Chapter 117: Visit Around Other Verse (6.7)

POV Elise

I was looking at the Game Balance Change at the New World Online web site.

Game Balance Changes

Skill Revisions: Skill [Devour] has been revised as follows: Implemented a usage limit. Can be used a maximum of 10 times per day.

Skill Revisions: Skill [Crystal Element] has been revised as follows: Create a big Crystal from the sky which shoot random element super fast at random direction and consume 100,000 MP.

Skill Revisions: Skill [Dawn] has been revised as follows: Releases intense flames to knock nearby opponents back, dealing Fire DMG. The flames then converge into the weapon, summoning a Phoenix that flies forward and deals massive Fire DMG to all opponents in its path. The Phoenix explodes upon reaching its destination, causing a large amount of AoE Fire DMG. The searing flames that run down his blade cause it to be infused with Fire and consume 250,000 MP.

Other Change

Change some explanation texts and categories of the main menu's tutorial.

Added feature to adjust camera rotation speed.
