Thanks for the translation. Seems a good patch we have this week.

Lil' typo here:

Striking

• Striking effect is adjusted.
• The caster's learned level of Flame Launcher/Frost Learned levels of Weapon/Lightning Loader/Seismic Weapon increases the skill effect.
• While striking is active the target constantly uses SP.

Now that's looking really interesting!
Though I doubt the Walk skills will become any more useful with any changes they apply xD

Psychic wave also caused stun?? o_o
Hope they don't nerf it to a useless skill by adding half a min cast LOL

Wonder how the endows will increase Strinking...


Is the new Cloud Kill really so awesome that it's reasonable for it to require 2 red gems??

-Standard boring expected sentence:
Sigh, this means I gotta wait at least 2 more weeks for any SC fixing q.q

Oh yes, finally. Time to update my compilation D:
I think Cloud Kill now consumes red gems just so it doesn't make Venom Dust completely useless. You know, since it's such a widely useful skill. Also, inspiration sounds slightly overpowered now :|

hey is "01/06/2010"...

Well, i suppose that now overbrand no be able to do kncokback damage always...

But inspiration is OP now!!!!

added specifics at the KRO Socerer forum ~_~

Quite probably, that now you`re should master Weapon Enchants to be able to use Striking to full force.

Haha, sorry, quite tired! But from the kRO forums it looks like some of the client stuff was updated already, I'll see if I can get the descriptions.

New loading screens

Well at least the map designs aren't disappointing.

Updated the post correcting the quest name. The quest was originally called "Insatiable Greed, Mankind's advance to the New World". Obviously this doesn't really fit so iRO calls it "To the New World". They removed the battle portion entirely, which is nice.

this needs to come to iRO like.. next week.

It's not that bad. If you're going to adjust a quest, adjust "Report from the New World" which is a complete nightmare to do.

The new loadings screens are really cool. Especially the first

Vacuum Extreme

• The duration of the effect is decreased by the STR of the target.

Oh my goodness....Gravity finally did something that actually makes sense.

Cloud Kill

• When using the skill, you need to use two red gems.
• The poison element changing part of the skill effect is removed.
• The skill now has a 100% chance to cause poison status.

Any known cast time change for Cloud Kill?

Poison Buster

• Fixed cast time changed.
• Variable cast time changed.
• Damage formula is adjusted.

Kinda curious if the damage is significantly increased, to offset the 2 red gem cost of poisoning stuff now?

expense 2 red gem to gain the effect of unconditional poison status, sounds still powerful.
duration of vacuum extreme, even fixed in 1 second will attract me, i really need the effect of gathering targets to one cell.
Fixed 7*7 area might give some other value to LV.1 VE，but now..ER...
uhhhhhh...I was fascinated by the loading image, the first one has a sort of feeling of unknown kingdom

It looks pretty good considering it's just a screenshot, looks just like that in game.

+ YouTube Video

Although I'm not sure how I was supposed to guess the romanization of the forest "Blumbeld Jorhi". Well I came close.
