These new mobs have weird names. '~'
#1 - New PvP!A bewitching race of beastmen with an upper body like that of a Hume woman and a lower body resembling that of a venomous serpent.
The Lamiae are few in number compared to the other beastmen inhabitants of the Near East. However, they have ensorceled the bones of fallen soldiers, creating an undead army of considerable size to defend their reef settlements.
Lamiae are known to sneak into towns in the depths of night, wielding powerful bows and hunting humans to replenish their armies; hence the Near Easterners' dread of sunset.
According to rumor, Lamiae are not technically a race of beastmen, but actually a form of organic weapon (also known as a chimera), created by alchemists fusing the parts of multiple organisms.
#2 - Alchemists! (New job, zomg)
I wonder if this is a joinable nation? That would be kinda hawt.Imperial Ward
The Imperial Ward lies behind a colossal white wall that separates the district from the rest of the city. The magnificent imperial palace, military facilities, and residences of the imperial family line the streets inside, but noncitizens are strictly forbidden to enter.
Is it just me? It looks like that hume pirate is wearing an earring... however that spell looks pretty badass that's around him... I'm betting it's a cutscene.
JP release date is the same?
Supposedly the 20thOriginally Posted by Soje
That was probably an approximated date, I imagine it will be same day if not JP first. It doesn't matter anyways, I'm sure the expansion will be impossible to find for the first couple of weeks anyways like COP was.Originally Posted by plake
5 days before my B-day
Also, it's pretty interesting how they mention that Aht Urgan isn't the "Far East" that was mentioned several times in CoP.
City names and other stuff sound like arabic lol.
Watch as the JP get it first, then NAs get it a week later ._.
Watch as no one gets it for 2 years as they gradually patch in content.Originally Posted by Mifaco
Or they could just mean Alchemists as in the profession(crafters).Originally Posted by Kiro
That is what always makes me skeptical of Alchemist as a job, because it's already a crafting profession anyone can already partake in. "Hay guyz I make potionz, invite plz" "I've been making potions for 3 years, they suck go level whm". I could be wrong though.
I agree with your #1 though, they said there was ahint about the next form of conquest... odds are that is it.
that's WS DetonatorOriginally Posted by Zigrah
Qutrub A type of demon, similar to a ghul.Originally Posted by Not Kuno
CHIGOE [chigoe] or jigger, small parasitic flea of tropical America and the S United States. Humans and their domestic animals are the main hosts. The fertilized female bores into the flesh (usually of the feet or legs) and feeds on the blood causing a painful, pustulous sore. She retains her eggs in her abdomen, which swells to the size of a pea. The eggs are expelled outside the host and hatch in the soil, undergoing complete metamorphosis. The chigoe is sometimes confused with the chigger . The chigoe is classified in the phylum Arthropoda , class Insecta, order Siphonaptera.
I think the new mobs look cool, I'm excited.
The fish thingy is shown on a ship so I assume we'll be getting a new ship? Again I'd say it's the one from Norg but it was said in the interview that Zilart wasn't required to play it.
Its probably from Selbina or Mahura(sp)Originally Posted by Raineer
SE actually has a method to their mob naming?
I just assumed that they ran out of ideas a long time ago and started smashing their face into the keyboard when they needed new names. Seriously, what the hell is a Gwyn Ap Knudd??
HAHAH yea, look up almost any enemy from past games and this current one and it usually has a sweet story behind it.Originally Posted by Taku
I know they mentioned new forms of Conquest, but I see nothing in that paragraph that looks like it has anything to do with PvP. It looks more like a portion of the city might be infested with beastmen, which suggests PvE.Originally Posted by Zigrah

The COOLEST, most interactive thing a game can do is to randomly have beastmen raid a city and force the players inside to either team up and kill them, or to be killed by them. Maybe everyone that participated in killing the beastmen during a raid gets a reward at the end, w/e. If its done to be endgame style/dynamis almost difficulty, it could be a lot of fun and random excitement. Thats what I want to see anyway.
Ultima Online used to do that a lot back in the day, and it was always a little something fun to do.
