  What would you like to know? Also a thread like this might be better in the questions and help section for next time!

  Do all the new Gs, also do the old ones since they give AP now. Pick your new main skill set and start wailing.

  [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="4"]Um i think i left off somewhere around 5 or 6 months ago? But i was off and on before that for about a year... the talent system kinda came as a shock when i came back @_@[/SIZE][/FONT]

  I'm honestly not sure where to begin lol.... There is alot of new things introduced but I am honestly too lazy to post them all, you are welcome to pm me if you have any specific questions tho.

  [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="4"]I will thank you lol ^_^[/SIZE][/FONT]

  Well the talent system came just over a year ago, so I'm assuming stuff like puppetry and gunner is new to you?
  
  I'd say the biggest changes off the top of my head are:
  - Introduction of puppets (extreme mob control, focuses on AoE skills, requires str and dex for damage)
  - Introduction of gunner (focuses on constant and fast DPS granted you have the stats to back it, someone else will need to tell you the rest idk much about gunners)
  - Iria got revamped and is all pretty and stuff
  - Field bosses are now on a set timetable and everyone is rewarded based on their contribution towards killing said bosses
  - Introduction of lord missions, nobody really does them though
  - G18, new gen, story wise it's pretty boring but it gives AP so just do it
  - Dragon raids, come to alexina if you want to do them
  
  Idk what else there is really.

  That's really a matter of opinion. I personally enjoyed the storyline of G18 and though it was pretty fun and engaging albeit a bit rushed at the end. Season 2 of Saga of Iria is coming out in KR soon as well which will also add a bunch of content that me and the rest of the KR Test Crew will be covering.
  
  The big thing in NA right now is the Hero updates. We got Starlet (Diva) and Merlin. In the next month or two we'll have Vate as well.

  Two ? What makes you think theyll be off schedule with vate ? considering we got the last two in the span of almost 30 days apart from each other . Anyways , expect vate next week or some time this month . Vates gonna add 4 new alchemy skills and the guard cylinder [ which is great for combos with other melee skills and things like magic ] .

  I don't like to over-assume something and get disappointed. It's better to under estimate Nexon than to get your hopes too high and flip out when what you predicted doesn't actually happen.
  
  I've seen far too many people flip a lid way too early and way too quickly because something didn't happen in the exact order/timeframe they expected.

  [FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="4"]oh yeah, was wondering. i missed getting a merlin card, are they gonna come back or something? (they really need to do that for all the past stuff, cuz a lot of people miss it)[/SIZE][/FONT]

  You don't need a Merlin Card, all the skills that the Merlin Card gave you are available through quests in the game and if you want to go into the Merlin talent/destiny you can just buy an Ace Card.
