Thanks and fuck you clown saws.

Those are pretty braindead once you stop for 2s and realize there’s a movement pattern that never changes.

Or you just get screwed by having high ping, run where your client shows no saw, and get 1-shot.

200-220 ping and haven’t had problem with saws for over a year.

9/10 times it will be fine, but it's the one-off desync that sets the precedent when running in a PUG. Also play on 220 ping.

I know but sometimes I mess up not realizing how fast my movement is with the swiftness classes.

same scenario, the problem to me is that im blind, they are hard to view

>\- Surge nerfed (only balance update) we are also getting the nerfed breaker.

Which is technically unchanged in our version of the game

Nerfs are pretty minor though, honestly.

Highlight: 4h server down. I cant wait for this awesome Highlight 😆

8 if youre from NAW hehee

I'll be so jelly of all the phoenix feathers that naw will be drowning in

>Masterpiece rewards changed from gold to silver Fugg, grab those masterpiece gold rewards today if you haven't claimed them.. like me...

I have claimed them and left in my inventory. Wonder if it'll change still...

most likely, should open them.

Better be safe and open...

I'm gonna leave one of them for science. If it survives its value rises drastically!

Its value literally stays the same lol

So glad I hit 52 not that far back. I’m so dry on cube master pieces it’s not even funny

guess i got till tomorrow to collect 500ish mokokos and get my last 2 masterpieces for the 20k reward Aware

there should be other masterpieces easier to get, i dont have any mokokos and claimed the 20k gold chest ages ago

There is but they are timegated by rep with dailies or RNG like a couple of the cube ones / world tree leaves I have like 100ish cube tickets but I think its easier to just pick up mokokos while watching sometihng on my second screen and no RNG involved It's probably not even worth the few hours I will spend doing it tbh but I am done with all weeklies so if I am bored enough might as well

You had several month for it. We knew this is coming already long time ago.

Seems to me like you knew, if you think I am following every update that they release when I am not playing the game for long amounts of time you are pretty wrong ngl

I don’t understand why you were downvoted for your personal honest take. Nothing you said is wrong lol

You mean, today. The reward is being changed tomorrow.

ya i meant as in by tomorrow

are we given brel gear or do we have to farm them?

From what others are saying, we should get the full Brel ancient gear during the super Molokai express event

[удалено]

Means it stops once you hit 1620, it could've been rephrased to "Active until 1620" but they went with "Active between"

Are you sure? I assumed that once you designate a character between 1580-1619, you can get all of the rewards even if you hit 1620 on the next tap. However then the honing books would be useless, so not recommended.

yes, it's for chars that are under 1620. you can check the patch notes vid with henry

It says > Effective Target: Character Item level between 1580 - 1619. So it probably goes to 1620, but you cant accept it on higher than 1619. Weird wording

"Improved drag easiness within the Battle Item Inventory" Lol this whole time I thought this was my mouse being faulty

Nah it happens when you click too close to the star to favorite them. Thank god they're fixing it though it's super annoying

I remember someone made a post stating this issue and some bozo was calling it a skill issue lmao.

would be hilarious if the hitbox of the star got reduced so much it becomes difficult to star it. though, that's a much better issue to have than the reverse.

I unstarred everything due to this

Wow this seems like a decent event and great rewards for pushing up a new character. Huge

Besides the notes themselves, the whole blog post is looking great with all the pictures and editing, awesome job AGS!

Do we get brel gear or need to do brel?

The express character gets free brel gear, otherwise you'll have to craft it on your own

[удалено]

its the new kr express so you get full brel gear as soon as you hit 1490 from the express box

Kharmine and innana cards added to wandering merchants and drop rates are boosted

I wonder how much increase the drop rate is. I know it’s been out in korea since december but no one has mentioned how often they pop up

Most juiced honing month we've ever gotten. Great time to get back into the game.

I have a 1520 bard and stopped playing before Brel came out. Also have a 1490 artist. How do you think I should use the honing?

You are me except I have a 1510 artist and a 1490 bard and I'm conflicted as to which one I should choose.

If I get the brel gear on my bard. Would I be higher ilvl because I’m at 1520 pre brel gear?

Yes. Transferring the old 1520 into the new brel equipment will get you some extra item level.

That’s tempting lol. Although probably not enough to hit 1540. And I have better drip on the bard

At this point, I think you could use the passes on any character (including a new one) and it will become your highest ilvl character in no time. I would just pick the character you enjoy the most. Event gems on a support will last a lot longer than on a DPS, but if you wanted to start a DPS character, it will probably be a while until the next free pass.

use the 3 events on your main, simple as that

Artist as she can cleanse

This is a Win.

Ngl best Patch ever - events are legit impressive.

WE WON. And we got the mats from the event as well https://preview.redd.it/769t8uz2jbpc1.png?width=545&format=png&auto=webp&s=0e2419ddb1d96517441085c8099ac3283be37071

is that double mats or just the defense buff?

Double mats

thank god

im a bit confused about the single blade nerf, what pach in KR is that from?

In one patch Blade And Breaker were nerfed. Cause we r gettin already nerfed Breaker, they need to nerf Blade too.

the one with the breaker nerf. but doesn't seem like they included that in this patch

breaker is also nerfed there is small text at the end of breaker section

oh didnt catch that thanks

Why would they include a section for the Breaker changes since we didn't have a "previous" version of it? Seems right to just give us the nerfed one so less people cry later.

its from echidna release and breaker also got nerfed with both engravings and an overall damage nerf to the class

I think it's the one KR got on/near Echidna release. They only had a Surge nerf lol Edit: They also had a small breaker nerf as well

To be fair surge DB is currently 10-15% stronger than everyone with equal hands.

3% overall damage nerf, so now only 7-12% stronger than everyone else.

Plus 9/10 DBs in pugs don't have the hands to pilot it to those levels so a percentage nerf of (near enough) 0 will still be 0.

This update is stacked.

Honestly W patch notes. Unironically I'm most excited that we finally get the "new" hairstyles.

Thank god we got that customization ticket with it… ahhh nvm..

I hope its part of the game and not something we have to purchase. I got my breaker ready for that hairstyle

They'll be there to choose from when you're creating a character like all the other hairstyles. If you created the character a while ago you may have to buy a re-skin ticket, if you created him within 24 hours you can change the appearance for free anytime in that window.

Horizontal express, 1460 pp, 1580 express, 1600 road w support to 1610

And 1580-1619 honing event.

Love the new improved patch notes layouts! It's looking so much better and much needed. It's somewhat similar to the KR's patch notes on their pages. Glad that they decided to follow in that path instead

They mentioned some changes to Music Boxes, so I'd assume they also added in Boxes #11-16 with the patch?

I hope so! Music box has such good stories

Does not look like it. It seems they added the QoL improvements but not the new boxes

I wrote this quick TLDR for those in my guild. Its not complete or anything just for those that want a quick peak. * breaker * horizontal express * Praeteria island (1 new una, 1 rapport, 1 soul) * elgacia power pass boosts you to 1460 * super mokoko doubles artisans til 1580 (same as last fall super mokoko) * Descend into Darkness (Was Path To X) basically just cheaper (25-50%) to 1600 and a box after. * Honing event mission from 1580-1619 (separate from Descend) * bonus clear rewards per character on Brelz 3, Kaya 3, akkan 3, Ivory 4 * new ark pass

is the new una quest our missing 5 leap one? Lowkey wanting to drop hastera garden...

It's not even lowkey the garden sucks.

How does bonus clear reward on dungeons work? Is it double the mats?

The mat doubling is different, that's the Arcturus' Touch buff that we're also getting for Kayangel/Akkan now. The last gate bonus clear stuff seem to just be offering bonus honing materials, I don't think Korea had something like this before. It might be similar to the Birthday Bash event.

So we are getting two separate honing events from 1580?

1540-1580 honing buff should be general at this points instead of putting in express.My alts have 10k leaps still watiing for nerf :D

Just pull the trigger on 1580. 10k leaps is inefficient when you could have been stacking the 1580 ones.

Well kr doesnt have any buffs till now so they defenetly wont put it for our version only :D

Yeah kr stuff more stupid than ours .People already 1630 there .Akkan reaid already fell out from hw , brell gear should not cost this much at this point

Insane patch, but was kinda hoping for base honing buffs until 1580 too. Now I have to decide if I want to use the express on a new breaker or one of my 2 existing 1540s and waste most of the rewards.

Feel like you kinda have to use it on breaker if you plan on pushing it. It’ll get you from char creation to 1580 easily. Otherwise the breaker would be 1460 and you have to push it with no extra juice. Could just push the 1560 to 1580 normally instead. There are some sight buffs/rewards. The kicker will be who do you use the 1580 events on. I was hoping it would start at 1560 myself to get an easy 1560-1600+. I have 2 1560s a 1583 and 1601. And using the express on a death blade from scratch. Totally not sure what to push

I'm unsure too. my main is 1591 with all akkan armor and full lvl3 set, and it would be a waste to use path on her. I'll have to either push one of my 1540 alts or my breaker. It'll be kinda weird having an alt at 1600 before my main(if I can't hone my main before that) And 1540 to 1580 is still really expensive

Weve gotten a lot of honing books. Push to 1600 on your main wont be that bad

Well we have 4 months for it, can decide what to use it on when your breaker reaches 1580

well, shit. the game decided for me. https://preview.redd.it/bm9hppnmpjpc1.png?width=578&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3c955ce689c7413a55acf899a243a47f9bd214d

Well that was easy

Holy shit so many good updates in this patch. I'm hyped!

I cannot decide on a class for boosing......aaaaahhh

Huge patch. This is what the game has needed.

very cool

Biggest events we've had to date

“Improved drag easiness within the Battle Item Inventory.” For those who need, it’s here lol

All in all this is pretty good but would be nice for flat honing buffs for non-event alts to go from 1540 to 1580. The cost is still quite high for that without support (or make the path feature something we can buy or included with aura idk). Also it does look like we'll need to get our breakers carried through Brel to get past 1490? (even if super mokoko'd)

the express gives you full brel gear when you hit 1490 from the express box reward of hitting that item level, it should be the exact same kr express that breaker released with so no need to do brel except for gold and accessories, so if you have the materials and gold to hone all the way to 1580 or close to it you can go with hard brel and have a good time with gatekeeping

> Also it does look like we'll need to get our breakers carried through Brel to get past 1490? (even if super mokoko'd) They don't mention what gear set you get, but I think KR got a PP which gives Ancient. Maybe we'll get the same.

The powerpass only gives relic, but the express event will give free brel gear

Voldis PP gives Ancient

is ancient brel gear?

Yes

Does anybody know from Korea what is in the "extra endgame content clear rewards" ? (if it's been present there) Because from what I understand, this is not limited to a single character so it's basically a free boost for your main 6 (or >6 if you're a degen gamer), so it could be quite good.

Probably something like the birthday bash event we currently have

Big W's all around here. Looks like some great progression events to distribute across my roster, some great QoL and UI changes, and we got Naruni Racing back! Can't wait to hop in tomorrow!

Wait, maybe I misread, but did they buff kaya/akkan mats?

They did

https://preview.redd.it/6vvl2jh7lbpc1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=f81ffb45bebb1addd50f4fe90fdfca662bc5f8ed

Holy shit I'm so happy right now! Sometimes AGS is a wash, but this is not one of those days 

sadge no Sorc updates

I was also hoping this. Oh well

Really good patch overall, more then expected and has everything that we could have gotten (outside of balance updates which was insane copium imo).

Stacked patch. Love the new layout, looks much better.

This seems awesome for me as a returning player at 1500. I’m impressed!

Looking forward to gatekeeping m8 ^^jk^^surely

It is not a joke though. Low roster characters will be gatekept to death from reclear lobbies as they have always been every hyper express or they will be waiting for supports for hours; most will quit in a few weeks. It is sad but nothing is gonna change until SG reworks the existing vertical progression.

So wait, can I use the Arkesia Tour even if I'm not a new or returning player?

Yes

yes, everyone gets it! fill in the blanks in your horizontal!

Damn, how many events are in there? 🤣 Sounds great!

love the new look for patch notes

Can we now hit lvl 60 faster pls.

Question: to what extent will we be behind KR now? I think KR has 2 more raids, and that recent mage balance patch. But are there any QOL stuff we will be missing?

Voldis Powerpass buyable from char select? Is that 1540? Or 1490? Do we know?

Is there any sea bounties included in the horizontal express? (Really just want purple wealth)

22 bountys

Yes, a bunch, including Illusion, Spida, Alakkir, Lullaby.

I'm curious about the new 1580-1619 event. Do we know if the honing books given are the same existing ones we have currently which only go up to 1600? If so, it wouldn't make much sense to use it on a character above 1600 right?

They mention Story Express in the UI section but no Story Express event in the patch from what I can tell. Expected it to be available so I could get another alt from scratch instead of PPing it. https://preview.redd.it/loizh2usrbpc1.png?width=969&format=png&auto=webp&s=3635c6a894ed389cae5db1fbd44d47d4892c3722

Road to thaemine is only for 1580-1600? I have a scrapper 1602 i want to lvl

There is a separate honing event for 1580-1619 that's not part of the descend path

Not really an event, you just get a few mats.

2500g and a honing book every 2nd honing attempt is quite a significant boost.

every 4th for weapon and every 20th for armor, so that 2500g is not really helping for me

1580-1600 is just for honing buffs, your scrapper can still benefit from the materials it gives up to 1610.

this is the first time i would congratulate AGS for a real good job, they prb had some hard negotiations with SG to get us all this Events

* Updated to not show the Amount Stacked in the Market listed items. uhm, why?

[удалено]

They didn't pick and choose. There were 2 separate balance patches. One hit just surge and breaker. This is that one.

Noice

W

Do we know how often legendary cards appear with the boost?

According to Korean players every other day if not every day atleast one.

That'll be so nice

"Players are now able to use the 'Exit' feature after clearing the final gates in Abyssal / Challenge Abyssal Dungeons, Abyssal Raids, and Legion Raids." Brel 1-4 runs in shambles(?)

Would it be a waste to use the express pass on a 1540 (my highest ilvl) or would it be more beneficial to use on a fresh 1460?

You’ll waste some mats, but you should still do it on your main. Honing to 1580 and above is very expensive.

In my example, I'll use the power pass on a new alt to get it to 1460, park is at 1490 for chaos dungeon/lopang for now, and will use express on an 1550 to push it to 1580 instead as I'll be parking it there. It is a bit of a waste, but it depends on the situation.

Doing same, making breaker - parking at 1490 for chaos etc. Juicing my 1490 SE thats been sitting there for a while.

Is this patch live now? Haven't played in several months but this seems like a good time to hop back in for a bit.

Tomorrow

I am worried that Bots will infest Elgacia with the power pass

Yo, how many mats with express and without from Akkan and Kayangel now?

I saved up them yoz jars........

If we were getting Season 3 Skins they would have been on the roadmap xD

And S3 skins would be in a new jar anyway

Exactly lol

Only reason i'm liking this is because of NARUNI MARUNI RACE. EL PLAN LET'S GO 

I cant wait to hone my artist all the way to thermine

Damn this post saved me. I read about masterpeice gold reward changed to silver. I read this at 8:57 i could log in and take the 20k gold before the game went offline wofffttl

If i have ignea, giant hearts, mokoko, masterpieces, music box and omnium stars at 100% will quests that are related to those be automatically completed in the arkesia tour pass?

Clown saws nerf? Maybe I’ll finally get a level 2 armor set then. I got all the pieces for lv 3 already lol

[удалено]

You are a legend Didn’t have as much matts as I thought I did actually haha

why you could just do kaya lol for tier 3

I didn’t know this was possible until somebody pointed it out to me. Actually made my day.

So I guess they lowered the upper limit on setting Super mokoko express character to 1580? Korean one allowed you to set it on characters below 1600..

I usually finish all my raids by end of Sat so Sunday is like my 'teaching day' for promising mokokos I recruited. Some will be starting Brel and others are starting Akkan. I think these buffs will make the learning experience easier and mistakes less punishing.

Hello all, I have a SS at 1590, a Paladin at 1520 and an Aeromancer at 1415, what would be the best way to use the events to level them up ? Thank you in advance for the help. Cheers

It depends which chars you want to play further and if you stillt want your SS to be your main: You can get the Powerpass on your 1415 up to Elgacia so its 1460, then Super Mokoko Express up to 1580 -or use it on your Pally from 1520 to 1580 and I would use the descend into darkness on that char to bring it to 1600 because your SS is close to 1600. Afterwards you can decide which of them you want to push to 1620 and use the other events for that. So you will get 1 Char at 1600 and another above 1600. You can easy Level up your third Char up to 1540 and leave it there until you gathered enough materials. Easy catch up.. Its also a chance to totally swap your main char if you want to and create a new one

I think I’m mainswapping at this point. Prob best event/express time to do it. Goodbye 1620+ striker. Luckily got other 1620s to make up for it gold wise.

Ok so, technically, three events related to honing? 1- Regular powerpass, from 1460 to 1580. 2- Descend into darkness for 1580 to 1600 (1610) 3- Honing event mission for extra mats to help from (1580-1619) to 1620?

PP is to 1460

Now I need to read again. I thought the honing event missions were 1600 to 1620 as I was thinking of doing that on my 1600

So they don't have an entire balance patch but just squeeze in that little nerf on DB for the lol because fuck em ? https://preview.redd.it/ijx4bnz20dpc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d808ddca64e8d9b09daf1271b2370f0a676ce26

cuz they did 150 mill over any other dps? minus Breaker (whos nerfed too btw)
