"played this game since the beta and I'm still not even close to student1"
What have you been doing then? You get to Student 1 in roughly 10-12 hours of gameplay. Lets say if you are extremely casual and watch cutscenes make it double or triple, you'd still be at ST1.
Changes required if allowing this
Reduce gold reward drastically if player is low level. To prevent bots => RMT.
IIRC you are only guaranteed to receive loot if you do the first 3 raids (Jade Palace, Tempest and Horror). The loot amount guaranteed should be 2. (From those 3 raids)
Here are some stuff I found, that I would like to get updated to something better. Feel free to leave your own list of opinions / suggestions. I would recommend to keep it somewhat clean and formatted (edit your old text, instead of making new reply. Unless replying to someone else).
Menu / Common
Repetition
Sent message to Phaendar yesterday. Noticed the tooltip got buffed, but its confirmed its nothing to do with "max hp". Message is passed to localization team and I assume that will get fixed within few next patches (Thursdays).
Daily quests
Weekly quests
Branching / Phasing / Sharding
Basically its rare to get to same branch with friends/guildies to do activities together on open world due branching issues. Most of time you don't see each other due "branch is full" and you relog, use lantern and try all kind of stuff to get to the same branch.
Not so good workaround
Invite friend, notice branch is full. Let your friend invite you. Worst case both are full and you can't do anything besides relogging/using lantern etc hoping for spot to open on the branch.
Possible solutions
Channels, many MMO's use them, you can select between them, they are convenient. You can go to same one and swap the channels (could have like 5-15 min cd).
Let me know what you think about branching, possible solutions or if you know better workarounds. Maybe we can get this fixed with more feedback.
You have to play the game super passively to guarantee 61 points. Don't engage in taunt fights, don't race to bambam if its 50/50 chance of getting it. Gather powerups.

Please Developer Team and moderation Team, do something about your game, either change drop rate or change the times you can do the raids.
I'm beyond frustated putting all the hours I put daily to watch someone else that only plays the raid get rewarded.
Last week I got 2 drops, this week I got 1, and still see people having already 6-8 items.
There's no excuse to this, I even played with sworn friend, 5% + loot chance, loot buff and fortune 25%.
Quick fix? Change the drop again or implement something that allows people to re-do the raid.
Don't take this lightly, you'll lose a lot of players if you keep this discrepancy so early on.
Its frustating having to wait 1 week to "spin the dice" again and hope to get lucky.
Please, do something about this before its too late, since the day of the release your numbers keep going down. A lot of people are legit waiting for you to do something this month still, after that I will quit too.
Best regards.
system is fine, would be boring if everyone is max gear in 1 week..
I already see a lot of persons ilvl 65/66/67 i even saw ilvl 70 person already and we are only 2 weeks since raid implemented... in 2-3 weeks most people are capped again.
you can craft like 1 75 gear from parchments per week and drop minimum 1 per week. mostly u drop 2/3 per week.
So 15 pieces. it take like 3-5 weeks.. thats still totally fine. 1 month to be capped again. in other mmorgps i play years and are not capped.
i dunno how your guild handle this. but in our guild the raidleader keeps a textfile of which person got which piece.. so if dublicates drop. we can still trade the unopened crystall to other people who got "unlucky"...
so yeah if everyone in your raid group got the weapon except you. its very very likely that next raid u get the weapon 100%. (since if one of the other 9-19 people drop the weapon, they will just trade to you)
Didn't ask because i thought it was your signature, what does that imagine mean? In the right side its easy to understand, cant figure out the rest.
no, each boss drop a set of specific items.
if your guildmate dropped item from 1st boss, but has all items from first boss already. instead of opening the crystal he just trade with guildmate instead. so other person get loot.
Lets say u have everything but weapon. its pointless now to open drops from first 5 bosses, cause they cant drop weapon. . Instead of opening and then realise "oh i have that item already" . u look at the image and know before opening, that it will be a dead drop for u, and trade it with other party member/guildmembers. thats the idea!
You can only trade the unopened crystal from the boss (you dont know what item is in exactly), not the opened item.. So if u open the item and get Ring, but u have all rings already, u cant give it to guild mate, u literally got a dead drop -> pet food
You need base gear level equal or higher to the gear level you are trading. So no, you cant just trade the gem if you are below gear level 75, says on the gem. Also I am pretty sure that when you feed 75 gear, you get 75 parchments. (Ofc trading is more valuable inside guilds, but so are parchments before you reach 75)
Easier said than done. First week got 2 items from full clear, second week 1 item. Not that I mind, its completely rng.
5) farm pro mentor (week buff) from jade helper scroll menu and you can help as much as you want.
Also 3nd boss occasional low damage lasers (not the 4-5 line one).
I would love to do that, but b/c of everything being on set times to do stuff, this makes the first 4 or 5 hours I am playing to be in Faction Mode. I have a post on this as well (see below) so no matter what way you look at it, I will be in faction mode at some point of the day.
I agree with removing the time gating on most stuff. However what I don't understand is why would it force you to be first 4-5 hours in faction mode.
If you start non-faction mode, do dailies normally, then do the faction quest and disable faction pvp after. This literally makes you have to sit in faction mode roughly 15 minutes.
I love the fact you have "Faction Mode" to allow use to turn off pvp (NOTE: I hate PVP), BUT.... when you are turned off, go into "Valley of Echoing Blades" it turns it ON, but DOESN'T turn it back off when you leave. This needs to get addressed. If a player has Faction Mode off goes into that zone and comes out, it should still be OFF. PLEASE for the love of god fix this.
Workaround is to do Valley of Echoing Blades dailies, then toggle the faction pvp off.
Just open recruit menu and start recruiting people
Whether people are grouped or solo is irrelevant. The damage is the same to the boss either way.
Not the same. If you are not grouped, your melee will get killed due 0 heals. Its day and night difference if you factor buffs and your melee pushing the enemies away.
The daily "Demon Destruction and Gliding" that takes place in the Valley of Echoing Tones might as well not exist for one of the factions.
The objective is to do more damage to the boss than the other faction, the problem is this is impossible when one side has 80% representation and the other side is 20%. Ive been at this for 4 hours now.....totally ridiculous. The other dailies in this zone are designed in a way that you can slowly make progress if you are outnumbered. This particular daily is all or nothing and you cannot make progress on it.
All in all the faction system is horribly designed with zero safeguards for population balance and actually encourages faction imbalance by the way it only recruits people to one faction with super tiny-tiny text saying there is even another faction avaiable.
On EU side I've managed to do it multiple times. Just open recruit menu and start recruiting people (auto invite: BLUE | VALLEY | BOSS+PVP), after you got 30 guys stacked for sure you can get one kill at boss. I know it doesn't fix the imbalance issue, but that's at least how I've got it done. Also use /s (normal) /c (area) /z (faction) chats to recruit.
Meanwhile I'm having issues understanding some of the English translations.
Would appreciate function to reset skill cooldowns on residence training dummy steward. Would speed up the rotation practice instead of having to wait few minutes for full cooldowns.
Works perfectly fine for my enemies at least (playing berserker).
