Another community request granted ^^



All monsters within the Crystal Castle, including the bosses, has been given a boost in their resistance. The Lizardman, Great Orc, and Jewel Golems have all received a maximum HP and defense boost.



The ONE thing with this patch that ticks me off -.-"

I mean... REALLY?? Some of the mobs in the CC can kill you in ONE hit and you make it harder to kill them?! I mean, unless you made it to where you don't have to be charmed and/or extenered to survive their hits, I think making them even strong is a bit much.

My rant only applies to mobs such as the Zombies, Vampire Bats, and Fugitive Orcs (all of which can hit upwards of 4k on my archer).

I feel it is fine to beef up the bosses, they were so easy that an archer friend of mine and myself DUO'D a boss at 67..

why would they change the server list, oh well doesnt make sense to me

Well if it's like DT, you will not want to go there anymore. Hope at least mages have some power in there cause in DT a mage hit 1/8 of any other class. then again a 100 mage can't hold aggro from a 90 archer in TM. but in DT a Mage is usless.

i had an argument with my guild about this, lols
i personally think making it even harder was a good move

look at how difficult and time consuming dragons tomb is for the level at which you are supposed to complete it - moreso when we could only get to 89.
that's how the instances should be - they are an extra "adventure" to do along your way - not the way to level and to use a quest crutch (like people do with the tower).
it's my opinion the tower should get the same treatment (times 100) to make it so that only those that really believe they are strong enough can get through.

if i could solo the castle on a lv69 full end archer with no charms, it can't be that hard
and i'm not that good a player (as many will confirm) - i utilised ingame items such as scrolls & cure/antidote pots, and came close a few times, but i still was able to complete it 3 times before i hit 70

edit: and the instances are very VERY specifically designed to be for parties - groups of up to 5 people, of all classes, working together - in those cases, DT & CC are doable with a little effort - if people want to be able to do things without effort, just level a noob to 40 in the tower, delete character, repeat



why would they change the server list, oh well doesnt make sense to me


maybe because of the 90 threads about it?
"oh no, we're appoline, why are we always on high, it's not fair, move us down, put cypion at the top"

"oh no, we're cypion, noone ever joins our server and as it's new, it's empty, put us back at the top, or at least second so new players start to use the new servers"

amazing what you get when you ask for it.

I have no problem with the mobs being harder. Its the ones that 1hit KO you that I'm upset with being harder. I mean, you don't even have a chance on them, they catch you and BOOM headshot. A party can't do anything to save you in that situation. They can only pray they aren't the next thing the mob sees.

[wallmaster]

Ok I went to that link and didnt see the same thing you did, can you send me the link to what you are seeing/the full patch notes.

No housing?
No Nerfing?
No... SNOW!!!!!!!?

With a cleric and mage this is incredablly easy.

SERIOUSLY, a cleric casting invincible and a cookied mage can run out there and nova nova inferno, and they are all dead. The point here is this, Crystal Castle gives WAY TOO MUCH EXP for it to be any easier, HALF A MILLION!? are you kidding me? Stop complaing, and go grind, or buy some SC if you want to spam CC.

p.s. not to mention crystal gaurd gives 900,000exp... that is ridiculous, go grind like a true player and quit crying about how you cant level fast enough without the towers.

AH, im nervous to see what my gen 1 +9's are like now, eek eek

[iownagez]

Wth? Why did they change server list, and Bijou is still 2nd last..
It's the server with the least amount of newbies coming in.. dam it!
I remember when I first started and there were enough new players coming in for all the King Slime KQ's to be filled up when we were at the top.. >.<

And I'm glad CC was made harder, because it still seems pretty easy before o.o

there's never snow until the 2 weeks spanning xmas
why does everyone cry snow on the first day of december?

the second there's snow, there's 9000 threads about the lag it causes and how quickly before it goes away - before it arrives everyone wants it, when it's here noone wants it, and when it's gone, they all miss it and want it back again

i want my prezzies now, but i have to wait til xmas, just like for the snow

I'm not trying to make this hostile, nor personal. I'm just telling you, crystal castle gives way too much exp... realize in 15 minutes you can acomplish in CC what it would take an hour to do in abyss or grinding somewhere. So if you are soley interested in spamming the CC for the drops and AMAZINGLY RIDICULOUS exp, then I suggest you SC it up, or stop complaining.

lvls 20-70 ruined by tower spamming noobs.
Did you even pay attention? I have enough quests saved up (not counting CC quests) to go through 69-70 in a days worth of work. Also, other repeats give similar ammounts of exp. the only one's that give 900k are the first turn in. The rest are like 600k/700k. From what I heard, bright gold bats was supposed to be a 600k repeat and muds is almost 1mil per turn in. Also, I have teva for the month, so dying isn't the issue. But its gonna be hard for me to make progress when I can no longer kite a zombie before it 1hits me. I actually DO want to spam cc just for drop. I can get T5 decomp recipes there and I want to get as many as possible since I have a 120k+ decomper char.

I still have over 30 pets from last year's event.

Omg, it will be possible to get a pet in an event? *_*
I want one <3.

[12markkram34]

People sell them for 500s on Bijou.

[FrostyFruit]

Patch is perfect...well for me. Especially the server list. I have seen threads complaining about low population a lot. Plus, the nerfing of the CC tower sets. I'm happy.

Well, the skins for archers are meh...lol. Though, I don't buy much sparkcash so w.e.

[Kathira]

Well hopefully they don't make cc to much harder .. lol fighters/mages/all classes at least loose 1/2 life in 1 hit to the zombies/vamp bats .. its all well and good to make it so u cant do it without a party .. however ..... when u watch ur party get 1 hit and then get flamed cuz somehow u fail as a cleric cuz u ddnt stop them from getting 1 hit .. it kinda sux .....

i loved cc til i lvled out of it =x and not even for exp .. it was just fun .. and challenging .. and i got to see some of the most suicidal mages on apoline just ... be totally psycho with it XD we had fun <3

=x i'm not saying that change is bad =x i just hope its still doable without loads of sc .. assuming u put together a great team
