-Gear with level requirements at 60 or lower will be divided into 3 categories: broken, normal, advanced. [just a rough translation for the categories but you get the idea]
-Advanced is the current gear that can and still will be available through crafting. Broken and normal have lower stats and will be obtainable in battle. [so current gear will become 'advanced' after the update.]

-and some more random glitch, inconvenience fixes.


[Let's JUMP] Event period :
2012-05-31 to 2012-06-21 before update

During the event period, you are able to create lv50 character directly, and receive the equipments
1. ( just follow the normal char creation procedures, as long as you have one empty char slot )
2. After choosing your appearance, choose "Start from Lv50"
3. And you can receive Lv50's equiments

Silver token x 150
20000 AP capsule x1
Life Potion for training use x 80
Resurrection Feather x4

some said it was the end of the game, some said there will be many bad Fiona and Lann, but I think it's a more advanced way of promotion, Hoarfrost Depths' quests and battles are probably the worst of all and now people can simply skip it and have a slightly more enjoyable game-play, no matter what, at least this event will certainly lure some more people to join, it may not be that bad. ( Truth: my guildmates may finally come back and have guild runs )

MAJOR UPDATE::: Seal System Added, What Path Do We Take For Raids?

Greetings fellow WTP members, here's a quick update as to what we're going to get by tomorrow.

Brain Storming Time-----------------
Now that Rare Mats will be somewhat worthless due to the Seal System, raids will no longer be a priority for most people.  As a result, WeTheProud will be making heavy changes in the Raid System.
How The System Works:
If you do 1 raid a day, in that raid you will obtain a Seal Of Bravery.  With the SoB, you can purchase items like Glas Pants or Colru Shiny Stone.

Now we have a total of 13 raids:
Titan
Thor
Glas
Aghlan
Ingkells
Dragon
Polar Bear
Trio Spiders
Succubus
Fomorian Leader Shakarr
Betrayal
Lionotus
Colru

If you run every single raid for 7 days, you will obtain 91 Seals.  As you can see in the chart, Glas pants are 80 seals and a Colru stone is 52 seals.



-Changes and Updates-
  • Random Daily Missions have been added. Check the mission board at the docks for more details.
  • The Seal Currency system has been added. Check the character menu to check on the seals in your possession.
  • Seals may be used to purchase items from the Royal Army Recruit at the docks in Colhen or Rocheste.
  • Dancing has been added! Shake that booty by typing /dance.


Greetings Mercenaries, 

We will soon be creating a new seal currency system, which will be accessed through a new sub-menu in the character menu. Seals of Dedication, which were once received by reviving a fallen mercenary, will return, and Seals of Enjoyment will be removed from the game. 


The new seal currency system includes the following types of seals: 
  • Seals of Bravery - Obtained after completing certain battles, such as The Central Gardens, Colru the Golem, and The Dark, Dank Sewers.
  • Seals of Dedication - Obtained after reviving a fallen mercenary with a Phoenix Feather.
  • Combat Seals - Obtained after completing PvP skirmishes, such as Monster Brawl and Capture the Relic.

You will be allowed a maximum of 100 Combat Seals, 1000 Seals of Battle, and 200 Seals of Dedication. If you currently have more than 100 combat seals, you’ll receive 30 gold in exchange for each seal over 100. You’ll also receive 15 gold for each Seal of Enjoyment you own. 

Gold for these seals will be deposited directly into your storage chest after the update. 

Be sure to check the Royal Army Recruit for all the new items you can purchase via the new seal currency system.

Zokku's New Ragequit Game (No, It's Not Pangya)

Early TLDR: --------->

Hey guys, if you're wondering why I'm not in the evening much it's because I've started to develop a serious passion for Starcraft 2.  However, there are times when I hit that +6 fail 20 times in a row and lose to 5 Gold players in a row.  Thus, I grow more white hair.

Anyways, the point of this post is that when I grow more white hair or my neck starts bulging with blood vessels, I turn to the one game where I can vent my rage.  That's right, it's Maplestory.
I believe I haven't fully announced to the community where WeTheProud resides.
1. Steam Group Team WTP
2. SC2
3. Vindictus
4. Flyff (Disbanded)
5. Counter-Strike 2D (Disbanded)
6. Maplestory (Bera, Disbanded)

Anyways, as a rage-vent, I'm going to try trolling my way through Maplestory.  If you guys are interested, you can add my two characters, MySlaveIkame in Scania and Sahngyupsal in Bellocan.
I'll probably play for 3 minutes at most every few days.



Ragequit.

Vindictus Season 2

New Area, New Story


In season 1, we have seen how our character starts out as a lowly mercenary in Cholhen and rises up to the ranks of an Imperial Knight. 


Season 2 will be staged in a different town called Morban. A seaside town where treasure hunters have gathered in search of riches. There are several islands with varying environments close to Morban thus players will be able to have a wider variety of experiences.


Season 2 will be updated periodically in episodes and each episode will bring new story and battles. Season 1 completion is not required in order to proceed Season 2 and it is possible to proceed both seasons at simultaneously. Some of the sub stories of Season 2 will have hidden elements that are related with the story of Season 1 so make sure to keep an eye out for them.




New Battles


We have redoubled our efforts to provide unique battles in Season 2 and have some creative combat elements under development.


A large number of new monster patterns have been added. Each monster will display a variety of never-seen-before moves and players will be required to play more strategically


We also added a new system for players to be able to go back to a previously explored area unlike the previous linear system. This new method of moving around dungeons will be related with the new reward system and we hope it provides a more interesting gaming experience.


Character Progression Revamp[/size]


Character progression has been changed to provide a smoother experience for players. First of all, characters will now gain additional stats from leveling up.


In order to balance out the additional stats, story related titles will have their stats reduced or removed. This has been done in order to reduce the stress of having to obtain story titles all over again when leveling a new character. Titles that are not related to story will not be effected by these changed, of course.


New rewards are also prepared for players with a large number of titles. These rewards can be obtained anytime after the Season 2 update as long as the player has the required number of titles.




Low level gear more easily obtainable
Low, to mid level gear will be more easily obtainable due to the reduced types or number of mats required to craft gear and monsters will not only drop mats but crafted gear as well. Additional gear have also been added.


Take note that these changes do no affect the difficulty of obtaining gear above lv 50 that much. This change is centered around increasing the fun of obtaining/switching gear.




Character Improvement
Lann, Fiona, and Karok will be revamped and Evie and Kai will also receive some tweaks. Skills that weren't used often will have their stats or action improved allowing the players a wider variety of choices.


The SP skills which relied on the use of two buttons will also be improved.
The SP requirements for skills and SP gain will be tweaked to allow quicker use of skills and we are considering adding a new control method of using these skills.


In addition to this, existing skills will have their max ranks increased and new action skills will be added.


UI improvement
The UI will be improved to better support users. We have compiled a list of suggestions and started working on a priority basis.


The UI functions that are most frequently used will be the first to be tweaked and they will be applied to the test server first for feedback.






We have more content and improvements to existing contents in preparation (and also a very surprising content that we can't reveal yet)


Some of these updates are currently under development and once internal testing is complete, we will show it on the test server for feedback. We will discuss each developments on the developers notes before updating them on the test server. Each update will be updated in parts on the test server in the order they're ready.


We hope to make an update that you enjoy and before ending this note, we bring you an artwork of the Season 2 raid boss that we have mentioned in the Nexon Developers Conference, the Kraken.
