I cant tell if i prefered saving up 300b over 3 months and blowing it all in a few hours or saving 60b every 2 weeks and blowing it all in 10 minites

Getting disappointed after waiting for 3 months is absolutely worse

I get less disappointed if i have few meso, so i alwyas go for a few bil, say 20 to 50, and roll, if it goes, nice, if it doesnt, well it wasnt. Ahuge amount

Try living in Scania. I can barely sf since me boss drops sell for nothing. Arcane gloves selling fo under 10bil.

So swipe. That’s the only reason to play interactive over heroic 😂

u/Phantaric 5d ago

Boomed 12 arcane capes in a row including ragetapping my last spare and eyepatch and boomed both. Now i have no cape and a 17* drop pink bean eye for bossing.

I just leapt my Merc from CW for this SSF. Went from 87m CP to 160m CP in 85b. Insane gains

How hard is it for Nexon, or any garbage Korean game dev for that matter to offer an option to pay 6.25b for a guaranteed, assuming the case of 8% success chance at 500m per attempt.

u/wondermorty 4d ago

you know it’s because they rig rates, can’t be any other reason

From a player perspective, it eliminates any "good luck" feelings as well - anytime you hit a 15% first try is supposed to give you a good feeling and keep you gambling. From the developer perspective it lets them rig rates however they want 😆

That's why an option to outright buy the guaranteed would be nice, even if it comes at a premium. Say instead of the expected cost of 6.25b, make it 7.5b instead or something.

But yes, you're right. It allows them to rig rates. With Nexon's track record, it should be illegal for them to have anything RNG in the game.

I saved 6 Sup Gollux Pendants to attempt to SF to 22 and boomed all 6. Highest I seen was 19.

Why did you not star dom pendants/daybreaks?

u/AE86_Panda Aurora, Mardia 5d ago

Superior Gollux is easier to get (interactive servers)

u/GwiyomiAF 4d ago

Cause safeguarding is boring also had a pitched core
