PvP is good
The rest sucks IMO. Just like your last patch three rings..... LAST PATCH SUCKED!!!! Stop making what you currently have harder and add NEW fricken Content! Medium size jellies with range attack? wtf is wrong with you!

Jellies were a joke and
Jellies were a joke and little more than moving treasure boxes before the update, now they're a bit of a challenge. I was still able to kill the jelly king realtively easilly, despite wearing armor that doesn't have any piercing defence, but I had to go "back to basics" on blocking/striking etc, and not just wade in like I had been doing.

Are you kidding?
I love the jellies! They're a joy to fight :D. And I suppose having that new Dark thorn shield helps.

Keeping my hopes up.
My guess is King Tinkinzar, but who knows? This will mark a 4th boss so that each gate should have a boss one one of the teirs. Question is, does it stop there and move on to the core or keep going till every gate has 3 boss stratum? I'd be plenty happy with either for now.
I'll never forget that sudden CE patch or the blatant disregard for the mess that followed. I have to admit, though, things are looking up. New content and polishing of old stuff has been flowing in pretty steadily since then. I said that you'd have to do a LOT for me to give you another dime for crystal energy (and I meant it - haven't bought a drop since) but if there's anything you could do to change my mind, you're doing it. Keep up the good work, OOO, and keep making changes like these. For the players. Keep adding content and players will HAPPILY pay for the new stuff.
@LostTibe
I don't know what game you're playing . The Gloaming Wildwoods was fun, new, and refreshing (despite it being so easy) and the new items from it were great! I loved the change to the Jellies, too: The Royal Jelly Palace wasn't challenging enough for a T2 boss and I think the new stuff gave it the extra kick. If you wanted to complain about a patch you must have been asleep earlier -_-; I don't mind them slipping in silly Heat Amplifier-esque items if they remain OPTIONAL and come with actual new content. You have nothing to complain about.
@Acherpwn
I agree, I don't even use a gun but it seems kinda unbalanced lately. Also, I would LOVE to see Khorovod split into three good 5* swords. Maybe have each maintain the high damage but add a very small amount of specific damage, or turn the stun into a chance for a random status effect. Anything would be nice. ...Keep it slow though =O

I am impressed
I'm very impressed with how many updates this game gets, Really the best way to keep a audience is to provide updates coming for new content. By bringing new content you keep your players interested and Three Rings is certainly doing a great job of it. Great job folks! I am eager to see what you have for us this time.

This probably won't make me popular
I seriously hope they do *not* change the current UV system. UV's are the only thing in this game that are truly rare (except perhaps the may-be-mythical equips that people sometimes claim to have picked up, but *I've* never seen). I like that the best UV's only show up one in a million times, and if the odds improve, their value will drop.
To be perfectly honest, if I could easily find all the best UV's for the equipment I wanted, I'd probably have stopped playing by now. Everyone wants stuff to come easy to them, but if everything comes easy, where's the fun? We'll all just sit around in our perfect armor, asking if we want to trounce Vanaduke for the 1000'th time.

@Diggidy
People just want a fairer way to just at least be able to influence it so that you maybe have a higher rate of receiving a UV, not just have it handed to them.
Besides, the current UV system is broken, and the vast majority of UVs do -not- aid anyone much at all. In fact, some things even need you to be lucky enough to get a High or Very High to even see a noticeable difference.
It would be nice if they made it so if you get a UV, that it's actually -useful-. Get a common ''Low'', or even ''Medium''? Chances are you're not noticing any changes. In fact, Low's for anything aren't worth a single crown in my honest opinion, and anyone who buys them is a fool.

@Eshajori, @Nick, all
@Eshajori, @Nick, all developers and everyone thinking about King Tinkinzar.
Please, don't come with these ideas. Although I think it'd be boss (lame pun, I know), releasing King Tinkinzar as a boss so easily would be wasting a gold mine.
I shall explain myself: I'd love to fight against him... but I thought "well, we have defeated himmm... and nowww?". King Tinkinzar is an important character for the plot, since he's cited by some NPC whose name I can't recall. And he's a mechanical genius, isn't it? My idea is that fighting him in a mechanical suit/ship/put-your-option-here (like a Sonic vs Eggman fashioned way) would give him reusability.
BTW, since Lord Vanaduke isn't cited, and he's T3, making King Tinkinzar a T2 boss would be an offense.
What do ya all think?

The great thing about
The great thing about unbinding is that it will sell the equips I dont use anymore and make some profit out of em. Would be really neat
Edit: I really hope it'll cost massive of crowns instead of CE. It would boost the market alot
Tue, 06/14/2011 - 01:06
#72
Indeed
@Diggidy I agree, I don't see anything wrong with the system. Anyone calling it "unfair" is simply incorrect. The system is the same for everyone. Despite some variants being less useful, I have yet to have trouble selling any item with a UV for the inflated price of a normal one. I would be OK with some form of enchanting system later down the lines that worked similarly to Unique Variants, but I think those enhancements should remain separate and different from UVs. For instance: small health bonuses to armor or chances to inflict low status-effects to weapons.
@ILHedgehogs I think you should consider that just because The Strangers believe King Tinkinzar was a genius that created The Clockworks doesn't necessarily mean he actually did. As I recall, there is some disagreement over this fact even among the natives of the planet. Some don't think goblins have the capacity for something that complex. I won't be disappointed if it's him.

@Jaouad
Why would anyone buy
@Jaouad
Why would anyone buy your old equips for about twice the price they could make them? They could buy the recipes and the mats for a fraction of the price and upgrade an UV version themselves.

@LoneKnight
Good question,
@LoneKnight
Good question, but people still do that you know. Crafting a 4* and 5* requires owning the previous equips. So calculate. 2 star = 100 energy, 3 star = 200 energy and 4* = 400 energy.
It's gonna prevent them a lot of effort and loss for those filled with crowns :D
If they're going to implement it the way I think that is. I'm sure it won't be just a crown sink though because when the prices go up, unbinding becomes cheaper for those who sell the energy which wouldn't be cleverly designed.

Working on
Hate to be a bummer, but this is what they are working on in June, not what would be released in June.
Although, I'd be super happy to trounce the gremlin boss over the 4th of July weekend. :D

I would expect the content
I would expect the content some time this week, or next seeing as how their updated Twitter and Facebook posts state that the boss is basically finished already.
Probably just putting some finishing touches on it, as well as getting the rest of the content ready to go.

Hmm
Wait a sec... was just rereading that...
nick said "Expect lots of explosions!"
Does that mean there will be new bomber gear to use against the new boss? :D
I'll take something in Normal/Piercing or Normal/Shadow, that would be nice.

@olajdzija
I would love a 5* version of Khorovod. Did there used to be one?
And what exactly is your issue with the auction system that you feel needs fixing? I see nothing wrong with it... I craft items all the time, I'm not a re-seller and I get tons of profit.
EDIT: What timing. A moment ago for the first time ever I sorted by "Buy Price" and it didn't sort the items properly. Is this what you mean? I've used the Auction House many times and never witnessed this, is it a new problem or just a less-common occurrence?

GMs have a weapon that looks
GMs have a weapon that looks like it might be a 5* version of the Khorovod. Its charged attack has a lightning effect (but is not actually Shock-related). There are screenshots floating around somewhere...
It's not available to players. At least, not yet. (GMs also had the Crest of Almire before it was available to players, so presumably they get beta access to the coolest toys.)
...I hear they also have a deadly, deadly crowbar... I still don't know if that one was a joke.
Okay, there is no ETA, but could we at least know wich update is coming first? Or are all those new features coming at the same time? I would really like to see PvP before new bosses and stuff.
