    Multi exp thing sounds interesting, as does trophy mode. Are you guy planning on adding trophy mode to other instances as well?

    I know, but if you look at pwdatabase.com, theres a smorgasbord of capes for other instances, including fb69, 89s, and such. And if I'm not mistaken, also a way to combine lesser capes into better capes.

    I don't think the ornaments can be nirvana'd so the answer is only 2. 200 stones can be done in a couple of months if we can actually go into the stupid instance. Why are you saying that is a large number while at the same time you are still doing WQ to get to lvl 102? b:angry

    Mutli-EXP sounds interesting.

    Don't play a TB, especially not psychic, so I have no idea how the changes to their buffs/debuffs/skills/etc. is going to work out.

    Trophy mode sounds interesting.

    Fashion preview in the boutique... about time too, dammit!

    So whats the point of Lunar Glade now? So let me get this straight, I can either level to 99-100 and pay 3 subs per run to do TT3-2,3-3 to get TT99 Gold, or I can pay 3mill for per run to get Lunar pieces, where the monsters are now easier.

    Hey I have a better Idea here me out Devs/GMs. Delete Lunar, but here is the kicker, put all of it in Cash Shop, you already put the weapons and rings, inside the anni packs so its not going to hurt. When players were beating Lunar, and starting to really do good inside it, you change it. So not only do you have to pay for charms, refines, res scrolls etc. Now you have to pay 500k to go in it? What about clerics who are buying charms to keep up RB/BB, now they have to pay 500k too. What about the Barb? So it comes down to what everyone is saying. Play for free, but pay to win.

    For those of you saying that i can merchant that much etc. I don't have time to leave my cpu on 24/7. I have lost all faith in Perfect World Entertainment, good way to make something that was worth working your butt off for, useless. Then again I should have noticed this when you was putting Oracles in the cash shop. Making sure Money$ is better than hard work.

    But for those of us that do want to do it and had a dedicated squad, this update just makes our work in the past for nothing. I prefer WORKING for my gear. Much like some people prefer buying it or buying the mats for it.

    We all have our preferences and this just makes all our current efforts and past efforts a waste.

    Lunar Glade is very easy if you know how to fight the monsters inside, and know what the bosses do, and how to beat them. Making them easier, makes all past effort useless.

    Sig and River are right, Lunar glade really wasn't as hard as everyone thought it was. The real problem was that few people really KNEW anything about Lunar glade. My biggest issue with Lunar has been the armor... it receives no bonuses like the TT99 gear, yet it is harder to achieve. This was just another turn off from Lunar runs IMO. That's what they should of changed. Not a weaker instance, but STRONGER armor to create an incentive.

    Or as someone mentioned on the preview blog, let us warp ahead to valleys instead of always starting at Aqua. Maybe use the soulgems to warp, that way we have to earn the right to warp by actually running the instance. But really, 3 MILLION coins to enter? Why?

Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    To be honest, I DO want those back too. But its not gonna happen. They said FF was a place to level, not really focus on gear.

    Lunar, in my research was more gear oriented than leveling. The mobs are relatively easy, like Signako says, after you learn the methods with which each needs. And lately, we've found we can skip half the valleys mobs and get done quicker. That's how we got to Crisium and to Relic of Wind, we skipped mobs instead of killing everything. The Shoveal valley (Insularum) is the hardest valley, get through that and its almost a cake-walk. We never had any issues getting through valleys, just took so long and by the time we reached Crisium, we were either too tired, or people had to leave for RL issues.

    seems like they're doing quite the same as FF but now to LV. in other words, a lot easier but unrewarding in terms of drops.

    Maybe PWI is trying to be also working class friendly by compromising with shorter instances than dumping everything in boutique cause pple QQ? Cause im pretty sure if you live with a family, work, take a bath, and eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, unless you hermit yourself in your room and prio game over family/friend interaction, its very unrealistic to do such an instance over and over to get your gear. College days? hell ya i had all that time for sure. Now? Not unless i seriously give up every single daily

    So having to pay 3mill per run, helps? It pretty much tells me, grind more, or use real life $ to pay for every run, or becoming a farmer. Either way its still wasting your life in lunar, but now you have to farm/grind for 3mill as well as charms etc, unless you want to waste real money on charms >.>. I rather use that money on feeding my family, or something.
