2016 Q1 Announcement hype!

[kinzmet]

Lots of goodies coming down the pipe, some of the major beats include:

• Some strange type of Arcane creature has been sighted. I can neither confirm nor deny its existence, but I would expect things to become much clearer soon.
• We also have a new set of Arcane Weapons that will be introduced. These unique weapons were alluded to in the Winter Event, and are about to see the light of Arlor’s day.
• The Lovecrafting event will return in February, with a couple of twists including a very rare, craftable Arcane Backpack.
• Client 1.5 will release soon afterwards. This will be our biggest client release ever, with a ton of interesting tweaks/ fixes/ features such as:

- Skill Mastery that will allow you to further expand and customize your characters.
- A new type of item rarity: Set items!
- UI improvements that will better allow players to see just what could be inside those locked crates.
- Inventory improvements to address limited inventory space problems.
- A system to make Locked Crates more accessible to all players, even those without Plat.

This is news getting me hyped!

1. Arcane creature! Could be a new arcane pet, the Arcane Deary?
2. New set of Arcane Weapons! Wow just wow! I remember when the old arcane weapons came, they literaly destroyed the PvP balance. I hope it wouldn't be the case on these new weapons.
3. Lovecrafting event's Craftable Arcane Backpack, is this an arcane rarity vanity?
4. Client 1.5 will release

1. Skill Mastery, finaly! Skills that would make class diference! For example Rogues could could choose Dagger mastery or Bow mastery? Are these the skill mastery they would implement?
2. New type of item rarity, the Set items? So they would make item sets that when equipped gives bonuses? This is already in the game, but do they mean pairings? For example, if I don't complete the set I would still get bonus from paired items of that set like bonus of you equipped Armor and Helm.
3. To see just what could be inside those locked crates? Now this would address the long time problem of lock gambling?
4. A system to make Locked Crates more accessible to all players, even those without Plat. Best idea ever!

Most of the announced items here would definitely affect the AL economy, and our AL life will be rocked once again.
