Here are collection of information that were revealed from this live event meet:
-Gate of Darkness revamp planned for this year
-Choice Skill Tree Revamp removed this summer. Introducing Skill gain/Enhance system, Balance patch planned as well.
-Balance patch will be based on ‘how many players play this character’
-No plans to re-introduce party list system, Random matching was introduced to reduce players getting left out.( and matching rate have actually increased since then)
-Still debating on Party benefits and boot system
-Preparing solo player advantages, solo play ranking system, solo play specific dungeons planned
-Story revamp planned. Changed so there are lots of shocking developments
-They don’t think inflation is because of lack of ED sinks.
-In worst case, developers have to intervene with game economy and they don’t want to.
-Crayon-Pop collaboration was asked by them not Elsword. It’s good profit.
-But they know about lots of negative opinions on Crayon-Pop collaboration so they will think about it on next collaboration event.
-Add nendoroid figure not planned for sale, will be just given out for events
-They didn’t know T&S scroll was untradeable. They will change it so it’s tradeable. Identification option revamp is in process.
-Account storage, Hacking restoration support before Summer.
-Aisha, Raven, Rena performance&visual renewal planned within this year
-Preparing evidence to punish ‘PvP Attacker'(ex엘프리스마을). Refused question on preventing the attack.
-Preparing many ways to obtain limited avatars. (Also added they make most of their money from ‘Limited avatars’)
-They are not separating PvE/PvP skill functions because they can’t. There are skills that has PvP modifiers. The reason they won’t separate them more clearly is because they don’t want players to learn two different informations that arise from separating PvP/PvE skill functions .
-Planned to release title similar to ‘Reaper’. ‘Reaper’ title not planned to be obtainable in the future.
-No plans for new character at the moment.
-goal when making ‘LuCiel’s’ was to make perfect character but they think it’s not the case right now.
-LuCiel 3rd line class and Skill Notes for characters that don’t have them yet will come out within this month.
-Reason they stopped selling Magic Necklace(old) is because it breaks balance. They didn’t think it would still be in circulation up to this point. They realize the seriousness of this item they think it’s not only a serious problem in Ereda, but in pvp and dungeons as well. Since it’s a serious business, they said they have to make an important decision(Since it’s a cash item). After finishing to deal with the old Magic Necklace, they will give compensations. Old Magic Necklace treatment planned before next season.
※ Personal stuff on Kwon Ohdang team leader
Entered KOG on 2008. He planned Chung update and likes him very much. His main Character is Lord Knight.
He looks around communities broadly, most places he looks is official website’s free board.
He only gets summarized details that suggestion board admins send him.
Grand Chase end of service confirmed(Date unknown)
Character that has the most level cap is Add. Character that has the most population is Elsword.
I wonder what they’re gonna do with skills now.
now we just need endgame to complain about something and we’re all set
lol you are a genius

Well, either this man at least has the decency to not make his class utterly broken, he’s a ****ing idiot that can’t do anything right, or he’s lying to avoid accusations of class favorism.
…..Sure he didn’t say “Grand Master”?
And lol at Elbrat not getting revamps because “he is the character with the biggest population” when he’s the one who needs them the most.
…..Especially because of Elesue’s hijacking of the game.
Is he really the character with the biggest population? I thought Elesis curbstomped him on all servers by now?
All that statement really said is that more people made Elsword characters than anyone else. They’re most likely mostly low level alts and/or abandoned characters since there’s a good chance many people who main him have quit the game after a certain sister showed up and rendered him obsolete. If not, before that. (The ST Revamp hit RS really hard.) Not to mention he’s been in the game since day one as the sole male representative for the players still in their “girls are icky!” phase.
They also said there are more capped Adds than anyone else. Which I think also says something about who is still playing the game. As in, the players who played the older characters are the older players who have quit the game, (Likely jumping ship for Closers) and now the population consists of newer players who prefer Add’s mindless button mashing combos and auto-aim skills, LIKE mounts, etc.
Endgame you are so insightful
I honestly didn’t know what to think of this at all.
“Girls are icky” phase….omg hilarious
So we gonna get to see LuCiel third job within this month? Stoy revamped? so they finally decided to change or improve it. “-In worst case, developers have to intervene with game economy and they don’t want to.” <— This very line here, NA and EU server are the one need the most(don't play EU so don't know but they said it worse than NA)
YES! Lu/Ciel 3rd job already!!! Sweetness! Can’t wait to see what they do. Are they going to do the same as Chiliarch/Dread Lord where Lu changes first then Ciel? Or will they do it like Noblesse/Royal Guard where Ciel changes first then Lu? Or will they give BOTH characters TWO job changes where they change at the same time? Or perhaps they’ll make it to where you can CHOOSE which character job changes first?
Oh, so like you decide which skills you get first?
Believe it or not, I can actually see that happening.
I feel sorry for the game maker. He had a lot to deal with. I think it is good that they are using this year as a “clean up” year. I feel like they are about too make this game better than ever. GL Ohdang. I have hopes. Also make ciel have long hair like Gai from guilty crown. Make lu have big breasts and brazzer booty. Omg. I want her hair like it was on the luciel release when it showed lu as a written with a sword and karis on the background. Omg please let shit hey good.
Yes. Like omg that would be amazing.
Actually i was thinking third path would have both them job change at level 15 and then they will both job change again at 35. That would be yes. Or the combine chillarch and royal guard as the first job change and then Noblesse and dreadlord as the second job change
no, don’t do that to my mp necklace……..
“goal when making ‘LuCiel’s’ was to make perfect character but they think it’s not the case right now.”
I think they finally noticed LuCiel is weak as fuck in every aspect, finally KoG revamp my LuCiel pls.
I’m literally weaker when compared to every other class. -_-
“-Balance patch will be based on ‘how many players play this character’”
R.I.P add, i hope he gets a nerf for once same for elesis..
“LuCiel 3rd line class and Skill Notes for characters that don’t have them yet will come out within this month.”
About time for skill notes for fucks sake since like EVERY class has them except luciel and add barely has any at all. And third job? Give me job change ticket for free PLS KOG PLS. (They will probably give it for free anyways when they balance out classes to keep the player base intact as usual.)
Hopefully third job won’t be trash, i’d also like to see Lu go into her full form. >:(
“-Story revamp planned. Changed so there are lots of shocking developments”
And alot of bricks where shat on this very day, about fucking time, also give Elsword the spotlight, not fucking elesis ELSWORD is the main character not that skanky ass hoe (No offense to elesis users)! :D
“-Gate of Darkness revamp planned for this year”
YAY FINALLY, I LOVE GoD, They better make this revamp good, i don’t really like the current GoD. :/
“-Aisha, Raven, Rena performance&visual renewal planned within this year”
I’m glad for Raven but seriously aisha….. Shes like so fucking cancer right now, the only class i respect from aisha is DW and maybe VP but EM is like the number one class who dominates PvP atm in ElsKR… And rena idk, maybe KoG should consider not giving a BOWMAN so many fucking defense passives i guess i’m fine with rena though. QwQ
“-Account storage, Hacking restoration support before Summer.”
HOLY FUCK, ACCOUNT STORAGE. ABOUT TIME KR VERSION FINALLY GETS IT SINCE OTHER VERSIONS HAVE IT ALREADY.
“-Choice Skill Tree Revamp removed this summer. Introducing Skill gain/Enhance system, Balance patch planned as well.”
I see alot of classes getting nerfed. Goodbye add, goodbye EM, goodbye elesis, goodbye o’p fuckers.
“-Planned to release title similar to ‘Reaper’. ‘Reaper’ title not planned to be obtainable in the future.”
Let the no-life gaming begin!
“-No plans for new character at the moment.”
Meh, it’ll come sooner or later.
R.I.P add, i hope he gets a nerf for once same for elesis..
Add gets nerfed all the time. (Not that it stops the whining.)
Elesis on the other hand….. will never get any real nerfs. And even when they do nerf something about her, they buff another aspect at the same time to make it even stronger. (See: Condemnation losing the MP cost reduction for Stoic – Strong only to hit much harder. Fire Stigma losing the Silence debuff only to get a massive explosion damage boost.)
The only add i respect atm is mastermind, hes actually balanced imo.
But LP? Conquerer > 100k+ DMG “Nerfed”
Quake Buster? 30K+DMG “Nerfed”
Diabolic Esper? Hes been nerfed a few times yet he is still seriously strong.
Mastermind can’t run anymore and needs to fight in order to regen mana from drones.
Also we whine because the nerfs aren’t hard enough EndGame, Add is still really strong.
Particle Accel does 70,000DMG
my bad, does around like 70,000DMG to me**
Break that skanky ass hoe part was gold. But they should probably make a storyline website constitution avenger fights the third path of Lu cause she was a demon queen around the time elesis was defeated y demons and was forced to undergo changes. That battle should finish the storyline! Bit before that…we all saw that demon hand on lanox clear video. I picture all third paths coming together and ending the Demon world. I’m pretty sure that hand was the new demon king who won the competition. (When lu and the other demons fought for the dead demon kings throne. Go back and read story) but yeah one can dream. Next year….incoming finale and Elsword2!
Also the game is called Elsword so i feel like Elsword will rule. Incoming 4th path….Destiny class change
Yeah I don’t think we’ll be seeing any third paths in clear videos.
Or second paths.
The clear videos seem to only use the ‘traditional’ job changes.
Actually i fear the luciel 3rd path. At first ara was supposed to be perfect (I’m my opinion she still is) then they tried with elesis and she was descent…then came add…will were know how that ended. Then came lu….well she’s Ida not bad but not good so i think they are gonna go for the gold this time…lu will become superior to elesis. That’s what they are planning…think about it…all these new towns and systems and maintenance. Even the hint o that lu has 2 manga pools! This is all for the crowning of our new king and queen of Elsword! Lu and Ciel! We got all these updates on par with the lu release…c’mon Elsword let’s get this right. And this time make sure Elsword gets the spotlight not his big sis. I’ll pray for you
Another new skill tree change I both interested and scared at the same time
I have few ideas/guesses about what they may do to the skill tree but I am gonna avoid speculating atm
Oh and KoG I don’t care what you do but just buff CN, make her stupid OP plz pretty plz
I will suck your unmentionables KoG plz
“Introducing Skill gain/Enhance system”
I’m actually scared they will make even worse skill tree than the current one.
inorite?
-Balance patch will be based on ‘how many players play this character’
>>>LOL KoG
-Preparing solo player advantages, solo play ranking system, solo play specific dungeons planned
>>>Bots* & hackers benefit
-Crayon-Pop collaboration was asked by them not Elsword. It’s good profit.
>>>asking NA when
-Add nendoroid figure not planned for sale, will be just given out for events
>>>who cares… Eve side pillow where2buy…
-Aisha, Raven, Rena performance&visual renewal planned within this year
>>>pvp balance >>we want to learn, we don’t want you to don’t let us learn
-Planned to release title similar to ‘Reaper’. ‘Reaper’ title not planned to be obtainable in the future.
>>>then remove reaper for???
-No plans for new character at the moment
>>>don’t need it at the start. need more classes & skills
-Reason they stopped selling Magic Necklace(old) is because it breaks balance
>>>KoG stop saying word balance pls
Character that has the most population is Elsword.
>>> did they count bots?
Am I the only one who actually looks forward to the Aisha and Rena renewal?
Raven I won’t have much problem with as I don’t use him much anyway, but Nature’s Force and Memorize seriously mess me up!
skill tree revamp -> new skill ring -> ??? -> profit
and tbh reaper title is more op than old magic necklace
So no more magic necklace? Are they getting a new one? Is this skill tree going to be 3 skills instead of 2? will they make you pay so you can pick more than one?
I have a 100% doubt they’ll make you pay, for the KR version atleast. Unsure about NA and other versions. o3o
Pretty sure it would be fucking stupid if they made you pay imo.
Only time will tell though. :v
What if the new skill system means you have to quest and train for each skill. Or you know, have to buy it for like $3-5 each.
“-Balance patch will be based on ‘how many players play this character’”
Nemesis system reboot coming up people.
Balance done Based on how many players play that character?
Lezsee, who comes to mind first?
hm…someone with lag-botched spears, slower dash speed comapared to its other chara classes, and weak skills overall? Oh, right, poor Code Nemesis.
LuCiel 3rd job and speculation on LuCiel’s assumed but wrong Perfection power? Yes plz, about time, X finishing shot direction change does not count as real combo for a Noblesse dammit.
These sound too good to be true.
What I mean by that is KoG will mess it up somehow. I bet the current skill tree will be better than the newest one.
They might add a pay wall, they might make it so skills require you to quest to upgrade, or pay a tiny fee. They might make it so getting skills and enhancing them will be limited and they will try to promote some kind of SP booster like the ones we have now, but for more SP over a longer period of time for lots of money. We don’t know what they will do. All we can do is wait or rely on Endgame to rant about it.
Maybe they’ll copy Mabinogi/Vindictus’ AP system and let people buy AP/SP in the cash shop for more pay2win PVP shenanegans.
Good luck beating that CA with all +10 gear AND every skill maxed out while you still have to farm for months to get all your relevant skills maxed…..
And maybe they will focus only on cosmetics after the update and not do the next area until Christmas or next year.
On pvp, ring of fury is waaayyy broken item for very easy catch…
-They are not separating PvE/PvP skill functions because they can’t. There are skills that has PvP modifiers. The reason they won’t separate them more clearly is because they don’t want players to learn two different informations that arise from separating PvP/PvE skill functions .
Are you seriously kidding me?…. “because they can’t”? there are so many games out there that even have a totally new description just for PvP purposes, and they say they can’t?, something as simple as the player himself having to read and remember something he uses/needs, as his bread and butter… i mean come on.
That is totally so freaking stupid if ya ask me… because that is totally up to the player even to have to “learn” new information which if he so likes, he won’t have to. And to be honest this is one of the biggest reasons why some skills get nerfed. because they won’t separate PvE from PvP… Jesus Christ… these kind of things never fail to amaze me of how lame stuff can go and/or get, just out of pure lazyness, because i believe they can do it but noooooo.

sry for the re-type
uhhh…. i hope these changes make the game better. Cz in pvp – its unbalanced pve – its content are limited and features are too few. story – its too bland and boring. characters- unbalanced. combat – its too limited, players make it a little bit better by making original combos.
i hope they change the shitty design on ST , and VC from raven. And i hope they make the skill/combo system good
-Gate of Darkness revamp planned for this year
>how will they make it more unfun, I wonder.
-Choice Skill Tree Revamp removed this summer. Introducing Skill gain/Enhance system, Balance patch planned as well.
>on one hand, acknowledging that the X or Y thing SUCKS
>on the other hand, whatever they do next will probably suck MORE
>apparently not realizing that repeated reworks of core mechanics don’t inspire customer confidence
-Balance patch will be based on ‘how many players play this character’
>I wonder if it’ll be as ineptly done as what happened when they introduced the “PICK ONE” nonsense
>then again, within a month or so they’ll probably do something else stupid that invalidates it, like the last time they revamped characters based on playerbase opinions
-No plans to re-introduce party list system, Random matching was introduced to reduce players getting left out.( and matching rate have actually increased since then)
>too stupid to acknowledge that the queue thing is badly thought out, probably never going to fix it’s love of having you wait three minutes in a queue with seven other people only to try to send you off solo
-Still debating on Party benefits and boot system
>never going to do anything inteligent with this
-Preparing solo player advantages, solo play ranking system, solo play specific dungeons planned
>I’ll believe it when I see it, given how much they’ve done in the past several years to fuck over soloists
-Story revamp planned. Changed so there are lots of shocking developments
>I wonder how much more ass-pull filled it’ll be. and if they’ll STILL keep to being lazy and having everyone take the “white” classpaths even when other options make more sense… and I’m sure they won’t de-continuitysnarl everything about el-sister not going GrM.
-They don’t think inflation is because of lack of ED sinks.
>because they’re fucking stupid and do not understand that money doesn’t evaporate on it’s own. high level people will always be getting more money if they keep playing, and will always price things they sell based on the income level they have because they ALL forget what it’s like to not be funded.
>this doubles as “fuck you, foreigners, we’re never going to give you equal treatment to our glorious korean citizen master race” shit
-In worst case, developers have to intervene with game economy and they don’t want to.
>no dev ever wants to fix the problems that require the most effort and most public relations work.
-Crayon-Pop collaboration was asked by them not Elsword. It’s good profit.
>thinking with a $_$ face
-But they know about lots of negative opinions on Crayon-Pop collaboration so they will think about it on next collaboration event.
>but apparently smart enough to think twice for once
-Add nendoroid figure not planned for sale, will be just given out for events
>securing actual production might require spending money, oh no.
-They didn’t know T&S scroll was untradeable. They will change it so it’s tradeable. Identification option revamp is in process.
> hm?
-Account storage, Hacking restoration support before Summer.
>things that should get done sooner than later…
-Aisha, Raven, Rena performance&visual renewal planned within this year
>ugh, how are you going to punish me for favoring rena this time?
-Preparing evidence to punish ‘PvP Attacker’(ex엘프리스마을). Refused question on preventing the attack.
>well yeah, standard management practice is to do stuff after a problem instead of preventing problems.
-Preparing many ways to obtain limited avatars. (Also added they make most of their money from ‘Limited avatars’)
>give us your money, plebians.
-They are not separating PvE/PvP skill functions because they can’t. There are skills that has PvP modifiers. The reason they won’t separate them more clearly is because they don’t want players to learn two different informations that arise from separating PvP/PvE skill functions .
>that is a gigantic load of bullshit. they’re just too fucking lazy to actually do the work, and would rather maintain the status quo of fucking PvE players for the PvP shit that’s garbage no matter what they do.
-Planned to release title similar to ‘Reaper’. ‘Reaper’ title not planned to be obtainable in the future.
>meh. whatever it is will probably still be cheapshit and require making you want to stab your eyes out.
-No plans for new character at the moment.
>JUST. FUCKING. MAKE. CHLOE. PLAYABLE.
-goal when making ‘LuCiel’s’ was to make perfect character but they think it’s not the case right now.
>as the french school system maintains, nobody’s perfect. get over it.
-LuCiel 3rd line class and Skill Notes for characters that don’t have them yet will come out within this month.
>but will it blend? what you should do is stop trying to treat their promotes like everyone else’s; having fixed sets is fine, but the second character to promote shouldn’t get gimped because other characters’ second promotes get shorted on new moves/skills.
-Reason they stopped selling Magic Necklace(old) is because it breaks balance. They didn’t think it would still be in circulation up to this point.

>there’s so much to say about the stupidity here.
1) yes, those were imba, but so is most everything you throw at players after belder
2) you’re completely fucking stupid if you thought people were going to throw away something that helpful just because time passed. timed items suck, permanent items that have no alternative choice for the same worth do not get discarded.
3) OF COURSE a thing that’s good in PvE impacts competetive shit negatively. this is why competetive and noncompetetive content shouldn’t run on the same rules. but you’re too fucking lazy to fix that.
4) and so you’re probably going to just rip people off by deleting those items. that’s better than the PR issues fixing the broken economy HOW?
so yeah.
Hey that is Endgame’s job to rant about whatever they do!
Sssh he might hear you
balance my ass..
Have u ever duel using not an overgeared equipment nor title using a pathetic-weak-low-tier char against easy-to-use-char-even-a-troll-can-play-it char ? Now lets change that torll player with player which is equal to you at least..
RIPElswordPvp
I went on a crusade to destroy Elesis with my DW with a +8 Transcendant staff, +7 Grendized Dragonic gear, Reaper, the full Darkened Wyvern accessory set, 61% crit chance, etc. About as geared as you can get without resorting to pay2win.
…..Whenever I caught them, I took out around a sixth of their health. (Or less if the GMs were smart enough to take Knight’s Destiny.)
Whenever GM caught me, (Most BH players just plain sucked.) I lost AT LEAST a third. (This one GM I fought with a +9 weapon was the only player to kill me in two combos. And he was using Heavy Stunner instead of Power Break which would have hurt so much more. Thank Arceus I’ve never faced a +10 weapon GM….) And keep in mind I had Mana Shield, 24% Red Damage, and +7 grendized level 70 armor. I literally tanked lower damage output classes like all three Chungs (This was before the revamp that buffed them) and BM for MP. But Elesis? If she caught me, my HP went bye bye. Even the lower geared and the sublevel 70 ones.
…..But if I went around on a GM with lesser gear, I would be slaughtering non-Elesises left and right. And even most of the other Elesises since most of them don’t know how to play and I still won most matches against them anyway. (Leap over Mega Slash? lol)
Even the bottom tier classes with good gear get outclassed by better classes with average gear. That’s how ****ed up this situation is.
And someone on the Void forums went over how you can stack various set bonuses and Spendor titles to get 19+% physical/magic attack as of the latest update, which needless to say, certain characters get MUCH more mileage out of that than others…..
I was just thinking similarly the other day. Glad to have come across your site
