    Job Skill Improvements


    Developer Notes:

    In this January 24 test world update, we are making overall numerical adjustments and correcting errors that were sent in my players since the last update.

    First, for the numerical adjustments, we made adjustments up to 20% of jobs’ existing combat performance, including the remastered Adventurers. The numbers were changed by comprehensively reviewing each job’s combat performance, role in party play, control difficulty, and combt related statistics from the official server.

    After the last update, many players shared their disappointment with the skill improvements. We apologize for presenting content that didn’t meet players’ expectations, both in quantity and quality.

    In the future, we will do our best to minimize players’ inconvenience by continuously improving skills and gradually improving combat performance to reach levels that will satisfy users.

You can now right-click the skill to lock the feature where this skill slows down while hitting monsters. This skill will now continuously search for the boss monster with the highest maximum HP within range when the first targeted monster dies, and if it finds an enemy that meets the conditions, it will track that enemy.
    • [​IMG] Idle Whim: When the skill is used for the first time, the monster search range has been increased by 260% in the forward direction, 225% in the upward direction, and 140% in the downward direction. The Spirit Energy’s damage has been increased from 1000% to 1100% (at level 25).

    • [​IMG] Dark Sight: This skill will now be cancelled when you use Cygnus Phalanx. However, it will not be cancelled by Cygnus Phalanx’s attacks. This skill will now be cancelled when you use Ready to Die, Cygnus’ Blessing, and Shadow Bite.
    • [​IMG] Shadow Bats: Fixed an issue where the client would sometimes shut down if Shadow Bats could not find a target to attack.
    • [​IMG] Spirit Throwing: Fixed an issue where the skill name was changed to Spirit Stars.
    Striker

    • The logic where the next used skill was linked when the skill key was released has been changed so that it is linked when the skill key is pressed. The list of skills that are affected are the following.
      • Lightning Punch
      • Flash
      • Shark Sweep
      • Tidal Crash
      • Ascension
      • Thunder
      • Gale
      • Annihilate
      • Thunderbolt
      • Typhoon
      • Descent of the Sea God
      • Shark Torpedo
      • Lightning Spear Multistrike

    Developer Notes:

    Striker has a special link logic that is different than other jobs’ linking. Most linking logic links skills by cancelling the previous skill’s action when you press the skill key down of the next skill to link. However, Strikers’ skills would be linked when the next skill key was released, with the exception of Tidal Crash which had a stop on re-use feature which was added in the September 17, 2020 update, and it could be inputted with both the key down and key release.

    This link logic wasn’t a big problem before, but on the January 18 update, the feature to cancel previously inputted skills using Tidal Crash was added, and this led to the error of Tidal Crash being used twice becoming more frequent.

    The following is a step-by-step explanation of the problem where Tidal Crash would be used twice in a situation where Annihilate, Thunderbolt, and Tidal Crash were pressed in order.

    1. Cast Annihilate by pressing the key down.
    2. Thunderbolt was key downed, but the skill key was not released so it was not linked.
    3. Tidal Crash was key downed, cancelling Annihilate and activating Tidal Crash.
    4. Release Thunderbolt’s key which was key downed in 2, activating linked Thunderbolt.
    5. Release Tidal Crash’s key which was key downed in 3, cancelling Thunderbolt and activating Tidal Crash.

    The improvements we made to Tidal Crash in the January 18 update were meant to make the experience of using skills better, so we want to maintain them. In addition, generally, the logic where skills are linked when the skill keys are pressed provides a smoother skill usage experience and it would improve the issue where Tidal Crash is activated twice, so we have changed Striker so that skills are linked when the skill keys are pressed.
    • [​IMG] Thunderbolt: The action delay has been decreased by about 4%. This skill will now be linked faster than before.
    • [​IMG] Lightning Union: The final damage boost has been increased from 19% to 24% (at level 25).

    • [​IMG] Thunder Sphere: This skill’s damage is now increased by 170%p when attacking regular monsters.
    • [​IMG] Chain Lightning: The damage has been increased from 185% to 200%. The chain logic has ben improved and the vertical chain range has been increased.

    Developer Notes:

    In the last January 18 test world, we significantly increased Chain Lightning’s forward chain range and chain range after hitting a monster, but we still received many comments about the inconvenience when using it. Therefore, in this update, we want to improve Chain Lightning’s usability by changing two parts of its logic.

    First, the range when searching for monsters to chain to from the initial cast location has been greatly increased. With this change, we have alleviated the frustrating issue where the skill would not chainn even though there was a nearby monster that it could chain to.

    Second, the reference point for searching for the next chained monster has been changed from the bottom of the monster to the centre of the monster. In the past, when we set the chan rainge to be based on the bottom of the monster, there was a problem where it chained relatively well downwards but not upwards. With this change, Chain Lightning has been improved so that it chains equally well both upwards and downwards.

    In addition, since we changed the search logic, we have also significantly increase the vertical chain range so that players were used to the existing downward chain range do not feel any discomfort.

    Bishop

    • [​IMG] Triumph Feather: Fixed an issue where this skill could not be registered in the Pet Auto Buff.
    • [​IMG] Bahamut: Fixed an issue where there was an awkward effect when teleporting to the character’s location.
    • [​IMG] Vengeance of Angels: Fixed an issue where there was a delay if you used another skill immediately after casting Vengeance of Angels.

    Developer Notes:

    After the January 18 test world update, we received a lot of comments that there was an error where skills were linked smoothly in a way that was different from the official server.

    This issue occurred because in that update, we restored Vengeance of Angel’s existing logic from before the remaster which ignored the delay for skills that were used after Angel Ray and Teleport. We restored this logic on the 18th because we did not intend to eliminate the smooth link experience between the existing Angel Ray and Teleport, and after the remaster, Vengeance of Angel’s skill restrictions were removed and players felt that using more skills was smoother than before.

    This is an improvement to making Bishop’s skill usage experience better, so we will keep it without any additional changes. However, we found that there was a delay in the next skill used immediately after Vengeance of Angels, and so we have improved this problem as well.

    Improvements

    Items


    The Petite Death set images have been partially changed.


    Developer Notes:

    We checked various opinions after the test server and have supplemented the Petite Death set pets’ standing and moving motions and changed the Bella pet’s skirt and eyebrows to improve and soften their overall atmosphere.

    For the Bella and Thoth’s equipment, the size and shape have been changed while taking into consideration the harmony of the pet’s size and distance from the pet nametag without departing from the Master Label’s motif.
    UI


    The quickslot and buffs’ shadow effect’s transparency has been changed to be slightly darker to make it easier to see the time passing.

    Error Fixes

(Since the stats were restored based on the enhancements at the time of the January 18 test world update, the level and stats may not match if you enhanced them after the Janaury 18 maintenance.)

    Skills


    Fixed an issue where % stat boost effects like from potential did not apply to Xenon’s Star Force Conversion skill’s stats.

    UI


    Fixed an issue in the boss entry UI where Hard Demian’s entry limit was displayed as 1 time per day.

    Fixed an issue in the Shortcut Settings UI where if you reset the 3rd preset to the basic key settings then entered the Cash Shop or Maple Auction, the 3rd preset would be reset to the optional key settings.
