New Developer Notes.
Posted on Feb 06, 2009 under Cabal, Euro Updates, NA Updates | 41 CommentsSeems like we will be getting updates again…..new dungeons, title ranks, weapons, skills for the Force Shielders. According to EU there is no set ETA for these, and may not reflect all the updates that we will get. When more info comes available I will post them here. Until then Clicky the link to find out more.
Currently there is NO ETA for this update. This means that the update is not expected in the very near future and is likely to enter our testing environment later this month. As soon as we are aware of the date the patch will go live you will be informed and we therefore ask (or rather beg) you do not create numerous threads or posts asking when this update will be released.
More details will be provided on the update closer to the release date.
Please enjoy reading the notes and as always we will enjoy reading your feedback.

I’m only waiting on the new Fb BM2 attack, play with that for a week, then leave lol.
I think there going a bit overboard with the titles too. New dungeon looks totally awesome.
Cheers
February 7th, 2009 at 8:06 am
Yea I’m more interested in the new BM2 and the dungeon too.
February 7th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
What the hell with the Alz title? It’s like telling someone “I’m rich, Alz Rip me please!”
February 7th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Guess thats why I’m always poor lol.
February 7th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Wow, FS getting another new skill
maybe ill go back on mines.
February 8th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
That’s dumb with all the titles and all. You’d figure we’d be getting this update sooner especially after the one year anniversary of Cabal NA. But of course our updates are nerfed versions of EU’s. Like the security keyboard, the people in EU got it but yet we didn’t…
February 9th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Didn’t you know? We’re second class players…..
February 9th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
If you guys knew how annoying that nice security keyboard is, believe me, you would not want it.
It’s neither optional nor any useful, if people are dumb enough to get ripped off their account data… hell, it’s not like only the owner of the account could use that keyboard.
It was a nice thought.. but it’s not like anyone really likes it (usual whining there).
greets
February 9th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
wtf. personal when attacking guardians are decreased by half?
to hell with that.
February 10th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
fck, you must be one of those douchers in nation war mid tier just making procyon lose so badly. It’s a shame, people farming points and what not, I actually like the nerfing. Now it takes even more skill to gain lots of points.
Goughghan, I know we’re pretty much last in line but I mean it’s stupid how we don’t get RoL+2 or +8 capes to drop. In the EU version they get both of those to drop quite a bit. Now I know that we have those items too, but the drop rates on them is like one in a trillion. I’m also aware that EU got an update to have the RoL+2 update nerfed as well, BUT before that those dropped like candy T.T
February 11th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Yea, thats why I don’t have much faith in a certain company…our drop rate sucks hard.
February 12th, 2009 at 6:47 am
lol if we had Rol+2 FT1 and FT2 would be so much easier and i believe ogp has the power to up the drop rates and or have events handing out many R0l+2… right now they are trying to improve but to me they did this “improvement” process a tad bit too late.. poor Kalaydrah is trying really hard to make a difference…
February 12th, 2009 at 7:05 am
A lot of good and a lot of awkward is coming in this clump of update notes. :/ Me likey the ability to actually level up in PF now.Seriously disliking the nerf of personal score in NW. I hope it’s not decreased by a crap load.
The wands are going to be changing their look. Should be for the better. I don’t like how they look now, lol.
“6. Added list of “WExp” on the category of the Blessing Bead”
Now they are making new blessing beads for wexp only. That’s freakin awesome!
February 12th, 2009 at 9:42 am
i actually like this NW change so people can stop farming guardians. A i understand so if u deal 1m on guardians instead of getting 100 points ull get 50. wat i dont understand is B. wat do they mean by whole dmg and isnt 25% of it a little too much?
February 12th, 2009 at 10:31 am
its quite messy.. i dont get it
if i got 4 titles, then my name will have lists of it when ppl hover mouse on my name?? @@”"
February 13th, 2009 at 1:07 am
I think the force blader class needs a transcender sword skill. Just a thought to throw out there.
February 13th, 2009 at 6:30 am
I’ll expect this to be implemented in March….
by then all the hardcore players have moved on to Aion lol
OGP needs to step there game up!
~dash
February 13th, 2009 at 7:33 am
Most of us already have moved on….either to low rate Private servers….or we just aren’t playing anymore. I usually jump on OGP to play NW myself.
February 13th, 2009 at 8:12 am
Thats exactly what I’m doing. The only reason for me to play the official version is when new content is released, otherwise im busy cathing up on quests in a p server lol.
February 13th, 2009 at 8:35 am
@Cabalian: You have the ability to turn off and on which ever title you want hovering over your head. There can only be one seen on your head.
February 13th, 2009 at 8:36 am
There can be only one? What is this Highlander? Geez…
February 13th, 2009 at 11:06 am
What about a few more trans buffs for FS and FA? We only have one.
February 13th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
lol ye this will most likely come in march.. i don’t think est soft is trying to get rid of competition of the other games coming to NA aka Aion if OGP would actually bug the hell out of EST and Est should have the brains to know that when their updates are released in the Parent game aka KR Cabal that they would see anything wrong with it and make patches with in 2 weeks time and then send them to the other cabals around the world.. waiting 2 months for a little update that will be good for like 1 months then boredom creeps upon the players again and drives them away…~sigh~
February 13th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I thought that OGPlanets prices were driving away people….Even with the exchange rate I figured EU prices are about 3 bucks less then ours. Then again my math really sucks…..
February 15th, 2009 at 2:55 am
wow. wow. wow. “{2}New Force Shielder Skills” “Added “Stun” effect on the Shield Splinter Skill”
I dont like where this is going. it seems that they want to over power the fs now.
1. Crushing Blade (crit dmg + rate)
2. Shield Harden (def)
3. and now Might Wish
all of which at maxed level 20 are higher than fb skills
I’m pouty because I have a force blader, fyi fbs dont have any self-trans buffs (all debuffs), and so seeing that force shielders get a +60 atk buff (higher than fb attk buff) to go along with their already high defense just makes me irritated.. it just aint fair ._.
anyone else feel this way? >:O
[sorry if I offend any force shielders]
February 15th, 2009 at 6:55 am
can anyone find a video of the Koreans running the dungeon cuz it seems that they aren’t doing anything with it to show a vid like how thye did with FT2 …when it came out a million and one vids are on youtube,gamers tube and those other foreign language video hosting sites but lost world was out for 2+ months now and no vid yet wth
February 15th, 2009 at 8:10 am
I’ve been looking for it Wiz, and I haven’t found one yet.
February 16th, 2009 at 4:12 am
When this update comes out be sure to make a podcast man….If your still playing
February 16th, 2009 at 7:02 am
I’m still playing…it’s mainly for NW though. Been spending most of my time on a PS though lol.
February 16th, 2009 at 9:00 am
@StevenN.
As an FB, no I don’t feel that way. Why? Because I’m happy with debuffing/annoying people and getting rewarded with a fancy hawt new BM2! /drool
February 16th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I have to agree with Nei…anyone thats known me for as long as I’ve been playing Cabal,I’ve always been a FB. And I’m happy with what I got lol.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:04 am
As for the comparing EU cost in their Cash shop with ours let’s compare with Permanent Costumes.
OGP=1,000 astros=50 USD(for 1,000)
EU =27,000 C.Cash=30 EU (for 30,000)
30EU=38.2950 USD
50USD=39.1695 EUR
Side Note:
EU has the Songkran Weapon avatars along with the Stream of Water Costumes in their Cash shop. I’m not sure when they got them but perhaps we may get them also with this coming patch. Or maybe we’ll get left in the cold with yet another Cash Shop new item let down.
February 17th, 2009 at 9:28 am
Thanks Nei, I really didn’t want to figure all that out again….I’m sorry but OGP’s prices are just ridiculous.
February 17th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Ive actually seen people with the Songkran wepons in the na version.
February 17th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
And as we’ve said in many threads….graphical glitch.
February 17th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
off topic questions fb wise:
pvp, trans debuff? or stick to honor code
(trust the other guy isnt using his trans buff(s))
February 18th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
meh the update seems very promising tho…and no nerf or improvement for wiz as yet oh well im looking forward t the dungeon and the titles and the SIG weapons
February 19th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Pvp is blunt.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:31 am
New Sword skill for FB please!! Its unfair, they are giving FS more credits.
How about the other Jobs??
March 8th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Hey, I’m from Europe and I wonder if NA Cabal still have the Xmas tree in BI like here.. I mean.. it’s March and Xmas was three months ago.
Btw the Title update is the same as WoW Achievements but you get bonus stats for a Title – yeah make ppl stronger when at 150-160 you can solo everything except FT B2F (where you can enter at lv125, wich is a joke) -_-
True, you can enter EoD B2F with 1-3 more if you want to finish faster.
The other updates:
new dungeon – weee, if it won’t be as insanely hard as FT2, maybe we will need pary for dungeons again, nice option for an MMO
new FB BM2 attack – oooh after two years FBs can use BM2, how kind
new FS skills – finally a character with a shield can be tank(?)
March 8th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Why yes, yes we do….what you don’t like the tree? lol.
