Skyforge: Why I stopped playing, you should to. (Semi-review?-rant)

- These are my experiences and opinions with the Waifu grinding simulator known as Skyforge. Yes I stand there and let myself get hit, it's to prove a point... I shouldn't have to state this though... The game has far to many problems and it feels like a job.
Yes I know this is beta, Yes I know that this area is twice my recommended prestige when it "opened up" (apparently) but it does not tell you that in any way... It's like you're level 30 in WoW and they throw you into a level 50 area. In this game, no matter how skillful you become, you can't defeat numbers that are too high for you.
I'd stop playing simply because it gets boring. Later you pretty much have to keep doing the raids so you can do the 5 man anomalies and 10 man distortions. Shit gets old pretty fast.
Why do they allow low prestige players onto high prestige areas that are so out of your prestige that they one shot you?
+Farkon It's like in any MMO. When you reach a new area do you expect to finish it at the same level you started? Every area has a progression in difficulty and you should be able to see that.
+Aleksandar Sharkovski We should be able to see that, but they haven't added in any labels or representation showing the power level (Prestige) of a mob. Also, clearing an area after constantly grinding before hand those squads and dungeons while, clearing previous areas all at once when you've done so before is reasonable. This? This wasn't.
+Farkon the regions after beginner regions are meant to cover very wide range of prestige and get progressively harder and it tells you often in load screen of this. Te game is designed so you mix regions, party and group zones as well as pvp.
+Extreme Ragin you get a health bar which is great indicator if you ready for a mob or not, and I for one like that you can take a break from grind and go take on mobs that can one shot you and force you to use skills to stay alive or go grab a low prestige player and do a squad and be godlike while helping them out.
+Extreme Ragin the way i calculate trash mobs potential is by looking at their hp.
in Impossible dungeons they usually go to 12k at the toughest ones (solo)
in the latest open area the 12k hp is at before the half progress on it thus the difficulty is already at impossible for me at that moment.
it's not that the information is not there it's that you are too lazy to see it
premium does not need real money and weekly caps prevent paying making any more progression than free. Yes you can rush your order, cores and boosters with cash at start but core progression capped by sparks spent, the cost of boosters rise exponentially and returns for cost make it lousy cash investment and rushing order unbalances prestige causing serious match up issues. If you dont balance your prestige carefully and overcook stamina and udercook proficiency you will end unable to do damage to mobs. You need to plan carefully and make sure you dont overlook atlas talents in rush to unlock new classes. Some classes are better or soloing, some better for parties and some better in PvP but is it really a bad thing to mix up the game so you change classes depending on situation?
i stopped playing with the same reasons ..and the current patch is now buffed all monsters damage
idk man I see your point but guess what time can have great effects on things, an no class is op in pvp ive killed almost every class but archer as a lightbringer just say
This comes from A. and old patch, since been updated with slightly better (and worse in some areas) results. B. You are low prestige, C. You incorrectly told people about the PALADIN symbol which has a 70sec internal cooldown (And everyone above 30k has it or SHOULD have it) and finally D. you were in a region that was too high for you clearly
That being said yes skyforge has some issues , PVP being a main gripe with a lot of players lately
also forgot to mention you can do everything as a F2P player and never pay anything towards the game, yes people can pay to progress faster however it comes with drawbacks (They won't be as strong as you once you hit that prestige for starters)
+Coneman Gaming i agree with you. i actually ran into the same issues. i was too high prestige with none of the right stats on my weapon, rings and amulets. do some research on how to build your class and stay out of high zones until you are ready for them. you are really low on prestige. it gets much better later on. im at 46K prestige and I can pretty much one shot everything with my archer and dot away elite mobs. you just have to put more time into it to unlock all your abilities, symbols, and other classes. Trust me it get's better.
Although I do have to say that there is most definitely a grind (which i personally like). also i hate the pvp. no reason for me to play unless i am trying to go for an order item. get an archer and you will have a better time in pvp. or join the zerker/knight groups for pvp
+Coneman Gaming I disagree, people that have payed to progress, are not only going to reach that higher prestige longer, but ALSO have longer to use,experience, and master the various tools/classes that came with that increased speed.
I put up an annotation to corrected the paladin misunderstanding, although the cooldown can be reset even shorter then 22 seconds since it resets when you exit combat, an easy enough feat for most classes in large 10v10 maps.
Also point B and D are essentially the same point, although there's no indication in-game that states what the recommended prestige is.
+Extreme Ragin you cant unlock new classes, get new gear or unlock abilities with cash. These can only be locked with sparks which have a weekly cap and cant be bought. Boosting order early with cash is suicide as you will get all health prestige but your damage will suck. Boosters wont help much as get expensive fast and the gear is proficiency dependent again only obtainable with sparks. Ether nodes need to be unlocked before you can spend cash to boost and even then max level is dependent on total sparks used on atlas.
+Phillip Scott Exactly. It's easy to say oh you can spend 1 milion dolars and be OP and oneshot everyone, this is p2w I am out of here. If you take the time to read the restrictions to the system in place you will see it's very f2p friendly. Boosting order will make you fight mobs that are way stronger than you and can be more harm than good. Boosters are also capped with particles of mastery which you can't buy for cash and the ability to pump cash in vectors is limited again by unlocking ether nodes and the node levels are also dependent on the number of sparks spend on the atlas which can't be bought for cash.
us servers 300 ping/latency, i quit because of the lag aswell. also healing/shielding is pos.
Mobs are too hard, cry me a river, I can die on purpose if I really want to. You haven't used Kinetic quite well, just to demonstrate your "point"..
I'm a premium member and I'm no better than a free-to-play player. I can just progress faster, but I reach my limits faster..Temple upgrades from Argents? Nah, I don't do that, but if a free to play player is smart enough, he can upgrade temples from the free resources, also selling spark replicators give you argents. Anything can be bought with credits as well. (except the event stuff..but that won't make you stronger. costume? mount? are you stronger yet? lol.)
The area wasn't too high for him, he is just a bad player. Look at 2:48 when he says attacks can't be dodged and he has a dodge indicator on him.
+Aleksandar Sharkovski I wouldn't of done enough damage if I dodged since it would of broken my channeled ability. Thought I could lived long enough to cast it while in a 75% damage reduction field. Making that choice doesn't make me a bad player cappa.
You do know that ability has charge levels, you didn't have to charge it to the max.
+Aleksandar Sharkovski I wouldn't of damaged it enough without a full charge level to get it low enough to deathblow/finish of the mob in time.
I'm not sure if you know how Kinetics work, but aside from our burst combo (sledge was the one I was currently using) and fully charged stone projectile, the damage I would of done wouldn't of been in time with other abilities. Quantum Collapse, wouldn't of triggered in time, which is also assuming that the mob would stand still, I didn't have enough energy to finish it off with chain grav at the time, and auto attacking on a kinetic wouldn't of worked.
Canceling the stone projectile to shake off the dot wouldn't of done any damage, and now I'd have a mob with a massive movement speed bonus in my face without a 75% damage reduction field that already did 1/5 of my health with an auto attack.
+Extreme Ragin I do know how kinetic works. You should have started with a charged Kinetic Pulse which moves slowly giving you time to use 3 more Kinetic pulse and a fully charged Stone Projectile. By then the mob should be in melee range where you use Gravity Anomaly, trap and go sledgehammer. After that use Protective Shield and spam Quantum Collapse. Instead you dashed away for reasons, threw one pebble, used shield and tried to charge another projectile while you had a dash indicator. Nah you could have killed this mob.
+Aleksandar Sharkovski You actually don't know how to play this class, you would never be able to kill this mob at the level I was at.
I'm using a sledgehammer spec where I stack all the damage buffs on me and attack all at once, Kinetic pulse triggers one of these buffs, why would I forgo my attack buff for a few extra attacks that deal LESS damage and letting the mob hit me with it's ranged attack?
Unless your seriously telling me 47% more damage on my biggest attack
that hits 9 times is worth a few kinetic pulses, the weakest basic
attack any class has, and a sub-par Stone Projectile.
I also "threw" one pebble because it's an attack I can animation cancel out of while getting out of melee range with the mob to put up a shield. This was my first encounter with this mob after auto walking past a ton and didn't expect it's damage output to exceed my 75% shield. Dashing out of the indicator would of gotten me killed because my shield would of gone down before I could kill it and I would of taken not 8900 damage, but x4 times that.
I knew this community was really pro-populist opinion, but wow I didn't think the community could misinterpret so much, just whining that I'm a "bad" player makes me speechless. I'm showing footage of me standing there to show that you can get one shotted in a brand new area that opens up to you after countless hours of grinding.
this guy is too noob for skyforge
