Gameplay Updates

As you review the patch notes, you’ll notice numerous changes aimed at enhancing gameplay. From adjustments to mechanics to tweaks in character abilities, these alterations are designed to create a more dynamic gaming experience. Let’s delve into the specifics to see how they’ll shape your journey in the game.


System Updates

WOE Damage Penalty Changes

Type Old Penalty inside the castle: New Penalty inside the castle:
Melee Damage 20% 35%
Long Ranged Damage 20% 35%
Weapon Skills 40% 55%
Magic Skills 40% 55%

Example:  Damage Penalty Inside WOE Maps

Melee Damage:
Old Penalty: 20%
New Penalty: 35%
Example:
Base Melee Damage to monsters outside the castle = 1000 damage
Old Penalty inside the castle: 20% reduction = 800 damage
New Penalty inside the castle: 35% reduction = 650 damage

Long Ranged Damage:
Old Penalty: 20%
New Penalty: 35%
Example:
Base Long Ranged Damage to monsters outside the castle = 1000 damage
Old Penalty inside the castle: 20% reduction = 800 damage
New Penalty inside the castle: 35% reduction = 650 damage

Weapon Skills:
Old Penalty: 40%
New Penalty: 55%
Example:
Base Weapon Skills Damage to monsters outside the castle = 1000 damage

Magic Skills:
Old Penalty: 40%
New Penalty: 55%
Example:
Base Magic Skills Damage to monsters outside the castle = 1000 damage
Old Penalty inside the castle: 40% reduction = 600 damage
New Penalty inside the castle: 55% reduction = 450 damage

During our recent observations, we noticed that players who fight up close were having a tough time, while those using magic and long-range attacks were doing really well. Sometimes, just one hit from them could take out more than one opponent. So, we decided to lower the damage caused by attacks. This means it’ll be harder for close-combat players to get knocked out quickly. Our goal is to make sure they can join battles without always being punching bag and avoid damage 1-hit K.O. This change will make the game a bit different, but hopefully, it’ll make things fairer for everyone.


New Feature

WOE Repair Equipment

We noticed that everyone struggles when it comes to repairing equipment, so we’re introducing the WOE Repair Equipment. With just one click, you can repair all your gear. It’s that simple! And don’t worry, there’s just a small fee for this service.

Introducing the WOE Repair Equipment Menu, now available in the Manual Book during Guild War sessions.

This feature facilitates equipment repair, requiring 20,000 Zeny per use. Simply press the designated button to repair all equipment within your inventory.

Please note: This function is unavailable within castles.

 

Guild Flag Warp

Defending castles can be really tough, so we’ve added a new dimension to help defenders out. We hope it’ll make things easier for you!

Now, when clicking on the guild flag, additional rally warp points will be available:

1. Original Gate of Defend (Rally Point)
2. Emperium (Different spots for each castle)
3. MVP Spot #1 (Different spots for each castle)
4. MVP Spot #2 (Different spots for each castle)
5. MVP Spot #3 (Different spots for each castle)
This enhancement broadens your strategic options by providing multiple warp points, tailored to the layout and challenges of each castle.


Monster Updates

Similarly, we’ve noticed that Emperium has low health, making it difficult for defenders. Therefore, we’ve made a slight adjustment to increase its health.

Emperium

HP Increased from 700 > 888


Skills Updates

Knight

Knights with sword seem to have been forgotten, with many opting for spears or dagger instead. Therefore, we’ve decided to make swords quicker to wield once equipped, encouraging their usage. At the same time, classes that rely on casting have seen an increase in fixed cast time and damage penalties. This change undoubtedly enhances the effectiveness of Knights.

Bowling Bash
When using One-handed sword, cooldown will decrease from 0.5 sec to 0.44 sec, When using Two-handed sword, cooldown will decrease from 0.5 sec to 0.37 sec.

Wizard

The new WOE format has made using Quagmire quite challenging indeed. Its effects tend to be overly disruptive and inconvenient, often affecting guild members and allies. Therefore, we’ve decided to prevent Quagmire from affecting guild members, aiming to improve the role of Wizards.

Quagmire
Will not be affected to the guild member anymore. (Previously affected)

Blacksmith

Tomahawk Throwing hasn’t been widely used, so we’ve decided to improve it. However, it shouldn’t be more powerful than skills used by Hunters or Ninjas, who specialize in long-range attacks. At the same time, damage penalties and fixed cast times have increased for classes that depend on casting. The efficacy of Blacksmith is definitely increased by this modification.

Tomahawk Throwing
Hit increased from 1 to 3 hits, SP usage increased from 12 to 24. (Previously 1 hit, SP 12)

Hunter

Anklesnare can now catch Monks in a single hit, and it won’t affect guild members and allies anymore. This update definitely makes Hunters more versatile, showing that they’re not just about Double Strafe!.

Anklesnare
Will not be affected to the guild member anymore. (Previously affected)

Assassin

Venom Dust is often overlooked, but it’s actually really effective. Applying poison greatly reduces the enemy’s defense and has several other effects. Don’t forget to use it! It’s free, so you won’t lose any zeny. Classes that depend on casting have also experienced a rise in damage penalties and fixed cast times. There is no doubt that this modification makes assassins more effective.

Venom Dust
Will not require Red Gemstone when used in WOE maps.

Monk

This adjustment requires Monks to be more vigilant as they must now be wary of Anklesnare and find ways to avoid it, adding a mini-game element to their gameplay within the castle. With some practice, navigating around this obstacle in the castle shouldn’t be too difficult.

Body Relocation
Cannot be used while under the effect of Anklesnare.

Ninja

Actually, this ninja hasn’t been directly nerfed, but rather, numerous unintended bugs have been addressed. These fixes are based on observations from other official servers. Nonetheless, some skills do require damage reduction because, when compared to other classes, Ninjas can sometimes deal excessively high damage.

Size Modifiers for Huuma Shuriken (weapon size penalty) changed from small/mid/large 100%/100%/100% to 75%/75%/100%

Throw Huuma Shuriken
Fixed a bug where 2 seconds after cast delay wasn’t properly applied.
Damage decreased from 200/450/700/950/1200% to 180/405/630/855/1080%
SP Cost increased from 15/20/25/30/35 to 30/35/40/45/50

Cicada Skin Shed
SP Cost increased from 12/15/18/21/24 to 21/24/27/30/33

Throw Kunai’s
Damage bonus is now dealt in one bundle of 3 attacks instead of 3 hits. (Damage should be roughly the same, minus rounding)
No longer ignore flee

Throw Coins
Reduced range from 9 to 7 cells


Fix Cast Updates

At the inception of our server, we have reducing casting time to expedite combat.
We streamlined the usability of classes reliant on casting by minimizing spell cast durations.
However, with the advent of Gameplay Rebalance V.2
We’re reverted to the original casting times.
Additionally, we will introducing new items designed to optimize casting mechanics,
thereby enriching gameplay with greater complexity beyond mere damage enhancement.
