MJ felt the pressure and kept messing up. poor mj :(

[@druuudruuu6804]

Just love that he calls the other players Customers xD

[@ItzFreedomKel]

LOL. Lost Ark, the game where bussing gets more difficult for the passengers as well as the driver with each new legion raid.

[@breachr4696]

Yea thats why people usually bus 3 man for kuku and not 1 man. In kr, the passenger can completely afk because they dps the boss from 100 to 0.

I subscribed for MJ's generous 8K compensation.

dps bussing sounds hella fun

[@miikatenkula6356]

MJ needs Heavy Armor 3 and Crysis Evation 3 for this bus, actually if it were mandatory for the customers to have these 2 engravings for the dps bus, it'd be so much beneficial for the busser.

[@MostWantedWannaBE]

yes and divine protection and emergency rescue and make them spend 100 pheons just so they can get bussed lmao they should definitely not spend the money on getting gear that can clear the raid instead they should spend the money so they can spend more money to not learn to do the raid

[@miikatenkula6356]

@@MostWantedWannaBE The 2 engravings I mentioned drop pretty much from everywhere. You can get a heavy armor 3 and crisis evation 1 with doing all the weeklies of a char. Why do you feel the need to exaggerate every single little thing till the stratosphere? I just made a little recommendation that can serve the health of the busses and make it easier for every party member.

[@MostWantedWannaBE]

@@miikatenkula6356 the idea is to learn to do the raid not to be the best passanger you can be

[@playerone3690]

as of right now i saw midnight bus rides going for 40-50k. as players get stronger and less ppl are req to provide the bus it will get cheaper. vykas when first released was going for 10k a person then folks got stronger and now they going for 2-4k i've seen. depends on the group as always. i mean you can get argos rides now under 1k i've seen. some folks doing it for as little as 600g a person. just depends on the group. anything is worth what someone will pay for it. and convivence is a price on its own. somone in my guild never raids and just gets bus'd ea week in all the raids available in NA atm and she makes a good amount of gold just doing that. she loses little more than half the gold she would earn clearing them herself but eh, she doesn't wanna bother. crazy thing is she's 1510 ilvl atm and im only 1450 and i raid each week lol. she has had great luck w/honing success. eh is what it is.

[@warrensmith481]

Great content. What stat distribution is preferred though, the 1450 / 950 shown in character profile or 1250 / 1150 shown in the full build image?

[@marlonsuerte9197]

i love mjnim and take me to her bugatti

[@marcelhrastnik]

got a question about pizza how do you know which direction you need to go

[@ANTONHY63]

I wonder how you can do a bus on NA. I read that you can only bus AFK 1 person and I've seen people already bussing but for 25K or something like that so idk if NA's ready to that lol. (I mean even 4 man busses on Vykas fail like 7 times in a row)

[@klens6704]

Lool mj is the best

[@MostWantedWannaBE]

so everyone pays 3k? so technically the bus costs 1k for each person? since they get 1k from the split as well

[@whatisthat7874]

omg, they need to work on GS weapon glow, jesus, it's literally small ring of light...

[@drgremory5275]

well i did 75% with my 1580 reaper and friend as support so i guess we can duo buss

[@denyifei]

how is ur shotgun/Sniper animation fast without Swiftness?

[@TheNubaHS]

He said it at the end: he is using Salvation set

[@warrensmith481]

Also there’s 14% atk speed from Life Absorption tripod on quick shot and potential 16% from rage rune. So those two along with 10% from Salvation set already reaches the maximum atk speed cap of 140%. Looked like he was def using Life Absorption based on gameplay (like all 0 swift builds should imo) but couldn’t tell about Rage rune. Even without rage rune proc +24% atk speed still does a lot.

[@monta1994]

lvl 3 salvation set

GS rotation is Pistol Syn into Quick step for atk spd buff, then Shotgun/Rifle, then rinse repeat.

Gatekeeping is getting really bad in NA, I am seeing 1445 only groups for Argos at this point. The funny part is I have had 1400-1445 groups who fly through argos in 10-12minutes and groups with 1445-1490 players thst take 14-16min...Argos is the last thing that should be gatekept. Valtan Normal however...I might just have to push my 1415 alts at this point.

[@notreally5920]

Valtan Normal is true suffering. QQ

[@Arkeologen]

@@notreally5920 Not Really

[@crash1do]

Yesterday I saw a party for Argos looking 1445+ and 5x3 for fast P3, lol

[@ziggs123]

1445 is easy to get thats why

[@Mntlchaos]

There are 1445 groups, there are 1415 groups, there are 1400 groups. People group together in similar ilvl groups to not essentially provide free carries. That's fine. There is plenty of demand for groups with lower level requirements. The 1445 groups generally take 8-9 minutes.

[@Ventus_S]

So customers cant complete afk then, then that wont work in NA NA riders are a lot worse than KR and they cant do the simplest shit while being omega lazy themselves . If riders cant do completely nothing they wont take it NA.

[@oisquid3482]

I mean I get it, if I have to play the game you're not getting paid and that's why I only buy buses for argos

[@warrensmith481]

Though we also haven’t had any content before clown where bus passengers being alive wasn’t usually a detriment.

[@SaikoDeMoN]

What does laziness have to do with it? If passengers aren't necessary, then it's more helpful for them to die immediately to avoid ruining aggro and cheese strats. If the agreement is to do the mechanics for a cheaper bus, then they will do the mechanics or why pay gold for it in the first place? There will be more expensive 3man afk busses as well if they don't want to do mechanics.

[@sheridan1700]

Hop off korean's dick and think for yourself one second. If you pay for a bus as a passenger, do you expect yourself to be driving for that bus as well? In this case the point is that clown bus is just extremely not worth to buy.

[@Sapling-qp1cf]

Gatekeeping is not a bad thing: Gatekeeping happens only because it will take them extra hours to bring lower geared people. If those lower geared people can just group up themselves and clear the raid no problem, they should be fine. People who are "gate-kept" out of group are complaining only because they cannot clear with people of similar gears, which means they shouldnt be doing those contents anyways. Oh and it is also bad when there is not enough players to form groups of "gate-kept" out people, but that is problem that providers have to solve, not players. So there is no one at fault, only victims.

[@hurayitsraymond]

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. The raids are designed to be cleared at min ilvl and if people aren't going to invest the money to gear their character/time to learn how to play so that they can pull their own weight, I don't want them in my party. But gatekeeping is bad in 2 cases as requirements to join parties are much higher than what is needed to clear content. First are skilled players who can pull their own weight, but are under the "generally accepted" requirements for parties on their alts. The cost to 4x3 on alts doesn't seem like a high cost for hardcore players, but it's significant for casual players who don't earn as much gold. I've played with causal players who are much better than people who run all content 6x+ a week, but it's impossible for them to generate enough gold to get meet entry requirements. This will keep them from experienced lobbies, and will increase their clear times due to being with all the other "gatekept" people. Next are new players who don't have the funds to gear to "generally accepted" levels. I'm not talking about first timers who'll need to go to a learning party, but players who have completed the raid before and know mechs, but don't have the gear/roster lvl to join raids. The game will die if we lose the causal and new player audiences, so gatekeeping in its current state is bad for the game. This is literally like people posting an entry level position, but requiring 5 years of experience. Except people don't need to play this game to live, they'll just quit and go to another.

[@Sapling-qp1cf]

​@@hurayitsraymond It's different than Posting positions with 5 years of experiences in this one thing that defines this issue. You can form your own group and go with people who are same gear lvl as you are. IF there are that many people who are experiencing gatekeeping, there are enough people to form groups of those people. IF not, that just means you CAN, in fact, get those "generally accepted" level of gears fair easily. I personally would not take 4x3 for clown, but yes, i have friends, that i am taking, are 4x3 THAT I KNOW FOR FACT have skills and experiences. What can I say on randoms? Not a single thing other than gears or title. If i could wait 1 minute and get a 5x3, why wouldnt I do so? There is nothing to lose for that people who are on that "generally accepted" level, due to this "gatekeeping." Nothing really is different in real world, you have to have portfolio to prove that you can do the required work. Most of office jobs do not require any special knowledge. Everybody, whether you have a degree or not, will just go through the training program, and that is most of time more than sufficient to do the job. What portfolio proves is that you can put in required works to get the portfolio. It is same thing with engravings/title/whatever is used for gatekeeping. It proves you have played this game enough for someone to think is enough to beat the content they are doing without having to struggle. There is literally 0 reasons imaginary "gatekeeping" to be an issue in any kind of MMO. You either have friends, get over-geared for contents to play with randoms, or struggle-bus through with same on-gear-level progressions. That always been the case in any kind of MMO.

[@Keyjuann]

Im fine with people of lvl doing it but what about the people who are asking for titles and to be 35+ ilvls over the mini lvl i see argoes rooms that say be 1445+ alt run

[@Awlansee]

Well I'm a 5x3 spec at 1485. Still gate kept because people only want lv2 sets or titles or a support 😭

[@Awlansee]

So like... How do I get lvl 2 sets if I can't even get into a group 🤔 and the group's I do get with, can't clear, as they don't even bother reading the basic clown mechs
