Separation of G16s2's notes?

Okay, since it's been announced that they're going to split Generation 16, Season 2 into two or more parts, because they want to spread the patch out across the Summer. Can we separate the G16s2 patch notes as "Generation 16: Season 2 Genesis, Part 1" and "Part 2" for the time-being?

Sauce?

Well, think of it--it's being split into two separate patches to cover it. Some of the patch notes are only being implemented, while it's being implemented at a different time. I will search for a sauce (because Sabina has said it on the forums) and I have organized some of the notes, but I will wait to change it when a moderator confirms this change.

Edit: On the first page, #4 post. Second page, #19 post. http://mabinogi.nexon.net/Community/#%2Fshowthread.php%3F421449-Experience-a-new-start-in-Genesis!%26p%3D3437199%26viewfull%3D1%23post3437199%26nxid%3D10

Just in case, I have the source link in.

It would probably be better to rename the second update G16S3 or G16S2 Extra. Like we did in the past. (Also, give a link if you see information on the perfect skill reset capsules before the update finishes. o .o)

Well, Generation 16, Season 3 is the Puppeteer. Also, Sabina has announced that this is a two-part patch for this maintenance, but they need to do further testing with Bard before they release it. The Perfect Skill Reset Capsules will be placed into the Part 2 Maintenance, until it's fully confirmed.

You can view the edited version of the patch on my testground page here. If there's anything incorrect there, then just let me know. I did a bit of organizing with the skills and such.

G16S3 MIGHT be puppeteer for Korea (we don't know if it will be for Korea or if they're holding it off for G17), but that doesn't mean their G16S3 won't be our G16S4. (Also, there are a lot of minor updates that were merged into one season updates in the past in NA, same could happen with all the Korean post-G16S2 updates.)

For now, let's just keep it Part One and Two for the time being. I'm just going to wait for a moderator's approval, before I make the switch on the page. Alongside, Bard was originally implemented for the Genesis Patch (which was the main theme of Genesis in Korea), so that's why I'm going with the argument of Part One and Part Two.

The page looks good, although, just wondering, did you change anything else besides separation?

A little housecleaning in the patch note, since everything was scattered about. I did put some 'confirmation' notes to the side of some facts, just to verify if Nexon NA implemented it or not--when the patch comes live.

I'd prefer if we left the current name alone and just called the next patch G16S2 Extra... *coughinfodudecough*

and i doubt they'll call the next update Genesis again...

Well, that kinda ruins the whole purpose of calling it Genesis, since it did feature Bard plastered all over it more than the Dynamic Combat system. However, Sabina does acknowledge that it's two separate patches for one season.

I'm pretty sure it's called Genesis because of the G1-3 revamp, not the Bard destiny. :C

Also, can we put the revision on my testing ground over your current version, Ikki? I did clean it up and organize it, since there was some parts that needed to be organized. Also, I would like for the credit of doing the revision, since it was my idea in the first place. o -o;

On the Genesis, it can be argued; however, it was plastered with Bard-related things in the Genesis Patch. That's why many people has been looking forward to Bard in this maintenance; however, that's put off into the second half of the patch.

I doubt it'll be...part 1, part 2, part III...part X. It'll be more like:

• G16S2p1 - Genesis
• G16S2p2 - Rise of the Bards
• G16S2p3 - ???

and so on...also I added notes and changes to G1, G2, and G3's pages based on the test server we have. According to the GMs overseeing it, it's gonna be extensively tested before release...so yeah...it's highly likely we'll be getting a finalized patch based on the testing data...of course bugs are sure to come.

I second Kevin, we don't need to make it that complicated... x .x

Just leave it at extra and move the stuff into the appropriate places once implemented...on a side note, should I remove the Test server data from the pages I added them in o-o?

The official titles are called:

"Mabinogi: Genesis" (G1-3 Renewal, Dynamic Combat)
"Mabinogi: Maestro of the Battlefield" (Bard Destiny)

Use those instead of Part 1, Part 2, etc.

Nexon isn't following KR's update schedule anymore. They're making their own updates of content. I doubt we can truly call them Seasons anymore.

o.o That's nice. at least it'll keep use busy for the next couple of months.

wait, where did "Maestro of the Battlefield" come from o-o?

I remember hearing it from somewhere for KR. They called it that. I can't remember where on KR's site though.

I don't remember anything about that. I might take a look into this later.

Found it.

Either way, we probably shouldn't use that if/until NA uses it, lord knows G15 has at least 5 different names.

Just chatted with Sabina earlier today. She said they're going to give it a name, but felt that KR's was too long (Mabinogi: Battlefield Maestro).

Which... I don't understand how that is too long of a name.

that about the name sounds like excuse, maybe they divided the patch because of summer thinking that g16s2 could last longer to keep players active and investing nx cash. Out of this patch they used to bring merged patches for Mabi NA like g15 s3 and s4 in 1 patch and g14 s1 and s2.

That was the reason why they divided the update. People are bitching that they are bored with Genesis already. Imagine if they released Bard too. About 1/2 would probably rank their skills, and get bored with it after the first week.

I support Nexon in breaking it up, why release everything at once now that we're caught up?

Meh. Genesis wasn't really something to have fun over. It's more of a filler season for the newbies.

Us hardmode elves enjoy the generations. o no

Genesis is rather interesting...I mean...yeah there's a loss in cutscenes and perhaps story changes, but it holds me just fine. plus with the reset capsule I can try something ridiculous...like.......Fighter Mage Hybrid :D!...not that that's a good thing...though it's just for kicks and giggles o -o;;

Genesis make combat more fluid and about the diference of cooldowns between Asia and NA servers, well i just think that was on porpuse because in general the NA public complains more than Asia (i.e. has been a few days of g16s2 p1 and many ppl is already complaining about the changes :p). now the only reason to do not clear chapter 1 is lazyness :p because its extremelly easy now.
