How were the Cygnus Knight revamps? I think I quit last when they just started. Is the fire wizard as fun as it looked?

what horror the gas

Blaze Wiz was hella fun and then got nerfed like six times. I dunno how they are now, but probably still pretty decent.

Night Walkers are absurdly good DPS if that's your thing, only second to Zero. The rest of the knights fare pretty good as well and they all bring some interesting and fun gameplay. In particular, Thunder Breakers can punch lightning and water sharks at people.

Blaze Wizards I haven't played enough to comment on the gameplay of.

Finally got something good with those freebie scrolls.



Then I spent over 60 million mesos trying to upgrade it. Upgrades get brutal after Level 10.

So I'm thinking about coming back to this dumb game, at least casually. It's been years since I played and nothing is the same, so I'm not sure who I'd play. Is there a class that uses several skills in a rotation rather than spamming their single best skill over and over again like the old days? Paladin looks like he does a bit of that with the way the elemental charges enhance each other, but wondering what other options there are.

Maybe like... Thunder Breaker? I'm not sure how they work. Dawn Warrior will use one skill key but it switches between two skills! A bunch of classes will use different skills when they come off cool-down but yeah, usually its 1 skill most of the time from what I can think of off the top of my head? Try making an Aran, though it involves a lot of spamming buttons. She's getting revamped in a few (read: 3-5) months, and should be cool then.

I love Aran because she essentially has 3 variations of attack patterns depending on the combo counter:
1. attack->attack->attack
2. attack->attack->attack->finishing skill1->finishing skill2 etc.
3. finishing skill spam

The finishing skills aren't just single button presses either, but a combination of key presses similar to a fighting game.


Edit: Any spots left in the guild? I've applied as Exodontia

worth noting as well is the hot week of the 21st where if you get the box on the same character every day, you will get not one but two 100% epic potential scrolls (and really, out of the rewards, why pick anything else?)

also for leveling a kinesis to 90 you will get eighteen master craftsman cubes

quote:

Monday, December 21 - Special Medal of Honor (gives 10,000 Honor EXP) and Reboot Coins (x10)
Tuesday, December 22 - Epic Potential Scroll 100% (7-day duration) and Reboot Coins (x10)
Wednesday, December 23 - 1 Hour 2x EXP Coupon (x3) (7-day duration) and Reboot Coins (x10)
Thursday, December 24 - Equip Tab 4 Slot Coupon and Reboot Coins (x10)
Friday, December 25 - 2,000 Maple Reward Points and Reboot Coins (x10)
Saturday, December 26 - Use Tab 4 Slot Coupon and Reboot Coins (x30)
Sunday, December 27 - Reboot Coins (x20). And if you received a Gift Box every day this week (with characters in the same world, not world alliance), then you can also select one additional reward from the items given Monday through Saturday

you just have to log in on the days for the hot week thankfully and not adhere to a typical hot time schedule

I stopped playing MS because of the massive paywall, but seeing Reboot makes me want to give it a small go again. Probably won't stay long like I used to but willing to peep some new stuff out that I missed.

COME AT ME GHOST
Apr 20, 2014

My friends and I started playing again because Reboot (I think the last time I played was when Kaiser was released). I currently have a level 159 Wild Hunter and all my gear is poo poo and I have no idea where to go from here. I have everything Pensalir, but all of it's basic, nothing good potential-wise. My attack range is pretty poor, even fully buffed. What kind of equips should I be looking into now? Any particular set or what?

Try and get your Pensalir weapon to Legendary, aim for atk%, boss dmg, ignore def or crit %, not sure if WH need crit or not. Same with your secondary equip. Farm mesos buy cubes use them, Farm bosses, Do Dimensional Invasion 5 times a day for XP, grind xp at temple of time or wherever. Maybe level up some link skill characters to buff up your main. Demon Avenger gives you % Damage, Kanna gives you % damage, Mercedes gives you % bonus xp etc.

link skills are bugged (again) so every time you quit the client (or it crashes) you have to log onto each of the link skill mules to re-activate it on the character you're linking. it's ridiculously tedious and i don't typically bother anymore.

Is the Elemental Staff still the best weapon for a Battle Mage? I think last time I just bought it, but I guess now I have to farm it, what drops it? I'm not sure if I can trust these multiple year old online guides resources

You can get versions 1-4 from Emperor Toad in Ninja Castle, but the quests are a pain and the boss is level 180. I think you can get 5-8 from Crimsonwood Keep PQ but it might still be broken? It was on Reboot's launch, anyways. Also it takes a minimum of 10 characters to run so it would probably be difficult to find a party.

Just started playing this game again and holy poo poo! I started when the only two servers were Scania and Bera and wow did they change a lot. Made a Xenon and it's been sooooo much better playing through the early levels.

I'm really glad a lot of the areas and music are the same though. Was hit by a major nostalgia bomb when I got to Henesys and heard the music. I don't know what it is but I love this game so much.

also every time you want to fight him you have to do an obnoxious jq, and he's on a two-hour (i think) respawn per channel, so you can do the obnoxious jq only to find out he's dead on that channel and have to cc and try again.

I got to 156 on my bowmaster and got pretty bored afterwards, haven't logged in for the past few days. Game got pretty boring for me once quests stopped being worth it, or when the only thing that can really screw you is a boss that one hits you if you don't have enough HP.

When Gollux is fixed we should definitely try doing hard mode! The set effect for Reinforced Gollux equips is really good. Other than that we could do RA for GP, but it's easy. I'm up for grinding in a party but my two characters are 192 and 145, dunno where everyone else is at.

there's not really a whole lot to do that both requires a party that we could put together + is actually worth doing, and partying for bosses is gets an extra layer of clunky because pets will still hoover up whatevers on the ground and you can't divvy up the loot on reboot

it's still really awkward to loot esp. if a boss dies near a corner cause there's a pile of crap on the ground and you have to hope people aren't grabbing what they can't use cause welp now it's untradable

they shoulda made all boss loot instanced on reboot but welp
