** The level "Relics of Kounat" gives you quests to defeat both bosses. The problem is unlike Battle for Bermesiah's Mini bosses and Xenia Border's Bosses which have similar quests, the boss you fight is random and there's no way to accurately guess which one you're going to get, meaning you can be on it much longer than you need to because you keep being matched against the wrong guy. Not helped by the rather strict time limit if you're not overpowered for the level.

Added DiffLines:

* ScrappyMechanic: Quests that require you to use specific skills. AP and Hybrid characters will always be able to just dedicate a skill slot for it for the level at worst, but MP character quests always require you to use your first class weapon. If it's not a good class compared to what you have unlocked, you're not used to their first class, or you just plain don't like playing it, you're going to have a bad time. Later quests also require very specific skills unlocked, potentially wasting your precious SP.

Pretty much all of the players state that they had great memories playing the game and are sad to see it go.

*** Post 2nd job, her new "dark" level 3 skill, Screaming Gust, is '' '''[[UpToEleven even more so.]]''' '' Not only it deals ''ludicrous'' amounts of damage, almost on par with her 4th skill, it even receives a buff in the 3rd job, allowing Rin to become invincible and cause damage after the skill, in a manner similar to Sieghart's [[ImplacableMan Mocking Blade]]!

powerful. Dio is the first character that the Korean Version dedicated a whole patch to nerfing, and it was BY FAR the biggest single nerf ever done in the 8-year history of the Korean version of the game. The size of the nerf was to the degree that it was possibly larger than every single other nerf the Korean Version has ever done put together. Using a certain tandem of moves in quick sequence will remove the "skill freeze" from the first move cast.
** Arme Glenstid is the only character who has a Cash Skill banned in tournaments (Athena's Sword).
** Though not to the degree that Gladiator Sieghart has, Ryan's Druid Skill Tree greatly improved his maneuverability '''and''' utility.
** Ronan Erudon:
*** Doubling as GoodBadBug, his (level 1) Blast Bomb skill refills his MP. Against large opponents, this allows him to cast this infinitely, in theory. Samsara is a particularly good example of this.
*** Aegis Knight's level 4 MP special -- he summons the Tempest Guardian, and gains a x2 damage multiplier while it is active.
** Amy Plie:
*** Sistina's Action Mode level 1 special move (Jack Knife) is taking to the air on a bicycle and crashing back down. This is perhaps one of the most damaging and spammable moves in PVP.
*** Metal Idol / Lasting Lyrics in team battles, to the point where in team games, the resident tank Elesis is frequently shoved aside for Amy because of this buff. [[DemotedToExtra Isn't it sad, Elesis?]]
** Ercnard Sieghart is rather good as a Gladiator, especially with his grabs. Then his Skill Tree came out, which gave him even '''more''' speed, even '''stronger''' skills, a passive buff to his defense (making him take about 30% less damage than any other character), the ability to heal, block hits like Aegis Knight (avoiding damage altogether), and very high priority on his aerial attacks. Add all those up and you'll see more than half of PVP stuffed with Gladiators. The Imperium Skill update also gave him a four-level MP special that decimates mooks with frightening ease.
** Although not to the degree Dio was, Ley received a rather substantial nerf shortly after her release. Her combo speed was lowered [Teleporting + a combo which was literally impassable for Melee characters at the speed it was fired] and a nerf to the cooldown of 'Secret Passage', an [=AoE=], instant-cast skill which had the capability to OHKO in PVP with extreme ease.

* ThatOneAttack:
** Lire Eryuell:
*** Her first bar skill key moves are know to cause fits in PvP.
*** Her non-skill key special moves are also very dangerous, as getting hit by one point-blank means '''you will get grabbed or hit with another special move in short order'''.
*** Headshot Level 2 is a ranged version of Lass' [[{{HptoOne}} Fatal Attack]], which hits twice; for the same mana cost. And if at point blank, she can follow it up with an immediate grab for an instant kill if successful. This skill was so potent it was initially removed in NAGC.
** Everyone and Ryan Woodguard's dog who buys a cash skill key for Ryan will always, always, '''always''' get Poison Spore.
