New Update In China

http://w2i.wanmei.com/news/gamenews/20111015/62830.shtml

From what I've gotten from the translations, this looks like it could be the guild base instance for farming the R8 recast mats.

All I can make out is that players will have to work together to conquer five rooms of mobs at once. This will spawn a boss in the middle.

There's more to it, and this is only the first part. I can't make out what you have to do in the next stages though.

The last little bit of the post talks about the rewards for completing everything. Looks like there will be exp and the potential to get the mats needed for recasting.

If it's a sort of Delta spin-off as others have surmised, then aoe classes will definitely rule in there. But with up to 100 players being allowed into the instance at any one time, no one is really going to get left out either.

Does this update also mention the SP fix for us simple non Chinese folks?

Recast makes money, SP fix doesn't ... I know you suck at math honey, but I think you can solve this b:cute

This is a post on the Chinese site about their version.

I don't think I've ever seen a post about our version on their site.

It doesn't mention anything about SP.

I imagine a SP fix for us will come eventually, its just a matter of PWI being able to push it out to us.

(Which I'm secretly hoping the countdown timer on the news page is about this and several other fixes/updates we've been missing out on).

On a more serious note...

We all are hoping for that Phantom, but as I understood, it's about the new fashion sale. So it's not much use waiting for the timer I'm afraid b:surrender (timers are usually about money, not fixes)

Looks interesting. Better be worth doing, im levelling my Wiz again to go to a TW faction, thisl give some other motivation if its good.

~Additionally, SP? China doesnt have the stupid no PvP rule, get the hell over it. Im happy for it to stay the same forever.

Well, to put it in perspective, I'm on the PvE server for a reason you know... so they should stick to their own rules and keep it that way and don't install some mandatory PvP area's where you have a lot of low level new players. That is just not right.

The last timer was about new content (i.e. PV) so I'm hoping for EG R9 and a few other things, which would include the SP fix since frankie has stated we get updates in bundles, are coming.

We're not talking about the rule so much as the automatically able to be PK'ed in SP situation. When you're on a PvE server, you have the ability to choose to be in PK mode. However, with SP the way it is, you lose that choice. It also prevents lower level players from completing quests in SP, and, frankly, they need all the help they can get with all the plvling going on. I can respect a new player who wants to learn their class the old fashion way.

I see quite a lot of people packed in that small room....wonder if it's limited to 100 people...and judging from the debuff the mobs cast - it looks like some kind of seal that is preventing people from using continuous AoEs - which once again might be a thing for aps char to farm.

Edit - oh never mind, it's a seal effect- same as the genie skill Expel, so a seeker with bp and vortex would do nicely, or archer/ wiz with bb from cleric.

I wish they can spice it up with like an under water or aerial type of boss to kill.

There are 10 different quests to take in their. Nine of them are level 80-99 required, 3 of them are level 0-100 required and 6 of them are level 100+ required. They have several different types of quests. Some of them will be run like a delta where you must kill waves of mobs with a boss at the end, and some are just a hyped up kill quest where you have a timer and you need to kill 500 mobs in that amount of time to get 1st prize and the prizes scale from there. It's going to be very interesting.

Eh... your maths is a bit off. You said there are 10 different quests to take in there yet you have nine (lvl 80-99) and six (lvl 100+) that are exclusive to certain levels and a further 3 that overlaps all levels (1 -100). So in other words, mid levels get 12 quests while 100+ can only get 9.

i hope they dont make the mats a chest drop where you cant see wtf it is after right clicking on it (like nirvana)

Sorry 18 quests for 9 instances. Every instance will have 2 modes.
