Nice with a sneak peek for us S perricans. A shame it is so limited though.

The maps look so pretty, beaches and sea caves <3
reminds me of the Oceans Roar Cave dungeon from Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) where the dungeon was split between a beach and a sea cave. I miss that game.

Those paladin skills

Only 2 clicks away from creating either happiness or rage.

I like the maps, but I expected way more from the night/day time thing.
Would be nice to have at least the background change to stars or something...

The PR team was running late due to some quality issues, so that might have had something to do with it. Or like the last Sneak Peek, they're showing a different facet to each website to encourage people to hop around.

oh, we can see how much exp he gets from killing the monster in the bottom screenshot. 18,500 EXP per mob. That seems pretty good.

That RED yeti is a pet, right?

Assuming that test server is actually on 1x and real rates.

Yeah, I guess.
I would have imagined the test server will have adopted the way exp rates are shown now though, I think it changed in KMS's test server.

They can change the XP rates on any server at any time. The test server could have 20x XP right now because they were testing advancement prior the screen shots.
The whole point of a test server is to test things, so you have to take anything you see in one with a grain of salt.

What he meant was: When we have 2x now (for example), it's shown in two separate EXP lines. One for base, one for bonus. If the test server were running on 20x using the same mechanism, it should have shown two exp lines: one for base, one for the 19x bonus.
Of course, they could for whatever reason have left the old mechanism in place in the test server. One never knows with Nexon.

Or they could've just shifted the base rate, not the bonus rate. That "never know" goes sooooooooooooo many ways

Same here. There was streetlights in Commerci which I hoped would glow at night and as well as light coming out of some windows. It appears to be just a black box put on the maps (as someone predicted here) and it doesn't look good at all.

Maybe they just edited the text and they don't actually give exp.

THE POSSIBILITIES...

What's that Event Hall? Is it the map where they will at last seal Cassandra's wickedness? Will I be able to freely logout in town without the fear of experiencing lago'death next time I login?

PS: I don't even know if Cassandra is the problem. I'll take anything though.

Holy crap, I didn't even realize it. Perhaps this is their solution to getting rid of town lag in towns based on their survey?

I believe so yeah, JMS had a similar event map with all the event NPCs on one map rather than spread out in towns.

Cassandra and Gaga have pink mini map icons don't they? There's only one in that map and it's Maple Admin.
