Scheduled Server Maintenance - *Content Launch* [ 8/29/2017 - 10 PM PST]

What are the new Aerogear that the PWI Schoolteacher offers?

Love the fact that hypers are back for FC. At least now ppl can either lvl their alts and new ppl can use it to get a boost. there were enough instances that ppl don't actually play.

- nirvana : useless, you get more from NW's.
- lunar : no one i know even runs that thing.
- some other instances that higher lvls don't even bother with because the gear is not worth it.

As for UP : try getting a squad together for that one. Can't even get a culti run going for just the first boss. The instance is annoying as F. and it seems most ppl actually hate that crappy designed instance. getting 10 ppl to actually work together that know what they're doing is way harder then one can imagine.

Npc sells perfect stones ? Great, you just destroyed any income from ppl selling it (not me, i just bought em). And if those merchants sell holy pills and the likes, don't forget to take em out of your cashshop. No one's gonna spend gold when it's ingame.

Upgrades +9 and higher announced ? Lmao, that's going to be hilarious. A +12...that i can understand.

They are bound, however, and are slow speeders, cannot enhance

Each flyer only needs 7 Attendance Sheets.

if they slow and cant be enhanced !! why you guys waste time on making such thing ?

now show me the other tabs kaly

@kalystconquerer#0876 I love you!!!

WOW..this update is just absolutely epic

I would've wished for a bit more balancing for sins..but the db fixes will take alot of wind out of dbs and will make 1v1ing as a db finally a bit more challenging ^.^

FC is back, new means to get bloods, chart items, exp..you kept your promise in making it easy to roll a new char. Thank you!

They look fashionable though! Right up my alley.

Hypers in FC (FF as HT players called it) is not a terrible thing, although it does seem like a fairly random decision to make and has not been jusitified by management with any explanation. I think player bases tend to like to have a glimpse on the whys of decisions like this and expose them to proper discussion and possible change.

Frankly, it can't really cause too many more "plvl babies" to show up - mainly because the instant 95 pill option still exists and is a greater source of that problem. People not knowing their class is a solvable issue and it's helped by guilds like my own that actually cater to the pre-100 group as well as the post-100 PvE only players.

More of an issue though is the use of the instance to push people's alts into different Jolly Old Jones level ranges. It may hit the gold economy hard in that if people use FF wisely they can just exploit 71-80 JJ quest on as many accounts as they want. I've noticed some very big bots abuse near this NPC also, including one guy who had literally a storm of genies around one spot right next to JOJ, about 30 toons that all looked identical to each other with random names. May be worth looking into if you have time, Kalyst.

I should also point out the irony of giving away free low speed flyers of little value from the School agent, an NPC which you require a flyer (or embrace/carry/signet/summon I guess) to even speak to due to her location on the central Archo platform. That kind of makes this feature's use very limited and for a fashion statement only rather than a nice utility.

*Completing daily quests for Endless Universe will reward a random Sage or Demon skill book for your class.

So does this mean I can get twin strike and puncture wound from here?

RIP Arena,TW and xTW for DA server

What is the reasoning behind making UP and DH even easier than it already is to complete?

If you allowed hypers to be used again in Frost, has the Dragoon exploit been fixed too?

The real question is what happens with the drops of UP?

The whole purpose of this dungeon is to farm materials for g17 weapon. Correct me if i am wrong but to reduce the amount of bosses will just result in less materials per run. This wouldnt be a big problem if we didnt have the restriction of 1 key per day. This change might be great for people to finish their BH's but it will just slow down the whole process to farm for g17 weapon which is...like i said the purpose of this dungeon.

Side Note: I hope we get more ways to obtain UP keys because to do weekly AND multiple UP BH's per week will be impossible otherwise. Not to mention the daily run which everyone does who wants to farm this weapon.


About DH: It is just an idea but it would be nice change to remove the whole Dice part + boss instead of Twisted Nightmare and just replace it with Twisted Nigthmare OR just remove the whole Dice board at the beginning. It is not about the difficulty. It is just that the whole Dice part is the bottleneck of this dungeon. DH can be done easily and quick but Dice just drags it down and consumes way too much time. Not to mention the fact that half of the squad just goes afk and is useless there.

Looks like the UP patch was focused on making mbh easier. I know there was a thread a little while ago about people complaining over being unable to make squads for it but certain people in that thread are very particular about who they take. Instances aren't supposed to be walked through and people forget that. I guess its down to choice, do you run it for the mbh or mats. This might make it even more difficult to find a squad for some.

Personally I haven't done a full DDH or JDH run in a while as I use my feather to solo just the dice part on 3 characters so the Nightmare doesn't effect me. Gives me an average of 20 level 1 glyphs which is a guaranteed lvl 4 a day plus the other mats. The tidal cd will affect my charm use as on JDH I use just over 1 plat charm sometimes. The money I make though will cover that no problem, just means I need to take another charm or start using defence charms.
Quite often on ET I will solo dice and then just give the instance to someone so they can squad up and run the rest for the daily or mbh. Removing Nightmare just means their run goes from 15mins to 10 mins. Its a fun challenging part having to make sure you're all ready for the bridge and wards, thus making people work. Now it's just here is the bridge, buff and go when ready.

About up. Should be fair if we gets up for mbh that quest gives a key for it like for delta or get 3 key for it like for vana in any way

I also suggested that in a ticket when UP became an mbh option. If people are going to make skipped boss runs to focus on on mbh, would be useful to have the sand we currently have to run a full run. Yeah its only 2 bosses but its still the only way aside from spending 100s of mils on HS to get the mats.

client update is soooooooooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooooow
EU players wont be able to run Arigora today

Gonna get 105 when game is back up.

the exp from goons had been reduced big time before they blocked hypers in there its how they "fixed" the exploit
