I know all too well those feelings against those "bullies". It once caused me stress irl so bad that it affected my day job. Here's some suggestions on how to deal with those mutherfuckahz based on personal experience. 1.) Revenge or fighting back just as what Beau suggests. Thing is this only works if ya able to win against em and tends to become even more frustrating if ya fail. Another thing is that those "bullies" intend to make you sad and/or angry at them expecting you to fight back and fail over and over again, thus your vengeance only serves the validation of their success. 2.) Call for Help. Very much the same as revenge^ except this involves relying on allies. It's really sad when no one comes for help. And unless those professional noobkillers hack/cheat, ya cant expect any help from GS/GM no matter how many times they interfere with your affairs. 3. Ignore em just as what Box said. This is arguably the best course of action. "Get used to it" is our anthem but most importantly "DONT BECOME LIKE THEM". 4. Mock em (my personal favorite). They relish in crushing weaklings underneath their soles but they would hate to step on to a big pile of shit. I say be a shit! ... Metaphor aside, seriously, one sure way to hurt their ego is to overfeed em. They pick on noobs cuz they wanted easy kills so I gave em exactly that by goin buck naked. I simply fed em stupidly easy kills until they got bored and/or realize that I'm ridiculing em. p.s. After I become geared enough, in 1v1 bg, I pvp using only alpha gears whenever I face folks I highly respect knowing they'd respond accordingly. Not to mock but to spice up the otherwise boring bg. Damn I miss u guys.

A vending machine in mereholt sells em for 200 rank points + 20 silver each... not a good deal so dun buy it. Better farm em from mobs. Any mobs will do. Pet foods also given away as rewards for doing certain quests. Pet foods are hard to obtain in enocia but it should be pretty easy to farm em in mereholt especially in Bitterstone Core (dungeon).

Certain vending machines sell those emotes. Ya can find em in any BG, Delilah, and maps other than Enocia. Each cost 1k RP (Rank Points) so it might be difficult to obtain in lower levels. Ya can hunt spies and do dailies in Caergate for RP but that would take a looooog time. Better farm RP in Villedon (lv38-39). Dance is built in to your toon. No need to buy anythin for it. Thing is, ya can only dance on certain spots in Delilah Hall.

The free uni gears in lv40 is legit good cuz they're not "base". They have stats similar to normal uni gears but come ready-to-use without the need for uni laser scanner. A +8 or +9 rare gear set at lv39 should be enough to beat Ignis Vortex. PU can outDPS those debuff while SW can clense em, dunno bout how other classes do it tho. But if ya reaaally wanna be sure to beat IV, then better be at least lv43 to be able to use those above-mentioned free uni gears. this but if ya toon is either SE or SW, then better enhance shoes instead cuz it gives high eva which is a must for these eva-based classes.

Nemesis have escort missions, mystic boxes, and RP mobs. That's plenty enough to keep ya busy PVEwise. None of those activities you can benefit for the long run tho. In terms of solo leveling, nemesis is where the fun ends. I suggest using those minor exp boosters to get the hell outta there and proceed to Ellis (lv50+). Pvp in this lv cap used to be good enough a year an a half ago. One day they realize that in order to funnel people towards endgame, everything fun in lower level caps must be tuned down. And so when admin decided to kill lv55 NB, pvp in nemesis and ellis died along with it. I still have my lv49 sw in FK tho. I promise to sign up for BG if I ever log in that toon. Nemesis aside. There is no shortcut towards lv65. It seems like they cant increase any further exp gained from mobs. If that's the case then why not instead greatly decrease certain mobs' hp and shorten their respawn in DV?

In my reminisce, almost two years ago when I first started SB, uni rank 1 jewels are quite abundant and cheap. Like 1.8k gold for a uni rank 1 crit-atk. Even factoring in inflation and it was still waaay lot cheaper than now. So was it easier to go full uni back then? Definitely. ^my offshoot ok-boomer sentiment Seriously, such is change. Take it or leave it. This thread, less than about the issue of wasted efforts, is more about some people who cant accept that the higher grounds they once stood upon is now a leveled playing field. People uncomfortable being at par with everybody else. As for me, I'll keep using rares for all of my toons until uni crit-atk rank 2 sell 1k each.

would have been convincing to rant like that immediately after the patch that flooded the market with uni costumes and ancient spanners

Now people feel someone's absence in TA... Karma for those of ya who held Jesse in derision. That aside, crafting it may sound good but what ya guys suggestin do not make it accessible for lower levels. Its funny that unique delta gears sell 10g while scanners sell 200g. Every newbie can buy a uni delta but not all can use em, sad. That said, my suggestion is to make those uni scanner drop in SF and all higher DGs.

It's intended to discourage soloing world bosses. Good luck, introverts! ...😭

Madfly looks like a trash bin that's because it's a trash pet. Just throw it away... I mean the madfly, not any trash bins. What he means by AP pets are Rapture, Efil, Derpy, Kelpie, and some others. Madfly can hit lv40 but would only gib ya 3000hp while AP pets gib a whopping 8000hp. If ya plan to reach endgame, then maybe it's better to have that AP pet asap cuz it takes almost a month to lv it up to 40. If I'm not mistaken, madfly levels up faster than AP pets... but it's not worth the effort cuz you would inevitably want to have an AP pet. As for the transferability of chips, it's all good to transfer any chip from one pet to another as long as the pets are of the same owner. I mean, you can transfer all chips you use in your madfly to your Efil but you cannot transfer any unlocked chips to any other character's pet.

About the types of people... we have salties, shitties, bullies, flame lords, indignants, show-offs, crabs, beggars, and all sort of trolls. 😆 But beyond that there are far many nice people.

I saw a peculiar sight in my cousin's screen. Took some ss and so here they are~ Who am I to judge? I was guilty of doing a bit of these back in the emptiness of Ellis a year ago. Didnt ever farm my own alt for kills tho. And so I told my noob cousin to leave em alone. Half an hour later he summoned me to show the following. Me and my cousin discussed about it. I argued "This happens cuz you're not joining BG." and he eloquently threw those words right back at my face. anyways, I say farming BG like that is no big deal except for the part of killing your own alt. But whadd'ya guys say?

Costumes significantly decreased and I haven't got any ancient spanner from running hard mode solo since last week. "Challenge" mode my azz. Not sure whether the challenge iz bout the difficulty of beating the dg or the formation of pt. Eitherways, ya guys forcin team mode too much. I know a better mode. It's called "indefinite hiatus" mode.

around 35 mins btw

I wish I had known early on. Well I guess there's no point in tryin that gear out now that fix is commin the next few days. curse sand for blowin up da whistle 😛

that explains why I never knew about it it's existence... So would it be reverted back to it's usual uselessness next patch?

My problem procs with the same extent regardless of whether it's set in 1280x720 or 1600x900. I guess it's not about the resolution. And I already fiddled with those .xml before but nothin seems about fps.

Tested! Results: Problem persists... sad I guess this problem is about the potato itself and has little or nothing to do with FPS at all. At least this potato runs more quiet now thanks to the reduced load. Well, thanks a lot after all. 😃

It's working now! Thanks a lot! Will see how this would do in AK. 😍

Tried to run RTSS.exe but nothing happened. I mean, it didn't even launch.

^ didnt work. More like I dunno how to make it work. Sorry I'm a complete idiot on these matters.

Any idea how to limit the game's FPS to around 30 or less? There doesn't seem any in-game option to do it. I'm already using the lowest graphix quality yet my screen almost always freezes for a while when in mass pvp. I'm dead everytime that happens. Just recently figured out that my FPS spikes up when lots of people using skills simultaneously within proximity. My potato cannot handle that thus screen sticks and sometimes lead to a crash.

Pardon the quality. My potato can only do so much. 1st boss: Exposition of my gear. Btw, That's my anti-tank pvp set of gear and skills. Killing the minions asap by cyberclusters and aoe skills including the special one. Forgot to cleanse that boss' nasty debuff thus I almost died. Screen froze when I accidentally pressed "m" key. 2nd boss: The least difficult boss. Nothing special. 3rd boss: I messed up a lot. Used laser focus and ghost walk to reset the agro of the summoned minion. Final boss: Same strategy as the first boss in swift liquidation of the minions. True pain debuff icon disappeared without the necessary cleanse but the effects remained and it's too late before I realized thus I failed. Final boss again: It really takes time to kill those minions without the special aoe skill. Still have the same issue in true pain debuff but this time I made sure to cleanse regardless.

I reset one of my SW into a pve skills and equipped with pve gears for optimal pve dps. Somehow I got slightly worse time tryin to beat the hard mode compared to my pvp setup. Weird. that aside. I've been usin maxed preciscion since halloween patch. Right now I dun really feel the loss of the atk bonus from it. More like those atk bonuses were not there to begin with and that those increase in stats were just for show that didnt really have effects in actual combat.

Instead of having hard mode solo and the worthless normal mode solo, why not make it (ch-)eva mode and void mode? One mode only have op (ch-)eva debuffs while the other only have op void debuffs. Or shud I say make eva-based dg and tank-based dg instead of tryin to shove team mode in our asses.
