Cygnus impressions

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

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.

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.

I believe it's 12.

Now, you don't need parent characters at all.

..Every time I read more about KoC it just gets worse and worse. Nexon Korea have just totally destroyed it in my eyes. They have turned what I considered a neat side quest into a total joke.

It's just a thought, but maybe Nexon Korea intended to make it so that a Cygnus Knight's level affected all normal characters' Blessing of the Noblesse skill, and merely screwed up in the implementation of it.

keep in mind that the change involving cygnus parent characters is still in tespia. it's possible that this particular change will never be applied to the official servers.

If they didn't want to mess it up, they should have this new way of Spirit Sharing take effect only after the player has a 120 Cygnus on the account. Untill then only the Parent benefits.

Wait, The "if you delete parent cygnus wont be deleted" is just a Theory or is it proved?

Since the "4th job" skills are only obtainable at 100 and 110, is it possable to save sp and max them once you get them. Or can you only use sp u get after level 100, which would leave you with 10 extra which i guess you can put in the rest of the "3rd job" skills.

That was always the case, even before. Right now in KMST I have 2 Cygnus (A Flame Wizard and a Windbreaker) and that's it. No need for parent characters any more.

Yes, this is what I did in KMST. I saved points up to 100 and maxed hurricane immediately. For this reason, strafe is essentially useless, because you can easily make it from 71-100 with arrow rain and level 1 strafe.

Strafe aside, I think the least useful skill for Windbreakers is, surprisingly, Puppet. So much up close fighting with rain and storm breath, I don't find myself using it much. for that reason, I'd recommend maxing Rain, Albatross, Wind Shot, and Magnum Shot, in that order. Then save the remaining points you get up to 100 for Hurricane, max that as soon as you get it, then do 10 puppet, save 20 for Bow expert, and finally finish off Puppet.

Just a question, but can your Cygnus character be a parent to another Cygnus? :f6:

nope

Poor cygnus. They can always adopt

Uhhhmmm if Cygnus got to GMS, and I have 3 slots used up, can I make a cygnus anyways or since there's no parent system anymore, I can't have one?

Unless they give a free slot when gms gets cygnus, you'd have to delete a character or buy a character slot expansion to make a cygnus

KMS actually DID give free slots to any account created before Cygnus was released, so if you currently have three characters, it's likely you will get a free 4th slot. Never know with Nexon though.

Oh, so it is still in Tespia. That's a bit better, I guess. Still...KoC was such a good idea with the blessing thing. D: Although, they could have set it up to where ALL regular ('Adventurers') get the same boost off the Cygnus and the Cygnus gets the boost off the highest adventurer. Not what they did, though. X_X

Isaac, did the free 4th slot got removed or something?
Cause at the moment, i have 3 characters -
1 Parent, 1 Cygnus, 1 yet to be a DK.
and i cant open a new character...

if your account was created AFTER cygnus was released, you do not get a fourth character slot.

Oh, wow...
