Are These the New Arcane Weapons?

[Zeus]

The above picture depicts them.^^

Why I think this:

This is the delicate dance we do with information. You guys want to know
everything we are working on, in precise detail (which is completely
understandable).

The more detail we give, the more expectations are set. And when plans
inevitably change some folks get angry.

MMOs are amazingly fluid and iterative, and things change all the time.
One system affects the next affects the next. We can't in precise detail
know how things will be over the next few months, but we can plan. And
we want you to know those plans. But we also don't want to p%$$ you off
when things change.

So all that being said I'll give more detail about what I can.

Arcane Weapons - these are the ones that Remi showed back in December
but never made it out for the Winter Event.

Arcane Backpack - I believe current spec for this is a crafted vanity
(no slots).

New Cap? Yes, with the expansion. This will give us some much needed
headroom for more powerful items (we've been bumping up against max
power curve for awhile).

Timeframe: This is the trickiest of all. No matter what we say, no
matter what caveats are put in place, if we give a date we are held to
it. So I can't give precise dates, but I can tell you that I listed
things in our preferred order of release (at least for now, that could
change too).

Mysterious pet and Arcane weapons soonest. Lovecrafting obviously in
Feb. Client next, and very much affected by apple approval cycles.
Expansion (with level cap raise) thereafter.

Finally, all of this can and will change

Thanks for understanding why we can't be precise, and also thanks for
your passion for the game and desire to know more.

If they are, I think I can speak for most people that are secretly hoping the looks are changed, as they look nothing like the classy and great looks of the original arcane weapons. I hate to say it, but they look like legendary weapons. :/

On the bright side, I am glad that we do get new arcane weapons. My only complaint is that we only got 1-3 months of time with other mythic weapons.



Hope a developer can confirm!

Cheers,
