So they're saying that in the future they're going to let you make a reservation for something in the future?

I kind of want the Nuevo Coselete, but knowing S-E, they're going to make it WAR/PLD/DRK/BST/maybeDRG/ofcourseBLU only. I certainly wouldn't mind getting the Royal Redingote by any means, despite knowing it is inevitably going to be the "magey" piece . . .

I like the fact they are bringing the San d'Orian civil war and "Eastern San d'Oria" in to this. Good to know more about my nation's history.

Now that is interesting, and a pretty good way of dealing with 'X job gets no gear with this update.'

(That said, I doubt RDM gets anything with this update.)

Simple thought?!

I hope they allow for true customization finally, includeing and not limited to color customization. Kinda getting old seeing the same Armor design and color. and that comment addresses all aspects of "Customization."

I doubt the plate will be for Blu, they're probably going to go with the same layout as the Nyzul sets, Askar, Denali and Goliard.

Seeing as the colors of each armor are tied directly with the very meaning and relevance behind each piece, I doubt we can change it.

The armor customization is intriguing but I'm still going to wait a bit before buying this one.

As faulty as they are our dev team did explicitly state RDM was getting an update alongside WHM next month.


I'm kinda pissed though that they said they were releasing it in March (and came through on that it seems) but the content won't be available until the April update. Why the hell can't the content just be made active on the day it's released? (or would that just be too much extra work, lazy bastards)

It'll be interesting to see if one of the customize pieces is what job can wear it.

Gonna wait and see how this unfolds before buying, I'm still in the developing my character stage.

Challenge: I'd like you to go a week on DiV without making a post that's full of bitching.

"Faulty Dev team"
"and came through on that"
"Why the hell can't they make it active on the day its released."
"Lazy bastards"

You sound like a little spoiled and jaded kid.

The update is looking pretty hefty and there's new mission content to go on top of that. They probably figured it was best to set it up so they didn't have to take the servers down twice for two seperate updates. You would have bitched about them taking the servers down twice, so be grateful you can piggyback this new content on the next content update.

All that aside, this mini-expansion is looking interesting now. I like the customizeable armor type, I'm hoping BST can wear that heavy armor. I doubt the mage body would be worth much to my SCH. Light/Dark Arts effects are just too nice for their own good.
