NCsoft Q&A 2-11-11 (Regarding Olympiad + Skills)

General Discussion Started Last reply 14 posts
Thanks for translating from my clannie Dreams

After update, group number before awakening will change to 7 also.

If you learn the skill after awakening, part of 2nd and 3rd class skills will be remove. as you level up and learn more skill, more skills prior to 4th class will be remove. at the end, only 4th class skill will be remain.

if you enchanted 3rd and 2nd class skill, ncsoft will reward you the item use to enchant 4th class skill (very expensive)

part of 4th class skill can enchant right after you learn (Like 3rd class skill), some need to learn to max level before you can enchant (Like 2nd class skills)

Olympiad hero will down to 8 Heroes.

olympiad will add more reward for 2nd and 3rd place.

only class awaken can participate olympiad. (GG)

Kamael will auto unlock on armor limit after you awakening. but only for R Gear/Weapon. ( mean you still can only wear light armor untill 85)

My comments 1. changing party size for pre level 85 people is going to kill most low level content in this game making raids pre -85 very hard to do.

2. All your former class skills will be forgotten eventually, not just given new updated versions meaning all enchanting and farming of those forgotten books = waste of money and time.

3 . Olympiad only 8 heroes..... one clan captures of them all game over at least as it is now it is hard for one clan to capture 36 classes they have to pick and choose the most important ones.

4. Need to be 85+ to even compete in Olympiad cutting out a source of income for mid level people who hit 75 nevermind even 80+ people can kill 85s in Olympiad now, after they won't be able to compete at all.
It's like a year and a half away, anyone not 85/80/80/80 by then really is not worth worrying about. The party limit is an issue, but the rest of this 'might' be ok depending on how they implement it.
Retribution if anyone new joins this game you going to tell well in 3 years when your 85/80/80/80 you can actual do a raid or play with the clan?

It kills any potential for new players joining the game? Wouldn't just be easy to wipe the servers and start everyone over at level 1 and 15 is max level?

I hear ya on that part, and my understanding was that they're gonna make it even faster to go 1-85 in GOD. I was referring to the ones already here though. It probably would have been easier for them to just make this L3, but they're not doing that.
Sly if that is really how it will go down then I'll be playing till last day H5 and then walk away from it all. Might happen even before then if to many of my friends quit before hand cause they start losing motivation to keep playing when they know how it's going to end and I will not stay without them.

I hope NA NC Soft will at least consider the option of keeping a server locked in H5 for those that can not accept the changes in GoD o0"

I have read that they will remove/reuse all pre-40 hunting grounds, so I guess they will put in some system to make lvling up very fast (maybe something like "new character - quest - boom lvl 40 - quest - boom lvl 60 - daily kama/quest - lvl 76 after a couple days").
If the new requirement for oly is awakened 85, will new players be able to participate without having to do subclass/noblesse? If new pleyers only have to level 1 class to experience the new content instead of 4.. there is a much greater chance of them staying long enough to catch up to old players
Thanks Slycutter for those information. Does this QA have been published on any site yet ?


And +1 with Draecke/BoundInPleasure
I think the Korean community will lynch the development team if they get this garbage to their PTS, but I'm sure, that not only the Korean community want lynch them after these.

Currently we just can do against the GoD, that make demonstration against at anywhere where it is just available, at every community sites.
I would accept that if we had special server that goes on that update and old servers stay on "old lineage". I hope on RU servers they won't put it on all servers or if they will, I hope they will make alternative server for the rest. I bet this alternative server with old lineage will be full :)
and you really think ncsoft will update a game with 2 diferent contents?

DOnt think so.
imho GoD will not be able to compete on the global mmo market - no innovations, and the new game has much less space for individualization...

trading in my 1:36 to a 1:8 ... how many players will be exactly like me then? If its now 100, then it will be 400...

@Destructor do Korean players care if their char / class / appearance is unique? If not, I got the point.
Well, I think at the end this Goddess of Destruction update won't release or it will release in another form with another features, till not really heard nobody who loved the all features of it.
