    Palace of Cetriss
    progression raid for t4 players with 6 bosses inside > great news ^^

    Slithering Chaos
    12-man dungeon... interesting but can be unaccesible for smaller social guilds

    any ETA for the Slithering Chaos on TestLive ?

    This is awsome. great news. 6 raid bosses is a lot more than I was expecting.

    how many bosses is there in slithering chaos?

    A screenshot from the palace would be awsome. when can we expect Cetriss on Testlive?

    1. Raids, Khitai, Dragonspine and Unchained dungeons require being premium. Will new pvp stuff finally require us to subscribe if all post 2.0 pve-inclusive content require to be premium or at least purchase access to it (Turan)?

    2. 12-man dungeon? Some details? What will be cooldown (if any). What loot. And how that is going to fit in current PvE state? Does it has to fight for our time with 6-man or raids? As stand alone content it won't fit here unless we will be able to repeat it over and over without cooldown.

    Hmmm interesting. I guess this is the worst possible news for someone like me-pure PvE player, playing soldiers mostly, DT more than anything else. Not only you are bringing permanent open world PvP to Crom thus shutting me effectively from most of the game because I loathe PvP, you are also nerfing/crippling my favorite class beyond playability. On top of that I understand you decided to increase difficulty of Cetriss raid, but gear probably wont be better than Jade Citadel gear?

    How can this be bad news? No one is forcing you to do these pvp quests? How can you complain about loot in cetriss when you dont know what the loot even is? DT need changes, how can you not agree on this?

    This is like the best letter we had in ages

    yeah.... we thought so also some 1.5+ year ago when we heard the news that CRAFTING REVAMP is coming...

    so about Cetriss and Chaos we have no ETA, only some info

    Pretty rounded up letter. New pvp content is much needed and these events are good way to spice things up.

    Crafting news are...disheartening. I am not sure we will even see crafting revamp this (yet another) year.

    Check this out: http://aochideout.blogspot.com/2012/...ll-revamp.html
    I made this joke in 2012 :X yeah, joke is on me.

    I have only 3 questions to Game Director:

    1/ Minigames, anything planned for tournament mode? Putting back "team" to "team pvp"?

    2/ Unchained minigames - is this project terminated? (I never cared about it TBH)

    3/ Hyborian race - is this project terminated? (again, I personally don't care)

    I am asking about 2 and 3 because I rather see those resources being spent elswere.

    The next patch will focus entirely on PvP, which is good.
    It's been way too long that FC neglected that important part of the game.

    12-man instance is a nice addition for little guilds and teams.
    I'm also glad to hear that the next raid instance won't be a straight flat tier increase with linear budget increase on gear, i'm hoping to see more alternatives to existing gear.

    For the PvP events on Crom, will some maps become PvP "active" during this event and people be able to PvP in it just like in regular PvP maps or will the event take place in existing PvP maps only ?

    Sounds like a lot of cool stuff heading our way.

    Thanks for the up-date!
