  They're still working on more updates. :thumb:
• Narthice wrote on 2012-05-25 18:39
  So they can't reach Morban yet on the test server?
• SakuraFarron wrote on 2012-05-25 18:43
  The Reboot update only focused on current content. :oops: No Morban or Crescent Moon Island yet. :cry:
• Narthice wrote on 2012-05-25 18:50
  Ah, Gotcha, so the next update is coming on the 31st I suppose?
• SakuraFarron wrote on 2012-05-25 18:57
  Since Reboot is on the test server, it should be implemented on the KR server on the 31st. I'll update the first post as soon as Afkalmighty translates the second update/patch when it's released. :skip:
  
  Edit: Someone uploaded Secret Chamber: Hero Mode on YT

  Succubus hat is very sexy *.* Must have!
  
  Though this is a lot of change, very suddenly. They've never had so much content coming out at the same time, maybe it will be divided into several [S]24-hour long[/S] patches when it comes to NA?
• Invertex wrote on 2012-05-26 00:05
  They better not randomly nerf some Lv. 60 sets, since there are a lot of people still reliant on them. I can see why having over 10 Lv. 60 sets available on each character is a bit excessive, but I really don't want to see them change sets that a lot of people still use. I don't like the idea of suddenly destroying people's "endgame" setups simply since they decided their set isn't worth being Lv. 60.
  
  

  •Exquisite mats will be the same as mats that are not Exquisite.

  
  That confuses me a lot.
  
  I also want to know what slots Fervor and Defiance are on. I'm guessing Suffix, which means they'd obsolete Force and Sentinel respectively. Probably from Ep8 Hero missions, which is going to be a headache.
  
  Also uncaps are always nice. I think depending on the percentages, Lv. 3 charged Rose Thorns will outdamage Amaranth now. Until they do anything with Sword Fiona that is. Slashing High and Defence Mastery uncaps means more SH spin2win though, which is an unfortunate consequence. Scythe got some much needed uncaps too.
  
  From that Succubus Hero video, she seems doable enough. Her speed isn't that high. Too bad the cap is going to be an absurdly rare drop, but at least prices will probably be high due to the limited people who can probably finish Succubus Hero. Though I hope Ep8 Hero isn't everything having 13k Defence or something.
  
  In all, I guess I'm fine with these changes. But I really do not like them trying to change the current armor system right now: especially when some of these changes seem to make defence stacking stronger.

  Oh shi- I didn't see the armor changing part. If they weaken my Dark Crest set I'm destroyed :/
• Yanm wrote on 2012-05-26 03:44
  If they weaken my Raider's armor, I won't get rid of it. That's staying with me FOREVER. . .unless they have a Raider's look-alike that's more powerful D:

  Gonna go with Prefix since Deadly and Armadillo exist.
