DO NOT Do Random Solo 2 Star Dungeons Until You Watch This Video, AVOID THIS (Throne and Liberty)

[@EhJay_Plays]

Wow this has definitely been the most controversial video I have ever put out or seen, it is an extreme 50/50 (actually 70/30) of people who agree and people who don't! Sounds like it's mainly coming down to if you're random queing or queing with a group/guild LOL, and how long its taking you on average to complete a run. Thanks for all the comments and feedback. In my opinion IF YOU'RE QUEING RANDOM SOLO you should wait a bit until randoms become better at mechanics so it doesn’t take AS long - you stack the tokens anyways. Doing them now is fine too if you want to spend the time, I’m just holding off!

[@PrawiSucia_Official]

blue gears should be removed from 2* dungeons drop pool. Replace them with something more useful such as skillbooks or red/blue eggs or trait unlockstones

[@EhJay_Plays]

I like this

[@tyrant3191]

you forget the part where this is an mmo, not a looter shooter. you don't just get whatever you want just because you did the content. the game would run out of content after 2 days if that was the case. just like looter shooters do.

Nah.. its only 2stars

Yup I'm with you this ppl who think theyre mmo players but not willing to put 1000+ hours into grinding ​@@tyrant3191

[@alexwakefield-pandorasthou6391]

@@PrawiSucia_Official Blue gear is necessary. Without it, getting fully traited purples would be a nightmare. Some of the blues actually sell for a good amount as well. Not to mention if they changed the loot table that much, either the drop rates for purples would be higher (devaluing them altogether) or they'd stay the same & instead of getting blue drops for traits and lucent. Dungeons already have a way of providing trait unlockstones too. 1 of each 2 star token = 5 trait unlocks. 1 of each 1 star provides 3 per. That being said, I do like the idea of simply adding reds/blues & skill books to the drop tables of dungeons. In addition to your loot, not instead of getting a blue or purple.

[@alexwakefield-pandorasthou6391]

Terrible take, do NOT follow this advice. Skipping your 2 Star dungeons is actually probably the worst take I've heard.. The drop rates are almost the same in t1 and t2. The only good point he made was the minimum requirement being too low. 3k should be the minimum. You're struggling with these dungeons because your gear is bad & you're getting people around your gear. When you start doing more damage, your drops get much, much better. I've gotten thousands of lucent from 2 star dungeons alone. Even the tokens alone are worth doing the dungeon for, so you can actually get your gear. Not to mention you get more abyssal contract tokens, omnipotent skill books, etc. They are 1000% worth doing. If you don't do them, you're griefing yourself. Again, horrible advice, do not follow this.

[@EhJay_Plays]

Nice constructive counter point, thanks for the comment!

[@wootzRn]

I guess a gear score of 3700 is now considered bad

[@alexwakefield-pandorasthou6391]

@@EhJay_Plays Thanks for replying 👍 tbh I had a lot of the same issues when it first came out, a lot of people struggled with mechanics (I currently never have issues running any of the four in less than 20-30m since people have learned). The two biggest factors are your hp being over 10k (below 10k, you'll get 1shot if you mess up) and making sure you don't mess up mechanics. The bosses are actually very easy, they're just tanky, they hit hard, and are unforgiving. For anyone struggling: Having a reliable healer to queue with is MASSIVE. Get your HP traits (I recommend target farming specific mobs that drop profitable loot, arduous, but worth it). Also fishing & cooking are VERY slept on. Check what sells for a lot (check what loot sells too & where to farm it, you can even litho drops & craft them for a 20% chance at a tradeable. I'd only recommend this with a higher surplus of lucent (like 3-6k minimum bc it's risky, but also incredibly profitable if you hit), cook a bunch & sell what is tradable. Keep what is bound for yourself. Crafting milk is one good way to level cooking. Reallocate your stats for PvE (you don't really need perception for mobs, unless youre missing hits) wisdom actually provides a lot of damage in the early points (as well as cdr, mana regen, etc.) I personally run like 60STR, 50 DEX, & 26 wisdom in PvE & my base damage is about 500 max. Pro tip, base damage is by far the strongest stat in the entire game. Even 10-20 points is a massive damage increase. Make a PvE skill build or follow one (just the skills). Focus high single target for bosses. If random queue is too rough, list your party on the board for whatever dungeon you need & put the gearscore requirements to what your current gearscore is. Yes you miss the extra 1 token and a chance at x12, but its a better alternative than not doing them. The other downside is that I don't believe you get the 10% damage & hp buff from random queue either. A lot of people might not like this last one, but if someone is consistently not pulling their weight (dying, screwing up mechanics, getting the team wiped, etc.) Just vote kick them. I give advice to people in dungeons and try to help them get it down (since I'm 3500 gs & I know the mechanics, I have the privilege of doing this. If you can't carry, don't waste your time trying to, at least not more than 1-3 times), but one or two anchors pulling you down... will drown you if the rest of your party can't make up for it. If anyone needs help, reply to this message & I might be able to help you with some runs. At the very least I can explain mechanics & answer ANY questions you have to the best of my ability. Cheers and good luck friends 👍

[@elaRRman]

look bro underwhelming or not this dungeons are important for us to grind . When you get 12 tokens of each boss you can craft chest containing the items this bosses drop . I've already farmed one of these chest and got me shadow harvester pants which are super expensive to buy . And there are plenty more items for every player to finalize his build and get somewhat decent and competitive . So yep this dungeons if you read this are important , grind them or miss on the rewards

[@EhJay_Plays]

Bro you’re gonna be grinding chests for the rest of your life trying to get the purple you need AND traits you want… hopefully in another week or so people learn to Q block and it won’t be so bad

[@elaRRman]

@ that’s what it comes down to but honestly I got lucky and got the pants with magic evasion in my server it’s the most expensive trait . I got plenty of unc lock stones so at least I can unlock one more trait and then am farming and selling stuff on AH for lucent . Ngl I’ve dropped 50€ Already in the game and I maybe drop another 50 soon but this past week I’ve sold items on the AH for 3,8k lucent f2p so it’s not that bad to get a traction . It does need a LOT of time invested tho that’s true

[@Calafalas09]

One way of seeing it is, you get a piece of gear from archbosses that you probably need for you build for every 12 random queues (need to get 3 of each) and assuming you have bad luck and they don't drop or you don't get the x12 reward. So, totally worth imo. Helps a lot doing it with friends tho

[@EhJay_Plays]

all my friends who played the game quit sadge, just joined a new guild tho

[@cn7520-r]

Absolutely worth doing. It may be annoying at first but by now a lot of people have gotten the hang of things. If you choose one to do Id suggest island of terror as the traits from the chest can sell near 800 lucent each.

You should look up the original Korea version of the dungeons and see if it’s the same, it was too hard so they down graded it - the mass complained so they addressed it.

[@evenesence21]

Have you not played an MMORPG before? Dungeons are meant to be played over and over, to get the loot that you want. This game went a step further and implemented a pity system...so that you can still get the gear you want, by just repeating dungeons and using the Salvation to craft what you want. Complaining that a week in, people don't know mechanics yet is wild. You can't speed run the harder content is not an issue. Keep in mind; not everyone in North America servers, speaks English. Latin America has a huge presence in this game. Many people may speak Portuguese or Spanish. This video is just 9 minutes of complaining about getting new content and that you can't speed run it. If you don't like the game, just say that. 🙃

[@KingAmus55]

Literally like I find it really annoying when you try to join a dungeon and u see lots of post saying “know mechs” on the day that’s released which is ridiculous like yh I just watched the guide but that doesn’t mean I’ll be good at it and not die when I haven’t even experienced the boss yet. I don’t have issue with dying multiple times or any members of my party since there’s always new players playing different bosses for the first and I get that and they’re also trying to understand the mechanics by themselves when they can’t understand the guides they watched which is understandable.

[@KingAmus55]

And yes I also agree that dungeons are meant to be played over and over again to get the loot that you want and I don’t think the guy even knows that there’s an RNG system in the game so it’s either gonna give you the piece of gear that you want right away or do it again.

[@stanislavboianov3356]

Well, obviously, you have missed the FACT, that exactly because of these new dungeons, the prices for armor pieces dropped literally the next day, from 4000-8000 lucent to 300 per piece, except leg armors of course, which also dropped at this point to 600-800 lucent, from 10-12 000. The dungeons, despite that are in same layout, are fine enough, challenging enough, at first few playthrough, and they served their purpose - which was normalizing the prices of tier 1 set armors. You complain for what exactly? Do you think that tier.1 Shadow Harvest leg armor really worth 12 000 lucent ? OR Shock commander??? Every single set item piece was absurdly expensive, not to mention at all Swirling Essence Robe, which was at average 20 000 lucent to 25 000, now it is 500 tops.

As a lucent farm, no, the dungeons are not worth your time, but if you need a specific drop from them they are. They have some really good pieces only available from world bosses along with new accessories. All new content is going to be a grind the first couple weeks with random teammates. It was the same way with the first dungeons and it'll be the same way with the next ones.

So as a dps it’s really nice, as a tank mediocre and as a healer really difficult 😊 so yes you are right. Even if the player is good some settings on the console hinders the player to be better 😢 (There is a dedicated PS5 server with no crossplay function (it’s called Paola or so)).

I could be wrong with this thinking but I feel the new dungeons aren't the issue at least not completely I'll agree the game needs a 911 polish the game us so buggy and broken right now but at the same time I feel like t1 was way too ez like most t1 dungeons if not all can be clear by 1 or 2 people depending classes so we got spoiled and t2 are way harder after we got used to the ez stuff. I don't like getting blues at all but my team and we can clear most of the t2 without incidents unless we faced a bugg and my teammates are higher cp than me am the lowest at 3k just last night and I've been clearing slaughter by 2 weeks now and Isle by 4- 5 days isles have some buggs that can be annoying but for the most part you can go around. My biggest issue is that for the last 5 days I've been kicked out of random dungeons for playing staff and wand even got insulted recently for it wich makes no sense if you ain't healing they kick you out and funny enough I don't play healer I play dps and I feel like way too many gamers are ignorant on what staff and wand can do.

The real problem I've found is that the reward vs the time needed to run one is not really worth it. The bosses are a marathon and 1 missed mechanic can and will wipe a group and force you to reset again and again.

Totaly agree with you ! 2** NOT worth your time investment if your NOT in a pre-made. Lucent quicker / easier to farm and far less time investment by farming Open World or 1* Dungeons. Newer players may want to grind out the 2** piece they need, my suggestion because of the 'what seems to be' low drop rate for Purples in 2**, is just to farm the Coins. Essentially .... farm 1* / Open Dungeons and sell everything and go buy the 2** piece will take you way less time.

[@Melti]

@@EhJay_Plays the value of an unlockstone is way more than you think, once you have enough lucent for a band of universal power (obviously archboss weps are a myth to obtain) the ability to save 6k lucent per trait line with unlock stones is so worth it, especially to prepare for when t2 gear comes out, because weapons are not going to be 100 unlockstones per line anymore, its all doubled, 200, per line. so doing 2 star dungeons for the coins should be done horizontal to get these unlockstones, because you also will be getting them from the t1 pouches so 8 unlockstones for running every dungeon once? dont forget you get the chance for x12 coins in t2. people should not even be buying the chest for gears to litho and sell, they should save for unlockstones completely, we are going to need far too many to save SO much lucent (if you want to save 6k+ lucent JUST from band of universal power numbers)

If u complaining with the basic 2 star dungeon, then u won't have a chance to do the challenge mode for rune farming. I always solo q the 2 star dungeon and if there ppl who doesn't know how to do mech, we just kick them and random queue again or even leave the dungeon. Just get better, u can't always rely on other. And gears are matter! full equip no traits vs full equip with full traits really matter, u get those offensive stat like skill damage boost and defensive stat like skill damage resistance will help u out clearing faster or sustain some of the attack. For those new players out there please do watch the guide before entering the dungeon, u don't want to waste your time and your teammates.

Yea everything about this T2 update sucks. And peopel try to gatekeep and say the dungeons are "new". But lets be honest they just are just recycled versions. Also no new loot, they just put world boss items into these like WHY ? the "new" loot is also garbage. Most of the "new" purple loot was 20 lucent in the very 1st day. Putting the world boss items into these also reduced the value of these items and a lot of items and ruined the market. When I say these criticisms people blame me saying I say these because I am in a top guild, but i was always against alliances. We even broke our allience willingly on our server because the competing alliance gave up. I just want the good of the game. All of my friends and guildies either quit or at the verge of quitting after this T2 update. And I am barely holding on. The least they should have done is make t1-t2 tokens hybrid - do whichever u want. But noooo, now you have even MORE DP - chores- to do, yes they are chores at this point because they are not rewarding enough. Like I said, everyone i know is burnt out but playing too much is only one of the factors, this T2 update was NOT the straw that broke the camels back, but it was the biggest load of crap that broke it - excuse my language but it is what this is a flaming pile of crap. You might say "dont do those dungeons than" as you recommended in your video, but then you feel you are left behind and when you feel that way you are 10x more likely to quit because you think you cant catch up - dont get me wrong I agree with almost everything you said
