There are some interesting things in here, so I'm posting it here to discuss.
[16:06] <hime> We have three producers with us today from the Maple team!
[16:06] <hime> Please say hi guys!
[16:07] <NX_Eurydice> Hello everyone! We are very happy to be here to answer as many questions as possible!
[16:07] <NX_Foxtrot> Herro, guys. And ditto!
[16:07] <NX_Waltzing> Hiya, I hope we all have fun!
[16:07] <hime> ^ ^
[16:07] <hime> I know many of you have questions regarding other things but this is not the appropriate place or time to address them.
[16:08] <hime> So please stick with questions regarding Age of Battle.
[16:08] <hime> To send us your questions please private message me or Sabina!
[16:09] <hime> Oh this just in! We will also be taking questions about Golden Temple and the new world, Nova!
[16:09] <NX_Eurydice> First question is: <IhaveAquestion> what is equipment explosion?
[16:10] <NX_Eurydice> Answer: We have made some changes to Golden Temple that have increased the drop rate for Timeless, Reverse, and Maple weapons from mobs in the temple.
[16:10] <NX_Eurydice> The drop rate will be higher than it has ever been for any mobs in Maple history!
[16:11] <NX_Foxtrot> Second question is: <AtsukoMaeda> And when is NOVA server coming out? I can't wait!
[16:11] <NX_Waltzing> Question: <AtsukoMaeda> About PVP, are there any balancing issues? Because I heard from KMS players dual bladers are unbalanced in the PVP aspect and its unbalanced for other jobs such as Evan, with a very low attacking speed.
[16:11] <NX_Foxtrot> Answer for the second question: With the Age of Battle update! Woohoo!
[16:12] <NX_Waltzing> Answer: We are actually receiving an updated version of PvP than what was first released in KMS. Our version includes balance updates that came out after PvP's initial release.
[16:13] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <Jeremiah917> Dear Nexon i would like to know if this new pvp intergrated system will ensure LEVEL BRACKET SYSTEM so that level 75 players are not going up against level 155 etc.
[16:13] <NX_Eurydice> Answer: Yes, the system is broken up based on level.
16:14] <NX_Waltzing> Question: <ToaArrol> I noticed that Gallant Emblemrs are tools that are used in the making of Shoulderpads and etc. Will there be alternative ways in getting Gallant Emblems?
[16:14] <NX_Waltzing> Answer: The only way to get Gallant Emblems at this time is to trade in Battle Points from PvP.

[16:27] <NX_Waltzing> Question: <Crusad3r> What rewards will PvP give?
[16:27] <NX_Waltzing> Answer: You earn Battle Points, which cant be exchanged for Gallant Emblems. These can then be traded in for various accessories, scrolls, and recipes, or used when crafting some items.
[16:28] <NX_Eurydice> Question: Are there any restrictions on when and how often you can PvP?
[16:28] <NX_Eurydice> Answer: No, you can particiapte in PvP as much as you want 24 hours a day.

[16:30] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <Raydose> Is there a ranking system for PvP? If not are there plans to make one in the future?

[16:33] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <Medaka> can you chose who you pvp against?
[16:34] <NX_Eurydice> Answer: For now, the only way to choose who you play PvP with is to play on the same team.
[16:34] <NX_Waltzing> Question: <AtsukoMaeda> Will Nova have extended Bandana and the chaos warrior challenge event? Because it would be unfair for he Nova players compared to the Chaos server players.

[16:35] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <Loupest> will you guys ever implement exclusive PvP rewards like mounts etc?

[16:37] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <BlueJewel202> Will the PvP system help your traits, as well? And will Traits bonuses be applied to PvP?

[16:44] <hime> (Hey newcomers, we will post the log of the chat after but if you have any questions please Private Message me or Sabina!)
[16:44] <NX_Eurydice> Answer: Your equipment will have an impact, players invest a lot of time into getting great gear and that will still be important, however, to ensure that PvP is fun for as many people as possible, the impact of your equipment will not be overwhelming. If can help, but a better player in slightly lower gear will still win most of the time.
[16:45] <NX_Waltzing> Question: <PervyLion> Who do you think will be the best and popular character for PVP?
[16:45] <NX_Waltzing> Answer: There are lots of player opinions on this as well as differing opinions on the Maple Team. What we've found is that there is no single answer to this, due to differing levels of skill and styles of play.
[16:45] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <HexedBehold> Will there be NX items related to PvP such as buffs or bonus exp / emblems?
[16:46] <NX_Eurydice> Answer: No, we will not be releasing any PvP items in the Cash Shop at this time. This could change in the future, but right now we have no plans to release any NX items related to PvP.
[16:47] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <Rayquaza2233> How much BP do you get on average per match, and how much is a Gallant Emblem?

[16:51] <NX_Waltzing> Question: <Toast> Will cygnus characters be able to use their level 100 and 110 skills in Gladiator PvP, or will they have to wait till Vetran PvP to use those?
[16:51] <NX_Waltzing> Answer: Yes, since those are 3rd job skills.
[16:53] <NX_Waltzing> Question: <Ascendance> Will PvP be better than LKC in terms of EXP gain for level 120+ players?
[16:53] <NX_Waltzing> Answer: It depends on how well you perform in PvP and in LKC!
[16:54] <NX_Eurydice> Question: <Loupest> Which Battle mode do you guys prefer? Including Ice knight
