The biggest change that needs to happen

In order for Elsword to survive, KoG has to be willing to open up more communication with the international servers and actually take suggestions from us. It's not just Koreans playing this game lol.

This has always bothered me for a long time. They always ignored the other servers except their home server. Then again they do love milking money from them at any given moment.

Please do note this just my opinion, but before any changes can be made to this game, I would like to see KoG be willing to listen to our voices rather than the voices of those who live in Korea and spend a lot of money on the game. This could help improve the game significantly. Though that's merely a fantasy at this point, but one can only hope. 😔

Honestly the problem in Elsword, does stem into the developers specifically. And it's going to come across as a stupid argument but let me explain as I've played PLENTY of MMORPG's (Aura Kingdom not so much, Eden Eternal, Grand Fantasia, Astral Tale, Closers, not a whole lot of Mabinogi.)

But Elsword's problem is, the gears and progression.

In my case situation, Blue tier gears, or Set effect gears that are just Unique in Elswords case are normal for most parts they should be normal to progress regardless or play the game normally with no problem at all.

Elsword Raids and gears should not be the norm of progression, and if you have to have +11 (OR HIGHER) enhancements to make decent progression in any shape or form, to do another raid or area or playing for fun with no problem at all. Then it is NOT imo good concept it is the sake of panning out for the sake of panning out.

But Elsword has a massive LOVE for Unique and Legend tier Accessories, and Weapons. This is part of I draw the line for why this is bad in execution ( I myself got judged immediately for having both my Code Ultimate who has 15 Million, and Code Sariel with 15 Million * 13 Million if I didn't have Synergy on*, for both having a Stage 5 Artifacts. The Game saw no problem with it because I still technically reached Mirror Dell legitimately without doing Wall, Doom Arporia, or Serpentium Tower, not even building Exascale, nor having Atma Accessories)

My problem is I would LOVE to play the game with a Unique Weapon (not a Legend.) I would LOVE to have basic accessories and just casually play the game. Give Elite tier some love!!! it sucks but I would rather have Unique weapon! and Elite Accessories!!!

In my opinion I showed that, I made Big Boss and Raid Environments look completely OPTIONAL with +11 SoA Weapon from Event and +10 Tenebrous Event Gears.

What I'm essentially saying is, Raid should be optional, and the Legend tiered accessories, Weapon, should be an optional thing and not a requirement.

Is this argument stupid in itself, YES.

but at the same time, Elsword's balancing scale has been weird in itself. I know +60 classes a bit much, but when you realize not many of them get any changes, or "data proves not much." OR THE JOKE OF BLOODY FREAKING QUEEN GET'S BUFFED FOR THE UPTILLIONTH TIME!!!! OR ANOTHER CLASS GET'S THEIR OWN VERSION OF FREAKING BURNING PUNISHER!!! It's like it's a lot to work on for the devs.

They keep throwing things together to work, it doesn't always work.

I agree that the GM in the official Els discord about " Well we can't talk suggestions about a balance in KR servers as we have to wait." but at the same time, NA/INT players are expressing their concern about upcoming buff/changes that their main gets.

You're either doomed if you don't get a buff or get nerfed. or you're proud you get a buff. or you're already screaming about how they made your changes worse than everyone else around you.

Synergy classes got the short end of the stick of they're weird in their situation.

People’s reaction after reading my “the source of great disaster” post...

Wow I never gave a shit about the game’s plot but I never knew it was so interesting!

I’m going to go back and read all of the epic quest from the beginning thanks to you!

Rose is actually here to do something in the plot? wow

When I play Ain, I’m going to read all the epic quest 

Now it feels like the story is getting interesting, can’t wait to learn more

GUYS

EPIC QUEST BEFORE ELYSION

IS BORING AS FUCK

LOL

DON’T READ EVERYTHING IT’S SO STUPID 

It’s so dumb and stupid as hell

Well minus the whole Ain having existential crisis thing... now that he’s added to the game...

The reason the plot gets so interesting around Atlas/Elysion is because... I think I heard somewhere they actually have a story writer (or a team of story writers). Before that, they never had one overarching plot for the game, and they changed up the plot as they went along with developing/updating the game... hence all the plotholes and what the fuck.

Like, I’m legit thinking that when they first came up with the whole “wanna-be romantist Solace kidnapped the Lady of El and all hell breaks loose”, they never intended him to be the “actually, he was the good guy”... The story got so much more interesting after Lanox.

I’m actually compiling something huge for you guys in time for Christmas but I don’t know if I want to include every fucking single detail because many of them are fillers and mostly giving us bullshit reasons why we have to repeat one dungeon 50 thousand times...

Why Ain sounds awkward

A lot of Korean players were commenting on how his “polite” voice is soooooooooo awkward as hell... and it’s because he’s faking it.

He sounds SO fake. He’s like a 21 yr old  kindergarten teacher talking to 5 year olds... except he hates kids LOL he just wants to be done with his shift and go home...? 

You can feel the sarcasm/passive aggressive/condescending tone in his voice...

He literally says he has to pretend to be normal so he can do his job... (except Ain, there’s nothing normal about you...)

So he’s like that unless he’s in serious mode and/or is talking to himself... 

I mean you can kind of tell what an ass he is just from reading his interaction with Add...

Dumb elsword moments

Welp, I ended up selling some hair for 650 thousand instead of million so there goes my work for that time to keep crying and make more money

[nekuhikari]

Wish me luck >/////<

I accidentally assign myself to an Elsword Tournament in my region. From 420 people, I was choosen by luck >< I will fight againts 3 DE, 1 TT, and 1 VC in survival mode today. Wish me luck >< I am the only Mastermind in the Tournament and I want to show everyone that MM still strong even he was nerfed badly.

[caerilorem]

So... first I’m attracted to Mastermind. Now I’m attracted to Diabolic Esper... just great.

Lunatic Psyker is my least favorite now but I still like this adorable papa of the two :3

An Elsword Economy Rant

Elsword is like America. When we broke free and became our own nation (server) we had good ideas that would prosper our nation so that it could become one of the leading countries in the world. But these ideas only worked for a little while because of over-population. Over-population, whether we like it or not, is the reason that our country is having so many issues. Over population ruined our economy and established a social hierarchy. This hierarchy is divided into 3 levels, the rich, the working class and the poor. Due to over population the rich could only sell to the rich and the inflation of prices made no difference to them because they still had things worthy of selling to continue to make money. This however causes a major issue to the 2 lower classes because they don't have any way of getting the type of money thrown around by the rich people. So they must continue to work to never make enough money because of the never-ending inflation. And our government, whilst having good ideas for the future, need to think about the present situation. What this means for Elsword is that the GMs and Creators of the game need to fix current issues such as overcrowding and class balances. Rather than releasing new content, fix the old content so that everything/everyone is on an equal playing field. Because we've dug ourselves into such a deephole, our methods for fixing the game are very limited. First, to deal with overcrowding. Each server needs to have more than one server within (i.e. Gaia and Solace). Since Solace is still the dominant server on NA, give the people of Gaia a reason to level. Give them a free jump to 50/60 so that they don't have to start over again, which will probably prevent them from moving servers. A lot of people say that ED wipes will fix the economy, but if an ED wipe occurs nothing will change. Let's make this a relatable situation. You have $10 and the rich have $100. Now the government decides to take 10% because they want to fix the economy. Now you have $1 and the rich have $10. Although the prices will go down because nobody has the $100 to spend, things will still not be afordable to the people with $1. I believe the only way to fix the economy is to decrease the amount of money earned with each run through a dungeon AND increase the rate of IB sucesses. Decreasing the amount of money per run will help to make it so that you won't get 10mil by the time you hit feita (Tested). By increasing the drop rate of IBs you're attacking the economy at its core. If the drop rate for IBs was increased by 10% from where it is now, it'd still be a step forward because the more of something there is, the less valuable it becomes. This essentially deflates the economy. The truth of the matter is that Elsword has marketed itself as a free-to-play, fast paced, side scroller. True, elsword is very free to play, but it has become a pay-to-win game. The terrible EXP tables have proved that Elsword is NOT a fast paced game. The only thing Elsword really has going for it is that it's still a side-scroller and that it's "fun."
