PS : Elf op... RIP Humans.

Regarding crossbow piercing...
They added an upgrade path where you can get 1 piercing.
That's all.

F.. -sigh-...

Do remember that this is just the first leg of the update. I'm sure that they'll add a couple of ranged skills and make further improvements in the next couple of days. I exclusively use a spirit arbalest, so i'm hoping that they send some love my way.

I'm interested in Mirage Missile's new damage formula. Dexterity always factored into shock damage. The old formula was:

Base Damage + (Int/5) + (Dex/7)

lol

Yeah...this first part didn't really fix anything with archery...Support Shot looks really nice.

Ya, last I tried final shot it was really difficult to use. I mean sure now Mirage Missle got even better and can even kill. Seems pretty good so far.

I love how they even touched the Giants throwing attack skill. Wasn't expecting any boost to giants this update but looks like Giants like my friend Kenny will be very pleased with this update. Having the team try and look at the specifics on the actual values of the increases/decreases and other skill related skill changes. We'll probably release it all at once once it hits the live update as usual.

I'm expecting that next week we'll see the new skills/weapons/enchants and then the week or two after they'll wrap it up and ship it to live. They seem to be following a specific pattern for these updates. All is within my expected paramaters and expectations for the most part.

After playing around for a bit, here's a bit of my thoughts.

Regarding crossbows:
1. It's crap. Here's the reason why.
2. Piercing doesn't really add much, it still cannot compare to bows.
3. Unlocking Magnum and Crash Shot position is not really helpful at all. When you load a skill, it loads immediately and you'd shoot short after. I'm not sure if somebody can come up with creative strategies, I can think of a few people on this forum, but oh well...

Regarding Final Shot and Mirage Missiles (I haven't played them YET, but here's the information I gathered so far.):
1. FINAL SHOT OP YUSSSSSSS
2. Hydra > Mirage any day. (but then again, it's just a test server, so who knows...)

That's pretty much it for what I've gathered so far.

And for the aiming system revamp, testers are saying it's not noticeable.

[Kingofrunes]

Well I didn't really expect the aiming system to be noticeable. It'll be more noticeable when we pull up the data but only on paper will it be that noticeable. As for Final Shot being OP, I could never figure out how the hell to get that skill to work right. It's not like final hit where you just click the enemy and bam bam hack away. Never could work out the teleportation part of final shot :/

As for Crossbow piercing, I think it'll be better when you add on those SAO enchants to it that add piercing in addition to the upgrades. I think the new crossbows that will be added next week will take more advantage of it.

You're saying things way too soon before the other stuff has come in.
