Talk about the new armors and materials.
Totally not a promo.
EDIT: Y u change topic to something totally other.
Patching done, can't even log in <-<
When it loaded it said server not avabile or something...
I'm having this problem too. I'll probably send a support request to the GMs soon.
Its probably because too many players are trying to log in at the same time which caused the server to crash XD
There are fixing alot of stuff, likes bugs and glitches that has been pileling up
it's coming up. Changed to the "Either there is a temporary network outage..." message
I'm now and...nothing happened. No mail at all. Either Three Rings is still typing their patch notes, or it was just a failed update.
darkcub, why are you here.
and I can tell you what this isn't: the gunner update.
I stole the joke from someone so they don't do it.
It looks like there's new gear at the Suspicious Alchemy Machine. New armor and helmets pertaining to the Kat Tribe.
FOLKS. THE KATS ARE COMING.
It could be that they updated some of the files in game ,so that when the month is ended the files will be triggered or something of those lines
yay kats. time to get a chance on BKC and BK seraph.
The gun- "and I can tell you what this isn't: the gunner update."
godammit
Looks like there's now Kat armors.
Everyone is screaming "RIP Lockdown".
"Everyone is screaming "RIP Lockdown"."
Why do you guys treat your PvPs so damn seriously?
I just wanna have a good time, then some dude who treats Blast Network/Lockdown like it's a BATTLE OF HONOUR comes on and starts screaming "LAG KILL" and "NOOB" at everybody who kills them and it just really puts me off.
Why does the black kat stuff use the same amount of materials as the others? People are just going to go for that one, maybe the others for costume or something.
Speaking of LD, looks like it's finally possible to get max damage bonus in T2.
ok, here is the summary:
every kat cowl has now a raiment counterpart.
BKC has now BK Raiment as a counterpart, that costs wicked whiskers, that are related to magrel. you need 6 to craft a BKR, and 3 fetishes.
depending on how you obtain whiskers, BKR will be the poor man's BKC or BKC v2.3 .
Well, I like the new armors. Now everyone can have a matching armor for their helmets.
I expect to see a lot of complete Kat sets in Lockdown.

I agree. Why do you people treat PvP so seriously?
To me, it's just a test of skill and a fun way to pass the time when bored.
This was the worst possible way they could have ever implemented the Raiments. What are the odds of finding ONE book of dark rituals, let alone SIX for the whiskers?
"This was the worst possible way they could have ever implemented the Raiments. What are the odds of finding ONE book of dark rituals, let alone SIX for the whiskers?"
Now that I realize it, I actually agree. At least we can still get Black Kat Cowls, unless OOO patches it and changes it to Black Kat Hoods.
I realize it's to balance out the god-like power of universal damage bonus Max, minor freeze immunity, movespeed medium, and with some clever UVs/Trinkets/Perks, CTR and ASI Max as well, but this...
This turned the most monotonous grind into an even more monotonous grind.
And now I've firsthand witnessed the greediness of the community.
>joins party.
>gets kicked before I even finish loading
>swarm of monsters
>dies
>repeat ad nauseum.
about the BKC raiment and the other kats raiment, on BKC raiment i agree that should get the whisker but for God sake, 6 its 6 effing books. 3 could be fine, but whatever, on the other kats raiment i see it unfair, i mean you got your 6 whiskers and which one you will craft? obviously the BKC raiment, the others should have used the kat tribe fetishes to craft it just kinda pointless its just like:
"Hey winner! you can choose between these 4 prizes: a water bottle, an apple, and cookie jar OR ONE MILLON DOLARS" which one you will go? obviously the millon dolar.
Anyway, if someone want to make party to grind kats, or a book party (i pay 80k cr for the slot (or 1k Ce) send me a whisper at: Nighty-Mx
I explained to a friend over Skype that I need to get a Kat Tribe Fetish, and I could sense absolute disgust through my screen.
I don't get it why it's Raiment... had it been other armor I would give a damn but sadly I do not care about that one
And I can do math, I won't make it to 6 or more Magrel fight in 2 weeks while attending school
If you happen to perform (accidentally, we assume) a Dark Ritual (yes, THAT dark ritual) and survive the encounter, you may find yourself in possession of a Black Kat Cowl or a Wicked Whisker
I hope you upped the % drop of the book or be prepared for a slur of insults on your forum OOO
This brings my whole "trade X amount of pages for a book" argument much more valid. Because I love to collect angelic costumes and these raiments will tease me forever after.
Can someone explain the logic of making the 4* Black Kat Mask craftable with materials you can only get from the same fight that gives you the 5*? Or am I missing something?
results are: BKR is BKC v2.3, unless they upped the chanced for the book so ridiculously high that everyone will have 6 BKCs before having a BKR. well, at least we can be in the summoner's party and get the wisker.
Wicked Whiskers drop for everyone in the party. You don't need to find six books, only help fight Margrel six times. That seems to be the case?
"Fight Margrel six times" still means six books have to be used. Unless one party gives you a load of whiskers, or if they're unbound, this is the most ridiculous grind ever.
10/10 best idea since Shard Bomb update.
I think I'll write a memo on Pastebin detailing the whole RNG debacle and show who the true villains are.
SPOILER: It's SEGA.
Annnnnnddddddd the miserable, grindy event is even more miserable and grindy! The additional armors are strangely all priced the same-
Would you like:
A) Mediocre armor
B) More mediocre armor
C) THE GREATEST ARMOR OF ALL TIME
D) Decent bomber armor that is still mediocre
HMMMMMMMM.. I'm gonna have to go with the 2nd mediocre armor. This whole thing could be fixed by...
Step One: Black kat cowl + Black kat armor = craftable only with whiskers
Step Two: Everything else = craftable with the traditional materials
And then they didn't fix the balance on these items. I'm all for using the extra kat cowls, but they are kind of... stupidly weak compared to black kat, which makes them a sort of consolation prize. Kind of like those ribbons they give kids for losing, like- "Good job billy, you came in 20th place against the other 25 children! You get a medal!" It isn't like black kat cowl is a hard item to fix balance wise either. Here's a hint: Glass cannon armor isn't glass cannon armor when it has +4 resistance against something and the same pure defenses as another line of non-glass armors...
Speaking of which, I've killed Margrel how many times now? Like 10? And I get nothing for that? When new players to the event get not only the same cowl I get, but 1/6 of the new armor? I mean, come on...
I will say, however, that the art they made is truly lovely. I particularly love the torn look on the raiments, even if I won't ever get to see them in action-- aside from the one or two players that actually blow millions of crowns on an armor piece that just looks neat.
I see what you did there.
I'm still looking to buy a Black Kat Cowl. Offering 25k CE for a BKC.
Does anyone know the stats of the new Kat armors yet? They aren't on the wiki yet.
~Elt
^ you can get the stats on the mistery alchemy machine, but its pretty much the same from the cowls.
Also: looking for margrel invite, 80k cr (or 1k Ce) for invite :T PM me
Black Kat stuff has damage bonus high and movement speed low for 3*-5*.
The others are the same as their masks.
SK team:
I don't mind grinding. But unless you've increased the drop rate of those books, you've just made an absurd amount of grinding necessary to obtain this stuff. I'm sure you realize that, which means this probably isn't going to change. If this is the grinding we should expect in future events, then you've lost me. I just don't see this being realistically achievable except for a very select few.
Hopefully I'm wrong and the book drop rate was increased. I'll wait and see as I really don't want to even think about the time investment required to even obtain one of the 3* raiments.
Some preliminary musings:
Black Kat armor? So... the devastation caused by the Chaos buff was for nothing?
Whiskers? So.. we don't get any retroactively for fighting the Boss in the past? How many drop per fight? You only need 1 for the 4* Black hat, but the 5* armors need what, 6?
Can't upgrade the 4* black kat hat, but the differences between it and 5* are standard small defensive buffs, so feel free to not pursue a BKC.
Kat Hats look primitively ugly compared to the armors.
Cat tails would have sold better if people knew the armors were coming I bet.
A complete shadow demo set at last, it only took 3 and a half years to arrive. This is big news. Shame about the shock weakness.
Grinding for a Gun set is questionable, if you really need freeze resist then OK, but if you saw the sets on the last test server opening then don't bother because theres a set with similar but better stats.
Sword set is an alternative to Snarby, but again, is it worthy of grinding? Only UV micro managers need apply. If a gunner style update for swords happens, then don't bother with it for already mentioned reasons.
Found 4 non-scripted Black kats during the daily prestige, chance of spawn possibly buffed? If so, makes sense with the need to collect whiskers from the boss fight - So having an ultra rare and therefore pointless boss now going to pull its weight?
Max damage possible with tier 2 gear? Its bad enough the game has been systematically strangling tier 3 to death, now you don't even need 5* gear to be a reckless T2 killing machine while collecting 3* orbs to make stuff to sell for 20Kcr+ a pop. And the recipes are easier to sell, too. Second Tier is Best Tier.
My concern with now having not 1 but 2 power sets, is that there is nowhere to go from here. Apart from a Piercing 'Power' set, nothing in the future will matter.
The system supports an offensive buff stack from -6 to +6, which should have been plenty of headroom to play with, but for whatever reason the negative portion was forgotten about. The only other triple class set, Fallen, should have been the template; borrowing from one homogeneous part of the stack to pay another is significantly more logical than borrowing from an entirely different dimension of statistics.
In my opinion, the cowls and the raiments don't match. The colors seem off. Also, I hate the whole whisker thing. Why can't Black Kats have like a 2% of dropping them instead of having to find an ultra rare book 6 or so times.
EDIT: title changed....
Material acquisition looks like a long grind, and during my college exam week. No thanks. I might be more enthusiastic if this were during a break, but I feel like I'm out of steam for this sort of thing.
