Rift boss nerf

General Discussion Started Last reply 28 posts
Was there really need to nerf crystal lving in hero rift, it was pain already.
For those who dont know yet, boss doesnt lvl all party crystals anymore. Just random few crystals. Clannies got 2 in group. We got 4 in 8 ppl.
Wasn't there always a 'chance' of getting or not getting a level? Maybe you were just unlucky?
nope, before ct2.2 rift boss when lvled it lvled all party crystals
now you have random number of crytals 1-9 to lvl

i did rift crystal lvling milion times, i know exactly how it worked and i see its different now

hmmm....I also did not see that in the patch notes, this, IMO, is a painful nerf.......it was hard enough before.
last rift boss, 1 cry out of 8
Wow, that really sucks.
What is the profit on taking a cry 12 > 13...if it's 50 mil, that means every boss was 50*8...400 M? For what used to be an easy boss...it seems like maybe it needed a nerf.
harder crystal lvling = higher price = same profit

now its like 100-150mil diff on teon 12->13...i bet it will be 200mil diff very soon

duno what game u play - it was hard enough - one could spend days in rifts without getting a lvl12->13.

Have you ever done rift in the first place? BECAUSE EVEN FIND A BOSS ROOM is pain in the [censored], I'm not talking about the fact that chance is pretty low. And no we have even more fun, random crystal. GG again.

I'm just thinking why the hell they write that it's illeagal buy smth for real world currency. Because almost everything that NC's does just encourages that.

It's true, but it was still easier to get a cry from 12 to 13 than 10 to 11.
Hello the few lvl 70 RBs spawning only every 24h, leveling up crys on full moon if you jump around a flower pot counter-clockwise!

They should put easier ways to make a cry go from 10 to 12. We're going to get s84 weapons and we'll be stuck with lvl 10 crys that requires to be lots of level ******ed and play the lottery everyday. I mean... whatever... not necessarily easier, but new ways to make it.

didn't zaken, lilith, anakim and baium level crystal allways? ;o))) (well i know, they are not allways up, anor, behe and others are up and alive more offten, but still ...)
Just gotta say Good Game Ncsoft, First rush an update thats totally worthless, ignore the fact this update is causing major lag spikes and now make it worse by making a system that was already screwed up even worse. Oh and btw add in what they've already post plus add: it even trys to lvl a crys for someone who doesnt have one giving them a message "you cant absorb a soul without a soul crystal" Yet lvls one for noone else in the party. :mad:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this msg always been around.
yea it is messed up that there is this ninja nerf (Omega, just a hint... FIRE YOUR NCK to NCUS/NCWest/NCect TRANSLATORS NOW... I know this would reduce staff even more... but those that are doing the translating can "s@@@ my b@@@@" (b@@@@) - to quote Eric Cartman from South Park if I may, because of their failure to do their job). This is not "its is feature (TM)" that the players need to find out kind of thing... but something that should have been in the release notes because it is a change in the game. Heck, they state that epic bosses have changed, why not this.

To be very honest, this is not the first time this has happend.

And to save face... just come out say.... "we messed up and forgot to say it". Granted, no where does it say that in Hero Rift that you could level all crystals in a party... but on the flip side of the coin they stated that the Epic bosses would get harder/changed how many toons could come it. I do not see how this is different...

Come on NCWest/NCNA/NC what ever we call you now... just give us the updates.

Yes I know, some (including me) will say "QQ" but again... after the release notes, I will say that it was a poor job. If we were told about the changes it would not be as bad as finding out about them after the fact (example, SB being sold by NPC).

I'm not sure Mystic Immunity is meant to be used to do low level RBs. But clans with higher levels are farming them so maybe it's time to make other ways to get those crys.
It's been like this for a while now, at least before the last patch...
What do you mean Jyrky, i did literally hundreds of hero rift bosses and it always lvled all party crystals, even in the ct1.5.
Now it doesnt, it lvls random number (we got 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
we got 2,1,0,1,0,0,1 and each time we got 0 one person got the you cant absorb a soul without a soul crystal message. We've got one clan that kills anyone who goes anywhere near a boss that lvls 10 through 12 and sells the 12's for 100m and now ncsoft screws us even more with this. Thanks for the update whats next nerf on how often you get the hero boss?

i hope its is only a bug and not a nerf..................
i am 85% sure its working as intended and its not bug but feature
on teon crystal for sa costs almost more than the weapon itself
oh great
yeah Aria's lvl 13 SA's jumped up from 130mil to 190mil ...

if it is no bug than its nearly useless to even try the rift...

lawl gf :)
yea.. it does blow, but what ya going to do.

What is the profit on taking a cry 12 > 13...if it's 50 mil, that means every boss was 50*8...400 M? For what used to be an easy boss...it seems like maybe it needed a nerf.



Classic official forum reply. A low level player who has no idea what he's talking about gives his uninformed opinion as if it should be a matter of fact.

There is nothing easy about getting a crystal leveled in the rift. Making it harder to do doesn't change the proffit you are going to get when it does work, but it does inconvenience everyone else who is leveling them. The rift is pretty much the one place lowbies like you can get a high level soul crystal, and yet here you are praising ncsoft for an unwarranted stealth change that negatively effects you more then it does the high level crystal farmers you are so obviously jealous of.
