Topic: Metin2 US Changes Watery Cavern Again, Invalidates Vs Devil Stat

Recently as part of their addition of the water dragon to Watery Cavern, the Metin2 US server had its watery cavern (also known as the grotto of exile) updated. This included newer EXP rates that better reflect the difficulty of fighting the Mercenary enemies, and a new statistic that was strong against them: Vs Devil.

This change was welcomed favorably by players, and caused a boom in item mall usage and trading, as hardcore PVM players sought to get sets of gear with the vs Devil stat.

However, today, after what was at first a seemingly routine maintenance (Metin2 US restarts its servers every week), watery cavern was changed again. Now the mercenaries offer pitiful experience, Devil is a useless stat against them, and sword resistance is no longer any use in trying to defend oneself against generals.

As could be expected, the reaction to this change is universally negative among players. Most of the complaints are contained in these two threads: [1] / [2]. Most view this as unfair, as a number of players made significant EXP progress during the period of new EXP rates and vs devil effectiveness. Others had spent hundreds of thousands in Z8Games mall points on items, even changing stats of Vs Demi-Human items in the hopes of getting Vs Devil. Others sold Demi-Human items or spent large sums of gold on Devil items, which are now useless.

The EXP improvements and fixing of the vs Devil stat had brought a number of players back to Metin2 US, something the server needed to stem its steady loss of players for other reasons. This change has already caused some to leave again. Arguably the right thing to do at this point for Z8Games would be to revert the change before the backlash grows too strong.

they will not change back to devil and high exp rate since they don`t fk care same as before when changed first time they did not care about what player said.

This is a bug from maintenance.
According to [MOD]Haqq, he contact [GM]Bilibala and the exp rate will be back like before maintenance and Devil stat will be working again.
Making this thread before getting enough information is just childish and silly.

i must be dreaming? [MOD]Haqq a GM? I search the 2 thread and find no GM reply or is there a 3 thread for this thing? I mistaken? the post was made yesterday and it was big big issue. in sg server, GM answer big and small issue in few min. Maybe in your server GM think all the not happy player is small issue or no issue so not important to give answer? Wait, i see [GM]Lydia make thread to look for MOD. Haha your GMs are smart. they know MOD are scapegoat to be thrown before player taking all the shit since they cannot even speak proper english. i feel sorry for all the player there who dont have respect from GM. i read the thread about the level 99 helm with GM reply and LOL. They need to go take english lesson, customer service lesson and also metin2 knowledge lesson.

why sg server can fix bug in few hours or most one to two day but every time US server take week or month to fix the problem they themselves created? haha incompetent right? i think i hit the bulleyes here about your GM LOL. SG is the only decent server where GM respect player and GM work hard to service their player. Deny it but it is the true fact for go read in their forum and u see what i say.

LOL xD

The xp going back is sucky because many people would have decided it was time to package and level up... which would have meant more people on spending money.

As for the devil stat I dont really know... I have the same damage with devil or demi vs mercs but (and was unaware that sword decrease made any difference I wasn't wearing any when I farmed the leader) all I want is for them to make the server playable... sort out the DT bug caused by xtrap (massive lag on 5th and 9th floors) make the dragon killable in a party of 6-8 people.

IDC about their english, I don't play U.S Server to hear a perfect English. All I care about is my friends and pvp from while to another.
IDK where did you see "[MOD]Haqq a GM", I clearly said that according to [MOD]Haqq,GM bilibala said that they will put back the exp as it used to be before maintenance same as the vs devil.
And IDK how other servers fix it fast and I wish if our GM's would do the same but from what I know is that G4box is a publisher, it's YMIR's job to fix these things.
Any ways, let's not rush making a deal from it, if this doesn't get fixed before next maintenance, I will be one of the ppl complaining to.

The one thing that I don't get is why you are so concerned about what .US do?

they fixed again the demi devil stat. so it's back to Devil now

Why didn't they keep the rates & increase the lvl cap?

I wonder that too.
I will laugh quite loudly if they will increase the exp rates again. (even if they decide to remove the level cap)

Maybe this is good to some ppl and bad to some ppl , I can give u some examples . Wilfret bought 15 flee archer and 10 demi in helm for 400kk later they changed the devils , he leveled 99 with 15 flee for 400kk. This is good for him now but... alot of ppl i saw in forums bought devils items example my bro changed  a wgb 20devil 10abs hp 15mr 10undead for a nice poison that later sold for 965kk xD (bad to silop =S )
