We have not yet announced the date for Elysium, and I can't tell you when regardless the NDA is real with this one.

HUM... 6 days would be the 13TH as maint will start on the 6 day being the 12...

O Dear...​​

so i guess they gon wait until the very last moment to give us any meaningful information, if at all.

the first thing steam players are going to see is a bunch of reasons to not even bother with this game. i cant wait to see exactly what kind of nonsense post they are going to make in regard to r9r4. i bet they wont even tell us exact details, just show us pictures of skinny chinese toons holding them.

but still expect us to go crazy buying pre-sale items.

I find it weird that the new god skills and the new merged skills haven't been mentioned in the trailer, nor on a news post, it's a pretty big thing to not be mentioned at all and just be thrown in the generic 'and much, much more'.

dont worry guys, all the new skills will be avail in the new elysium special wine packs released to commemorate the opening of the gates to elysium!!!!

I swear this sylenthunder is kinda kissing pwi-staff dorsal part so bad..everytime he finds excuses for them..every [REMOVED] single time..woow

ikr, useless and misinforming like the rest of the trolls and i guess that release date being pushed for the exact same date i wrote up above just got him rekt

You guys should read a lot of my other posts. I'm not afraid of calling PWE out when they **** up.

Also, I was just giving the facts available to us. Anything prior to the official announcement was entirely speculation. The fact that it happened to be correct, does not make it any less of a guess at the time it was stated.​​

So can we transfer refines or gems when upgrading R9?

And absolutely no info given on stats of our r9 upgrade at all. Yet the needed amount of items and cost match exactly with the recipes for converting our r9r3 to the Chinese one. So unless pwi requested custom gear again, there is absolutely nothing making me believe it's an upgrade.
And considering China is trying to get our version to be more like theirs, it wouldn't even be unlikely that it indeed is just a sidegrade.
Hell, the armor in the images in that news post even use the Chinese r9r3 models. Doesn't have to mean anything, but it adds up.
And to top it off, in the news post:

From the news post "Boundless Gear Sneak Peek!" (because for some reason quote won't work).
"Boundless gear is not necessarily stronger than the current max level Rank 9 gear, Limitless, but contains stats more oriented for Player vs. Player combat."


Top. ****. Kek.
Literally everything points towards a sidegrade and not an upgrade.
Our version of R9R3 is better than the chinese one in most, if not all, cases. Have fun with your hundreds of dollars sidegrade that is worse than our version (or should I just call it downgrade at this point) on gear.

I guess we will only really see when the NPC/forge is up, though.

@thenamesdomino can't you post any stats at all from any weapon or armor set (complect maybe) so people at least know WHAT they can upgrade to, that is what people want to know.​​

I knew from the start that its going to be the Chinese r9rr. It was crystal clear. why the hell should they've put the effort to make new gears.

The real question is...where do we get the materials needed from. If they are going to put the same forges cn players have and force us to exchange our NW-Tokens for the same ratios CN players have to then its going to be a massive drag even just to get the weapon.

It can be considered an upgrade tho if you look at it like this: Now that we can freely combine our armor with the new weapon we can get some advantages from it. If I get just the weap on my storm that would yield me..more base dmg, 8 more att lvl, 2% more chan, more HP and 5% more crit. That is a heavy upgrade and considering the gain I really dont mind having to spend around 2b for the weapon alone. Problem is that it wont be that cheap most likely

Can we get "sneak previews" of stats, where the mats are gained and the like? THAT is what we are asking for.....

Best piece of info: "Be very careful when making your decision to switch, all your enchantments and shards equipped on your current Limitless gear will be lost in the upgrade." ​​

I cant notice any diference of the refining belt. It would be hp or elemental resistal? Or something else?

G17 weapons recast 5 probably we will see them in game in 10 months or more.

I for one, will attempt to make the PWCN daggers, they are just sick. However the whole idea of this being an "upgrade" or even sidegrade is a bit warped.

It's an upgrade in the terms that: you upgrade your gear to have better stats. Usually this means introducing entirely new gear.
In this case, only the weapon comes with upgraded stats compared to our version.

Sidegrade in the terms that: this gear has always been in the game and is used in China as R9R3, ours was custom made for our version. Apart from that, their armor and complect is worse than ours. So we are just changing our version to theirs (hence sidegrade)

Downgrade in the terms that: their armor is worse than ours, so why would you do that?​​

Yeah I dont understand entirely why anyone would want to go for a full set. Even the belt. May be refineable but I dont think its worth losing 30 atk levels over.

Still, I am super excited about the weapons. And Animal Crossing simulator.

@rikkert1234 u cannot. one way or athe other. once you upgraded the belt u wont be able to go back.

Just to show some numbers:
The weapons need 100 Orichalcum Ingots, 500 Adamantine Powder and 90,000,000 coins.
The only pre-order pack that actually comes with materials is 127 gold(!)
And it gives 10 Orichalcum ingots and 50 Adamantine powders.
You're need to shell out 1270 gold JUST for the weapon.

That's right. $1.000,00+ for barely better stats on a weapon.

And that's not even with the crappier armor.

@thenamesdomino can anyone at PWE justify this at all, in any way.​​
