today, I logged on to play SK, haven't played in a week, and i was excited to go PK farming, but when i got to moorcraft, i noticed taht the selaed looked WAY different. thought it was a glitch, so i waved it around a bit, thought it mightcahnge back. it didn't. now, it looks SO ugly, even though the dmg is the same. i like the older one better, cuz it looks way cooler. in LD, when u have striekr, and u start sprinting, ur SS starts shimmering and it looks way cool. OOO, please bring the old one back!
why did OOO have to nerf the sealed sword? D:
I think it's a mistake. They tweaked the Gran Faust's aura, and if you look closely the sealed sword looks exactly as it would if you just took away the aura.
So I think they'll patch it back in, or at least I hope.
Uh... The blade was like that before this too.
Am I really the only one that actually kinda likes the way the new sealed sword looks?
I don't like how they changed the look, but it only qualifies as a nerf when some gameplay aspect of the weapon (e.g. speed, damage, perks) is dumbed down to make sure it isn't overpowered. If OOO didn't make it a weaker sword then you should stick with it rather than getting an inferior weapon that just looks good.
The only very noticible change is that there is no green glow. I liked how it glowed before, but it really doesnt matter... The Avenger and Faust also have slightly dimmer glow effects. The 5* DA and GF don't seem to be changed.
DA and GF DO have some change.
for DA, it's charge attack are nerfed. not the damage, but the area attack width range. the Older DA has a wider area of attack range, while the new one has a smaller width area. this one is highly noticeable if you're a DA user in FSC as you can no longer do some trick that was only applicable in FSC.
for GF, the charge attack sword animation is much Bigger than the older one.
I love the new Sealed Sword look, but it just doesn't look like it would be a heavy blade now. Then again, the more I look at it, the more it just looks like a calibur wrapped up in toilet paper..
I liked the old charged attack too. Let alone it looked cooler, most of the time I am stuck close to a lot of zombies and having a wide range charged attack with a knockback really helps. I think it would be better if they just patched FSC's wheels and the walls, not the sword.
I've heard from some who think it's more of a buff to be honest. They say the narrower spread traps enemies as it pushes them along and keeps them there for the entire duration of the charge attack blades, thus doing insane damage.
Guys ... it's not a bug, they just changed the graphics on "low" settings - it's still the same at medium or high settings ...
The only balance change is that you can't glitch anymore at FSC.
I agree with Dirty-Harry, the new look is great but it should be a touch larger to really seem like a heavy blade.
what? purely cosmetic changes is NOT nerfing.
