Um...the game is down for at least another 2 hours. No one has tried the quest yet.

Re: Will this new patch make the game easier to play

if i'm reading the patch note carefully, it seems that se is implying that those items will no longer be dropped by the nms that previously dropped them and that the originals will be placed elsewhere, such as a bcnm. they will now drop rare/ex versions of those items in their stead.

please correct me if i'm wrong, although it would be lovely if i were somewhat correct.

"The way that the following items are acquired has been changed:
Archer Ring, Leaping Boots, Emperor Hairpin, Peacock Charm
In addition, players may receive an EX/Rare or EX item with the same attributes from the monsters who previously dropped each of the above items."

well it may just be the way it was worded but seeing " in addition, players may recieve an exe/rare or exe item" kinda makes me think 1 of 3 things may drop, with the forth possibility that nothing will drop. but then again it may mean they moved those drops someplace else. or what i stated earlier. a possible 3 items now.

my beef is there was nothing wrong with camping lizzy or the emp. you had a huge pop area that a player in the right spot most likely got the claim. the problem is they are all lotto pops. with 12 players standing around doing nothing except scanning, an one player actually killing the placeholders. thats what i kinda thougth was always stupid.

Re: Will this new patch make the game easier to play

The way I read this patch message, the biggest improvement to the game, in order to make it less of a pain, is actually the bit about improved experience level range.

This *could* mean that one could have a wider spread of levels within a PT than we have today, where anything over a 3 level difference in a party pre-patch would mean crappy exp, I'm hoping that this experience tuning will allow this range to grow beyond that. The biggest issue would be to see how much exp you'd get from a tough and Very tough mob in a PT, as it is often the case that many party members choose to leave, or are regularly kicked just because they've levelled to a point where everyone's experience is gimped out.

If it is so, then, the game has become *far* more playable, as it'd be alot easier for everyone to get into a party imo.
