Gollux

AlienPQ was obviously a permanent addition. Nothing in the update notes or nothing hinted anywhere about it being a temp event PQ. The only reason why anyone would think it wouldn't be a permanent addition would be because of the Visitor event in the past, even though AlienPQ hardly had anything in common with the Visitor event.

Because a random alien pq that just comes out of no where with no permanent location that just pops in a dimension mirror is really that assuring it was permanent? It had no tie in to anything revelant in maplestory unless you really want to stretch the alien storyline with current masteria [which doesnt even feature the same aliens], which i even doubt CMS had anyway since they co-op releaed it with gms.

Our opinions differ. But is it a stretch to think it was temporary? Probably as much as to think it was permanent.

actually, not as much a stretch to think it was temporary than to think it was permanent.

A few items were reset for me.

Chaos scroll, AEE, Fallen Heart Keys, Red Star Potion (100k meso)

edit: ah, looks like that when adding the new scroll the data for what item you've bought the max of shifted up by one

How many Hell mode did you clear and how many 150 equip you gotten so far? so far I only gotten one... out of 13 hell mode run
is it me or im so unlucky or what

Out of 3 runs so far, I haven't even gotten a 140 equip (clear 5). I heard a rumor that they changed the drop rate during the stabilization patch.

Anyone knows if I can wear superior gollux ring with a reinforced one? If yes then hello 2 perfect rings<3 :o lf>anwerspls

Is nearly confirmed.. my guildmates had that problem too... they nerfed the boss so hard now....

You should be able to wear all 4 Gollux rings at the same time.

In the past 2 easy gollux runs i did i got pend and belt on each run.

Then today guild did clear 3 gollux and we got 130 pend and belt.

Anyone have any advice for killing the eyes on a melee class?

Phantom Blow doesn't have enough vertical range to hit it unless I jump, and he seems to use the reverse controls/bomb skill often enough that if I jump attack, I'll end up jumping down and getting OHKO'd with the Demon Cry attack... I can hit it with Blade Fury, but it seems like if I stay too close to the middle (as in, if I'm close enough for any of my skills to actually hit him), he attacks and kills me. The only videos I've seen are of ranged classes (Xenon, Luminous, Evan, [MENTION=3070]Marksman Bryan[/MENTION]; ), and they don't seem to get hit by anything standing at the very corner of the platforms. I have no chance of killing Hell mode if I use Vampire, that only hits 90% damage x 4 and has a delay of over a second at fastest(2) =/

Jewel seems easy though, the platform is tiny so every attack can reach, so that'll just be a matter of throwing money at him and then holding down the attack button.

Asura and hope he dies before you run out of lives?

and leave when it's on cd idk

Probably will need at least one other person in there with me to clear the summons on the bottom too.. Bloody Storm is amazing for the jaw but beyond that I can't really do anything ;_; I'll do some more testing tomorrow. I think I could duo with a strong ranged class without too many issues but I don't like the idea of just standing in the corner waiting for the eyes to die =/ Fairly certain Final Cut doesn't even reach, and there isn't enough time to fully charge it and then cast it in mid-air either.

I guess DBs can't do everything after all

Hm I would say that if you have a snowball's chance in hell of solo'ing the thing, time won't ever be a problem. You'll easily have more than 20 minutes to kill the eyes. I'm not sure how much vampire + asura when it's off CD would do, but if it can do the job in 20 minutes, it's still viable. If not, you can make a ranged person make him face their way and then attack from the other direction (you'll still get hit by demon cry).

DISCLAIMER: THIS PART IS IS COMPLETE THEORYCRAFTING:

I'm kind of talking out of my ass on this one but the way his first head works (I'm a ranged class, but stay in melee range on the first part) works is it turns to you but there's a delay. If he decides to attack during that delay he stays the way he's facing. Maybe you could try alternating sides fast enough that he'll do that and attack the wrong way like the first form (obviously you still get hit by demon cry) but at least that's half of the attacks gone.

Also, I can dodge the arm uppercuts with legendary spear and my friend does it with the xenon's diagonal jump move. Maybe you can bloodystorm to dodge the hand.

There's also a rhythm to his attacks. Like after he does an attack he doesn't normally do another one extremely quickly. So perhaps you can default to vampire asura and then when you see him do some move, FJ in for a couple PB's then get back on the ledge and continue vampiring.

Unfortunately my DB friends haven't come along with me yet so I can't give you real advice.

Gollux kills through it.

Did they seriously just make gollux only drop coins from killing the head?!(AKA you can only get 2 coins a day)

Probably. The shoulders and the abdomen no longer drop green coins for me after the SC.

This, at least, was expected. There is absolutely no way they intended to be able to farm green coins the way people have been for instant ring and earrings.

Or if it was, it was intended to be an event scheme, where they give you something good and take it away because you played during release. (they do it all the time)

I was pretty sure the head dropped more than 2 green coins.

At least that's what I thought looking at the white text when you loot things. They appear as 2 coins but in bundles... if you get what I mean. Unless I'm mistaking the blue and green coins :f6:.

Aww, kinda wish I farmed more, but then again the shop doesn't reset anyway.. at least I got the Earrings and Ring.

[MENTION=9398]Vanderlust[/MENTION]; I did some more testing and while that does kind of work, it doesn't work nearly well enough to be viable. I can sort of dodge the attacks at the eyes but I still end up getting OHKO'd because I can't move fast enough to dodge the Demon Cry skill. Can't really use Bloody Storm on that platform either because there's a gap in the middle so I have to jump between the two rather than just rolling across like I do at the jaw.
There's no way of soloing Hell mode anyway, so I'll just let the ranged guys take care of the eyes =/ I can use a couple attacks every now and then when it's safe but I have no way of dealing enough damage to be considered helpful.

It's like Bodyguards circa 2009 all over again
