Link Skills

Isn't it kind of tedious to go on to every single link skill character/mule and transfer it? I believe the character with the link skills on it should be able to transfer them all to another character.

BTW it's so tedious

@Lecarde: First of all what's with your hostile attitude? Secondly, I honestly do not understand why you are so against such things. If they change this or not it will not affect you since you don't play other characters. Stop being a jerk getting mad over something like this. You really have no reason to get upset over such issue since it's not even a big issue at all. Training is much easier with link skills.I never said it was impossible. It was harder in the sense it was boring. It could be done with out yes, but why the hell would I want to spend double time to train when I can use link skills to kill faster. Again either way this issue shouldn't bother you, and if you don't like people "whining" about this topic. Why did you even click on it? Obviously your main reason to come to this thread is to start an unnecessary argument. Most people do not like the way link skills are managed right now. You're probably the only one that has the opposite feeling about it. Which is fine but to get all angry over such thing? Even yourself call it a petty task. So why the hell would it bother you if they changed it to something more convient? You think that if they fix this there going stop updating all the other crap? This thing probably won't take much time to fix since they already showed they can do something like this. With the character cards.

@Lecarde: Well, seems like this had turned into quite a long debate.... I can't be bothered to read about your puny argument with @Omniscient1 but I'll just say this.

If people do not complain, that means everyone is satisfied with it.

If people are satisfied with it, that mean it'll never be improved.

And I do agree switching link skill is a tedious job.

I have all my link skill on my main and I never switch them but when there is another link skill which I wanted on my main, I had to log out and log in again on 2-3 different characters just to switch a few link skill.

Time is gold, and it would be REALLY convenient to be able to switch all my link skill on my MAIN character without needing to LOG OUT.

@Omniscient1: There is no right and wrong way to train. If you can't kill zakum get a guildie to help you. Same with dipq. Yes, make a good pic and password. But you only enter your password once, when you launch the game. And even an alphanumeric pic that is 10 characters long only takes a few seconds to type in. It really isn't nearly as much a struggle as you would like me to believe it is. Link skills never "need" to be transferred over. Millions of characters were leveled just fine before link skills, and they will continue to be leveled just fine without link skills. I remain adamant that it is your personal choice to go through the apparently arduous task (though really it isn't) of switching link skills to every new mule to train them to 120. You aren't being punished by Nexon, stop whining about it.

And seriously? You find it hard to level up without link skills? You sound extremely spoiled. Without link skills its still a joke to level.

@Lecarde: If you want a secure account you better make a good pic and password. Why should we risk our accounts being hacked just to switch things around? You are saying we are whining over little things. I am saying you're making too much of a big issue about people "whining" over link skills. This thing needs to change and some times link skills need to be xfered over to your mules to train them. Example, today I was training shade with out link skills. It was way too slow to level up, I couldn't beat zak that fast, and I had a very hard time beating dipq. It was just too annoying. i switch over some link skills and everything went more smoothly. I was able to kill zak at a decent pace and level up pretty fast. Netting me a good 15 levels or so. Where as I wouldn't have got that many levels or bother to even train it since it was just too hard to level up unfunded. I only had a few tradable equips on me. Yes, it's our choice. it's also our choice not to make any more characters too, but why should we be punished to not make characters or train right? This is a simple thing to fix and I don't see why anyone would disagree.

@Omniscient1: I play characters that aren't my main. But I don't switch my link skills over. There is no point. And Nexon didn't force you to make a long PIC. It would take me around 10 min to log into 12 differet characters and switch the link skills over. That's it. It really isn't a complicated thing. No one is forcing you to do it in the first place

[quote=Lecarde]@Omniscient1: I never claimed to like it. But I can't stand when people complain about free stuff. Link skills are free buffs. All you have to do is put in a few hours of training to get them. Is it annoying to switch them? I wouldn't really know, I stick with my main. All of my link skill stay on him. But they are still free buffs. It isn't something to complain over. Especially with so much else that is actually wrong with the game. I would much rather Nexon work on balancing it, reintroducing class "roles" or something before they work on something as trivial as switching link skills[/quote]

You don't play other characters that's why it doesn't bother you. Sure it's free buffs but trust me it's really annoying to spend a good 30min switching back and forth. Especially if you're just working on mule accts. You try it for one week long every day switching skills back and forth and tell me if you sing the same tune. I bet you won't and since you don't do that you don't know this. That is why it doesn't bother you and you think we are just whining to whine. This is a stupid process that needs to be fixed, and it shouldn't waste too much of there time to fix. They made the card sets account wide. So why can't they do this with link skills? Lecarde still though this is something very simple that can be fixed right away I am sure of it. I don't see why they can't change it and I don't see why you're making a huge deal out of this. You try this for once and see if it's fun.

You don't have to put your link skills on your mules to train them. That is a personal choice, and if it makes your life miserable then sorry. But Nexon did not force that on you.

Why does it bother you that we hate the way link skills are set up? I honestly thought that everyone would hate this. Seems weird why you would like to have this set up where you have to constantly switch chars all the time. it's a real deterrent to make new chars since you already have to wait 24 hours to switch again. Why the hassle to keeping logging in and out. If people use gamelauncher it's even longer and that's one main reason I don't use gamelauncher. Since switching in and out is much faster through the website.

Lecarde it's not about being lazy to switch. it's about spending too much time to do something that should only take you a few mins at most. if you have a long pic or pw then it's going take you a good 2-3min per character. Times that by 12 since you can only use 12 at most. That's a good 24-36 min changing skills. Then if you're just working on link mules you spending another 24-36 mins switching them back to your main. This is something that shouldn't be happening. I honestly don't know why you're so mad at us for complaining about this. Maybe you enjoy spending 30+min doing this but majority of us dont. That being said we have a right to complain. You don't have to read our complaints if you don't like it.

@AckarRed: I did read his message. He thinks its tedious to switch link skills. So don't switch them any more and just live without the ones you are too lazy to switch

Yes they're annoying to transfer, that's why you just stick with one character. That way you don't have to switch all your skills to you new character since you have one main.

I don't see why they don't make link skills like character cards or something. It's annoying to keep switching back and forth. When there were only a few it wasn't so bad but with 12+ links now it takes forever.

Nope, they don't have such thing.

The one we got is currently the same as in KMS.

is that new update? I haven't heard of such thing. Though I haven't been keeping up much with the updates lately. If that's true that's awesome since xfering link skills is one reason why I don't really like making new chars.
