I just have to laugh at the comments from TK players complaining that SG players do not work for orange gear. The reality is that some TK has had months to get their gear and only slacked off a bit over the past couple of weeks (probably out of boredom) in monopolising bosses in Night Lipido. Then, some TKs are still trying to prevent the most active SGs from getting gear... and suddenly, it is SG players slacking off that is the cause of them not having gear. In actual fact, the bosses are fairly easy to kill, even with blue equipment only. It is the monopolising of them by full orange-geared players that prevent others from getting anywhere. When the cards are stacked so unevenly, there really is no motivation to continue. So many people have already quit due to this issue. Let us see what happens after this....
On another note, any plans for events that give a sample skill reset with this new patch?
Good day. I would like to clear up some misconceptions here. Does SG work for orange gear? Yes, some do, however the majority are not, have not, and most likely will not for whatever reason or excuse they may like to give. Of course this does not apply to everyone, there are capped SG's in lipido who are bossing it up. It's good to see. We have not "slacked" in anything, we have had an agreement with every SG that if they hit the boss first they get the kill. The only two exceptions to this rule were/are the Elites guild and Sofakings and there are various circumstances for this. Mainly, some don't know when to keep their mouth shut. As far as "most actives" I realize you are in elites, however let's not deceive anyone, you are not the most active guild in SG, nor do you boast the most active 59's. There are two currently active guilds who boss in night those would be tenacity and snoosnoo. At times you also will see Spud from conspiracy. Let us also consider something else, we made this agreement with these guilds, however we do not camp boss spawns, but this is something SG does to ensure they get first hit. I am not complaining about this, as I understand the reasoning and it is something that we have not mentioned nor complained about.
Now as far as fully orange monopolising bosses. I spend more time in night lipido than anyone currently in game. I solo bosses, this is true for guild members who do not have gear. However, I do not actively "hunt" these bosses. If I see them while grinding or traversing the map I go and kill them. Now there are cases where we have new 59's and we party with them to go around and kill bosses for their gear. However, the previous mentioned rules apply still, if SG hits first they get the kill. If we wanted to impede SG's progress than we would. As you know full orange makes a rather substantial difference in pvp, so it's not even as if it would take many of us to do so. It is a good thing you did not play when miku ran things, or you would have a real reason to feel upset.
To the issue of this patch. I do not mind that they are doing it this way. I have felt for a long time pvp would be more fun (especially rvr) if both sides has similar gear. I do not feel it's punishing TK, but I would like to state that if things do turn out as most here are assuming with the 69 gear, that 2 months is far too long to keep it that way. A week or maybe two I think would be just fine. In the end TK/SG do want the same things, however we have varying opinions on the way gravity should go about it, so yes some are upset about this recent news. I am of the opinion we should all just wait and see what the patch actually entails, as of right now it is very vague.
