[Translation] Patch Notes 12/3/08

[Sultan]

thanks for translation elliot, its appreciated.

glad to see how fast nc korea reacts to player base. it looks like an OK "nerf" since the damage of the spell remains same huge amount, just the hit rate is decreased.

as for the rangers, as a ranger fan i hope our uselessnes level has decreased with this patch

Thanks Elliot for the translation on the patch notes. It looks like a good patch to me, I also like the EXP gain on quests, it will remove the need to search and do every single quest (and there are lots of quests) if you want to level by questing only (not grinding). And now it's even more rewarding to quest.

Thanks Elliot for translation of the patch notes .

[phyx]

does NCsoft intend to avoid adding more quests by giving old quests more exp reward?

i truly hope this patch note means that NCsoft cares.

Nice to see Nc is being as fast as expected on correct the game problems. But, in my opinion lower only the chance of Hellfire hit isn't enought then really need to decrease it's dmg the skill do in pvp, 1 hit is too crazy to i even need a second tought, it's nuts for an rvr game.

About the Hellfire again this won't be much once the magic has an effect on the ground anyways, sorc can root and let the gyu stay there gettin hited overtime while it plans another combo. There are so many you can do...

[2aimless]

ffs why hellfire on luck now? reduce DMG or increase castingtime/dp costs.

But when it comes to balancing they always look for the dice so everyone has the same chances ...

jump shooting is still in game as they have labeled it as "working as intended" which still makes me laugh. people hate to admit they did something wrong... what a lame way to cover

rangers are still the same... nothing drastically changed. I have no clue why they are not addressing some serious ranger issues in terms of dmg. Lvl 30 dmg skill that is described to do dmg anywhere from 500-700 dmg range does 125-225. Bows that have a higher base dmg range than daggers do less "white" dmg than daggers with lesser base dmg. These are some fundamental issues for a class yet they are not getting addressed... GG paying to play the game at beta stages

God..., GG for you following a game you already hate. Why are you saying that? No one here is paying for this game here, not for the EU/US version because it's still ~3 till 4 months before it's released. So what are you saying? This game is in beta stage? Come on, why so negative? Even if the issues you mention are correct, why not being constructive or wait, the game is released last week. There are MMO's out there, having months and years of development after release, that still are not balanced. And mid-level range balance is even harder or impossible to achieve. Today's patch has already fixed some of the major issues (that are, if you compare it to other recent MMO launches, small in numbers and impact), maybe not for rangers, but if there are problems they will be taken care of. Oh and an other thing, there will always be people who think their class is weak and that will start to complain, but not always for valid reasons.

A class must be good at PvE + PvP + Solo + Group Function + Fun.... all true, but it's never easy and you can never expect it to be perfect from start. Aion is the most solid/polished MMO I have played at release, and I'm playing the Korean version right now.

I think this will be the last time I respond to this kind of posts because in the end, it doesn't matter... does it

whos made??? the korean sorc ????? or we are???? bc in some the games i play ppl that dodge can dodge spells and attacks but if its a AoE then normally they dont dodge it. but resis is diffretn frm dodge the more magic resis u have or ele resis mean that you should take less DMG frm that attack/ele dodge mean u just moved out the way fast enuff

[justamemory]

the sorc are happy at their prioritization until they get the nerf bat, and we are sad until they get the nerf hammer and the devs have no time to be fed up since they're too busy working on what is making us fed up
