I was somewhere around the middle of page 86 in the Cognitive Dissonance thread when the drugs began to take hold.

only only only only only only
Last night I tried an experiment. I set up a buy shop with the name "The NPC Buys Talt for 5k" buying talt for 3k, and people sold me 22 talts. Today the shop will be named "NPCs buy talt for 5k, I will sell it to an NPC" and if people still sell me a lot of talt then I just do not know how to discourage people from giving me their silver. The shop is 1 screen length away from a vendor NPC in town.

I suppose next I will try naming an item "This is a scam" and then have the item description be "Dexterity +1000" and list it way overpriced and see if someone buys it.

Update: 15 talts purchased with the shop name "NPCs buy talt for 5k, I will sell it to an NPC." New shop name "Talt. This is a scam, NPC buys it for 5k."

rip ded game etc....

Also, they announced a 2 week extension on this beta period and 2x EXP from mob/boss kills starting now until the end. :siren:
Milk the dungeons for all their worth/use your cards in between, and you can check out classes pretty easily now.

With the double EXP event, its even more important now to get early access to the crystal mines to advance ASAP.
All you have to do is hoof it to the mining village when you land in east woods before you do the story quests there. This allows you to enter the crystal mines without having to clear the wagons off the bridge first. Once you advance, you can just take the teleport statues right back and resume. Otherwise you hit j15 like 2 minutes into east woods and have to kill a bunch of stuff while locked out of j-experience.

Actually I don't think wanting to grind levels makes you hardcore. It just makes you more intelligent that the masses that managed to dumb down an entire genre.

I honestly don't mind a maplestory-esque grind every once in a while. Pop open a beer, put on a podcast, and zone out for a bit. Great way to relax during the week.

Unless you are one of those "must get to max level asap" types. Then I can see how a grind would upset you.

I actually dislike the "hit max level immediately; grind gear perpetually" mechanic that virtually every mmorpg uses nowadays.

Grinding levels is good, and it's cool that your progress grinding levels is only cheapened when new content is released as opposed to made obsolete.

To the surprise of no one it looks like nexon is completely bungling the korean launch of the game. It was a surprise launch, with cash shop hairstyles costing 30 bucks, while the game still has a poo poo ton of bugs and issues

E- also the game has a vip mode that allows you to train an extra trait at a time, gives you extra move speed, and allows you to post 5 items in the auction house instead of thr default 1. Yowza!

Yet another violation of regulation 1910 subpart D.
That doesn't mean the changes made to the game's native version to support the publisher's demand won't have an affect on ours. We may very well be spared of that VIP nonsense, but launching monetization immediately to the detriment of whatever ongoing effort remains to fix bugs before launch isn't a great sign of what's to come for us.

From what I've been reading they've made a lot of good changes lately! I kinda want to buy a kNexon account and try it, (+ I'd get to try MS2!), is anyone else playing / does anyone else have a kNexon account?

Some of the changes include monsters dropping exp cards, easier dungeons that give more exp (and a dungeon party finder that gives your party bonuses, IDK how it compares to doing them with premade parties but it would certainly make it easier to get in groups with Koreans), lots of balance changes, especially to Archers (They're really swole now apparently), the ability to use any (almost, maybe???) skill while mounted, a few hidden classes (Army Chaplain, Shinobi, Runecaster), and more! They've also added trading back, but only for players who have subs (I'm pretty sure you can buy sub tokens on the AH) and only 30 times per 30-day period. Also you can't trade silver. Additionally, I read that they plan on adding account storage for players with subs sometime in the future.

One change that might be bad but I need more info on is the change they made to Item Awakening: Instead of giving a fixed stat based on the item, it gives random stats based on the item's rank and quality.
