A video by ziu that shows some of the changes mentioned in the first post:

 

 

An interesting thing is that Homunculi will now also gain EXP from quests (yep, not only from kills) when you turn them in while they are summoned.

Wait what?

[kubikyuu]

Wait what?

 

The autofeed is totally OK, since that update will remove the ability to afk with your homunculus like you do now: Azzy AI will stop working and Homunculi don't even autoattack stuff on their own anymore.

[Svoike]

I love the job class improvement.

 

Finally! kRo deactive the Azzy AI in game.

 

The Autofeed... i think, the mostly have use this.

seriously， keep buffing gene? nice game

[layupka]

let us make some funds so that warpportal will buy that update as soon as possible we need to save this game.

[Toxn]

They just tweaked Shadow Chasers, now Homunculus, and next is Arch Bishop and Performers sooooooooo, pretty safe to say they are buffing everything up before Thirds Rebirth.

what about ranger? totally useless class now, we never rec ranger for bio pt, at least in IRO it is shxty class, not really sure about KRO's ranger

[Ashuckel]

i've seen in another translation that homuns are now affected by lvl penalty on exp received. Any bit on that in the page (on phone '-')

Maybe most classes will be buffed, but I have a feeling that mage classes especially warlock will be nerfed, as they did against wizard's fire pillar and warlock's frost misty.

[YangeWenli]

auto feed is cool is it useable for pets too? 

[Toxn]

will be nerfed

 

kRO literally has no idea what the concept of nerfing is, so I doubt it.

Not useless, just not really relevant outside of MVPing.

 

Our damage is -_- in WoE since most people roll a lot of reduction which bypasses even the benefits of say... MoT Card.

 

However for MVPing, we can still be mighty useful. Aimed Bolt still wrecks things, Auto Warger just got a buff thanks to the Bio5 Hat and Arrow Storm is still k, just not great when compared to other classes.

dude, ranger's dmg is a joke without unlimited, it can only catch up other classes with top gears like MOT card + unlimited, gene gx wl can do 1m dmg/s ezly now, even wandy and string can do higher dmg than ranger, it is totally useless.  

Arrow storm? totally useless compare to cannon cart, connon cars can do more dmg for each short and gene can spam it.

aimed bolt? totally useless compare to no cast acid bomb.

Trap is totally a joke also.

[renouille]

They don't know what "improvement" means either.

[fuyukikun]

And bayeri skills are still interruptable?
RIP bayeri (again)

It's not a joke at all, it's just difficult to compare to other classes that have been buffed hard by the OCP (GX excluded). None of the skills are useless PVM wise, just not as efficient but still more than enough to kill -_-.

 

As for Aimed Bolt, it depends on the conditions, but if you can get off at least 2 Aimed Bolt per second then you will outdo a no cast AB, I was doing 900k to Valkyrie Randgris, and that was without any defense bypass gears, if I had that a single AB would do 1.35m damage, which means that would be awesome.

 

Auto Wargers do a lot less damage than most things, but they still have some advantages (for example, they can kill Ifrit more efficiently than a Gene can).

 

I am not saying some of these classes aren't stronger, but that Ranger still is good. Gene has the best of ALL worlds, Locks have had a -_- tonne of love from OCP, GX has always been a strong burst damage dealer, and yes, for leveling Wandy and Stringer do a -_- tonne of damage, but MVP wise you can outdo them as a Ranger).

 

Traps are far from a joke if you know how to use them correctly.

Please stop referring maestro as stringer *triggered*

Could be on the update page, I'm not seeing anything to that effect on the patch notes according to Google Translate. If anyone who knows Korean could translate the updates page (since it's an image), that'd be great.

[ChaoticRK]

But before this. We[I] need the most important update for RK - which is the runes.

[Hirumminho]

Can someone tell kRO to start buffingthe monsters before they continue buffing the players please? thanks

In update page. It say homunculus will receive 10% of final exp that owner receive. That means homunculus suffer exp penalty through their owner.
