1) I'm no economist, but crashing the market for every mvp gear simultaneously is surely not a good thing.

5) As is, it's a worthwhile place to mob without the mvp drops because it's easy, mobby, and decent exp.??It seems like you're trying to help new players overcome a gear barrier to pvp, but I believe you have missed the mark.??The main barriers that need to be overcome are skill and consumables.??You can overcome the first by making the dungeon difficult, yet worthwhile from an exp standpoint.??Consumables are the main barrier to playing any sort of killing class (sinx needs edp, champ needs ygg berries, creator needs AD, and everybody loves potions).??Having the dungeon produce some quantities of these things would help support an active WoE/PvP scene.??The dungeon doesn't have to make it practical for one person to sit and farm his own consumables, but it could put some on the market for people to buy.

Azote, i guess u missunderstood me... I wasn't speaking about value of the item, i was speaking about the item itself. There's a difference between 1 and 3 rare items being vended at a time.

IMO, the key to closing gear gap for new players is farmable BG. As was said somewhere else in another topic - "BG meant to be an opportunity for new players to get pvp gears in an easy way".

Changes to Warzone monsters that applies as of tonight:
- All monsters have received a HP boost
- All monsters have received a Defense and Mdef boost

Perma EDP for CP, Perma cloak and 100% sonic blow.
If possible, add 56% demi human defense would be better than simply adding Def and Mdef (too many skills that bypass them).
Another adjustment that might work, is giving them some specific elements (ex. holy, shadow, ghost, etc). That already will make it a little more challenging.

Please read the thread before you over react. As sated by Azote-

Azote and GM team is trying to balance the monsters to give people a chance, not make it entirely impossible for players to kill you. Your monster is aiming to be okay, but not broken stupid. Perma EDP, cloak, and 100% sonic blow puts your mob in broken stupid area.

Also, monsters don't use cards, so there's no way to code into them card and gear effects like demi-human reduction. Sadly, the only way Azote has to make us have more defenses is increasing HP, def, mdef (hence the recent buffs to these three things).

I do agree that elements should be added not for the survivability of the mobs, but for the challenge of the players facing them. It increases the difficulty of the dungeon in both solo and group farming. For solo parties, you have to bring different gears to fight against different elements and races, instead of one to cover everything. In party settings, it increases it because you can't just bring a HW to cover everything, and then lvl 10 SG to win.


Finally, just because it's a pet peeve of mine:

Yes, it will be available to others, but iirc Panda said it will be achieved with buying entrance... for WoE points. Magic.
God i have too many characters. Just call me Bisu and let's end this -_-

Because I'm an English major about to become a real life professor (Only 3 more semesters and I'm finally done!), and certain mistakes in English hurt my head. I didn't do it in a rude manner, I simply pointed it out so that the mistake wouldn't be made again. I didn't name call, call them an idiot, or anything like that. As a polyglot myself, I understand that languages are hard to learn and I appreciate when a native speaker corrects me so that I don't make that mistake again. Sorry if I offended you with trying to help a person become better.

PS- Even if you're not a native English speaker you should at least know that it's spelt 'you' not 'u'. That's basic pronoun usage that you learn in your first ESL class. Kissy2

RE: adjust War Zone drops/drop chances
There were some further adjustments on warzone monsters in terms of drops. We even made a excel sheet to calculate how much average zeny per kill each mob yields in order to better balance each one, we'll use it for the future mobs as well.

You can @mi 3000 and 3021 to 3029 to find out exactly who drops what. For a short summary there is no longer variants and the ifrit ring and there are some consumables. To those who gave constructive feedback thank you.

It's likely that Azote will be playing with the stats a bit, originally we wanted to use the player's base stats only, but in some cases it doesn't make sense, some of the mobs need more dex to hit real players, things like that.
