The Opening Date

Our project will be opening to the public on January 6th, 2024 at 00:00 (CST USA). Over the next week and a half, we'll be fine-tuning various elements to ensure a smooth opening. Given the numerous changes to base mechanics and the introduction of new systems, some aspects may not fully align with our intended vision, and balance can be expected to be in a state of flux during the early days. We do ask that you report any bugs, inconsistencies, or concerns on the bulletin so that we can keep track of them and address them as soon as possible. Likewise, suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Please use the following as a rough guide for how to provide feedback.

• Suggestions
  • Use the bot on Discord "/suggest <insert suggestion>" for all suggestions that are brief in nature and do not require a lot of discussion.
    • These types of suggestions will likely be acted upon by a staff member without much external discussion. Examples:
      • "/suggest Move the Kafra in Izlude more to the left so it's easier to click."
      • "/suggest Increase the damage of Mammonite, it feels weak."
  • Use the bulletin (here) for suggestions that are either not brief or require a bit more discussion.
    • These types of suggestions will likely need to be discussed both internally and externally before being acted upon. Examples:
      • Suggesting an entirely new system for finding MvP shards from monsters and what you want those shards to be used for.
      • Suggesting or providing ideas for monster design in a new area of the game.
• Bug Reports
  • Use the #bug-reports channel in Discord to report anything you think might be working incorrectly or broken.
    • This channel has a 5 minute slow-mode enabled and discussion should not occur here.
    • Note: If you have stumbled upon a bug that seems game-breaking or contains sensitive information, feel free to directly message Insomnia or adri on Discord.

Roadmap and the Future

Due to the scope of a lot of these changes, some job classes, areas, and features are currently disabled until they are in a more finalized state. It is important to note that the project is ever-evolving and we will continue to roll out new features, mechanics changes, and other improvements over time. We currently have quite a backlog of things on our to-do list, and our own personal roadmap of when we want to implement certain things, and I am positive that it will only continue to grow as everyone reports bugs and provides feedback. Please keep in mind that this is just a fan project that is worked on in our spare time. Tasks are prioritized and worked on as soon as we can get to them.

Important Reminder

We do still intend on recognizing those in our community that have been stuck around with us and helped shape the project into what it is today. In an effort to keep things as fair as possible for our newer members while still recognizing the commitment and efforts of our returning members, we have decided on the following. Please be sure that you read and understand the following.

Near Opening

In order to not delay opening or run into issues with transferring costumes, the system to transfer costumes will be available shortly after opening to ensure things are running smoothly first.

• New Members
  • For the first 7 days, all new, non-returning members will receive an initial 250 Mythos Points (MP) to spend in the Mythos Shop.
  • Note 1: This is only for completely new-to-the-community master accounts.
  • Note 2: There are no donations and MP can be earned in-game.
  • Note 3: MP are used in the Mythos Shop for cosmetics only.
• Returning Members
  • Have 2 days of early access to create/name their characters.
    • Note: You will not be able to log in further than character creation.
  • Will receive Mythos Points (MP) equal to that of 75% of master account age in days. Minimum of 500 MP.
  • Can transfer over any costume-only headgear from their previously made characters.
    • Note: These are master account bound once transferred, cannot be traded once transferred, and do not sell for zeny.

Three Months After Opening

After being open for 3 months, returning players will be able to reclaim some items with caveats and stipulations. All items transferred, including costumes and non-costumes, will be master-account bound, cannot be sold for Zeny, and will be restricted from use in competitive aspects of the game such as PvP/BG/WoE where it is deemed appropriate. 

• Can transfer 10 pieces of equipment (weapon or armor) with the following caveats.
  • The equipment will have all cards removed from it.
  • Refines will be adjusted based on any weapon level changes, but otherwise kept.
  • Random modifications will be retained.
  • Note: These items cannot be further refined or used in any modification re-roll, de-card, etc. systems. They are locked as-is.
• Can transfer 1 stack of a consumable item, up to 300 pieces.
• Can transfer 1 stack of a miscellaneous item, up to 300 pieces.
  • Note 1: This includes cards. Cards are still master account bound once transferred and will make any item it is placed into master account bound.
  • Note 2: If you are opting to transfer an MvP card, you will be unable to transfer any of the above (outside of costume headgear).
  • Note 3 (for new players): All MvP cards drop at 0.10% and have all been modified to be significantly less impactful and non-game-breaking. MvP cards here are not of the same overpowered nature as they are traditionally.

Hi all,

The change to Signum Crucis to make it do aoe damage is a really neat idea for making acolyte leveling more interesting. The issue is the range of it is so small that it is hard to get off reliably without face tanking the mobs, and if you are face tanking the mobs then you get interrupted quite easily. Also, acolytes aren't exactly tanky so its quite a risky skill to use at the moment versus just healbombing mobs.

With this in mind I would like to suggest some possible tweaks to the current version of the skill that would hopefully make it more viable:

1. Make the skill uninterruptible.

or

2. Make the skill aoe bigger.

or

3. Make the skill castable on a player clicked location rather than around the acolyte's fragile body.

Thoughts?

Greetings,

Every rogue will be taking Plagiarism. You need 35 points to do so:

2/5 Tunnel Drive

4/10 Snatcher

4/10 Coin Sap

4/10 Backstab

5/5 Raid

5/5 Intimidate

10/10 Plagiarism

1/1 Preserve

For a sword/dagger rogue, you would also take 10/10 sword mastery, leaving you with 10 points.

This leaves your skill tree in an awkward state and the choices are too limited:

Tunnel Drive is still very slow, for someone focusing on stealth they would want to max this

Snatcher is fine on high-health mobs, but you could decide to max for farming

Coin Sap you could invest more for more reliable CC/less SP drain

Backstab is almost useless at this level for damage (the % after is nice), and you would want to max this (pretty thematic to dagger rogue!)

Raid while the only non-plagiarism area effect, is pretty useless due to SP cost, damage, and requirement of hide. This should be a choice to take.

Intimidate is a niche skill, this should be a choice to take.

Plagiarism is GREAT, but you need 10/10 to pick up preserve (required), even if you only copy a level 5 skill

Preserve is GREAT, 1/1, fantastic.

Skills you didn't take:

Divest Helm

Divest Shield

Divest Armor

Divest Weapon

Graffiti

Remove Trap

Gangster's Paradise

Compared to Storm Gust, Grand Cross, and several of the other top-tier thematic skills for other classes, this is too many pre-reqs. 

For a bow rogue, you would also take 10/10 vultures eye and 10/10 double strafe, leaving you with 0 points.

Suggested goal: Rogues should have more DECISIONS for their points, not required pre-reqs. 

Suggested methods to reach goal:

Remove or severely reduce the Tunnel Drive, Backstab, Raid, and Intimidate requirements from Plagiarism. 

Reduce Plagiarism cost to 5/5

If you guys want a buff to DMG Priests, enable suffragium on themselves for better ME and Signum builds then

Grand cross also deals a massive amount more damage that comes with that increased cost though.  Personally I don't think that a melee range AoE skill that is easily interruptible is balanced, but that's my opinion

There are some abilities that have melee range (like Grand Cross) that were made uninterruptible to make them viable.  Comparing this ability to SG/LoV which you have the ability to cast at a distance with proper positioning/planning to prevent being interrupted is kind of silly.

    • Note: Other jobs that are perceived as underperforming are all being monitored and will receive changes in a later balancing pass. This includes Assassin/Creator too, as the current changes only aim at lowering the economic impact of their skills.
  • Siromas are now sometimes less afraid of fire.

• Changes
  • Reduced the cooldown after exiting your mount. 20s ->12s
  • Added a 1s delay after mounting to be able to use the item again.
    • Due to how the cooldown works it's common to spam the item, which can easily lead to immediately dismounting again. This should help with that.
  • Random teleportation (Fly Wings and others) now cannot place the user within a large area around the starting point.
    • Other teleportation and transportation improvements will come with future patches, as well as map edits to accommodate our more permanent traversal standards.
  • Finishing/skipping the tutorial now gives 10 Novice Town Wings to travel to any town they prefer.
  • Izlude Training Group now gives more useful rewards for their missions, including Novice Town Wings that are usable until Lv 60.
  • Meat (an early availability healing consumable) now costs 50z instead of 100z.
    • These earlier game changes are meant to compound with the market modulation ones to allow new players to get started more easily.
  • Reduced damage with Lord of Vermillion at all levels by 20%.
  • Reduced damage with Meteor Storm at all levels by 10%.
  • Standardized the casting range of Earth Strain with all other spells to 9.
    • This doesn't change the spell's actual reach or AoE, just gives you more area where you can click it without walking unnecessarily.
  • Mystical Amplification increases Cast Time by an additional 6% per level.
  • Reduced the damage bonus from Red Ferus Card to Meteor Storm. 15%->8%
  • Reduced the damage bonus from Hill Wind Card to Lord of Vermillion. 15%->8%
  • Reduced the damage bonus from Pitman Card to Heaven's Drive. 15%->8%
  • Reduced the damage bonus from Laurell Weiner Card to Storm Gust. 15%->8%
    • While High Wizard is meant to be a contender for highest setup burst damage in the game, the ease of application for Wizard AoE skills needs some tweaks to not become oppressively strong.
  • Pick Stone now picks 5 stones per use.
  • Cross Cutter no longer invokes an ACD. Cooldown is still 2s.
  • Cross Ripper Slasher no longer invokes and ACD. Cooldown is still 1s.
  • Venom Dust duration is now 3s per Skill Lv. SP cost goes down with levels.
    •  This helps assassins not leave little puddles of poison all over the map and makes the skill require some point investment to make good use of it.
  • Cart Slide is now reducible with DEX. Cooldown is still 5s.
  • Explosive Cart now adds +2000 flat aggro per explosion.
    • Whitesmith is meant to be a viable tank and allowing the upgrade to CS to build up extra aggro per explosion triggered should definitely help in this regard.
  • Increased the effect of all APM potions by 10%.
  • Enabled Berserk potions to work for Swordman, Merchant, Thief, Mage and Monk Classes.
    • Crafted versions (Energizing Potion and Poisoned Drink) are still usable by anyone.
  • Removed the self-status effects from: Goddess of Fortune's Cursed Brooch, Drooping Alicel, Alice Doll, Poring Fedora, Satanic Chain
    • Goddess of Fortune's Cursed Brooch's self-status effect will return later with a cooler effect.
  • Improved the healing bonus for Healing Staff. 1.5%->3%
  • Croce Staff's combo now autocasts Heal when using Kyrie Eleison instead, with its Lv based on Rosaries equipped.
    • This differentiates it further from other healing tools and also avoids the illegible heal amount upon doublecasting.
  • Novice Elemental Daggers (Jujube and the rest) now have no level requirement to be used.
  • Bleeding now stops when the unit is at 33% HP instead of 16%.
  • Poison Changes
    • Players deal half damage of poison if they are more than 15 levels lower than their target.
      • For monsters, this penalty is applied only if the monster is more than 45 levels lower than their target.
    • Players (only) now have poison damage scaled based on their base level, reaching maximum potential damage at level 80.
  • Using Boarding Halter no longer retains skin color when mounting to avoid errors for job classes that do not have a dark skin while mounted. This will be reverted eventually when all classes have dark skin options while mounted.
  • Disabled vending on map prt_fild08 except for Salvage Shops.
    • Reminder: There is a fast warp to Alberta from Izlude where vends should be placed.
  • Dynamic NPC sell pricing threshold for items increased from 10z to 50z.
    • This means that items that sell to the NPC for less than 50z are no longer affected by dynamic sell pricing.
  • Disabled dead branches on prt_fild08

Good day.. I would like to suggest to a rework on the skill "Triple Attack".

1. Make it both an active and passive skill just like blitz beat. When activated manually, it has a 7 second cooldown but when activated thru autoattack, has a fixed chance of 20% but doesn't have a cooldown..

2. Why the suggestion? so that combo monks be viable in PVP and performing combo manually is a good addition, not relying solely on chance but with timing as well..

cast time is uninterruptible with today's patch and max lv reduced to 5

Tarstarkas

Lol yes it does.

Let's make asura uninterruptable then. Oh while were at it I'll take SG, LoV, and omg how could I forget. Let's make safety wall uninterruptable as well that way all those non tanky mages can level too.

yes, a melee range low damage skill is a great comparison to ranged massive damage massive AoE skills, and also compares well to one-hit-kill skills

Please be aware that this first patch is nearly entirely focused on fixing issues, especially those causing larger problems. There are still many more bugs, suggestions, and things to implement. Thank you for your patience.
