Why is everyone worried about unlimited?

Curtiss Wrote:To summarize why people think so:

1) Boss HP got boosted by a lot and characteristics of the bosses also got changed. The MAJOR hindrance though is that bosses like Cygnus got boosted to approximately 62 billion HP, her expedition was deleted so you can only bring in 6 members, you have to fight her along with her Knights and her Dark Genesis now deals % damage. Possibly the only positive part of this is that she doesn't auto-heal any more but good luck taking her down with that many members when the time limit was cut down to 30 minutes.

Additionally, defeating the V2 KoCs now counts as a clear but until you can finish off Cygnus you might want to just loot these gear since they count as Boss equipment. I'm not clear yet on how good this is but the sum of the boosts should help people who haven't had Empress gear until then.

(Did I mention they did the same 30 minutes thing for Von Leon, Pink Bean and Chaos Pink Bean and their HP was increased?)

Among other things too Arkarium's snakes are no longer physical immune but their defence has been raised. The big issue now though is that there's now a death count and we all know how that goes in Arkarium. Tongue


2) PDR formula was adjusted so it's multiplicative instead of additive. This is a pretty horrible change for everyone that has small amounts of PDR that add up especially since your 100% PDR would no longer be 100% but some diminished value depending on how yours stacked up previously.

3) Your gear is not necessarily rendered obsolete by Additional Options, but you now have the unpleasant choice of flaming it and rendering it completely untradeable after some time or pressing on. Now, though I'm not a fan of AOs I will argue that those of you who already have high ranges should be good to go at least until you find that you really can't beat the boss since you're likely using level 140 gear and flames for those will be difficult to come by initially, while level 150 flames would likely come from Marvel since it's nearly non-existent.

We aren't getting Additional Options. As far as boss stats and PDR and etc, we aren't getting exactly what KMS got. It's going to be quite a bit different, but I can't share any details on specifics. Wink
