Guys, I think RED is popular. I can't remember the last time the alliance was this populated. It feels like Christmas.

A real revamp, complete with new skills and buffing them to be as good as other classes. Can you honestly say any of the other adventurer buffs were a real revamp? Come on bro.Quote:

I actually think it's mostly people AFK'ing from the Hot Time earlier today. Just went into Evo and a few runs of MPE, and the new spawn rate was offset by the lag from the population increase today. It felt like normal spawn rate (waiting between spawns in Link 3), and it hurt my heart a little.Quote:

I wanted them to fix town lag but they only made it worse by creating a place you have to go to but will forever get stuck in if you do.

I guess to add to translations:
Magic Crystal = Mana Crystal
Intermediate Spell Essence = Fine Spell Essence
Advanced Spell Essence = Grand Spell Essence
Like Jedward pointed out, they're used in alchemy -- specifically for the "weaker" new potions.Quote:

I got the one I have from one of the new big veins/herbs - I've mined/harvested about 50 total of them (10 ish successfully?) without getting a single brilliant dusk essence or chaos cubic fragment (which are needed for crafting cubes if I understand correctly). So they're gonna take a while to show up in the market, but I think they'll show up more frequently eventually.
You need Dusk Essences to upgrade Aky Rings and Brilliant Dusk Essences to upgrade the Almighty Ring, as well. Sorry, I'll update my guide after finals, because studying and stuff, which is like totally a lie because I'm clearly training a dit right now for a crit ring, but it's a lot of work that I don't want to do right now is all =[

Just yesterday event map started giving me MASSIVE UNBEARABLE lag. Before that it was 100% lagless. Seriously, why not just rewrite Gaga and the other NPCs completely? Remove that useless coding from data.
Towns remain lagless, luckily.
Here's the thing. Normal spawn rate in EVO was ALREADY 4 seconds. That's what made it so good. Every once in a while, you'd get a 'bad' room where spawn was 'normal', but otherwise the spawn rate in Evo has always been 4 seconds.Quote:

Well, logged on to find that my perm Mp and Hp Pouch are now expiring in 2 months....... not happy at all with this. The lag is ridiculous so far in some areas. Not even going to be playing most likely.
I feel like this change has less impact in GMS due to the lack of Additional Options. :(Quote:

Just realized that the new spawn thing = botters generate a lot more mesos.

So as of today, I've been dcing frequently when I harvest ores/herbs. It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying.
Anyone else having an issue with this?
OK. Error 38. I just keep getting it right now. Everytime I try to access my main. Anyone else suffering it?
Most likely not a RED issue... but Corsair may just be the squishiest class I've ever played. I thought I was using potions as a Thunder Breaker but holy... I actually had to leave Evo World 5 minutes before my time was up because I ran out of gingers. 4 hits and I was in death zone. And this is with evo rings, link skills, and character cards. I'd hate to see how much damage I would be taking without those.

Same. Es no bueno. I got to the 5th part with the flying mobs, and they kept spawning while lag kept the dead ones alive until the meter filled up and I failed. Pshh, not like I wanted to finish the round anyways, Nexon.Quote:

I lag like I've never lagged before though, only downside from the patch.
So I've visited back my Bucc to see the changes.
Flash Jump?? Not bad. Hmm, no additional damage reduction

HOLY F***! THIS is truly a Kamehameha.
Double Blast is amazing...dat long distance
I am thoroughly enjoying my Paladin now. I am used to cycling charges and the Blast buff, even though the system isn't quite fluid, in my opinion. Simply bringing my equips over from my Hayato, I'm already doing 1.3m per line of Lightning Charge, whereas my Hayato can manage only 500k per line of Shinsoku (no boss dmg hyper yet). He's sitting at 87% crit rate now, too, so I don't even need to pick up the crit hyper on Blast. Oh, and that 1 damage thing... MMMMM it's so nice.
However, I am quickly falling out of love with my once-beautiful and trusty BM. How do you even play this crap now?
I wonder if it ends up being the longest distance attack in the game. Not even my other Pirate laser attacks reach so far.Quote:

I don't know why I only take 1 damage. Even with Parashock Guard on, I only take 1's on most things. I don't find macros useful for me, but you might. They will work, but you can't spam the macro, or it will start the cycle over with the first one instead of going through the first macro and then starting the new one. I find the timing bothersome and would rather just press four keys. But really, most of the time, I just cycle between Lightning and Divine Charges to get my passive going. No need to resort to Fire or Ice unless I want their added benefits, such as a DoT or whatever.Quote:

Dat deceptively wide range. And it seems to be a little longer. Your hit is right at the pole. The target that I hit was around the white shirt. However, it's true I can't rocket jump and laser, or even Pirate Flash Jump and laser.Quote:

Well, my I/L Archmage is doing nicely. Just have to get her 15 more levels to get the Crit Ring.
She was absolutely destroying Nett's Pyramid for 85-94. Able to hold two rows on her own without any Link Skills or Evolving Rings. (Things I gave her after hitting 100, she needs them for Evolving World.) Only level 30 Empress' Blessing and gear I picked up.
Feeling somewhat burned out from all the grinding on my Hero (143-167) and her (1-115) though. I might just do two Evolving World runs a day with the daily 2x EXP buff to get her through the remaining levels, then just get the 20 daily RED coins and attendance events until Zero.

I started a new F/P for that Crit Ring and F/Ps are way easier to train in 2nd job. Granted, people really exaggerated how bad 2nd job was for F/Ps but I do wish F/Ps were like this from the very beginning.
Because there had to be a late Black Friday sale on items in the FM too.Quote:

I had the same issue. I think it might be because I deleted a character to make the new explorer, although that character was a level 10 Noblesse and hadn't claimed any medals yet. Anyway, at some point entirely at random, after many relogs and cc's and a couple job advances too, I cc'ed and suddenly all those red notices piled up at the bottom of the screen and I got the medal. I have absolutely no idea what made it suddenly work.Quote:

I remember getting all my medal reward things at once after I accepted or finished one of those notification quests. Forget which one.
Hurricane was the first thing I maxed when I finished assigning SP into 2nd job. I love the new animation, but I can't see it when I'm standing on top of my turret thingie.Quote:

Bleh I got an ugly penguin, ALL my mule acc got either a cake or a pie, 5 mule acc total). O man I REALLY REALLY wanted a perm cake, or at least a pie ( its ok, dont like it as much as cake)

What you guys are experiencing is what my guild would call a 'bad room' where the spawn is in the 6-8 second range. It would happen to me once every 3-4 runs on a normal day, but on the high population days it would be more often for sure. Hard to speculate exactly what causes it directly since EVO is a separate server, but it gets all of us eventually.Quote:

The other screenshot I find hilarious because it's commerci at "night", yet you can clearly see sunlight beaming down from a bright blue sky with clouds, underneath the "nighttime layer"
Those eye and face accessories will be awesome for upgrading away from Mystic equips.

I don't mind this RED update.
Love the free pets <3 Bit sad that I got a Duck instead of the Pie/Cake but it's cool.
Also the piles of events that were added.. Sigh no break ):
I am also happy with the no town lag (Been stuck with town lag over a year or so) though.. I can't be in any map that Cassandra resides in - Rein, Aqua, Event hall. </3 Pretty sure the town lag will come back to me after whatever event.
As for NL skills. Dayum. I'm loving my NL again. Bit weird to have the stars fly all over but yeah.
Shad class was alright. Not sure of the Meso Explosion skill being glitched or not. Semi-alright to have mesos flying around I guess. Haven't tried the other classes to see what the skills look like yet.
The animations for the explorer classes are pretty neat.
I had the same issue, but once I got to lvl 20 I could collect the medals, specifically the next legend.Quote:
