If we go back in time or something to the war 20 years ago I think I deserve a freaking metal for calling that like 3 months ago.

i'm slightly getting my hopes up for the DM earrings.. simply because what can they do?
• add more, then they better let people who already have them have a chance to trade their's in..
• allow a trade in period
• buff up the stats of previous earring, maybe enough that i won't still regret getting the Abyssal, lol
• make the quest repeatable so u can get multiple earrings
etc..

or they can simply screw them all up.. lol.. or this part of the update is BS :P

5th Anniversary Talk Section

The Talk Section began with the nostalgic Play-Online startup screen. Six developers came out for the Talk Section listed here:

* Tanaka Hiromichi - Producer
* Kawamoto Nobuaki
* Ogawa Kouichi
* Mastsui Satoshi
* Aiba Ryouyuu
* Sage Sundi

First, they showed us a 5th anniversary memorial video, which announced the new expansion: Wings of the Goddess. The video made it official.
---

Below are my notes on the rest of the discussion. I was scribbling like mad so if there are some mistakes, I am sorry.


* Aht Urghan missions from here on will greatly involve the Dark Rider
* The management came to understand how much an MMO can cost since the intital stages, but Tanaka added, "With a movie you can lose a lot more..." (lol Spirits Within?)
* They explained the design process for a new monster, Vampire.
- "Initial drawing" took a few weeks
- "Modeling" took a few months
- "Motion" is a secret
- "Texturing" is done along with Motion
- "Programming" is still unknown because their in the middle of it

---

Questions taken prior to entering the assembly were now answered in "Letters From Adventurers"

Q: This Beastmaster is feeling very lonely. Won't you give me a companion?
A: Yes, we will. We will definitely help you very soon. We are also adding new magic for existing jobs in the next expansion.
(I'm not sure what this fan's problem was, but reading between the lines he wants more pets and party activity. Sounds like something is coming for BST in the next update.)

Q: Promathia Missions are still difficult. Won't you give us some relief?
A: We will implement something in June. Items to weaken the enemies and experience point bonuses.

Q: Salvage and Nyzul Isle are too hard!
A: We'll adjust them in June. Imbued Items (Cells) will become easier to get.
A: We'll will add Temporary items you can buy with Tokens from Nyzul. In addition, we will fix how your record erases on the 100th floor, instead only erasing it after defeating the boss.

Q: Will we be able to re-choose our Divine Might earring?
A: We have plans for that in June. Besides Divine Might, we are also considering other items that may pleasantly surprise you.

Q: I want a tuxedo.
A: If the demand is there.

Listed below are items that were recently moved into BCNMs. As for the drop rate, "We can't tell you exactly, but within 10 tries you should have a 40% chance at one.
(So, 4% drop rate?)

* Operation Desert Swarm - Serket Ring
* Horns of War - Healing Staff
* The Hills are Alive - Strider Boots
* Early Bird Catches the Wyrm - Juggernaut, Speed Belt

Nyzule Isle isn't too hard, the NM drops are just shit appraisals and aren't enough to entice pick up groups to continue with it. That and the fact that 3 different activities are dependent on assault tags...

i compleatly agree Jord.

Its not that its too hard, its that theres not enough reward for most people, and also the fact that everything uses Tags means that people who want to do other Assaults cannot do Nyzul Isle and ect...

If nyzule isle isn't sanctioned by the assault agency, then why do we need assault tags to do it? Perfect fix would be to add nyzule tags, being same as regular tags, and to make the NM ??? items either drop or be appraised to the same drop % as the regular NM has. That's how you fix nyzule isle
