Here we go again ~~
I could not find my last post which was similar so let met do it all over again ![]()
I don't understand why you still follow words for words the korean patch when there was an issue for the EXACT same problem in the patch before.
5/10 runs for NORMAL MODE is plain stupid.
1) Normal mode is made so that player can learn mech before entering HM.
2) Normal mode is made for gearing a character (similar to CSNM) as such it is stupid to slow the mass, let's be honest only roasters will be max gear quickly the other will almost never set foot in HM cause finding a regular is hella hard, harder than the dg and Qing it is suicide.
3) You kill matchmaking: if FA and CSNM where 5/10 entries I would never q them for fear of losing an entry.
ex:
my last FA using matchmaking with my priest:
only 2 who knew the mechanics
0 shield done (all failed)
30 minutes for the boss to be 40% HP
=> After 5 try we disbanded cause it was HELLA annoying to have 0 dps and more thant 15 death for 2 of the dps
However even though I was bitter I did not feel that bad cause I still had 60+ entries as a tera club member
My last CSNM with my priest (again)
Dps was slow but ok (we killed the miniboss)
Mechanics were ok (mostly because the 2 who did not know how to do the fear / rage pattern followed me and I called for FIRE or ICE)
30 minutes again to kill the boss (it was hella chaotic at the end)
=> it was a one try. However, if when the group was done and I saw the fact that 3 people still had the fairy (I AM A NEWBIE) I would have asked for people to kick me (if it was a 10 entries instead of 80).
To conclude, make it AT LEAST 20 entries / 40 entries for NORMAL mode. You will never really slow down the progression of the overgeared players but you will create a bigger gap between the overgeared / the normal player / the noobs which is stupid. Again, you can keep the 5/10 entries for HM (even though it should be 7/14) cause in the end the players who will run HM will almost never do the NM (which is for normal / noobs) except for gearing up.
Moreover, NEXON also went back on his decision and made nm (40 => 80) => http://tera.nexon.com/news/update/View.aspx?n4articlesn=428
So, please do it again give AT least more entries for NM
