Gameplay Update 2.0 : War of Emperium

Balance Changes

Merchant

We felt that Blacksmiths performed too well in the First War event that we just held. 3×3 AoE skill that can be spammed is just too good and does not match with Blacksmith’s single target damage dealer identity.
However, we still think it is a good thing to for merchants to have in PvE environment if they want to spend their zeny.

Mammonite

Splash Area: 1 cell around primary target -> single target in PVP areas.

Knight

Knights did not perform up to our expectations in the First War event. But a tank with too much damage is the last thing we want to have running around.
After a few experiments we decided to go with a subtle cooldown decrease first. We will continue to monitor how they perform and continue to adjust this class accordingly.

Brandish Spear

Cooldown: 1 second -> 0.75 second

Bowling Bash

Cooldown: 1 second -> 0.75 second

Hunter

Hunter performed according to our expectations in both PK areas and the First War. However, we felt that invisible trap is a little too hard to deal with in the game’s current state.

Trap skills

Visibility: Hidden -> Always shown

Final GM thoughts

In this week’s patch, aside from the new contents, the development team is focusing on addressing bugs and annoyances our players have reported. We are also looking closely at the WoE balances.
With 2-2 classes still not released, we are taking a careful approach on 2-1 classes to prepare for the eventual release of 2-2 classes. Those will shake things up for sure.

I hope you enjoy dressing your character up and also get stronger from costumes in our Malangdo Island release. Also, some facilities on the island are not released, yet. Please wait for our official announcements when they come out.

Signing off, Maru.
