I hadn't had a chance to check out Elin Forest's Party Quest since it came out about a week ago until yesterday. Before the last KMS patch (1.2.60 was a bug fix) the Elin Forest PQ data in the Quest log indicated what we learned from KMST: That is, that the party quest was from 50-200. Additionally from what we know about it, it required one person from all 5 jobs (Pirate, Thief, Magician, Warrior, Archer.) to enter.
Now, however, the truth is revealed: They nerfed it down to 45-55. I can't possibly think of a worse range for this. It's overlapping FIVE different other PQs. As if that weren't frustrating enough, they changed it so that instead of needing all classes, you now can bring anyone of any class along. This is horrible news; instead of requiring everyone to work together and make use of all classes strengths, it's been reduced to every other party quest where we bring 5 assassins along. >_>
Thoughts? personally, this greatly angered me. Not only did they change what should have been a fun exploration for everyone of every level, but they also eliminated the need of every class, putting the same old people in the limelight and throwing the rest of us to the sidelines. They picked what was likely the worst possible level range to add it to as well, because with Monster Carnival, Ludi PQ, Ludi Maze PQ (Which admittedly is not available in KMS), Orbis PQ, and Pirate PQ, it's by far adequately covered. I'm thoroughly discouraged and disappointed, especially given the fact that at the moment, there are NO quests in Elin Forest at all. Yet another unique and innovative idea ruined at the hands of Nexon Korea... They've done very poorly this month.
