2011 Summer Update

Nexon posted up a high quality slideshow of the conference. (Click towards the sides to proceed with the slideshow.)

Notice the 12th slide. Obviously Athena knows Mercedes. But I wonder what's with the locket (which seems to be related to the Demon Slayer) on the upper right..?

Later pictures also give us a very good look at some of the Dual Bows. They actually look quite nice. Clearer picture of the male version too.

EDIT: The later pictures feature a larger picture of the Demon Slayer with the locket. Looks like the Black Wings wronged his love or something.

Wonny, no!

I think the dual bows look a little weird, the ones in the offhand have wings that stick out at odd angles.

The resistance warrior may likely use axes, look at 22:43 in this video.

Look on the left. He makes a black axe. Maces do not have blades shaped like that.

Well, pineapple. If Demon Slayers use 1/2 hand BWs, my newly bought VIP 2 hand BW wont go to waste at all!

Not quite. It doesnt look like blades at all. It looks like a 2D two headed mallet, with flared edges. Nah, it looks like both really, but the way the attack is, I would say BW, since he is basically letting it drop straight down. If it was an axe, I dont think they wouldd use that kind of attack, it just looks very odd.

Did anyone else think of Castlevania after watching the Demon Slayer look?.

I am for one going to make a Mercedes. I'm in love with that name alone, not to factor in the class' flashiness.

What's the 5% hp/mp thing on slide 23?

Wow....the dual bows look really really bad and do not fit in at all. :bleh:

What's with all the lykas on slide 37?

Slide 42: 20% what? ^_^

Slide 47: 3000 what?

*needy*

it seems that Demon Slayers are using 1 H BW OR Axe so...

It's a blunt weapon. I don't think axes look like this :

It looks more like a blunt weapon to me.

It's 1h, and oddly they equip them in the off-hand. Main hand seems to be used for something else.

EDIT: To settle this once and for all;


That is a Mace. A flanged mace, to be exact. NEXT?

Arans drop a massive axe headed polearm on the ground with combo judgement. Granted, it has a spearhead, but it's not the piercing that deals the damage, it's the shockwave.

I don't see why this can't function similarly.

@Secun: Well that would make sense too, Paladins make swords for charged blow even if they use Blunt Weapons. And F/p wizzies and clerics make bows despite the fact that they use staves/wands.

You know what would be cool?

If the Demon Slayer was in love with Ifinia (Didn't it say somewhere that Van Leon was afraid she was unfaithful?) and after he finds out about the Black Mage's orchestrated attack on Van Leon's civilization that resulted in the death of Ifinia, he swore against the Black Mage.

Then it'll unravel that he finds out the Cygnus took part in the attack as well, which gives him incentive to take down The Empress in future Ereb.

hmmm.. The demon slayer looks more like what resistance mage should be
It looks more logical if battle mage is Mace-yielded warrior

whatever it is I hope it's a new weapon because current axes/bws are ugly imo.

And now we're back to the old STR Mage discussion. I still never understood where they were going with giving Mage equips STR, but that is neither here nor there.

i actually think the slayer will wield a new weapon, why? look at the picture that shows the level weapons, you'll notice the mace/whatever is always the same, but the shield changes colors and forms.

*claps* I like this.

Too bad it's too good for Nexon to use. They'll probably say something stupid and recycled.

I might make a Demon slayer and have its name be a reversed version of my Paladin's! XD

Just realized it can't be Ifinia, because you can make a female demon slayer also.

It could be Ifinia if you make a male demon slayer, and her death drives him against the Black Mage, and Van Leon if you make a female demon slayer, and his descent into dark magic/insanity turns her against the Black Mage?

OMG!! Mercedes looks hot(kinda funny cuz i know a hot Mercedes lol). Definitely making her since im practically in love with archers. Also Demon Slayers look fun. CANT WAIT FOR THIS.

oh my god, im so making that archer. this is the second time i ever got interested in archers... the last time was when windbreakers were announced. PONIES.
