Actually I have a friend that plays CMS and they didn't get Luminous until well after we got him. (I also got to hear his voice in CMS... he has the weakest laugh of all the versions.)
GMS version is correct as that is how it is addressed in other versions.
Edit: Just checked for a date. they got Luminous somewhere around 28th of January this year.

because i want to play it like hows its supposed to. i actually like the idea between switching elements to improve my DPS.
GMS completely ruined it with the cooldown and buffed light skills.

But, guess what? KMS designed the GMS Luminous as people in this thread and other threads have stated.
Stop blaming GMS, start blaming KMS.

Regardless of who got it first, the fact remains that KMS DID design the Luminous that is currently out now.  Anyway, this was my reaction when I saw the 'patch notes':
They updated two days before the patch for once!
They even got most of Phantom's nerfs right!
...wait...
*Insert screaming here*
Also, why are they selling 3x coupons when DA isn't even out until May 15th? We don't need that for mules, Monster Park Extreme is good enough.

The main issue is really the significant decreases in single-target DPS for the GMS version - you will almost never, never, use Dark mode for that matter, because they buffed GMS Spectral Light until Reflection is rubbish in comparison. 180 second cooldown versus 60-90 second gauge charging for KMS version means that you pull off so much more damage with Absolute Kill when bossing. It is a big deal when bossing.
But if you're grinding/mobbing/training, the GMS version is more practical because you don't have to keep changing playstyle to fit the mode. Reflection and Apocalypse have different mechanics which can be good and/or bad.
Also note that in GMS, the gauge has no real purpose except for using Equilibrium, which is dumb because when you are bossing you only use one mode (Light, for Spectral Light), so giving us a system with 5 bars of Light/Dark points to fill up is useless the moment you hit level 150, and get Equalize. Dual-equilibrium allows you to use Light mode exclusively and access Equilibrium without having the damage penalty of the Dark mode.
Shout to Nexon: lower our cooldown for Equilibrium - even 150 seconds is good but 90/120 seconds make much more sense. And do something like... every bar in the Light/Dark gauge increases damage by x%, rather than being there for the sake of... being there.

I think you guys know this already, but they released the patch notes part 1.
And it seems to follow KMS's unlimited patch, phantoms are nerfed pretty bad.

You mean Tempest patch. I had a feeling Phantoms were getting nerfed during v 1.30 after seeing the Tempest Support event and I am sad to be proven correct.

You mean more like 20 sec, not 60-90

As you can see its obvious why they had to nerf the buff duration on it.

Annnnnnnd? This gives you a valid reason to blame GMS? Because it doesn't.
You're saying you want to play Luminous as it is intended to play, but the fact that not one single version has gotten the first KMS Luminous means that the version you hate so much is the version that KMS intends for you to play.

They don't have to nerf it to death. That is but a poor example of a Lumi with poor control.
JoeTang would need to do more numbers in the near future to consider the real DPS of a Luminous with some degree of control and timing.

Butthurt? Wow, I haven't heard that in ages, at least now I know why you're acting immature.
And no, I am not getting "butthurt" over this, getting annoyed by how childish and uniformed you're acting about the how thing is more like it.
