Sponge-Bob MMO Version 1.40 Update

Changelog:
>Krabby Patty consumables have been buffed to heal 30% of HP instead of 20%
>Squidward's Krakatoa tech now deals 10% more damage to Plankton characters
>Jellyfish Fields now has a new raid boss
>Plankton's base DEX has been lowered
>Boating School quest line is now easier

Anyone been playing recently? Been trying to beat the Karen raid boss for ages but my Magma Man Squidward build can't seem to dent her.

Which Karen are you trying to take down? The giant one at the end of the Chum Bucket dungeon, or the smaller wandering one in the overworld?

Either way, you're supposed to be with a raid, they are raid bosses after all.

I stopped playing when they nerfed Musclebob Buffpants, I get it was OP as fuck but now there's literally no reason to play it with the arm deflating cooldowns.

>didn't get a beta key
>whines like a bitch
Just wait for the next wave to get sent out fucking pleb

Ever since the last update made chocolate cost 40% less I've been making mad bank on that shit.

>Krabby Patty consumables have been buffed to heal 30% of HP instead of 20%

Good I spent weeks maxing cooking for that shit

>Jellyfish Fields now has a new raid boss

Does it replace king jellyfish? I might start a new character then

>Boating School quest line is now easier

Oh great, even more people spamming horns now

why the fuck do they gotta make getting your license so hard? i just want my fucking mount. it still takes years to get it. its fucked up

>autism: the thread

It's supposed to keep newfags from getting boats and plowing through early game content too quickly

>he didn't get the squilliam skin from the band questline
Plebs, all of you.
>he didn't get the beta key

Just get a rock like everyone else. Once everyone can drive a boat you won't care anymore because it loses status

I wish MMORPGs were still a thing. I never had the chance to play during the peak years but I'm afraid to play with a completely dead playerbase.[/ spoiler]

Someone explain to me why they locked out squidward classes from using the rock

I can't be assed to go through boating school yet I can't use rocks so I'm having to fucking WALK EVERYWHERE AND IT TAKES FUCKING FOREVER TO GRIND CLAMS FUCK

Holy shit, the new Jellyfish Fields boss is extremely hard. Is it because I'm playing as Patrick? I regret picking him because he's been really hard to play with. Might start a new character soon.

Holy shit I've been trying to complete this quest for hours

This minigame chain never ends

that boss questline is a dead end anyways, you can just use any sandy character to tank it and then give the loot to your main

Squidwards can use the box

No idea where to get one though. I've only seen it once.

You get it by ordering the big flat screen TV and donating it to another player

it's just standard checking dude, I don't see the problem.

Unless you picked the plankton race and you're just learning about it now...

>questing on my level 63 Fred tank
>rounding up multiple plankton and killing them
>all of a sudden a level 60 Spongebob specced into Drivers License runs me over and instantly breaks my legs
fuck this game, seriously.

Check the wiki, it's a quest reward from 2011 that no longer drops. Why the fuck is this game so centered towards people that played the beta? I just want to play normally but can't even get around quickly (much less pvp) because everyone and their fucking mother can stomp me with exclusive content from years ago.

Why hasn't there been a Spongebob cartoon yet? The setting is perfect for it!

Why do they keep nerfing plankton mains? it's bullshit, he needs a buff.

>>>/SBO/

Why do we even have /vg/ again when retards don't use the generals? Game went to shit around 2012 anyways

>Finally finish the prerequisites to prestige class to Barnacle Man
>Can't wait to try out the adult sized Krabby Patty consumables
>Heals a little bit more HP while taking up more inventory space and taking longer to eat

Are you serious? This is what I suffered through the Atomic Flounder raid for? I don't really like this spec that much but my friend mains Mermaid Man and he needs me to help him do the Raging Whirlpool combo attack. Probably just going to keep using the kid-sized patties, what a waste of time.

>runs me over and instantly breaks my legs
Billy and Mandy Online General is two blocks down, imbecil.

They're nerfing the wrong shit

The real problem with plankton is you can just stack intellect and you don't have to balance multiple stats.

well maybe you guys should stop trying to hack into the Secret Formuler Raid. It's always the Planktons

The Patrick class was overlooked again....

Its pretty pathetic when his "My name's not Rick" only mitigates 20% of damage.

Do the pipsqueak patty questline, dummy. After finishing it the merchant in the krusty krab will start selling them to you at 10g each-- they heal barely fuckall but there's no cooldowns on them so if you have an empty inventory you can hoard them and pop them en masse

Stay quiet before they nerf "I'm Dirty Dan"

You want to be overlooked

>implying valentines day patrick isnt broken

"I DEFY YOU HEART MAN" should not fucking oneshot people in duels.

>he doesen't wear pic related on his spongebob

Be happy they didn't nerf his starfishman costume even further.

Fuck you Patrick's Wall of Psychic Energy ability is near impenetrable unless you're one of the few players who got the Shell City Cyclops summon.

>Billy and Mandy Online
that game doesnt exist dont be ridiculous

>He doesn't wear the real ten gallon hat.
All your hat does is cause Sandy players enrage ability to activate. Where as this glorious hat is a hard counter to it.

Only girls and fags pretending to be girls play sandy, that's why they're all shit and she's broken as fuck.

Just get the Sandwich. You just have to go to the secret room underneath the Krusty Krab

I respect you dirty dan

But we all know the real best costume

Do The Sponge is such a broken ability anyway.

>he needs crutch cosmetics
lul

It's not broken when you consider that long tan and handsome bob completely lacks agility and Dex.

Well then tell me Mr. Tough guy. How did you beat the winter treedome raid? Shit's impossible without a ten gallon hat.

Have they fixed the bug with the "Patty Lover" perk that causes you to eat all consumables in your inventory?

That perk was a big part of the build I was going for, and I don't want to start a new character.

Does anyone here actually fucking main Pearl? The ONLY Pearls I've seen are people on alts trying to erp for money. It's a fucking shame too because even though she's underpowered she's still more fleshed out than ANY fucking Plankton subclass and you can't go to any hub without seeing 40 of those stupid assholes

I'm sorry you need to play a broken class like sandy to pretend you have skill.

It's not a bug, people bitched about the perk having too much synergy with almost all squidward subclasses so they fucking nerfed it

I have to have my friend carry all my patties for me now

Is pearl actually good at higher levels or should I just switch now? I'm not too far in but the only groups that will take me are idiots that dont know how to play the game. I'm taking that as a hint.

I dont get this at all. She's a tank that buffs party members with cheers? But she can't keep aggro like sandy so what is the fucking point. I'm basically a support role that can't die because ?????

>he doesn't erp PearlXMr Krabs incest

I abused the broken stealth mechanics with a Spongebob with the 'Silent Bob' perk. It becomes even easier with the blowdryer item that lets you become the Flying Sponge, since Sandy can't track your snowprints that way.

Just switch now. Ever since the Neptune's Crown quest update support for the Pearl class has become shit. She's a decent counter for plankton players but that's about it.

Everyones always butthurt about plankton, that's why I enjoy playing him.

She's a REALLY niche class. Basically if you're not min-maxing every single stat with her she's going to be useless against anyone but Plankton. You're seriously better off just going Gary if you want to be a support role, he does twice the healing with half the effort of pearl (but at the cost of shit offense so if you have bad teammates you're fucked)

How did this class stay under the dev's radar? It's broken as fuck with Garbage Smell and Depression perks.

>all these flying bobs who think they are safe

Think again

Shit never thought of it that way. A guy like you probably got into the Salty Spitoon on the first try.

Don't spongebob players have to willingly summon the ice cream truck? I figured it was just a joke ability. Does it have any real uses?

I got patricks award, so I'm immune to that.

>he doesn't know
Flying ice cream trucks only spawn when a player mentions flying ice cream trucks in the chat. Normally they're a rare occurence because they scale to destroy whoever spawns them regardless of level, but there are entire guilds dedicated to summoning wild packs of them.

Is grinding Flats worthwhile?

Pearl has too many negatives to possibly justify her high base STR.

>Stats go down when you aren't playing with a group of 4+ people
>Stats go down if you have a Mr. Krabs in your party
>Special abilities dependent on the amount of people in your friends list (some requiring hundreds to be worth it)
>Unable to barter with merchants, who also charge you more since you're technically a Tank-class character
>Undroppable "Picky" perk makes her unable to eat most food in the game

Her only real positive is her Cheerleading which has the potential to give the highest possible Stat Boost for party members, but only slightly moreso than a Spongebob with a Boom Box.

>go to trading hub
>cluster of pearls there begging people to friend them so they get their buffs

Fucking pathetic. Why is this even a mechanic? Encouraging teamwork?

No, spongebob will always be the most popular character and is a hard counter to flats. Plus if the NPCs see you kicking butts they'll gang up on you.

>autism: the post

>He doesn't spec into "Ugly and Proud"

How the FUCK does anyone beat the flying dutchman raid. I can't get passed the perfume department. The hands keep taking my gas masks and then drain my health with perfume. It's fucking impossible.

>mfw King Neptune superboss

He's fucking impossible. I refuse to believe anyone has legitimately soloed this guy, and soloing him is the only way to get the Atlantis hub + all of the rewards there.

Is there any good way to beat him without cheesing him with Spongebob's ultimate spatula? How are other characters supposed to beat him?

THIS GUY JUST SHOWED UP IN MY SERVER AND WONT STOP CHASING MY PARTY

WHAT THE HELL DO I DO HES TAKING NO DAMAGE

You need to git gud

To all of you people saying Pearl is bad, you have NOT seen her Growth Spurt ability. You can keep feeding her Non-Krabby Patty consumables to charge up, and once you feed her a Krabby Patty, she goes berserk with power and can obliterate packs of enemies in seconds. Too bad it takes a lot of consumables to do this, but it is well worth it for you Pearl people out there.

The only way is to brute force it with sheer stats and passive healing if you can get it. Grinding is basically the only thing you can do

>He doesn't main Bubble spells
Why are you even playing the game seriously? Cruise Bubble has the best damage of all Songebob spells, and it doesn't even cost that much when you max out Bubble Efficiency.

Hurry and find some spiked cleats and equip them. Then step off a high building. That should let you damage him

>Bubble Bass still not nerfed
>Can get pass him without diamond spatula

>want to wreck shit as pearl
>have to buy hundreds of consumables to do a gimmick ability

>want to wreck shit as anyone else
>play the game normally

Why is Pearl even an option?

>Why is Pearl even an option?

Waifu bait, why else?

Ugh, I need more King Jelly to upgrade my net, but the guy won't respawn for me. Even then, the market keeps the price way too high for a relatively low-level crafting item (they really should be overcharging for robot parts). What do?

Did any of you actually do it? What happens?

You get a unique game over sequence

Sandy is waifubait too but at least she's actually fucking viable. Half of the classes serve no purpose and are just rehashed versions of other classes or flat-out useless. Unless you adhere to the meta of

>bubble spells
>dirty dan
>krakatoa
>any gary subclass

You're basically forcing yourself to trudge through the game behind everyone else. They seriously need to fucking overhaul all the classes, the balance is batshit insane

If I remember correctly, it takes you to the Nightmare version of Spongebob's dream. The place is a maze, and edgy enemies do way too much damage. If I were you, I wouldn't even bother for, what, the obsidian spatula at the end? Just get it through trading.

*charges at you and instakills you* How do you even counter this faggot?

If you happen to have a Sandy on your team, use the Invisible Squirrel tree to phase-shift around the attack. I think a later upgrade lets you AoE it with your teammates.

Do you main glass bones and paper skin guy or what

They really need to nerf Sandy sometime. I keep seeing everyone play more and more Sandy on here because of how OP she is. They should just rename this game to Sandy Online at this point

whats happening

>show up in Sandy's Dome
>killing mobs with Patrick's Kickboxer ability
>shitty Spongegar main comes and tries to PvP me
>beat the fuck out of him
>whispers "fuck u faggot"

You're dying

>trade 1k clams for some diet shampoo for my bubble buddy
>its fucking regular shampoo

WATCH OUT
BEST SKIN COMING THROUGH

>I need more King Jelly to upgrade my net, but the guy won't respawn for me.

Fuck this dude. Impossible to avoid at low levels and impossible to find when you need him.

Explain to me why nobody plays Squidward anymore. I liked him when he was around.

People fell for memes that squidward was shit when he's the most balanced class in the game.

>Plankton's base DEX has been lowered
>Squidward's Krakatoa tech now deals 10% more damage to Plankton characters
WHY DO THE DEVS HATE PLANKTON SO MUCH
next update better be a huge plankton buff

I thought Plankton was able to summon robots as an ability, which is stupidly powerful when done right. Or have you not unlocked that yet?

fuck off plankton shitter he's where he belongs now more even with the rest of the cast. intellect too stonk

What time are you playing

Squidward players are beauty sleepers. When my schedule changed and I started playing in the day time they were suddenly everywhere.

They removed that because people bitched that plankton finally had something good.

>Plankton's base DEX has been lowered

Who cares, you get all your good stats from INT

Oh yeah, you're right, sorry. And they also removed it because the AI for the bots kept targeting the summoner or something?
