[Hellrose]

(woops by PTS announcement i mean Test server announcement. anyways)
I always think twice about making posts like this but this one was too amusing to enjoy on my own.
That and I have ppl on my back asking me for a translation.

--> PLEASE READ FOR FUN ONLY <--

There is absolutely NO confirmation that this is a real leak, and L2Day is treating it as a rumour also.

"The amount of damage relegated through Necromancer's Transfer Pain has been decread"

[Talorth]

Fire-Farmers Village has been added

LOL i imagine an old dwarf man in a fire fighter uniform...

I wonder if anyone will get that...

[Targan]

Shield defense rate against magical attacks has been increased

Maybe some love for tanks?


Untill this is confirmed, I won't hold my breath

[Goldshlager]

This cant hold water. Mages should not be able to out run classes... wild magic adding run speed. I think archers, daggers and tanks will now take wild magic.

Increased? When did shields block magic at all?

Wild Magic now increases movement speed as well as Magic Crit rate :dwf_luv:

awesome post cham :) whoever wrote these rumors or leaks really must have tried to make it sound so reaaaaaaaal

[madcow305]

MP potions BETTER not be cheap/easy to get, or SE/EEs lose one of their most valuble skills.

[CharlieM]

Where did L2Day get their info from ?

[Chair]

I <3 you by the way Hellrose, everytime you make a new post its like x-mas. :P

[Goldshlager]

it was leaked. I dont think they would premake announcements like that. Maybe alist, but not the hello people blah blah blah.

[Glav]

It can't be true for one very, very simple reason: Shield stun already can be broken by magic attacks.

It's a very nice wish list, but it's not real. :(

edit: Also, even if it were true, why would they make only one kind of stun break on magic, when they've never made a distinction between types before? :p

[TemplarZ]

LOL biggest joke ever.

MP pots and emp3 pots? Yeah - good luck with that!

dont forget that shield defense against magic is increased. Dont they need to make the shield have mdef first, which isnt in game, which mean they arent increasing anything cause right now shields dont block magic.

[The_One]

It looks like it balances a few things out if you think about it, daggers get better, of course this could be totally false but hey if it isnt, thats cool

[Ecronyte]

hmm so much of it seems, plausible, and its hard to believe someone could make some of that stuff up.

However, much of it does seem a bit off.

and in all honesty Im kinda hoping it isnt true. MP potions, and magic power potions, wild magic run speed increase. Even with acumen being reduced, and shield defense on magic attacks I think nukers might still get a huge boost.

and what is courage potion supposed to be?

anyway when the heck is the 2nd conference for C5 content!?!?!? so maybe we can start to prove or disprove this junk.

[maian]

Some of that would suck majorly, some would be cool.

Sounds like the kind of non-sensical update NCSoft would put out.

I'm praying it is!

courage potion is from lineage 1, it was used by knights and greatly increased their atk speed/run speed

the territorys seem true from the lineage 1 map, there was a fire field farmers town and also a orc castle.

[Tyn]

mage nerf! WEHOO!

[Targan]

Any incress is better then we have now.. Even if it happens less the an Excellant shield defence
But this is most likely all false:hf_cry2:

[CharlieM]

I think the increased shield block on nukes is a shitty translation.
It would be more than likely that shields now have the ability to add mdef / block nukes.

[Hellrose]

K i fixed one of the points for clarification. The shield stun thing was a bug fix not a change.

The other one about shiled defense is not a 'shitty translation' it clearly says it's an increase, not an add. If that proves that this is a fake, good.

Sorry HR, I didnt mean disrespect...its how I talk.
It would make more sense if it was an add though :hf_cry2:

It's ok. I get sensitive for no real reason. it comes with the estrogen.

As much as we'd love to convince ourselves this is real we have to take it for what it is, right.
And, if this IS a leak from the test server then this is one of few notices. So maybe they added it before and then upped it.

Although, IMO if any of you have a real problem with any of this you should complain to NCNA now.. just in case. 'Cause we all know it's too late once it hits Korean PTS.
