RED update thoughts and feedback

Do you have a character on your account that has one of the old adventurer crit rings from years ago? If so, could you try to wear this new ring and the old one at the same time to see if it works? If it isn't too much of an inconvenience.

Hey! My friend actually had the old critical ring and they do stack

Looks like I have quite a few. Wish I knew about this before I went ahead and blew most of my money on some books.....

And yes, the new books obtained by Maple Admin are tradeable and do not expire. Make sure you trade in all of your unusable books before the event ends.

If you have a mule with tons of books, just talk to her and she'll list all your unusables in your inventory.

not sure how I feel about Paladins being yet another neutral-element warrior now.

The new elemental attack system is kinda neat though. (charge up elements, then blast to gain a big buff, then charge for even more buff)

The damage range buff is nothing if not ridiculous. Base range 27k (350 w.atk) -> buffed range 64k. Or, on the Hammer, 20k -> 51k.

 Interestingly, Zero's Gratias isn't on the list yet. Maybe it stacks too?

now let us never mention this again so that it may be kept a secret, in case this is a bug.

Wow, Revolution weapons seem to be fully tradeable. Looks like my VIP Dagger just became a novelty...

The free daily 2x EXP and Drop buffs can be gotten on each character, by the way. Not a once per account thing. And they do not expire.

These events are awesome. Well worth waiting an entire day of maintenance.

I lost most of my hype when commerci was pushed back (wanted them 160 equips mon)

but anyway, is anyone else receiving hardcore lag over at the Event hall? Please don't tell me im the only one.

Unfortunately, the buffs WILL disappear if you log out (even if you did not use them) and they cannot be claimed again that day. I advise that everyone use them ASAP before you d/c inevitably.

My client just bugged out. When I log into a character, there is no UI besides the bars at the bottom, and I cannot move or open windows until I press the ESC key. My event notifiers and minimap are COMPLETELY gone. Gonna try completely closing the client and reopening.

EDIT: Closing and re-opening the client fixes this issue, if anyone else runs into it.

What did you leave out then? Only thing I could reasonably say should be dropped is Muspelheim.

I would personally leave out Midnight Carnival since Phase Dash is useful for rushing, Assassinate is better than Carnival 1v1, and Bstep + Savage Blow is better when it comes to mobbing. The only things I think Carnival are still useful for are generating coins (bstep+SB might have that beat while mobbing, assassinate > meso explode 1v1) and for killing event bosses are are fixed damage. Neither of those require high damage, which is the only thing that maxing Carnival provides.

It's actually possible to have all skills maxed, however, if you use the Leafre codex set (or another other +1 skill level ability) and distribute SP more evenly.

I've been getting town lag from Event Hall and Rien (Forgot to move the problematic NPCs.) and I NEVER got town lag before the update.

And it would appear I could have gotten all the skillbooks necessary for my Hero without spending a dime all along, and I wasted 44 million of the 50 meso I had. God dammit.

.....Eh, it's not like I really spent meso on anything else besides the trinity of EW cores because I couldn't actually afford anything. I've been living off free potions from event boxes (Lots of Reindeer Milk.) and Silent Crusade for some time now.

Okay, some overview on the characters I have... I haven't actually tested anything on mobs/bosses, though.

 Bishop

Nice new animations. I like the fact that Dispel is way better and now we have a shield that blocks status changes, just like Lumi's (although it only blocks it once).

Now Angel Ray kind of sucks, apparently. The way to go is Genesis + Big Bang.

 Corsair

BOAT! And FJ! AND SLOTS! Triple shot now has the SFX of 3 normal shots instead of 3 real bullet SFX.

Recoil Shot is spammable now, which is great, since Wings still sucks major ass: the gliding part practically NEVER activates. I only got it to work 2 or 3 times and I have no idea how I did it. Just use FJ or cancel Dash into Wings+Recoil for vertical+horizontal movement.

Headshot got a major buff and is probably the best bossing attack alongside the mighty BOAT. Eight Legs Easton and Rapid Fire are just okay, apparently.

It seems like a lot of skills are DCing sairs so I didn't test them much more than that.

 Buccaneer

FJ and a better energy charging system. And slots.

Now we can use any skill with or without Energy Charge, which is pretty neat.

 Shadower

We can't use Phase Dash while jumping anymore... but at least it has a new animation

New Meso Explosion animation. It doesn't make a lot of sense but it's way better than the old one. Savage Blow's animation is so lame compared to what it used to be and Steal's animation is still pretty dull

Assassinate feels MUCH better. The last hit doesn't push you forward anymore, which is great. Now you can save the last hit for whenever it is better to use it, and you don't need to do the first 3 hits again to activate the last hit because they work in a cycle: press Assassinate key= 3 hits, press it again = last hit, press it again = 3 hits and so on.

Dark Flare now has at least 60 sec of cooldown but it's actually better: it attacks nonstop AND attacks when you're hit (supposedly). I didn't test the new Meso Explosion.

Okay... I'll get the rest later. So much stuff to move around and plan right now

I can't seem to get the sengoku skill after the patch... not sure if it's a bug or I'm doing something wrong.

In the update patch notes it says "Totem slots added to Character equip tab."

This may be why they are not being recognized by the NPC.

Yeah, I realized that after, "Click, enter. Move on to the next skill..." Hoping for a free SP reset now, lelz.

For 1v1, Meso Explosion just once, provided there's enough coins lying on the ground, gives five killing points immediately so Carnival Edge still has a slight advantage on coin buliding there.

you are equipping the totems.. thats the problem.. read again what Oda Nobunaga says :3


OT: RED is amazing, My easy mode magnus solo time got A LOOOOOOOOOT better, I finally surpassed my best friend, (he was a hero, with lower range yet outdamaging me by a lot)... I got ranked gloves on dojo, im so happy *-*

my shad is a lot more fun, but im changing him to a NL

also my pally got an insane range increase xD

Made a new Bucc.

I love everything about it now. Flash Jump makes the experience so much more bearable.

The charge up system is waaaay better now.

Mystery Special Mastery Books now give you the choice of a 20/30 book.

max slots is 30, get more slots yo

Oh I never knew they increased it, that's me sorted for the future then.

After using my Bucc for the attendance: holy crap, so much better now.

While training you're practically 100% of the time in charged mode, if you have Stimulating Conversation, that is. FJ is awesome and the new animation for the energy charge is much cooler now.

Corkscrew Blow feels so weird now, though. I know it's been delayed so it can actually hit after Spiral Assault but still... not having it rush anymore is kinda lame IMO. I'd rather have a normal rush attack + old school CSB instead of this weird skill chaining that always result in you receiving touch damage.

eww, the ring may not say it, but trying to put the pivot ring in the storage has it claim that it can only be moved once, that's just gross.

All of my NOPE

All of my NOPE

didn't put it in however, maybe [MENTION=13176]Night[/MENTION]; can tell us if it truly gets tradeblocked
