Some highlights.

Let's see what will changes if Fantastic Theme Park available. I hope Malaysia's Targa and Scar will still be available....

I've been wondering about that myself.

Well, since the downtime is 12 hours tomorrow, might as well start the new thread 2mr.
Problem is, i didn't get the screenshots due to connection problems.
Should I start the thread tomorrow? (also about MSEA btw)

Since it's related to MSEA, why not just post it here?

you may find yourself fighting a weaker version of Targa
and Scarlion.

Oh wait, there should still be scar and targa at Malaysia. The one at ludi is as quoted.
I wonder about the ludi scar hat's stats though. Better or worse than original scar helm?

▪ All the bosses have been revamped and their difficulty has been slightly increased.

I'm interested to know their definition of 'Slightly'. And oops, time to go try and get that 'Star Maker' medal for my Phantom. Also:

Tough luck for everyone hoping for that attack speed increase unless they changed something. It does make me slightly glad that I didn't try to get my third line by beating myself up doing Aswan but wow, way to go.

If they're using 63 b I'll be going out tomorrow to get popcorn to munch as I watch the inevitable complaints at the forums. And man, no Root Abyss tomorrow? I'd like to do something other than training mules too!

I'm pretty curious about the evolving system (or whatever it's called). From the pics, it seems like a good place to grind.
Anyone willing to explain how evo system works?

Gonna be one hell of a buggy patch.

Good, only if you have the right cores.

Cores drop from monsters in evolving world, or can be bought from the shop. Inputting the cores into the evolving world slots changes certain things about the evolving world dungeon, for example:
I could use a HPx5 core so that the enemies have more HP and give more EXP, I could also use a Monster Population +30% core to increase the spawn rate or a Party Exp +15% core to add party play. Then I could change cosmetic things about the dungeon by using a Monster Skin core, a Background core and a Background Music core.

Most people grind in Link 3 (one of the rooms inside the dungeon) because it has a ridiculously high spawn rate of flying enemies, and a machine in the middle which periodacally "Vacs" all enemies to one spot for a period of time. You can basically just stand there and kill all enemies that get pulled towards you, it's awesome and super quick levelling.

You can also make certain items drop like Level 110 weapons, or level 120 Necromancer weapons. Or 110 Pirate armour.
and lastly you can use certain cores to make bosses spawn, like Pianus, Manon, Griffey, Mihile, Oz, Hawkeye, Irena, Eckhart and Shadow Cygnus.

And how do I access it? Through the mirror?

Yep

Yep

Alright, thanks!
Now I finally have a place to grind after maxing all pqs!
But i have to wait a month for it to be released in MSEA..

Oh look, only about 22 more hours before all hell breaks loose! Time to go do stuff on my Phantom and bid goodbye to his supposed 'OP-ness' not that it matters since bosses apparently got buffed up to Unlimited standards and most squads struggle to even finish normal Cygnus.

I was planning to grind my phantom to 4th job, but due to the big nerf.. Oh well.

You still get extra 5% critical for level 120 though and he might be revamped later on in KMS.

which would take a while.

Well, if nothing else your character can still enjoy the increased critical rate first.
