[Characters]

PvP damage inflicted by each class has increased. (Arsha Server excluded)
  -  Warrior : 5.3~7.5%
  -  Ranger : 6.4~8.6%
  -  Sorceress : 6.2~7.3%
  -  Berserker : 9.8~13.4%
  -  Tamer : 4.6~6%
  -  Valkyrie : 5.7~6.6%
  -  Musa : 6.8~8.7%
  -  Maehwa : 7.1~8.6%
  -  Witch : 7.4~10%
  -  Wizard : 6.7~9.6%
  -  Kunoichi : 6~7.3%
  -  Ninja : 7.8~11%
  -  Dark Knight : 5.1~8.2%
  -  Striker : 8.3~12.7%
  -  Mystic : 4.2~5.3%
  -  Lahn : 5.2~6.5%

Crowd Control (CC) effects during PvP have been adjusted.
  -  Previously, Stun, Stiffness, and Knockback effects were counted as a set. Bound, Knockdown, and Floating were in another set. Lastly, Grapple was considered an exclusive effect that could be applied in any situation except for Invincibility.
  -  These categories were introduced to make each skill effect’s characteristics more noticeable, but the difference in each character’s distinct Crowd Control skills led to some unfair advantages.
Notably, Grapple worked as an exclusive Crowd Control mechanic which further increased the unfair advantage that classes who owned the skill had over classes who didn’t.
  -  As a result, changes were applied to Crowd Control effects so that all classes perform attacks and defense in equal terms and conditions.
  -  This is only a part of the entire balance work we are hoping to apply in order to better ensure equality among classes and Damage dealt for certain classes will continue to be adjusted.
  -  For now, the changes in Crowd Control effects are as follows:

  -  Crowd Control effects (Knockdown, Bound, Floating, Grapple, Knockback, Stun) effects can be performed at max 2 times. After the 2nd time, there will be a cooldown of 5 seconds where no effect will be applied.
  -  From the first Crowd Control skill performed (1st time), the recipient will be resistant for 1 sec. and after will receive a Crowd Control effect (up to 2 times).
  -  The reason for this short period of resistance of 1 sec. is to prevent the stacking of same skills and also to allow combos to be performed in between. However, this period of resistance may be changed in the future for balance purposes.
  -  Air Smash, Down Smash, and Stiffness will not have a count restriction.
  -  When lying down, Stun, Stiffness, and Knockback effects will not be applied and this does not count toward the Crowd Control count.
  -  Even if it’s the same Crowd Control effect, each class will have a slight difference in time of maintaining the effects. This is due to the different actions performed by each class; this will receive further adjustments in the near future to balance this out.

Capes and skirts/dresses will have more realistic physics.

    They changed the core mechanics of how some classes work, ninjas, zerkers, strikers etc relied on grab chains to be able to kill opponents, those classes were designed with the old mechanic system in mind, but now they are completely broken and classes that didn't have grabs and had buffs in other areas to make up for it and now extremely OP. witch and wiz for example.


    here is some clips of how broken the pvp is now... sure the mmo community whine a lot but in this circumstance the dev's have really messed the game up a whole lot.

    What are KR players reactions to the CC changes? personally I think they are terrible and have ruined most classes in the game, or at the very least changed the playstyle of most classes that people used to enjoy and love.

      @Coracbra It changes the already trash pvp, which is a good thing. The people that are moaning about it don't understand the changes.

      @Frank

      "dont understand the changes"... being able to do 1 skill after a grab as a striker or not being able to use any cc after "echo spirit"?! You have no idea what this change means for classes who actually need a grab to kill someone. We have some narrow minded 260ap people in our guild aswell but try to kill somebody without that ^^

    There is something wrong with MMO communities. If the game won't change they are crying that gameplay is stale and game will die soon, if developers change something everyone cries because they need to think new way of playing their class.
