  1. yep most likely

    we get death knight update in 4 months but let's see when korea will add in their next update if it will include the male erthia or not but keep in mind we're talking about at least another year before it comes to us

  2. to be clear I'm trying to give advise based on my experiences & growth of char over time and not on how my char is right now as that would be totally unrealistic for any new player as no new player will be able to become a top 20 server member out of the blue like that with a full understanding of the game / class etc that comes along with it

    now as he is asking about GK set up let's talk about just that and not get derailed into other Tyr types or Evi class

    gear wise I would really just stick with the l2store exalted pack as it is truly a big value pack with many decent starter boost items gear wise as well buff pots etc.

    items wise upto lvl 110 and pending budget sure u can use normal pcrit damage sa's & items but mind you that after 110 you really will want to change those to pskill crit damage / pskill power /pskill crit rate and elemental patt type of items

    just start small with like +3 to +5 artifacts/agathion charms of such and save money for a +10 to +12 PVE R110 weapon, skip  R99 weapons and for armor a +10 R99 Bloody light set is pretty decent but if u upgrade the exalted set to +10 then well u can keep use that until after the weapon upgrades and slowly work up towards a +8 or +10 R110 light armor set

    key take away here is unless your rich and have high disposable pool of money to invest you will need to take small steps for every upgrade and over time you will see you char get stronger and having easier a time doing things ingame

    my advise is to make a list /excel sheet with an overview of all upgrades that would help ur current char, rank that to priority & affordability and use that as a goal to work towards, keep those targets realistic and update it as ur char progresses - keep an daily eye on the market situation & events as those can make certain items drop or increase hugely in value which u can leverage for either trying to make profits or for bargains to improve ur char as some items really make more sense to buy during an event when their availability is ample and prices low etc.

    closing note here from me is to unless you're a big spender forget thinking of any real PVP or Oly type of competition as those require serious money investments - it's not something you will achieve with spending 5 or even 15k USD so best to let that go until you're sure that's something worth your time and/or money

  3. on naia apparently stuff is quite sad if you're being serious here

    not sure why u mention those points when no new player will be dealing with real dragon mobs any time soon as that's 118+ content let alone the fact majority of new player will not have the budget for a stage1 dragon weapon or even a +12 R110 weapon so erm o0?

    my feedback is based on my experience with gear ranging from +16 R99 to +14 R110 limited -> +21 -> +30 and these days stage2 yeah but I'm fully aware of each step and which dps build worked best for the level/gear ranges - also during those gear upgrades my level also increased as it goes from 105 (from when 105 was no longer the level cap and before we got R110 gear) to 110 with the +16 R99 and then to 112/115 with the +14/+21 R110 and to 118 with the +30 and currently on my way to 120+ with the stage2 - this also covers a time frame of ~3 years and the changes in the difficulty of the available hunting zones

    I disagree with ur focus on dragon weapons here as that's not your typical starting point nor is it fully true and there are many other items that will influence these types of builds like artifacts / agathion charms / brooch jewels / epic jewelry / dyes / skill oe

    @Hime could you move this topic to the warrior section as it doesn't really belong here and there are more Tyr builds discussed there to show more different opinions / approaches so the OP can have a better understanding what it really is he should be looking at/taking in consideration ?

     

  4. you're aware FistingTime is a close friend of mine right ? he used skill dps on his Evi, he was basically perma Oly hero on the class till he changed class to GK and regardless of that I know many Evi's on Chronos that changed build too or rerolled class with stone destiny as even on new amazon servers melee lag does still exist even if not as bad as it used to be but that hurts Evi class very much.

    I know several meastro players and those also preferred skill dps build over normal pcrit damage, my "dual class" is a 112 doombringer and the former doombringer hero is a clannie of mine who also is fully skill damage set up

    so yeah for Tyr it's very important to be able to do aoe damage and skill crit damage/power scales way better then normal crit damage

    of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but anyone who knows Chronos server or me knows that I actually used to be super stacked normal pcrit damage build till the melee lag forced me to change and being able to compare both set ups at end game level can safely say the skill damage set up is really the better route here for pvp and/or pve

    to recap: as explained in my previous post normal pcrit damage build is the low budget approach until you can afford the better dps build

  5. really why do ppl have to ask this question when it's pretty much obvious this is about the more advanced macro's like those that ppl use to auto accept resurrection while afk or logs chars to sign up for Oly / CoC fully automated & afk  or have chars port to places / instances to give buffs and port out on a loop while afk etc etc

    basically if you're doing stuff now with smart out of game macro's that you used to do with zR in the past then you know the answer ;)

  6. that wasn't even a bad suggestion lol

    there's more needed to properly refine it all but stuff like that is a start in the right direction

    and yes the hardest part is convincing Korea changes are needed as they do not have this hide in 14man clans problem at all

    Just a bit of curiosity... If i keep my keys pressed from F1 to F8 with masking tape, that isnt different from a simply macro of my mouse. so, should ill be banned using masking tape? 

    I think if im afk, is my responsability if something goes wrong and lose "something" in game.

    I asked this to GMs in the past and they said something like "You can use macro from kb/mouse, but you cant use things that cant be make it with a normal kb/mouse". from that i understand:

    I cant use intelligence, something like: if ur hp is lower than X then do something.

    This is an Old game and ppl who is playing are 30+, ofc anyone have time to play 8hrs daily like some of us did in the past haha. Macros AFK are a helpful tool for all of us. 

    nah that's a simple thing, the basic macro's aren't the real issue and you wont get banned for such

    there's a clear difference though between simple macro's and the advanced ones that some players use for auto sign oly or auto accept ress or port to certain instance zone to give buffs and auto port out on a loop - those type of macro's are banneable

  8. nah it will only get more funny when the vitality rune is gone on all those higher level chars as then they will re focus on pure adena farm which means places like Neutral Zone and Stronghold 1 will be really overrun by high level chars

    I know I will do so for real as I have explained in this topic before, can't even fault those players for this as it's a cost/benefit situation and well those zones are way to profitable to ignore and any new players be damned.

    all "Working as intended" by NC Korea design

  9. to be more clear: I do find fault with NCWest staff in that they do not have a clear policy on their forums for their Moderators/Community team to make that point abundantly clear every time someone makes a post asking about it's legality or pretends it's legal usage for afk game play as this causes and/or encourages wrong player behavior who when reported/get banned may not even be aware they broke the rules.

    ignorance is not really an excuse but how hard is it to be more transparent about the rules around mouse/keyboard etc macro's if only to lower the amount of tickets/petitions on "why did you ban my account" etc. to your Support team

    it's better to Educate then to Punish players won't you agree ?

    95% of server is using macro keyboard/mouse or need ban all server.... and btw officially ncwest told that is Allowed...lorddragnil you dont need hide the truth xD

    no NCWest Staff ever said it was allowed in the way you suggest so stop the false information

    yes you can use mouse and/or keyboard macro's when you're at PC but when afk it's banneable, you go ask any NC staff if it's allowed to use non-ingame macro's for afk automated game play and watch their answer - just cause NC suck at enforcing their rules doesn't mean it's legalized.

    watch what happens when you report players who use automated mouse pixel macro's for auto ress or port to Toi for give buffs and then auto port out on a loop.. those players will get ban, just requires others to report them which imho is a flawed and abusive system - it should be NC GM team to step up their game to deal with such blatant cheating.

    don't get me wrong every player would love to use out of game macro's that way but most of us don't want to risk getting banned over it.

    @Hime @LIME @Juji when will you guys actually make that abundantly clear in the UELA so ppl can stop pretend it's legal ?

  11. the current changes shifts the focus of the stronger old player base from xp/farming in their own level range to making alts equipped with their stronger gear for faster & easier adena farm and thus pushing out the player for whom the initially well intended changes were made

    the end result is a total joke though and as said before in other topic here, see below screenshot, the flaw in the design is making lower places get same or even better adena then the high end content - solution is simple either nerf the lower places or boost the higher end but do NOT leave them the same as then there's zero reason for the stronger older players to progress their chars and new players have no change at all against them creating huge unhappiness / mass quit as result.

    oh and in all seriousness if those changes are not made well then only more old players will do the same as seriously why would I at 119 bother farm adena in DragonValley with much higher cost in boost items if I can do more adena in Neutral Zone without using any boost items - do you think any new player has any chance against a player like me at all ?

  12. let's circle back here, the real issue is the disparity between adena drops in old places versus this new neutral zone so this development is something NC could have seen coming from a mile away

    also there seems to be the perception ppl are entitled for safe farm there lol.. in Korea ppl can not farm there afk, u get pked or pulled away by tanks - only live players that can defend themselves in pvp xp there in Korea so why would anyone here think it will be any different ?

    beyond that plz continue with the flames

    Everyone would be happy, but they decide to milk players.

    no it got to the point that several top spenders including myself got tired of this, the Return on Investment on these store promo's aren't worth it and the nett result for players to improve their chars is going thru a free fall lately

    good thing it's Summer and COVID restrictions are being eased/lifted - time to do something better with our time & money
