The December 12th patch details are up on POL....

Here is the most important part:



(Note: the next page goes on about how gil/account selling/buying = against TOS and they're gonna start banning accounts.)

Note, thats just the part that stood out for me... There's more... like

- A new Thief Job Trait will be added.
- Auction House listing fee will now be proportional to the AH sale price instead of NPC/Guild price.
- More items for "Scavenge" to find
- Ranking system for ballista
- Gobbiebag VI
- 15 new orb BCNMs
- new weapons/equipment
- difficulty of selected promathia missions will be adjusted
- supply quest for Lufaise Meadows will become available
- new monsters and NMs
- quests etc
- more i cant be bothered to type. :P

Very nice, the new THF trait kind of peeked my interest. Maybe "Rare Item" treasure hunter ability or something hehe

Wow, nice. I can't wait for Gobbie Bag VI since I'm always 53/55.

AH fees proportional to AH sale price? Hoho, upping efforts to remove gil from the economy in a rather subtle fashion.

15 new BCNMs. My god, I think we have enough as it is - haha. Another 15? Sheesh!

Wonder how they're going to address the monopoly on current monopolized items and how long it will actually take for desired effect to happen (if at all, might even back fire - ho ho!).



PS - OMGz! ICY, that sig takes up like 45% of my screen even at 1280x1024 resolution! At 800x534 it can be the background for people in 800x600 or less.........

New THF trait... Hmmm...

Flee II... {Run Away!}

Prolly have to quest for that shit too...

Oh man this could mean Ill be doing PvP for ever until I get the top rank.... Its the CKD way.



Someone get kayne in here fast!

I hope they are talking about three kings and not just the lowbie drops. Although I feel they are just talking about kote, leeping boots, astral rings and stuff like that. I want to see Kayne in Blackbelt and Reinheld in Adaman Hauberk(S?). I want to see Vorath in Dalmatica. Theres alot of stuff Id like to get but its just not possible with the monopoly the japanese players have.

Then again they did put the BC99s in and gods knows those are next to impossible.

Like most of squares "Fixes" the new ways will be 100 times harder then the old ways.

Still, new HNMs, New BCNMs, Where are the new quests? WHERES THE REST OF MY DAMN FORK QUEST!

Several previously unstackable food will now be stackable.
I sure hope that Jack o' Lantern will be one of those.

I'm going to caution people from "hoping" or "expecting" certain things to happen. Alot of the "Month-Month Announcements" are really awesome, but people get dissapointed when they misread or don't understand or overexpect from certain changes. SE Does a good job with these updates, and you'll like htem even more if you don't expect to much from the start.

the new trait for THF is called "exp hunter" with a THF in your party the exp you gain is multi by a factor (ie. x1.1) something like that... orz

If they ever going to make more items available I hope they put a new place for more Abj, etc... in any case I think the casheme cloth will finally appear on this update...

_________________

I assume SE is going to visit IGE and start banning accounts who are listed for sale.

That would put a quick end to that.

Seeing the 3 Kings made more fair would be great, but it probably is just referring to the newbie NM camps as was already said. :x

_________________

Well they really need to make it so people can get some of those Abj with out having to have a 3 stand off with people who have a much better ping than you and vs people who just AFK with a voke bot up.

Kirin should have ability to drop any Body Abj. Getting to and killing him is alot harder than Nidhogg, King Behemoth or the king Adamantoise

LOL I think that would be a trait they would give to DRG to make them get parties again

P.S. If melo is serious about "Exp Hunter" I <3 SE

I am serious or at least there is a rumor about 2 months ago on that

OMG OMG OMG!!! I might actually get groups with my THF again

Ack... the auction fee for selling items is going to be proportional for the AH cost of it... does that mean, like, if we want to put a venemous claw we're going to have to fork like 100k?

What the hell r they doing so smn >_< Not only do we suck enough as it is, but they r making us even weaker, OMG THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! I'm SO in the anti-Bush rally mood right now (ya, he's in Ottawa, Canada, and my friends and I... the rest of the city too, r all going to rally against him, fun fun).... OMG I HATE U SE, WE SMN DON'T DESERVE BEING RUINED ANYMORE THAN WE ALREADY ARE @_@ ok, done rant >_>
