Elsword

So...this is a thing.



Looks like an epic mech.

No argument there. Aside from all the girls screaming when it throws out big attacks. In the end it just gets fed up with all the yelling and flies away. More importantly, that track at 6:15...

Yep. Making one tomorrow on release.

[Rikuseroth]

I'd maybe try her

[Stove]

Hooray for Elsword Christmas!
So Aras get 50% bonus EXP, stay on 30 minutes each day for cool stuff...and we now get four character slots per account.
YES. Just...YES.

I knew about the ara thing
Nice to hear about the character slots thing

[Rikuseroth]

So, players that haven't played on a while get free k-chings if they get ara to lvl 15 or 35.

You have to advance to the next class as well. Little Hsien.

15- 150
35-350

It's something, right?

[Stove]

So, for christmas from an ingame friend I got kching.
I spent this kching to make my Deadly Chaser an Iron Paladin.
I do not regret this descision at all.


EDIT: and now my entire list of "characters I care about" is down to Aishas, Chungs, and one Ara.

[Stove]

Giving away my accounts.
I've got three, one has an IP, a TT, and a LH.
2nd has VP, IP, and EM.
3rd has RF and WT.

PM me if you want any of them; I'm quitting this deathtrap of a game. If I play an MMO fighting game again, I'll find one that doesn't centralize on gear, and doesn't have such a cruddy way of dealing with lag. I prefer SSBB's delayed reactions over no-flinches.
...or just wait until smash 4. Mario Kart 8 comes out in the spring so it'll keep me occupied until then.

Into Cosmic Break we go. I kinda wonder about the game's balance now since they actually update the UC shop now.

But there's always S4 League if you just want a plain awesome action MMO, with virtually no grinding and everything available from the get-go... Or SDGO if you like a slower, more strategical action shooter with collecting hundreds of different borgs that you can level up and customize playstyles and paints of.

There's also Closers to look forward to, whenever... And GunZ 2 right around the corner of early January.

That's about all I can recommend as 99.something% of MMOs these days are just RPG grinds. Then again, you didn't even say if you were or weren't looking for something new to get into... SSB4 seems so far away.

Oh, mentioning of balance this game has none anymore. All elswords and ravens can easily one-combo any player who doesn't mana break out of the combo. Chung can too, as can Ara, if done correctly. Oh, and Deadly Chaser and Rune Slayer have one-shot skills that do a good 70% of the opponent's health even when the user isn't even well-geared. Oh, and if you're against someone with an Absolute Time and Space set, you will be taking a good 5% damage per hit.
Did I mention Rune Slayer is bad? Rune Slayer, for the worst of it, has three tools.
He has a way to reset the KD counter, allowing infinite combos.
He has an active so strong it usually does about 30% of my health. a 30MP active that does a lot of hits, that WOULD give a lot of MP to the opponent. No, it has mana burn, so it doesn't. Also you can't mana break out of it. If you try, you waste mana. Mentioning of which, RS can tank for MP to get enough to use Luna Blade, which completely burns about 200 of the enemy's MP, making mana breaking something that probably won't happen. They can fly, have incredible catching ability, can one-combo anyone, they faceroll the 2nd strongest class in the game by a mile, and Way of the Sword.
If you let them get Vitality Aura, you are done for.
...Good luck with that.


Also, the economy for ED sales is terrible. K-ching(the real-life currency) used to be relatively cheap at about 4-5 million ED for 100 kching. That's not bad.
Well now it's 25 million for 100 k-ching. And because this rate has skyrocketed, so has almost everything else.
Ice Burner things? crazy expensive because Ice Burners cost k-ching.
Heck, there are some Ice Burner weapons that go for almost 3 BILLION ED now. Considering the max amount of ED one is able to hold is 9.999 billion ED...that's a lot.

I don't really get most of what you just said... But SDGO is the most cash-free game I've ever played. Sometimes people can pay to get some units earlier, and besides that, the only real cash in that game is to get things faster, or red paint, and some decals. Still, red paint can generally be used by buying paint sets that use it, and then replacing the other colors. Basically everything in the game is available besides the small stickers, and hangar expanders. The latter are kinda import if you want a bigger warehouse of units, but are cheap enough to scrounge up with surveys. They also offer amazing events every months, sometimes they include hangar expanders.

The game balance isn't too bad, either. It actually leans more on skill than anything, though above-average units still exist, and almost anything can put up a fight besides the fodder units (and even they have their uses with costing less points or having more lives). If you avoid matches with S rank units, it's a pretty fair game. S4 League is also good, but has many cash clothes and weapon skins. Technically there's cash weapons with better stats, but they're negligible and it's an amazingly well balanced action shooter for having a huge selection of unique weapons and skills.

If my laptop doesn't pull out crap 5 FPS like it did for Cosmic Break for the game's speed, I might get into SDGO.

Yea, I know. I got an email advertising ara's dark path and figured I'd check on the wiki if she or elesis had third paths yet, and found the OP god that is Add
