Logged in just to upvote this thread. RNG is RNG, but it doesn't mean gathering statistical data is irrelevant. How long did it take to actually acquire and open all those boxes? Cause at your best exchange rate, the 22 boxes you opened resulted in a profit of ~9k gold. That's pretty modest compared to the amount of time spent collecting, opening, and attempting to sell all the items. Bottom line is, trying to make gold from opening boxes is a waste of time.

Even with the broken google translate it's obvious that it is a completely new mmorpg project, and not some expansion.

For pvp. Seems like the vm chest has the bigger advantage over conjunct than the vm weapon does.

What are you even rambling on about? Of course players under level 60 will be gimped because they don't have all their skills, but my point was this new BG seems more focused around effective positioning and use of those cannons instead of just straight combat between players. Hence, the difference in skills available isn't as big of a deal here.

And I don't think we should just dismiss all those people saying they wanted BGs for people under level 60, because that's a valid point. Having more gameplay content for people beyond just level grinding can never be a bad thing.

You're an idiot. Since this game came out people have been asking for a pvp battleground they could do while leveling. Something to do other than just level or dungeon grind. BHS is FINALLY addressing that, and you want to restrict it to level 60? Just glancing at the video I can tell that gear (or crystals and charater skills, rather) is much less important here than the other BG mode because of all those cannons.

Thanks for the real translations. A bit worried about premade 60 groups coming to dominate the new siege bg (with anyone under level 60 considered a useless liability for the team). Then again they could just drive those siege tanks which seem like a pretty important part of the game. Under-leveled healers are probably going to still be a real problem though.

It's much easier if you just visit the korean link in my thread and run it through google translate yourself. The machine gibberish makes much more sense if you read it in the context of the original page with pictures.

Then you should probably continue being disappointed. We're not getting that and there doesn't look to be any plans to.

EDIT: The closest thing is probably the Alliance/Federation patch. You don't get to occupy the opponent faction castle/territory, but you can raid their base and kill the federation leader for their tax money (?)

Not sure if anyone posted a thread on this, but the new 20v20 bg patch hit KTera today. From what I can understand from machine translation the important bits are:

1. It's a castle siege type bg with one team on defense and one on offense. A match lasts two rounds with the teams swapping sides.
2. Anyone not level 60 are boosted up to level 60 stats with all of their current skills boosted to max rank. Skills you haven't learned yet aren't available.
3. They replaced unranked 3v3s with ranked solo queue 3v3s.

New patch hit korea today, and from what I can understand from google translate is that they replaced the unranked matches with a solo queue for 3v3s. Don't quote me on this, but I think they also extended the ELO ranking to solo queues as well.

EDIT: The other big news is that the 20v20 equalized gear bgs was released, so most of the news is about that.
