[Realus]

Protection Spells (SW/Kyrie) are buffed, because damage output is reduced.
Healing (Heal/Sanc/Potions/Vitality Activation) is buffed, because damage output is reduced.
HP Increasing (Force of Vanguard/GT:Revitalize) is buffed, because damage output is reduced.
WoE Reduction Ignoring Attacks (Dragon Breath/Hell Plant/Gate Of Hell's HP Portion) are buffed, because other skill's damage output is reduced.
[Edit]Crit GX Buffed, since only Skill? Damage is being reduced?[/Edit]
All status skills (Vacuum Extreme/Shield Spell/Abundance) remain neutral, as they aren't buffed or nerfed.
All other offensive skills are nerfed, because they are nerfed.

Gear Reflect is buffed, because this is calculated before WoE Reduction. Example:
You are hit for 50k Damage pre-woe reduction. You have 19% Reflect.
You will reflect 9.5k Damage to the Enemy while taking 20k Damage. (Pre-Damage Nerf, You would still reflect 9.5k Damage, but take 30k instead.)

Barricade/Protection Stones are buffed. As damage is nerfed, but heal remains the same.

Emperiums are nerfed. As damage on these is always 1, and they can't be healed. Be if you try to deal damage to attackers, they take less damage now.

---

To me, this doesn't seem to solve the problem. It would be best to look at all skills individually.
I agree that this is probably just pushing the weak classes even weaker, and now in order to do damage you must use the strong classes.
While weaker classes (and low levels) can survive more, there's also no way they can kill a serious strong class (and high levels) with their reduced damage.

I guess we can see how this goes, and just let the GM team try working on a correct fix for the future.

===============

Edit: Oh, PS:
What ever happened to the server transfer thread?
I know it was stickied before, but now I don't see it on the front page. I can find it with search, but what's the reason for unstickying it? Has it been resolved or something?

[HayrohsLegacy]

Fix BG flavius plz

[Emichio]

EXP Reward from battlegrounds/KVM event please.

[Heimdallr]

We are looking at Flavius, you are Valkyrie player (judging from Sig) I'm wondering if the proper fix didn't get applied there.

[Kitten]

The drop modification based on level will return to default.

Boo!

[GuardianTK]

And....about the exp event? o:

[Heimdallr]

Well the EXP event we have to get the tally right at the very end of hte event to see if we hit the magic mark of 100,000 turn in to qualify for the PlaySpan exp event.

[Puppet]

Well the EXP event we have to get the tally right at the very end of hte event to see if we hit the magic mark of 100,000 turn in to qualify for the PlaySpan exp event.

haha Ymir Barrely got near 30k, Unless Valk and Ygg made up the difference see that not happen.

It only adds 1 point to the redeemed total everytime you talk to the npc, if you turn in 1000 coins, it doesn't add 1000 points ..., but only 1.
However, if you turn in 1 silver coin, it adds 1 point to the total (3? for gold), so you would have to keep turning in coins 1 at a time ...
I'm sure thats not how it's supposed to work, if everyone turned in his coins 1 at a time, 100k points would have been made the first day of the event ... i hope you keep this in mind.
The total redeem count isnt the total ales redeemed, its the number of times people have talked to the npc and turned in atleast 1 coin.

Why are you quoting Heim when it should be directed at Puppet? xD

[Kirameki]

I know who i quoted o_o ...

Btw is it 100k per server, or 100k combined?
Can anyone tell me the exact redeem points on all server?

Yggdrasil: 18k+
Ymir: 30k?
Valk: ??

[KmXSrd]

Valk is also at 30k

[Kirameki]

I bought $100 worth of kafra points and stocked up on HE's for x2 exp, if theres no x2 exp give me my money back!

Edited by Kirameki, 31 March 2011 - 11:56 AM.

[GuardianTK]

I believe they're counting it by the coin. Not by the total number of times people have turned in. So the display number for what's been redeemed on the servers isn't correct.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Worst case scenario, if we don't get 2x xp for this event, we still get 2x xp for 1 week for the Japan Disaster Donations next week.

Ahh so you noticed that.

[Mosu]

Ahh so you noticed that.

I just want to confirm what Oda said (in-game ((I have screenshots)) ) that the UGC, Bonus Kafra Points and other things are by MIDNIGHT and not by maintenance. Otherwise I wont go to the mall to get my $40 UGC stuff.
