<b/>Eureka!


Here in Dr. Bing’s Lab - that’s right, MY lab - I’ve reverse engineered the cellular structure of the latest batch of bugs, and I have completely eradicated them as of March 26, 2014! I’m one step closer to my goal of complete bug extermination, but my robot minions are still analyzing data on these other bugs.

Functionality:

• Closing the “Character Info” window with the “Pet Item Ignore” window open will no longer cause a crash.
  
• Players are now able to enter their Monster Life farm without issue.
  
• Magnus’s “Green Lightning” attack will now only deal damage after its animation completes.
  
• Monsters near the map “Outside of Chryse” will now drop Crusader Codex cards.
  

Map:

• The Maple Administrator NPC can now be found in Kampung Village.
  
• The “Quick Move” feature for CBD now includes “Dimensional Mirror” and “Monster Park Shuttle.”
  
• Cassandra, the Maple Administrator, and Gaga have been removed from CBD.
  
• Cassandra, the Maple Administrator, and Gaga have been removed from “The Center Hall” in Aquarium.
  

Class-Specific:

• The Kanna skill “Falling Sakura” will no longer cause the client to disconnect when used against Gollux’s head.
  
• The Jett skill “Triple Fire” now correctly fires 3 bullets instead of 2.
  
• Using the skills “Paralyze”, “Poison Breath”, “Teleport”, “Flame Haze”, and “Myst Eruption” will no longer cause the client to disconnect.
  
• The Bowmaster skills “Final Attack: Bow”, “Advanced Final Attack”, and “Armor Break” will now work properly with the skill “Arrow Blaster.”
  
• Beast Tamers are now able to receive the “Animal Reset Scroll” from “A Guardian’s Blessing.”
  
• The skill “Arrow Blaster” will no longer cause a disconnection to occur.
  
• The Kanna skill “Monkey Spirits” will no longer be affected by Damage Reflect when triggered by “Blackhearted Curse.”
  

Quest:

• The quest “Lost in Translation 2” can now be completed.
  
• The quest "Defeat Krexel" is now correctly not repeatable.
  

Items:

• ”Sweetwater Crossbow”, “Sweetwater Twin Angels”, and “Sweetwater Bow” now give additional STR instead of LUK.
  
• The “Scroll for Sweetwater Two-Handed Weapon” can now be used properly after applying the “Sweetwater Lucky Item Scroll” to a weapon.
  

Text:

• The World Map now displays the correct name for “Stone Colossus”

• There is no longer a typo present in the dialogue for the quest “Back to Base 2.”
  

Art:

• There is no longer a visible gap in the background graphics at the top of the Event Hall map.
  

Magnus's green attack is finally fixed! Hallelujah!

The Maple Administrator NPC can now be found in Kampung Village.
Cassandra, the Maple Administrator, and Gaga have been removed from CBD.

Am I the only one who finds these funny? That's what happens when bugs stay on the list so long that design changes make them irrelevant... but nobody tells the coders assigned to fix them.
(Cassandra and Gaga are still present in Kampung Village, btw)

Confirming Magnus' attack being fixed

time to solo, rip cape prices (especially if those tickets work)

The Kanna skill “Monkey Spirits” will no longer be affected by Damage Reflect when triggered by “Blackhearted Curse.”

WOOT FINALLY!

Cassandra, the Maple Administrator, and Gaga have been removed from “The Center Hall” in Aquarium.

Oh my god I can finally buy potions there.

If only they did this to Ereve and Rien. ;;

magnus's sword dash has a really really really messed up hit detection

Blade Clone is still broken >__> and Nexon managed to somehow merge the old Bloody Storm animation with the new one instead of replacing it, it looks really stupid now:

I thought they completely fixed town lag in a previous patch?

Just killed him and not sure what you're talking about. It works like it always has for me.

Hahahahaha

Hahahahaha

Messing around on hard magnus he would charge up his sword and right as he'd dash i'd get hit.

It's been like that for ages. Sometimes it works like it should, sometimes it doesn't.

Sounds like more of an annoyance than something fatal

Well ya it's much better than instant loludead lightning. Just never happened to me before.

That's what it said then, yeah!

However, I still get it. Granted it's not as bad as it was a year ago or so. I still lag like hell in Rien though, lol...

The Sweetwater Archer weapons do have the right base stats, but my Sweetwater DBG still has 95 LUK instead of STR.

On another note, Commerci solo Trade Voyages seemed to be ninja-fixed. Grosso Polpo only has one area where it can be hit now, as opposed to the 2 to 3 that were there before.

I'm not sure if it was the Monster Farm issue stated, but visiting multiple farms no longer accumulates memory (via memory leak?) such that one can hit 1.5GB+ and eventually disconnect. Although some farms still cause memory spikes, it gets released relatively quickly.

hmm i never noticed this.

The Jett skill “Triple Fire” now correctly fires 3 bullets instead of 2.

haha this. I think when i played it when it came out i saw that it only fired 2 and i thought it was intentional. but that skill is never used anyway...
but for them to only notice it now and fix it like years later, hahaha funny


as for town lag, its only partly fixed. there seem to be different stages of badness of town lag. like half way through red it began to affect me, but that problem was resolved. i suppose other people are still unable to access those maps though

That's because the change only effects newly obtained ones. Any ones existing from before the patch still give DEX/LUK instead of STR/DEX, you'll have to Innocence it to restore the stats or get a new one.

Eh, 50 STR isn't worth the pain of scrolling a new Empress DBG and transposing again. Just thought it was a point of interest, since my DBG shows (45+8) STR and (0+95) LUK now.
