    This is gonna take fair bit of testing before I would say anything with too much certainty.

    The things I am still curious bout mostly:

    1. What is the max aptitude level?

    2. What is max level for the "general level"?

    3. Max level of Astral Energy and how difficult it is to level?

    Surprised they didn't keep the name astrolabe since there are quests in sanctuary referring to astrolabe fragments.. Star chart sounds stupid.

    it says on the news:
    "Fatestars are the nodes on the star. Their Aptitude level is equal to the sum of the two Birthstars they are connected to."
    but if we look at the picture above it then it clearly is 1 + the sum of the two birthstars.


    looks nice, but let us hope that it wont be yet another thing that speperates cs from non cs :(

    Really it's an overly complicated system that's just as confusing in english as it is in chinese. It's going to take a while after it is released here for people to fully understand all the mechanics and terminology.

    Nooo.
    No more ball clicky circle things to fill up with "something" (from fsp's new mode?) for stat boosts.
    Seriously, God-mode has already been unlocked, stacking overkill on top of overkill is terrible.

    Probably like genies, when they were just released and it was hard to realise which is best for you because of huge ton of skills they provided, before someone else actually tested them and shared opinion and experience? x)

    I really dont care if its complicated. All I hope is not to be something like in the Meridian System where you have to open 2 life gates to get the points. Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Death Gate, Life Gate ( exciment) SHUT...AHHH... '' Start again sucker''-says the voice of the spirit of Meridian.
    I hope is not something like that with Star Charts too were if you dont get the correct combination you have to start again.

    It sounds extremely annoying. Probably not many people are going to bother much with it either at first, it's just another thing to keep up with added on top of everything else.

    Also, those translations... >_> Fingers crossed for tweaks? Physical penetration sounds freaking awful. I'd add in Olaf's GIF of "Look at that, I've been impaled" but... Eh. Point still stands.

    I hope that these "stats" can be swapped out.. tbh I as a bm have no use for mp... darn it jim i'm a physical class not a darn caster... earth and water res. meh, could care less about that. evasion ..meh seems a bit mute to me, or at least a wash vs. an archer that has high accuracy or and other class that is as well due to high dex.

    physical penetration ... going to go out on a limb here and say physical attack...lol

    You can swap active stats, I do think its random what you get but you can get rid of mp with enough tries if you so please.

    I just hope that these star charts are not tradable like they are genies so CSers can't get what they want with just cash up front. And can a mod please combine this thread with the other thread about this new star chart system?

    I would think it is like the meridian system, so will not be tradeable. But you can be assured that there will be items added to the boutique that will let people max it out.

    1. 20, but w/out cash you can reach only 10
    2. 50 or 100, rumors differ
    3. 10, and according to CN version quest rewards, it will take a year to reach Astral Energy lv4 and about 372 years to reach Astral Energy lv10.

    372 years?
    Ok than that means I will have to pass my acount to my child who will pass it to her/his child who will pass it to her/his child who..... and in the year 2387 when they will play the SAO( Sword Art Online is an anime not a real game) version of the game Lumina will reach Astral Energy lvl10. Im doing this for the future. I will be remembered as the one that started all.
    Serious now: Whats in the mind of PWCN devs?

    Obviously boutique items will help on leveling it. Thats their line of thinking.

    But from the sound of it, 4-5 is the reasonable max level for players who dont intend to spend too much on leveling that thing.

    Gimmick, do you know how many people activated all the birthstar and fatestar nodes?
    Since having a high Astral energy helps to have a better Star Chart, I think it would be hard as **** to get all the nodes activated.
    However I saw Mel on Youtube who got all activated nodes which means it is not impossible though.

    Maybe at first. But most people said the same thing about cards and now look at where we are :expressionless:

    Of course, it is not impossible.
    It is not required to reach Astral Energy lv10 to unlock all nodes. Star Chart generating behaviour provides you a chance to unlock more nodes than your Astral Enegry level is, but not less :)
    E.g., if you have Astral Energy lv4, your Star Chart will always have 4+ nodes opened.
