Hello it me.
Here to bring you another semi translated KR Mabi update!
Here is a link to the live broadcast of the special event they held!
I will be referring to the later end of the video where they release the new chapter 7 update and g22 story!
First, i'll touch apon the new system that will be added. It is called the 'trait system'. Some of you have seen this image already:
Each of the tarot-card like images are actually individual traits that we can pick to apply to our character. I'll try to explain this the best i can with my simple korean knowledge.
There are basically two types of traits. A 'Battle Vitality' (left side) and a 'Strong Dealing' trait.
Sorry for the awkward translation
.
But from that i hope you can tell the difference. One type of trait helps you stay alive, while the other helps you deal more damage!
Now let's go on to each individual trait.
I'll start from the left side of the image and name each trait from left to right! (disclaimer i tried my best to translate, the official translations may differ).
굳건항 의지
A firm will
초월: 생명
Transcendence: life
기사회생
Reversal
피해 흡수
Damage Absorbtion
충격 상쇄
Shock cancellation
And the rightside from left to right:
시간 왜곡
Time Distortion
쾌속
?? no idea..
급소 관통
Vital Spot Penetration
원소 연마
Element Training
연속 공격
Continuous Attack
They don't give an explanation for everything. But they did give video footage as an example for the very first trait i listed, 'A firm will'
If you go to 1:00:40 of the video you'll see! A mage is starting to cast Meteor Strike in the middle of a wave of monsters. (I'm guessing the animation before the mage hits the orb is the trait going into affect?)
The mage gets aggroed, and takes hits constantly by the monsters surrounding them. And even after their hp bar goes to 0, it refills back, and a tiny bar appears above your HP with a number in the middle of it. You don't die while that bar is full (or while there is still enough damage you can take based on that number).
There is another footage right after that showcasing the same trait, a warrior is using FH on ogres that ping, and hit him back in the middle of his attacks, but just as the mage didn't die despite their HP depleting, this warrior does the same. Hope you guys can understand that well enough to understand what the other traits may possibly do
Now here's the actual UI:
You have the option of actually picking MULTIPLE traits, and it's free to decide on which one you actually want to use. This is because, the designers wanted players to be able to pick and choose based on their own play style. The guy explained that this will allow for players to experiment on the different traits, so if you picked a trait and disliked how it work, you can choose a new trait that could work better for you easily!
From the UI, i'm guessing 5 active traits is max though. Just another new system to grind :^)
ONTO G22!
It was described as an entirely new mainstream storyline, but encompasses all the content from C1~C6.
C7 Synopsis: Erinn's past and present, and the written revelation of the future. With it appears a new and questionable organization, the 'black moon order'(?).
The 'Revelation' is the Apocalypse.
The Formor's old king, Balor's ressurection!
A new generation means new waifus and husbandos:
Piran/Pyran(?), Hymerark Order's Client **Hymerark: The god of freedom, under direct command of the Great Aton Cimeni. He is one of the three second tier gods. Taken from mabi wiki**
Maruade(?), Ruler Eirawen's Bodyguard (O-O)
Vayn/Bane(?), The Wandering Prosecutor **
Cethlenn, The Silver Haired Magician
Continuing on, the requirement to start g22 is to have at least 5k total levels!!
Yes, that's right. 5K Total. Some of you are probably thinking, ' im like ___ away from 5k'. We won't get this update for at least a year imo, and the reason why it's easy to get to 5k in KR now is because they had the memory update earlier last month. If you don't know about it, i made a translation post about it too, here's the link:
http://forums.mabinogi.nexon.net/discussion/16753/new-kr-update-to-help-newbies/p1
Basically mabi kr staff planned all this out, having the memory update come before g22 so that it would help players get to 5k total!
Now for the new missions:
The new mission: Tech Duinn(?)
Starts at 1:08:03 in the video.
This new update allows us to utilize and cultivate the new traits! There are 3 different missions. And each mission has 3 different difficulties.
The new missions look really intimidating, but they said because of the new trait system, it should be doable! This new mission allows for players to try out all the different play types with the new system. It's all testing at this point: Figure out which traits work best for you that will help in this new mission.
Lastly we'll talk about what you can get from these missions.
1) To make your traits strong, you can get a 'bree/bri/buri??'
2) Exclusive Trait Enchants!!
3) Exclusive Trait Armor!!!
That's it for the updates i think. Comment if you found any errors in my translation please!!
and 1 other.
