Maintenance :: March 2

I'm afraid "dinging" in same day isn't possible, it's abt weeks of tough farming LoL

 

Ahh good ole skeles.
I wish there was a mob to farm that gave good xp to farm too.
Like Neknots, Megaroche, Baum Warriors etc from Iruna.

 

Hope they dont nerf zolban , its the only boss that at least requires skill to fight.

 

there is this "logical" and "natural" way of levelling , its up to you what does those words mean , if u think playing/farming for long hours is not logical way to lvl , welcome to the online game

 

Really? I dinged 120 on my new char in a matter of hours using NC. So if i can do it from lv50-120, i am quite sure a lot of players going from the old cap to the new cap can do it in a few hours of farming NC/ Buying some with their saved up spina.

 

You shouldn't be bothered on how hard to do everything if you really love and enjoy the game. Actually if you just farm stuffs/gears you need to improve your toon xp will come automatically without you being aware of it. You even fortunate maybe you got a farm mage to do stuffs, just imagine if you're a toon that do 1-50 atk on all mobs.

 

Haha oh well in other online games I used play , player use only one character so it felt reasonable somehow~ even if single character took weeks of grinding

 

Same.

 

I know at least 30 players who dinged within 24 hours of the level cap update so it is possible and easy if you use your time wisely instead of just concluding it's hard and takes weeks to do

 

I have some bad news and some good news.
Bad news is he was nerfed.
Good news is that the nerf actually makes him fair IMO. His second pair of wave doesn't tumble anymore, but flinches instead. This means you're not locked into the tumble animation when he wants to do his 30k damage wave.

 

I actually kinda liked the idea of being tumbled because that was what made it all the more reason to be careful..

 

I think the damage output of those pair of waves are enough punishment for failure as is; the boss already requires a very strict timing for most of his moves and those waves can easily shred through a player's HP alone. Also, all of his big attacks are telegraphed, telling you when to dodge (and so, when to not attack). Removing that ability to dodge during one isn't really the nicest thing to do.
Think about fighting games (I could choose many other genres, but it's the first that came to mind). Mistakes are bound to happen during a match, so you'll often get hit as a result. However, now that games have online connection, devs often look for many exploits, one of them being infinite combos (the name is self-explanatory). Why? Because, even if it's your fault if you get hit, it's unfair to make you lose the entire fight if you do a mistake at the beginning. (Oh, and if you throw MvC3 at me, remember that the game was tailored around it, as there are a few ways to prevent infinite combos from being too consequential).

 

Well, that's the thing.
I liked when it was unfair because being punished that severely just made it all the more fun for me even though it was annoying. Besides Shinning Gentleman and Empress, this boss was my favorite when it was released cause of that, haha.

I do understand the reason why it was nerfed.

 

I had no issue with Zolban, as long as I didn't use a long combo. The times I did get knocked out were when I decided that experimenting with damage reduction was a good idea. Turns out there was no way in hell I was going to reduce that much physical damage. Came close with guard, guardian, physical shield...as in 4k over my max hp at a very low chance rate...a redundant endeavour

 

Try 100% guard power if you were tanking =^)

 

Just wait 1-2minth nc price will drop.
When too many nc unsold(supply) price of stuff will drop.
Its coz early when lv cap is raise the (demand)of nc is high.
So just wait a few month and just ask othera dont buy nc for a few month

 

So they nerfed Zolban..... guess Zolbans fight's wont be intense anymore

 

Bit off topic from zolban but now my toram will notify me with updates like "are you off today?" And such trying to prompt me to log on lol, was this always there and I didn't notice?

 

100% Guard power? with a guard rate of 10%?

 

100% guard power 75% guard rate ^^
If cant bother yourself with guard then go for resistance gears (brigandine npc + brigan helm/nure mask + protection + refine C on all def gears + hp = the 30k wave gets reduced to 6-7k enough for survival even with 16-17k hp).
player crafted armors are useless for tanks thats what i learned.
