Meanwhile, I make no progress still! Can't find the will to do slaughter, shits so awful. Grats though Kisada

[Tobi]

also, wtf kisada, why switch to flames over maelstrom

[kisada]

thanks!

just hang in there and dabble when you can, you deserve the title too!

when you get to the homestretch, 4000 to the end gets kinda exciting


also mael doesn't need any help, already have a mountain of solid players ;(

[Tobi]

yea, gonna try to get to at least like 4100-4300 by next weekend. The grind would be a bit faster if I focused purely on kills, but I like winning too, so I focus node always over kills I could probably finish the title by the end of march still depending how dedicated I am to grinding it out.

also, with you going to flames, maybe they'll finally be pretty decent for once, should make for some interesting matches, assuming they of course listen and coordinate, though I see the double team towards mael becoming even stronger if that happens....

[kisada]

haha, man how rumors like this get started i will never know

[Tobi]

It usually has to do with flames to begin with, regardless if we are winning or not, they will put their main focus on us, and if we're first or 2nd, its only obvious that adder will focus us 'cause we're winning, where as, flames will focus us regardless even if mael is in 3rd, so it leads to a double team towards mael way too often. The shit is annoying, but it is what it is, doesn't bother me really, far too used to it, plus it happened it a couple of times while on adder as well, which is where I really got used to it back when slaughter released.

also, the title grind wouldn't be so bad if I could get results like these every match while focusing heavily on the node still

[garudyne]

I guess I understand why you'd do that... Would love to have you for two weeks though.

Excluding Challenge Log, is the ratio of PvP Exp:Wolf Marks a straight 2:3?

In other words, if I want to make sure that I have enough marks to buy i110 body by rank 44, can I math out TTLs and multiply by 1.5 to figure out how many Wolf Marks I should have by that point (again, excluding Challenge)?

[kisada]

yeah a long time ago i had to start being node-oriented so that took some wind out of my sails for kills.

also about those rumors:


[5:41 p.m.]Makoto' Nanaya' >> r u adders for life?
[5:41 p.m.]>> Makoto' Nanaya': i'd never change
[5:41 p.m.]Makoto' Nanaya' >> <3
[5:41 p.m.]>> Makoto' Nanaya': you can tell mael i'm thinking about changing over though
[5:41 p.m.]>> Makoto' Nanaya': to flames
[5:41 p.m.]>> Makoto' Nanaya': see what they think


you think i'd really abandon adders? i'm no traitor

gg

[garudyne]

I heard about it from Adders tho ~

It has been months since I last got EXP, but what GC are you on and what data center?

You will most likely have at least 12k by rank 44 even if you just lose all your matches to get to 44. I prebought like almost every single weapon [12375 x 9 or something] and a bunch of bodies until 45.

[Tobi]

yea, i heard the rumor thing from someone from adders, lol. someone from our server, so they went off saying something like: kisada wants you all to know he's switching to flames or some shit like that, I forgot the exact wording.

[garudyne]

Hmmmmmmmmm... Momiji must have made an alt. =____________=

[kisada]

haha sounds like he definitely tried to sell it

[Spider-Dan]

Flames, Aether, Balmung.

You will most likely have at least 12k by rank 44 even if you just lose all your matches to get to 44.

I have more than 12k now. I'm just trying to figure out at which point I will need to stop spending Wolf Marks in order to be able to buy the item as I ding.

I don't want to buy the item early because there's supposed to be some PvP updates in the next patch and I may not ding before then (R42 now).

[garudyne]

Flames on Aether? You're fine.

Where was this rumoured? I don't think they've ever hinted at 2.55 PvP updates. (for sure in 3.0 though... in 3 months)

And I would just buy the item now because if you're playing constantly, you're going to cap anyway so there's no reason to not because the 20k is reached so easily. What is your rank now? It really depends on your win ratio with regards to EXP/Wolf Marks and I hear Flames are super strong on Aether. Can help use info from this PvP tool if you want numbers to crunch.

What set are you trying to get? If you are just focusing on one set, you'll probably be able to stop spending marks at some point into 42/43. For me personally, I did not buy body pieces first since I went for weapons. I have never stopped spending Wolf Marks but I am gearing every single class for PvP so I still have a lot of things to buy sadly for BiS.

And it's not really that Momiji sold it, Kisada, but uhh... I heard it from a bunch of randoms who probably all heard it from Momiji ijeiajdfiasjdaisd

[Spider-Dan]

Someone please explain how this is possible:

[garudyne]

It happens but I dunno why it happens. Been like that since launch. I THINK it could be when someone falls off with high or fever?

[Spider-Dan]

If it's a fall, that would seem to be pretty definitive proof that you don't get credit for knockoff kills. The person who died is definitely in combat (because if he hasn't, he wouldn't die from a fall) and it's unthinkable that someone with Battle High could have completely avoided being attacked.

[garudyne]

The fall from the top of mid is an insta death regardless of if you are in combat or not. (I know because I walk off occasionally all the time) Knockoff kills are most definitely counted since that is where most of mine come from. I'm a SCH main in PvP and have about 300 kills, most from knockbacks.

I don't know how else to explain that message tbh. Maybe the devs can answer that question one day.

[Kiarax]

I mean, its possible to be in combat and not have taken damage too, you could easily tag someone with a ranged attack and then turn around and jump off and kill yourself.
