All the exciting details will be announced here as they become available, so be sure to check back on a regular basis!

pish posh

Deband · 11-04-2008, 07:24 AM

How long is it since last update? doesn't seem that long.

TheStig · 11-04-2008, 07:26 AM

Hahahaha wow 4 weeks to go.

Dazusu · 11-04-2008, 07:29 AM

I'm quite excited about this one too. If the "brand-new systems unlike anything you've seen" are anything as drastic as Level Sync. It sounds like we could have something epic to look forward to.

Destinye · 11-04-2008, 07:30 AM

So a focus on lower leveled players? Maybe we'll finally get a version update people can't complain about...

/wakes up

Anyway, I wonder if this will implement Cat 2 merits for DNC/SCH..probably too soon still.

More missions are always a plus..really interested about who's pulling the strings since it's obviously it isn't Shadow Lord.

Not Kuno · 11-04-2008, 07:31 AM

Early December? See you guys on the 30th.

Jkun · 11-04-2008, 07:33 AM

They made a typo. They meant new Mission. Singular. Don't be daft thinking you're getting any more than one.

My god I'm bitching already what the fuck is wrong with me.

Infini · 11-04-2008, 07:33 AM

Not interested till the details come along ._.

Indeed.

The early september update fell on the 30th as well..wish SE would stop saying early (month) when they clearly meant end of month.

Yeah..at least wait till we get some information before bitching lol. I highly doubt they only meant 1 mission, they're easy..that's true but I'm sure there's at least 2.

Haha, it's quite likely you are exaggerating, but in case you aren't, it's also quite likely they'll at least have to patch in some stuff for the X-mas event. So depending on when they plan to kick that off the update will be mid-December at the latest.

huckster · 11-04-2008, 07:50 AM

September update was on 9th of September:

So the most probable date of the update will be Monday - 8th of December.

So...

Santa gloves or Santa pants this year? That's the main thing that'll be in the update.

I'm voting santa's subligar, because we need some fat man panties yo.

Cesaria · 11-04-2008, 08:12 AM

God no - galka in red fur-trimmed subligar.

Oh hell... Septimus will be along in about 10 seconds now.

Given that the update will be previewed at the fan fest, this is probably the best guess that or the 9th.

Altanass · 11-04-2008, 08:28 AM

custom dungeons for lower level peeps perhaps ;x ?

needs more endgame events though xD, asura's biggest HNM shell has enough people to camp all HNMs at the same time >.> low man turtle with 7 party leaders...

lol

Toth · 11-04-2008, 08:37 AM

Sweet! The month of speculation has begun!

lol

I think they were independent comments. Low level content and brand-new systems unlike... etc...

But I do think the big surprise will be custom dungeons.

Suteru · 11-04-2008, 08:45 AM

The Sept 9 update was announced a month after the update before, and two months before the update. Maybe they listened and only announced it a month ahead of time to avoid rampant speculation and horrible updates.

Laser beams for automatons! H2H GRIPS! Wyvern dye! Dhamel mounts! *SHOT*

Loziel · 11-04-2008, 08:48 AM

I still dont understand the point or the draw of a custom dungeon though, unless we can specify and reserve a nice big open area filled with 2x-3x the amount of Greater Colibri than nyzul isle camp for a completely private and epic merit camp, what would be the point? I highly doubt that will be possible but will take my hat off to SE if it is.
