KMST 1.2.482 Zero

I am not so sure that it's as boring. I saw one video where a few attacks were used, but not much tagging or assisting was done. It was like "here's one, here's the other". Then a different video used frequent assists. It look a LOT cooler.

Right off the bat, there looks like there's quite a bit to learn about playing the class. I mean, when I look at upgraded 4th job Wind Archer, yes it's flashy, but in the end, I already know how to play it. Buff, Super Hurricane 1-4 targets, use the mob skill arrow if there's more. Hyper if necessary. Case closed. But Zero? There's combos, chances to switch, slightly different effects, etc. And even then, I'm betting the timing might be awkard in the switch. Alpha uses a normal(6) weapon with -3 attack speed in the mastery (apparently boosters were done away with). Beta uses a slow(8) with -2 speed. That's a huge, 3 speed difference, not even accounting for skill delays.

It might be similar to Hayato. Hayato didn't look fun just by skill animations and videos, but actually zipping through the map with awesome attacks was actually quite enjoyable.

The animation part was more of personally preference I must confess. Sure hayato not having anything distinguish is one key aspect of being hayato. But if more jobs turn up that way, then it is really just a mess(though I suppose it is already a mess with all the lines of damage which we finally do not see in boss fight)

As for playstyle, I was just disappointed that it doesn't comprise of 2characters(which was the selling point that nexon created). Many who do play console game will have no problem keeping up with the switch-in and chaining is definitely straight forward(unless time sensitive like mercedes)

So yeah, prior to this I do not have any idea how nexon is going to pull the 2character system off or is it even possible. And was just disappointed to find out that the so called 2character is just a glorified marketing gimmick like how mir is simply a glorified gigantic weapon cover for evan.

Like what Daakun/Satellite said, I was more looking forward to maybe a break through from nexon in terms of playstyle. Totally not dissing about zero itself. It was more of a "playstyle didn't turn out to be something more" rather then "aww boring"

Put it another way, zero playstyle is similar to xenon bar the chaining of skills. There is no difference in switching "mode" and switching "alpha<>beta"

Just curious: Anyone with zero can shed some light on whether alpha/beta skills requires keyslot individually? Or are their skills "paired up" in the sense that pressing say C on your keyboard will trigger moon strike with alpha and shadow strike if you switch beta in.
