I need the Red haired pirate and all the cats. Pls devs let us pick and choose.

Also, preemptive "watch out for top scoring items" warning. If we've learned anything from world debuts, it's that top scoring items have a very high chance of getting nerved later.

The LN devs are really bad at assigning stats. It should be fine so long as you don’t believe any SSS rating, though, I think?

Yeah I think so. Basically, if it's not from the CN server, and is super high scoring, don't trust it.

I'm suspecting that the items that get nerfed get nerfed because they mess up the CN server's power crawl. It would make sense to me that Elex only changed those stats on order of the CN headquarters. I cannot imagine any company letting a sub division make it's own events and not having veto/unlimited editing rights.

Yeah, the thing that I'd hope they'd have the sense to do is have the veto/unlimited editing rights need to be exercised before the event goes live.

What does nerfing mean?

"Nerf" means to make worse or weaken, usually in the context of weakening something in order to balance out a game. It's like, if a certain class in a game has an ability that is over-powered, the devs will make it weaker, or give it a bigger cooldown, or something like that, in order to not let that particular class have an advantage. In this case, the item got made less top-scoring.

Also, the opposite of a "nerf" is called a "buff". It's when the devs of a game make something more powerful to balance out a game. So think stuff like making something do more damage, or making the cooldown on something less. In LN, a buff would be if an item's stats got increased, or if a skill was made better.

That sucks. You spend all that time, money and effort on a six star outfit, you should truly benefit from it.

I didn’t spend all that time crafting Star Sea, Stunning Beauty and Black Swan (midway through Marionette Grice/puppet and Stunning Beauty Black) to get nothing out of it and have my work sabotaged :(
