v.131 - Mark of Honor: Hayato Update Highlights

Oh sweet, even better.
I'm definitely going to try and solo him if possible, though I doubt the normal mode drops anything good right? D:

About Crazy Mode Ranmaru, he doesn't seem to gain any gimmicks really, he looks like he just has boosted stats. Since we have OP Angelic Busters and Kaisers with their Hyper Skills in this server, I don't think it should be much of a problem.

I have no idea what it will drop in GMS. In JMS, it drops one of the items required to craft the pieces of the set (which you need like... 40 of for the full set).

I would love it if he dropped his black fox as a mount coupon. ooooh.

That'd be wonderful.

My low funding warrior equipment is ready

Edit: Can't wait to see how many players will rage quit Hayato because they wanna press just 1 button and kill everything.

dont worry they'll be happy when they go to a boss and get to spam just sanrenzan rai

More likely, they'll spam Shinsoku Musou, which is even worse.

Speaking of... I did some testing at Zakum today. I killed the first body about 10 seconds faster by using Yousousen + Sanrenzan (with mistakes, even) than spamming Shinsoku Musou.

It's kind of hard to measure that, though, since Zakum dies so quickly these days, but the rate of Zakum's HP declining was MUCH slower while spamming Shinsoku Musou than using Yousousen + Sanrenzan.



I couldn't really measure after the first body, because the other two bodies cast Super Weapon Defense Up before they died. It wouldn't have been a very fair comparison. The first body, however, dies so quickly, it's easy to compare the two.

it looks to me like ranmaru's DR is casted every 45(?) seconds. i can't be 100% positive though (i saw 4:17 casted and 5:03 recasted on the third video)
the animation isn't anything special either so time is the next best thing to look for.

According to the extractions, he has a screen crack skill like Arkarium.

I'd imagine that Yousousen would be impractical at many bosses, where having full control of the character is absolutely necessary (like Magnus). In cases like that, how would Shinsoku Musou fare compared to Sanrenzan spam?

According to JoeTang, Mr. DPS Wiz, Shinsoku Musou is detrimental in any and every situation. But for getting Hayato in and out of a situation as quickly as possible, Sanrenzan is most definitely better than Shinsoku Musou, because with Shinsoku Musou, you're stuck there for the full duration of the skill cast, while you have two slashes that you can forego and run the hell away when you're using Sanrenzan.

There's also the issue of ranged attacking. Sanrenzan has a much longer reach than Shinsoku Musou, but it moves you forward as you attack. However, it will stop you from moving if you get too close to the boss, preventing you from receiving touch damage. This is something to watch out for if you're against a mobile boss that can charge at you (like Magnus).

Besides the damage reflect (which seems to hit 50k on one person), a possible one hit ko attack, and seduce, it seems pretty simple. At the very least, you respawn in the same expedition map if you die and there's no death count system in the way.

DAMMIT! Why do all these new classes come out when I have midterms to study for?

Also SC2:HoTS comes out next week D: No way in hell am I playing Maplestory over that. I will patch and make one so I can get the stupid hot day hat thing for it and the link skill, but nothing more than logging in for that >

Sucks that my spring break doesn't start next week. I guess I can always... play Maple during Image Manipulation class.

Hey GMS, if you need to cut out half of the Sengoku era events due to GMS not getting Sengoku Battle, at least toss in some filler events to make the patch less bare-bones. Since those were the events where you could actually farm coins and thus where 95% of coins came from, perhaps replace them with a different coin farming event or adjust them to our Azwen? Or maybe change the prices of rewards/include better ones to compensate for the new coin-getting difficulty (for example, more things that we didn't just get during the last major update)?

Seriously, I know this is a filler patch, but this is just lazy.

Even though I don't really care much about GMS (though I do plan to play for Hayato), I agree. Sengoku Oogassen was definitely where I got most of my coins. It sucks that you guys didn't get those events at all. It sucked shit trying to get coins before I was able to get to Sengoku Oogassen on my Hayato/Kanna in JMS. I couldn't imagine trying to farm them in GMS as it stands.

They're just gonna hype up the rarity of those equips and dump them into Marvel a week later.

I don't even think the term "farming" applies here. You get two pomegranatety daily quests and that's it. 5 coins a day. It's retarded.

My spring break starts whenever I want it to.

Obligatory no hyper skills complaints.

I'll be making a Hayato, by deleting a lv 50 character I have...

Though, if they didn't give a single free slot for when Demon Avenger arrives I'll be quitting. No point in staying in a game I have no chance to keep up with.
