Hello! Since the last update, the launcher is totally bugged on Wine/Linux. Me and my partner are touched. The system just freeze as soon as I start the game, and the launcher is strange, with missing part. No input form, no Asura NPC displayed, sometime transparent part… I'm not able to do a screenshot because all is freeze at this time. Seems reducing the FPS with the -fps option or via DXVK_FRAME_RATE seems reducing the trouble, with at least a way to click on the "Start" button, but I bet we will no more be able to play the day when we will be requested to input our password… The launcher seems just hammering the GPU/CPU with something. Perhaps it's something related to

So, I just do another meta. No KP required this time. Just asking for 15 offensive quick/alac booners (alacren, qfb, qchrono…). 50 ppl, hidden tag, half the squad on a discord, correct sub dispatch. No problem at all, very efficient run, at boss at 15:xx on the escort chrono. But the kitten CC not ok each time, seems nobody on openworld know what this mecanic is. So we fail at 6%, but this run show it is definitively doable with just organization (and a mini-CC training before the start) and standard openworld people. Just one or two CC ok over the 5 failures and the kill was possible. IMO, at this time ppl just ranting about failing the meta the try-hard mode way, joining squad without any kind of organization and meta knowledge and expecting a given easy kill at the end.

Don't know but currently it's a meta you need 1h to kill it, with at least 30min idle at wp to reserve a spot on the map. And even on organized group, TT fail ~20% of the time because no sync kill. Even if nerfed, it's seems to me the same average level the dragon meta expect, but just currently we have 6 days of rushing pug with no real organisation.

For me RNG is not THE trouble. It doesn't help but it's not the failing spot. Don't forget we are just day 6. From my point of view, this will be a meta like triple trouble once the community start planning more this event. You just need (really) coordinated people, with a discord even if half the squad not on it, with some roles filled by veteran with specific build (like blocker/condi husk in TT) to provide alac/quick/might/heal on each sub, with people reading the chat and following com order. Currently it's more like random people joining random squad and it can't work like this, it will just fail. Like TT can't be killed like that and nobody ask for a nerf for TT (and it loot more less than dragon). When joining this meta for fun, I barely see no com creating 10 subs before the start to assign people on each lane (east/west, then head/tail, then east/west, then east/west/south), placing supply depot for EMP & cc or things like that or just checking everybody read the chat befor the start.

My 2 cents. I did 4 meta. I kill 2. 50% win rate. The 2 fails are in completly random pug. Nobody give a kitten about chat. On the 2 kills, no real coordination but barely 10 ppl out of 50 on a discord, no very complicated squad comp or other boons check. Just basic sub split with evenly distributed specialization (barely guard/alac on each sub, don't know if real hfb or alac or quick or whatever), quick explanation, some calls during the fight, 10 sub assignemnt for east/mid/west/head/tail. I ask for kp/kpme, but no real check at all, basically just to have brain ppl and no headless chicken. I guess we carry 5-10 ppl on those squads. And hidden tag to clean the map of troll. I bet this is reproducible. Just casual ppl need hard core gamer now to help on this meta. Not about "being good", but just ppl able to read the chat, to use build we give and other simple things like that. And that's why openworld ppl are just desesperating…

It depends. You need something? We organize. We have some recurring training, but not with all the same ppl each time. Just open as many squad as we have coms, balancing group for barely same level in all (usually 3 XP each squad), run in raid. Profit. Sunday training was just someone coming into discord. "Hey, i want to try raid, something planned?" and some hours later we are 8 from our alliance with 2 pug to fill to kick the Cairn kitten 😄 In all cases it's one off squads, not stable ones.

I give those logs because I remember there is ppl with totally crappy gear on those. But if you want more logs, the training organized this sunday. This is a guild (in fact more alliance than guild :D) evening. The previous logs was not from guild but from LFG. https://dps.report/KKXj-20220219-213007_cairn https://dps.report/9Elk-20220219-214308_mo https://dps.report/B6Yf-20220219-220015_sam https://dps.report/N1BT-20220219-222303_vg https://dps.report/Hpko-20220219-224916_gors

I had 273 LI at this time. 1033 today. That not 200 less. 🙂 For many of them, you can divide current LI number by two.

See the date of the log. Compare to how many LI earned from that point.

You can. I organize training raids for that. https://dps.report/zh7x-20210116-221007_cairn https://dps.report/0g5s-20210116-221930_mo https://dps.report/rmgU-20210116-222830_sam Some experienced player, half the squad totally new in raid just picked up from LA even with kitten stuff. And no problem.

No. That's not the point. The point is I can start training raids in karma exotic gear and catch the maximum possible loot in weekly FC (even if I probably will be carried) the same day I hit lvl 80. I can't do that with CMs. Even after training for a consistent 45min clear in CMs, it will take 258 days to catch the maximum loot possible. I don't speak about consistent full clear CMs or raids. And even for this, CMs harder. Carrying 1-2 ppl on a 10 raid squad is largely easier if not noticable at all than carrying a single people in a 5 group in CMs. Basically in raid, 5 experienced ppl can carry 5 totally new people in wing 1-4 and clear 6 bosses in one evening. In CMs, even 1 unexperienced ppl is hard to carry by 4 experienced ppl (hello red, cc, one shot mecanics, split, hard insta and so more).

I speak about DPS check for an expectable smooth run, not a real hard DPS check like gorseval for example. Without a decent DPS, you will have more mecanics (i think about 100cm for example, correct DPS = no orb phase), your group will eat much more damage (i think about viirastra, mama, siaxx…) and chance of a wipe go very high. At least on simple strikes, you could drink a tea at the foot's boss without real consequences.

I do mine in 5h too usually. I speak more about pug yes Yes, I speak about a full standard run, so CM+T4.

You refuse to consider you have to invest 1 year and 500g to do CMs, and you say that content doesn't require full ascended, and also you say it's the same engagement than in raid or strike. So don't understand at all your point to ask for more rewards with such opinion… 🤷‍♂️

To be honest/clear: - Raid is ~45min/wing (5-10h/week), ~20gph, 80% SC DPS check, critical full squad comp (might/regen/fury/alac/quick/heal/aegis/stab over 2 sub), + tank & mecanics for some people, exo gear - Simple strike is 15min, ~30gph, no DPS check, no comp awareness, no gear - Bone/woj 5g more for 10min, ~30gph, 50% SC DPS check, not critical basic squad comp (only alac, quick, might), no gear - T1 is 20-30min, 15gph, no DPS check, no comp, no gear - T2 is 20-30min, 20gph, no DPS check, no comp, no gear - T3 is 20-30min, 20gph, no DPS check, no comp, no gear but ascended trinket - T4 is 20-40min, 25-30gph, 60% SC DPS check, not critical basic comp (might/quick/alac, some heal), full ascended gear - CMs is 45min-1h, (5-10h/week), 50gph, 80% SC DPS check, critical comp (might/quick/alac/fury/stab/aegis/heal), full ascended gear
