    Spirit Project is the main bug after update. Shadow spark and Shadow Stick can deal damage to mobs but kill. However, if u buff Spirit Projection and then use Shadow Spark and Shadow Stick, they lead to d/ced. Dominion causes d/ced. Shadow Bat is fixed

    I'm legitimately getting really fed up with this nonsense. Now Night Walkers are virtually unplayable until next week, since Nexon won't bother to fix this abomination.

    So basically Spirit Projection is causing these issues?

    No, without Spirit Projection on, Shadow Spark and Shadow Stitch don't do any damage at all and Shadow Stitch doesn't bind. So there are at least 3 bugs, 2 of them related.

    Dominion is just it's own bug all together. Use Dominion, and you disconnect.

    Quite frustrating to see skills I used hours ago just fine, suddenly disconnecting me a few hours later. Is someone actively updating the game while it's live, or is someone at Nexon trying to mess with Night Walkers specifically? I've done 3 runs of Chaos Horntail (second ended as the day changed), Dominion and various other skills were fine. I finished my first stone and waiting the required 8 hours now, about 2 hours left I figure check what's going on in-game. Suddenly crash when using Shadow Spark or Dominion, even non-buffed aside from our free revive.

    I would like to be enjoying 5th job but at this rate, Nexon is clearly stating with these problems we shouldn't exist in this game. I can see if something was broken right off when you login, but literally hours later and no real reason for why it's crashing?! You're basically limiting our ability to fight already, or use any sort of map attacks. I also had a random runtime error, using dark omen on a large group of mobs. It's increased for more mobs hit, for the times you do get multiple platforms covered in one attack.

    Starting to question if it's been a good idea, to even return at this rate given the lack of respect certain classes get. You promptly fix various bugs for some classes, while others are simply forgotten about and swept under the rug. Shadow Bat was fixed but even then, I really wonder if something else was triggered because of how it works. Since they seem to break more than they fix, it's starting to seem like they'd rather us quit playing.

    I'm experiencing the same problem also. Very frustrating after returning to the game from a few months of a break. I DCed doing Pink Bean due to the shadow spark dc problem. After reading this thread I tested it on the penguins at Snowy Hill (one map left of el nath) and found the same thing. Without spirit projection I'd see damage numbers but nothing died. With spirit projection I dc. It seemed to dc me more when hitting more than one mob.

    My Nightwalker is also suffering from these bugs. It seemed that there has been too many bugs associated with the Nightwalkers since the very beginning of the V patch. (Correct me if I'm wrong).

    I don't understand how nexon is able to fix 1 bug (shadow bats) and instantly make new bugs.

    Getting really fed up with having a bugged char all the time. Fix your bugs!!!!

    I've been having to rely on Quintuple Throw and Shadow Bats for mobbing, since those are literally the only things that don't cause disconnections. To be honest, I don't know why everyone is surprised this even happened, lol.

    Impossible...really impossible... at this point i think they don't even try the classes before put the game online after the patch! Otherwise there's no an explanation! After the bat bug now we have 4 more skill bug! Try to hire someone who knows how to update the game propelly please!

    Ps: GG again nexon! And thank you to don't let us play, i'm really experiencing the real life -.-

    Let's hope it goes through. I'm okay with Shadow Bats being my main mobbing skill with Quin throw. But, i'd rather have Shadow Spark there as an option when I need it too. -_-

    I actually don't really know why they needed a video of me disconnecting, when they told me they were able to successfully reproduce the bug on their end.
