Hello all, i quit playing in 2011 or so. I was curious if the whole aps thing is still the main tank/dps/healing standard...

    Its still viable, but not quite as dominant as it was before - especially with the death of Nirvana thanks to Nation Wars.

    APS is still pretty much king in PvE.

    PvP it is "balanced" by more OP stuff :)

    Its only R9 yet :)
    of you want to be competing with the best, yes its going to cost you your car. If however you are ok being mediocre, it is nowadays very easy to get G16 gear. And even at this level where you dont have the new more OP stuff, i believe APS is not too much an issue in pvp. Those who sold their car are the issue in pvp i think :p (but i dont pvp so...)

    due to the insanely op new gear, pve is completely broken; any class can solo anything. hapry or a worldboss that requred half a faction back in the day, can be killed by just one cleric e.g.

    endgame pvp on the other hand is suprprisingly balanced, IF you have decently shaded/refined r9 recast. anything below that has little to no chance to survive a hit.
    as for the broken aps, you can still get a free kill when you manage to stealth aps an aa or la, but that's about it. if the target hits ad in time or if there are more than 1 opponents you'll die instantly due to the defensive limitations of an aps set versus r9. that is why you will not find any aps sins at endgame anymore. zerk crits of a full r9rr sin in chill of deep hits like truck convoy. combined with tidal protection, unlimited chi and stunlocks, sins are still very very dangerous. sins are not a faceroll class anymore, they require skill now. f:stare

    I have yet to see anyone solo faction trials so far, but like I mentioned in another thread, no one seems to do that anymore because MUH REWARDS.

    This game is beyond broken now. What took me 4yrs of play someone can now Plvl in a week and then charge there credit card to win. Im never gonna spend a dime again on this game and sickened at how PW has treated there customers. Aside from the odd BH and NW i find myself playing other games more often now.

    The game can be fun and quite stressful to be honest. There are a lot of plvl characters, r9 has become the ultimate OP, people still rage and whatnot over every little thing. Eh, same old same old almost lol. But some people have beat the odds. There are still a few things kind of fun to do in the game. Nw is kind of fun when everyone's not having a cow about losing or not having everyone r9. Playing with friends at times takes the stress off and you can goof off and whatnot. Bunch of new fashion (if you're a fashionista and care to know. if not, ignore this statement lol). And yes, Nirvana has died because some people complained about Nw taking its slot (although I still don't see why some won't do it at least during the week. Nw's just two days during the weekend X.x). But anywho, game's still kind of the same: stressful at times, fun at times with friends, and annoying at times with the whiners. So, if you want to come back and give it another shot, do so. If you think it's not worth it, well, can't blame you at times lol.

    I like the game now a lot better than I did a few years ago.

    It's changed quite a bit, you should give it another go.

    Nice to see they pay mods to comb every post for anyone mentioning other games yet PW doesn't do anything about how broken this game is. I don't blame the mod for doing there job but its pathetic watching PW rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. Sadly i said the same thing last year yet PW didn't learn there lesson.

    For all the friends I've played with in these past 4yrs

    People act like the game is 10% PVE and 90% PVP, so who cares if PVE is easy?

    I personally believe the company is doing something wrong if they have this much negative feedback from its consumers.

    If I had a dime for every time I was wrong, I'd be broke.

    Go to any game's forum. Gamers QQ everywhere. Ye maybe a little less in some and a little more in others, but i find it hard to judge a game by the customers QQ. Even when i played the greatest game made in human history (starcraft 1, not chess) i was amazed to see people complaining on the forums all the time.

    Its that same problem as people claiming nerfed drop rates you know. The happy people you dont hear. The unhappy ones shout their lungs out.

    Regardless, i hope they will add PvE content that is challenging for our G16 /APS Gears :)
    And maybe some PvP that gives just enough reward to draw enough people, where you fight in balanced teams and is available 24/7.
    Problem with that G16 instance is, what are we gonna get out of it ? G17? (while they make R10 for CSers) And then i guess it wont be challenging anymore :p

    Oh really? I could have sworn I have seen treasure hunting bosses (ones that drop chrono page) that bramble themselves made APS toons suicide easily. I guess you didn't try going for those quests f:laugh

    @ The OP, just forget about the game, because PWE likes to bring gear more overpowered than the last ones with a higher price meaning you have to wait for a while, CS, getting billions are not possible in like half a month like liars on this forum say (for endgame gears). Just play uno with your friends or something, because it will become in vain once you get the equipment because people like these overpowered gear for even PVE.
    Sage barb in progress.

    Yeah farm what? DQ's? Yeah good luck getting enough coin farming dq's to get anything. Crafting mats? Sure if you make alts and keep them around those lvl's by feeding genies exp and that's only if you want to try mercing. TT? Sure if you have a class that can farm it or freinds that still play this game that are willing to go with you.

    BH- all about luck
    FC- no one buy's anymore heads this day's
    Farm DQ- are you kidding?
    Farm herbs - who the hell buy that? Even if you sell it take hours to farm and cost very very low
    FWS- no one buy's mold or craft service anymore not to say weapons T3 cost 50 mil less then you spend to make ....
    NW- the prices for raps and canny's go so low that it is not worth the trouble, not to say only idiots spend 5 mil on HP charms lol

    Put real money in game --R9 in 10 minutes lol
    That is what the game is about......There are more but i am to lazy now.
