of the time..
its 12 h cooldown, and there are other bosses for you to go for.
@@FRESHY_GG Yeah same for PvP bosses.. How would YOU feel if Players had say an option to, and maybe this is an idea for devs, to use a weather affect to counter the eclipse and force it to be say a BLUE moon and suddenly there was no PvP allowed anywhere or similar... you got all setup to do a conflict boss and BLAMMO it's a blue moon and your conflict boss gets overrun by PvE players and you CAN'T KILL THEM...-gasp-...
@@seabhacgra517 western players are just bitches
peace bosses are useless, u'll not get loot if u dont gatekeep or do conflict. The more people at a peace boss the less likely u will get a drop (and dont get me started on the participation box, its 0.3%)
These mega alliance are destroying the servers
I wish we could have the schedule you mentioned….i feel that works best with people who work 9-5 or have busy families during the dinner hours
the biggest problem is flashwave spam at conflict bosses, insane range, super safe and u hit 20+ people with it easily AND you can cast it back 2 back? wtf man
flashwave is allegedly capped at 16ppl and cant hit more
Capped at 16 players, can only cast twice if you use Blitz (omnipotent skill) which has 1 minute cooldown at level 5 and 1 minute 30 sec at level 1.
nerf soon
@@spearki you but 100 people have the skill 😔
Good video man, I fully agree with most of the things you said. Imo the priority is really about the movement, combat and mini stutters, they need to smooth this out. I thought many of the bad feelings about combat was due to KR ping but now I can see that it's the game itself.
And I also fully agree regarding eclipse, it's a shitty change. One alternative could have been that the outside portal is a unique instance, if you decide to take it you will be in the same instance as all the people taking it. So alliances can still fight for the boss control and the full loot.
I hear alot of people say that this is a pvp game, well is it really? 90% of the loot is from pve activities this might ofc change down the line with tier 2 etc, but as of right now with tier 1 you actually get nothing from killing another player except for a number as far as i know
The eclipse take is so bad tf you mean players grind hard to stop pve players from access to peace boss. Thats such a dumb take, they grind for conflict zones if they want pvp they can do it at night or during conflict bosses. There isnt much PVE left, don't make it less. Its already a heavy pvp game.Horrible take
can always go to other peace bosses and avoid eclipse
@@FRESHY_GG Why don't people who like pvp just wait until night time for pvp? You realise that someone who's at work during most of the day might only be able to do a boss 1 time which might be gatekept by a zerg. When it's supposed be a peace boss with no pvp
@@FRESHY_GG Wow I just went through a couple of your replies and you are very closed minded. What about the people who need to do a specific boss to get a specific type of loot? So it makes sense for you to have a Zerg alliance of 400 people, specifically geared towards PVP, stump over PVE players who are just there to PVE?
That’s like saying you own a restaurant that sells pizza and hotdogs, you do an analysis where you can see most of your clientele is there to eat pizza, but you got a bunch of fanatics who dressed up like hotdogs and give you all the flowers for making the best hotdogs in town. What do you do? Do you start making more hotdogs for those couple of hundreds who sings praises for your weenies or you keep making more pizza for those thousands of costumers who are there to eat a proper pie?
@@lukain630 It's aight bro it's not that deep, just a game. His other points were fair just the eclipse one was a bit off
They really need to do what guild wars does and only accept 1 guild with a higher player limit so you can fight other zergs as a guild, the alliances system definitely needs to be butchered for this.
I've only played this as a PvE. Don't care for or about the PvP aspect at all.
we dont care about you xd
@@mininovaq and no one gives a fk about your lonely basement dwelling ass
Missing out on 85% of the game
Eclipse is a really good concept, and people gatekeeping are also really fine, it makes it more fun actually, but it is so unfair when u are a small guild and is up against a massive alliance with most geared 300 players in the server. Its the concept of not having a chance to fight back or do anything about it makes people complain unless you join a big alliance as well! No not happening, i will rather do guild raid with the bois.. I would suggest a raid party separate from 6 man party like in GW2.. Great video though!
Regarding the eclipse... its an easy fix. Devs can just add a new boss that requires the eclipse in order to kill it. That way both parties are happy.
PvE players are happy because they can now enjoy Peace Junobote, Aridus and Nirma.
Top 1 PvP guild and others is also happy as they have a new boss that they can only access using the eclipse.
not a bad idea
@@FRESHY_GG Not a bad idea but with this mindset I'm kinda sure they will eventually start complaining about the fact that those specific drops are coming from the "Eclipse boss only" and it's not fair for casual players.
@@xKei187 well, right now the only other way to get loot from some of those world bosses is through your own guild raid.
@@ne1tu660 What I really don't understand is how the 1% (or even less for what i know) chance to get that specific drop from that specific boss is in any way game breaking for most of the people. Considering you can use Eclipse once a day you are losing like what, 0.2% of getting a loot? The game is designed to be pvp oriented and I see why people is frustrated about all this eclipse or giga zerg stuff but at the end of the day all this shit takes effort. Whatever is manage an alliance/guild made by 200 ppl or farm kills to get the eclipse (even tho i do agree there is a lot of botting involved) it takes time and a lot of work and I can't see why people committing and using their time and energies into this don't have to be rewarded. I feel like , like it's always been on every other mmo i playied, people will always find something to complain about, if we are discussing about taking actions vs bots or something shady i'm all up for it but complaining for something wich is legit and made on purpose from the devs seems a bit out of my scope of comprehension.
Arenanet did a pretty good job with class balancing and mass pvp. They should look inwards and take notes from those guys.
Fellow Bow/dagger enjoyer here, the Limit Break does enhance the Decisive Sniping.
If you look at 14:24 you'll see you hitting for 19.8k afterwards it keeps hitting for 3099.
That's what Limit break on Decisive Sniping does, it adds a DOT on the target depending on your charge :D
well then this goes back to my previous issue of tooltips on skills not being correct and not explaining it well. I never noticed this. Thank you. I still don't think 3k extra damage is worth the 10 skill points.
@@FRESHY_GG No problem, also it's not just 3k. It lasts for a few seconds, think 4-6 seconds/ticks? Have a look yourself, it's OK for say a world boss to get extra damage in in the second snipe, but as you said the 10 points makes hardly worth it imo.
Glad you mentioned the tooltips because there's several things tooltips are bad at explaining. Like our poison says "coats our daggers etc. the following attacks stacks poison" It specifies daggers but any weapon works which is fantastic synergy with some skills in pve.
Here are the steps to make this games pvp better.
1- Remove the ally guild feature
2- Limit the max guild member count to 50.
3- There should be more conflict bosses spawn at the same, so pvp action will be present at many different places at the same time. This will cause less player to attend one certain conflict boss, consequently to a fair PvP experience, and also avoid massive FPS drops. Any player that took part in a scheduled conflict boss will be restricted to enter other conflict boss event that present in the same time. For example I attended talus conlict event at 21.00pm. My character will be restricted to enter Adentus conflict event at 21.00pm.
for dungeons queues, I was thinking there needs to be a 5 minute CD for rejecting a Random dungeon queue. spending 2-3 minutes of the window continually popping is annoying and helping no one. either queue for the dungeon you want, or just accept the first thing that pops.
For leaving dungeons, there needs to be a 10 minute leaver penalty. Also annoyed people leave right after joining. Though, they should also give some small rewards to mid-dungeon bosses. Something like 100k sollant, or some blue gear with chance at purple gear(Im thinking "resistance" gear here, not dungeon boss loot). something to make those mid-dungeon bosses a little more worthwhile. having all the good loot tied to the final boss is fairly annoying.
Then people will just go afk and get kicked
Add the possibility to use an equiped item on a second build, so we dont need to reroll stats points
I haven't looked into it too much so it may already be the case but I think the kill should reset every week or month so eclipse has a chance to rotate amongst more players/guilds because it will be literally impossible for anyone who is new to the game to get the eclipse,
Also to help.with balance without being to crazy could be a cool down on when you can get stunned/rooted like you can only be stunned every 10 seconds I've seen other games use this and it works quite well
I don't know if it's happened with others but every now and then my decisive snipe will just cancel it self, I'll be in pvp with someone they will be within range I'll charge my snipe and then it will just stop my root will wear off and the player either attacks me or runs off, it's happened alot to me
I think the eclipse change was needed as half of all the bosses are already PVP, excluding the more casual and pve crowd from drops already. As well as it being brought more in line with the power of the other transcendent skills. It was far superior to the value of the others and they effectively didn't change the functionality of the skill itself, just circumvented its abuse on people who didn't want to pvp. Also, you apparently don't follow patch notes from Korea, because they have already addressed the tanky/bruiser issues in small and large with changes to mages to be able to break down those geared tanky frontlines. All in all, you had some good takes, but the fear that they will fundamentally kill pvp because they aren't rewarding the already strongest players with more ways to bully the casual crowd is a hot take imo.
I really love your take on boonstones and riftstones!
So many working and good stuff was in Lineage 2, why they didn't put them into T&L? Like: Ally chat; Expanding Guild member count; War tag that the other guild can accept, or ignore; karma system with permanent PvP zones; Quest for a token for entry the big bosses, etc.
Also one of the biggest issue is the world boss system right now. They need to add way more gates, the current ones are overpopulated as hell, decreasing the drop chances almost to 0 and makes players angry/sad choosing not worth the effort and time to participate on them.
Another problem that many of us is experiencing regardless of their system and internet connection (decent pc with gigabit optical internet) is the co-op dungeons are sometimes lagging and desync occurs many times (maybe not enough resources are dedicated to these instances at server side? ).
Valid points
There is a very simple sollution for random dungeons issue, just remove information what dungeon youre going in and add penalty for leaving dungeon.
I agree with this
Sadly the game doesn't have enough to offer the masses anymore. The player base is dropping like flies. They need to add changes quick.
Love your content! your guide videos are easy to understand and don't waste time. I don't really know all about the macro side of things with this game. I dont know what happens in KR, I dont really care about how much this title is PVP or PVE, but its a beautiful game. Me and my friends are always trying out MMOs to play together.
We didn't really know what the eclipse thing was until we tried to fight Junobote, and we all got eclipsed and slaughtered. We were all "WTF it said peace right??" after that, we learned what eclipse was. lol But i guess the devs took all the "crying and complaining" and changed something because at the end of the day, it's a lot feedback that they felt could disrupt player retention/revenue. I've been trying to get my friends to come back since that day lol
Eclipse isn't an issue for me, what is an issue, is that when you die in an open world dungeon, you should respawn at the dungeon's waypoint as long as you've unlocked it, not back in town. And no open world dungeon should ever be closed, including Sanc. Then Eclipse wouldn't be a big deal. You die, respawn with immunity, run to portal.
eclipse has no value if you can just respawn inside the dungeon, what are u talking about? The whole purpose of using it is to get people tped out from the dungeon and gate keep portals till last few seconds so only ur guild can get the drops
I completly agree on the dungeon lock opinion. This way it is just frustrating, If it would stay opened, even after getting ganked I would head back for some pvp and have some fun even after got beat up again.
In every game u spawn in town after death. Even if you die in a dungeon. And thats good
@@BLINKerlei are we playing the same game? You are respawning in town after you die in Death's Abyss or Tyrant's Isle? If so then you broke the game...

good byeeeee
its 12h cooldown and u have always 4 other peace bosses u can go to
@@FRESHY_GG bro did the other boss have the stuff i want , and can i play at that time? Normal ppl only have 2 to 3 hours a day to play after work, some even less, and they usually the one who spend to faster catch up with others if they like the game, this could make them absolutely change their mind and leave, hardcore ppl is not the one spending much at all, since they can farm a lot, where will the game get money from, absolutely no where, no money will make the game becoming bad overtime and die soon

Unfortunately this game is not skill based. Its numbers based. Top 10 Guilds build alliances because why not? Why would you fight each other when you can farm all other guilds together. If you are a whale in this game, you get every item without playing the game and you are way ahead of everyone else who has to play the game to get the same items relying on world boss drops that wont drop because you dont do nearly as much dps as the whales because that is the way loot drop works. Everything is time gated and then gated by the top guilds with eclipse. The game is not fun at the current state because it has no fun content. Its just grinding hours and hours for nothing. Doing dungeons doesnt yield and profit. Same for open world dungeons. Only thing thats worth lucent is world boss loot which you cannot get because of the above reasons. This game will soon die for the better and only exists because there are no sufficient alternatives. I played it for over 400 hours and it just sucks. So many people quit the game because there is no fun content you can do together. Guild vs Guild is pointless (and its also shit tbh, just zerg vs zerg no skill required), Arena is pointless because at some point you just get farmed by whales. Guild bosses give the guild maybe 3 good items per week which you have to divide between 70 players so you will never get anything. You have to farm same content over and over for 10s of hours per week just to get 1k lucent. I mean wtf I can just go to work overtime and buy the stuff instead of grinding in this game. I have 2 characters with over 3600 Gearscore and farmed way over 30k lucent but it is really all luck dependant. I know people that didnt even make half the lucent doing same stuff as me ingame. 30k lucent is also nothing. Sure you can get purple shit gear and wait for T2, which will release in about 4 months so its 4 funny months of getting farmed by whales.
Everyone has to see the game for what it is. It will die within the next month because of no content. Battlefield will be pointless content that wont be fun because guess what you just get farmed by whale guilds. The new dungeons get boring after 2 runs. And the caravan shit will also not make any difference.
The problem with Eclipse is that the people who abuse it farmed bots 24/7 to have it and hold onto it. Now that bots are gone or severely decreased, there's no chance for anyone else to contest Eclipse rankings. The ranking should be reset for legit players to be able to get it.
But eclipse can be used 2 times a day
You can't just compare how you were able to make an alliance against the Korean whales due to the difference in culture. Koreans LOVE pvp and they take pride in being one of the best at the game.
You and others were able to make an alliance since you were privileged enough to do so. The rest of us can't just get off of our 9-5's then go to the boss we want, only to get eclipsed by the gatekeeping guilds.
They normally eclipse seconds before the portals open, so by the time you die, respawn, and go to another boss, you're already too late.
But there are other bosses u can go to. Its only once a day at prime time
@@FRESHY_GG Correct, there are other choices, but using the same logic, there are other bosses (conflict bosses) that pvpers can go to instead of taking one away from PVE players.
PVE players choose this certain boss since it's labelled as PEACE. With that said, PVP players can expect that the people waiting inside are easy, helpless prey. Giving pvpers/top guilds the power to bully casual players quite toxic.
In my experience, people usually do eclipse at THE LAST SECOND before the portals spawn. Good luck reaching the other world bosses before the portals/parties fill up.
In korea this game fails long time ago😅what you talking about what pvp ?😅😅😅
Besides the massive L take on eclipse, everything else was spot on. Good video.
I was with you until Eclipse comment. You really think its ok for game to have a skill where 1 player can stop a whole server from doing the event? In what insane universe is that ok, pvp game or not? Its not even forcing the pvp, its literally blocking people from doing anything pvp or pve for some bosses.
its 2 times a day, its not like u can use it whenever. thats why there are other bosses u can go to without facing this problem. and yes I think it's ok, cause I was on the both sides of it. In KR getting clapped and not able to enter any of these bosses, and now on the side that controls it. But did I or anyone else complain on KR, no we didn't, we grouped up and actually tried to make a nice fun PVP and fight KR whales.
I think it would be okay in a world where everyone lived normal lives and worked for a living.
Unfortunately we live in a world where a significant portion of the population can survive off of our labour, and play video games for 20 hours per day, and can stay logged in at all times, and never miss an opportunity to grief you out of content with sheer unemployed numbers.
yes this is what eclipse is for, making some areas simply inaccessible to pve players its not like eclipse is some op tool that claims the boss, guild of the guy that used it can still be contested it is a pvp game and if you expect to play it without pvp you will struggle
@@FRESHY_GG they mostly use eclipse when there are 2 friendly bosses [in open dungeon] and 2 open world pvp bosses, then they use eclipse and you have 4 pvp bosses :) big guild split up and noone gets any boss

I guess thst better than nothing at all....
Freshy I hope devs hear you
I think everything is okay, but the eclipse and gatekeepers
I’d say is world boss events should show you a metric so you at least know how you did instead of just giving a random thing. As a healer it almost feels pointless to do them at this point.
Another thing is to fix the always leaving dungeons when choosing random. If you use all your tokens you only get to do 3 a day before going negative so you would have way less of people using it to select if you could go to 0 and then at that point go negative if you select a dungeon but get a small reward for doing random ones and to make people stay it could be if you leave your next dungeon will receive 0 rewards so they have to keep playing too otherwise with timeouts people will just turn it off and wait then do the same thing again
I don’t mind the eclipse thing it spices pve stuff up a bit since I mainly do pve but I haven’t been able to get in to do sanctum boss because the door is always closed during peace
I’m fane of pvp and everything but peace boss should remain peace , that’s abusing of the poor game mechanics , stop being selfish cuz u r with the winning side.
I was on the losing side in kr
@@FRESHY_GG how many times u gonna cry on about "hur dur i was on a losing side hur dur" is it your way of taking revenge on the people who arent whales or doesnt have as much time to spend in the basement playing the game 24/7? i thought youd have some brain cells but sadly youre just as dumb as the rest of the whales
@ so. What’s that suppose to add , u still winning now , I’m on the winning side now I don’t go to these events.
I agree with pretty much everything said here. The biggest issues with the game right now are the P2W (I'm only stating this objectively. There is no fix for this and it's more or less useless to argue about it). That statement aside, the number one biggest issue with the game is the way stats work. There is a reason why mechanics like hit vs evasion do not exist in games like WoW or Gw2. This way of doing stats basically creates an all or nothing itemization environment that grossly encourages P2W. Other games, like WoW, purposely stay away from these all or nothing models. Things like evasion only exist in the way of active skills which last only a few seconds before going on cooldown. Basically, endurance should be the only passive defense stat in the game while evasion should only exist on skills. Hit rating should be removed entirely. This would level the playing field tremendously. Better gear would still give you a massive advantage, but skill expression would shine out more (Gw2 is the best example of this that I know of). As for Eclipse, it's fine the way it is. This is a PvP game and it should stay that way. Eclipse won't stop people from playing this game. Being unable or unwilling to P2W will.
Its just like tanks why play one when loot is tied to damage
Remove alliances. Fixes most PvP issues when it comes to guilds dominating. I don't care about eclipse, it's fine. You talked about bow issues, I'll mention Great sword has an annoying issue when using charged skills. You sometimes stop mid charge and your character randomly repositions. It's so frustrating. I agree with pretty much everything you said in this video. I really do find it annoying to find my target in large scale PvP lol. Be careful with the balancing though, like you said, it could inadvertently screw up things. Tanks do indeed do well in small scale, but large scale I'd say no. You're just a meat shield as enemy range just destroy you. Better have a dedicated healer for tanks or you get smoked pretty quick, at least in my experience. Everyone wants me dead lol.
1. For me PVP was fun during the first 10-15 days re-lived my Aion days basically lol but now it feels so unbalanced i have 3500+cs 15k hp wand/longbow and get one shot by a heavy spender his skill did a crit + heavy attack - 7985x2 (i have magic evasion build while the enemy was melee/ranged)
2. Funny you mentioned that your performance dropped since in my case game performance is way better now with new patches tho i have a rtx3080 but still cant play large scale pve/pvp need that frame gen lolz
I like the game as well although less and less as the days pass
fair points, but damn 35k lucent you rich boy :D
Staff skills are described horribly and the focused firebomb constantly gets stuck in mid cast animation and you can only get it to go away by dodge rolling so aka wasting your stamina... its horrible and it happens so often in pvp
You underestimate the ability of Americans to survive purely off of government subsidies, and stay logged into the game for 18 hours per day, every day. The eclipse wasn’t toxic in itself, it was toxic because you can’t compete against 280 neets who never leave the house.
they get one boss, u have 5 other bosses u can go to without eclipse interference
@@FRESHY_GGShould a game be balanced around the unemployed? If so, why?
@@FRESHY_GG Do those 5 other bosses drop the one item i need? The answer is no. By the time im off work, juno will probably be peace only once that day for me to play. if its eclipsed then I cant try at all...
@@FRESHY_GG The issue is the good OW bosses' peace mode, specifically Aridus and Junobote, always gets eclipsed. I'm on Talus and this is something Nixx has been doing quite often, which denies any chance to others to get the drop and exclusive access to these items on AH, ensuring there's no competition.
you want casual players be on par with sweaty players nice logic there what's the point of grinding the top 1 spot in kills?
Hey man, sorry to send this here, would send on disc if i knew what yours was, but I wanted to ask you something as someone who plays bow dagger a lot and really seems to know their stuff. I've basically maxed out my main spec's build so far and over the last few days I've been looking into both Xbow Dagger and Bow Dagger as an off spec to role into but my GM (guild master) says it isn't really worth rolling into bow right now due to the nerfs ahead. Do you feel the same way?
I'm mostly a largescale and gvg player but something important to me is that the is still enjoyable in smaller scale. With Staff dagger I've achieved that. Do you think the bow dagger nerfs (shield and flash) will affect it enough to make it not worth me considering rn? Should I just go xbow dagger?
Thanks if you're willing to take a look at this, have a good one bro.
Id say shield is a buff but flash wave nerf doesnt really make too much difference if those are your 2 worries. Its about how fun it is for you
I joined a guild that was looking for pvpers since I finally got my build together. 2 days later the active players left to join the megaguild. A server merg would be nice.
Good video.
Also, need to remove the flash wave from the game or at least nerf it(dmg and size). Good thing they nerf the passive shield on KR already.
Performance is a huge issue in mass fights, there so many things which are running on tick which we don’t need, there are useless logics which nobody cares about, for example, eye blinking.
They should just remove alliance system from this game, add a resurrection skill, and decrease guild size, this will bring more skill based fights.
Targeting system… don’t even want to talk about it. As a developer I can’t understand how they can’t improve it for so long.
I love having no penalty for leaving a dungeon especially if they won’t kick a tank that is wand/staff! I can re queue quickly and find a decent group
I follow your vids and am currently rocking your build. I have to chime and say i wholeheartedly disagree with a couple of your opinions.
For one, the schedule IS broken, but not because of the rift-stones. Because all world bosses and events are drastically skewed in one end of the day and always on the same hour. As a digital nomad from a completely different region, due to archaic region-locks and licensing, i play the night shift and have absolutely NOTHING to do. I get the server is less populated, im ok with that, there is always enough people online to group up and cities dont feel too empty. But the fact that there are zero world bosses for us to do is just spiteful. What does the server lose from having somehting for us to do too? Im not saying take away the current world bosses, just add night time fights.
As a second thing, i am glad Junobote is no longer gate-kept by, as you yourself confirmed, bloated botting ultrazerg alliances that feed their top botters with PVP kills just to keep the utterly broken weather and time of day changing skills. Whoever thought that would ever be a good idea needs to be kneecapped. If it was used as intended by honest guilds that legitimately earn it and then generate healthy compeitition with it, it would be fine. But it's not. The rich get richer and all of us PVE scrubs get ganked out of any interest of playing this game. Yes, there is PVP in this game. No, it is not a PVP game. Go play PVP content, dont force PVP content on carebear grindfarmers. Its pathetic. Punching down just for lols.
Everything else you said was spot on and i would be happy with your proposed changes.
@3:08 this is exactly what i want. bump pvp, feel like this game would be amazing if it heavy focused on pve
i really thought i was the only one having these problems my guildmates almost gaslight me into thinking I'm just bad. all of these are valid and the game is awesome but damn come on
The Eclipse is an exploit mechanic which annoys much more people than it helps, so you end up having people leave the game. Is this to your interest? Whats even the point in killing pve players who dont want to participate in that? No because it creates less competition and even increases the gab between hardcore guilds and normal people. It sounds more like crying that the favored tool gets taken away from you buhu
ive been on the other end in KR being gatekept by KR whales. its not that big of deal, just go to other bosses
@@FRESHY_GGthat's not a solution. The only other way to get these items currently is either by guild raids or auction house. Throne and Liberty advertises guilds as optional, but if the world bosses, the only other option for guildless ppl is being blocked by whales, that's an issue and faulty by design
@@FRESHY_GG You have a very simple minded way of thinking to be honest. So because you went and ate fecal matter and liked it, the rest of the community in global have to eat it too and not complain that it taste like crap? GTFOH lol
@@FRESHY_GG the issue is that you force pve players into pvp for a boss that is flagged as peace and not conflict. If you want an extra reward for beeing the top guild then let them have a battle against each other for some type of loot but let pve players be. Its pathetic to farm pve players in something they didnt even want to participate in.
eclipse just needs a longer cooldown or limit it to 1 use per day
I thought you were a different person, but now I see something different, you shot yourself in the foot with this video, best regards :)
so true.. brain was afk when he uploaded
That unli tornado is so annoying especially when you are fighting at a choke point to push the enemy. I know that you can have collision resist and press Q but there should be a limit of tornadoes you can receive within 3 secs. This makes the tornado skill imbalance in GVG fights.
Cc immunity
That’s too bad about the eclipse thing. That was a really cool mechanic. It led to a lot of insane fights breaking out. I’m surprised they changed it considering you can do all the bosses in your guild raids.
people didnt like it, people complain, amazon forced to change it
CC remove on selfless diffusion is non existent. the game doesnt even let you cast it while you are CCed.
I've tested it versus stun/sleep and it works as intended with that specialization.
It does not state it can remove petrification(freeze), bind(shadow strike/ice spear) or silence(knockdowns) or collision(tornado)
I may test more, but pretty sure it is only able to clear stun and sleep.
@@ne1tu660 I told you its bugged. 10 out of 10 tries , it doesnt even let you cast it while you are stunned. having the CC remove specialization.
@@ne1tu660 watch Arrow got criticized by Kanon for the same thing.
@@AngeloMercado1127 Ahh, okay, I'll take your word for it.
I've only been able to test it during small scale pvp on a different account of mine.
Because you get insta proned after stun making diffusion useless.
I don't think i have ever watched a 16 min rant video in my life and actually agreed with all of it wow, even with the eclipse ranting which is such a sensitive topic, i agree 100% with your logic, but i cannot not see what the others say about it with the "cheating" aspect of it.
You forgot to call out something though i fully expected you to call out in the video, and tbh i don't even want to say it so more people abuse it. I'm immediately joining your dc to pm it to you!
It’s becoming clear that the Zerg issue is slowly but surely undermining the EU servers. I love this game, but if NCSoft continues to let this problem persist, it will be their downfall. By the time they finally address the Zerg problem, most of the player base will likely have already moved on to a new game.
The problem in my server is that there is one dominate guild of 30 and no one is able to beat them even with all the other servers trying to alliance to beat them. They just continue to dominate and there’s nothing we can do
very good video agree with everything
the game is boring there is nothing to do sadly , i loved it but im just bored atm .
New content soon
@@FRESHY_GG if you look at Korea the new content is just some new dungeons ?
my main issue is the pvp "flagging" system, beeing hit before i can hit back its just stupid, having to auto attack to flag and be able to attack back.
3 more skill preset would be so easy to add and such a massive QoL boost... sigh
I was surprised you didn't mention the skill animation bug when your character stays in a casting stance.
I did, when target goes out of range u get bugged
Agree with all of them. And there are plenty more :D Game is not "good enough" to me. Still playing though but only because the trust I have in the devs to fix these issues in the foreseenable future. They (NCsoft) have made GREAT MMOs in past like Lineage2, Aion, Blade'n'Soul where technical issues like these were not present at all and they are very old games too. I just cannot comprehend how the same company is unable to pull off the same quality with their games 15-20 years later. They have nailed the audience and world, and content as well, but these annoying things are really ruining it for me.
imo alliance system should be remove :D let the BEST guild win
Shouldn't reg a guild as hostile do something more that changing color on their names? IDK like enable PvP in open world if both guilds agree to hostility?
In siege they are changing colors
Zerg guilds are the reason why the game is toxic. They’re the equivalent who kick people the first second they join a group without reason.
I'm in a small guild and I feel left out of these fun fights I keep seeing on youtube. Sadly, the guilds in my server Paola on Playstation have become very toxic and egotistic, so it sucks out of the fun of anything. People like me are completely left out of the pinnacle content. My current power is 2500+, I'm not a complete newbie and still, these players have become insanely hostile and toxic, having multiple arguments in global chat sending hateful messages.
Dungeons have also become incredibly annoying with people leaving and being toxic. If you don't play the way they expect you to play, they become hostile and aggressive. There is no penalty for these players whatsoever.
Toxicity is not okay
Any bow satff build traits? Many videos here are outdated and not trust worthy builds based on the comments. Thannk for the hard work
Check whelps
knowing how lazy devs usually are this changes even if approved would take month if not years to come
SNS and GS Stun lock needs to be nerf. I am BOW user and I dislike heal skills, it should only be on wand users!
Party Matchmaking is the worst thing in this game...
Back in the day, you were joining a guild, and you were playing with them every day.
You were doing some 6-man instance pve; you were talking with them and made friends.
Now people only do quick entry with their close friends, and nobody talks to each other anymore.
Nobody has time to have a conversation during PVP content like GVG or World Boss because all you do is listen to calls and focus...
the main issue with co op random is not because they are leaving cause expecting in the last boss , they are out cause the party is unbalanced.
for example i have 3100+ cp ,i don't wanna party with someone with 1600 cp who use green equip and doesn't even understand the mech.
the 1600 cp abused hidden weapon to burden the other at co op random.
it's better to make balanced cp and unhidden weapon at random co op.
Man, if you cannot clear co ops fine with 1600 cp players, you have a skill issue :p PVE in this game is not exactly hard...
Minezerok mechanic bug: After dying from the wave attack and going back to the boss area, the sucking effect still lingers until boss dies.
Something else they need to fix is people rolling dungeons as tank or support just to get a quick que when they are not those specs, dev's needs to make it so only people with sword/shield and wands can roll tank or healer, fed up as a dps waiting 40mins to get in a dungeon just to find we have no healer or tank lol
they could fix the eclipse by just adding at least 1 piece mode boss that is not in a dungeon ... and make something like adentus 2-3 times per day not just 1 so some ppl have a chance to fight it but yeah eclipse mechanic is cool
or they can add a new boss that requires the eclipse. I think that is much simpler and more rewarding for the ones who holds the eclipse. I mean... they worked hard for it (by legit or bot means) so they must have a greater reward for having it, but at the same time it will not frustrating the casual players from getting locked/gatekeeeped from peace bosses.
Eclipse should be like a VIP/exclusive pass. Not a douchebag/party crasher pass.
