has anyone got a sao permanent equip from sao boxes yet?

has anyone got a sao permanent equip from sao boxes yet?

Just temp so far, and I die at the last stage in premium dungeon. Gonna try some more :3

I can't log in to the game at all. I logged in just fine yesterday, but today the game fails to launch with "no such host is known" and attempting to open the game through gamelauncher works, but it won't let me log in.

It's annoying. I can log in on the site, but the game isn't working. I can get in the game, but then the log in isn't working.

Yeah it pops up again, was reported a few hours ago. I do agree on the "too good to be true" part. The point was to do the quest and leave, not grind there for hours and make it from 10-180 in one go, obviously not intentional.

I think it's actually supposed to be repeatable daily, why release an event for a month and you can only do it once? And only get one mount? Doesn't really make any sense.

Getting one mount actually makes sense, since they're tradeable. You can do the event on multiple characters and move the mounts around, or trade with other people.

Maybe it's only repeatable until you get all three mounts. We'll see Saturday... assuming the event is still unchanged by then.

Anyway, yeah, got a second Hunter's Buff (and they even stack, being permanent. Very nice!) and the Jet Boat to add to my Submarine.
Got less than 1% this time, skipping every map that wasn't essential to the quest. This event is definitely too good to be true.

Yeah good point, maybe it's not resetting for everybody. Why Saturday? Still Thursday and Friday left until weekend.

Now I wonder what would've happened if we got sidekick system along this event...

the answer is nothing, I know but...

which thing was more broken sidekick or this?

Saturday because on Wednesday people got the first mount. Today we can get a second. Tomorrow (Friday) we can get the third. Saturday morning is the earliest we can see whether the quest reappears for people who already received all three mounts.

I'm pretty sure Mr.Lee is a solo event, so people couldn't stack it with sidekick.

I think this event is more broken because everybody can easily benefit from it. You don't need two computers or a friend to sidekick-leech you. And it doesn't stop at 120.

But you're right, GMS exclusive content can have serious balancing issues. KMS, JMS, and CMS have test servers for tweaking these sorts of things, but we just get them straight to live.

Mr Lee event is a strictly solo, minimap-type event. The maps are non-CC, non-CS, non-ML etc. etc., which was what made me worried because "I can't get out!" to do my job advancement.

Yeah I confirm you can get the buff again. It's... better than Apple (but you can't trade it). Makes for some... curious damage control.

I also note that the submarine map appears to be cursed by the RNG god. They also didn't quite code the landing spot for the submarine map correctly.

Hadriel

Couple other bugs I've noticed;

Attempting to enter Madman Ranmaru from the Dead Mine gives me the messages "You are not a member of the current party" and "Only members of an expedition can enter this map", even though I'm already in a party. Normal Ranmaru works fine.

And I've yet to obtain a single Circulator from boss drops. Either they got removed from the drop tables, or I'm EXTREMELY unlucky. (2.62x drop)

Are you unable to get the same mount again? From the data, all the quests in the Mr. Lee Airlines category are tagged daily repeatable, but, I'd rather not check since I'd rather stay away from this event with a ten foot pole at the moment.

If the quests stop repeating after you get all three mounts, then one could potentially just claim the same mount over and over again to keep doing it regardless.

The Blaze Wizards level 150 Hyper Skill, Dragon Blaze, is supposed to have a cooldown of 90 seconds (it says so in the tooltip) but you can use it as much as you want. You can actually rapid fire it by keeping hold of the skill key, which is absolutely insane.

Ya, I tried a few levels on my BW using strictly just this, but I found that just spamming orbital does more damage.

How will they ever decide who used it "excessively"?
Are they just going to ban whoever leveled "too fast" for their liking, even if they never set foot on the island?

I'd really rather they close off the area until they decide what to do about it.

As it is, this smells like a mess of poisonable Bigfoot proportions. Except worse, because all classes and levels can take advantage of it.
Nexon reps say they "discourage" its use, but they didn't put anything on the website or in-game about it. Not everyone reads forums or social media. People just hear from their friends in-game that it's godly exp, and they flock to it. And of course, the longer it's open, and the more people use it, the more people can convince themselves that "they can't ban everyone" and do it even if they have read the forum.

Also, I have to laugh at what this does to the hyped and over marketed SAO event (can you say "annoying in-game notices"?). Nobody cares about SAO. Everybody is all about Mr.Lee.

I dunno, I'm just sharing what I've heard from them :I

Does anyone know how to get the Maple Warrior skill for Cygnus Knights? My Blaze Wizard doesn't have it.

I know, sorry, I was more responding to Artasi than to you.

120 Cygnus Storyline quest.

If this is now, you were training in the wrong areas...

I am sure he was doing story quest stuff and not just grinding.

Cygnus Knights/Edelstein quests, Ellinel quests, Gold Beach grinding/quests, Drakes/Pixies/Wolves grinding. A bit of both :x

Looking at the rankings, did we rollback or have they not updated yet!?

Ah yes, finally found the right one, thank you!

Rankings, when they update (sometimes it isn't every day), update around 9:10 am pst from what I remember back when I trained.

[MENTION=1959]Dragon[/MENTION]; they updated at some point between 9:18 and 9:28am, check them again now.
