    Apollyon NW Magic resist boost (9/16/08)

    Few people did a NW run just now, apparently there's about a 200 ish dmg penalty on successive nukes on a mob. They're vets at clearing the zone low-man manaburn, and ended up @ last boss with only 10 minutes left. And something about Apollyon Scavengers hitting their rdm for over 300.

    There has always been much less damage for nukes right after other nukes in this zone, are you sure they changed it? I always noticed this but thought I was crazy, maybe those BLMs are now too just noticing D;

    Something not about Apollyon but related to Limbus. We got like half the normal haul of coins from Temenos Central Floor 3, like 25 coins vs the normal 50 we used to pull from that, don't know if that was something ninja changed or not. Also did that Yagudo hit a PLD for 800+ crits before? Shit was slapping me around tonight.

    <_< Maybe SE wanted to screw everyone over even more and halved both entrance fees and drop rates of currency/ABC?

    Occasionally yes

    My group got 45 coins from Central 1st Floor last night, which is pretty normal.

    My group did a 6-man NE run last night skipping roughly half of floors 1-4 (no item chest on 2, skipping 3 entirely). We netted 43 coins which is outstanding for the amount we cleared. I don't think any changes were made.

    Welcome to 2 years ago? 200 for successive nukes sounds normal... and 300 hit on an unbuffed rdm is low damage... why are they getting hit by bugards?

    Gonna test later, but I really doubt anything changed.
