once you combine 2 rings you cant even upgrade them anymore... so 2 level 20 rings combine into a level 1 ring that you cant upgrade because the item isnt in the game.

so since its "released".. WHERES MY GAME?

@MEGAF1UX burn out is a b**ch lmao

i guess. its different for me since i KNOW whats coming, for them they just see nothing to entertain them.

aka: wheres the REST of my effing game? "we will have everything they have in japan".

also.. how did fishing make it in if crafting didnt?

@Subject-Astra we all know how much b/s game companies engage in. im sure in their heads "exclusive to north america" means "exclusive".

we also DONT have confirmation of a steam release officially, only evidence of one.

without the people writing these articles showing actual sources they can all be treated with a grain of salt. hopefully the quickly dwindling population motivates them to release sooner rather than later.

XBOX should have a big enough player base they won't need us for a while

A couple players have already stopped because they've gotten everything to max level iirc.

"a couple"?! try "the majority". they are failing because they arent showing off what the game actually has to offer which doesnt motivate people to continue playing. no crafting, AWFUL UQ's, no fourth suggested mission (also no bonus levels), the 300%/400% drop boosters most people are convinced do absolutely nothing, and very little reason to realistically pimp gear out because most affixes and indeed gear itself isnt in the game. people could only grind AQ's so much before it became tedious and painful! a bit over 3 dozen people started with me on day 1 of open beta, 2 of us remain. theres no classes left for me to max, its not like i can realistically grind for gear (if a 13 star does drop its usually a spear or gun blade..) and they still have the starter collection folders up (ooh 8* trash that will be obsolete by the time you finish the folder), i dont need money, and fashion alone will NOT sustain this game. they also decided to slap everyone in the face who paid to redo their skill tree today by handing out reset sheets FOR NO REASON!

to be honest ill be surprised if there IS a NA PC release at this point. i would say they have lost 85% of their players from the first week of open beta.

its kind of like i wasted 700$ (so far) because i could just as easily have stayed on JP and had twice the fun.

You're kind of the outlier, man. Most people aren't going to be playing the game as hard or as fast as you; and while I wholeheartedly agree that they're doing a pretty poor job repping the content (I don't know a single person who wasn't actively tired of Elder before this maint and it'll be the same with luthor, and based on this pattern they'll do the same to TD and then PD) - the average person is still leveling their first or second class. Let alone having all of them maxed; and you can't base a game solely around appealing to that hardcore 1% of players who play literally non-stop in the most optimal ways because there's literally no way to keep that kind of player wholly satisfied for long.

Then there's the fact that you use language like calling free skill passes a "slap in the face" because you paid for one. Aside from the fact that everyone and their mother had predicted free skill passes: buying a skill tree reset was a choice of yours. It's incredibly myopic to act like other people being given scraps is an insult because you ate a meal. It's not like you were specifically excluded from the free skill reset pass because you previously paid for a reset.

And if you feel like you wasted seven hundred dollars on this game, then maybe you shouldn't have spent seven hundred dollars on an open beta of an eight year old MMO? I don't know what you expected. But even in JP the game isn't exactly pay to win so talking about how much money you spend and getting upset that literally everyone is being given free stuff isn't going to win you any favors.

slow down there cowboy, i never bought ANY resets, i bought ONE "additional" tree because i wanted to have hunter as both sub and main. i dont expect them to make content for people like me, infact no company ever has been able to push out content faster than i can destroy it so i certainly wouldnt expect sega to do it. however it took a bit over a week for CASUALS to hit level cap and start flooding the market with their finds, a week later they got bored and left. the phrase "slap in the face" was actually use by someone in my alliance, i would personally much rather people had to LEARN from their mistakes. usually theres a REASON resets are given out, there was no REASON for this aside from "people are dumb". it IS a slap in the face though, and i understand the frustration EVERYONE who paid for one must feel (i warned EVERYONE i play with NOT to fk up their skill points or they would have to pay).

i spent the money to support the game... this feels like giving $ to a stripper to later find out shes a dude, because they arent supporting their own game properly. i only brought it up because of colds signature.

shall we also talk about offering people 50% boosters to resub for 30-90 days? i wipe my rear end with 50% tri boosters! thats not motivation to resub! they should have added CONTENT if they wanted people to pay for more time in game, not given the crappiest consolation prize they could.

@SpookyOh said in AC for open beta?:

@MEGAF1UX First off, presenting as fact? A bet is not fact. Secondly, PR is a very important part of any game. They relay info to players and keep a social network open. So now I will present it as fact that they know the basic road map for the game and I will bet they get daily or at least weekly info on things going on.

So could you please calm down the rage all over the forums.

and NONE of what you said implies they have direct contact with the developers to ASK A QUESTION.

@GamerKillance said in pc beta?:

That isn't delusion. You're making a claim consoles are dying and the sales show otherwise. I never once denied that PC gaming wasn't on the rise, but consoles still outsell them due to costs alone. Even the link you posted shows no numbers to back up its claim.

I find it fascinating you used a very biased blog rather than sales numbers like I did. Is there a reason you arent posting the outright numbers for PC?

do you even know how a pc works? consoles CANT outsell them. you would have to count every pc sold + every gpu sold in a given year and compare those numbers to console sales IN THE SAME YEAR to get even close to relevant, but the truth is some people are gaming on pc that havent bought any new hardware in several years.

it doesnt matter what source i use you are going to be the console fanboy and call it biased anyways.

just like nintendo fanboys pretend the switch is a valid "console". its not, its grossly underpowered as a console and its real competition is mobile, which means its getting absolutely destroyed by android and ios.

RIGHT NOW i can play ALL xbox exclusives on my pc and alot of playstation exclusives on my pc (gamepass+ playstation now) god of war, halo, persona, crapdown 3, horizon zero dawn.. whatever. SO the logic that "a console is cheaper than a pc" has officially flown out the window because now you have to compare the price of a pc to the cost of BOTH consoles. it doesnt end there though, you also have to replace controllers, charging stations, headsets, etc. with the new console.. meanwhile i can use ANY controller i want on pc, even the 20+ year old ones. pc also has things like ea access premier, uplay+, and humble monthly.. i mean when we arent paying atleast 20% less for games at launch anyways.

so why own a console? its not like you cant connect a pc to a tv, the games we are paying less for are of MUCH higher quality than their console counterparts (and we can use mods), and we have backwards compatibility dating back to the 70s!

why own a console? ignorance.

mobile is eating away at consoles, it doesnt eat away at pc though.
