8/16 Season 2 Part 3 Update

[Hobo]

Those attacks are absurd. Keaghan has an attack of 7805 and these have 12,014....

[Oizen]

They buffed HP right?

But from what it looks like, not enough if thats the new average attack.

From AFKalmighty:

 Spoiler:

I haven’t played much today and didn’t bother to log in at all in day 2 so a lot of this is based on the experience of other people.

• The story battle situation has been resolved now that party members can proceed with the quest as well. But the random drop quest items are still getting on the nerve of many. [Random quest drop from random wisp with random chance to drop a core at all is fun]
  
  
• They listened to the complaints enough to the point that season 1 battles seem almost the same as long as you turn off the option for damage numbers. [Season 1 bosses no longer show their hp bar in hard and hero and since they don't have any mechanic that forces jumping you usually don't see it being used at all in season 1 battles]
  
  
• Being able to see the damage of other players can lead to some freaky incidents. Like when I turned on the damage number option on out of curiosity in a Keaghan party with 4 staff evies and 2 kai.
  
  
• Now imagine this. 4 well geared staff evies spamming magic arrow at high speed which pops up 3 numbers per shot and 2 kais using the emote glitch for quick firing. The numbers literally cover a boss as small as Keaghan and it’s impossible to tell what he’s doing. And I’m not even exaggerating here.
  
  
• Lv70-80 battles are still proving to be overwhelming. Some people don’t mind that a minimum 15k group needed 2 graces 3 party graces to clear over half of lv70-80 Tomb of Ships. They do mind that there is a very high chance of DCing, the game crashing, or various other incidents that cause people to lose all their progression [and fatigue]
  
  
• 16k seems to be the usual requirement for full runs of lv70-80 battles with random people. But most of the high-end geared people are partying with people they know so the demography of people that are doing full runs of lv70-80 regularly should be higher than that. This, of course is expected to become lower as people get used the the battles.
  
  ….. I hope.
  
  
• Sword Lann slip dash is seeing a lot of light with a bunch of bosses spamming hard-hitting unblockable attacks. One thing mentioned constantly at this point is lv70-80 Kieru’s tail attack. She summons Lakiora’s tail 3 times from the ground. Most people are able to evade the first 2 hits but the third hit comes almost immediately after the second making it practically impossible for character’s without invulnerability to avoid it. [The tail hits a 10k def Fiona for over 2k so if you get hit by the first strike you might as well pray for a life flare or feather revive]
  
  
• On the other hand, this is totally screwing over Hammer Fionas and Pillar Karoks. Hammer at least can forget about DPS and just concentrate on surviving with the help of shield bash. Karok.. well, it’s not like he can use earthquake every 30 seconds or so.
  
  
• There was a group that figured out how to ‘park’ the hidden boss of Crescent Island [Treasure Gaurdian]. It was a group of 3 with the Fiona ‘parking’ the boss with a 16k evie and 17k kai spam attacking freely. It took them 17 minutes to down the boss.
  
  
• Along with the progression wiping bugs, there are still a bunch of bugs varying from text glitches to gamebreaking ones. It’s going to take a long time for them to get even close to rounding up all of them.
  
  
• Boss mechanisms that force players to jump shi- all over Kai since he can’t jump while in shortbow firing mode. But he is [not surprisingly] bawse at sniping down them pesky wasps.
  
  
• The way Bosses interact with uneven terrain is being glitched constantly. This can either be good or bad for the players [more often the latter]
  
  
• A hard hitting ranged flying boss with a quick and accurate projectile that applies a debuff and has the habit of staying high out of range is not cool. TLDR : glitchy wasp flying AI is glitchy. And if it enrages when it’s owner is slain first.. words can not express the horror.
  
  
• The boats in Season 2 still don’t have any mailboxes or vendors. THE PLAYER IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME BUT I CAN’T LEND HIM A PARTY FEATHER!!1!
  
  
• One of the Siren bosses that have abysmal defense like the Crab boss has been strangely weak against Reverse Gravity [like 'We've-been-beating-this-bi***-for-20-minutes-and-this-evie-comes-and-one-shots-it-for-95%-of-total-damage' weak] Seeing how this is beneficial to players and yet not changed, people are starting to think that this is an intended mechanic.
  
  
• Good news : Several cool boss bashes have been added for Karok. Bad News : It’s impossible to tell if the certain pattern is coming or not even in the slowpoke lv 8-30 mode.

That’s all I can remember for now. I have yet to see a person with a positive opinion about Season 2 in KR

16k attack!??

God dammit. I cant even get a lv 70 weapon. Let alone that.

[Hobo]

The director is really trying to kill the game for majority of the players.

By that, do you mean the free2play players or the Lann players? Or both?

[Invertex]

You do realize that even I'm sitting at 14.6k Att, and I don't personally know anyone who has over 15k. And this is with a +10 Double r9 Hammer. I have a +12 double r9 Sword which isn't even 15k.

It screws over a lot of people who do pay money too. Since by my calculations, it takes about a +13/14 Lv. 60 Weapon or a +11/12 Lv. 70 Weapon. So unless you have a 1b weapon, you're going to have plenty of fun trying to do things.

And even with a +13, you're barely even there. You could sacrifice a ton of Def and run a pure Raider's set for Att (I can get to around 15.5k if I drop about 3k Def), but then you're going to be one shotted by everything.

So it screws over anyone who isn't an exceedingly stacked character.

Jeez, how much attack speed does that Bella have?

And it sounds like exceedingly stacked characters aren't even doing that well.

[Invertex]

And it sounds like exceedingly stacked characters aren't even doing that well.

Well that too, but there's a huge difference between not doing that well versus being downright impossible to do the boss.

Regardless, it's still absurd. They're actually making stacking mandatory while trying to make stacking less valuable.
