    Well, it's there, so it's going to happen...

    I should like to see if they are going to remove lunar's fee with this "update" and if I am strong enough to do the new EU.b:question

    It's also interesting how we are going to get this before the chinese servers...

    Eh another tier or nirvana is more coin to spend or endless hours of farming. I am just not up for all that anymore. I think i'll be moving along.

    But the update looks interesting. EU being more challenging as well as lunar and warsong sounds nice. More stuff to do end game was really needed. Hopefully it'll be tanks that actually need to tank and everyone learns some aggro control again, at least til they get the new stuff and can probably tank easily.

    The missing skills coming in will be fantastic. People been waiting for em.

    And that's why they wouldn't be able to make me set foot in there, even if they handed out free recast r9 at the end.

    Let's not forget that EU can only be done once a day (edit: six times a week, apparently), and...

    ''Each successful run of the Advanced Endless Universe will award players with a valuable chance box''

    No thanks.

    Ha Ha... yeah I've never set foot in that place either (due to not having the need or want for Morai gear). Meh... still have no interest in going in there. Since the skills and boxes you get are going to be tradable, I'll probably just buy what I need off someone at some point. Warsong and Lunar updates definitely look interesting though. As long as I'm still killing time in this game until xxx comes out, I'll definitely try them.

    Pity we haven't seen anything in the update about "another way to get to 105" that was bandied about earlier in the forums. b:shutup

    I haven't either, however considering the vast amount of idiots in my server. And the lack of Archers..... I'll probably HAVE to run it -_-'. Chance box though seems disappointing. Maybe the chance box has a chance for THIS item or perhaps its a chance to gain one random skill book of each class and you can just trade with each other? Lunar / FULL Warsong will be for the items to make 3rd stage nirvana and 2nd cast r9. So I doubt many people will run this.

    Well I can list quite a few things you can do for 10~17mil Exp a day with maybe 2 hours of your time depending on your class and what you'd want to do besides make your eyes bleed in FF. And the sin glitch for bishop exp kinda sucks unless you're going to afk for like 3 hours then come back and do it.

    I think the chance box will give skill books of every class, so there's quite a chance that if you get one, it's one that you don't need. There being a lack of archers will probably work out in your favor b:chuckle

    Ya I think it will. I swear every day I saw EU being run in WC there were at least 1-3 squads that were screaming for Ranged DD (Prefer Archer.) at least once if not 5 times before they got one or gave up...... And the most of the other archers are too lazy to do it themselves and will probably just try and buy it so my hopes aren't too high. b:surrender

    On a positive note.

    There are maybe a total of 5 R9r users total on every server combined. (From what I've seen). So it'll be rare to see anyone in r9 2nd cast besides the fact getting the molds for it will be a pain in the ***.

    I'm sure these bosses will **** 5 aps squads to shreds or have some epic buff that will dominate them and require caster classes or something (Maybe a variant of the Tower Trial boss + bramble buff?)

    But yes totally unexpected. The Advance EU and change of UI / game bug fixes comes as a nice surprise though.

    The article specifically says that both the chances boxes and the prizes inside are tradable. So if a player gets a chance box, opens it and the skills aren't what he needs, he can still sell those skills individually. That means over time there should eventually be an abundance of skills on sale for every class without having to buy the entire chance box (or even run the instance) just to get the skill you need. This is pretty much what I'm hoping for.

    And back in 2009 there were maybe five R8 users on every server combined, look how that turned out a year later. I wonder when we'll be seeing the magical Arbitrary Stone of Awesomeness that can be traded to General Summer for a full set of R9R mats, now on sale for 100 gold! :P

    I maintain that a constantly-brambled boss is the perfect foil to 5aps. :P

    Well on HT there was me And MsE for r8 alone.. I think there had to be more...
    And if they did that I'd wager it would be close to about 100gold per mat or a pack of 10 for 900g b:chuckle

    Eh Constant AoE purge + spawn minions that explode if you touch them + random bramble buffs = hella hard boss? :P

    Depends on how desperate they are, I'd say. -_-

    So you're saying you were one of the people who earned R8 legit, eh? How easy was that, would you say? I imagine there was a lot of Darkness Stamp farming and buying Dog Tags off of people in addition to running FBs? :P
    Eh Constant AoE purge + spawn minions that explode if you touch them + random bramble buffs = hella hard boss? :P
    If that's what you're going for, sure. Nobody ever believes me when I say bramble mitigates APS though. It's simple - you're punished for ridiculous melee DPS, but any ranged DPS is fine and melee focus will be on more aggro generated in fewer hits. The result of that should be, barbs are needed again due to their ability to generate high aggro with a weak attack that they can easily soak the reflect of. BMs would be encouraged to switch to other weps for DDing (with judicious use of healing/sutra of course), archers would stay at range, and sins... well, the sins can be trolled for all I care. I'm sure they can learn to live with skill damage or bow DDing. That's what Chill of the Deep is for, after all.

    In fairness to the current devs, I thought EU's bosses were pretty interesting. The few times that I've done it, I was so damn happy to find a use for Galvanic Charge (final boss + firing from pool with 42m combined range). XD

    Thought this was posted already.....
    Here is a copy that I had posted in another forum....
    We heard hints that there was a fast way to 105 now. I happened across the method while I was poking around at other stuff.

    1. Hit 95 so you can do the Morai stuff.

    2. Once your prestige points reach the max cap of 5000 in each order, you will be able to exchange 30 influence for a special item.

    3. For the Shroud Order the item is a phenix valley order which lasts for 24hours instead of 15min.

    4. Now you can enter phoenix valley any time of the day.

    if you are able to finish the instance with 1-2 pulls, and hyper 20 times a day, (10activations from old set, 10 activations from new set), that's some super exp.
    It's really too bad that most of the added content isn't actually that original since it's copied from other PWE games.

    The problem with that theory is... you lose 5% prestige and influence each time you leave an order. You're prestige bar stops moving at 5k and doesn't go higher. So you can never retain 5k prestige. I believe they lied to you. However what you can do is have another player open the instance and squad you and you can run it twice if you're fast enough.

    ... The way he wrote it was misleading.

    He did not mean that you need 5,000 Prestige in each order. The currently not implemented quests include, among other things, a quest at 5,000 Prestige for each order. Luminance gets a CoF Directorate Letter, Shroud gets a 24H PV thingy and Corona gets a Nirvana Talisman.

    Another unimplemented quest is a bless box for each order. In PWDB, it shows that Shroud gets +15exp% while Corona and Luminance should get Warding Levels, with Corona getting +10 and Luminance not listed.

    I'd think we get it first becuase mainly of our r9 toons abuse. cuz the r9 second recast would have absolutely no use on chinese server, where they dont have general summer sale (can i get confirm on this little fact?)

    Yeah, this was posted by Korren a while back when they first appeared (Korren's brought us very reliable translated info on expansions in the past) :
    Recently, chinese developers have added some new G16 gear files into game.

    By searching up the Encyclopedia ingame, these new g16 gears are crafted from 2nd cast nirvana gears.

    the developer says that they wont release these gears on PWI-china, instead these gears are made for US server.
    It makes sense that these are for us here on PWI. Rank9 isn't as rampant on PWCN and this whole g16 Nirvana/3rd cast rank9 seems to fit more to our cashshop/playstyle.

    Well, at least something with a high level teamwork requirement is being added. People probably won't be able to pass that unless they know how to play right. That last bit with Lunar Glade won't be worth it unless they take the fee out, or you can forget it.

    That's not enough to bring me back to the game though. Cap FC to be closed to anything under level 75, fix most of the glitches, bugs, SP, less pack sales, better class balancing, and then I'll come back. b:bye
