Do I sense desperation in Kog’s recent patches?
People tell them to fix the game; they’re finally doing it and this is how everyone acts.
Because it’s not like they’re only now getting to actually trying to fix the game after the game has reached its lowest point while continuing to treat the players like shit right after the Skill Tree revamp that had people ragequitting left and right or anything of the sort…..
Especially not the Ara players who had a “new” character which KOG hyped up more than anyone else steal the spotlight from Ara when they were expecting a new job path. Nope. Not at all.
KOG totally isn’t doing too little too late.
Ignoring your bias for Ara + cynicism and everything else considered, KOG only recently got the new director and these changes are happening in tandem with that.
Game is going well, hero gear has the potential to match or surpass Raid gear, Add Nasod dungeon for “definitive” best weapon to farm for, PvP balance patches coming in more frequency, etc.
This is more like a dream that people in S3 had and are slowly getting. We only went ballistic asking for changes because KOG kept releasing characters with updated mechanics that made playing something like LK, DW, and GA almost worthless. The new class could always do better. Yama Raja with Suppression was blatantly better, people just were terrible with her at the start.
HOLD ON A SECOND THERE!
So you’re telling me that the weapon you had to grind competitively for months, and even then you’re not guaranteed to fully upgrade it, will not be the best weapon, but the gear absolutely everyone can get at any time is gonna be better than that?
Can you run that by me one more time?
Um… what? I see nothing that implies that, Cookie.
Oh, wait, now I see what you’re talking about.
But tbh, it actually makes sense, because why make the best gear something that not everyone can get? It’s called balancing.
Also, the Add Dungeon isn’t exactly easy from what I know of, so you have to earn the weapon there as well, and alone at that.
>his bias for ara
get it right, it’s aisha he’s biased for.
and at any rate, no amount of bootlicking on a site kog` doesn’t care about is going ot make the game stop nosediving.
@Cookie.
You, my friend, are one of the only players left who see the Bullshit for what it is.
@Malle To be fair, Raid weapons ARE old (like before the level 99 cap old)
Cancergame really isn’t up to date, is he?
As UNub said, this is all because we have a *new* director, one who actually wants this game to be good. Not that it wasn’t good before, imo, but people kept shitting on it, sometimes for no good reason (I still feel like Elesis was never “Elsword 2.0).
I can’t help to agree. People tend to complain not just about Elesis, but about all the new characters. Saying “This skill is just a copy of this skill that this other character already has” or “This is a broken combo this character is trash.” or various other excuses to complain.
I feel like instead of complaining about this stuff and getting angry about it, we should be reporting unbalanced stuff to KoG and having fun with the new characters regardless of what similarities they might have to others. It’s not like Elsword is the only game that makes characters that are a little bit similar to each other, and I don’t recall hearing people complaining about it this much elsewhere.
Really, I can’t help but feel like the people that are still complaining about the game are the people who barely even play anymore and are just looking for excuses to bitch.
Well, they are very limited in what they can do since this game isn’t exactly the most up to date in terms of programming. The skills and attacks will be similar since, like most games they try to reuse old assets and reskin because it is cheaper and doesn’t require as much money to accomplish the same thing. It’s the reason why some games treat sabers, cutlasses, and arming swords as all being similar.
I do think the new director is trying to fix the time it takes to effectively grind for an end game weapon, but that should have been handled better. Since it was bound to get people angry when people were actively working on their weapons. The next thing they could do is fix the power curve and try to make it feel like everything doesn’t die in 3 hits or less.
Anon, can you tell me how to change my icon?
I believe you need an account to have access to it. We’re are basically using guest accounts that give us an image of a 8-bit sprite.
You mean an Elwiki account?
I think.
Odd, because I have an elwiki account, and I can’t figure out how to change it.
Maybe ask 2na fish on his tumblr?
Unfortunately, I don’t Tumblr.
Not sure where else to contact 2nafish then.
I think I have an idea on how to get a profile picture.. I’m not sure yet but I think you’re supposed to get a gravatar which will assign you a profile pic when you leave a reply with a certain email you registered with.
IT WORKS!!!
Oh nice!
I know right…?
fixed BM liberation will skill damage increase not working on fatal wound
then in the balance patch says: skill damage increase changed to only affect special actives
so they fixed it by removing it… brilliant :sarcasm:
They fixed the bug, THEN removed Fatal Wound’s ability to receive Liberated Will’s damage bonus?
I mean, it’s possible the second one was a last minute change. Because lolKOG.
This isn’t a balance, motive: the real broken crap got buffed on enchanced skill tab. Let make annoying crap even worse, I mean they even buffed BM and Cr bullshit passive that makes so that you can’t attack their backs… How people even try to say that KoG cares? They don’t know their own game. Hope someone that love this game actually point out that people loved when pvp had a skill involved not the kill in a single 100 mp. What they forgot is that most people that quitted was when even classes that required a little skill to play, got to a point where they are god tier. We want fun not being able to win without doing anything.
The Skill Tree Revamp and Rose’s reveal are the two moments which caused the most ragequits. Add is actually what helped stabilize the game by bringing in new players after the ST Revamp royally pissed everyone off. (Unless you were VP or WS who came out unscathed, or NW who got buffed.)
Add isn’t killing the game. He’s been keeping it alive by drawing in new players to replace all the players that left after the ST Revamp.
Are the b-slots and fetch auras perm??
“[Cobo] B-Slot (30days)”
“[Cobo] Holy Night Fairy Merhem (30 days)”
What do you think?
What new director? Link now plz
The changes do prove effort but i do think a few of the significant issues have been left out like wind effecting frame rate or roses poor hitstun as well as ridiculously low KD.
And it’s too little too late.
They only admitted fields and the ST Revamp were a mistake years after the damage has been done.
Hey guys. Remember Aima? KOG’s other game?
You know, the one they just added Ronan to in order to get Grand Chase players?
…..The one they killed Grand Chase for?
Well, guess what everyone? AIMA IS SHUTTING DOWN!
http://mmoculture.com/2016/10/aima-nexon-korea-is-shutting-down-action-mmorpg-after-14-months/
(Ignore the part about it being highly anticipated. That’s a flat out lie.)
It lasted 14 months. That’s pretty surprising, actually.
So guess what? Elsword is now KOG’s last game!
…..And it’s about to fall off of Gamemeca’s rankings. (They only track the top 50. Elsword is #48 right now.)
…..And one of, if not, THE most popular Elsword YouTuber just announced he quit Elsword for Closers.
Man, things are just looking up for KOG~.
So Elsword shutdown notice when? This or next year?
aw crap, I used the wrong reply button.
I’m sticking to my projection of the game having two years left at the most.
i think they have a racing game?
Yeah, but it’s only got a publisher in Taiwan and you know it’s not going to last very long. Just more money KOG wasted on another game no one wanted.
HeroWarz.
What I don’t understand is why people are giving this new director so much credit.
Do you honestly think he can accomplish this as soon as he got into the position? Do you understand how much revising revising planning it takes to make a simple patch? This was all preplanned way before he got his new position.
But moving on, what I’m more mad about is that they are fixing these small, and minor bugs but what about nerfing characters passives, their base stats, how about nerfing mp costs and cooldowns on skills. How about nerfing damage and limiting hear levels in PvP? How about instead of worrying about how buggy WS’s kicks are, how about nerfing the absurd speed she has, or the healing. Instead of worrying about ravens skills not working the way they should, how about noticing how Raven can evaporate HP and how he has some really big hitboxes for NO reason at all. How about instead of worrying about Aisha’s overflowing mana bug, let’s talk about all the MP that she can get in 10 seconds and how many skills she can dish out in 1 frame.
But no, we are too brainwashed by the “new director” and his many small achievements.
how about noticing how Raven can evaporate HP
So can everyone else.
Whoever catches first wins. Thus is the law of +12 Land!
Yeah but not everyone has+ 12 or even +11. The average is +9
if the creators of elsword create a new character, it, saying as a suggestion, should be a fist fighter. and i hope i am not being racial but i would believe it would be a black character. a black guy character.
I’ve been hoping for a black character in this game for so long, I feel so out of place playing all these other characters.
I’d main the shit out of him just to make me feel welcomed.
Why day 14 ? i click the right button mouse ? and ??? don’t see anything happen
