Devil Wrote:Oh trust me, pirates = not this summer!

It's all Crimsonwood from now till September / October. Maybe pirates will come out in fall when they've been thouroughly tested in jMS first...

2 Mayor patches in 1 is too bug sensitive, and will take -way- too much time to implement correctly (2 days server check anyone? ).

Besides that, more new (even also high lvl player area's) > Pirates. If they would release pirates now, maybe 20% of the players would be enthousiastic because of new content for them, now with new area's for all lvls => everyone gets new content!

So yea, next (big) patch = Crimsonwood, Pirates are for later this year!

IsaacGS Wrote:Saying "nothing" is silly. We haven't gotten a Nothing patch since last November (and every November patch for Global's entire life span has added nothing.)

Anyway, if we're actually going to talk about what's left to add and what's left in the year, we have few decent choices. Magatia is great, but for whatever reason it's almost always held at bay. Elin Forest has crept into our data, and with the recent changes to it Pirates are no longer a prerequisite. then again, there's also no quests in Elin at all so all it really is are a few new 4x and 5x monsters. Iron Mutae and Roids in Magatia are probably way better for this training period anyway. Time Temple's still too new to really be on the table.

No need to even really talk about pirates in detail since everyone thinks they know all about them.

And then, we're left with world tour areas, which I have come to despise for their overall uselessness. Thailand's Floating Market, a veritable junk-filled swamp, Taiwan's Formosa, which has its' only real saving grace in the form of a "Maybe, one day..." town, and China's Shanghai which is probably the single worst town ever invented.

So, what's really left, then?

Magatia - Finish up Ossyria/Nihal, Get the Black Magician storyline rolling
Elin Forest - The second step of Black magician storyline, references pirates however they're not required
Nautilus Port - Pirate Job, more Black Magician Storyline. Generally considered a huge update. Can come before or after Magatia
Shanghai - excuse me while I vomit. >_>
Formosa - After you beat Snack Bar, you probably won't come back. I hear the quests are frustratingly difficult as well.
Floating Market - lol only good training spot is for 1x.

So there you have it. 6 areas: 3 good, 3 bad. from now to the end of the year, we've got probably 5 content patches left. We all also know how much Nexon likes storylines and getting Magatia out there definitely sets the base for further additions to both Masteria and Ossyria. We also know they've got something special planned for this halloween, which we can only hope will equal or surpass last year's amazing event (though how they might do this I have no idea.)

So, personally, I think it'll be something more like this:

Late August - Magatia, no PQ (who expected Mu Lung/Herb Town/Pine Forest after NLC?)
Mid September - Area Bosses + Magatia PQ
Early October - Whatever amazing Halloween event they have planned
Early November - Probably just dumb turkeys as usual. Maybe a crappy world tour area, who cares which one...
Early Decemeber - Maplemas vs. Versalmas again, probably with some new twists. our happyville was changed from the CMS version to the KMS version, no way to know if this will stick. Perhaps more Area Bosses will be released.

Berzerk Wrote:I have a Feeling we might get Krakia for November. I mean, we got hints of it last year during the events. It's been a year, they should release something related to it. Also, I always think we could get Coke Town for December, seems like a perfect addition for that time. Anyways, we're still due something for this month. We got a patch the 8th, but that wasn't content. They fixed something from the last patch. So, lets hope we get Crimsonwood Keep, I don't feel like waiting until August.

Berzerk Wrote:Why do you think that? I guess I'm just open minded. To me, it doesn't seem like striking a deal with Coca Cola isn't that hard. :3 And plus, don't we already have some data otherwise? Just a thought, but couldn't it be illegal to add the data if something already wasn't planned? O.o

Rayquaza2233 Wrote:^

Okay, now that that's out of the way. Couldn't it be possible the Taru dudes moved to another city because they got driven out of Krakia?

IsaacGS Wrote:Every version has the data, and they've always had the data. It comes and goes. JMS got a more advanced version of Coke Town than KMS, but they removed it after only 1 month.

Why on earth would it be illegal to have the data passively sitting there? For one, we're not really supposed to be able to see it. It's kinda like free advertising just for us knowing it exists.

For that matter why would anyone even care if coke town came out? It sucks for training, almost all the quests require you to actually buy coke to complete them... It looks ok, but honestly you might go there once or twice but in the end it's about as useful as Florina Beach. People forget it exists.

Berzerk Wrote:You have to admit there are some really freaking weird laws out there. I'm not sure, but like I said I'm extremely open minded for anything to happen. I mean, it may suck but it would still be a pretty cool town to have, no?

Rayquaza2233 Wrote:But what evidence do we have ruling out the idea they fled and founded their own city? Maybe Vineland, it sounds like it's high up, so they could stay out of reach of Krakians there.

IsaacGS Wrote:Krakians are some sort of nonhuman things, and we also know that they're cyborgs from the Thanskgiving event, however that probably happened after the continent came up. I don't know, we can sit here and think up crazy reasons how they survived all day. We don't really know when Masteria arose once again, so like if it came out of the water a long time before NLC was opened then that would have given monsters time to migrate there before people.
