More patch info
A couple of additional items about yesterday's patch:
  1. Cancel is now aggressive. It's not chaotic, but it is aggressive and thus will not function in a safety zone and will function just like any other aggressive spell in a normal zone on Dep. This change went in before we intended, so that's why it wasn't listed in the update. However it's in now, and we think it's ok to just leave it in.
  2. There were some very slight revisions to STR and Dex that went in on the Korean servers (This isn't the same as the Dex/AC bonus the players have been discussing). This STR and DEX change on the Korean servers is now on the US servers too. Basically some changes were made to attack bonus and bonus damage of both stats. The players might not even notice any change, unless they tried to look for it.

I wanted to be sure to mention it as being one of the changes from the Korean servers, because players often say that the US servers never get anything from the Korean servers. :) We are working to improve that process.

We are still working on the Dex/AC bonus.

Melantus. You guys are doing a good job to bring us all that you can, as quick as you can. I don't understand why everyone is always "gimme gimme gimme" like little children asking for candy. If we get everything all at once people then what do we have to look forward to? More events would be nice though. o.o

Sweet, we just got an update on str/dex. We're not exactly sure what the update is or what it does, all that we do know for certain is that it's so insignificant that it wont be noticed by players, unless they really look for it. I for one am satisifed.

I think it is safe to say we will be seeing many more lvl 48+ chaotic elves as well. BB mages are notorious for hitting mops that have already been hit and getting the drop as the elf takes the hits (fire valley). Cancel used to be our best recourse to use on such a mage, guess we'll just have to flat out kill them now.

On March 13th, NCSoft - Korea released the Str/Dex change to their servers. Compendium reported it as follows:

The damage bonus for STR and the hit bonus for DEX has been slightly modified.

Their description was just as vague as Melantus' description. It is probably a very minor enhancement but will hopefully help my Str knight and my dex elf =).

Well some players saw the change mentioned on some fan sites, and decided that this was yet another thing the Korean servers were getting that the US ones weren't. I was pointing out that the US servers did in fact get this item that they were complaining about not getting. As for the other things seen on the fan sites that the Korean servers have received recently: We are still going over those, and will have some more info on them as soon as we can.

So you Mel are saying something like "i dont care about giving you any information about the actual change but just point out that we (NCI) are as good as NC Korea"?
Well sorry Mel and no offense but i dont really care about you showing off what you do. Im only a player if I need information I need something usefull. Whats next? when you make a change you will announce as "we did the same that NC Korea did. Enjoy!"

What I would like to know is, if the STR/DEX bonus is so small, why cant Mel tell us about it.

I did notice a change with mage last night, mainly that it took me more hits with my 8str/7dex mage to kill a monster with my +6som that it used to, I tried this with a few monsters, and I talked to some pplz and they had noticed a change as well.

I for one would like for Mel to actually give us a explanation of what the change is, that's is of course of they even know what the change is, they may have just copied the code from the Korean servers and not actually know what it does.
