Cygnus impressions

I thought Isaac said Cygnus chars got their own independent char slot...what about those who have all 6 slots used?

They use the same slots as everyone else; that is to say, you get 3 slots per server, which can be expanded up to 12. Before, you could make 6 Adventurers, then use them as parent characters to make 6 cygnus.

Now, you don't need parent characters at all. So, you can potentially make 12 cygnus. Why you would bother with this, I have no idea. But you could do it.

AFTER you make a cygnus, the character slot changes to the one I pictured, so that you can easily tell which are Cygnus and which aren't from the login screen, but if I deleted that Cygnus then the gate would go with it.

Do we really have to call normal players Adventurers now? That sounds so lame.

And oh no what have they done to Ereb. It was such a nice place now it looks
crap with all that junk everywhere. Totally spoils the look. If you still need to get a normal character to 20 before you can make a Cygnus then wtp is the point of doing a whole second tutorial? Just seems a total waste of time.

No parent character, you can login and make a Cygnus from the start without any other characters. The tutorial area didn't replace anything, it was just added on. You land on the far right of ereb and walk left towards the empress. When I say "Maple Town" I literally mean Maple Town. If you don't know that section of maple island, it's not a real town, it's just the tutorial area like this.

That hasn't been the case for some time.

I'm also disappointed to see that Cygnus characters have simply turned into a different way to play the same game. They're not balanced with adventurers at all, and I preferred to think of them as a side-quest.

Yeah, me too. Again though, no one in KMS really plays cygnus actively, and with this change they won't bother with it at all, which is really sad.

if you have an account that was created before cygnus was released, an extra character slot was given to the account free of charge. other than that, cygnus characters require their own separate slot. as for people with 6 slots used, I'm not sure of the exact amount, but kMS has upgraded the maximum number of slots able to be purchased from the cash shop to more than 6.

I believe it's 12.
