KoG….. is fixing the game?!?!?
If change the UI will be perfect.
Elsword looks like a Kid Game
And Kid game is only for kid? ‘-‘)
Only kids are worried if a game is for Kids or not.
Play it, enjoy it. We all die some day. No point in caring about if it looks kiddy or not.
The answer is no. KOG is not fixing the game. They’re just doing pre-emptive damage control for Adaptability.
Nice an ED shop that should have been there since day one.
KOG is finally taking there first steps of being a decent game. *claps*
Inb4 it goes downhill by something stupid.
I see the brighter future for this game after this patch , hope nothing will change on other servers , like the ED shop , don’t screw it up KOG Games
So spec b is gone.
Well this is the end of Catastrophe.
Thanks kog, you officially made it possible to destroy all 3 classes of 1 character in a single patch. (If you don’t count splitting lu/ciel stats)
Awesome.
Luciel was stupid anyways and the removal of spec a/b was needed
How were luciels stupid?
Also Spec B and A were needed. You know what’s not needed? Add damage, because no one stacks that. Or the new dual magic stones, or red damage because no one stacks that anymore either.
Spec A and B applied to the unique system of a character, just because people like you were using the maxi-crit meta doesn’t mean everything else is obsolete.
You sound like a Raven or Chung who have been bullshit since day one and don’t know what struggle looks like.
And you sound like the arrogant type who don’t listen to what anyone says
OOF
If you need spec a or b to deal damage on any class, you’re doing it very wrong…
Your damage does indeed come fro. Crit/maxi (add dam too for PvP), but spec a and b are bonuses…
Say that to the character that has a spec b that amplifies the damage on combination skills, which kind you WERE GUTTED.
you just haven’t noticed because we socket SPEC B. Goddam.
But it’s ok, not like Catastrophe doesn’t have anything else going for him besides Apollyon..
Oh wait..he doesn’t.
You do know defense ignore and back attacks do a ton of damage with catastrophe right?
Then there’s souls for the 2nd route…
Again, you aren’t using them right if you’re spec reliant
Why does it sound like I’m the only one to stack Red.Damage to normalization point?
Well spilt stats were very much needed because they had twice as much stats than anyone else. Luciel will still be alright stacking other things. I also enjoy playing them so it won’t stop me.
i don’t think they have twice as much stats than other character like u said :-/ the only stat that they shares the bonus together is max HP if i remember right (‘3’) which would allow them to have as much HP as a character with higher HP point in that character’s statistic graph :v
Yeah, so needed that it gave Luciels the title of weakest character in the game.
If they were going to split stats they should at least make gear separate.
You’re calling the dreadlord route weak? Hell, Noblesse route is powerful too and even demonio if done right..
For someone that uses luciel, you should know that only their HP is weak…
Yeah, for someone who plays Luciels, I know for a fact that I have to invest a lot of different sockets, not just maxi and crit like the rest of you retarded metas…
Things like speed cause they are actually slow asf without it. More gain because despite what everyone thinks, Catastrophe is not that resourceful.Spec B because without it Catastrophe can’t really confidently use a combination skill minus demonic cannon without it doing less than 2% damage to a person’s HP. but you metas wouldn’t know that because you’re playing classes like Raven and add where if you z loop and then use a skill u win.
Sdfu pls. Ever since the nerf Luciels had to come out of a lot of resources into multiple stats just to live up to the basic requirements to play this game. People seem to forget why Luciels went extinct before the buff after transcence release.
But keep playing your Ravens.
First off, I main aisha. Get off this raven B’S.
Second, I. HAVE. A. LUCIEL. The 3rd route one but I have used all 3. You need to read those passive and skills more before you claim to know them cause if I tossed a +7 on all my characters, strangely my luciel comes out on top… cause idk… I USE SKILLS AND PASSIVES TO INCREASE DAMAGE?!
I can still carry myself well in PvE with Catastrophe and they’ve been my main since the day LuCiel came out (well for a while I mained the third path when DL was at its worst) — I never relied on Spec B to carry myself, just good CP clocking to alternate between Apollyon and Demonic Cannon (for PvE at least, PvP I haven’t touched in a few seasons since the meta is gross, but star rank Catastrophes exist), gear, and having basically 70-80% in crit/maxi, mana gain, and using ERP/elrianode to buff combi damage — even before I carried myself with SD gear. So you can still be the “retarded meta” and still do damage.
Yeah if you don’t wanna chug potions then yes, it sucks — but the modded Summon Demon helps a lot with CP clocking. Again, for PvP I cant speak since I don’t enjoy doing it anymore, there you just gotta git gud against geared people with carry classes.
Apollyon being gutted will suck and I’m still pissy about it in some ways but (I guess) I can understand the nerf. Just gotta roll with it like last time DL was gutted — who knows, maybe modded oblivion will become a new meta for PvE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Late comment is late but I haven’t been skimming babel that often. TL;DR: nerf sucks, removal of spec sucks for some classes, but Catastrophe can live without it and you’re not doing to die without it. Anger is understandable but know that Catastrophe can live in a different socket meta.
I wouldn’t say destroy at all considering that PvE-wise you can finally have passives to use against what otherwise would be debuff-immune mobs.
Rena and Rose will be taking the biggest hits to sustain and damage respectively if anything, but the rest of the characters like Chung already received nerfs so hard that made stacking Spec A/B almost not worth it.
As for Elesis, not sure what they’re gonna do since the gauge management was being influenced by Spec A/B as factors. Raven and Eve are probably rejoicing though.
Lake Noah is gone?
RIP Lake Noah
We have a Lake Noah, a Noah’s Grave, and Velder Imperial Guard Noah.
…..Too many Noahs. Something had to get taken out.
But the question is… would everything in the ED shop be permanent? it smells like Temporary to me.
Yeah everything will surely be temp, you know how KoG loves to make this game a freakin’ chore. And judgind by that “costume window page” update…. they will be at some retarded prices too.
6) Changes to beginning levelling zone gears
– Set effects are removed for gears that drop in beginning levelling zones. (Lv.1 ~ Lv.90, except Secret Dungeons)
Wait , Wot!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO , DONT YOU TOUCH MY FKING ROARING BERSERKER SET EFFECT U PIECE OF… Really , WHY!? Not needed change , remove dis pleaseeeeeee! HOW IM SUPPOSED TO ENJOY THE GAME WITHOUT THIS SET!?
Yes , Replying to myself , I KNOW IT IS BROKEN but IS LVL 72 , LET IT DIE IN PEACE WITH ALL IT’S GLORY!
that is literally the first thing i thought of, i have a character SPECIFICALLY for that effect (a flame lord to be exact), if that leaves il be salty
i thought it was only me hoping hidden flare effect wont dissappear x’d
If my reading comprehension isn’t betraying me, I think the sets that will get removed set effects will be the intermediate/advanced ones with only the exceptional sets retaining the set properties, not the history reward sets, because aside the weapons it’s impossible to get drops of them
I don’t think they only remove the set effects, it looks like they removed the equipment itself! I know I had gear equipped to my LK, but he had nothing equipped when I logged in yesterday!
so… kog fixes the game… anyone else feels like something really bad is about to happen?
-The eventual realization that everyone will come to that the game is NOT fixed.
-Demon Realm is going to be full of more perma-super armor enemies that are immune to status effects and have suicide explosion death animations and inflated HP.
-New super OP character that makes pre-nerf Ain look like William by comparison.
-The new character is male.
-Aisha nerfs. Oops, they made Mod Impact Zone too OP again! Better fix that…..
-Elesis favoritism returns with a vengeance complete with the story making her out to be carrying the group with her El Lady powers.
–All of the above.
BTW Endgame, come back to elsword. (If you haven’t already)
With how much he complains, you’d think he never quit the game
The only thing keeping him here is his severe autism.
Oh look. Another worthless 4chan alt-righter who just casually tosses around the word “autism” without understanding what it actually is. Probably while also calling people “soyboy” while conveniently forgetting the fact that his idol Hitler was a vegetarian due to digestive issues.
Or is it the same moron? Or are they all a hivemind? Eh.
Considering it impairs the ability to communicate and interact, maybe you do have it…
A lot of us sure as hell don’t want to communicate and interact with a lot of your comments…
And something tells me he’s not using “autism” the way you think he is.
Never.
I just quit Closers because things were beginning to remind me a little too much like KOG.
There’s this bug with all the raid bosses where if you revive between phases then start attacking the boss, you get disconnected. And the current endgame content is full of cheap deaths. So for this bug to still not be fixed after over a year….. that’s KOG level of gross incompetence.
Also, the new artist they got to replace “feminazi” Nono (Who was a worthy successor of RESS.) is awful and keeps making the characters look younger. Complete with toddlerfying Levia’s face.
Now why would I want to go back to what Closers is slowly becoming? (I bet the next female character after Mystic is going to be loli cancer too. It’s only a matter of time.) Complete with the PVE issue of being too easy and boring when you overgear the stage or entirely painful and dragged out when you’re undergeared.
Try soulworker
Bugs happen in all games, not just KoG’s. If that bug really was such a big problem, you should have let customer support know about it.
Sure, I’ll just write Naddic a bug report, hope someone there is fluent in English, and hope Nexon doesn’t ban my account for being a ‘merican. Smashing plan!
I love Memes’s of Aisha nerfs.
Life of Aisha’s users.
memes of aisha nerfs*
Yes… a new area will be introduced soon. Which means that it’s probably difficult and these updates are their way of remedying the situation.
Naturally, it has to get more difficult as you progress…
Kog just does it the wrong way a ton…
Its scaring me i love elsword but this is to good to be true whats the catch
R.I.P. Spec A 20%+ Overstrike dmg Rose…
So now Mayas Title will be full critical and maximize? well that could be an interesting title
Now just hope they don’t remove it like the other grindfest tittles that were actually worth getting
If i have go 500+ run void before the update then after the update the drop rate increase count that 500+ run or just form 0
this is one hell of a patch thats gonna fix the game almost entirely,theres still some issue here and there but its good,maybe this will be the start of the changes of the game “~ Elsword ~”
KR Elsword Ranking Watch:
http://www.gamemeca.com/popup/ranking.php?scode=O&rid=1565
Down 4 ranks to #40.
Closers just released a new area and it’s still off the charts. So new areas aren’t as exciting to people as one would think.
They should make new character maybe karis?? I miss her
There’s been demand for Karis ever since we first saw her in that cutscene.
…..KOG has responded to this demand by killing her, demoting her to Lu’s tutorial boss, retconning the part where she backstabbed Lu, making a cutscene where Eve clearly makes her super dead, and then skipping over her completely in the anime.
Now why would KOG give us a character with an actual new weapon type and new playstyle potential with her wings (aerial specialist) and mind control powers? They’d rather give us a Rule 63 Rena but he’s a Dark Elf (With one job path where he turns full blown demon!) and an edgelord…..
…..
KOG’s actually going to do it now that I put the idea out there, aren’t they?
Tutorial boss isn’t a demotion, pretty much every tutorial boss that was a normal boss before the tutorial revamp is still important to the story outside of the tutorial. Besides, EVERYONE knows that it was Karis who came to kill Lu and ultimately triggered Ciel’s contract, that was a fact before LuCiel was even in the game, so who else would be their tutorial boss?!
That, or most PC gamer fans are masochists. It would make alot of sense for the consistent crap kog makes up
And why Maple Story is still one of the biggest MMOs worldwide.
And why people who quit keep on coming back.
Even when they get locked out of their Nexon NA accounts which are stuck in an infinite reactivation loop but hey, there’s Reboot now! It’s Maple Story without the pay2win!
…..
That sounds awfully specific? Don’t be silly. It’s not specific at all! Nope. Not. At. All.
Kanna was a great first character to make beyond the whole meso farming thing. She doesn’t need potions~.
game is getting easier?
easy = dead
seriously be like finish 3rd job per day with my 37 character (take note all SD +9 (except 3 with full sets already))
kinda getting bored now
why not make it harder
well for me…
so after getting what you want whats next?
quitting cause you have what you want already what more will you do?
btw been playing since CBT along with GC
lOL IvE bEEn PlaYInG sInCe prE aLphA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
RIP Spec A
RIP my TB +25% Skill Damage…
Eh, who knows, Adaptability could potentially be just as good as Specialization, if not better.
Somehow, I think they’ll merge spec a and b into adaptability
Dude, Noon is 12PM, not 12AM. 12AM is midnight.
rose is a dead class w/o spec a
IKR…. :(
How to do the quest for Transcend skill slot ? cant find one :/
I can’t find it either.
How much is the ED shop
I like what I’m seeing.
