Changes Scheduled for the March Version Update (03/04/2008)

We would like to introduce some more changes scheduled for the next version update, in addition to those mentioned in previous Topics postings.

Emotes

Due to popular demand, the following new emote commands will be added. Now you can dance just like a real dancer, regardless of job, location, or situation!
/dance1
/dance2
/dance3
/dance4

Pankration

It will be possible to summon the following monster families captured with fiendtrappers:
Gear, Rampart, Chariot, Soulflayer

Adventurer Recruitment Program

New items, "Sol Cap" and "Lunar Cap," will be offered as special gift items in the Adventurer Recruitment Program.

Details regarding the terms and conditions to obtain special gift items can be found here.

-The Lunar Cap is scheduled to be added to special gift item list (A).
-The Sol Cap is scheduled to be added to special gift item list (B).

New Items

The "Emperor Band" will be added to the list of enchanted items that offer a bonus to experience points or limit points. Along with existing items, "Empress Band" and "Chariot Band," the "Emperor Band" can be obtained by trading your individual conquest points. Please note, however, that only one of the above three can be equipped at any given time.

Thanks for the heads up. I'd love to be the dancing Bard! XD

/dance emotes.......

They keep trying to make this game more and more like WoW every update. ._.



EDIT: Although the Chariots and Soulflayers being able to be used in Pankration looks kinda pimp.

 

[Dayner]

i don't really like this update >_>

 

[Halifirien]

The Pankration update I want to see is one where Beastmasters can summon their pet and use it in the field. I'd be training in Whitegate 24-7 if that happened.

Dancer emotes are kinda nice, but I'm more intrigued by the Emperor band.

 

[Xalioniaf]

S-soulflayer?
Suddenly my DRK Qutrub doesn't seem so hot anymore :/
People wanted dance emotes, so now we have dance emotes. Nothing much I can say about that.
And the Emperor Band sounds interesting. I can't wait to see what it does.

 

[Gerry]

I'm interested in the gears being made available for capture...

I wanna get one and call it Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!!!! XD

 

[Tim Wakefield]

More EXP help for gimps to be able to get to 75 with. /joy

Yeah at the Fanfest we all asked for /dance emotes. (Well i didn't ask for them, but it would have been nice to have /dance actually do something)

This is what I'm afraid of (gg, ending a sentence with a preposition). I'll feel awkward tossing my trusty Empress unless this is on-par or just slightly underneath the stats of an Anniversary Ring.

Likewise, does anyone else get the impending feeling that use of a Soulflayer in Pankration is akin to use of Mewtwo in a Pokemon battle?






Dance emotes: meh.

You guys don't see the bigger picture here...dancing in front of kirin as a naked elf may have a hidden effect! It could possibly cast death on him without us realizing and kill him in 10 attack rounds!

LOL!!

Personally I'm excited about the possibility of smidgeon. Also, come on dance emotes? What's not to love about that??

Full-alliance chorus line to Absolute Virtue: You got served.

Is it me or the more info they release, the more I am disappointed in waiting four months for nothing? I mean really, dance emotes? NPC updates? For a lack of a better phrase, throw me a fricken bone... I know they'll add more missions and items... probably... but don't most of these update details sound like the stuff they sneak in just as servers go down and they release all info?

Not really. The userbase has been largely calling for dance emotes since before the inception of Dancer as a job. To be fully honest, I was very surprised that dance emotes weren't implemented as soon as WotG/Dancer was.

As for Pankration: People have been asking for more and more with Pankration.

Same with NPC fellows. Sure, maybe SE didn't make certain things available (travel to Aht Urhgan areas or a level cap), but good lord: look at all the things readily available in this game now that need to be constantly adjusted, updated, rebuilt, nerfed, and any other number of things.


In before anyone else says "glad to see SE's taking care of what needs fixing". So damn tired of reading that.

I think it's even worse that some of the gear they add (like Iron Ram) gives such borderline useless stats. There's other incredibly inexpensive gear that can for the most part blow the set out of the water quite easily, even with the set bonus. =\

I agree. Remember back in the day when they would just come out and WHAM! Here are all of your version updates in one announcement. Now we all have to get our balls teased with mediocre details to tide us over until they actually add something worthwhile.

We all know what everybody is waiting for: Missions, AF, Relic for the ToAU jobs (Ridiculous that after more than a year that this shit still isn't out), and job updates. GTFO with these retarded teasers and just admit that you are slow as fuck when it comes to updating your own damn game. 14 weeks is asinine.

 

[K. Ishitar]

Anyone else feel like they're playing the lotto waiting for SE to give the specifics on the job adjustments?

D:

 

[Spalko]

i hope the emperor band will be like A.ring, better if we allow to own all 3 of them

 

[Hitaru]

atleast you won't see pansies spamming the tarutaru dance....
