Halloween Event

Zombies, Ghouls, Mummies, Oh My! Halloween will be coming to Pocket Legends later this month. For those who experienced last year’s Halloween Event, you will recognize the spooky content, but with several new twists to keep it fresh and fun!


Mount Fang

Rumors of blood-drinkers and worse ride the winds of Alterra like witches astride their brooms! Mount Fang is indeed coming to Pocket Legends. This new adventure area will increase the level cap and present all new challenges to overcome! Beware things that go bump in the night :devilish:


We will be posting additional details over the coming days, leading up to the Halloween Event's release in the last week in October and Mount Fang following in November.

Because then it wouldn't be a perfect release time. Lol.

Why would people complain about new content... ;(

Swimmingstar

@Xantor I am pretty sure it will be gone.

@Lwmark I'm sure it's going to be 66 elite and 65 normal.

Rumors of blood-drinkers and worse ride the winds of Alterra like witches astride their brooms! Mount Fang is indeed coming to Pocket Legends, just in time for the Halloween spooky season. This new adventure area will increase the level cap and present all new challenges to overcome! Beware things that go bump in the night :devilish:


Wow.... Idk what to say besides yay!

I'm pretty sure I'm ready.... Let's see?
3 COP's..............................check!
3 SOH's..............................check!
3 lvl 61's............................check!
Farmers for every 5 lvls.......check!
Restocked plat.....................check!

OK... Im ready PL! Bring it on!

Note:
can we please have more then 2mths to hit next lvl cap of 66?? I would love to continue leveling 1 of each class to max lvl but really don't see that happening if time frames between expansions remain so short.

I also won't use elixirs at all, but I now on take this as challenge to get on 61 before mt. Fang is around. Will be tough but I like challenges.

On topic: looks nice updates coming can't wait for Halloween and as necro said, please don't bring pumpkin helm back. It's something unique and whole identity of necro would crush in one update.

Oh no necro :(

And if they bump the level cap this fast, I will quit. I haven't had any money for platinum. I mean, 6-7 months for a update from Sewer-to-Nuri. And Nuri's is out for what 2 months and a cap bump. I will rage.

2. Having to level up to 61 with no time at my disposal - 'dislike' :-( dislike a lot!

GLACK!

Even some elixir users won't make it. Seriously too soon.

is there no way that ppl who are already 1/3 of the way to 61 can choose to lvl the 100k xp and still get the nurd shield cuz i know i won't get to lvl 61 until the end of october and its not fair if u lvled half way and then get a new lvl cap
especially because it was this fast :(

im4broke
10-12-2011, 05:06 PM
Just how exactly does the vanity bonus work? Do you have to have them in sequence? At least two of any persistence item? Does the COP and the next Mt. Fang vanity (without the shield) make a bonus?

JaytB
10-12-2011, 05:11 PM
I'm happy that there's new stuff coming. But I have to agree with some comments here. 2 months and we're looking at a new level cap already? As tank said in the comments, if the next cap will be raised so soon, how on earth will we be able to level more than 1 toon to 66? Even with 4x elix I'm only almost done with my 3 toons.

Anyway, looking forward to it nonetheless :)

Really glad to see the more frequent campaign releases! New content is a great thing as far as I'm concerned.

With level cap raises coming more frequently, are there any plans to revise the XP curve for the non-elite levels? For casual players it's already a heck of a grind even to 60, and I shudder to think what it's going to be like to the next cap if the same formula is left in place. Never thought I'd end up being a casual player but life changes and here I am - but I'd like to continue playing with my friends and experiencing the new content. I'll make sure to reach 58 before the next cap but I wonder what it's going to be like for the cap after that. The hardcore can have their shields and crowns and all but please keep the new areas accessible to casuals as well. Casuals too like to see new maps and have fun with the new content, instead of being stuck in the same area forever.

Hmm....What about for the people who dont have the crown of persistance will there be another chance of getting it?:onthego:

Its assumed that since there are only 2 vanity slots and the COP is the oldest that the new elite vanity will be another crown :) I personally am hoping that we will get vanity armor or weapons to add onto the current sets. So each vanity pcs would add to the over all bonus!
Ie:
2 vanity pieces would add 5 dodge & 10 armor
3 vanity pieces would add 5 hit, 5 dodge & 10 armor
4 vanity pieces would add 5 hit, 5 crit, 5 dodge & 10 armor

Or something to that effect :)

10-12-2011, 06:02 PM
Just want to throw it out there...

I felt like we waited a long time (perhaps a bit too long) for Nuri's, and the level cap increase. I think that people are still working on levelling and the game hasn't plateaued for most people yet. I think raising the cap this soon, especially if these halloween maps are coming (meaning people might be more interested in playing this than levelling their toons) that there should be more time before the level cap increases.

I can understand that as a business, I am sure the massive amounts of elixirs being purchased when the cap increased was nice, and that you want to sustain and foster the growth that kind of revenue provides, but I think it's going to greatly change the perspective of many players... making it seem like the only way to really operate at a high level in the game is to spend a lot of money on platinum.

I would embrace the new content, and I already have a character at the level cap, but this change would seriously change how I think about the game, and whether I would continue to spend on platinum. I, along with many others spent a lot of plat levelling and enjoying the new content. I kind of feel like I would be very hesitant to spend more on plat to hit the cap, only to have it increase again in a short period.

I know it's a bit of a rant, but I think many players feel the same way. A later release or perhaps making it an elite campaign seemed to be the consensus prior to the news that this was coming so soon, and most people were happy with that idea.

I guess this is just frustrating, and would be even more frustrating to those who still haven't hit the cap in the Nuri's campaign.

Wat i want to know is this about the new lv cap. When it comes out, say u have 50k/109k xp, how will it distribute to the lv cap. I mean like do u get to lv 61 for free once lv cap or...? I said that because when lv cap came out for 56-61, getting to lv56 used to be 80k xp, it then becomes like 7k xp. So ya, once lv cap come out, will all that 50k xp be a waste and u start from 0xp/ lv61 new,lower xp amount????? VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION, cuz if that happens, and all that 50k xp goes to waste, not just me but many ppl will quit. I dont mean any disrespect or anything. Just something for the PL makers to really consider. SO plz reply Samhayne. :(

What happened before, and would happen again, they would adjust the XP so it only takes the normal amount (instead of 100k it would be 10k, and they would scale your XP to match.

So you'd by 5k/10k instead of 50/100k. You still be 60.

Also the fact that people want to quit because Halloween items are coming back for HALLOWEEN is laughable :lol:

edsonee
10-12-2011, 06:52 PM
well if that happens... i might as well quit cuz it wasted my time getting those 50k xp with some plat pots and then lose all that xp when lv caps comes again. Just hope it guys would consider about delaying lv cap til like next year not this soon. Like the other lv cap which took around 1 year i think? Nuri only came out for like around 4-5 months and already new lv cap? I, for one is trying to get nuri shield but cant cuz lv cap too soon. Maybe should extend new lv cap coming out til later next year and just make mt fang like a campaign that needs to be bought with plat just like shadow caves, croc feud, frozen nightmares, sand caves, etc.

Cool new level cap! Too bad I'm not even past lv 35 -.- and even though I wasn't there for the old pumpkin heads, I still think thy shouldn't be released this year, sure they look cool and all but it also represents how long the players have been playing the game. So in my opinion, just come up with different looking pumpkin heads, ones that look way better than the old ones. And like I said, adding the new level cap is great. It gives me a longer adventure even though I buy and sell lol. It will keep things fun for me and for those who are sad by it because they spent millions of gold and some real money for it, it teaches some to use your money wisely. it's still a casual game and like some PL players, don't take the new content way too seriously.
I edited it :P

WHAT!!! New cap, no more shield and no more crown ??? A BIG "NO" !!! It is totally unacceptable. PL and SL were claimed to be a "CASUAL" MMORPG. It is not CASUAL now. Forcing reach cap in a short time = Forcing me chose between PL and SL + Forcing me use SINGLE character only. It is really demotivate me to cont. play. I play PL and SL because they are fun and more important thing is ... they are CASUAL. I want fun not a virtual JOB.

Pls reconsider your decision.

nuris barely been out and they just released the demonic sets
whats the point when a new level cap is already coming in such a short time?
Only people with elixirs can actually level up multiple toons
i srsly wanted to be able to get the shield but now im srsly thinking about not even trying
wats the point of a game if i have to constantly pay 50$ to enjoy it for a few months and then pay again?
and also the items from last year's event were supposed to be exclusive and its what discerned the veterans from the newbies
Pls Pls Pls
Make the new campaign an elite dungeon

My apologies, but this has to be the most saddening thread I've ever read. Cap raise? Already? Nuri has hardly been out for a month. I feel cheated. I buy elixirs to get to 61, then shortly after I hit it, I hear a new campaign is coming out, encouraging me to buy even more plat to hit the cap. I'm already losing millions on this announcement. I doubt I'll buy gear after this raise comes, since I can't trust that the devs won't raise the cap again quickly. Having a new cap every month was nice back when levels required a few hundred XP to level up, and cs wasn't around so there was little farming to sell. But when the elite cap, which rewards an exclusive vanity and an awesome bonus if you have the COP, requires over 100K XP, it's too much of a rush. What about people that can't afford elixirs? They don't even get a shot at 61? I'm really disappointed to hear this.

Also, I see a pumpkin helm and candy bag in the screenshot, there goes the exclusiveness of those 2 items. Asommers said in town that it'd come out with all new items, so I assumed the old ones wouldn't be in it. That was a huge releif for me, but seeing that helm in the screenshot is really bothersome. Guess the only way to determine an old player now is if they have a Founder's helm. I'm extremely disappointed with this news.

Ahhhhh me too.... I'm a lvl 60 though with 20k xp, but join some friends use a $2000 1.5 xp elix and then it's fun and a breeze to level up ;)

I think a great answer for the highly sought after percistance items is simple. Sell or allow peopple to upgrade to "elite" characters.. imagen if people could still grind out 84k xp in sewers and in a month continue to grind out nuri for the sheild. I think it is bad to leave new comers out of these exclusive items - I want these more than the best sets.

I also am sort of an elixir free type and I also have three high lvls with three helm of p.

I assume if there is a percistance item for lvl 66 then they will have a new form of vanity..

When you think about it how long nuri has been out so far and how long until next level cap rise, it's more than possible to get 100k xp using no elixers. Even if u have a busy life lol. Anyway nothing stops u using free daily elixer or running in full party gets u bonus xp.
So yeah very possible (Maybe not for 3 or more characters though).
Anyway Cant wait for mount fang, faster updates are better, lets not wait as long as we did for the nuri to come out, the game gets really boring if you have the same old for so long.

Sorry about this next bit buts its ture...

My rational thoughts about this.

Halloween update, great!


Mount Fang-Not so great. I had feared that the Omnipotence Crown was just the beginning, but stressing players out to make deadlines is not the way to keep loyal platinum buying customers, IMO. I do not mean any disrespect, but even with platinum elixirs, I was barely able to make it to the 61 cap when this deadline was announced. Mount Fang honestly should have either been released with Nuri's Hallow as previously promised or delayed for a good 4-5 months. This is just pushing it. I realize the influx in sales was good, but if you push us, it's not going to make platinum purchases increase.

Agreed. People buy plat to level up. If they spend, let's say, 50 bucks every 4-6 months to level up, they don't have a problem. But if devs encourage them to buy 50 plat every month, that's not happening. I'm really dissaoointed in this. Nuri was an awesome campaign, with awesome black and red crafted gear, nice and fairly balanced sets (at least, IMO) and it had lots of fun bosses (especially snake charmer!) Now, it's just gonna be an old campaign, that people hardly got to enjoy. I was looking forward to farming it more, and seeing what new items would be added (since the devs said they would). But this totally flushes the whole campaign down the drown, along with many millions of gold people wasted.

Well to lighten up the mood at least moogerfooger didn't start this flame war lol! Jk. I think we should have at least six months for every level cap b4 the next one. That would give every person two months to get three characters to 61 and since there are 3 classes, it makes perfect sense. And with the Halloween items. STS always finds a way to make everyone (or at least 90%) of players happy. But STS bringing back the Halloween items would be like bringing back the COP or The SOH when the cap is 71. It is a VERY bad idea and would make people more flamey than Kanye West's Ego. STS, Do not change the cap when mt. fang comes out. Make it a 60-61 elite dungeon or stuff of that sorts but do not raise the cap. Don't go to fast, you have years, to do stuff. 2012 isn't going to happen. Chill STS. Chill. And people calm down, STS gots this Shiz locked down. They wouldn't do anything stupid, if they did it would make me LSHIFOMDJKIDNHADBIIDIWNHG.

The announcement of raising the level cap by the end of October is both disappointing and frustrating.

As a matter of principle, I try to hit level caps without hp elixirs (neither the plat-bought nor the gold-bought ones). I did it to 56 and am about 1/2 way to 61, but due to real life obligations it looks like I won't hit 61 in time and still remain hp elixir free...

Ultimately it's STS' decision, but I feel most of us would be happy with Holloween and Christmas contents this year, and Mount Fang and level cap raise sometime next year -- gives us more time to hit level cap and enjoy our glyph sets before the next mad rush begins.

Well, it seemed like i believe someone has been asked by the Dev has he enjoyed Nuri. At that point of time , it seemed like it's already a clue that the new map will be out soon. ( my apology as i cant rmb the players name as i have seen it in the forum , the player seemed to be a GOA. )

However , on a side note, new contents are always good to the players . the matter is how fast or how slow is the release. I am sure many of us or at least me are still looking forward to farming alot more in nuri and experience longer gameplay in Nuri.

Look at the market now , the prices are not even stabilised. I am defintely sure many people are selling their glyph or demonic gears once this news is up. I would say this is not even a good news for people who grind their way up , hunting crafting materials and making their demonic set or even just their glyph sets.

As for exlier users , i may not be part of them but i do feel in such a way , grats to those who make it to 61 with 4x exlier . What about those who are halfway or perhaps 80%? Would this be a waste of their plat trying to get to lv 61 and getting the vanity shield and now the new map is coming.

Pardon me for my grammers and vocab as i am just voicing out how i really feel towards the recent changes.

Thanks all!

My apologies, but this has to be the most saddening thread I've ever read. Cap raise? Already? Nuri has hardly been out for a month. I feel cheated. I buy elixirs to get to 61, then shortly after I hit it, I hear a new campaign is coming out, encouraging me to buy even more plat to hit the cap. I'm already losing millions on this announcement. I doubt I'll buy gear after this raise comes, since I can't trust that the devs won't raise the cap again quickly. Having a new cap every month was nice back when levels required a few hundred XP to level up, and cs wasn't around so there was little farming to sell. But when the elite cap, which rewards an exclusive vanity and an awesome bonus if you have the COP, requires over 100K XP, it's too much of a rush. What about people that can't afford elixirs? They don't even get a shot at 61? I'm really disappointed to hear this.

Also, I see a pumpkin helm and candy bag in the screenshot, there goes the exclusiveness of those 2 items. Asommers said in town that it'd come out with all new items, so I assumed the old ones wouldn't be in it. That was a huge releif for me, but seeing that helm in the screenshot is really bothersome. Guess the only way to determine an old player now is if they have a Founder's helm. I'm extremely disappointed with this news.
Can't agree more with it being too soon to raise the level cap. As I find the idea of using elixirs to hit the elite cap undermines the meaning of the word persistence. Perhaps it's time to reconsider how I spend my down time. I was already a little disappointed with only getting a week of SL before nuri came out (iOS). Now this....not exactly feeling casual

ummmm actually no you cant get to 61 without elixirs and a busy life
you have to be an addict to actually get to 61 without elixirs
if you dont believe, try getting to 61 while playing under 2 hours everyday
and as for the halloween items its something special cuz the people who bought it
chose to during a time when few people actually wanted to use plat and gives
them some uniqueness that other players dont have

I see a major problem with that in the sense that players are now forced to use plat elixirs in order to complete something that is pretty much exclusive to those who are willing to dump plat on consumable items. There is nothing but hate here except those who are happy about the release and willing to forsake the losses in exchange for new content. It probably would have been more acceptable to just have made the Shield of the Hallows a plat purchase; since that is basically what a rushed update makes it, but I really hope that we are all just reading into things a bit too much since I didn't actually see a suggested launch date but more like wetting the pallet for moar. At the very least I hope that STS wil reconsider after all is said and done since I'd like to get my hands on the first vanity set, but am not going to log the massive amount of plat free hours that are necessary, nor am I going to reverse my decision to not purchase a temporary buff with my real life gold.

Quite true as players now are more prone to getting the 4x pots if they would want to have a shot at 61 and get the Vanity shield.

We always enjoy the updates. However , it's a matter of timing. Even without Plat , at least let us players who do not use exlixir to have a shot at lv 61. After all , this map has just been out for 2 months. I personally feel we have not farmed quite enough nor enjoyed it as much as we would in another 2 months time. People spend golds and time hunting and farming for their sets and barely have enough time to actually use their sets to farm and enjoy games with their friends or PUGs.

Just my 2 cents.

I think at this point mt fang will come out by the end of this month no matter how many people complain. They already announced it and said the shield of hallows will go away by then as well.

Changing the release time to later will just induce a whole new set of complainers that are spending plat on elixirs right now to get to 61 by the end of October.

Lets just look forward to the coming developments!

In the area of not vanity items please release new sets and not the old, as they are like antiques. New players are not excluded as they may buy them if they want, maybe this year release an armour and helm instead of weapons and shields last year. Thx

Halloween Event

Zombies, Ghouls, Mummies, Oh My! Halloween will be coming to Pocket Legends later this month. For those who experienced last year’s Halloween Event, you will recognize the spooky content, but with several new twists to keep it fresh and fun!


Mount Fang

Rumors of blood-drinkers and worse ride the winds of Alterra like witches astride their brooms! Mount Fang is indeed coming to Pocket Legends, just in time for the Halloween spooky season. This new adventure area will increase the level cap and present all new challenges to overcome! Beware things that go bump in the night :devilish:


We will be posting additional details over the coming days, leading up to the above new content’s release in the last week in October.

If you raise the level cap this soon I will seriously have to consider quiting this game. You have received well over $400 from me in the past 6 months, $180 of that in the past 2 months. I had two end game sets and 5 million in gold before the latest lvl cap. Now I currently have one Strongman set which isnt even the top set, and 400k. I spent the last 1400 plat on my account farming for drops to replenish my equipment for what? I've received one lvl 60 glyph drop during that time. You're telling me that now my already undervalued set is going to become worthless? You mean to say the only way anyone will be able to get to top lvl and get the top gear have to put so much money and time into this game that they go broke and lose any form of social life outside of PL? STS you are making a huge mistake and I will not keep pumping out money just so you can keep making my items obsolete. I truly hate grinding and farming but I do it because I love ctf/pvp. I do not love it enough to spend $180 on your game every 2 months.

I'll share some of my stats:
Ign: Gluttony
Join date: 2010/04/15
1 CoP
0 SoH
0 Platinum elixir purchases
1 Level 60 (23,950/100,590 xp)
1 month to get to 56
2 hours a day play time (average)

Edit: I'd still like to see a list of players that have achieved 61 without the use and any elixirs. I mean that should tell us if this is indeed still a casual mmo, if the cap increases before even one player can get the elite shield then the game has shifted more to a hardcore only crowd and I'm pretty sure I don't fit into that dynamic. I play PL on-the-go more than anything else, so my time is limited, it would be nice to know that spending money isn't a requirement to get the best the game has to offer. Most players who are currently enjoying the game to it's fullest are overflowing with plat:



3 COP's
3 SOH's
3 lvl 61's
Farmers for every 5 lvls
Restocked plat


There are even GoA members who are not 61 on their main simply because they enjoy a bit of pvp every now and again. I know that perhaps my stats don't speak in volumes but anyone who has been enjoying anything else that isn't PL Nuri grind related will miss out on a pretty sweet set bonus.

I'm not going to rage out too much mostly because I recall the hint at a cap increase was around for months before it actually happened last time; however this time it seem much more likely since Mt. Fang was supposed to be released simultaneously with this cap increase. I'm going to wait patiently but not going to fret over what I cannot control, I'll still log my usual hours and complete runs without boosting and see what happens.

I play this game to PvP, my PvE day's are far behind me. Each one of those 1.5 hour sessions ends only because I get bored out of my mind. Debating just playing on my twinks, they haven't changed much. It'll take me 5k xp/day to get 61, and then I look at how much I play. Can I really do that?

I too feel that the level cap raise is too soon this time around. My main is lvl 61, but it looks like i won't be able to bring up a second toon to 61 without using elixirs.

Totally agree.

The Devs clearly thinks that they're not earning enough money so they needa raise the cap once more hoping hardcore players would spend even more plat on elixir for around 1 mil exp in total from lvl 61-66 :/

I mean.. COME ON ! i spent days playing 8 hours a day sacraficing my time and alot of money on Elixirs to get to level 61 .. And for what !? For the level cap to raise in just ONE MONTH ?

People farmed really hard for equips and gold.. Now they will be worthless because of STS's greed.

I understand that games need money to operate but raising the lvl cap that fast is way too unneccesary.

"You can skin a sheep once or sheer it for a lifetime."

A lot of people who spent quit a bit of money on plat farming and leveling to achieve level 61 and craft their demonic sets are going to be extremely disappointed if this level cap increase goes in so suddenly. I was frankly shocked to see it announced as part of the Mt. Fang news, given that so many people are finally finishing their crafted sets around this time. They'll have a whole 2 more weeks to enjoy their gear before it becomes obsolete like the uber Custom Recurve set.

I've played a lot of MMO's in my life and have seen the damage that is done with level cap increases. It's a wonderful thing to provide new content and STS has done a great job of doing that. But what is the point of increase the level cap? Are their new skills that will be released? Does STS need to meet investors demands and sell more plat and pad their coffers? I've been an entrepreneur for many, many years and I have a strong sense of what is going on behind the scenes here. When you add everything up, it appears that the level cap play is primarily a financial move on STS' part. Notice the random inclusion of a 500 plat vanity helm recently?

Anyhow, I hope the cap increase is postponed for the sake of the people who make PL fun -- the players. I personally have talked to several people in my guild about this and some of the feedback is quite discouraging. Why drive long time loyal customers to quit over a little more platinum sales?

I see the cap raise as a Money grab. Spent plat to get my 2nd toon to 56. Just . .bought plat knowing mt fang was coming to pay for it. Guess it wont cost anything. But im not burnin hard erned cash to keep up with a casual mmo. . Sooo il leave the plat buying up to the few ppl eho will rush to keep ahead. As the game gets less populated :(

I see many players are stating that this move is about the money for STS, but I cannot follow that at all. I didn't really see a decline in elixir purchase before the announcement; however it’s staring me in the face now. I saw many toons at 61 who were still buying the best combo elix they could for faster farming in order to get the demonic set, so riding out that wave would have generated the most money imo. As it stands now, some will spend in order to hit the cap before it's too late, others are too upset/dejected/overwhelmed to make the grind, some are just plain too behind to even bother, and demonic crafting has all but stopped. Runs after the word got out were the first few where I wasn't booted for not having my stats artificially boosted, full teams of regular toons working together toward a common goal, no one running off and clearing an entire room while the peasants struggle to keep up. These times are a bit enjoyable currently but the sad reminder at the end is that I won't make that coveted "hardcore" status.

My two cents:

I'm looking forward to the new content. As I heard it was developed together with Nuri's Hallows - so I guess it basically has been ready to be release dsince two months. The decision to introduce a new level cap with Mt. Fang instead of releasing a level 60 Shadow Cave sounds logical from my naive business perspective. I think there is much more money to earn selling elixirs than selling bonus maps.
I also don't mind the imploding cs as I'm always broke anyway. ;)

But I find unfortunate that the early release will most likely make Nuri's Hallows to another xp grind wasteland after just two months. After the release of Nuri it was just "Haunted xp runs, skip mini". I guess that is what it will be from now on again.
With the introduction of crafting and the low blade steel drop rate I loved that for the last weeks most runs included all maps, all bosses and even all minis. And Nuri town was really busy some times so it seemed to be a possible new hang out spot. I really grew to like Nuri's Hallows.

Like many newer players only know the maps Plasma Pyramid (skip bosses) - CtK (rmk before aliens) - Hideout (only til cat), Nuri's will be "Haunted, rmk before boss". That is perfectly normal but too early imo.

But maybe Mt. Fang will prove me wrong and Nuri will still be a place worth spending time? Maybe you still need Glyph Blade Steel to craft your Vampire Plate of Awesomeness? Or you can combine a L60 Demonic helm and 100 ultra rare undead plate scraps for a L65 Helm? Lol I know that wont happen, just dreaming :)

So what I'm trying to say: I'm sure Mt. Fang will be great! (Vampires!!!) Too bad it will most likely make Nuri's Hallows another fly over state so early.

Well gluttony, my elixir free.characters are ruined lol.. but either way most games had people elixired.. so I think that partly takes away from the meaning.. unless of course your on leaderboard elicit free like decur.

Glad to hear the release if the upadte will be later than I anticipated... still wish the release was feb and not november... but then again im going to go back to archer class instead of all three.

Wow so many complaints!

Don't you guys think that the devs get hounded for level cap raises just as much as people are asking for bigger gaps?
This is a business they are running and with more people joining every day they can't be doing that bad!
Ok, so you spent money on plat to level so what happens if you are level 61 now? You wait around till new year because the other people wanna catch up? Hardly fair on the people that have grinded and been waiting for the level cap increase.
I think the devs do a great job and it must be extremely hard for them to get a happy medium. People asking for level cap raises then when they announce the raise everyone Wants more time!
I'm all for the updates to keep going, it would be nice if there was no level cap at all but who knows.
I'm all for the release and wanna say keep up the good work devs - you can't please everyone.

I think that a great Idea for the vanity of mount gang would be the ability to choose between a shield or helm so that if you only have one you could still get a nice bonus going. I realize that this may be in the wrong spot but I am having trouble creating a thread atm. :D thx for any opinions!

+1 , exactly how i feel.


Just want to throw it out there...

I felt like we waited a long time (perhaps a bit too long) for Nuri's, and the level cap increase. I think that people are still working on levelling and the game hasn't plateaued for most people yet. I think raising the cap this soon, especially if these halloween maps are coming (meaning people might be more interested in playing this than levelling their toons) that there should be more time before the level cap increases.

I can understand that as a business, I am sure the massive amounts of elixirs being purchased when the cap increased was nice, and that you want to sustain and foster the growth that kind of revenue provides, but I think it's going to greatly change the perspective of many players... making it seem like the only way to really operate at a high level in the game is to spend a lot of money on platinum.

I would embrace the new content, and I already have a character at the level cap, but this change would seriously change how I think about the game, and whether I would continue to spend on platinum. I, along with many others spent a lot of plat levelling and enjoying the new content. I kind of feel like I would be very hesitant to spend more on plat to hit the cap, only to have it increase again in a short period.

I know it's a bit of a rant, but I think many players feel the same way. A later release or perhaps making it an elite campaign seemed to be the consensus prior to the news that this was coming so soon, and most people were happy with that idea.

I guess this is just frustrating, and would be even more frustrating to those who still haven't hit the cap in the Nuri's campaign.

Thanks for the info!
I am very excited about the new content! Bring it on!!

For all those worried about getting your alts up to the level cap... Really?
I can see the point of view of the more casual players, but then again, as casual players, you/we aren't really 'hardcore', and thus the special vanity should be something very hard to attain. It should be hard in general....
I consider myself somewhere in between hardcore and casual, and frankly would rather play other maps or bring other characters to 60 than get to 61.
I think releasing the maps sooner will actually be good for game dynamic... It will spread out the people playing more, and and will cut back on xp only type runs, which plagued the sewers because the wait was far too long. I think it will encourage teamwork and playing through the maps.
Most of all, I am ready for some Mt. Fang! Please don't delay too long, there will be naysayers if you release, and also if you don't!

Sam, with respect, I don't exactly think it would be that great if the pumpkin head were brought back. Although I do think that the vanity is uber awesome and I want one too, I would've expected a brand new vanity coming up, like a bat antler hat. But just something new and creative! Maybe as an addition to the pumpkin helm, you could make a pumpkin costume. That way, if a player who already had the hat who is wearing it and has a costume might get a set bonus! Much like the Crown of Persistence and Shield of Hallows thingamajig.

Wow wow wee! Just keep up the good work what you think is the best for the community (players and devs) :) i feel this game is really expanding and really good. I think there are still lots of room to improve, innovate, and challenges! Oooops thought i am CEO lol hahaha.
I am a fan of max cap level, and i always want to attain it to get those special items.

My concern is: if we'Ll have new special vanity helm that means l56 crown will be worthless??? So i wonder what will be the new special item?thats exciting to know!

My idea is: how about making a helmet which overlays head of a char like the crown 56 before some update. Its like i can wear antenna over the crown 56. Then of course bonus set should not be broken. Whats your ideas?

To Sam/STS,

I can't speak for other people but for myself, I'm ready for new content! Maybe I play way too much cuz I'm already bored with Nuri. Nowadays, I mostly log on to CS a little, but the market's been very slow lately so not much going on there either. I pretty much had all 3 toons lvled to 61 after a week Nuri came out and crafted 2 1/2 Demonic Sets (decided not to complete mace set when rumors of Mt fang coming out during Halloween). Based on that, you can imagine how much plat/gold and hours i've spent. I'd like to thank my friends and ex-guildmates for the help and fast runs to help achieve that as well. Even tho i'm already bored, I do agree the update is coming a little to early but....I also think after New Years is a bit late. Sam and STS, please be considerate that most people don't live in PL like me (and other hardcore players) and capable of spending $$$ for thousands of plat to reach 61 in such a short time. May I suggest to push it back just a little to maybe mid DEC? Thank you in advance for your consideration.

My Fellow PL Players,
To be honest, 2 months is more than enough to reach 61 without spending plat for elixirs. Please keep in mind what "Hardcore" means. It means you sacrifice a lot of sleep and real life stuff. If you are playing casually (to me 1-2 hours a day is casual) then you don't deserve to be recognized as "Hardcore" and have elite items. Looking at the polls right now, 31% wants the update on Halloween and 38% wants it after New Years. So it would make sense to release it somewhere in the middle. To be fair, I feel STS is on the right track in trying to satisfy as many of us as possible based on our feedback. To those who b*tch about quitting, it's your choice to make. Posting it on forums doesn't help anything except to promote negativity. We play games to have fun and escape the dramas in reality! Please don't bring it into the game! Love you all! Cya in game!
