Any idea of which TT mats you need for the new classes weapons?

Would be nice to see how forges are now organized.

He clicked most things randomly and very fast. At least I was able to see what the LA class needs, thanks for the link.

I hate the fact that the seekers one is a dual sword/blade

Again, sorry if this was asked already:

Will the r9-scythes have purify too?

question about the new daily check=in rewards are they random or do you choose what you want?

It's actually on a predefined schedule. There is a yearly list of 365 prizes. Most of them are typical things.

The ""AA"-class aka caster is a mobile wizard.

The LA-Class is more or less a mixture of seeker/BM and sin.

Both interesting, but only the caster class takes the cake for me. Amazing. Currently lvl60. Still loads of fun. Done anything so far solo...with lvl30 gears cept for the range melee bosses, thats impossible. W/o the mobility I wouldnt have been able to solo most bosses == amazing.

So i've finally finished autopatching(that took absolutely forever), and then a window(about patcher), said something wasn't working and had to close the whole program. It closes. Oh lord.

Then i open the launcher and after a few flashes[from the bar on the bottom left], it looks like this: http://gyazo.com/c883c53cc11cd1cf7d4e665eed6087ae

This means it's done, right?(Oh god) I can't click Play.

Someone please help;;;;

EDIT:
I realize that my game version is at 1625. When i try to autopatch it, nothing happens. How do I manually patch it?

As you can see the manual patch button(the one with the 手 symbol on the right?) is unclickable.

I've just noticed that after recast, the morai weapon becomes part of a set bonus http://i.imgur.com/Ewc6gav.png .
That's curious, I guess they changed the set bonus as well and not only added 10 demonhunting lvls.

Ya the set bonus was buffed a little.

Old:
3/5 = Warding Level +5
4/5 = Slaying Level +5
5/5 = Chan -3% (AA) Int-.05 (LA/HA)

Morai Recast set (plus weapon):
3/6 = Warding Level +5
4/6 = Slaying Level +5
5/6 = Chan -6% (AA) Int -.05 (LA/HA)
6/6 = HP+600 (AA) / HP+650 (LA) / HP+750 (HA)

I saw in a video that it was just the dance from Sapphire fashion for the male LA class... I really hope that's not it though. :c

Thank you for the answer, it sounds good actually.

Seems like there's not much new content added for "older" classes. Kinda disappointing. I was hoping for a few skill updates, or even bug fixes at the very least. But I guess with a dying game like this the best way to milk out a little more money is to introduce some new classes, plus it might entice some old players to come back with a fresh start.

Best point so far. I really hope this will stay so in our version. b:laugh

NO it isn't - the best point would've been ABOLITION of botting and returned VALUE to DQ items so people can earn money like in the old days!!

I would venture to say that it's still hard to say what will come out. Not only is this the first of many coming patches on PW-CN for this expansion, but it's only been released on the test server so far. The "real" version is released tomorrow on PW-CN, I believe. Furthermore, normally between this time and the time we obtain our expansion on PWI, normally another major patch or two of content and fixes are added, and a few minor patches as well. So far it is a bit disappointing that the only things we have seen are stuff mainly aimed for people rolling the new classes. The new instance for r8 recast 3rd stage will be pretty neat, I suppose. Even if we get the instance, it wouldn't help much considering most people went R9 instead of R8, or Warsoul 2nd stage/Nirvana 3rd stage (though word around the block is Warsoul is maybe getting a 3rd stage?). Anyways, even if we get the new instance, getting r8 2nd stage is really hard from what I understand, which is why most people went r999, Warsoul, or Nirvana. If 3rd stage R8 is easier to obtain than R8 2nd stage, it will be really wacky.

With the engine being updated to Angelica 3, I was hoping for a graphical overhaul (at least updating textures...), and working on new things for other classes as well. I mean, all that seems to be added is another set of r8 gear and some quests. No skills, dailies, or new areas designed to be farmed out daily for older toons.

The problem with this, as its been stated many times before....is that players would just go to 3rd party botting again. Its already been proven that PWE doesn't really do much against "illegal" bots

freygin

Is the game engine really got upgraded, can anyone trying the CN test server notice/confirm from the experience playing there ?

Aside from aesthetic changes from using the new engine, I'd be very happy if they have eliminated the lag when in a very crowded area, like when people gather together for a mass PK in an area for example 30 vs 30 , my fps can go down as low as 7 fps showed on fraps. I use i7 2600k, 16gb ram, MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2gb gddr5, I also put the game client on an SSD drive, the lag is just ridiculous and unbelieveable.

It was getting hard to earn money through botting anyway due to the massive inflation. With the nerf to DQ, gold price should decrease a bit, especially since people don't open packs nearly as often as they used to.

This also makes TW become a significant source of income again, especially if gold can go back down to the 2 million mark.

However, I do suspect another reason gold is so expensive atm is because of a lack of new blood, which means less gold selling, as well as more cash shopping vets quitting the game due to server/TW stagnation. If that's the case, gold will stay high, and F2P players will just be completely screwed. (This was kind of true in other pwi games that died as well).

Well ok, if thats the case, low-level/ new players are (as someone else said) screwed, but inflation wasn't going up excessively before legal botting afaik. Apart from anything else legal bots are a complete pain anyway as they just love to irritate other players by botting in quest areas, so if PW! are allowing botting they should make them pay for it by making them easily PK-able so others can erase them from their game! b:chuckle

This is my thought too. Even with inflated gold prices you could still earn coins. After the upcoming dq nerf, earning coins will be extremely hard (I guess unless you have 20 alts sitting at jolly) and I think gold prices will remain high, not under 2.5m-3m. People will still complain about not affording high gold. As they always have.

This is pretty much the issue. Botting just exacerbated it by causing an influx of coin.

I hear(d) a rumor (on dw's world chat) about the next expansion that is coming to our servers, and if it turns out to be true I am so G O N E. (I know not much of a 'threat' to some, but i'm sure some will miss me.)

Still if this rumor turns out to be true... have fun with what little is left. (Rumor is that they are going to make all of pwi servers pvp... meaning no more pve.) Nw makes me feel pressured enough, and if this would be added it would pressure me in the wrong way enough so for me to up and leave albeit I will say my good byes to what friends I do have/are still in contact with. (I am bad at keeping in touch with people QQ. )

Regardless as I said/implied it only seems to be a RUMOR atm, but IF it turns out to be true.... 1 word... BYE.

It is a lie, someone just wanted to rock the boat.
