Been playing this game since launch thoroughly enjoying it but hitting level 50 has left me deflated.

As a huge MMO player I love this game, I was very skeptic at first coming into this after previously pumping 400 hours into lost ark and hitting a complete pay wall. But Throne & Liberty has surprised me!

From stunning vistas to a feeling of community and a living breathing world, this game does everything right, even if falling off ledges is a bit buggy and irritating.

That being said, the last couple of nights has left me frustrated with the co-op dungeon experience. I’m finding people leave after one failed attempt - people gotta learn right? Give them a chance.

Others simply don’t talk and when you give them direction they continue to not respond and do everything wrong. I had a tank last night who had no clue. In numerous occasions we tried to help but he was completely mute. I partially believe this is due to the in game chat system being quite polluted and not just that they were ignorant. It also does not help that the ‘looking for party’ chat is the same colour as your active ‘party’.

My other issue is that I feel like the these last 2/3 three days I’ve got nowhere with gear. I’m still rocking blue, and that is all I seem to get, that goes for dungeon runs, open dungeons and contract purple pouches. Starting to feel like I’m making zero progress and it’s a horrible feeling.

I still have 2 green jewellery pieces which I can’t for the life of me find out how to craft a rare blue lithograph… apparently it’s bugged?

At the moment, co-op dungeons with randoms are one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in an MMO. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? If I am, please give me some direction.
