lol nice. I bought item mall items on Lintra and they are stuck there >:( Though Jackal and I might play on Valdes anyway.

It's almost here! supposedly everything is being revamped but the graphics! New maps, more quests, weapons, armor, skills, classes (I think, judging by the daggers, scythes) etc.

Follow up info and images here.
Official site updates here.

Woah this Thursday?!
I would try it again if my pc's monitor worked =[

[Barotix]

They pulled a little bait&switch on bartuks (Mystics are now a support class [think slightly stronger tempest] & Forsakers are single target DPS based. Zerkers are now single target PvP & Warlords are raid & party toons). BTW, Sacchin, it's a completely new game now. Same skills with skill trees, some class roles were changed, some classes were buffed (*cough* OP rogues*cough*), some classes were nerfed (*LOLOLOL*tempest*LOLOLOLOL*), some classes were hardly changed (Domi/Defiler/Ranger), and some classes are more viable (Avenger). Meh. I hear BM gets nerfed & druid gets buffed. They haven't even released the patch notes yet.

[DarkJackal]

Looks like Defender has been changed for the better :3.

I hoping they changed the defense stuff though, instead of like 10 def = 1 less dmg, I think I read about that being changed.

MEH. BM was my fav. but at least I have Defiler still. Still eager to see what it will be like. Hopefully less grinding and more quests. The end grinding made me stop and I hope they fix that one Xenoa female face with the one winky eye. It was the best but she looked like a freak.

[Barotix]

IMO Defenders are as sexy as they were in Season 1. If I had to pick an end-game melee class that's OP in 1v1 it would have to be Commanders (Pre-Season 2, of course). Now they just have immunities and dps. Protectors have self-heals, party heals, and a lot of defense. So they made a clear line between PvP Tank and PvE Tank.

Radiants are now primary healers. Their heals were buffed and their attacks were nerfed. Tempest suck or maybe I'm blind, dunno.

The role of mystics and forsakers was switched, mystics are now support DPS & secondary healers (next to protectors & radiants). Forsakers are single target DPS with totems & PvP related skills (chaos totem/loa's curse).

Warlords are no longer fear-locking PvP beast. Just as I predicted, they have been demoted to the role of Raid DPS, AoEs, and Supporting Melee DPS. Zerker is now a single target PvP class that focuses on massive damage in short burst.

Sins & SRs retained everything they had but became more Unique, SR is more Xbow based & Sin is Dual based. Useless skills were removed, %s were decreased, auto attack (for all classes) was nerfed, and skill attack (for all classes AFAIK) was buffed.

Defilers got all the AoEs and ToS has been nerfed, we're not to sure about lithy though. Domis seem the same.

Ranger lost some range but it's business as always going pew-pew with the Highest single target DPS in the game. Avengers gained some serious damage and PvP utility.

BM-Druid, I don't want to go off of rumors, lulz.

Equipment - Have skills now o.o
Defense - % Based (or so we've been told)
Accuracy & Evasion seem important now (Higher accuracy = higher damage done & higher evasion = less damage received).

Is it me or is grinding a little more faster? I lvled pretty fast today, or it's just me.

[Miguez]

I think I didn't like it because I didn't even take time to play it, I'll force myself to double click the Requiem launcher everytime I have the time to play, and see how it goes.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, again.

Prolly cause you're doing stuff you already did over.

*Melez dies, says "fuck it" in chat and logs off*

^Member how you did this everyday D:

[Melez]

That char sucked big time :d Just later I was introduced to the niceness of good dps by my shammy. Of course I made a shammy again, but the very useful totem/curse spells (well, 2 of them I used) are not there anymore. Also, no free items I was supposed to get, less money, hating the fast exp (ok not really ). Leaves me thinking....
