It's coming: Update 12/18/2006

[TsingTao]

Twinkling Treants Pt.II. Inside the towns... incoming new winner for funnest event.

It sounds kind of lame to me since we don't get to actually fight them. I doubt it comes close to the first time the treants showed up.

Uh? im still waiting on the BLM in parties make parties bullshit bullshit bullshit patch.. so please.. atleast other classes have gotten what S-E promised!

Anyone speak WTF here? I need a translation.

[Aelfinn]

bst hasnt

[Toth]

Called it!

And can we please wait till we see the actual patch notes before we condemn everything? There still is a lot of potential coming regardless. SE has just been very secretive about it.

I think he meant to quote somebody else.

they do post on weekends, however. I remember the Group 2 merits announcement was on a saturday (July 22nd, if you're wondering). Quite sad that I remember this.
I highly doubt they'll have anything interesting to announce in these next few days.

Is it wrong I'm still looking forward for those forty minutes?

Me too.... and the 1hr to update.

BLM has a lot to complain about. Running assault gave them nothing useful, they have on shitty non +1 items for them in sea/limbus, sky and dynamis. They have horrible level 1 and level 2 merits too. In addition blm's don't get any gear on the awesome king fights; so they can't appreciate the beauty of the zones and engage in meaningful social interaction with other strong hnm shells. They can't solo anything, especially limbus or in sea.

BST really has nothing to bitch about. Running assault gives you pln gear, incredibly useful. BST AF2 is amazing, I melee in it all the time with the great +4 dex and vit that the entire set gives me. BST AF+1 is pretty much amazing, it totally enhances the best af set in the game. Since you need to kill Ulli and kings to get your end game gear you will always be able to participate in the camping which is awesome.

Unlike BLM Nerf BST nerf really helped the job by forcing less social players to participate in parties through the act of removing useless solo exp spots. BST rocks at solo limbus too, just pop a CC and fight ghost clots!! We can pop out a 200k jug and have a 50% chance of doing 1k dmg to a mob at night!!! Merits rock too. Just take a look at our level 2 merits (besides those useless affinity merits since there are already such great level 75 jugs). Feral howl! consist of a low chance of working stun with a 15min cool down, great on IT and HNM; 1hp/tic regen added to reward useful when your pet has 4500 hp and gets hit for 100-200dmg..; oh yeah and a circle that only works when you have the right pet equipped... That's totally overpowered.

Yeah, blm has a lot to bitch about.

You forgot how awesome the int bonus is on the AF2 Body. It totally enhances my Spiral Hell damage way more than a hauberk could. Man I love risking my neck everyfight for an amazing 4k/hr if I'm lucky. BST totally rocks for NM camping too. I love having people help me by dia'ing my NM when I pet swap.

So.... being favored for so long catches up to them... big deal

[HAcoreRD]

My concern:

What are the new Blue spells, and what race will teach them?

if UFO teaches one, I'll puke.

didn't they already mention soulflayers / poroggo / puks ?

as well as cure moves.

only puks use white wind in besieged, so we arent seeing the whole picture

Unlike you guys, I don't really have any concerns or doubts about the update.

Get into the mindframe that every update will suck, and be pleasently surprised when you get a good one.

Honestly I think the last really exciting thing added to the game was CoP wyrms. Established ls were going after them and it took quite a while for the strat to be refined, now of course any ls that wants to try them has a starting point to work with. But it all started going down hill when we killed Tiamat and got nothing, not even a crystal. Since then there hasnt been anything as Epic feeling. They have added content I enjoy, but not to the degree I enjoyed having all the effort on CoP wyrms come together and be among the first to kill Vrtra on Midgard. For some of us even though we grow tired of it world spawn hnm will always be king, its just that we need new World spawn encounters worth killing, and challenging to the degree that it takes weeks of practice to work out a strat.

P.S. Do not even mention AV.... that is just a joke.

nothing will take that long ever again, the game is way too different than it was 2 years ago. People are maxed out on merits, and much better gear compared to back then, i cant ever see a new mob being added that isnt killed within a week or less.

Maybe AV is just a really horrible attempt to define challenge.

Just like how the entire sea is a horrible attempt to define effort by SE's part.
