Hello everyone. I've noticed the mobs in Verus Central Square had their skills changed after the maintenance from last night. I was on my sorcerer, I took up the Eden quest on Verus Central Square to kill Repair Bots and Exploration Bots. It was one of the easiest missions to solo so I always take it whenever it's available.

So, here I was in Verus with my level 2 Ventus on defensive mode (boosts Wind resistance to 100%, drops Earth resistance to 100%). As soon as I entered VCC, 2 Repair Bots dispelled me, I lost my Kaahi + the wind resist buff from my Ventus, they then proceeded to use Lightning Bolt and I died a painful and horrible death. Yeah, bite me for not having a Dokebi/Dustiness carded gears.    

The thing is, the Repair Bots never used Dispel before the maintenance from last night and the Exploration Bots uses Magnum Break and some kind of Earth Shaker/Tiger Cannon thingy now instead of Soul Breaker. Also, I take back what I said about the normal mobs having their MATK so high. It's not challenging anymore, it's just frustrating.

Anyways, that's all, thanks for listening. I'm off to kill Dokebis to get their card. ;__;

Those are supposed to use level 5 lbolt now, gonna fix that.

 

Dispel is a low chance on attack.

@Siobhan

Are you sure that's what happened? I'm fairly certain that the spirit control lv2 resist should not be affected by dispell. I haven't tested this myself though, I'll try to dig up the source if you don't believe me.

Remove that dispel please. Who gives a shit if people steel body mob, still needs a party.

[Terpsichore]

Changed it to dec agi instead.

Terp, at this point is it even official or your own ideas?

[FlashCombo]

There's no clear official info about most of the new content I've added. Some of the places (like Fire Basin) are actually some locked out quest zones you visit once or twice, I turned them into alternative leveling zones so the content doesn't remain unused.

Sorry i meant all monsters that got changed over the weeks in general. Not specifically speaking about verus or fire basin. They were fine when we used them, i havent leveled there yet after the maintenace but it seems something went wrong aswell.Cant furthe comment on them, but ican on all the mvp changes.

Do you want some help then? Idk who do you consult all these things with but as you can see there's some shit thrown at you which means there's problem with all those changes.

[Terpsichore]

It isn't easy to adjust difficulty of those maps, those mobs give similar or higher EXP than let's say bio3/4 while being way easier, I want them to at least sometimes kill people and promote parties.

[Psor]

It isn't easy

That's why I asked if you need help. If there's so much bitching there clearly is some problem.

[Terpsichore]

The "problem" seems to be not being able to easily solo those mobs, which was the very intention, there's plenty of older solo content.

[Psor]

Well, then you can add that into server policy. Something like "our goal is to promote team play so all the bitching about not being able to solo stuff will be ignored". That explains a lot and makes people know what to expect.

[Scias]

For me, that goes without saying. But fair point I guess
