Changes to Krexel Boss?

Hello!
Yes, like what Kimberly mentioned, our goal with this patch was to prevent people from aggro abuse and make the boss slightly more challenging by increasing its damage. But the problem I see here is that something got messed up in file and now its outputting same damage as what HT body does, which was definitely not intentional by us. So to give you some changes that we wanted to make:

1. Krexel now hits anywhere on the map, making aggro abuse impossible
2. First body max magic damage has increased from ~2.2k -> 3.2k
3. Second body max magic damage has increased from ~3.2k -> 4.1k

Again, all the changes that were made besides these were unintentional (ex. exp distribution) so expect those to be fixed/adjusted after next server restart.
Feel free to let us know how it plays and all feedbacks are welcomed!

 

So just to clarify, the damage that Krexel deals has been increased, but was not supposed to be increased to the extent that it currently is? Because as of right now, Krexel hits anywhere around 2k~7.7k magic damage on me. Like Vivi pointed out, its current, updated damage output is unfriendly towards characters who do not have more than 7k of HP (either because they did not wash or cannot find a DK to party with).

Would love for some further clarification as shot seems to be implying that the damage range for Krexel was meant to increase for roughly 1k rather than up to 4k. Maybe I'm missing something about how magic damage works.

(included a ss of the max it hit on me for fun, i would have died if i didn't have hb, so that was fun.)

 

Correct.
The only values that we intended on adjusting were magic attacks because it made the boss way too easy to defeat, which used to hit around 2-3k maximum. But for some reason we made those attacks similar to touch damage (~7k) which again, were not intentional by us. This should be fixed on next restart as well as giving incorrect exp values when the first body is killed.

 

Great, thanks for the update and clarification!

 

Hi, any updates on when the damage will be fixed?

 

Thanks for the update. I didn't see anything recently about it, so I thought I would check back. Looking forward to the patch then!
