I didn't even notice they added more stuff to that site...

I see a lot of hints of fw though.
For example, this and this.
They both look like the priest aoe heal (at least i think that's what it was) skill from fw, hell even same animation.
Concept art area also has pics of crystals that look like the ones used in fw.

I supposed wanmei reusing stuff from fw could be a good or bad thing... It all depends how it's planned out.

Otherwise, the site makes the expansion look more interesting, but considering how wanmei was in the past with all the other expansions, i wonder how much stuff we'll actually be getting that isn't fluff. b:surrender

Also, why do all the vids of the new skills show what appears to be buffs...?
That would surely be disappointing if that's the only thing they have for us in terms of new skills...

The good thing about this? They actually show some of them in areas that don't currently exist. Now if that means just new dungeons or a small new area, at least it isn't a village plopped in the middle of everything.b:chuckle

anyone else look at this? new gear and possible descriptions of the new skills?
just from a quick glance it only looks like they are showcasing: 1 new skill, 1 image of new gear, and one new weapon for each of the classes.

explored further and found videos showcasing all classes new skills I think o.o Looks like only 1 new skill per class ;-;

Bah just 1 skill? It's probably some lame ultimate with a 30 minute cool down. Classes need a complete overhaul.

I completely agree. I really think they should almost make a whole expansion just redoing old skills / instances.

A guildy of mine is chinese and he isn't to sure if they have done anything with the old skills, he just knows they reported 1 of each class has a new skill. He'll let me know if he finds anything more on any of the new content.

I'm just wondering why PWE isn't already making a big deal of this. They aren't exactly known for under-promising their expansions at the last moment. And with how complete the w2i site is, it surely isn't something they just learned about with the Chinese press release. b:question

Has anyone seen the release on any English-language wires yet? I haven't, myself. And it certainly seems like something which they can easily spin as "by popular customer feedback". Even though they've been demonstrating that all they know now is how to stick lottery tickets in the boutique and put extant items on sale, an optimist can see hope for change with a major new content update.

At least personally, I'd be sad to see an expansion where everone just goes to sit in one of the instances 24/7 becuase it gives better experience than Frost. b:cold

It'd be awesome if they could use an expansion to de-emphasize packs some and remind people that there actually is content and a (broken) storyline involved in the game they play. b:scorn One can hope that's part of the announcement delay, writing a coherent story recap, right?

Are they afraid that an expansion announcement so soon after the Nexon agreement will be misconstrued, maybe? Personally, I find that doubtful, as much of the investment press that cares about PWRD at all anymore seems to find them nearing irrelevancy in the F2P market (or, worse, have achieved it already).

(As for gear stats, I didn't notice any earlier. I'll look again later from a real computer.)

I really doubt the only thing we would get in terms of skills is just one new skill.
No, I can't read chinese, but I can navigate the site well enough. (they did make it easier on us by adding english text)

Let's take the wizard for example.
This is from the new skills section.
This is from the class upgrading tab.

To the best of my knowledge, the latter does not resemble any current wizard skills, so it's either something new or a new animation. Feel free to correct me though since I never fully leveled a wizard.
I cannot verify on my own whether or not either scenario is the case, but have your friend take a look at this. I doubt wanmei would've posted it under class upgrades if they weren't planning on using it.

Also, yes, the skill does resemble this, but the picture in the wizards section shows a char with a glaive, something a seeker cannot do.

And it can be yours for the modest fee of 60 chrono pages.

It s not 1 skill only..look the video and look imiges of classes...

Hexalot - Dreamweaver

I'm sorry but given PWE's past track record, only an idiot will believe that their just going to revamp all the current class skills at no cost to the player. Don't be surprised to see level 12 skill books available only in the boutique ! b:avoid

you're right, maybe they could be 69 skills b:dirty (69 culti is no sense, there's just a fb, but no skills :c )
or, they are re-making old skills (i don't belive on this but, who knows?)
I saw that one of the clerics skills looks like a lot of seekers attacking around him b:shocked
ps: would be useful for clerics getting a knock-back, that help on grinding and questing.

no shyat Einstein, what do you have sleep/freeze for? to help you flying? Why do you have heals, plume shell and the 79 damage absorb skill? why do you have aoes (that don't cost spark) both phys and magic and why your spam skills do as much dmg as wizard's spam skill, plus u can do mag and phys dmg with them? Ever tried to kill a mag res mob with a wiz? I guess yeah, cleric is hard to play, we need more PvE SKILLZ FOR CLERICS!!! NAO!!
for God's sake ppl, learn your effin classes gameplay then try to post on forums about new skills.

I don't generally have much of a problem with Mag Resist mobs...providing I have two sparks or there abouts ready to Blade Tempest. Might be nice if us wizzies could have a phys dmg spell that didn't cost chi though

FiveAps - Dreamweaver

i was talking about pew pew skills, not 2 sparks combos or BT or stuff like that. Once you have 3 sparks is only a question of spark/undine/dd, but still, let's not go over there, that's not the point.
My point in the previous post was pretty clear I guess .. moar pve skills for a class that pretty much has it all beside a continuous sustainable aoe.

Was mostly sarcasm. Kinda echoing off Aster's comment of how it will be some lame "ultimate" skill with a long cool-down.

Nother random close up
Trees and bushes are one of the things that cant really be 3D'ed i think. Just pwi doesnt try to hide that fact and displays it on a bigger level.

The Tress in the EG Forest, just north of EG City, those trees are 3D (As in the leaves don't spin around to face you)b:bye

And they will cost 50G for 89, 75g for 92, and 100g for 99 lvl skills. They also come randomly, so you cant know what skill you are getting, and the chance to get a crappy one is 75%
