#Changes
[Dungeon]
- Dungeon entrance UI revamped
Well, only a week or two until NA gets this stuff as well.
If you meant Skill Slot and Quick Slot Expansion quests, you’ll get them on Wednesday’s update
I mean the actual content, not the quests.
sounds like wishful thinking, given the track record. [citation needed]
Um, a LOT of updates have been coming out in only one or two weeks lately!
Including this one: http://elsword.koggames.com/hall-of-el/
At least slot b and the quick slots are somewhat free and easy to obtain.
100 skills used is pretty easy. On ATh that should be 2 SD runs at most.
Easier for DiE due to Overlimit.
Easier for Aisha with teleport
Teleport actually active skill, they may require special active
it would be so stupid if actives work XD
Actives do count.
I thought the quest for the free Skill Expansions were going to be harder. Praise the lord that I was wrong. Now I can focus my money on buying Fetch Auras instead.
They’re not permanent, though.
If there’s 30 days in a month and the slots last four 30 days, do the math on that. Stop making it sound like it’s worse than it actually is.
It’s basically permanent. The quest is really easy and takes less than 25 minutes to complete…its damn near permanent
I’m not trying to make it sound bad, I’m just saying that in a way, it’s still better to have permanent B-Slot, since you won’t have to remember to do the quest every month.
you forgot 31 day long months
so it’s almost perm
you can open the box a few days after you got it, that way you’ll have still some days of b slot to get the b slot
It’s not a box, it’s an item that enables B-Slot while it’s in your inventory, like the ones you used to get from Job Change quests.
The quest resets every month, is easy to complete, and expansions lasts for 30 days.
Just keep doing the quest every month and the whole paywall issue for B Slots is pretty much gone.
Game is getting better.
gotta praise Kog for (almost) breaking the paywall
yes, praise them for giving you a monthly chore to do if you can’t be paying them for a basic feature that shouldn’t be paywalled in the first place.
It’s a F2P game. They have to make somehow. Be grateful that they’re even giving us this option and stop complaining.
make money*
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!
I do think they charge too much for it, but there is logic behind the need to pay for it!
Maple Story is the most prominent free to play game worldwide and it lets you use as many skills as you want assigned to any key you want.
Closers is a free to play game made by people who worked on Elsword and gives you more than enough hotkey slots to assign all the skills you’d want to use.
…..Are they strapped for cash because they don’t make people pay to have more than four skills?
A shitty argument used to defend a shitty company.
Maplestory and Closers play differently than Elsword. Not really fair comparisons.
>monthly chore
If your idea of a chore is “play the game for like an hour”
Also who’s gonna make the trans traits list :DDDD
You do know Elwiki already keeps track of that stuff, right?
my fellow type b slot users, let us cherish the memories we all had.
Amen.
i’m still gonna place the skill slot right where the type b was, so yeah, gonna miss it i guess, … maybe
Huh…I’m going to go from sss rank to e rank in 2 seconds thanks to this
Just get used to Type-A before you PvP again. Simple as that.
well, at least people won’t have to farm the shit out of dungeon to buy a B-slot.
Tho they have to do slave work to get it lol
Use 100 skills? That is pretty easy to be honest, every month just go nuts on skills even if it means hitting nothing. It basically is perm for those not able to fork over the cash to do so.
If u use DC go into velder SD and when u reach the free MP pot just go in 3rd state and spam trans 100mp skill. And low cost MP skills when u need mana recharge
They lied to us about the story ending in Elysion.
What else did they lie to us about? They also said that the game wasn’t shutting down at the same time…..
I don’t recall them ever saying that. But even if they did…
PLANS FUCKING CHANGE YOU DUMBASS!
Hey Endgame, remember what you said about how the ESP should just go home and leave Elsword?
HENIR CULT!!
Yeah, basically, saving Elsword wasn’t just a desire from the ESP members: it was kind of something they NEEDED to do, ’cause Elboy’s more than likely going to be a VERY important part of the fight against this new enemy. Not to mention that Ain himself said that the El Search Party was important to Elrios: Elboy included, before he reformed and appeared in Elianode.
The story is so bad. Its just a fit everything in story now.
The story seemed like it used to have more thought put into it. We had things like Alterasia that were more subtle but had horrific implications. We had the glitters in Velder fighting like a real organized army rather than the shadow demons in Hamel and their Zerg rush tactics.
…..But it’s safe to say the moment we were shown loli Elesis being confronted by the leader of the demon army and forcing him to retreat was the moment the story turned into pure shit.
…..At least the story and gameplay are consistent with Scar being an absolute joke of a main villain. Anime Team Rocket was closer to succeeding in stealing Pikachu on multiple occasions than big bad muscular Scar was to beating a little girl. (Even if it’s Mary Suesis, it’s still fucking sad.)
You’re trying to side with a guy whose username is “Rolling Troll”.
Your “subtle” story telling wasn’t story telling. That was world building. Alterasia had no real story relevance, just world building relevance. Even then, other regions also contribute to world building, not everything can be directly tied to the Nasod War, hence why other regions build upon other details of the world.
Glitters being an organized army, isn’t the only time an enemy group is shown having more complex organization. That’s the entire plot of Sander, which is all about manipulating and organizing various groups. Whatever went on in Sander makes Velder seems straight forwards.
If we’re talking about methods in which demon forces acted, Glitters used an organized army, Hamel was dealt with in a complete different way, as in they used the Waterways and Water El as tools to take over Hamel. They didn’t need a completely organized army because their method of taking over Hamel didn’t require it, instead they took Hamel’s key mechanisms and turned them against the city.
Your argument is completely null and void because you’re trying to argue about the story while ignore the story.
The glitter army won. They actually took Velder and forced the heroes to retreat. (Even after Mary Suesis was retconned into Velder even though it would have been easy for them to just have her win the battle and resolve that issue.)
Ran flat out lost and is only still alive to be forgotten about by the writers because little sister was there to save his ass.
Karis’ plan fell apart immediately after they figured out what was going on because she was manipulating a bunch of dumb locals and her own personal army of guys with wings, girls with wings, and fat bat things sucked. (Although hilariously enough 8-5 Karis herself was actually one of the few bosses still capable of killing the players. Succubi are usually lower level demons…..)
Your argument is completely null and void because you’re trying to argue about the story while ignore the story.
thing about velder is that they requested help from hamel… which they got….
never indicated when, but if you pay close attention, it’s mentioned in hamel at some point that they supported velder
it’s more like the glitter army got forced into a stalemate than won
Demons didn’t win in Velder. We just ended in in a stalemate. We got out of Velder to search for reinforcements and reclaim it another day, however we still took out all their primary leaders, Dark Nephilim can’t be summoned anymore, we got rid of their primary source of fire Crazy Puppet, and lastly Ain shut off their source for reinforcements.
We sent half of the Red Knights at the very beginning of Hamel and the rest went back once we finished Hamel.
Ran didn’t really even lose. He got what he sought to achieve, the Water Seal was in endgame in Hamel the entire time. Ran never cared about taking over Hamel, his entire plan from beginning to end always revolved around sifting out the Water Seal. His last line in Hamel is literally “Hmph, I have no more business here.” That is pretty direct that he did finish his goal.
An old person who sits at a computer all day, doing nothing but mindlessly playing games, one of which is made by a retarded company, is trying to make an argument..
Well, thats not new. “Vaffcliff, anyone?”
I’m sure in the beginning, KoG had plans to copy GC but thought that, if they did, they wouldn’t get as much recognition. So they just changed the names of Arme and Lire, just altered the backstories a bit, then took Elesis’s brother instead of her.
You said Ain took out the source of the Glitter’s reinforcements? Well, Ain wasn’t there when the “Story” was being made. So that means, until Ain was released, the Glitters had lots of reinforcements.
I’ve read many books, so this “World Building” is just a trashy “Introduce new hype place and characters so players can waste money”, apparently.
Never mind Ain. Main character Elesis even being in Elsword was most likely not even considered when they were writing the Velder storyline.
Even then, the entire point of going to Hamel was the sent reinforcement back. So regardless whether of not Ain had anything to do with it. The story was going towards sending reinforcements so to finish the job regardless. No matter what was going on, from a narrative direction, the job was done when we finished Hamel.
Point being, whatever happened in Velder, humans won in the end regardless if Ain was or wasn’t introduced to the story. Ain’s introduction was simply there to just give more reassurance. Anybody who thought that Velder wasn’t over and done, never actually payed attention to the whole part where we went Red Knights back to finish the job. That was a plot point which was there from day 1 of Hamel.
The nerfs aren’t all that bad.
