v.123 - Tempest: Into the Storm Update Notes

Also Chryse is now open to level 50 up.

Gonna get ALL the medals!

Not sure on this since I don't play my Cannoneer much, but...did Barrel Bomb's range double? It sure goes a helluva lot farther than I remember.

It didn't double, but it sure increased by 1.5x. It used to go to where anchor lays itself down, now it goes far farther.

Might be old news, but has anyone noticed that GMS decided to use the name "Angelic Buster" (can be seen in the event notes)?

Empress is going to be AWESOME now!

I think it's safe to say empress doesn't actually drop them.
I noticed a lot of the items in there came from a special gachapon event(ex: teapots). In this case, she added another list of drops from a gachapon event.
Basically, it archived some gachapon event items, but doesn't actually drop any of this.

...does that mean Nexon added rewards from a special Gachapon to Empress' list of drops somehow? That's kind of a silly mistake to do even if it doesn't have an actual effect to the game.

Not liking the minor keyboard changes. ._.

Portals only work if you stand still when pressing up and the Y/N for NPC dialog suddenly doesn't work. Probably some ninja attempt to block bots but it inconveniences me greatly since I hate using the mouse to talk to NPCs.

It's mostly harder because of the cooldown on impecc. The massive loss of status resistance hurts. Damage isn't too different; there's just a lot more time spent not attacking :/

What loss of status resistance? To my knowledge Phantom didn't lose anything in that department.

The thing I hate the most about this patch is the Y thing. Now I need two hands to do quests? What is this, the stone ages? Honestly there's no reason for this change, you can still NPC chat spam to get into Empress and stuff.

Time for me to get my azz to azwan

I'm curious about the status resistance thing too because they definitely had no nerfs on Bad Luck Ward. And wow, what is even the point of that other change?

It sounds like he was using a stolen skill to cast something to increase his resistances and then switching to a different skill when attacking. The cooldown would affect the switch.

Yeah, Hime said something about it a month ago on the forums about the R somehow getting added in Translations or something.

I'm not talking about the drops. I'm talking about her getting fixed and casting Nado and Fire Phoenix regardless of which direction she's facing. Makes the fight much more exciting.

i don't know if that's "fixed" though, i always thought it was on the same road as PB's facing directions.

Carlos lost something. As far as I know, the only skill difference is not switching combo out for crash.
He went from getting pot lock maybe once a run to like 10-12 times a run. Pigs went from ~1-2 to 15+ etc etc

Don't really see what changed, but I always thought I had more status resist before tempest. Did phantom have some sort of avoid like skill/aspect that got changed? Or maybe the entire status infliction system was changed?

Runs are too close for my liking now. Going to be trying several different ideas I have; see which one works best. Also need to upgrade, stupid rf nerf not hitting max 100% anymore Q__Q b>nx

The event rewards for AB's arrival hot days are so awesome. Character expansion slot coupon, AP full reset scroll, an OMG-kawaii hat for AB, and an 8-slot USE expansion coupon, all on the first day! Second day gives SP full reset scroll, AB's MMB, Trait boost potion, and a lvl 80 weapon for AB.

And those cash items for AB...

Man... Kaiser and Luminous must be turning green at AB now lol

Bad Luck Ward gives 40% status resist and wasn't changed. Then you've got 20% from willpower, 30% from resistance potion, and 20% from the card draw. It's possible that Bad Luck Ward's resist is glitched or something but the only thing that changed in extractions is a max level of 10 instead of 20. At the minimum with a potion he should still be resisting 70%. Any idea what his resist rate seems to be? I don't know when I'll have the time to hit up Empress to test, myself.

It's okay, Kaiser and Luminous. You'll have the last laugh in a few months!

We both have around 70% and that seems pretty accurate.
I'm just confused because it seemed like Carlos had closer to 95% resist before.

Are any other people lagging severely in Azwan? Some of my friends keep on dcing like crazy.

Press escape when you complete the round, and you won't crash. The lag is universal. Just going to have to deal with it until Nexon does something about it.
