I honestly have no idea what Poll number we’re on, since the last poll we did was Poll #25, and the Poll before that was Poll #21. Just checked and this was Poll #26, Rest in peace 22~24, I have no idea what happened to you.
Anyway!
Here is the result of the last poll that we put up:
“Are you excited for the new character?
* Yes (80%, 1,691 Votes)
* I wanted something else -.- (14%, 295 Votes)
* No (6%, 115 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,101″
Dio looks like he has some positive results overall, which is a good sign for any content KOG is pushing out. Personally I don’t know how I feel about Dio’s release, which is why I didn’t vote. It brings a lot of strategy and synergy to the game, and picking your 5 skills to perfect fit with each other seems like a really cool style. My main problem, however, is how behind all the other characters are in comparison to him, since they’ll continue to strictly use z, and can’t use a 1 bar immediately during combos without a lot of prior knowledge of how to do so. Strictly put, this means Dio can literally use a 3 bar with no problem during his combo 
Ok that’s enough blabbering, I’ll go ahead and put up the next poll, which is…
“What do you think of the new ASDFG System?”
There’s a lot more to the System that I cannot fit into actual poll answers so if you wish to go more in-depth on the subject please feel free to leave a post here explaining your views.
Thank you everyone for reading and I hope you’re all having a great weekend,

Hmm… i think it’s pretty cool….make some changes in the game is always welcome
…-cough-except if the mess up with Lire and Amy >:( -cough-
No one was waiting they add this “elsword skill system”…KOG is sure full of surprises.*-*
I… dont like it.
Grand chase has always been unique.. And one of the most enjoyable things about it, to me, was how simple it was.
I started NAGC back in open beta, when all they had was the three girls, not even a cash shop..
It was so simple. Run, attack with z, charge skills, unleash them.
Then the characters started to get more complicated, what with jin having a bar to charge, and sieg having one as well… and lets not get started on how complicated mari is..
Then skill tree’s came and turned the simple characters into complex things with 20 million different key combos..
Now this….
I actually quit grand chase due to… i dont know.. change? It’s just not the same game i fell in love with 2 years ago. I mean i know games are supposed to update and change.. that’s all cool. But just.. This is like a totally different game now.. :/
tl;dr, i dont like it…
Yes you have a point…but sometimes a game like this needs to rival up with the latest games, so adding more variety means more fun!!!
Change happens, whether you like it or not. It’s up to you how to interpret it.
In my opinion, you’re interpreting it all wrong. If you want to stick to smashing Z, then play with those type of characters and don’t touch the more complex ones. Don’t make it more complicated than it should be.
On the other hand, if the game stuck solely to just Z you can’t get anywhere. Just look at the first job changes adding to the strategic difference. Xbow has the aerial down Z arrow rain. Spearman has the mash Z which basically puts up a wall of hit boxes to any oncomers and if the nemy gets caught you can charge mp while throwing jabs. Alchemist added quite a bit too with indirect, timed attacks. Ronan gave you >><Z. If you just limit it to a combo, jump attakcs and 3 bars of mp skills. the game gets stale.
That;s why they add all kinds of new things with each job. It adds to the strategic value, and yet the first simpler jobs can be used just right to beat the newer versatile ones.
I will never understand how having less variety is better…
I’m just surprised how many positive ratings that post got.
Unless this guy’s sock-puppeting.
I’m also suprised how many positive ratings it got.. o.o
I expected to get flamed massively for that.. cause you know.. posting your oppinion on the internet is like… wrong.
On a side note.. my period key just fell off my laptop… ugh…
I thumbed it up, even though I disagree. Personally I like the changes, but I do think you have a point
I say we down thumb him until it turns yellow, to show everyone what happens to this sockpuppetier.
Lol i dont know what sockpuppet means… my only assumption from teh context used is that your suggesting i made various accounts and clicked like on it repeatedly?
Yeah, because i have that much free time (or patience)….
Regardless, think what you like. o.o
Nah, don’t worry about it. It just shows how many people go to this blog, moreso the people actually taking the time to read comments.
And judging by the poll, it seems people are not in agreement on this matter, so it’s not surprising your post got many positive ratings.

Stick to the characters that don’t have the complexity. Don’t quit because of other characters. ._.

One character is going to make you do that? Are you serious?
You can activate skills with a push of the button now?
Just Dio’s AP-skills, not the normal MP-skills o.o
Right,
by pressing A S D F or G, you’ll use the skill automatically.
This is Dio only, and even applies to skills that take 2.5 bars of AP. (Pretty much a 3 bar)
is this only on dio or or other future character ?or KGC going to change everyone into like that
Prolly anyone with a AP Bar. Which only Dio has of now.
I don’t like it
its so far from the game concept of Grandchase. Its like removing concept of getting MP countered.
Think of it this way:
When you fight a Dio, you can combo hi–
Wait, you can still charge his AP bar with Z, right?
…He just might be able to counter. :O
Yeah, he can still charge his AP bar by holding Z.
But I think I know what Leviant is getting at, with other characters they have to run away for a little to charge up to 3 bars and there’s also a chance they’ll get hit; accidently losing all 3 bars, but with Dio, he doesn’t need to worry about accidently losing AP.
If it’s slightly the same as Elsword’s gameplay (which it kinda sounds like) I don’t think that’s entirely true… I’ve been countered LOTS of times while playing Elsword, even though I just have to press 1 button to launch a 3-bar skill. It’s like those annoying lag-grabs.. except they’re not grabs, they’re normal attacks that just cancel out my skill :/
I would disagree to those negative this about GC being complex, I think it’s a good thing that we have new features and new contents such as Dio’s gameplay. I love gc because of it;s updates on jobs and characters and all, i quit playing other online games because of the “click to attack” which is really lame .but yes, I do agree about GC being unique with the zzzzz gameplay, but I believe we should be open to new things,back then I also thought that complex game play is a troublesome but now, im loving them and I really think it will test your “skills” on wielding them. That’s also the reason why I am excited about ST on PH^^ [the gms said we'll have it after sieghart xD]

100% they forgot? They have lives you know.
I know…. no ones complaining…. just curious
You’re labelling them with a baseless assumption that you think is fact and you also said you’re frustrated.
So curiosity isn’t all that’s going on here…
… no all Im saying is cow posted something bout a video that was sure to be posted ( again from what cow said) and its kinda getting annoying kenzor when u twist the meaning if my words.
Dio, you said you were eager, excited and frustrated. You also said you were 100% sure they forgot. High expectations much?
Kenzor’s favor on this one: you did have a baseless assumption that they for sure forgot about a Dio video. And yes, that Dio video is sure to be posted. Because Dio is a new character, with new features, and a new style. Why would they miss that in the first place, unless the site crashed or something tragic happened?
And when did Kenzor twist your words? :S
Wouldn’t it be like frustrating to have a very rig character to battle with in PVP.
I didn’t really like the concept they put into DIo which is I think may put the other characters aside. -_-
You gotta remember that there’s still that ?’s in the 5th slot of ST’s. Maybe when all’s said and done, 5th jobs will be more up to date with GC’s new and expanding standards, so don’t give up on the other earlier characters just yet (even though the wait of that goal will be indeed long…)
Well we don’t really know if the 5th jobs would be able to extend to the current standards of the game. So much variety has been added to only one character, while the other jobs of the previous characters has already been implemented limited only to z skill bars, Dio on the contrary already has advantages at his first job what more to his next jobs in the future.
I haven’t been too excited about Dio much, either. I don’t know the reason why, but he seems more fan-based than any other character made thus far. Maybe it’s the trend of “Oh, I’m a demon and I don’t like Humans” sorta thing that’s going on with Mr. Unsmiley over here. Plus, the empowered arm he has isn’t too creative either, but oh well.
His new AP system thing I’m not too worried about, unless you plan to PvP a lot. Of course, Dios are gonna be everywhere, already ready for his next 3 jobs to come out because he starts at level 30 (but what do you expect? He’s hangin’ out at Archimedia for some reason anyways, I think)
I do speculate, however, that since he came out with his (very small) ST, then that means his 2nd will be also. I’m guessing that the 2nd job STs are gonna be coming out soon, just so the other characters can keep up with Dio. Good times, KOG. Good times. Still, I’m waiting for Jin’s, ever so patienly…
Dio starts at level 30? I’d like to believe that’s a lie.
-Shot- Oh well. ~.~
Other than that, I agree with you.
Yep. Kowiz confirmed that he starts at level 30 when he unlocked him, in this thread:
http://ggftw.com/forum/grand-chase-general-chat/78063-kgc-06-24-2010-patch-teasers-4.html
i dont like it
i dont want other character to disappear. and some unskilled cash player will use dio to run wild
now everyone can be pro
and how other should fight him
OK, so we can say that some OLD characters[yes, elisis is getting really old =,=] would be left out if they dont update them so, I would agree that the upcoming 2nd job ST would be something like Dio’s gameplay, that would pretty much balance the whole thing. But Mari and Jin’s ST would be the same with the first set of ST [not the dio type]…
i really think that GC should just stick to the unique of holding Z to use skill not press ASDFG to use skill cause to us, Elsword players we dont like it because it is kinda rip off dont u guys think so?
It isn’t a rip off if it came from the same developers…but rather it’s a recycled idea and as I’m also an Elsword player, I don’t like the idea of more recycled ideas from Elsword either.
I agree, they are recycling the wrong ideas.
Totally agree to this as a Elsword player. I like playing GC because of the z system but now it’ll be similar to Elsword which kind of defeats my purpose of playing GC.
IMO… It’s OK. It adds variety, but it kind of makes Dio OP. But then again, he has no way to fight efficiently but A S D F G, which is why it’s completely ‘OP’ when it comes to using it, since you can ONLY counter if you want to, and possibly no way else to reduce AP gain.
I don’t mind Dio, but I can already see the ‘3bar at start of match’ happening. OP and annouying, but it’s a different way of fighting nonetheless.
Though I honestly don’t support the whole leeching off Elsword for new ideas. Regardless of it being their game or not, they should keep GC, GC, and Elsword, as Elsword.
Whoever said he’d start out with his AP fully charged?
Did I ever say that?
I said he can ‘3bar’, not recharge AP in the first second.
Please watch Kowiz’s PvP to see what I mean.
Direct quote right here: ‘3bar at start of match’
And I have watched Kowiz’s PvP.
Really, it wouldn’t be any different from a sudden 3rd bar from an opponent while you’re chasing him/her. Sides, if Dio willingly counters out of a combo, he can’t use his skills for 10 seconds, whiich gives the other characters a small window of opportunity to combo Dio and let him counter his AP away to where he can’t counter anymore. Unless that Dio has an annoying pet, of course…
I bet what you’d be annoyed at is that he can combo right into a 3rd bar-esque skill. Is that what you meant? I think Spearman can do something similar to that when someone’s caught up in a flurry of stabs.
I’m not annoyed at anything, I’ve yet to know how this character works. I’d give real opinions once I try him out.
Anyway, I see your point. I doubt he’d be OP, but I can see ways on how to exploit his abilities. Still, I’ve yet to know.
Although there’s nothing wrong with changes in the game, I just didn’t like the idea of KOG recycling ides from Elsword just as Kenzor says.
Dio’s ASDFG skills are cool and all but just the thought of instantly whpping out a 3mp skill without holding the z button gives him a very big edge compared to the other characters.
I wonder how they’ll balance the game this time around…
Not trying to be rude, but if you guys dont like it you dont have to play him.
Actually im pretty sure he’s gonna be the biggest noob magnet ever saw on GC so im planning on the 1st day of release tht there will be Dio’s everywhere of course and just for tht matter i wont get him or if i do.. il go with the GP mish which is always more rewarding [ mentally ] than all of those cash mish ¬_¬… and for those pvp advantages or not.. well its obvious that there will be alot of those Run / Skill people and tht it will unbalance the game because of the non-charging system which means he cant be countered but only if he wants to…. But im not a hater to be honest i found the character design cool pretty much… but for other characters there will clearly be a new lvl to climb because you’l need to be extra carefull when fighting those guys :/… Anyway for me.. im just planning to go and kick their ass
[ NAGC - Jin player ]
Great, Dio decides to make my controller set up even worse! (I’ll manage though. owo)
Anyway, regardless, the ASDFG skill setup is a very innovative way of utilising a new character. Every character that KoG have created have some sort of unique-ness to them, even the original three. With regards to PvP and the ASDFG, it’s the player’s fault if they happened to get countered while charging a skill. Most people use it strategically, and no doubts Dio players are able to as well.
The non-delay skills that Dio can use are just like any extra skill another character can use, take for example Polaris’ delayed bolt or her diagonal bolt requires MP. The ASDFG skills add a combo factor to Dio’s gamestyle, and even though they use AP up and cannot be countered, other skills similar these skills can’t be either.
For the delay skills and PvP, there’s always lag-grabs or ’strategic dodging’ (or plain ol’ running), which shouldn’t be a problem. Bear in mind, it seems considerably harder for Dio to gain AP during PvP which balances it out. (If it’s like Elsword, you can still be countered during skills if you time it correctly.)
Finally, it’s actually nice to see some aspects of Elsword in Grand Chase, as they are ‘improvements’ which KoG have seen fit to add onto GC. I would not mind if GC became a bit more like Elsword, but still kept it’s originality (no grabs in PvP? <3). Also, food for thought. Elsword was exactly like GC in it's skill style before they added the dungeon improvements. KoG have the right to improve the game as they see fit, and I'd welcome any improvements that they are willing to patch in for us.
(Long post, tl;dr: ASDFG is cool but also balanced.)
Back when Elsword was still very similar to GC, it actually made me and friends (and possibly others) stop playing GC for Elsword because Elsword was basically GC minus everything that was bad and adding in much better things. That isn’t good from a business perspective or from the perspective of the players.
Now that Elsword has branched away from GC, for me (possibly others too), I can happily play both games as they feel like different games now. That is much better for both KoG and me.
Now if GC starts to become Elsword…. chances are one of the games will be played less since the games will be too similar.
summing up what I said, too much recycled ideas from different games is bad.
Well, you have to remember, Kenzor, that for now it’s ONLY one character (Dio) that has this similarity to Elsword. Just like how they only have one character that can transform (Ryan).
Who knows what the other 2 characters KOG will come out with next. My only hope is that one of those two is Egyptian-themed, for Alcubra(Atum)
let me tell you something even though esllswor and grandchase are created by the same company + the new item system was from elsword idea
Everyone here is complaining about the mp counter unbalance it will do.
lrn2combo.dont be dependant of 2nd/3rd bars. I know people are gonna complain how his combo can be deadly, but now every combo is -1 life if applied correctly, i dont see any unbalance here.
Still i wanna know how’s Jin ST….
when 12th character come out with AP also. i dont know what to do then
Ether play it or pass it off…
http://grandchase.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1219&sid=bd817e445e6907f84d11adb3ee9c62f8, for some news on Kaze’aze (maybe)~
Does certainly look like Lass being possessed by Kaze’Aze. It’s probably a sign (one I thought would happen) that Ellia will be updated, just like Bermesiah has. Improved graphics for Kaze’Aze? Yes please~
They need to improve how Dark Anmon looks too.
Hey !! naver blog just update alot of cool stuff
theres one on lire look-a-like ?
and now the newest is lass look-a-like ?
Any can translate it ?
http://blog.naver.com/gcblog/120111076466
it’s possibly a revamp of kazeaze lass
Not just Kaze’aze Lass, but Kaze’aze herself, too. That shadow looks like a revamp of the Queen of Darkness. I’m looking forward to the Ellia revamp. Maybe they’ll replace/revamp all those Anmon scouts and guards wandering around as well…
HEY I FOUND A DUNGEON VIDEO of dio guys
here the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRSeNDGGI7k
CONFIRMED: From this video, it shows that Dio has a 10 second cooldown on all of his skills if he intentionally counters.
XD
Or 7, if the player is smart enough to get the passive skills.
So the passive skills that Dio can get can reduce the delay time of being countered? Wow.
This quite intesting since grand chase is turning more like elsword i wonder if the skill tree goona change too i wonder what if the 3 characters is goona be a surpise that are not out yet
