Shit and more shit. I hate this update.

[jaded]

Not a bad patch considering it helps the most popular (pre-9x) leveling spot and nerfs SE guardians.

:no1: imho.


i hope they actually fixed the guardians, instead of "somewhat" reducing their ATK rating by like 10 or something stupid. lol.

[Odium]

Better than nothing i guess, and yay no more 1 shot guardians
Now it they unabled eske boss protocol monsters...

[Batman]

Interesting update. Of course, Eske will still bring them to 1 hit KO, most likely.

EDIT: Odium beat me to it

[crash]

I'm going to LOVE not taking 6k spear booms from off screen.

[Shadow]

Fuck, stop crying about guardians, cry about merging servers so they do that instead.

[Batman]

So are they gonna change assaulters to brute, since everything else is? Maybe they should make dragon tails into brute as well. Hell, everything else on the surface is.

Might as well make Gazeti's formless too. Then Sin's can cloak right by them.

Just stupid. Yeah, the guardians are a nuisance but there should be some hinderance.

SinX's and LK's to demi human too.

[Ahina Reyoh]

They should've made the Imps boss-type instead, heh.

[Aimee Z]

comment 1- gm's are like current educators and parents. oh poor wittle baby... let me make this easier for you since you fail too much. i'll make the big bad baddie in thors formless so you don't have to shield switch.

comment 2- about time cause woe 2.0 guardians are too overpowered

[Nivawk]

Aww come on, how about fixing some of the stuff that actually NEEDS fixing? It's not like guardians being a different race stopped TKMs from getting 100m an hour anyway, so what's the point? They nerfed 2.0 guardians but still haven't done anything about those shitty barriers that die in 1 SG. >_>

[Dunno]

Minus beret and combat knife, perfect.

Should've made them formless too /pif

[Mint]

It's a nice change for people who actually level characters.

[jaded]

Because the majority of people in thors have mastered their characters.


The point is that at least they're taking suggestions and changing the game in a positive way.

[Aimee Z]

It's a nice change for people who actually level characters.

i self-slaved my luck dex gypsy at thors just fine, thank you. she's the mc slave gypsy meaning she has shitty pvm stats and drops easily and has a shitty sp pool.

people who can't handle it (like shield switching)- lawlz. would that be any of you?

so i'm in a career that has progressively made things easier and easier for people. examples... late assignments must be accepted and given full credit. students caught cheating must be given the chance to retake an assessment cause their choice to cheat was something behavior based not knowledge based. ie- maybe they chose to cheat but they really knew everything and their grade shouldn't be based off their bad behavior (choice) to cheat and hence they should be allowed to take the assessment despite being caught cheating the first time around.

i don't see the need to make thors guardians formless. it's just coddling shitty players that can't handle it and further promoting shitty playing and lack of skills.

btw- i'd rather they change kasas to demihumans cause thara frog cards are way cheaper than peno cards and more people have them. petition for that if they insist on the coddling.

[Nivawk]

Because flaming birds look like people.

[Aimee Z]

the guardians dont look formless to me.

so it's already mucked up.

[Metheos]

Nothing formless looks formless except gajomarts, horongs, mi gaos, myst, myst cases, noxious, plasmas, sandman, sleeper, stings, the paper, venomous, and tower keeper.

[Inferno Nightblade]

Better than nothing i guess, and yay no more 1 shot guardians
Not unless you Eske them.:gg:

Now it they unabled eske boss protocol monsters...
Bastard.

To be honest, aren't the guardians just floating empty suits in SPAAAAAAACE? I mean, really. It makes even LESS sense for kasas to be formless than them (I mean, wolves and salamanders made out of ice are brute race), and no one complains about that.

Okay, so no, you don't have the use of a CK anymore. It at least makes it so I don't have to bring three weapons (2x/2x, fortune sword, and then PvP since I'm too ghetto to get a titan or a quad bloody just for that) to Thor's so I can kill the freaking bows in anything resembling a timely manner. If that makes me a shitty player...well, yeah, I'm a shitty player then. /wrist

The only thing that mildly annoys me is that I can't loan out my peno and then just use my cran valk for great justice. But such is.

[Bato]

They should make everything demi human in bio imo :D

[Stridez]

ya change it back imo

[Mint]

Afaik, (almost) all animated objects (i.e.: Ridewords) and mechanical constructs (i.e.: Apocalypses) are classified as formless. Nothing wrong with the change.

[Nivawk]

Making Mi Gao cards work on them would have been sufficient enough for both Thors and WoE 2.0 guardians.

[Aimee Z]

they changed it to make it easier for people not cause it makes sense to be formless.

might as well fix bio, cleanse ice dungeon, get rid of mimics and hunter flies from everyelse where they're annoying.

oh and i still want sakray rates for regular servers. fuck 1x rate. let's all go 2x rate.

[Jayed]

Actually the 'formless' monsters are "monsters without any specific discernible race, or unique enough where it wouldn't make sense to give them a racial category that only has them in it".

[Tiltowait]

God I hate mimics.

But yea, I think WoE 2.0 guardians are appropriately powered but shouldn't be Eske'able. I guess now they'll *have* to be Eske'd to do any decent damage.

[Michael Chandra]

Those Demons at Bio are meant to fuck up solo-sins. They won't change that back so easily.

[Xanst]

Making Mi Gao cards work on them would have been sufficient enough for both Thors and WoE 2.0 guardians.

I still don't understand why it doesn't work D:

[Nhoj]

Stone Cutter event : Area of effect buff will now last 30 minutes.

how does the +10 to all Stat works? will it still stay for 30 mins even if you died like BM? or it goes away like normal kafra food?

[Pa.rabola]

I'm pretty sure it goes away, but I've never tested it myself.
