  • Keeping making stupid decisions KOG. says:

    I guess this is the last year I’m going to bother crafting a secret dungeon set.
    Thanks KOG!

    • JohnRed-Hat says:

      Content’s not even in the game yet and you’re already whining.
      Thanks player-base!

      • Keeping making stupid decisions KOG. says:

        @JohnRed-Hat
        Aye, dipshit, there is a such thing called “common sense”.
        You don’t have to see the content implemented to know it’s a fucking bad idea.
        Just like you don’t personally have to know a person to know they’re a fucking idiot. Get it, idiot?
        Reading is all it takes if you have any type of inferring skills.

        So, yes, I am fucking whining. Because I know what to expect. I’ve been with KOG for over a decade. I know them inside out. SO fucking bite me, ass wipe.

    • Siegflan says:

      SD set is mostly for armor + acc 5 set effect.

      So will still craft the new ones
      or exchange the old ones if possible

    • UNub says:

      What is with you casuals not wanting to work for a decent piece of gear? DFO’s grind is already over 60x worse than Elsword’s (and that much more rewarding when you succeed). Do you guys just want to be spoonfed for your gear or something?

  • Unholy says:

    This’ just in people, Secret Dungeons finally died in Elsword, let’s all Henir.
    As for the players in NA…. farm all the luto pass as you can, get 1000 or more of all 6 coins, make as much gears as you can and never come back in SD again.

  • Siegflan says:

    =.=
    daily entrance to SD changes?
    Wow talk about making me lazier to log in..
    Time to gather all those coins first… fck that makes me so lazy

  • Suspect says:

    You just fucked up SD sets, KoG.

    gg.

  • DarklessLocked says:

    Ahahaha. AHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA
    So when’s Closers EN and soulworker Eu coming out?

    • Endgame says:

      I would expect that Closers NA will begin at the very least CBT before the end of the year, given how quick they’ve been to start announcing other versions. And although we know Soul Worker already has a NA publisher, it’s Gameforge. Soooooo….. no idea how well that’s going to work out.

      …..Eh, better Gameforge than KOG NA~.

      • MagicSpice says:

        yeah, i’m looking forward to Closers more now…

        this patch is gonna fuck up my setup with the raid weapon (which I can get to legend). more so, my raid staff is +10…. I don’t think i’m getting that back considering NA isn’t spoonfed ammies like KR…

        but nice job KOG, not only is this SD revamp too early (it should be at lv90, not 85), but you also fucked up when we can do SDs, and how the sets work (6 piece effect, so if you want it… RIP raid weapon).

        this really looks like they’re trying to end this game at lv85 just like Grand Chase…. cause we honestly should have BEEN gotten more stages past atlas… cause atlas for elysion is just like ruben for elrios… THE FIRST AREA….

  • Raveology says:

    Screw you KOG, just shut down the korean version already, you are making this game worse and worse each year.

  • Last April says:

    Time to uninstall your elsword dude

  • Essa says:

    you guys can’t sit down and see how it’s turned can you?

  • Rokujou says:

    First, Hero Mode. Now, Secret Dungeons are getting hit with RNG. This is becoming a pattern.

    Still, it’s good that they’re planning to unify all the items. My inventory can finally be free again

  • Saito says:

    Where can I find the new SD set’s effect? I hope they don’t remove the 4-x effect because I haven’t had the chance to farm 4-x in KR

  • FundMeDaddis says:

    So are you guys going to instantly complain about changes in elsword without even seeing them? Because its not like SD sets are even that hard to craft in the first place. Its free to play for a reason you’re expected to grind for crap calm down.

    Spoiled player base wants to be spoiled more.

    Rng is a
    bit annoying in elsword though not gonna lie

    But its always annoying when you don’t get what you want right : ^ ) ?

    • some1 is more annoying than Endgame says:

      Then why NA are always so salty about what KR being spoiled???
      If you love to get it in hard way, then you don’t have to constantly compare NA with KR.
      Please don’t use this incident to show your ugly, envious face. Ppl are smart enough to see through your facet.

      • FundMeDaddis says:

        Envious of what i was just saying don’t complain about pve ? like the only thing i’m envious about from KR is magic wardrobe and other than that the only thing i can say i envy about KR is the item mall costumes because i want all of the slugs :c. also how dare you say i’m ugly and envious all i did was marginalize an entire group of people.

        Also on a side note SD SETS AREN’T HARD TO MAKE JUST DO THE SD’S WITH THE FREE GEAR THEY KEEP GIVING US.

        • R.O.B. says:

          (NA player Talking) Tbh If it’s not the money spenders… it’s moreso the playerbase has been lazy for a long time… thanks to easy ass dungeons, and quick drops, on top of that it only took people a week to craft sets…. now that KOG has kind of set things up like Clash of Clans (wait times). People are indeed bitching because… well who wants to wait (honestly if you’ve played any mobile game….. or Raid Boss you should be used to it by now). To me it feels a little bit more rewarding and…. a little more worth the time to start playing dungeons… also Solo-ing dungeons i want will prolly be a bitch now.

          • MagicSpice says:

            while some players are indeed lazy, there are a lot of things that take more effort than they need to.

            granted you do need to put in a lot of time and effort for the strongest stuff, but MONTHS ON END FOR 1 PIECE is not cool, not when there’s 5 of them. only time this was justified was with the raid weapons, but even then that had a P2W aspect cause you’re not getting star unless you’re packing +11/+12, plus the fact that even w/o it, you could just buy enough amnesia tickets to say fuck it on scoring…

            SD sets are starting to look like they’ll go from a few weeks to make roughly the 2nd best sets in the game, to months….. due to the fact that there’s now gonna be only one we can do a day….

            so either they need to lower the item requirements, or make these sets practically on par with henir to make it worthwhile… but I bet they don’t….

  • Magdain says:

    To be honest i love the RNG, it makes more people do more dungeons, therefore more activity, and for me since I personally enjoy dungeons More Fun, also don’t bitch too hard, because you can turn OLD gear to NEW GEAR, so come on please and quit the whining. Also would expect socket loss, but it would not matter since they likely would not scale up anyways. Also unified item is Bank space Saved.

  • Malle says:

    There are so many things wrong with this, I don’t know where to begin….

    Secret Dungeon EXP gain
    – Before : Cannot obtain exp ⇒ After : Gain appropriate EXP based on character’s level
    So we are just going back to how it was originally….mk BS

    Secret Dungeon Entrance method changed
    – Only one out of all the secret dungeons is open for the day. Available secret dungeons change each day.

    – Order or available secret dungeons changes each week at Thursday 6AM
    Grand Chase much? Mk

    Secret dungeon entrance item changed
    – Before : Luto’s ticket ⇒ After : Secret Dungeon entrance permit

    * Entrance permits can be obtained from Lanox and Elysion dungeons

    * Luto’s tickets can be exchanged into Entrance Permits for a certain time frame.
    This is so pointless. Luto tickets were already ok. Why did they have to do this. Now people have to scramble to find all the Luto tickets they can get to exchange for this BS. RIP Board prices.

    Unified/Exchange Secret Dungeon related items
    – All of the area Coins are unified into [El Reward] item.

    – All of the area Stones and Materials are unified into [Barrier Shard] item.

    * Coins and stones can be exchanged into Barrier Shards for a certain time frame.
    Now this doesn’t piss me off, but makes me worry about how much more materials will be needed to craft gear….And on top of that, what are the exchange rates. 1:2 or 2:1 etc.

    Secret Dungeon related quest changed
    – Clear conditions of daily and weekly quest are changed

    – Current secret dungeon quests cannot be taken anymore

    * Quest that are already taken can be completed.
    No comment…yet.

    New Secret Dungeon gears
    – Equip level for Elite, Unique gears changed. New secret dungeon gears matching these equip levels are added.

    (Current Secret dungeon gears are not changed.)
    – 85lv Unique gear items are added and gets 6ea set effect.
    I originally thought this was just a gear level/stat upgrade, but idk.

    Secret Dungeon gear item & crafting method changed.
    – Current crafting method are changed as follows

    1) Elite gear : Obtained from secret dungeon drops
    > Elite crafting is removed and can be only obtained from Secret Dungeon drops
    > Can exchange ‘exchange items’ that drops from secret dungeons for each area’s Secret dungeon gears from town’s blacksmiths.
    2) Unique(Enhanced) Gear : Can be obtained from upgrading Elite gears
    > Upgraded by consuming Elite gear and material items
    3) Unique(Maximized) : Can be obtained from upgrading Unique(Enhanced) gears
    > Upgraded by consuming Unique(Enhanced) gear and material items
    Here is where the BS comes in. SO Elitie gear can only be obtained through boss drops…ok first off…RIP Permits, RIP Board Prices, RIP Patience, RIP Luck. Unique(enhanced) gear can be “Upgraded” aka Grendized from Elite gears…ok nothing pisses me off there. Unique(maximized)…..:( Ok so now I have to grind, upgrade, upgrade again and Im guessing Maximized is for a tighter damage range…mk gg FUCK OFF! So what this is saying is. Grind, Get Lucky, Buy More Permits, Grind more, Upgrade and then repeat the cycle.

    There comes a time when you officially just lose interest in a game. It’s about that time.

    Current Secret Dungeon Gear upgrade
    – Can upgrade current Secret Dungeon Gears into new lv.85(Unique(Maximized)) Secret Gears by consuming material items.
    So we just got fucked over. You randomly update us with a pointless new SD system then you want us to waste our time AGAIN and upgrade AGAIN and spending more Materials we know nothing about. Huh! :(((((((((( And then people like me with all the SD sets can just keep the good SD sets like Sand Blast, Hamel and Alterasia then Upgrade the rest of them sell em for OP board price. RIP Board. v_v mk.

    New Dual Magic Stone added & crafting
    – Current Dual Magic stones are removed and new Dual Magic stone items are added.– Each town alchemist’s Dual Magic Stone crafting lists changed into New Dual Magic Stone crafting lists.

    – New Dual Magic Stones can be crafted with ‘Barrier Shard’ and extra materials from alchemists.

    – Shining New Dual Magic Stones can be chance crafted with ‘El Reward’ and extra materials.
    No comment…yet.

    All in all. We just got ass raped without consent or lube.

  • Shirogane says:

    holy fucking shit stop complaining for a second, nowadays we’ve got hero dungeons which you can get secrets coins from and weekly secret dungeon quests which gives you coins too do you guys still think that is normal to be able to get so many sd coins at once? is really that bad to grind a little so we can get decent gear? that is what the game is about if you guys are talking so much shit about these changes that says that you really dont want to play elsword anymore and if that’s the case then stop fucking playing and stop talking shit just get out ffs

    • Malle says:

      Yes it’s really fucking bad to grind when all people who have been playing this game have been doing is trying to upgrade gear. Now that we have spent so much effort into upgrading new level 80 gears +9,10,11,12ing our gear, now we have to go back REDO it all again and still deal with more BS. Also, all set effects are unified (i think that’s what it said) so we have 0 idea if we should even upgrade our sets.

      Also, not to mention people who have recently began playing elsword, have probably been grinding for coins, and idk about you but when I started doing SD’s I didn’t really know what I was doing STILL. (it was 2013) So now you just confused those new people partially confused the older people and still the system is wack. New unneeded stones, new unneeded versions of gear, no new dungeons like Lanox SD or Elysion SD, no real balances, unified set effects that promote no creativity in play-style. Huh. What are you doing Nexon? This new director was doing so good…..He needs to stop focusing on the stupid things and focus on the things we have been needing since day 1.

      And FYI if we wanted to do anything with SD’s how about nerfing the actual SD sets.

  • DatRandomPerson says:

    I’m no expert when it comes to stuff like this but problem here is the amount of dedication one has to farm for this kind of stuff. Decent amount of player base from all servers don’t realistically have time to always make sure we get those dailies done each day, 7 days a week and so on. People have lives outside the game(or…they hopefully should), so it really comes down to: who can honestly give their time(and what most MMORPGs want:$$$) to get this kind of stuff. I see the player base gap as: free/casual<geared<paid, yes people can become geared without paying but we all know the paid gap easiest shortcut to trying to become OP.
    Secret Dungeon changes were expected, yes they honestly should've kept luto passes to not kill market price,they did make good call on making materials one kind(all those previous materials I'd let my pet hold), as for certain SDs per day is most likely to help make sure queues with randoms don't take forever. Doing SDs and farming for sets realistically is not hard, as I said it just takes time(and possibly $$$).

  • Endgame says:

    So why do they have to fuck around with the magic stones every time they have a SD revamp? The stat combinations were fine the second time around. Really.

    And better yet, why do they keep on doing SD revamps instead of just adding the new fucking SD and new level cap appropiate versions of the SD sets? (While making the set bonuses worse each time.)

    Eh, KOG’s gonna KOG.

  • zetgeist says:

    >Before : Luto’s ticket ⇒ After : Secret Dungeon entrance permit

    for what porpoise? no really. they already unified the keys, what need is there to change them to an item that works exactly the same…?
    since it’s only going to drop from the current two highest level regions, does this mean that they’re… like… too inept to just remove the “luto’s ticket” type from the drop lists alltogether and are just going to set them to 0% drop, so they need to have something else to actually drop?
    like… whaaaaat? I don’t get this at all.

    mind you, I gave up on “secret” dungeons before the FIRST time kog` reworked them, so it’s not like it would impact me, but still. I just do not understand the purpose of going “oop, old keys don’t count, now you need a new key that’s the exact same thing as the old one except with a different name on it”. unifying the keys was understandable, since the game is built to discourage playing in any one area longer than you’re “intended” to be there; collecting your own keys for like. wally’s lab. when you were actually of a high enough level to even consider the idea of going, was a nuisance with the game basically yelling at you “GET OUT OF HERE AND GO PLAY IN THE AREAS DEEMED CORRECT FOR YOUR LEVEL”. ah, the common sin of modern MMOs, enforcing where players are to go at any one time, on account of the subset of players too dumb to figure out where to go on their own. blah blah linear as a string blah.

  • Complaintist says:

    ….Seriously?
    “before: luto’s key”
    why can’t we just keep this? and why do we need a fucking 6ea effect to make it more of an asswhipe to grind? it’s just so annoying when everyone +10/11/12s their gear and then they’re like “oh, we’re just gonna assfuck you with no consent and just make you grind it over again”
    these changes weren’t needed
    tl:dr-
    kr is shit now

  • Kazeashi says:

    Time to grind and craft old SD eqs and lvl 75 eqs for exchange
    Yay -.-
    Or am I reading the pose incorrectly?
    The “exchanging” thing kind of lost me…

  • bimos1234 says:

    Wow, look at most creature here, complaining about the game that was easy and boring.

  • Sykez says:

    um, wow NA and KR. The talks being done about the 2, there is even war in Games now. We should have an International tournament.
    P.S I (HOPE) the new drops rates are super
    P.P.S I also (HOPE) we get gears with HP Regain, like the old lvl 70 amethyst
    That is all ^.^

  • MagicSpice says:

    a lot of people said what I wanted about the BS on SD sets now, so I won’t comment on that…

    what I DON’T get, is why is this shit hitting so fucking soon? WE DON’T HAVE LV90 YET!

  • Bypasser says:

    I see nothing wrong, dungeons are used for hunting anyway.. in any game right?

    One sd a day, kinda solves the problem for queue, lets the players focus on one sd.

    old gear can turn instantly to new gear, only draw back is the raid wep setup xD

    ^ encourage players to do Eltrion accessories haha

    ticket name change…redundant…

    stones no problem, dont use them if you dont like the stat combos

    and waiting for the 6-set effects :D

    and just a regular player here by the way.

  • mokki says:

    the only thing i want if this comes to international is that they allow us to convert our lvl80 sd sets, kinda looking for the 6-set effects but a bit shame for the raid weapon.

  • WhatABunchOfAsshats says:

    Lmfao. You guys are unreal. Bitching about something you all know not a damn thing about. Stay free.

  • XshifterX says:

    hell yeah this is nice i dont nid to enter 5 SD dungeons a day since 1 SD open a day the required crafting material is gonna be lesser and beside not all of you whinning here is grinding 5 SD runs a day right!?
