Is there no longer controller support for the Xbox Controller? Both the options and functions are gone but the button displays are still present, they just don't work anymore.

I do, but basically the wall between middle ground and upper level players just got higher. Vials. Sacred Vials have a cap everywhere else in the game. But Mao is the one place without limits, without having to bid war where you could get them. I'm working to get True Brightwill and True Majestic. Where I am I need a combined 75 vials to meet my goal. The event only allows 3, Weekly you can only buy 2 and crafting them is bottle-necked by a mat that you can only get from 2 dungeons that can only be run once a day. So now it cripples the player base. If you've been playing for a while you know. AP isn't everything, and the weapon only fluffs what your accessories are putting forth. but you're gonna need a good heart and soul to put up numbers and those eat vials. You can get by with True Tiger and True Champion but if you're looking to push into really high lvl content you need to be past that. It was already pretty gated as it was and that got a whole lot worse which is the point I'm making. I'm chasing one of the whales of our clan. I parse 7.4 mil on a dummy and he parse 11.2. I can't do Mao anymore and he has to work to get through it and he's got IA accessories. So that should give you an idea of the level difference. Hong doesn't even compare. In the end, outside of tokens, if you lose Hong it slows you a little but can be made up for. But losing an unrestricted place to farm vials if you're looking to push to the next level of play really hurts. And don't get me started on anything after Brightwill and Majestic. The Vial count gets worse. You can't rely on a weapon. So if you're working with a raid group and trying to get from ET level to IA progression, there's now a new hurdle for pushing your gear to that level and beyond. But saying that people with high AP shouldn't complain is a farce. If you parce less than 9.5 mil this change affected you.

Seeing as I was around for the last event I will say it's exponentially easier than last time. Fishing for a new person, Slow. It's means that you're probably going to miss out on some of the nicer things in the store like the legendary radiance stone. But The ET boss 1 remnant can be bought, Don't have to run it. Arena is bought as well. Solo dungeon remnants are a pain, I won't lie, But Naksun is doable on a brand new astro with what was supplied. I know, I did it, and it wasn't that bad. Astro damage output is sick. Dungeons, Run everything from CC down every day even if you don't think you need it. Cause you're gonna be breaking down extra remnants for ET and Arena Remants. Halcyon to H0. Halcyon only as a wipe mech on the 1st boss, so it's super easy to clear, getting a group wont be that hard. DON'T WORRY ABOUT NARYU. I'm geared for it and I'm getting the remnants I need without running it. As a matter of fact. I have yet to set foot in there and I'm 2 keys ahead of where I need to be. Granted, I opened the box on my main where having the gold for fishing bait is cheap and I had 90k saved going in. So if this is a new character for you, Gonna have to put in some fishing time. But you probably have school or work so FISH IN THAT TIME. Weeklies YOU ARE NOT A WHALE SO YOU DON'T NEED ALL 7 WEEKLIES. You're going to get lower 4 plus the last 2 from standard dungeons that your'e going to running everyday for remnants anyway. You only need those 6. 7 gets you the fusion stone that you need 50 of you get one lvl of weapon enchantment on a weapon that must be TB or higher. So skip it. The end. After having been in the front row for events over the past year, They REALLY tried on this one. And before you go crying let me say this now so that's clear and you can process it: A LVL 60 VOUCHER IS 50 BUCKS AND YOU GOT IT FOR FREE. AN ALTERATION VOUCHER IS ANOTHER 15. YOU GOT 65 BUCKS WORTH OF FREE STUFF ON DAY ONE I'M SORRY YOU'LL HAVE TO PUT IN SOME WORK AT THE KEYBOARD FOR THE REST OF THE EVENT. I earned my TB weapon slowly the hard way. I'm sorry you'll have to grand a bit for month to get what took me 6 months. Get over it. This event is a real improvement. But it's hard to find gratitude anywhere I suppose

You don't go above gilded tri until you're min-maxing. I have almost all square and one pent but while I did buy some tri and upgrade, most of them I landed from getting lucky on past events. Get a square? Cool, Don't, I'm not dying. With so much other gear that gives better damage to upgrade, If you're stressing over gems, your endgame gearing priorities are off. I had to learn too. A lot of the the hard way. And I can promise you that beefing gems didn't give me nearly the turnaround of an accessory or say soul or heart. Tricking out your acc and ss with psyches would be a better use of time. I see people doing just fine on some pretty high lvl stuff with Tri gems. You'll be fine for now.

Lol. I went from clearing Hachi, the first fight in Mao in 4 sec to not being able to make the 4.5 minutes and 2400 ap. To be honest. Even doing mechs, at my lvl Hong still takes work. Solo just got a hard reset on who can and can't clear them. New world order so to speak. I hope the new players are really caching in on this event. Because new players after this event won't really be able to do anything outside of Moon Refuge for a really long time.

Honestly I didn't need high end items. I just wanted a pair of wings. Clan member gets one in 25 keys, I get hosed after 300. Second trove in a row. Welp. I hope they choke on what I spent cause they just lost someone else who was willing to put in for something nice. This is how games go bankrupt. I get the high end heart or soul. But some glam dude? You gonna hold out on some glam?
