    Assault Missions

    There is absolutely no reason to have to make these missions as painful as they were 10 years ago.

    This needs to be fixed. Why is the drop rate for Orichalcum Survey STILL so horrific that you have to attempt the mission MULTIPLE times?

    Come on, fix it.

    I’ve done all the Assault missions solo several times now and I think they are all pretty reasonable to do. A few exceptions; in my opinion the Perqiia assault “Building Bridges” is a bit crazy and relies on mad skills and some luck, and I just can’t stand it.

    ya hell no. I have been doing this stupid Orichalcum assault for 8 FUCKING HOURS now... they gotta fix this terrible system. It should be less RNG based. That is ONE mission...

    I've never had a problem with that mission.

    Also, they didn't "make" anything any harder, they just haven't made it easier. Since not all of these missions are heavily combat focused, being overleveled does not make them easier. assault tags come back fast now so it really isn't a big deal.

    just let us trade items from outside the assaults, food, orichalcum ore, gold beastcoins, etc.
    ...mainly just the ore really.

    I get that they have not made them any harder since original release. Perhaps a poor choice of wording.

    Leaving it the same as it was at when the content was released is insane. With everything else that has changed, been made better or more accessible, why would you leave the Assault missions so awful. Especially when the level 75 reward is needed to make current end game meta items. The upgrade process is still long and tedious, isn't that enough?

    I think you're doing something wrong, even with the worst luck in the universe you shouldn't be spending 8 hours on it. I've only even failed it like once.

    Orichalcum is based on number of mine attempts, invite one other person and it's near 100% Otherwise just get mov speed and mine fast and often.

    They really do need to look at these, but I don't think they will. I think the reason being they just look at clear logs, and since a lot of people clear them (in other ways) then they think it's fine.
