Town Changes

PvE Content Changes

Typhoon Krag Nest

The change that you all have been dreading... TKN is going back to the way it's supposed to be. It was never supposed to be this easy. Think of it as an extended event double drops that just ended.

Item	Old	New
Crystal Points	1000	500

Desert Dragon Nest End Game

Shifting power back into DDN to promote a raid oriented progression path

Item	Old	New
Crystal Points	0	1000
Zakad Crystal	10	15
Memory of Roy	10	15

Arendel Trial Nest

Removing a lot of the garbage. This should make ATN easier to deal with inventory space-wise. I would elaborate on how the drop rate works, but it's far too complicated to be worth it. Just know that the number of skill dragon gems that dropped would be cut by a third.

Item	Old	New
Conversion Gems	A lot...	0
Skill Gems	A lot...	Reduced by 1/3

Miscellaneous Nest Changes

• Cerberus Nest and Third Core now have unlimited revives.

Crafting

Removing crafting ability from Belin so there's less confusion on gear progression.

• No longer able to craft Red Dragon Legendary grade equipment from Belin

PvP Balancing

Wow, the devs still care about PvP??? ...

While the PvP adjustments may be slow, they are still coming! Bugs are getting a little harder to fix and take more time but the Transforming Classes revamps are still underway. Last time DA got adjusted to not be super saiyan 3 in trans. Now, it's Silver Hunter's turn. Next will either be Black Mara or Arch Heretic or both.

/\c1\Warrior

• [Dash Kick] put back to normal. Given air state again.

/\c23\Gladiator

• [Forward Thrust EX] Hits grounded opponents when dashing forward.

/\c24\Lunar Knight

/\c75\Avenger

/\c14\Sharpshooter

• [Tumbling Shot] Adjusted to not double hit as often

/\c29\Sniper

• [Class Mastery II] No longer activates on Tumbling Shot in PvP.

/\c80\Hunter

So, Silver Hunter's have been known for always running away and flying in the air where you can't hit them while they shoot arrows that delete your HP in PvP. Well, that's mostly changed. The overall goal with the revamps here were to basically make the class a bit more Acrobat-like than Sniper. Meaning, it can now fight up close and can't run away as easily or benefit much from running away. It's still able to be in the air and have long range skills. The class can now melee combo a bit easier. The bird was also nerfed! The changes should hopefully be overall positive for the design of the class. If anything ends up being too weak or op, we can still adjust it of course.

• [Spiral Bolt] Rolling left/right now has a stagger hit of 400 sab, 40% of description dmg. Changes SA to 200. Arrow atk sab increased to 300 when rolled, 60% of description dmg (range of arrow may be shortened on a later patch).

(May replace hitbox duration change with delay in future patch) Reduced tumble input lag by 25 frames (25 frames earlier), moved early end sa back 32 frames (500 SA stays longer). Damage decreased by 40% (may buff back a little in a future patch) Tracking dmg decreased by additional 50%.

• [Flash Trapper] Changed from light impact to stagger.
• [Ice Trapper] Freeze duration nerfed from 5 to 4 seconds. 40% chance to freeze to 100%. (Specialty B makes it 6 seconds).

Note: This allows for a burst of time in the air for about 6 seconds. Skills will be usable twice total in trans if they are used off cd with a gap of time. This is to help keep SH out of the air for the entire trans but still allow them to go in the air for a few seconds.
