it seems whenever i need help the most in a dungeon there is literally no one online.
i almost made it to a clockwork station as i was searching for energy when i came across a level that obviously contained gremlins. at depth 22 with all my equipment 4 star they are absolutely impossible to be in the small area three of us were fighting in. bombs simply dont work seeing as the shielded ones are never facing them, swords dont work as gremlins attack through your attack, and guns dont work simply because everyone now has lvl 3 alchs which do around 30 damage to them. no one can afford better ones now as most of the money was spent before the update. then no one can get recipes for them as they simply dont have strong enough weapons to get to a vendor.

It is seriously the most frustrating thing to be at the last multipad where you can see the next elevator, while your lying on the ground with a message reading, oh no you have died. pay 200CE to revive. i mean i already used up 200 getting to floor 22, (and i only had 200CE after someone told me 19+ dungeons=jackpot, in which i then decided to buy with the last of my money 200 energy) . i think it would be nice to actually get deep enough to find these rare recipes and items, but at the moment even with 4 star equipment its near impossible to get to a vendor or rare monster. the danger bar was glowing red for me with all 4 star equip? do you mean to actually get to the core now you need 5 star weapons and gear? how the hell do we get 5 star equipment when we cant get to a location with 5 star recipes. the only thing 5 star available in a shop is a bomb ( i like bombs =P) which is 100k -.- that is basically 2k CE at todays market exchange.

i really dont like doing moorcroft runs along with everyone else in the game, as it lacks decent heat/money, as well as the fact i kill pretty much every enemy in two hits before ember......its not challenging. but ember runs are beyond challenging and even with friends its hard to get anywhere.

i mean shouldnt there be a way to skip an area like that to the nearest station, or maybe there shouldnt be such a sudden difference between tier 2 and tier 3.

sigh* i guess this is just another energy situation.....we reaaaaally need to do something about it soon.
