They listed start time in PDT and end time in PST, lol
What is the chance that this maintenance is actually the Mediah update, and what is the chance that it'll come with one of the new classes?

When it does come out, Mediah will probably come with Blader and Plum. I see them at least doing some kind of preview or campaign before they drop that kind of update.
Though Ninja is what I am waiting for I will still give both a try to see how they play.

I cannot wait
Also, i've been updating the doc i've been using for the current end-game gear, i noticed i posted it very early in the morning so reposting it in case anyone was interested
To add, Yuria weps can drop off Rhutums which there are a couple 200CP dailies for anyways, and they're just pretty decent to farm at 50.
Also, getting 500 amity from the vendor is really really easy, takes like 2 mins since you can get 150-200+ amity per conversation picking basically just random shit unless you get a Fail X times one that can be tricky.
Ogres spawn in Mansha Forest, but they have a long spawn timer and can be highly contested so its not weird to not see any there.
Ok, what's Mediah besides my server of choice?
It isn't taking 2 more months to come out. If it doesn't come before April, it'll definitely come out in April.
It's the area east of Heidel I think?

If anyone on Orwen wants to sell a Fishing Boat, let me know, I'm in the market for one and the ones on the marketplace seem to go instantly.

Anyone think the name "Zalamon" is fitting for a Wizard?

They can't sell to you directly. there's no player to player trading of anything but consumables.. so they'd have to put it on the market to sell it to you.

Oh... that blows. I'm not sure why I always see people spamming crap for sale and they specifically say not on the market.

what kind of stuff do they sell? If it's food or potions, then sure.. but you can't currently trade anything else.

After Blader/Plum it's Ninja/Kunoichi's turn and then it's Witch/Wizard. They were the last classed released in KR, we got them earlier for some reason.

I love this game but it's crazy how a pretty game can take such bad looking screenshots
Ikr? Wtf? IQ looks so bad in a lot of shots posted here?

part of it is the mode where you hide the UI has a blur filter that it applies by default. You can move around what is in focus or get rid of it, but a lot of people are leaving the blur in place, it looks like.
I have no idea how to remove that damn blur filter for the photo mode.
Depth of field option in the settings. Or you can switch off the UI and there's a focus key combo you can change it with

I was struggling a bit with the sorc yesterday so I decided to try out a pure melee class today since I thought sorc was gonna be fine if I focused purely on melee moves rather than jumping in and out of melee and mid range like I ended up having to do to avoid death to stuff like ogres.
Well I tried out a valk and oh my god I think I'm in love, I went ham and I hit 26 in about 5 hours.
This class is incredibly fun. It's slightly less mobile than I'd like - I am gonna miss sorcs teleport a lot - but the ability to just gather massive amounts of enemies and face tank them while bursting them down is really something else.
I soloed every summonable boss so far as a valk while I had to get help with 2 of them on my sorc.
Ultimately I think I might just not be cut out to play sorc, She was fun as hell so i'll come back to her one day..
Hold control and move the up and down arrow keys it should push the blur effect out and win..
I feel like it was a localization decision, witch / wizard are far more lined up with the west's expectations for the setting than Blader and Plum.

My big problem is the sharpening filter you can't turn off. I feel like the only way to get good image quality is to downscale the screenshots.

Regarding screenshot mode:
Hold shift + arrow keys for tilt and zoom in/out POV
Hold ctrl + arrow keys for DOF
You can mouse wheel scroll in and out also.
Q will kneel or sit if you are right on the edge of something and then q again to cross your arms. Press back when against a wall to lean back as well.
When sitting you can hit a button (forget which one, but the menu pops up to prompt you) to go into overhead mode for different views.
I personally play with all the filters off. Natural looks good but it's nice we have the option.

Yeah I posted some screenshots in this thread a while back when I first started, and they look horrendous compared to everything else on that page due to the filter lol. Turned it off as soon as I went back into the game, looks a lot more natural now.
I would expect it during next Wednesdays maintenance, rather than today. I am fairly sure based on that I have read of the developer interviews, that it WILL be released to us before the end of March, so that leaves only today, or next Wednesday. We will know soon I guess!

Yeah the vibrant filter is way overdone and made my character look like an orange. Iirc, if you hold Control there's a way to change filters while in photo mode.
Also you can play the game in black and white. It's awesome.
I do really appreciate that they have all those filters, and then even allow you to switch between them in game. It's nice to switch to say, the video filter or bw filter and play like that.

Some people really like that over saturated look. While some things look nice with the vibrant colors it looks pretty terrible overall. The worst thing about the filter is the horrible bloom and orange/yellow glow on everything at night.
I would definitely recommend photo filter set to 'None'. If you feel like the overall image appears slightly washed out, try adjusting the contrast in the same menu. This will depend on monitor calibration and setup, but I increased the contrast to 30%. The game looks infinitely better.

So, are there any online tools to assist in creating trade routes? Tools that you can select the trade areas you have available and it'll show what items have what prices?
that cara delevigne though
Do you mean for selling trade goods? Prices change constantly based on transaction volume from players (and apparently other factors, too) so unless the game has some kind of API you can get info from I doubt something like that exists.
If you just mean trade manager inventories, I have not seen anything like that. I sorta started some notes but nothing as organized as an app or fancy spreadsheet yet.

That's where the template was from but I think it looks more like Ashley Benson, which was what I was going for.

Spend energy to see the market price and go where it sells for the highest.
Valk is nice, but kinda boring lol. Shield into spear into shield is basically all you'll need for anything for grinding. Sometimes I'll mix it up with shield into spear into sword of judgement into shield if I need the extra damage.
Just a tip for mobility, any shield skill can combo into shield chase (I'm not sure about shield throw though, sometimes it seems like it doesn't, but other times it does). You won't need it much for leveling, but it's nice for dodging around ogres.

I think it unlocks at lvl 56, so I imagine most people won't make it. If ganking is going to be a very real thing, and levelling slows down that much after lvl 50.. Brace yourself. Death is going to hurt. Hopefully this will add to a sense of excitement that has been sorely missed from so many MMOs where death is a pointless nuisance.
And fortunately there is no-delevelling. So if somebody ganks you, you can't lose enough xp to go down a level, which to me is awesome. It's like a level is a milestone. There will be a point where you are close to levelling- you get ganked and lose xp, and it will feel like shit because of all the time you wasted.
But on the other hand- When was the last time levelling really mattered? It's a completely different mentality in the game that you have to be strategic about when and where you grind.
If you go out as a lvl 50+ to grind. Alone, without backup- Thats basically like having unprotected sex with someone you dont know. Something is going to happen- It might not be now, but you're risking a lot and you will suffer the consequences.
I want that Greatsword too. I think a lot of people want to, but I also think there will be a lot of anger revolving around the effort needed. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
The Mediah update will add mobs that are level 51-55 ish I think, which will speed up leveling in that range. Right now while leveling 1-50 you're probably mostly grinding on purple/red mobs and getting lots of XP, at 50 everything is white or green already.
