RED micro-site now out!

If I knew they'd implement the free advancement system I wouldn't have made one of each thief. orz

Well, since the rest of the stuff I posted about Sweetwater/Swingwater/Whirlpool stuff is in this thread, here's some stuff from some JMS Blogs. I fail at Japanese, so you should probably wait for an actual, good translator.

- Grosso Polpo (the kraken boss, probably Livyatan too) drops Sweetwater stuff.
-- These should be solo bosses, I don't think you can invite other people on to your ship.
- The blogger is a paly hitting 900ks with Blast and successfully kills it.
- He gets a Katara, it retains its boss damage and ignore DEF.
-- Unsure of drop rate on 160 stuff (?)

That boss sounds easy to kill, so weapons are gonna be cheap. I was hoping for something in between PB and Empress

If Tyrants truly do carry over the stats, then I just might switch over

The bosses aren't ridiculously overpowered and actually drop powerful equipment?
This is exactly what I was hoping for with Commerci. I can find my OWN powerful equipment, without needing to be funded out of the ass.

I hope there are different difficulties like gollux.

I hope this too, not for me personally but for people who like a challenge.

I think it would be really cool if the normal difficulty boss can drop a max of 1 Sweetwater equip per fight, but the max amount of drops increases by difficulty, so hard would drop 2 pieces and hell would drop 3. That would be a cool way to do it.

Treglow/Velderoth, but with a much better drop rate: yes please. I do NOT want to fight bosses on a ship 1000 times each taking 3 minutes or so just to get one equipment that might not even be for my job. Also, Treglow/Velderoth with difficulty scaling: good to cater to different people.

Every single piece is a common equipment though so no worries. (unless you get a weapon of course)

Any confirmation on whether stats from Sengoku equips can be transferred over?

It can't be confirmed yet. Grey said there aren't any error messages, so he assumes every level 140 / 150 equip can be traded (Correct me if I'm wrong, Grey).

Does JMS have Tyrants / Sengoku?

No, there specifically isn't an error message when a Tyrant equip is placed in the "Succession" UI. Yes, they have Tyrants, yes they have Sengoku equips, they're where Sengoku equips came form.

So, it's confirmed Tyrants can be traded in? Oh, Lord

Could always be an error message after they try to use it.

But I think its pretty near 75% sure that it can be used.

It wouldn't be worth switching if it couldn't be used, so i'm going to assume it can.

Sengoku on the other hand would actually beat out empress (but probably not fafnir). Finally a reason to ranmaru and craft his s'hit.

I'm still surprised we still dont have all the information on everything about them yet.

Two servers arlready got them. I know we don't have much ties with CMS but with JMS hving it I thought we would have hammered all the information from it already.

Or is it just we have too many people playing KMS and that is why we ripped apart anything new that comes to it?

Pretty sure the only person here who plays JMS at all and is still around is [MENTION=2150]Link[/MENTION];

Considering my range as a cannoneer (with passives maxed) since I switched is only 83k, I don't think I will be soloing these bosses anytime soon. :<

That's still like 3m per barrage after revamp, plus summons and DoT. With a few upgrades and a good weapon i think you'll be fine.

Stats get transfered to the new equipment?

1. Does that mean you require Empress/Tyrant/Abyss gear in order to get the new gear?
2. What's the point in getting the new gear if they use the stats of your old gear again? Better set bonuses?
3. Isn't this update supposed to be part of their new plan to make the game less pay2win? (Sounds like it from how easy the bosses apparently are to kill.) Getting Empress gear without cubing, cash shop, or friends that do either of the two is highly unlikely.

1. No, you can get the equipment but it would be clean and worse than 140 clean(iirc).
2. Yes somewhat better set bonus(not that big iirc).
3. The whole idea behind it is that you're able to upgrade your gear without having to recube to unique/legendary or get it back to 10 stars(not sure if scrolling gets transfered too).
