18.0

[Boltgun]

Means announced that they will release the Xan playfields before the engine update. This will push the dx 9 engine in 2009. :angry:

Bah, this and we know nothing of the changes in 18.0 besides fears and knock-backs added ingame. In the AO forums we had a scare about combined combined armor in the database and that\'s it. :unsure:

I don\'t care much about this booster, for me it needs the new engine first.

howdy bolt

[Sorrow]

lol ><

Btw, i\'m interested in the booster as well. :kiss:
It may give some story line advance rp wise. :woohoo:

[Boltgun]

Means announced that most of the content will be solo, with 2 raid instances. Now I\'m curious.

Oh and shades will have 300 spirits/

Btw also sold get nerf\'d with no resistance to the new fear  and knockback.

[Sorrow]

Doc\'s get fear removal just like keeper\'s get fear resisant aura.:cheer:

[Burosmurf]

They should have focused on the new engine first to make AO be worthy to compete against other MMO?s again.
After that release new playfields to show the new engine?s capabilities.

Big disappointment they pushed it back that far.

[Sorrow]

Agreed. :|

Solds get punched around and will run away.
I hope at some point that whiners will realize that there is means to kill a soldier, before they all get one for each finger.

I still feel pity for  my favourit prof.. shade. Allthey get is 300 spirits which should\'ve been long ingame. Tho it won\'t help tl5 + whatever pvp for them. Combined spirits would be a solution but since some trox shades are good even now, they don\'t give that for em yet. All my opi shades are pvp-gemped, the only chance is to gank some agents/docs/traders and thats all this way.
I don\'t say i\'m unhappy with my shade in pvp, but i feel what the guys on forums chat about (can hardly perk almost anyone which is a shame since shades got their true power in their perks).

BUT its not a shade whine thread yet, so i shut up.

[Boltgun]

Shades are free kill zone for me, so fast it\'s not even funny.

Hell even when they strike me from behind they end up deader then me. (good thing there is a butt plate on ofab armor)

May be different with the new proc, dunno. But them and agent lack something to be something good as a sneak attacking proff and running away with it. Agents got a patch up tool but shades...

Heh, one of the main reasons i was out of my mind when pvped as shade. I couldn\'t gank a single solja with only halfl hp sitting.. the dmg shield killed me

On the other hand the new proc is a help, but not the proper thing shades need to solve this gimp-fest. :laugh:

Btw i\'ve just read about the 300 spirits, and all they give is +18 AR and 60 alldef compared to 270ishes, not to mention the forthcoming upgraded symbs. So once again, shades got dumped.

[Boltgun]

The booster is delayed but we get timers on unavailable actions. Well that was about time for this one.

[Actonel]

I hope that the new booster is worth the money for it. LE is a great disappointment, to me, it is just a big patch instead of an expansion... Items good, but other than that, nothing new was introduced.

I had seen the test server for the new playfields, it is still very buggy but rather challenging. The only prob is I get lost a lot >.<

As for shade\'s ql 300 spirits, I hope that it is not another siphon camping items, took me sooo long to get the full set of ql 250-270 set. I also wish for more shade love in the new patch :p ahahah then we will see tons of atrox shades in the DNA section

[unback]

make those trox suffer!
