  - After Cast delays
  >Grandcross reduced to .5s
  > Magnus Exorcismus to 2.5s
  > Impositio Manus to 1s
  > Falcon Assault .75s
  > Focused Arrow Strike to .75s
  > arrow Vulcan to .5s
  > Zen increase to 3s 2 s
  
  - Fixed Cast Times.
  > Arrow Vulcan .3s
  > magnus Exorcismus 1s
  > Grandcross 1s

We will be having maintenance on Tuesday at 11am, a quick restart of the servers to remove the exp event and Lucky Packs. (15 minutes).

For the skill changes, these are a "test" if the community prefers these cast delays more than the default then we can request to make them permanent. For now they will return to default when the skill balance patch is made. Right now the zen skill allows a bit too much mobility compared to other classes, I want to see what happens when the choice to use zen to kill and escape carries a little more thought process. I do NOT expect that particular change to be permanent, it will likely change to some other timer like a fixed cast time of enough length to be meaningful.

Changes for Next week.
1-11 Eden Group quests
Possible Guild Dungeon mobs and MVPs getting a buff in power
Woe allowing backslide and Ninja teleports
Looking into KVM <-> BG conversions, after fixing BG
Investigating ways to acquire high volume items. (yes us trying to undercut bots while providing a service to our new and old users)

Hell yea. MVP summoner for VIP.

[DrAzzy]

!!!!!

Summoner already?

It would appear as though my decision to take a short position on MVP summon items was an unwise one!


Other than that, I approve fully of the changes announced.


What was wrong with the fish-parts part of seal 1?

[blitzrick]

Zen will have 3s delay ????? wtf?

[Lambor]

What was the correction made to Seal 1?

[Akin]

Wait what? 3 second After Cast Delay to Zen? Where are these random changes coming from?

[Angelini]

just a little bug i saw if you wanted to fix was when i used gentle touch energy gain on the side with the buffs the buff said gentle touch silence nothing big but i noticed it and figured id say something

[zr0rieu]

23 hr cooldown on summoner seems a bit too extreme

[faramith]

I rebirth my rogue and the npc took my 1.285m zeny even tho it said VIP will have it back??? wheres my freebie? i did rebirth a few days ago.

[Talvis]

The problem with FAS is not the after cast, it's the damn 1 SEC FIXED CAST!

[Andini]

hey you smartygms, ever think that suras need zen to lvl among other things, if you wanted to nerf suras in a way like that should make the delay on a skill like gfist, not one that is very useful in lvling.

next time you do something major like this, you should add an increased delay on posting so you can think more

Going from a 30 minute cool down to 23 hours is WAY too extreme! only 14 mvps can be killed in the 2 week span!

[Flower]

Thank you for looking into ME finally. Hopefully this is a nice change and will remain permanant.

The 23 hour cool down if and when summoner becomes perma VIP seems ok enough,
but to have it that long during the 2 week event seems extreme.

[Supatony]

23 hours on Summoner..? Wai?!

[Diarka]

LOL 3 secs after cast delay for zen...are you guys for real? Really bad. You guys want more people to quit iRO huh? Zen is needed heavily for leveling.. nerfing zen nerfs every skills, not just over powered ones. bad.

And there's an exp event going on. WTF.

Rofl Sat woe should be entertaining...

[sara]

Last year the summoner lasted for 4 weeks and only had a 30 minute cool down. Even with the longer time and shorter cooldown not THAT many mvp cards were produced! my friend got one AFTER killing about 200 Mistresses.

[TrueMaster]

I think what it is saying is the the summoner thing will be around forever for VIP, thus the cool sown is somewhat justified. So it is less of an event and more of an implementation.

[TheFury]

Zen 3 sec delay WTF!?! dude renewal already -_-ed up are zen and now your adding a sick delay at the end thats wrong man thats just wrong

[Allysia]

I just want to say: "Heimdallr I love you"! Thanks a lot for the summoner, at least 5 minutes in my stressful working day will have a bit of light.<3 ^____^

[Beata]

Thanks for the summoner event.

But, is it possible to shrink the CD to 12hour instead for the event? 23h when it goes perm?
Also, 3 second after cast delay for zen.. is this a typo? I hope so

[Tigra]

The suras are the ones QQing now!

23 hours is a bit much. Maybe make it 2 hours?

[Easly]

suras need to be nerfed more, i think fury should have a cast time too

[heyxsean]

Zen 3 sec delay WTF!?! dude renewal already -_-ed up are zen and now your adding a sick delay at the end thats wrong man thats just wrong

A counter to +9 kvm fist...now go spend more $ to nullify this delay...

[Charon]

When I saw the Zen delay, I knew people would get angry, but thinking about it,
what skills do you need 2 Zens within less than 3 sec for? (I remember a skill that enables max 15 spheres, is that the issue? Brb...edit: ya, Rising dragon, but it gets you the 15 at start and you'd have to resummon more after using these. What skills does this affect again...
Cant use rampage blaster faster than every 10 sec, anything else?
Guess the other spirit shooting skills like Tiger Cannon.)
