Place holder.


I still need to check it out.

Okay. Got to check things out partially. I joined a crew that did it on hard, but they were at the switches already so I didn't get to dance with Lorelei. I did meet yellow-conning barnacle fluffs and anchorbugs. Sea Cycles and Labtechs were fun. The EB was rather pleasant and he served my crew of 4 tea while we discussed the finer points of Hunter's Bow. Sadly, it was less than 10-15 minutes only since he had a previous engagement. As a parting gift, he gave us some gold and around 56 orbs.

What a lovely fellow. heart

Yes SS has indeed been ruined. The lag, the mobs, it's just too devastating. It sucks. Simple and Clean.

I havnt checked out SS yet but imo you are jumping to conclusions too soon its not even a day since the updates occurred give it a chance and try again.
Do you think the same tactics you used in the old ss would work on new ss?
Thats a NO.

Oh WOW, it's actually a challenge now... that must mean it sucks, they completely ruined all of zomg, and that you're going to quit. Mhmmm, I've heard this before. Try rock armor, Iron Will, etc.

I've done half of it, so don't expect a thorough examination.

- It gives Iron will an amazing use, since the sleepers and rooters are everywhere, especially the clams, whom seem to freeze you one after the other.

- It's definitely harder, because of the frequent mobile guards, you can't stay idle for very long before you're attacked.

- Mixing the area definitely gave the entire place a different feeling, more of distress, which maddens crews even more when they're trying to find their way.

- Mobs are frequent, especially since a lot of them actually just ambush you.

They've given the entire place a rework, and it makes buffs and such a priority. Now, SS is definitely for the best of the best, and it gives the Victory badge actual meaning. Yes, I agree, it's hard. But it's supposed to be hard. You're not CL 10.0 for no reason, and it's time to show that you deserve to be one.

But seriously, baawing as if the devs had ruined your entire lives isn't the best way to tackle the situation. You're acting like a child.

thats the thing we knew they werent gonna work, so we did new tactics, we split up, we got back together, etc. even with out new tactics we sucked, badly at it, and we also used new rings n sets but no, failed, and my crew has been at it all day, bout 49 failed attempts, with 1 almost successful but failed at subs

Keep trying. Earn that badge + scarf. >;U

So you're sure you used rock armor, will power, divinity, and other buffs?

I tried soloing it on hard.

I agree that the constant patrols are a bit annoying and kneeling to regain full stamina and health is a little more difficult because of that.

I was surprised that it took me a lot longer to kill the barnacle fluffs than the sea sprout/anchor bugs. Stronger defense it seems.

I had iron will so the freeze didn't really bother me much. <3 Iron Will. And turtle saved my butt loads. <3

It's definitely harder and time consuming but overall, I enjoyed it.

Point to bear in mind though, Chapter 2 will be harder again. Exponentially, if I remember correctly.

I think come Chapter 4, some of us will be wishing we hadn't cried for Chapter 1 to be a challenge. xd

trust me i did, will only lasts so long, rock armor, even at full buffs the sprouts n clams can get through them like nothing now like i said, this new SS sucks and thats just it

There's a reason why Will has such a fast recharge. With rock, they can't.

No, it doesn't. Here's your resolve: "If you can't win, blame it on the game."
At this rate, you won't only fail at the game.

Eh, I've only tried normal mode. It proved to be quite the challenge. With rock armour, I only managed to take out around 20 animated without dying. Then rock ran out {and my crew was afk... all of them..} and they came rushing in and got picked off one by one.

We only failed because half of us were idle. And yes, most likely. I was fine with the difficulty.

[keito melfina]

SS sucks because it's harder? Shouldn't it be the level to prove that you attained your way to CL 10?

Iron will runs out, maybe you should, I dunno, RE-USE IT? (Oh god I'm starting to be a b***h in these SS complaining threads DX). Honestly, rr4 rock armor, you now take very little damage. Iron will, you now hardly ever get rooted or put to sleep. rr4 Divinity, you now regen stamina quite fast. Meat, you now have like double your health.

I don't see how that could be too hard with the right buffs.
