    So chung was a female after all !

    DEAD FUCKING GAME

    • Flare Kyn says:

      Considering they’re still making characters for it, I would have to say no.

      • JollyJ says:

        KOG released UNO on Grand Chase right before they announcing the end of the game. They said it was a desperate attempt to bring players back because the game was dying. Elsword is getting as disgusting and toxic as GC, so…

        • Endgame says:

          Not to mention the fact that they’re resorting to collaborating with other, more popular Nexon games. Nay, the second most popular Nexon KR game. (Fifa Online is first. Them other nations take their football pretty seriously.)

          This reeks of desperation.

          • as says:

            Then you realize that they’re making an Elsword anime by one of the top animation studios in Korea, and that the game is high up in the game ranking charts, and is one of Nexon’s top games right behind DFO.

            But hey, baseless opinions > facts I guess.

          • geassgx says:

            where is my MS collab?

          • bbbb says:

            please tell me how cyphers and sudden attack are doing rn and when they had the collab w/ dfo

            making such baseless claims of “desperation” and “final moments of this game” w/o any factual support of any kind, along with actions that portray the contrary is ludicrous.
            absolutely ludicrous.

          • L says:

            @as Can I get a link to this information? Elsword is under DFO in revenue or in popularity? Because I posted before that DFO was ranked 3rd in the MMO revenue under LoL and another game.

          • L says:

            Because according to the KR ranking website and gaming research groups said that Elsword is a MORPG and is ranked 18 in MMO. It is also making less than any of the other Nexon games at the moment.

            Elsword’s at #36, I’m not good with Korean so I’m not listing all the Nexon games that are ranking higher than it.

            Elsword is hardly a top game for Nexon Korea.

            And, here’s the most important detail, although Elsword is high up there on popularity charts, they are not tracking how much profit the game is making. And what has been KOG’s core strategy for getting people to log on ever since the ST Revamp pissed everyone off back in Summer 2013? Free stuff giveaways.

            It’s getting an anime? So is Closers, which just fell off Gamenote’s top 100 and has been off of Gamemeca’s top 50 for two months now, and Arpiel, which is not out yet. If it were about top games, there would be second attempts at DFO and Maple Story animes. (Hell, the animated cutscenes are the best part of Maple Story. Why haven’t they tried again now that Maple Story has an actual story?)

            Huh. The first draft of the post decided to show up after all.

            …..I swear, Babel can be screwy sometimes.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            18, huh? That’s not bad, actually.

            And yeah, they do give away free stuff, but not all of the items you can get for free can be bought in the Item Mall. Infact, that actually seems pretty rare when it’s not Halloween.

        • Lankai says:

          True, and I actually hope Elsword dies next year, or early 2017.
          This game is officially shit now.
          ALMOST a Fourth Female release in a Row.
          (I don’t count Ciel as an actual Male character because it still revolves around Lu.)
          (Ara, Elesis, -Add-, Luciel, Rose)
          Not to mention the way this character looks, it’s going to shit on Deadly Chaser big time.

          People said this about Ciel’s Royal Guard, but that wasn’t really true.
          BUT, with Rose, it WILL replace DC.

          There won’t even be a reason to play DC anymore unless they
          completely give DC a Renewed Game Mechanic making DC a unique
          Chung class without a Cannon or something.

          We’re heading into 2016 and Gender-Locked still exist.
          Luckily I haven’t played Elsword for over 3 months now because
          I tried TERA and kinda like that game more.
          And also got into Blade&Soul’s CBT and Tree of Savior’s CBT.

          So I know what replaces Shitsword now. :l

          • randumb says:

            Remember how everyone judged KOG in the renewals based on the patch notes they released before each patch? and remember how everyone was wrong most of the time?
            Add in the fact that this is just a picture and KOG released a trailer that showed she doesn’t play like DC at all, and she’s suddenly unique.
            Dc is also only one class in a game with over 25 branches while Rose is just a base character. Even if Rose somehow plays similar to DC, she has a lot of room in her class branches to stray off his path.

            Also lol, everyone saying the Elsword is done just because Rose is a girl.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            Actually, before the revamp, the Noblesse path gave Ciel more combos than Lu.

            After the revamp, Lu and Ciel had the same amount of combos as eachother at 2nd job.

            So yeah. I’d say each of them are equally focused.

          • wulfralph says:

            really now the character isnt even out yet, no one even knows about the gameplay or the style. you are literally saying it is like DC just cuz she has some guns in a pic?. also just think about it, what kind of company is stupid enough to release 2 exactly characters. we have elsword and elesis but this is mostly cuz ppl saying they wanted genderlock removed so they released a “female version” of elsword, which lately became more different. also removing genderlock will rip the story.

        • Nova says:

          In their defense, KoG still has enough resources to commission an Elsword anime, and so is Closers, despite that game being completely irrelevant in terms of ranking in the Top 100 MMOGs in Korea.

          At best, yeah, it is desperation for needing more players. Which they wouldn’t be feeling if they learned how to balance their games properly.

  • ShadowsFortune says:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WBku9No1Qg

    Trailer for this character, uploaded on my channel.

  • Frizz says:

    Literally KoGs equivalent of “Look over there”

    “So where’s the luciel final path?”
    “Uh.. HEY LOOK A COLLAB CHARACTER ISN’T THAT INTERESTING”
    Then they fuck off to not nerfing what needs to be *cough cough* breadlord *cough cough*

  • Flare Kyn says:

    So if she has four paths… does that mean Elboy, Rena, Aisha, Raven, Eve, Chung, Ara, Elesis, Add, and LuCiel are gonna get 4th paths too?!

    If so, then what would that mean for LuCiel’s third and fourth paths?!

    • LJJ says:

      Nope she is only 4th paths

      • Flare Kyn says:

        Last I checked, you aren’t KoG.

        • Lankai says:

          She’s the only character that’s getting 4 paths because
          of the way her weapon mechanic is.

          She’s going to be the same as Rufus was in Grand Chase.
          I hope Shitsword dies next year or early 2017.

          This game is complete shit now.
          Not to mention we’re heading into 2016 and Gender-Lock still exist.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            Rufus didn’t have anything special with his classes, though.

            You can’t assume Rose will be the only one with 4 paths until KoG themselves say whether it’s true or not.

          • WahwahQ says:

            What is with you with gender locked ? The game started out that way. Pointless in whining about something like that. I hope the game survives beyond 2020. If you hate the game then leave and stop sounding like a broken record.
            People sure like to exxagerate rofl.

          • Fish says:

            @WahwahQ It’s okay! Don’t worry! Most people have already left!

            You can stay in your soon-to-be 33-class Elsword and pay for $10 B-slot, $8 mana necklace, $4~10 pet, $20~30 costume, $20 mount unlessyouplayduringlevelupeventsoryoubuyfrom marketbutifyoubuyfrommarketKOGgetsthemoneyanyways on every single class you plan to play, we’re going to play something else!

            I am TOTALLY exaggerating about those costs, by the way! I mean, $62 per class minimum to even DREAM of catching up with other cashing players? I mean that is total BS, am I right?! There is no way KOG would ever do that, am I right?! Ahahaha~

            Especially because you told us to! Good job supporting Elsword by telling people to GTFO the game because they want the game to actually improve! If I ever make a game, I would totally request for you to be our advertising coordinator!

          • Flare Kyn says:

            @Fish @WahwahQ You both have solid points as well as something stupid.

            Yes, this game does have problems, and it would be nice if KoG fixed them, but if people are seriously angry about it, they have the option to stop being involved with it. I, myself, actually enjoy this game and I plan to continue playing it in the future.

          • L says:

            Flare Kyn, the issue with that stance is that leaving the problem alone. If no one criticizes the publisher or developer for their faults, they learn to believe that their consumers agree with their decisions. Making a problem out of it does nothing. And at times, leaving the game does nothing because they think its just players getting tired of their game and they will advertise until they can get more consumers. The option proposed by many who seek change in anything is to simply tell them your discontent, your inevitable desertion, and how you wished they could have done well. This has a larger effect because it has actually had effects.

            For instance, this was the option used to fight against SOPA. Literally, the only example I need to provide to say that this is very effective. Sadly, this will probably fall on deaf ears because this is NA.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            I never said they had to leave quietly.

            Personally I prefer it if they tell KoG their reasons when they leave so that they know what problems they need to fix.

          • wulfralph says:

            yes i agree. but one thing is criticize and the other is this. he is not stating the problem he is just cursing the game ” hope it dies in 2017″ < if this is not cursing then what it is?

      • Milonar says:

        Well, F.Gunner has four Awakenings in Dungeon & Fighter, so I think that’s why Rose has four paths as well.

    • Suspect says:

      Maybe they meant 3 new path for this new character and transform path for luciel
      Though if they are really going give out 4th path maybe they took april fool joke too serious.

    • ._. says:

      She has four different weapons, so they’re making four different paths. Watch the trailer then read.

    • MonadoBoyz says:

      Well, she is based off of a Dungeon Fighter Online character, and that game had 4 job paths for most people, so I’m guessing that’s where it comes from. It’d be nice to see 4th job paths though.

  • Aeryno says:

    FUCK UR NEW CHARACTER I WANT MALE CHARACTER FUCK FUCK

  • SkimmedMilk says:

    Imo Kog is changing the system path and it started with luciel. Now the second one is Rose that will have 4 paths. Welp, do you really expect luciel will have a third path? Maybe Kog intends to leave it with 2 paths only. lol

    • Flare Kyn says:

      I do expect Lu and Ciel to have a third path. And possibly a fourth path, too.

      With Rose coming in, it could possibly mean everyone else getting a fourth path as well.

      • wat :o says:

        you kidding? fourth path? you serious?
        its kinda strange that no1 says “3rd jobs”. like that joke on april. where every path had a new extension. for me – it was rly cruel joke.
        because imo – that would be really nice. it would be muchmuch better
        P.S. Rose is manlier than DC

  • HealRD says:

    RIP Chung 12.17.15

    our guns trap, we won’t forget you.

  • Loud says:

    WHY THE HELL DID THEY RELEASE ANOTHER WOMAN?????????????

    7 women, 5 men. If she is a copy of the DFO Gunner, why the hell isn’t a copy of the MALE gunner? I hate KOG so much.

    • Endgame says:

      Eh? What the hell are you talking about?

      Male: Elbrat, Raven, Chung, Elesis, Add, Ciel
      Female: Aisha, Rena, Eve, Ara, Lu

      6 males 5 females. Rose balances things out! Rose is the bringer of equality!

      …..Until KOG confirms that Eve is a pure robot and was never human, meaning that Eve is technically genderless. Then we’ll need another girl!

    • lmaowat says:

      tbh i can’t think of any other kind weapon a character can have other than a sword, wand, bow, blade, drones, cannon, spear, dynamo, claw and gunblade. and drones and dynamo aren’t even weapons. I can tell this was rushed but what can you do after all the salt and broken classes there are.

      • Flare Kyn says:

        You forgot Claymore. Also, there are plenty of other weapons that can be used, and they can even make some weapons up if needed.

      • Lord says:

        Well… There’s axe, fists and kicks, mace, staff, nun-chucks, katana, boomerang, shield (could probably be used in some way), actual giant sword, hammer, crossbows, daggers…

        In terms of weapons, there are quite a few possibilities really… Imean if they honestly went over the Grand Chase character’s, they probably would have found something decent they could use. Jin or Asin would have worked greatly tbh as no-one currently is just punches and kicks + that leaves the characters not too open to being extremely overpowered but gives them alot of room for development.

        About the broken classes and all, they probably could have looked into all the ways people get 1-shotted and weakened all of those skills or potentially just double the amount of HP every character has. That would make everything last alot longer than 1 skill = 1 game. In terms of game mechanics like Dreadlord’s tricks to spamming combination skills, just make the stat effects do alot less, likewise limit alot of things. If a skill already gives mp back then don’t let it have an additional set of MP.

        They should really lower how much % you get from enchanting weapons too… +11 and +12’s are too overpowered in general- maybe take away like 30% from each enhancement or so ( like +11 –> +12 gives you an extra 40%. 30% of 40 = 12. 40 – 12 = 28 so make +11 –> +12 go up by 28%)

        Lol sorry if it seems like im ranting at you specifically- just started writing then this came out xD

      • Endgame says:

        Really? You can’t think of a weapon they haven’t used yet?

        I mean, for fuck’s sake, Grand Chase used plenty of weapons that Elsword hasn’t yet when they resorted to clone characters.

        No, scratch that, Elsword’s own enemies have weapon choices that they could use for playable characters. Namely Karis. Who even fights like a playable character with the same knockdown iframes, combo loops, etc. She’s got a scythe which no one uses, and has plenty of potential for new mechanics. We don’t have aerial combos yet in Elsword, but Karis has wings! Hey, maybe SHE could be the aerial attacker the game lacks! She also has her mind control powers, an ability none of the playable characters have. (That she doesn’t use as a boss neither. Come on KOG…..)

        …..Then KOG decided to kill her off. The end.

        Weapons they haven’t used yet:

        Scythe, axe, hammer, mace/flail, whip, nunchucks, fist/knuckle, shuriken/kunai, chakram, (Amy’s already set up for Elsword’s branching job advancement systems as is since all her classes have offensive mode and support mode in Grand Chase!) shield, (Why not? Glitters use their shields as weapons.)

        And on the magic/elemental side, there are little to no water, earth, nature/poison, and light based skills. (ZERO light skills at that.)

      • L says:

        They could always have a character wield a jackknife or use weapons we usually don’t see heroes using. Like, a whip, a banana knife, random objects, caribou antlers, and etc.

  • Person says:

    They should’ve chose m.fighter, f.fighter, or priest :T

  • SkyDevate says:

    KoG is very smart, they dont have to think about new char, they just coppied it from another game.
    Nice KoG.

    • Endgame says:

      More like they had to think harder on this one.

      Successfully convincing Neople to agree to this surely took more thought than Rule 63 Elbrat that’s actually manlier than all the actual male characters combined, Rule 63 edgelord Eve, and copying Zero (Maple Story)’s gimmick to make a Raven/Chung hybrid knockoff. All using recycled versions of already existing skills and having little to no original skills or concepts of their own.

      …..But the gameplay implications of Rose are going to be just as lazy and uninspired as the three most recent “new” characters + Asura. (Admit it. All they did was copypaste a bunch of random shit, some just recolored yellow, and slap it onto Ara.) In the trailer, she does after all, use attacks similar to those already in the game. (Chung’s dual pistols + siege weaponry, Eve’s machine guns, etc.)

  • ElmntNinja says:

    Another Chung/Deadly Chaser?

  • Zazomy says:

    So I guess I’ll ship Chung x Rose ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

  • Vette12 says:

    Omg really don’t we have enough archers on this game come on you guys could have at least did a male magician

  • AddFan666 says:

    hopefully she’s even worse than luciel
    i cannot wait to cause Eternal Salt with the new MLG meme character

  • Endgame says:

    This just reeks of desperation and was done hastily. A DFO collaboration? DFO? Nexon’ KRs second most popular game? Ha. Really think you’re going to get the DFO crowd to play Elesis Online instead of just sticking to DFO where they already have their female Gunner?

    And not to mention she offers nothing original. Nothing that hasn’t already been done in the game before through Chung, Eve, or Ciel. (Who was already heavily ripping off Chung.)

    And I find it hilarious that they’re giving her four class paths high priority, promising them before Spring, when they can’t even be assed to give Lu and Ciel their third one. And how hard could that be? Lu and Ciel have ZERO original skills. All they’ve done was take already existing skills and give them new animations. They can’t do another rushjob class path ala EVERY JOB PATH SINCE ELESIS?! (Even Yama Raja was CN levels of gimped upon initial release. KOG just didn’t give a fuck about Ara.)

    …..At least her design is an improvement over disgusting Elesis, “Look how edgy I am!” Add, Lu the hideous little munchkin, and elf Raven.

    • Endgame says:

      Wait, the only reason her design is an improvement is because her design is borrowed from another game.

      Bleh.

      …..Eh, KOG will ruin her once they get their “creative department” to design her job paths. Reminder that Prostitute Elesis is a thing.

    • thatguy says:

      the sad part is that when i seen this i thought the same thing and also in the reddit and ingame i see so many ppl making cracks about what elsword is now

  • Unknown says:

    And still no news about LuCiel Transfomation path but KOG already gonna release a new character…Seriously, so is it going to be like Eve just so that they can draw more players? Furthermore, in a way, just a new Chung(DC) and Ciel combined again. Can you think of an Original Character already KOG?

  • Nova says:

    The hell are they thinking with this? I can’t feel hyped for this at all, and FGunner’s my main DFO class.

    Doesn’t help that she’s in a bunch of other Nexon games like Cyphers, Sudden Attack, and even KartRider. Freaking KartRider.

  • awsed says:

    why copy the female gunner when they could have brought the priest… that would have been way more interesting than a char that uses the same concept as chung and ciel and just leaves rena to rot

    also, 4 paths? isn’t that excesive? not even elesis got 4 paths here on elsword

    • Flare Kyn says:

      How is Ciel anything like Chung? Yes, he has Marbas, BUT ONLY IN ONE PATH!

      Ciel is more like Rena than Chung.

      • awsed says:

        when did I say ciel was anything like chung? I said chung and ciel basically draw concepts from gunners (yes, even base ciel, if you haven’t noticed, his X commands shoot and his base skills also involve shooting), which are ranged fighters and then I also mentioned rena that was the original ranger and is now useless except for her bouncing and stupidly giantic tits

        why is there a need for more ranged characters when this is a “fighting” game not a FPS? is it now clear for you?

        • thatguy says:

          wait so u want saders to be god in this game as well

        • Flare Kyn says:

          Yes, it’s not a FPS. That DOESN’T mean that long-ranged characters don’t have a place in it.

          Long-ranged characters aren’t even perfect. Rena, Aisha, and Add can’t even attack above themselves without skills. Chung kind of can, but… yeah.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            Plus the way you worded it made it seem like Ciel was designed to use a cannon like Chung. I know they both are, in a sense, gunners, but they’re DIFFERENT KINDS of gunners.

          • awsed says:

            is not an FPS, is hack-and-slash beat-em-all MMORPG with some bit of a fighting game, we all agree on that yes, there wouldn’t be a problem with ranged if they didn’t kind of make an unfair match against melee characters making them repeat the same catching strategy until they are completely readable; but aside from that: if it has bits of a fighting game… where in the world is the goddamned brawler/fighter? DFO had one… couldn’t KOG ask for that one instead of letting neople pick for them? couldn’t KOG make their OWN character instead of looking for MORE “easy money”?

          • Flare Kyn says:

            The same catching strategy? What?

            Even Lord Knight has more than one way to get to an arrow-spam Rena.

  • Endgame says:

    A thought just occured to me:

    Has KOG given ANY thought to the non-KR versions?

    In the KR versions a few years back, there was a DFO, MS, and Mabinogi collaboration event where all three games got characters from the others as NPCs, cash shop outfits, and other goodies.

    For the NA versions, they cut out DFO. Because Nexon NA no longer had publishing rights to DFO.

    …..And Elsword and DFO are only both Nexon games in KR. In every other country, they have seperate publishers.

    So, what? Did KOG strike a deal to use the female Gunner in all versions in the game? Or are we going to see a KR only character?

    Just wondering, because KOG is dumb enough to do something like this in the name of KR favorism. (See also: Magic Wardrobe.)

    • awsed says:

      I would love it if she NEVER gets to this side of the world, thank you

    • George says:

      They’ll probably use a recolored version in NA and call her a different name.

    • Nova says:

      Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s their plan. DFO isn’t as big in the rest of the world as Korea. Just imagine what would happen if Rose turns out she’ll be brought to other versions. People who won’t know any better will probably think Rose is cool and waifufag the hell out of her.

      Hell, the fact that most of the foreign reactions I’ve seen of Rose is more of “Oh hey, she’s like a girl Rufus/Chung” and “Ooh, it’s Saber with guns!” than “What the hell, she’s from another game!?” pretty much says a lot.

  • lil D says:

    well… at least her design looks good. cant wait to see her be the next DiE tho :u

  • Kitory says:

    I’m kinda bummed out that the video only showed off her weapons rather than actual possible combos. After Ara, Add, and Lu/Ciel I feel kinda bored with the coming of new characters. I was excited for the renewal when they fixed Rena being unable to launch and gave Rune Slayer some really epic combos, but almost all the characters got the same attacks. I want a character that will be fun to play as, not one that will get me to star rank in a day. -_-

  • UNub says:

    More complaining from people who don’t know how to have fun. As usual.

    How many people level their alts and get them to the same level as their main? Can count those people on my fingers even with half of NA’s playerbase. The people who decide to not explore new things are the people who are incapable. And I put my hat off to you, you’re going to need a lot of damn luck on any other game you play that says “free to play.” Because the models are nearly the same.

    Anyway, kudos to my two favorite MMOs out for the collab. Desperate games don’t put out budget for things like these, that’s just the salt of people who have already quit/ given up on the game. No surprise there.

    • Flare Kyn says:

      Gonna need a Senzu for that one.

    • Yik46d says:

      I think of all the comments I read, this was the most positive out of all of them. And as usual it’s the same faces that have a problem of something that is very minimal.

      Now I’m not agreeing that the collaboration was a good idea nor bad idea but it was quite random for them to pick this out. One fun thing they could do is just limit the creation of the character for a certain amount of time like how MS does it. To those who got pissed off and stopped playing, why don’t you just leave? You guys seem to still hold some amount of interest for this game with the amount of baseless comments and theorycrafting here whenever there are new updates.

      Don’t bother commenting because I won’t look at this. The amount of salt here is worse than Donald Trump’s existence.

    • WahwahQ says:

      Thank you for not kissing peoples butts like the same faces people do on here. Thank you for not being salty and telling it how it is. I use to come here every update. It after seeing the same deadbeat commentors whining a about every goddamn thing and over speculating about everything just to shame a company. I mean if you rage at a game for so long and isn’t happy about their choices then leave? Its easy play another freetoplay model or pay2play. And don’t come up and make a bullshit excuse that you love this game or care for it so much your willing to sit behind a computer and make awful complaints and exxagerate everything. Anyway I won’t be back here just kinda hope I see someone “sane” here :3c and I did yay today’s a good day!

      • Nova says:

        Being negative is butt-kissing? Wow, that’s like defending a company everyone hates is being an apologist. Some people see it how it is. Doesn’t mean they’re jumping on the opinions of someone else.

    • Dimir says:

      Really glad to see some people who can be more positive. The point of a game is to have fun. The timing they announced the character was a bit off since people where pissed about the cancelled finals. Just let’s have her come and see what playing her will be like.

      Elsword may be unique in various ways, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is a game. People have to understand this.

  • hi says:

    I wonder if she is gonna use pure shooting combos or have some melee combos as well.

  • Luca says:

    They should’ve brought Thief.
    Elsword has no dual dagger/dagger focused character. But nah, let’s bring over more gunshit.
    Right, KoG?

    • hi says:

      or a scythe class would be cool XD

      • Endgame says:

        Karis should have been the 8th playable character instead of disgusting Elesis.

        KOG had the perfect candidate, but noooooo! Let’s take the main character of Grand Chase and make her the main character of Elsword too!

        • Flare Kyn says:

          For the love of god, how is Elesis the main character?!

          Not every main character is going to be the best character through the entire story! Elboy could eventually become stronger than his sister, both story-wise and gameplay-wise!

          • Nova says:

            Don’t argue with the autist.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            Don’t believe stereotypes, dude.

            I’m actually autistic and I can actually admit being wrong.

          • Nova says:

            There’s actual autism, and there’s the buzzword autism. Endgame is the latter.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            Okay, I can agree with that.

            Still wish Endgame would shut up, though.

          • LuckyDucky says:

            You two aren’t just ‘buzzword autistic’. You’re flat out retarded.

            The rest of us are sick of hearing about how badly you want Endgame to fuck you up the ass.

          • Flare Kyn says:

            SHUT THE HELL UP YOU STUPID DUCK!!

            I WANT HIM TO EITHER SHUT UP OR STOP USING THEORYCRAFT, BECAUSE HE’S SHOWN MULTIPLE TIMES THAT HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT, BUT HE CONTINUES TO SPEAK BULLSHIT!

          • LuckyDucky says:

            Go ahead and do it. If you haven’t been banned for being the most active spammer yet, then nothing’s ever going to get done around here.

          • LuckyDucky says:

            Oops. Meant to write that reply to your post where you threatened to contact 2na.

            Either way, such over the top reactions are a classic trademark of tsunderes. :3

    • thatguy says:

      thief isnt that popular in kdnf and yea

  • Satsuaki says:

    Strange, I was under the impression all of her jobs are released immediately and she is a temporary character that will last until Spring. If that is the case all the cards line up properly.

  • Akihira says:

    …Am I the only one here NOT hating KOG and actually looking forward to Rose’s release? >.>

  • Blayz says:

    I’m rather excited for Rose.
    I love the Female Gunner in DFO so I’ll gladly make 2 or even 3 or possibly 4 in Elsword!

  • nawan says:

    rufus pattern attack detect

  • Sally says:

    Honestly, I’m neither excited nor disappointed about this new character…… and I do hope LuCiel’s third path won’t be something crazy……..

  • MagicSpice says:

    artwork seems good. play style seems versitile. too bad she seems like a DC ripoff at first glance…

    i gotta get some visuals b4 i can properly judge her. but her reveal timing is way off…

    also, why another girl? i don’t mind using girl characters (I even main DW), but is KOG trying the cute/sex appeal route or what? cause there’s costumes for that…

    i’m pretty sure the bunny girl and psychic devil sets produced a lot of boners already

  • fluffybottoms says:

    wait four paths? 4 guns? maybe i am overthinking it but what if path is a typo and her first class path focuses on two diffrent weapons and in c1 part 1 she uses 1 tpye and then she class changes into another type. it would mean that her 4 paths would be the same as her number of guns. it would be different than any of the other classes that focus mostly on one aspect of the character. gatling into railgun maybe?

  • Daniel says:

    This…This the FINAL nail in the coffin. I AM PLAYING DFO instead!!! BOOO KoG! Shame on you!

  • Mugen says:

    KOG fucked up yet again. (-.-) Smh

  • darklord says:

    uh damn! KOG release rose, the second copy of chung after ciel. but why not male! 7 female, 5 male, I think that must be a terrible! and someone said funny joke like elesis is a male. and then, luciel just has 2 path, and KOG release rose with 4 path! oh, that’s very funny you know!

    • Flare Kyn says:

      Uh…………… Ciel isn’t a Chung copy. Yes they both use projectiles, but Chung uses a heavy cannon as his main weapon and only gains his silver shooters in a single route while Ciel uses gunblades as his main weapon and only gains a cannon in one route, and that cannon doesn’t even work the same way as Chung’s.

  • meme marauder says:

    I can’t get excited about this. I’d rather have KOG just port over and and ruin another GC character.

  • blank says:

    lol another hot shot, we already got one character that uses GUN, then why do we need a female gunner now. seriously think a bit differently, if it were something like using ‘GAUNTLET’, or ‘SCYTHE’, or ‘Kunai’ then would have guess that at least something different came. but the way it is, this character totally gonna CRUSH the game. ‘no more future left’

    also game is somehow turning into a ”ALL FEMALE” characters, right now theres more female and less male characters for the character creation. is KIM planing to get more female characters for the game, really if it thats the case, then all the character should have been female (example: scarlet blade). gg , get some good ideas for the game, or shut it down.

    • Flare Kyn says:

      What? Just ’cause we have two more girls than boys, it’s suddenly ‘all female’ characters? Um… how about NO?

      • Mugen says:

        @Flare Kyn Sir, it seems like you are forgetting the fact that: this actually makes the gender ratio 4:7 (I only group Ciel with Lu, because she’s the center of the duo). These niqqas released 5 GIRL CHARACTERS, ALMOST SEQUENTIALLY! The only guys that were released was Chung and Add. But, without these fackers, it’s been: Eve to Ara to Elesis(I don’t even know of this betch counts) to Luciel AND NOW ROSE! HAREM GAME MUCH????

        And if you still don’t believe me, then look at the other MMO’s that Korea made! Many of them are facking PACKED with girls that receive so mach facking fan service. How low can they be, to just give these bimbos, SEXUAL APPEALS to just make it sell to the perverted fanboys that sit in their mom’s basement and playing and funding these shetty companies! Fack dat, dude.

        Why make a character before LuCiel’s third class, that we don’t know. But, they could’ve made up something other than facking dual pistols, weapons that are already recognized with out late Deadly Chaster(Pls R.I.P Sir Seiker).

        I mean…WHAT THE FACK KOG???? COME ON!!! YOU DAMN PLEBS DON’T HAVE ANY MORE IDEAS FOR CHARACTERS WITH WEAPONS OTHER THAN SWORDS AND GUNS??? How about a motha facking NINJA or some shet? Or maybe some necromancer with a scythe??? Some street brawler with brace knuckles??? Or even some kung fu guy with nunchucks???? Call that person Lee or some shet! A priest/exorcist that uses a staff or something???? Anything but another gun class that will literally get DC facking thrown into oblivion.

        • Stacyson says:

          Which leaves me to believe that they really do get money off of jiggly physics. They had enough money to budget a bouncing chest but couldn’t even balance characters properly.

          • Endgame says:

            Elesis is allegedly the most popular female character these days *CoughbecauseKOGpromoteshermorecough* and she has mosquito bites.

            Soooooo…..

  • Yo says:

    And then… KoG decide release another DC/Ciel to the collection… really? this character is not from elsword <_< please dont fall in this type of plans to do new characters, in a few years elsword going to have 122345 same characters and 70% from another games <_<

  • Arhles says:

    HMM im jus concerned about getting another character based on firepower, instead of something “new” to the game like a schyte, daggers, axe, or a char that uses just the fists that would be awsome but meh ima wait and see what Rose brings to the table

  • MenotMe says:

    So it’s Saber with gun ?

  • When will get a fighter?! says:

    GIVE US A BRAWLER, MALE FIGHTER FROM DFO WOULD OF BEEN PERFECT. Good job KOG, good, fucking, job. Why not Jin from Grandchase? Or Asin? WHY ANOTHER gunner (and female one? Why not MALE gunner?) KOG is seriously dropping a stone on their toe. And look at the reactions this got from the Korean picture, only 2 people excited out of hundreds…

  • Ascherion says:

    To every body: Shut your disgusting hater’s commentary! Elsword rest a good game in his basic form. It’s not characters themselfs who are disgusting but what players are doing of these classes… Ara and Add for exemple, are character’s with many differents combos, they are easy to play and THE PROBLEM is just those of players who don’t care of it dans “have fun” with spam! “cuz it’s the most efficient” lol!

    Just try to master your character and it will be fine for everybody.
    I like this new character BUT i will loathe of casuals who spam “4 fun lol xDxD”.

    • Endgame says:

      You seriously don’t see that KOG blatantly designed Add to be a no skill character to cater to the braindead, complete with a character design and characterization (Namely as DE) that you have to be terminally stupid to NOT be offended by him and his stupid rapeface he always has going? (Not to mention his entire motivation is to kidnap and cut open one of the girls. MAN THAT’S SO EDGY AND COOL!)

      Really? It’s the players’ fault that Add is disgusting, and not the creators who designed him to appeal to those people?

      • Stacyson says:

        I actually find it more funny how Add players in the NA server actually TRIES to be the character itself. It looks really stupid and it shows that they clearly have nothing better to do.

    • Anonymous says:

      It is actually a nah….. well yeah players tend to spam because it is very easy to do with those characters and yes they have many different combo but is it efficient enough for them to win??? And all characters can actually spam…. But, why the heck do they need to put a character with a nearly unstoppable spam?? well to gain more players and for their players to stick in the game because those characters have the capability to win against other characters with ease…… And you can never ever prevent or stop people like them, so the perfect way to decrease those players is to have a game and characters that are perfectly balanced in all things…..

  • HaiHai says:

    You guys… Don’t say this amazing game (It’s the players that make it horrible) is “dead”. The Character Revamps and new dgns and Town isn’t even here yet!!! XDDDDD Waiting for those Revamps~~`

  • hmmm says:

    Looks like you all play Elsword really much ^_^
    wakaka

  • Alexias says:

    I hope the next character is a copycat.

    • Endgame says:

      Oh don’t you worry about that. Even Ara, their last original character, had a third path that is entirely copypasted skills from other characters.

      KOG recycles everything these days. (Case in point: This week’s update: Eltrion’s back with some slight recoloring!)

      Fuck, Lu’s even using Rena’s old model as a base, and as Nobblesse she steals base Aisha’s stage start laugh animation. They can’t come up with ANYTHING new anymore.

      • Anonymous says:

        Exactly….. and they just put a new unique ability or skill to that character (very very unique and unbalance) to distinguish them from others……

  • Anonymous says:

    This is why Grand Chase died…….. You made a character which is something new and is very unique unlike the very first characters which is left behind, of course that is somewhat unfair for the other characters… You should stay from the usual character game play style not a new one… starting from Ara, with her very long ranged spear.. Add, that uses dp and vacuum thingy, LuCiel which is a two character and now that Rose which has a 4 job path….. Oh c’mon you’re too much desperate to make people stay, please try to empathize a bit more if you are the player….. People always find the strongest character in a game and they will use it to win against any character thus making all people go for that character which will make the game more boring and very unbalaced. If you make a character its abilities, skills, and gameplay should always be fair for other characters too.

    Just in my opinion this is why a game always END because it gradually becomes an unbalanced game… Just stating my opinion.

  • Anonymous says:

    Another thing you can also try to make a contest for character making.. all people love to show and share their own ideas. It will actually gain some players ( I think) and make people think that you are considering your players and giving them freedom and opportunity to make the game better, unless you are really just a gold digger who just love to make money, money, money, and nothing more..

  • Mugen says:

    If only Kill3rCombo was still here. Back then, they knew what they were doing. They knew how to make the game enjoyable. But, ever since KOG came into the picture…they screwed up EVERYTHING.

    The way I see it….KOG won’t last another 2 years. I cant wait for CloserS to come to NA. I swear if KOG gets their hands on NA CloserS, I’m going with my RF to use “Nuclear” on their building.

    • Endgame says:

      I’m positive Naddic will self-host the game, since Nexon NA doesn’t seem interested in bringing any new games over anytime soon. (Besides Maple Story 2. We’re going to see the NA version in at least CBT by the end of the year.)

      But one thing you can absolutely be sure of is that Naddic will NOT do any dealings with KOG. They’re the ones that worked at KOG, worked on Elsword, and fled. They knew how KOG was going to ruin the game long before any of us did and wanted no part of it. They will NOT let KOG ruin their game a second time.

      • Endgame says:

        Err, I meant before the end of 2016 for NA MS2.

      • Mugen says:

        Well, Im glad I know they won’t be ruining another game. I heard they also started making an new game called: “HeroWarz” and it just looks like another huge ripoff. But, anyways I can guarantee that many players will leave Elsword for CloserS when it comes to NA. That’s for sure.

    • TheWingedChicken says:

      Kill3rCombo IS KoG. They just changed their name.

  • DANIEL says:

    IMPORTA? LO QUE SEA LO IMPORTANTE ES QUE HAY UN NUEVO PJ Y ESO ES FANTASTICO XD

  • SweetSama says:

    KOG, I am VERY dissapointed with you. YOU MOTHERFUCKING SCREWED UP THE GAME! FIRST ADD, NOW ROSE??!!!!!!!!! FUCK THIS YOU KNOW THAT?

  • Rivejix says:

    So basically… Elsword is dying because of it’s broken balance? The PvP part of it. That. And the fact they do not ( they being KOG) listen to the players. They do not listen to feedback. I could name some INDIE Companies that do that. While it seems that big coporate brand companies act like they know how to do things. Do they not understand that the Players are the reason why they make the money they make? Or do they not understand how to put Work into it? Seeing as many consider their “balances” half assed. Do they not have flexability? They could change their plans, and work on the problems that have made it so toxic, yet they dont try. Granted, its most likely alot of work, but does that really matter? If they can make an Anime of the damn thing, Why dont they actually use the assets they HAVE to work on the bigger problems instead of presenting new things? I mean… You would think they would have learned that by now. They are only human, but they could easily have thought of something like that. Whether it dies, or not, They’ll learn it the hard way. (P.S. doing this on a phone which is very hard to see the words. X.x) Thus, concludes my rant, or whatever you want to call it. The Customer(s) IS(ARE) Always Right. That is all I have to say on the subject.
