Don't get too hyped with the next update- disappointed new gear and instances

I was looking at the PWJP page.

I don't know Japanese, but from google translate - it seems that there won't be an actual new Abad and SoT instance. It's more like a revamped TM mode for the 2 instances. This make sense since the current Abad and SoT instance contains bosses required for lvl 99 Culti, and they can't just replace those bosses all together. But is the new TM mode worth doing? It is for some, but not for a majority of those who already can afford josd shards and g13+ rings.

These new revamped TM runs can be completed with 10 people in squad and around 10 minutes average based on some you tube vids.

New G13 rings you can get from the TM modes
http://www.pwdatabase.com/cn/items/38421
http://www.pwdatabase.com/cn/items/38420

In order to make these rings, you need:
- the mold (Cost 3 golden badges - 1st place reward from the TM).
- 3 more golden badges
- 3 mil coins
- 12x of some type of new badge.

These new badges can only be obtained once per week as a reward from completing a quest to kill certain bosses in Seat/Abad.

So you need 12 weeks and 6 successful 1st place TM runs of one instance to get one G13 ring. Unless those badges are account stash able...

Perhaps the only good thing in this update is the Meridian System. Venos everywhere will rejoice with their new things to do. As for NW - too big a map with boring battles with no one in them most of the time.


New shard replacement feature:

If you want to reshard something different (just one shard) in your equipment that has no empty sockets. You now can, without having to purge the equipment to have all empty sockets. It will allow you to replace the shard of your choice.

    I'm mostly interested in the pet upgrades, obviously, so the rest is just a bonus for me.

    I do like this new TM thing regardless though. It's something new for some people to do and apparently you can exchange those badges for some decent shards which is nice for the less wealthy people who have trouble affording the better shards.

    The new shard replacement feature is good too.

    Overall though, I think most of us already know not to place the expectations too high in order to avoid disappointments. I'm excited but not expecting too much f:laugh

    I won't nay-say any updates PW brings us before experiencing them and seeing what everyone has to say after they have experienced them.

    I admit I don't care too much about gear updates, but it gives the opportunity to add some extra variety in what is a pretty much bland gear atmosphere.

    I am though very excited about the pet updates, but I'm sure most 100+ venos are, so that's no big surprise lol.

    The Meridian system seems interesting too. Sometimes it's little things that keep people playing b:cute

    My veno is my alt, but I'm excited. =P

    I'm also glad I wasn't lazy and lvled my nix and herc 100 with the snowmen, I know other people playing veno as main with lvl 80-90 nix/herc. I know there's a new system to lvl them faster, but still, mines are ready. =)

    Well after digging a bit in pwi database, it seems like the gold medal from these dungeons are worth nothing except for the rings.
    You cant use them anymore to get attack charms or other usefull stuff, so there is no point in doing that after you got the stuff you wanted and thats it.

    The 1 week only things on the other hand get usefull stuff like shards, so thats a twist right here, its just like Morai.
    You cant just do TM allday and get your stuff faster, no you need to do the same **** 3 weeks to get one shard, yes 12 weeks for 4 shards to get a piece full, have fun.

    But i dont know if this comes here like that or we just can do it like we doing warsong/lunar now, you can choose how often you want to do it to aquire stuff faster. i would prefer that..

    No - don't think so, the Chinese character 真气值 doesn't say strength or attack increase. I think it's mp. The other ring with channeling that has 生命值 +180 is 180 hp.

    THE HORROR!
    the new content is not good for r9rr+12 maxed toons!!!!
    b:shockedb:shocked


    those rings are like the r8 ring and you can refine them. plus they have demonwarding levels which is a nice boost for pve. pretty nifty for that pve alt or even main instead of skycovers if you jsut want to refine for pdef
    you only purge once #yopo

    yeah its a new trophy mode.
    only diff. is there are some mobs you may want to avoid on the run, and like nirvana last boss chest dig, there is something similar to that on at least one of the bosses. (you have to dig it before you reach the boss)

    the shards and the ring are not account stashable

    the new trohpy mode badges can be converted to the old trophy mode (prolly for those that have incomplete runs)

    I think the new medal rewards can be converted to the old medals so that we can peruse the old TM capes if we want to - but they are not really worth getting atm for PWI. Supposedly, if you acquire every single TM cape in the game, you can combine them for certain glory tokens, and take those tokens to the 1k stream elder to get the best G14 interval cape in the game. Unfortunately, this quest to get it is not doable since PWI don't have FCC TM.
