    I'd like to add that a friend, Sulnie, translated some of the news page and it appears the two new skills are Glyph-able skills.

    Here is the teaser trailer (uploaded by Mel):

    Hmmm , 2 more skill does looks promising, i hope they didn't nerf tidal so they could just give a godlike new skills to sin to able them faceroll pk now... , gotta have hope i guess.
    Well, improving 2nd NP card stats doens't look promising for 99% of the player base who don't have 2nd rb np set so this will further increase the insane gap between 2nd rb NP players and others, can't say i didn't see that coming, they need to keep the huge cs'ers cs'ing. On a hopefull yet extremely unlikely turns of events, i hope they could make a system where you could trade specific A card sets for S cards so everyone could Farm\Cs an decent S card Set without having to rely on a gambling game which is opening S packs.

    I felt like that video is anti-hype. Good we had some exciting PvP season news today!
    I hope we get more glyph skills, thats would be cool.

    Woooo speculation time is always fun!

    As always, I have not seen this update myself, I have no information on it as of yet so this is the first time I'm seeing it as well.

    I seriously thought for a second that this was a new game because the trailers style and the logo kind of threw me off.

    My **personal hopes for the themepark -
    Buffs and free goodies to help F2P players
    A Claw Machine/UFO Catcher for exclusive rewards (Pets/Flyers)
    Lore to explain this whole thing
    Themepark either built around Neverfall or in a brand new nation.

    Id imagine it'll be a new land after all there is still north south and east lands currently unused (on the larger map)

    It's worth noting that the girl with pink hair in the artwork and trailer appears to be Astrid (compare her to her NP card art). We might be meeting the Flame Empress Astrid and ??? somewhere in Neverfall building up to the unlocking of the Southern Reaches (much like how Primal World introduced us to Althea and Alexander) or we're already visiting a part of the Flame Empire? ​​

    Really curious about the skills of course.
    I wonder if we'll be able to glyph more than 6 of them?

    New glyph skills sounds really exciting, it feels a bit stupid now, not real choices. I do hope they don't increase the amount of skills you can glyph, I want there to be some cool skill choices instead of an extremely clear path

    the trailer seems like it is something for the homestead, where you will be able to build a fun park

    The real question that needs an answer is though:
    How badly will FPS drop in that area?​​

    Not to worry. The US has an upcoming annular eclipse for the western US in oct 2023 and another total eclipse for the mid-eastern US to new england in april 2024.

    As for the theme parks......WTF??

    ^ asking the real questions.

    More Glyph skills = more additional testing, hehe. I can't imagine what'll happen if they make all of the skills able to be Glyph'd.

    I'll keep an eye on their forums/site for further announcements!

    I can.. And I dont fancy being one of the ones to be doing the testing.. Tho surly this is done at PWCN end so you dont have to test all the skills?

    I agree. It does feel more like a homestead thing rather than anything else.
    Granted, it's still early to say for sure, but after watching the first trailer that's the feeling I'm getting. Not gonna bother with the second trailer, as I'm not too sold on this fun park thing right now.

    But again, it'll be a while still 2019, so there's time for improvement.

    CN sent me the pics from their site and that CGI trailer, so we're definitely getting this themepark thing! But other than that, still don't know much aside from what they're providing on their site for now.

    @heero200 They do, but we still check them here to make sure.

    Seems like a copy of an idea from another game, where they got "Darkmoon Faire", which is filled with mini games basically and you then do mini games for mostly vanity items. Sure, I imagine such thing will be interesting content for some ppl, least till they get what they want from it reward wise but if thats gonna be expansions main selling point, lol.

    Dont get me wrong, such mini game area could be extremely fun every now and then but its just not enough content to justify an expansion imo. It might work on CN market, I dunno but for western market its not gonna work too well because ppl are gonna get bored with mini games fast and ask, what not? There are games which do larger patches than that.

    Hopefully whatever they are planning to modify/update regarding the skills will be good, but I'm genuinely not keeping my hopes up because I don't want to be disappointed. I will accept whatever we get, regardless of how it affects the class balance. It's not like we can do anything about it anyway; all changes are made with PWCN's meta in mind. But hey, at least we are supposedly getting two more Glyph skills so that's something exciting to me. I get to play with and test something new.

    I believe the theme park has potential, but it depends on how they will handle it. For one, it could be a place that players of all levels and all gear can access and enjoy. It would be good to have something that doesn't require specific levels or gear to do. The thing is, though, that it should at least reward players with something useful, because if it's purely vanity items or just "for fun" then yeah... players will ignore it once they've tried all rides/games and it will turn into yet another dead area of the game.
