7/19 Update

~Summary by Suguri~

[quote=Suguri]Resha/Eris/Haruka got destroyed by this. Resha/Eris are 1500 cost tuned (before capa tunes) and have all their capabilities heavily nerfed...except for Meluc (can't be Hyper Shot buffed anymore but it didn't lose anything otherwise) and Lexratio (didn't technically need a nerf). At any rate their capabilities aren't worth their cost at this point, which is fantastic.

Akane got slightly buffed but I think some of Haruka's nerfs apply to her too. She's better than Haruka now without actually really improving noticeably, if that says anything.

Ivis X's cost is more appropriate but her performance is hardly impacted.

Monica players probably won't even notice they got nerfed if they have h.shooters.

Seraph FC has less range on Nova, and the persistent AoE doesn't carry listed force (meaning instead of getting wrecked for 200 when getting trapped in the AoE, you only get the initial listed hit followed by 5s, for example).

Sylvia is still good but lost a lot of her bullshit defense. Which is good. She's still good.

Haven't heard any feedback about Persenachia yet.

Flapjack arms got wrecked as badly as Haruka.

LL Bulk Gat got nerfed too, which isn't entirely surprising.

All in all, very solid update, and the contents of the new gara appear mostly balanced. A leap in the right direction for CS.[/quote]

*All credit goes to Suguri for the awesome summary*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are aware that many users were suddenly disconnected from the game around 22:40 Server Time, 7/23. We do not yet know what caused this disconnection, but are currently in the process of investigating the cause. Thank you all for your understanding.

------------------------------------------------------------

Hello from the CosmicBreak Service Team!

This week's maintenance is complete! See below for details.

------------------------------------------------------------

Flute Gara

The brand new Flute Gara has been added to the game! Flute Gara features two new characters: Rone and Orin's fellow musician Fluene Affetto, and Mialy's junior and admirer Illumis.

We'll be sending out CosmicBreak Collectible Cards featuring Fluene Affetto to the first 100 people who roll her from the Flute Gara!

Now that Rone, Orin, and Fluene have all arrived at the Cosmic Ark, they can perform together. Rone Amabile AM2 and Orin Fortissimo AM2 have gained the ability HARMONIZE; when they use this ability in conjunction with Fluene Affetto AM2's HARMONIZE, the three will play a song, granting Extend Support, Extend Support ALPHA, Extend Support BETA, and the new Revive Sound effect. Revive Sound is a special status effect that may only be granted once, and allows the affected unit to automatically recover 150 HP one time just as its HP hits 0.

Flute Gara also contains new versions of Mialy and Shino, as well as a number of other exciting new robots, parts, and weapons. Flute Gara will only be available until 8/23, so make sure to check it out now!

------------------------------------------------------------

Triple Mega Garas?!

Not one, not two, but three new Mega class Garapons are now available! The Mega SUGOI Gara and Mega EVE Gara each contain a wide selection of rare humanoid characters, and the Mega ROBO Gara contains a hand picked lineup of CosmicBreak's most popular robots.

Many of the rare characters in these Mega Garas have been unavailable in their original forms quite some time, making this the perfect opportunity for new players to roll them! It's also a great chance for you older players to roll for any robots you missed. The three Mega Garas will only be available until 8/23, so act fast!

------------------------------------------------------------

Elisa-chan in the Shop

A new chibi, Elisa-chan, has been added to the Shop for 80 Rt! Elisa-chan is the second chibi in the Mini Chibi Collection Campaign; players who collect all three of the campaign chibis will be sent the following fabulous prizes once the campaign is over:

-

---

Element Cosmos
- [HB] Element Cosmos
- Cosmo Harmonics OMEGA
- Beam Propeller BS
- Chibi Ion-chan (School Swimsuit Ver.)

Elisa-chan will only be available until 8/2, so make sure to get her quick if you're interested in the campaign prizes!

------------------------------------------------------------

Summer Shop Super Sale

ALL Rt Shop content, including Robots (except for Elisa-chan), Items, Parts, and Weapons, has been marked down 20%! This sale will only be in effect until 8/23, so now's the time to buy that weapon you've always been curious about, or stock up on Tune Up supplies. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------

Rt Charge Bonus Campaign Updated

The Rt Charge Bonus Campaign has been updated with new parts! We've updated all parts this time, including the Toy Bear and Toy Panda parts that haven't changed for quite some time. Check it out!

------------------------------------------------------------

Weekly Garapon

This week's Weekly Garapon features robots and weapons last seen earlier this year. Roll for anything you missed!

------------------------------------------------------------

Week Long Multipliers!

In celebration of the big update this week, we've turned on 1.5x multipliers for UC, Exp, and Drop Rate! The multipliers will begin from 3:00 4:00 Server Time (Sorry, due to a slight error on our part the multipliers won't kick in until 4:00 Server Time, 7/19.) and remain on until 7/26 maintenance. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------

Bazaar

We will be holding a Bazaar Event this Saturday (7/21) from 0:00 Server Time to 24:00 Server Time. Trade away stuff you don't need and pick up anything you do!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the addition of Bazaar to the game, we have been receiving an increased number of reports regarding accounts being stolen and/or cleared out due to password sharing. REMEMBER, NEVER TELL ANYONE YOUR PASSWORD!!! If you lose items/robots from your account because you told somebody else your password, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to help you, especially if the incident involves said items being traded away via the Bazaar. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

*Additional Note: The following parts are now Bazaar tradable:
- Fanime Scarf
- AX Scarf
- Tycoon Butak BS

Happy trading!

------------------------------------------------------------

Other

- Quests have been shuffled.

- The Sword Gara, Robo Gara, Robo Gara 2, and Daily Gara have ended as announced.

- Mighty Girl-chan has been removed from the Shop as announced.

- Cosmic Commander Chaos Rooms have ended as announced. *Snort*

- Akane Vermell
- Monica Gold
- Ivis (HD Edition)
- Seraph Crimrose (HD Edition)

The time period for freely revoking these Tune Ups is from 7/19 weekly maintenance until 8/30 weekly maintenance. Tune Ups may be revoked at the Cosmos Pot Reset.

- Bug in which equipping certain AM parts such as Adone AM2 to the Beam Missile AMJ would crash the clients of all players in the area has been fixed.

Fixed as of 7/23 unscheduled maintenance:

>even fagjack gets nerfed
wow, that's a good move

CS appears to be living up to somewhat vague expectations.
They're doing things moderately correct for once.
Under new management, maybe.

IT'S SEVEN NINETEEN

I can see BITkorby scrub Reshas running out of Vox Ammo w/o landing a single hit with it *o*

I also like the idea of Monica having less range...wait what about speed? Will she have the same speed...? ö.ö""""

Resha/Eris/Haruka got destroyed by this. Resha/Eris are 1500 cost tuned (before capa tunes) and have all their capabilities heavily nerfed...except for Meluc (can't be Hyper Shot buffed anymore but it didn't lose anything otherwise) and Lexratio (didn't technically need a nerf).

@Suguri: Thanks for the summary!

im happy just with hearing that ;-;

Suguri did a nice summary there, but one thing bugs me.

Quote :

Only Haruka's main weappon got balanced, while Akane didn't, since her damage output was divided by two simultaneous hits instead of one hig stunning hit, hence why her weapon wasn't affected.

If all, Haruka was brought to the same level as Akane. Which was intended for the balance, i believe.


On the other hand, at least i can play my Resha without cries of OP-ness. Now i need to refund a few of her tunes for a new rework.

Still an autoplay scrub bot and can wreck some havoc with eyes closed.

Apparently Vox has 20 ammo and Darkness Hide gets 10 ammo, still seems like too much to me, but I guess this could be the first step to a successful playing experience <_>

Nopenopenope. Akane still got the "outrageous cooldown on lightning buster" nerf and lost her free 100 noscope overrange.

Judging by JP commu both wing moes are worse than traditional alpha airs at this point.

You can stun Eris out of Darkness Hide, and it has longer cooldown.

Vox chargeup was increased drastically, debuff duration was reduced to nearly nothing, and the AoE ends quickly now too. Odds are one badly-timed Vox is all it takes for anything to have a free kill on Resha now, and she'll die for 1505 cost if she's tuned. And even if you do get hit it you don't get juggled for one billion years anymore.

Ugh..shouldn't the maintenace be done by now? I wanna play my "basically not nerfed" Monica D=
