  This is so great I could almost cum. Almost. LF>Fishing holes in dungeons and less blocky room types and more dungeon event types and keys being usable by the entire party.
  
  I am really surprised, I didn't think they could do half the things they did here. This is a sign of the apocalypse.

  I was pretty surprised myself.
  I wonder what made them do these things, and why they couldn't do it sooner...
  I mean, this game is almost 13 years old now.

  • Up to 4 people? Did they lower the 8 down?
    
  • No more "Advanced for 2/3"?
    
  • What have they done to Iria, RP, and Generation dungeons? Are they affected?

  - Not sure. Someone will have to check.
  - Yes, it's automatically "up to 4 people" with any pass.
  - Iria, RP and Generation Dungeons are unaffected.

  So is that Poulnabrone thing just for the event I wonder.
  It seems very convenient.

  Oh awesome.
  I was a little worried because of that one prize in the "exchange shop".
  That... Revamp Event Coupon?
  But never mind that now.
  
  Man... G20 and now this.
  I'm looking forward to what's to come.

  This is it boys. The update we've been waiting for.

  I don't wanna be a party pooper, but I'm afraid that new high difficulty content is gonna be "get swarmed by AHS mob" yet again. Not to mention that according to that chart, Peaca Abyss is still the hardest stuff as far as dungeons go.
  
  It's good that they are doing something, but so far it's just baiting people into dungeons with rewards instead of trying to rebalance combat. Again.
• Zeo wrote on 2016-01-14 13:31
  I wonder what the Heroic dungeons will be like... Especially for Peaca, heheh.
  
  But lot of people will be happy though as dungeon revamp have been wanted for a long time now and hopefully it will encourage people to spam dungeons more frequently instead of grinding SMs for easy exp and gold. And also... No new instruments? Ah well, I guess we will continue to use gloomy sunday.
  
  So... I guess this is the 'first part' of 2016 renovation for us... since I do recall the C6 director mentioning something about spirit weapon revamp possibly coming up in 2016 as a part of upgrade. If that is the case... I better see the egoable instruments, knuckles, control bars, guns, and shurikens.

  In my opinion to make an actual good Ego Revamp they wouldn't only need to revamp Egos.
  They would need to nerf all weapons and then make Egos stronger so in the End there's pros and Contra to having an Ego or a Step 6/7 Enchanted Weapon.
  
  Currently you only get a Fire Wand Ego because of some special stuff, all other Egos aren't worth it because they're far weaker than making a Step 6/7 Celtic Weapon.
  
  i'd like to see a Ego Revamp that made all Weapons Egoable, give you the choice WHICH Spirit you want in it. (Like having the Sword Ego Personality and Portrait even tho you Ego'ed a Blunt weapon etc.) and make them balanced between each other and only in some things stronger than Regular Step 6/7 Weapons. something like that an Ego is statistically able to outdamage a Step 6/7 Weapon but it takes a shitton of Care and even once it reached that point requires maintaining.
  However to make that worthwhile they'd need to either make Enemies Smarter/Stronger or nerf 90% of Skills and Weapons and remove some of the (at least for me) annoying things they did in the past. Like nerf the effectivity of Non-Bard Overture or remove it completly again.
  My ideas on that would be to make it only affect the one who uses the skill and only give a really shitty boost. Other idea would be to make it only affect a very narrow Area around the person because you sure as hell ain't gonna hear that idiot in a corner singing when you clash your Weapons with an Ogre.
  
  Other idea would require devCat/Nexon to stop making Bards a pure subtalent and give them more offensive abilities they can use 50% better than non-bard but that would go against the idea of a class-less Game.
  
  This game would really require a lot of dedication by devCat to revamp and make actually balanced again. a good start would probably be to remove Reforges, but it's a nice income from powercreeps so why remove that brings money?
  
  On the matter of Egoable Knuckles and Guns. Sure, as soon as Weapons and Races are balanced out enough.... seriously devCat get a Race revamp going that makes Races balanced and not "Humans rule the world"
