August Update

[Lordwafik]

LW, do you remember a Hume Female DRK named Star? She used that one.

DRK/RDM! I guess I'm in such a state of shock that my memory erased itself of it.

[Ahnuld]

From the KI thread :

Does anyone know anyone who actually uses this character?

a DRG PLD on Lakshmi named Kabbalah uses that model.

[Volken]

Think a Nerf on TP burns is going to be added in this Update?

Why would you even think this, because people talked about it in a thread here?

Because they talked about adjusting the difficulty of mobs to make Black Mages in Melee parties more viable. Stop being a retard please. Thank you.

Are you retarded enough to think they'd change every monster that TP burns merit on for the sake of blm invites? Thank you.

[Keno]

No they wouldn't, but they could change the jobs so that after the first TP attack subsequent TP attacks do half damage, then a fourth damage, etc.

[Hanyoko]

I'm fully expecting that crown to be the mission reward. I'm predicting it will be something along the lines of....

[Naja] Well, you finally deserve this glory crown. Now where did I put it?
[Abquhbah] Help Naja find the crown!
[Naja] I remember I was wearing it when I was visiting ___________
*visits place to find NPC*
[NPC] Was this what your looking for?
*shows item* with yes/no prompt
(depending on NPC and location different ones show with different stats/bonuses like previous rewards)
If no selected go back to Naja and repeat the visit with another random selection from the list.
If yes selected, you get it with whatever stats are listed.

Potentially you will have to pay naja some gold for her to 'remember'.

Don't even joke about something so sick. If SE really did adjust the difficulty of mobs for black mages like they mentioned, it would only be a change to a few camps, and that's not even close to a TP burn nerf.

[Aldaris]

Hopfully there will be a fun BC with Odin vs Alexader or somthing along those lines. I'd like to see how this unfolds.

[Rocl]

I really hope it isnt that freaking crown

[Izzy]

Essentially the EXACT same thing they did to BLMs. I would assume they'd do it after the 3rd WS because you need 2 WS to make a SC and they wouldn't wanna nerf that.

It would be if the few camps they changed just happened to be, coincidentally: colibri, mamool staging point, caedarva, mamook, deco weapons, ulli statues, nexus statues, uleguerand, KRT, and bibiki.

[Septimus]

It'll be something shitty and generic for all jobs, like, HP+1% MP+1%

HERRO HALLOWEEN EVENT HAT!

Hey, I love my Coven Hat. May Galka WHM gets somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 HP from that hat, it makes for delicious devotions.

This is where I put my fingers in my ears and start singing.

In higher levels, a balanced party setup that skillchains and magic bursts struggles to gain experience points in comparison to a heavy melee party, which can kill enemies much faster and quicker. An
experience point bonus to successful Skillchains could help a more balanced setup of players earn levels and merits. Do you have plans to make skillchain/magic burst parties more attractive?

::lots of commotion between them:: This is very long answer, but the jist of if is, yes we realize that right now some people cannot get parties right now because it is easier for melee parties to kill monsters, and so we are thinking about doing some adjustments. There will be an overhaul when the new jobs come out because we want to make them balanced with the others. We will also balance the existing jobs to work with those. When that balance occurs, there will be some adjustments made, and hopefully that will make some of the other jobs more attractive and alleviate some of the melee parties. By doing these types of adjustments, we will have to make some of the monsters stronger.

Stop posting.

Stop trying, it wouldn't be a TP burn nerf even if they did what they said.

[Taj]

Right, so by your logic, the Aern Elemental patch wasn't a Manaburn nerf because it only affected one of the Manaburn camps. Nevermind the fact it was the best manaburn camp. If they nerfed Colibri TP burns, how would that not be a TP burn nerf?

They could make the mobs stronger by making them resistant to TP attacks after the first two. Thats what they said when they did the BLM nerf. They were gonna "adjust mobs strength to elemental magic" not "We're gonna nerf BLM's"

It would be a Colibri camp nerf... just like the Aern nerf. Black mages weren't changed between aern smns -> aern nerf.

A Colibri camp nerf would mean that 20k/hr would no longer be easily attainable, and there would be three less camps for TP burns to merit in. Mire is always overcrowded and there's only two decent Mamool camps. That means TP burns would have to go back to subpar stuff like Trolls in Mount Zhayolm. A Colibri camp nerf is a TP burn nerf.

Isn't the pit like, an event inwhich you battle monsters? Or did I just get whooshed by rumours.

Nice body Sath LoLgimp.

The Pit is for Pokemon battles.
