Though the speed increase is nice, and the hp consumption change on the mana regen skill, the mobility and interupts are still the major issue. What's the point of making a class which 90% of it's skills are charge-ups but are interrupted by every little thing. Our charge is nice however it's not as effective as slayer/warrior and the CD is slightly longer. Animation rooting on buffs is horrible (fiery rage and the mana regen) and yeah. Bandaid fix that doesn't really solve any underlying problems.

Hate to say it but perhaps you picked the wrong class? My lancer is 145 ilvl, full t12 +6 and +8 weapon, no double boss dmg reduction on chest. I tank FoK HM with a 142ilvl priest and a few really awesome dps. Granted they pull aggro often, my taunt brings it right back. I get hit hard but I manage mana well and block everything I need to block. If you have full t12+9 and you're dying, you most likely shouldn't be a lancer.

edit: the priest is 143 ilvl, gloves, boots, enigmatic t12 +3, weapon enigmatic t12 +6, chest is quested t12.

Berserkers got fixed. Slayers got nerfed. Reflect was removed. Enchanting is easier. Battlegrounds implemented. Nexus has been optimized. Oh wait, just the opposite. Nothing has changed but we have an egg event that drops 50x more glasses than any other skin, as well as a mount that has the lowest drop rate of any item in game.

Aren't the live servers pts enough? :)

Guess what. Now we're all on CD for the next 4 hours. Netflix, anyone?

+1 for OP. Well said.

I have to agree with VisionStorm. Cosmetics are fine, etc. But $10 dollars, $15 dollars, and wow $25 dollars for race change? I don't think so. I'll spend that $25 towards one of the popular f2p model games just released/soon-to-be released and save myself a $15 a month payment.

Maybe $5 for gender/remodel and $10 for race change. Might save some subs, and probably a better business strategy in the long run. Discuss.

Personally I don't mind having a cash shop but really EME? 25$ for a race change? I thought 10 would be a bit much but still tolerable. 25 is ridiculous.

edit: just realized it is priced this way since it is an appearance and gender change in one. Pretty lame, regardless.

Never permanent. You can hover your mouse over the "empty" inventory spot and the item name still appears, and you can still move it. A quick way to make them reappear without relogging is just swapping the "invisible" item with one you can see and voila, it's back.
