The long awaited balance patch is finally here. Major changes to the existing Adventurer job. Although… This is just part one~
Nexon said in a Q&A that they will buff up Arch Mage and Paladin as well.HERES SOME INFO FOR WHEN THE NEXT BIG PATCH IS COMING OUT (most likely evan)Summary of the Q&A:
* Windowed mode coming soon if no problems are coming to the surface.
* When asked if they will make Adventurer stronger, they said a balancing patch is scheduled for January.
* The Arch Mage will probably get a skill rebalance (because you have to agree that the Arch Mage is weak) along with Shadower and Paladin.
* There was a question about the ”one-kill” skill of the Bishop and Arch Mage. But this question couldn’t be answered. Changing everything at one time is asking for problems.
* They say it’s best to balance the jobs first than releasing high leveled content first. High leveled content for 100 is planned after this.
* The reason that the new EXP party formula exists is because with the old formula it was unfair to get EXP by not playing the game correctly. You need to put effort in gaining EXP. They are not planning to change the formula.
* There are no plans to make Pink Been weaker. They thought that the players would have killed Pink Been in 4 months.
* Eliminating bots (automatic macro program) is one of their priorities.
* Adventurers, Knights of Cygnus, Aran and Evan cannot share the Cash Shop because when the Pirate job was released, they did not make a lot of money from it while spending a lot of time for development. Money is just required. They are still thinking if they should unite the Cash Shop among Adventurer and Knights of Cygnus.
* In March there will be a really big patch.
Any comments?
