Dragon Nest Social Thread

Academic (or Tinkerer, what the hell) is coming!

http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/news/00...w-tinkerer

And don't forget, login event is today! Be aware that all characters will recieve a dragon egg today, but only the oldest/highest level character is eligible to recieve the vortex geode pouch later on.

So they're releasing both advancements?

oh snaps! I still don't have my computer though

WELL this makes me want to come back

Oh hi Tinkerer

I don't know why people are mad that this came before 50 cap. I guess everyone is just tired of being level 40, who knows.

I logged back in today for the first time in like 3 months. I had 2000 gold of stuff sold in the MP

So, the Level 60 cap was released in kDN last week. So why is no one really talking about it?

http://forum.mmosite.com/thread/2/217/20...e13-1.html

All they really did was release 5 new dungeons (still in Lotus Marsh when everyone believed that we'd be moving to Tel Numara) and two Nests that don't even seem that challenging compared to Apoc at 40 cap. Also, new euips.

No new skills yet, but ultimates can be upgraded to Level 2 at level 60.

Some weapon suffixes no longer stack, which especially impacts Intellect weapons. Now Priests and Sorceresses should look into using Intellect + Magic Power or Element instead of trying to stack both after 60 cap.

All in all, I get the impression that they rushed out the 60 cap. They're supposed to be adding more next month, but I would not be surprised at all if they released Kali instead of releasing the level 60 skills for all of the other classes, considering that the Kali skill preview has been out for quite a while.

...There's a pretty big issue on the Nexon forums right now. I don't know the full details of it yet since Nexon has yet to make a clear official statment about this, but I'll try.

Since about Thursday or Friday last week, some people have been getting FIVE +13 Level 40 Epic Primary Weapon vortex geodes. Those, along with 25k NX scales, are supposedly given to people with accounts that have been inactive for a long time. How inactive? Some things indicate that it's people that have not logged in even once between perhaps late Feburary/early March at the latest and now. Said accounts have to have characters at Level 24 or above, and I think they have to talk to Irine to get the prizes.

Of course, people are ticked. Aesilli (the new community CM since Alteris left in late March from the looks of things) said that it might seem unfair at first, but said inactive people could not have been around to participate in the recent events (giving off the impression that the events designers don't even play the game, because even one of those geodes is far more valuable than the combined worth of all prizes from all events that have happened in the history of NA DN).

...But enough of that. If you probably fit into the inactive category, check the email associated with your account, or talk to Irine with a level 24+ character. Assuming the Irine part is true, because I have no idea if it even is.

Yea I heard about this..to be honest I'm pretty jelly about this

Log in for 4 days from the 13th - 19th and get a free poochum pet? Seems too good to be true

I cant log in, launch failure every time. Anyone know how to fix this?

Pets expire in 30 days. If anything, some people on the forums see this as a jerk move by Nexon, either because they already have the pet, or it won't be going to their Academic (I refuse to call her Tinkerer) characters next week. On the bright side, this means everyone that participates in this event will no longer have to spend the 3k NX to get the pet (only the 1k or so to revive it IIRC), unless it outright disappears from our inventory, which I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

Might have to either use manual launcher (which won't work if your password is too long, I think longer than 16 characters since it won't fit in the box), or download the latest client and reinstall the game from there.

I had the same issue two weeks ago when I deleted/reinstalled the game when the site launcher suddenly stopped working (and that's how I found out about the manual launcher not accepting long passwords). Apparently there are problems with trying to patch from a client that is too old.

Just re-installed it and its good now. Also I changed my key bindings, this seems like it would be better but im gonna try it out in game.

Giving out free, timed items is a marketing strategy.

Giving something free that's timed is a good way to get the person to see what that item can do. Usually it will encourage the person to buy more of the item when the free one runs out, OR in cases like this buy the recharge items to continue using the now ''free'' item.

Since there's an infinite amount of cash items and they take absolutely nothing to ''make'', it can only profit them in the end. People that already bought it don't matter, you got their money already, and people that didn't have it before are now more likely to buy the recharge item.

Not even any new skills at 60 cap? That sucks.

We're getting the Hybrid FTG system that SEA got with our Academic update as well!

http://dragonnest.nexon.net/news/news/00...tem-update

''For all players, having 0 PWR left will reduce the item drop rate to 20%.''

So if I'm understanding this correctly: Instead of FTG which makes it literally impossible to run dungeons once it's been depleted, this version of the system allows you to still be able to run the dungeon, but kill a lot of incentive to even bother by reducing your drop rates to almost nothing?

At Lv40 you'll consume all of your PWR in three Abyss runs, so basically not even 25~30minutes before your rates are reduced.

Well, there goes my desire to return when content arrives. I see no reason to play if I can't farm for items to sell for money so I can make a few upgrades. Players complained, and this is what they get. I'll just wait and see how this goes in the long run I guess.

Mother of god. This update is jam packed with stuff. They just packed in about 3 months worth of updates in kDN into one patch for NA...

A new class is coming on the 5th of July in the Korean version. The name of the class is Kali.
I just got my gaming rig, so I might be back to Dragon Nest. I'll see how good this class is.

Oh, yeah.

She might come out with the rest of the level 60 content. Or at least that's what I hope.
