Is the ring/achievement forever? Or not

The rewards for reaching Level 85 will remain in-place until we raise the Level Cap again :-)

This is great.

Loving the new maps.
Wished there was an option to host, invite and boot players from the new maps.

It is a shame gold loot is back to auto pick up. Now those who bot for pl gold will go back into their own locked games and run a program to farm for free gold, which is against STS terms of service.

I love that you do listen, and added the option of the new super-elite helms and armors to be purchased with plat.

Thank you STS for the continued hard work and adding new content.

Thank you, Cinco and company!! I'm speechless. )

[Bous]

cinco does the l85 derex set make a bonus with the ring you get for capping at level 85? or what set does that ring go with?

[Percense]

Is it possible to give banned players another chance? I mean banned permanently is pretty too much I think, I know we made a mistake but everyone ever does, and maybe we've learned from it... Please let us enjoy the game too as we used to do back in the days. <3

[Mess]

Ohhhh jeezzzz now that's something!!! ty cinco

[Ruby!!!]

Thanks for the new content and the valentine's vanities!
Maybe instead of a overachiever bonus just post the first 100 to make 85 here for eternal fame

The new maps are really fun! The added xp drops are a nice change from the norm...
I am rather disappointed in the armor buffs to intex.... 10 armor? Wow intex is so weak compared to other sets. Reducing the dps on blaster was a good start but that insane damage still comes with the skills.... an intex mage usually doesn't last until the second blaster shot anyway. Mage is the only class that has no dodge buff, so the armor really is needed.... a 1 hand weapon with an offhand shield should never have less armor then a 2 hand weapon of the same level.

Going through the Zone Rift is annoying difficult and i always ends up left behind by my group, i don't know why everytime i have to go thru rift i cannot go in, make it easy to access, 75 plat shadow hunter ain't cheap.

[TyHash]

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for all these updates. Game is so much more fun now and I have gotten back into it because of it.

[IdontReply]

Definitely nice update, but I expected derex blaster to be craftable in this update because all similar items are craftable except 2H weapons, I've like 30 Arzac blaster, guess what, I'm ruined.

[3pc]

Well same gear and same price as old ones so thanks i guess .

[MightyMicah]

The love being shown to PL is blowing me away. Thanks, guys! This is awesome. Particularly love seeing the balancing changes.
