v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Notes

f'uck is this?



nexon making us wait to get drops, now we have to wait to enter?

yo we heard u like waiting so we made u wait so u can wait

What is even the point in this? What does this deter? It's not like hackers even have a chance at failing the fucking boss in the first place. Does stalling a weekly double kill by 30 minutes really do anything other than piss off the player? No, I really doubt it...

And they didn't remove the need of mules/wait til -15min left, either. So Magnus was only changed to the worse

Anyone else not having their SAO Dungeon clears count? I'm still at 0 clears and 0 boss kills despite completing the free run twice and getting my box.

Hmm, possibly related, after I failed a premium dungeon today, when I checked my dungeon clear info, everything was zero'd out, however after I successfully completed my next run, all my clears were accounted for again.

Hm, that might be it, I had actually failed a premium run as well.

Also, there seems to be an exploit with Luminous on Mr. Lee's Island. Supposedly using the Aurora Prism to go to Harmony, then leaving there, returns you to the island with the timer removed.

whats the difference between premium/Regular? Regular is a cakewalk and I don't have NX/coins to get premium yet. Is it harder? Like, requires a party harder?

The normal mobs have slightly more HP and damage, while the boss is noticeably increased. There's also an extra rabbit in the Crocky map as well.

Um, it's a bit harder, the main problem being that the monsters have loads more HP, but you get 3 extra pots from another bunny that spawns in the crocs map. (As an aside, if you bring more people, that's less pots for each person)

Since the boss has loads more HP, it takes quite a bit more time, requiring a lot more dodging and pot conservation.

 Spoiler

I've completed it with the skull thingy, failed on the minotaur, and have yet to meet the reaper.

They're a lot easier to dodge than I first thought, at least for skull and minotaur, you can walk a step away, be out of their attack range, but still be in range for your attack to hit. (I was flash jumping away from every attack, intially). Reaper's a bit different, a regular scythe swing sends out a projectile, so you probably have to jump for that, and glowy scythe requires you to move away further than your attack range, I think.

With practice, it's probably solo-able.

Can you even get anything good for the SAO dungeon in Normal mode? All I've got is a spell trace, two str boost potions and a fortitude boost potion. I don't even really care about the SAO equips themselves, but can you get anything decent out of the boxes that's usable? Since I'm asking, how are the familiars? Anything good on them?

Seriously the pineapple are the names "Fatal Scythe" and "Skull Reaper". You could literally swap the names on the bosses and they would still be relevant (they both have visible skulls and both use scythes)

They are pretty damn lazy enemy designs. The... skeleton one is the only unique one, but then it has the aformentioned problem of not being able to remember which one it is.

It's to be expected from such a terribly written and terribly thought out show though.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the other bosses? I've gotten gleaming eyes (minotaur) eight times in a row. I've not even fought the skeleton thing yet.

Edit:

Just bad luck or...?

My friend got the perm Yui cape on her first normal (and only) normal run and I think other people have gotten the 30 day safety charm.

Anyone in Broa wanting to team up for Premium runs? I just want to get the medal, but I don't exactly have coins to waste trying it by myself anymore.

Idk, it was very similar to my experience really. Took 14 runs to get them all

Now done 21 runs and still nothing permanent as reward.

[MENTION=12777]Invulgo[/MENTION]; and [MENTION=13350]TidusLoveYuna[/MENTION]; thanks for the feedback. Nice to know I'm not the only one having a bit of trouble getting different bosses lol :x

Thanks to the BW event, my BW is now my highest level character, so sad... Only 6 more levels til I get that ring though!

I keep getting stupid potions and the 45 day fairy thing. I have gotten 2 of the permanent red armor things though. It's nice to have, but nothing since then.

I did the level 120(?) Cygnus Knights quest that gave the Empress an upgrade recently. Shinsoo said they gave me something, which I assume was only the Call of Cygnus skill and nothing else? Shinsoo's dialog during the quest said something about an element-related thing not being needed, I think? While looking up the quest online, there would be another skill given called Elemental Expert, is that skill no more or something?

It's a beginner skill
