[Urgent Bug Report] Dawn Warrior toggle off error
[Urgent Bug Report] Dawn Warrior "Equinox Cycle" Status Resetting and Randomly Disabling
I am writing to report a critical issue regarding the Dawn Warrior's mastery over Rising Sun and Falling Moon states (Equinox Cycle), which has severely degraded the class's gameplay and reliability during bossing since the V.269 update.
KMS/GMS V.268 Change: Both Rising Sun and Falling Moon were updated to be permanently enabled at all times without requiring manual key inputs or toggles. This was a highly praised, seamless quality-of-life feature.
V.269 Change: The patch note stated, "Improved so that the On/Off status of the following skills is saved upon reconnecting." However, this update has broken the automated system for Dawn Warrior, introducing severe regression bugs.
The skill status is no longer saved. Every time a player logs in or changes characters, they must manually press the toggle key to enable both stances.
Random Skill Deactivation (Crucial Failure): Even after manually enabling both stances, the skill randomly turns off by itself during gameplay (approximately every 15 minutes or during specific map transitions).
Severe Impact on Bossing: While minorly annoying during mobbing, this random deactivation is fatal during boss fights.
When the stances turn off automatically, it drastically drops the Dawn Warrior's damage output and instantly disables core mobility skills like Equinox Dash, leading to unavoidable deaths in group bossing.
Dawn Warrior players already deal with character-frozen/animation-lock behaviors while casting certain skills, which feels outdated in modern MapleStory.
Having our core stance system degraded on top of this makes the class incredibly stressful to play.
This is a highly urgent matter affecting our weekly boss clears.
previously, the Dawn Warrior did not require any toggle keys to activate, as both Rising Sun and Falling Moon remained permanently active. However, the latest update has broken this mechanic and made the gameplay experience much worse.
I suggest the following solutions to address this issue:
1) Roll back to the previous state (as it functioned in V.268).
2) Adjust the toggle status in the registry so that both Rising Sun and Falling Moon default to 'ON'. This ensures both statuses remain active whenever a change occurs, achieving the same result as Option 1.
Please take this matter seriously and implement an urgent fix, as this currently prevents me from playing my main character.
I sincerely request the team to look into this regression bug and deploy a fix before the upcoming Thursday boss reset.Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Comments
It's been almost 2 months since the issue started and I am very disappointed that no one yet looking into this critical error for Dawn Warrior job.
Even after the manual toggle keys to turn on both Rising Sun and Falling moon to satrt up with,
it randomly and often turns on the "Rising Sun" on top by itself means it turning off the Falling moon state and as a result, I am losing a lot of damage out put suddenly also it disabling dash skill instantly that lead Dawn Warrior job to die while in serious boss battles.
I don't understand how come V269 bought this function to Dawn Warrior which basically unnessary also neglecting this serious error.
I beleive that I am not the only one who resied this as ticket, I saw a lot of comments from Reddit for thwe same issue.
For how much time or longer Dawn Warrior job should wait for the correction?
We are stilll strrugling from this bullied error that no one from Nexon looking after, losing a lot of chances to hunting boss and farming for about 2 months now.
It is totally not fair!
I am expecting acceptable plan and answer from Nexon but not the "Thank you for the paitence" repetedely again!
