Kind of surprised this game is still running, although it's still pretty fun. Guess the whales are that strong? They just started plans to transfer off Atlantica to another publisher, but I don't think Nexon America's garbage reputation does them any favors.

Should I use the upcoming +10 ticket on a lvl 70 weapon or try to get an 80 weapon? I haven't quite decided on what character to take to 90 so I've been bouncin back and forth between a few alts. I keep reading people saying to get a orange feather(?) and use the coupon on the 90 weapon. I have maybe 10mil so I don't think I can afford any of the suggested options. Also can anyone describe Vellas playstyle in a little detail for me? TS looks neat kinda like Fiona with counters. How does she deal with sandbag bosses?

Oh boy I can describe Vella for you as someone with way too many hours in her. I'll start with chains: they are a very high dps safe and boring weapon, one of the highest dps weapons in the game. Sword Vella is probably the best solo class, but suffers a lot the more people you have in the group. If you get some speed with her you can play super aggressive. The more the boss is attacking you, the more damage you will do because cross cut is sword Vella's highest damage skill. You will learn to hate other people's boss stuns and flinches. Sword Vella doesn't really play like Fiona at all. You can't hold cross stance, you're in it for a second or two depending on the level and you can cancel it with E. You don't have a plan or rotation you go through as sword Vella. You get all up in the enemy's poo poo and react to what they do (by cross cutting them). How well you do with sword Vella depends a lot on how well you know boss hitboxes and whether to dodge or counter a given attack. There are some cases, like the dragons or Lakoria, where you can cross cut attacks that wouldn't hit you if you know where to stand. Sword Vella is also the only class that can reflect projectiles back at bosses, which is limited in usefulness but you can do things like defeat the succubus in a game of tennis. Basically, if you go sword Vella, don't expect to do tons of damage in groups, but you'll find soloing pretty easy. You'll also have to learn basically every boss in the game through getting punched in the face until you learn the timings for cross cutting everything. Also don't play her she's bad.

Hy_C posted:Why is she bad? Because of the cross cut stuff? No I just like to say she's bad because her dps in a party is lacking and that's a number people care a lot about. I have literally put thousands of hours (and probably dollars ) into mine because she's a lot of fun. She is incredibly strong solo and you always have the option of chains if you really want to do better damage in groups.

Your DPS drops a lot when you're not crosscutting, which is a lot times in a group. And your non cross cutting rotation is really boring. I think she also still has this weird janky dodge where you want to double dodge and end up doing backlash and it makes you get hit. I don't think any character is bad though. I been playing black desert lately, it's pretty cool and actiony.

I don't think chain vella is inherently good at doing lots of damage. The big damage-dealing combo is Hailstorm spam, which takes a while to prepare compared to how long it lasts and you need a good weapon and to stack a bunch of boosters on yourself to really make it count. What makes chains good for raiding is that they're proactive. Unlike Fiona or Sword Vella, Chain Vella doesn't need to react to a boss's attacks in just the right way to do real damage.

Also there are some bosses that are a huge pain in the rear end to fight with swords (see: Lugh, most of ship graveyard) that are trivial with chains.

They're doing another round of the Royal Army Raid event. Now you can do any of the 24-man raids to get credit. The only reward that's even kind of worth talking about is the lucky ice cube. The lucky ice cube briefly grants false hope. You've got until August 11th to raid. Meanwhile, the attendance event is still going on. The 180-day shared storage coupon was a huge help. Nothing like being able to consolidate all of your cash shop junk to know what you really have. You know what I really have? Lots of weapon fusion runes. I hate those things.

I just hit 60 on my Vella. I've been enjoying it but I have almost no AP, what abilities should I focus on besides the standard crit/smash mastery? I play TS since Xcut is more fun than chains while solo.

I just completed season 2 on my Delia and I now think that the grind isn't that bad. Thanks to free (V)VIP caps, a free combat exp cap, double exp events, plenty of daily raiding, and maxing out 24-man raids, I was able to finish at level 80. I didn't even do most of the sidequests. Sure, it took me 2 1/2 weeks to reach this point but that's because I spent most of my time screwing around between battles. Kinda wish I hadn't screwed around so much because I'm going on a trip this week and almost certainly won't have time to hit 90 before the 11th. Alas, no "Noble" title for me. Oh yeah, it turns out I got the Royal Army Raid event deadline wrong. The exchange shop is open until the 11th, but dragon scales won't be awarded after tomorrow's maintenance. Whoops, my bad.

Cross cut, slashing high, storm step, and typhoon blade are the highest priority. After that you want combat/crit/smash mastery, and you probably want some points in potion and the stamina masteries. Also make sure you get standing endurance up to at least rank 9 so you can roll after getting knocked down.

Maybe I'm playing Vella wrong but I try to focus on not getting hit in the first place and saving my SP for her two direct attack specials/Berserker.

Slashing high is a 20% speed boost with infinite stamina for 20 seconds on a 30 second cooldown. It's really good whether you get hit or not. Also if you ever get to a point where your gear is good then berserker becomes pointless. Gale cutter and typhoon are good but Gale can be hard to hit with.

Slashing high is counter-intiutive. You don't use to for the super armor, you use it for the massive speed boost (gives you more dmg, lets you use more moves between windows), and at high levels you actually outpace the cost of it. It's extremely good. Attack speed is a total game changer in this because it improves every aspect of your character(dodging, cancels). Slashing high even more so because it also speeds up potions, running, everything.

# ? Aug 2, 2016 00:32 |

I can confirm that Slashing High is stupid good skill and what I dump most my SP into on chars that have access to it, and by time its CD is off 90% of the time I'll have the SP back to pop it instantly again. Plus its also a skill that scales very well with your characters gear/stats. There is a reason newer characters and weapons didn't get Slashing High, its kinda overpowered, just imagine a chain Vella with near infinite stamina and speed boost.

LLRR is your most used combo forever and I forgot they actually added skills for it because I've been skill capped forever. It's basically your filler between cross cuts. The typhoon combo is the most damage when you aren't cross cutting but is more for situations where you have the time to do the whole combo. Maybe I should just write a comprehensive sword Vella guide lmao. Bakalakadaka fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Aug 2, 2016 |

I haven't touched the new royal raids because they are an eternal laggy mess. Ein Lacher is cool and an interesting way to do bosses no one cares about for some unique rewards. Most importantly this patch fixed Ben Chenner summit and Lochlann plains so that you can dual box them without your alt crashing if you get too far away from them.

Some notes: - Incineration has been temporarily disabled. Word on the street is that someone figured out how to get free stuff from it without actually consuming items. - The event gear from the level up event costs money to repair so it's no good for low-level runs. You might be thinking, "why would you expect gear to cost nothing to repair?" The answer is that Ye Olde Jump event gear costs nothing to repair so maybe they'll do something like that again I dunno - I played Lynn for the first time in a long time and it turns out they nerfed her best move. Golden Arm, an attack that let you quickly hit enemies to apply Swift Assassin after dodging, no longer applies Swift Assassin stacks. This means it's now substantially harder to do the thing that Lynn has to do to deal real damage. This means I hate playing Lynn even more. - I'm still not allowed to delete the Login Appreciation Tickets I got who knows how long ago. - There is now a second reason to go Paladin and it has to do with fighting Shakarr in Ein Lacher: If you get hit while Conviction is up, it doesn't count as getting hit as far as the "No Hit" challenge is concerned. (The first reason to be a Paladin is to make "Super Cyan" jokes) ArchWizard fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Nov 4, 2016 |
