Luminous Dominate Rankings

As of now, the top 3 in Ranking are lnmatesearch, Zerobydivide, and Arizes. That's top 3 out of 5 are luminous, and 6 out of the top 10 in ranking are luminous. No other job in the top 10 have more than 1 representation. Pretty soon, the entire ranking board will be filled with luminous. I think GMS Nexon made luminous a bit too strong in terms of mobbing and killing, since the KMS version of luminous is a lot different and reflection spamming is not possible. There will be no diversity in the ranking board pretty soon .

It's basically the "baby mode" character of the game. Getting to level 250 with a Luminous is pretty well playing in Pampers, it's nothing to be even remotely proud of. LOL[/quote]

You do have to give my crazy haters/stalkers credit, they really put the "try" in "trying too hard".[/quote]

Half of basil wont even know or recognize the logical fallacies you bought up.

You have no authority to make such a claim judging by your level & ignorance of end game content & training.
And if its nothing to be remotely proud of then why the hype? why the competition? and why the lack of 250s?
Either be the first to hit the ceiling or you're just another player.

On top of that he doesnt need to convince anyone. Exactly the reason why he doesnt communicate with other players to the extent that others do.

Tldr; @KrystiCakes:
Under your claims, if you actually had a life you wouldn't need to comment on the forums of a baby game to convince random, faceless strangers in a pseudo-reality virtual environment.

People don't argue with that KristiCakes troll, it's a troll from the nexon forums banned for postin bs and saying she/he can solo hard magnus with 3th job skills and basic attacks.LOL

@bowcreaters: It might be different soon don't worry, there WILL be people that are not lumis that will be mentioned in the rankings.

@ExpiredMilk: InmateSearch gathers around 500b EXP each day. To get from 200-250 alone is around 500 Trillion EXP. I'm not saying Lumis are not good at mobbing I'm saying getting to 250 on any class is an achievement alone.

it's still in KMS and it's not an exploit.

This reminds of Diablo 2 all the highest ranking characters on their ladder were their paladins.

[quote=KrystiCakes]Well, not if you abuse the party play exploit it isn't.

To put it bluntly, it's basically like they're pseudo-cheating... ~while~ on baby mode! LOL

It's all rather funny I think. I've been thinking about starting a new guild based upon "legit leveling", basically the only people who will be able to join are people who don't abuse the party play exploit. And if you get caught doing it, you get booted from the guild.[/quote]

@KrystiCakes: Yes, I am aware and I do agree thats its range is a little absurd but for me in compensates for the lack of damage and DPS luminous has so to me its fair.

[quote=Deadly1337]luminous have just too much going for them
high dps
bossing
extremely large attack range
spammable attacks
link skill
their mobbing is one if not THE best.[/quote]

Woah woah High DPS? haha

[url=http://forums.playpark.net/index.php?/topic/240793-discussionpost-red-dps-red-patch/]As seen here Luminous DPS is THE LOWEST[/url]

Their boss is not so quite. Their best move is ender in the Equilibrium stage which has a nice cooldown. But also a hyper that ignores that cooldown. But it is not that great between the cooldown stage

Yes their range for mobbing is large but it only compensates for their lack in DPS

Spammable attacks. [b]Correct if im wrong but doesnt every class have spammable attacks?[/b]

Their mobbing is one of THE best.

[quote=daveface6]So where's your 250 Luminous? Luminous or not, the EXP to get to 250 is insane.[/quote]

Whether or not he has a level 250 has nothing to do with the argument. Luminous is one of the easiest classes to level. Only level 50 and I was already training at Roids efficiently--which quickly net me to 4th job with little effort. And 4th job just gets easier, which is the entire point of this thread. Reflection is the best mobbing skill in the game.

OT: I only care about explorers in the rankings. Where da archers at. >.<

[quote=KrystiCakes]It's because Luminous have skills that allow them to sit in one spot and instantly vaporize just about everything on the entire map without even moving.

[quote=IsGamer]They're Luminous, you're also a Luminous and you're complaining. Luminous is one of the fastest training class in the game and the guy being 1st in the ranks is funded to the teeth and has average luminous maneuver.

This thread is semi-pointless if you ask me.[/quote]

The point of the thread is to say Nexon did not predict the impact that would cause making the GMS luminous better training than all the other versions. They are not attempting to fix their mistakes either. My complaining does not have anything to do with what job that I am, I am just saying that diversity will be lost in the rankings. Before, when max level was 200, we saw all different jobs reaching 200, now it's all luminous on top.

I was hoping they'd nerf them before InmateSearch reached 250, but I guess they're not doing that.
