Time to find those 2-3 accs that I made years ago and sell those vanities for gold $$$$$

Really STS Amazed this time, great job (who cares for - I got this 6 years ago , discont. now can't show off day and night on cs)

There's some freaky damage stats but than global pvp DMG nerf and staff and 2h swords also getting same, cool, rest is after test.

Well done.

Cinco, why the hell angel mages has 0 dodge? If they had 20 dodge and you took 50% of it, it should be 10? Answer please without trolling

More info on The Engineer:

Farm bosses in the endgame content. Bosses in the Return of the Overlord content have a chance (though pretty slight) to spawn 'The Engineer.'

When he spawns, you'll see him as such:
158095

Talk to him to bring up a list of items that he'll help you craft:
158096

STRAX, INTEX and DEREX items require a similar item from the older super-Elites group and one lesser (but again similar) item:
158097


The guy is rare and his appearance is random... so keep after it!

I guess you could say he's " GIVING IT ALL AWAY "
But on a different note, god damn this is a big update, AND THERES A PLAT SALE, I was having nightmares before but this is indeed what pure madness looks like.

So after playing a bit I think I like the update :D

I don't PvP so the dodge nerf isn't a huge deal for me sure I don't like that my pure mage has low hit percentage now and doesn't dodge at all but then I can use 3 piece dragon ring on all toons and that brings all sorts of stats plus sparkles but more hit% through int would be much appreciated ;)

I don't care that people can sell stuff now if they want it's their decision if they want to keep or sell the CoP they were working hard for. All that talk about exclusivity I mean it's pixels and this is way is better than re-releasing it

What I like best is that the update draws players back and that is something we all like I think

Few months ago, there would only be one balefort castle town filled up.

Now there are 5-6 :)

I think being able to sell everything really contributed to this. While I can see why the veterans of this game (like Sue) would not appreciate this, I can appreciate the extra gold that I receive from hoarding vanities.

What a loco update!
All items stashable and tradable.

I understand the decision behind all this, to eliminate account buyers.

It does however, make those who spend money on plat, and the time and effort playing the game for all those years feel insignificant now earning all those exclusive items.

Cinco can you make another loco update and include all the high end items purchasable with plat? This way the black market is totally killed off selling items for real life money.

Items like:
Humaina face
Founders helm
Black dragon sets
Crown of persistance
Nuri shield
Mantel of humaina
Fossilized dragon egg
Elite Marlin Sword
Elite Wave Twister
Elite fire axe of the dragon
Dragonet's elite fire xbow
Dragon's breath elite staff

Again thank you for this update, making new sets craftable with 2x the speed, changes in stats for pvp, plat sale and listening to the players.

We love that you care.

Completely agree lol. I don't want to lose my og even more. Fair enough some pros and cons with the update but then making them plat purchasable is going to far imo.
