[Item]
1. [0-won] Mini Crystal auto delete date extended to 2016 12 29 09AM
Minor Ain fixes. Does nothing about his knockdown reduce. Does nothing about his hit confirm. Does nothing about his knockdown recovery bug (is it a bug?).
Weapon avatar sounds nice. Sage scrolls sounds nice too. Helps with leveling my 80+ characters.
Why won’t damage customizations become perm?
Don’t expect much from 9th anniversary events after that 0 k-ching event.
Still awake at 1 in the morning studying for tests.
Still no VP buff.
If they purposedly took his weaknesses out he’d be way more overpowered, and he’s already strong enough
is it really a weakness as opposed to a bug? i don’t think any character should be fumbling commands for no reason due to bad confirms. though some of his other stuff does need to get toned down. but allowing his basic attacks to have a natural fail rate is pretty bad. at least they did something about ciel’s when his were messed up, so i’d like to see ain’s get fixed too
no it’s not a bug if you realized he has an extremely fast recovery rate to replace it so he can go back into comboing
After more testing, VP does not need buffs. Her PvE after the 300 MP is fine and quite honestly her playstyle turned complete dirtbag after people figured out how to use her. Until PvP is completely out of ERS, she can’t be buffed.
To explain her problem, DOES SHE EVER RUN OUT OF MANA? It’s like you HAVE to pressure her like Storm Trooper or she’ll just okizeme you forever and ever. Whereas EM was balanced around having a ton of MP and blowing it all off to do literally ANYTHING, VP only has to remain a slight distance away for 80 MP (less with ERS MP consumption) catches, and when combined with memorize, will give her access to Ruin for an extremely cheap cost (and is yet another oki). Then there’s her ability to refund 90% of the cost, leading to situations where she’ll have her trans 100 MP up for the 50th time.
Sure, if you pressure her and play something with honestly unbalanced amounts of movement speed (BM/GrM), then she’s easy pickings. Otherwise you better be good at pressuring her.
I really hope you don’t think VP’s transcendence 100 MP is actually good in PvP, because it feeds so much MP and Awakening to someone with proper stats that the VP probably benefits less from it than the person getting hit in many/most matchups.
Welcome to CBS’ world My friend.
Because they dont know Ain is broken yet. they are taking feedback from KR players and all of them are crying the same song “Ain is really hard to play”, “he is the most balanced character releases since Ara”, “he need buffs”. KOG give no shit to NA players and what we know, they only listen to KR peeps. All we can do is hope our yellow skinned friends would just stop dancing with their keyboards and look at Ain for a second.
Hm, interesting events and items, any chance to get the pics of them soon 2na?
per account or per server?
Really? No 2nd job for him? I just hope that he won’t get the Ara treatment…
And what’s that carol speaker thingy?
They can’t afford to give him the Ara treatment. He’s the only thing (That matters.) they have this winter since Elysion is, according to them, the final area.
…..That doesn’t mean they WON’T give him the Ara treatment, however. If KOG were competent, they never would have given Ara the Ara treatment in the first place.
…..But let’s not focus on that dark chapter of the game’s past right now. Today is Ara’s birthday.
“Elysion is, according to them, the final area.”
But there’s still some space on the Elsword’s map so they can technically make another town (or 2..), esp since 90-99 lvl range feels kinda empty…
Yeah, but they threw all that remaining space left in Elrios out the window and sent us to another dimension instead.
And not even the demon realm, which we should be launching a counterattack on. I mean, it makes sense, right? We spend the game fighting demons in Elrios, we should go to their world and neutralize the threat once and for all. (Better yet, going through that portal in Velder and taking it back from the demons in the process.) But instead, Solace is suddenly the bad guy….. then suddenly he isn’t the bad guy.
Except THEY ALREADY BEAT SCAR AND SEALED THE DEMON GOD!!!
actually, endgame is onto something (and I thought the same thing)
they did a side dungeon about add…. who’s to say that they can’t add more side areas…
not to mention, good luck getting past lv200 in el res… they’ll eventually add some content to make the grind easier (or restructure it’s exp table) if they’re smart…
granted the main story is practically finished, but side stories can still be a thing. we still have quite a bit left unsolved (like what the hell happened to ran and if rose’s mission was ever completed)
He does have a 2nd job through, unless you’re talking about a second job path but…
Dude, he’s been out for a week. They aren’t gonna speed through all his job paths. They have to space out content updates.
There was a 3 month gap between Add getting LP and MM. A 3 month gap before Elesis got her 2nd jobs after getting 1st, a month between Lu/Ciel’s 1st and 2nd. 1 month gaps between all of Rose’s paths.
So give it like 1-3 months and we’ll probably have his 2nd path by then.
Still need his Transcendence, which I think we might see soon given the data for the skill is already in the game’s files.
But Chung and Elesis had their first 2 jobs out at once, even if it were only 1st jobs, and tbh that would be better than just releasing 1 almost full path that is boring af by the way…
Yes and Ain got the 1st and 2nd job for his 1st path. It is the trade off.
Oooh more custom damage. :3c
And the moment of truth is here:
http://www.gamemeca.com/popup/ranking.php?scode=O&rid=1084
Ain (and/or the lolinfinite ice burner works event) saved Elsword and pushed it back into the top 20.
…..The same week last year, it just climbed up 7 ranks to 25 because holy shit, the Koreans were pissed about Rose. And then it kept on falling from there.
However, if there’s a sharp decline next week….. it’ll probably be a really bad sign. (And proof that it was just the infinite ice burner works event.)
Everyone in EVERY server was pissed about rose.
Not quite. The Koreans were pissed about her as soon as they revealed her while the cocksuckers on the NA forums were laughing at the Koreans and saying they don’t know how good they have it and shit like that. They were hyped for Rose.
It wasn’t until after they had to deal with the logical implementation of a full time gunner character in Elsword (Remember, even DC does a lot of melee.) and they realized how broken she was (Read: she outranges their precious Add and snipes at him instead of charging right towards him, the playstyle Add hardcounters.) that they decided they hate her.
…..And KOG will never nerf her because they only listen to the Korean players who refuse to touch her~.
No the general consensus on the NA forum was still that she was kind of dumb and a waste of a character. Then later people got interested.
Also she did get a fair number of nerfs. Heck they completely gutted two of CrR’s stacking passives making it borderline impossible to build more than just a few stacks. Given she is still powerful, but those two nerfs did know her down a few power levels.
Mm, the collab didn’t work work well in KR (that’s a given…) but when she was released in NA, she was welcomed with open arms, something new to play and complain about, nothing new about that when it comes to els to be honest.
You can’t have everything your way, there will never be a perfect balance between all characters (don’t recall a game that had the ideal balance and if they did, screwed it up down the track to change the balance…) and people will be hyped before a new release and then complain about it after the release. That’s just the normal cycle of els.
Sad people don’t play the game for fun…oh well.
quite frankly, regardless of what the rankings say for KR, does that matter to NA players?
as someone said, they HATED rose in KR, but loved her in NA…
personally, damn the rankings and either play the game if you want, or quit if you think it’s not worth it
I don’t mean to sound harsh, but rankings and ratings have always been biased as hell (usually, cause we can all agree sonic 06 sucks, even though the glitches were funny as hell).
people need to learn to go by their own opinion at times
“quite frankly, regardless of what the rankings say for KR, does that matter to NA players?”
KR welfare do matter to NA, but the opposite is not true.
If KR closes, do you expect KoG to continue update non-KR sv?
On the other hand, KR can move on even all non-KR closes.
See other MMORPG then you can see many examples.
It is not pure coincidence why NA is thought to be self-centered, elitist and struck up lol
NA ppl like you posted like Elsword mother sv is not NA but KR. I hope no KR come to read your comment or they might be pissed.
Not really. My main is aisha. But i like rose
Haha
derp me. I was replying to Malle
TBH, Ain is pretty boring. Interest in him won’t last long. I doubt Nexon will pull the plug just because Ain fails though. :/
You shouldn’t put much stock in websites that do weekly rankings. Monthly rankings give you a much better picture.
Ain’s failure would have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.
As in, KOG has a whole chain of failures lined up. Including an entire new game that cost Nexon money to host and advertise that barely made it past one year before shutting down. Nexon cannot be too happy with them right about now.
And even though Ain was a successful character release, KOG cannot afford to piss off the Korean playerbase again. One more incident like the ST Revamp or Rose…..
Am I the only one who didn’t mind the ST revamp? or Rose?
I just enjoy watching others rage over something more than what they’re raging over.
Well clearly enough people stuck around after the ST Revamp to sustain the game long enough for Add to come along and replace the people who left.
Still, it was big enough a disaster that KOG ended up admitting it was a mistake and did away with it….. two years later.
That christmas event, one-shot people.
IKR, the gimmick is the one holding the bag will be one shotted by any snowball either thrown or random rolling about. So the other player will have to either kill all phorus or use their body to block the snowballs.
With a CBS and her global homing needles, you can clear it easily.
and yet you can enter the event dungeon with a level 10 to only get one shot killed…
Well this event went done like a sack of rocks!
Going to focus on leveling the Ain’s to get the free stuff.
The christmas event is kinda fun. i guess the best character to do it is elesis or elsword with their red aura. about VP buff i know i’ve been asking for it but lately i seen than she is really op already. Millions skill feeds too much mp still if you know how to cast it you’re able to abuse of it freeze delay time without the skill hitting but still useful for catch. also her cloud and death field has a big % of dmg. if she ever gets an buff i wont complain but i’d rather like she does not. so people won’t be calling vp an brain dead char just like ara or rose
VP for Pve is really good. her HA, Cutter, Helldrop, Abysmal that plus gust storm deals a good amount of dmg
