The Elixir Nerf is EVEN WORSE Than We Expected 

I've reduced my playtime down to a 20th of what I used to play and I'm on the verge of quitting for the same reason. Can't find parties for Voldis, so I earn gold and it all gets blown on elixirs... Been stuck on 39 forever now and it's exhausting, I didn't do a single raid last week

This + the new systems pretty much requiring all players to do both hard mode and normal mode of raids to complete... Casual players and new players need not bother even trying this game. unfortunately it is now a hardcore player only game.

Im kinda the same, but another reason is the fact that they keep sending content when the couple hours i play 1 is just to find lobbies, way to many things and factors to play a game and have fun

@@raveturkey1996yep and now you have Echidna to learn as well. I personally enjoy the new raid, but if I was not already set up for it I would not touch it.

@@rc8929 I'm lucky that I have a support friend who's 1620, but I think dps for g2 is gonna be tough for the type of groups we play with cuz we both on ilvl... We gonna start progging tonight and looking forward to it, but now all my gold is gonna go into advanced honing! Dunno when I'm gonna finally get my elixir 40, the game is so broken in the West with all these gold sinks that make no sense for how we get brutally forced to try play the game at x2 speed. Worst of all alot of the community is somehow able to put up with this for eternity, so it means that you have to as well or you get left behind o.O I don't wanna ONLY play Lost Ark for years lol

And now you have to blow gold on advanced honing at the same time... it's insanity

whomp whomp.

yep u can mix and match

What mat? it went from 5 to 3 catalysts, and they gave double mats from the dungeon.

No, here's an easy way to think about it. Let's say you owe 300K gold for elixirs. Currently, it takes 8 weeks and you spend 300K. You spent 37.5K per week. The change doubles the progression rate and halves the cost. This means you'll spend 150K over 4 weeks. This is also 37.5K per week, but you'll be done four weeks earlier and have spent half as much overall. Of course, you could also just stick to six elixirs per week, and you'll only spend 18.75K per week.

@@JordanIdk This system is dogshit, I had friends who spent over 300k to get a 40 set, and they are not even all BIS elixirs. At least with transcendence when youre done youre done, you dont have to lose your mind over min maxing old content to get the best possible elixirs.

facts

They said they will rework the system months ago. A simple gold nerf isnt even close to that.

I mean there is quite obviously written that there will be new type with cheaper cost, it have even different name, so yes maybe we will be able to craft them, but it is almost sure that those which we got will cost 2x more... whole this "elixirs nerf" is just pure clownfest, they did something just so they can say they did, but in reality you will still spend tons of time interacting with worst system ingame, wasting lot of gold and be dissapointed by minimal or no progress week after week. Only thing which basically changed is, that we can get elixirs faster and hopefully a bit cheaper, but all other painpoints of that system are still there. They did literally bare minimum and even in that they were greedy and instead of changing price in general, they came with new type...

@@m.m85434 I'm not advocating for elixirs, but just suggesting we wait to get the exacts so we can be more exact with our complaints. We can complain that we're not getting a reform of the system, because we know that isn't what we're getting at all. I guess I needed to be more specific in that my question was about the subject of the video, the part where people are speculating that crafted elixirs will be the old ones. If that is 100% how that works, then shit--we really should complain. But I don't think we know 100% yet.

And .. because of ppl like you, is the reason this game is falling apart.. the so called “white knights”
