Why cant they just make both FBI and the master version epic trial requirement same at 3k. I mean that 100 and 200 ilvl doesnt make that much of a difference. Or does it?

I'm 4k il... and I doubt I will ever do fbi related maps... I am burnt out on gathering voninblod, building ever frost resistance, begging for parties, burnt out on collecting fish, burnt out on not having bag space to collect fish, burnt out on changing game mechanics, burnt out on random bugs that break my enjoyment, burnt out of new refinement items.

The pleasure of challenges and the thrill of completion just don't exist anymore. It all feels so.... repetative.

Bonding are a complete joke... pre mod 6 items had their set bonuses removed, Weapons and armors that is.. why do they allow the super power of bonding's but remove the armor bonuses of old sets.

If anything is game breaking its bonding's plus companions plus rings that allow one player to take a boss down solo In less than 40 seconds.

I feel the voice we once had, and all the work we put in to this game has been done for nothing, because so easily all that we work for and save are taken away from us without proper justification.

I lost trust, faith, and hope in this company.

The unrestored relic weps drop as part of the SoMI questline (yellow) missions. The stuff you need to restore them drops from HEs, fishing (and treasure hunting), crafted from max level professions, daily/weekly SoMI quests, and of course a hefty dose of voidnoidbloid. The account-bound mega marks you need to upgrade the weps drop from Svarblarg's 3 super-campaign-chests (normal for lower tiers, master for higher tiers). The grind for all of this is hilariously discouraging.

PS: I might have gotten a detail wrong or two, but hopefully you get the idea.

Actually, looking over the thread I may have gotten it twisted RE: the difference between normal and master Snarlblarg.

You don't need to run Fangbreaker in order to restore or upgrade a relic weapon, which is primarily what the rewards for both versions of Assault on Svardborg focus on.

That being said, the master version does drop Ostorian Tale Carvings once per week that may be traded for testimonies in Bryn Shander which may be used to vivify your relic armor from Fangbreaker and increase its item level. So you will need to run Fangbreaker in order to make use of the tale carvings, however, as you need to complete Fangbreaker in order to unlock Assault on Svardborg (Master) the order plays out logically in terms of obtaining and restoring relic armor.

It's possible all the account-bound marks drop in both normal and master, it's kind of unclear. Master for sure drops the stuff you need for venividivici relic armor. It's possible that master has better drop rates, or maybe what I said with high level marks only drop from master, or maybe none of that. Sorry for the wishy-washy update.

I haven't unlocked it yet on live so I can't confirm first hand.

As someone who mainly pug, I have to pass on FBI and AoS. FBI may be puggable if you beg in PE for a group. But queuing is not feasible. Forget about AoS where you need nine other people who can get in. You need to be in a large guild to have be able to run them consistently.

I'm pretty much been grinding AD for next weeks events. After that, I'll be taking a break and wait to see how mod 11 will be. Maybe mod 10 was just a cash grab and a way to redistribute AD from the AD-wealthy players. Hopefully mod 11 will have gear that can be attain with a more reasonable grind. They don't even need to be as powerful as the mod 10 weapons. Anyone who gets a mod 10.5 weapon to legendary deserves to have the best weapon for the next two or three mods.

tom

mod 10 is exactly what it should be.
Its finaly a dungeon for ppl who want a challange and thats what matters. For all the puggers out there yeah maybe this mod is not for u. Guess what the last 3 mods where made for u so let the "better" players have their enjoiment for this 1 mod.

namelesshero347

Somehow, I don't think even the "better" players enjoy the grind just to get in to the flagship content where they have to grind some more. But they can always pay.

santralafax

...

tom

Most of the ppl i play with basicly dont want to run any dungeon besides FBI anymore cause the others are so borring

demonmonger

The whole game is boring now...

artifleur

Trolls are boring too.

You may be better at the game, maybe it's compensation for your spelling ability. Anyhow, the point the OP made was that they don't have a group of regular people to form a group with. That doesn't make them bad but you go ahead and pat yourself on the back.

Worst troll ever?

I have seen pretty much nothing but complaint and worse about mod 10, but hey, there always that (special) someone...

spideymt

I like tom,

i dont think he is a troll. Making fun about his spell ability is kinda rude. I know for sure english isnt his native language ( isnt mine too ^^). I think he is just upset about some fixes in the past. Plz dont be mean to him.

BTT:
I think its a good idea to make normal and master svard. I compare it with demorgon. Both are 10 ppl raids and both got normal and master mode. I like the idea about a "prequest FBI" for master svard.

its an MMO its about finding groups of friends to play with. if thats not what u want to do go play singleplayer games

Thin ice, tom ^^.

FBI is doable by any group of well geared players.. it doesnt have to be BIS players.. any group that has the r12s in offense slots and r12 bondings and such can do it in 40-45 mins. You dont have to be optimized and such, it just lessens the time, you want get the 25 min runs, unless you have some serious DPS that are more or less optimized and a bunch of people who understand buffing synergies.

There was no reason to gate in the manner they did.. there was no real reason to bring back empowered items either , but they did both.

Same with the weapons.. unlock HAMSTER, fish and do hes for hours,, then hit a rng wall for marks.

It will cost you millions to skip the grind on the weapons in terms of AD.

I find it a fallacy to say its a great challenge to finish FBI.. its only a great challenge for any group that either , can do basic movements, or b.. wants to try to do it with a bunch of R8s on. (which techincally you can try.. as you can achieve 3.1 with only r8s.

I probably wont be doing SVARLDBLOG at all.. just because I dont find the game fun at this juncture. The grind outweighs the fun for me , it always did, but when it was a factor of grind 2 times for 1 times the fun, it was ok, but mod ten is more like grind 5x for 1x the fun.. too much for me.

its highly doubtful they will change any of it now though..

Then why does it allow pugs..?

It's an mmo (obviously) but people play how they want to play. Some like to form friendships and some don't have time for that (demanding job/family/life/etc) - so they group up with whoever when they have free time. You don't get to dictate who plays and you don't get to dictate how they approach the game. Which from what I've seen so far is a good thing.

tom

cant be that hard to go to PE and write LF4M FBI gf/op/dc/dps
u just have to realise the pug system by cryptic is HAMSTER, but you can get a group for FBI faster and with close to 100% succesrate just by forming a group in PE

spideymt

Mmmmhhh....im very often in PE, but it was really very rare that i saw any "LF4M FBI...". Is there a specific time when i maybe can read it more often? This would be very helpfull for a lot of ppl.

forumnamesuxs

You can read it every time you type it in to chat. Everyone is allowed to use /lfg for any content they want to play, and make a group for.

Guess wot. This is what i excactly tried: "LF4M FBI, need DC/GF/OP/DPS". How many do you think did response?
Thats why i asked if there is a specific time when its easier to get theese groups or when theese messages are more often in PE /LFG.
Do you have a time where i easier can find a group?

tom

hmmm it works every time when i use it to search groups

You search in PE ppl from your friendlist? Or do you build random groups for FBI in LFG chat and make new friends? Im just curious.

voidgift

I have met many people in this game, and I can put them all in one of two categories. The 'successful' people that have gotten their gear and enchanta ranked up quick and found good guilds. And the 'not so successful' ppl. that either quit out of boredom or took forever to rank up, either because of choise or ignorance or other reasons. The 'successful' ones are those that were spamming lfg channel in PE. They always got there first.

And by 'successful' above, I only mean having beaten all the content in the game and ranked up quickly. Not the amount of fun or personal achievement you had while doing it.

yeah u know sometimes i cant build a group from my friendlist/guild. its very rare but like 1 out of 100 runs it happens. These times when i look for ppl in PE i always found a group rather quick.
And sometimes i run with PE/channel ppl to get to know new ppl and make new friends.
btw arent u busy with guild stuff?^^
