5)thus BUFF an arena that does not really qualify as random, and barely qualifies as pvp (because one's success isnt determined as much by how good you play, but mostly by how lucky you are or how much you abuse it).

So do help me understand this mockery and trampling on the little that was left of the "good old days" in an otherwise brilliant update.

You're going to be getting glad points at the exact same rate. The only people this is going to benefit are PvEers who play RA for kicks, or might be trying to grind out an HoM title.

Does it really impact you that much? If anything, there'll be more people playing.

New build now up.

Malchior Devenholm · Jun 02, 2011, 09:22 PM // 21:22

So apparently everyone has /champion right now since there is no ladder xD

Enjoy it while it lasts

yea, as a matter of fact it does.
the main problem with ra is that TOO many play it, esp during zquest days.

I'll fkn troll them like a madman now.

give us back TA, split both titles. faking hell it did not deserve to go down like this.
or better.
revert and freeze glad title, make a new one for ra. ffs

100 gold coins. Ouch! Pretty expensive. These better look awesome. No offhands and two-handed weapons are missing too.

Imperial faction converts to Bathazar faction 3 to 1, imperial to luxon and kurzick 1 to 1. So 15k imperial faction will now get you 5k bathazar. There are 4 denomination choices so you can convert a lot or a little at once.

And still no love for ab.

Lanier · Jun 02, 2011, 09:33 PM // 21:33

tradeable zcoins is an awful idea. I also don't understand the point of adding gvg emotes - just a waste of dev time in my opinion. FA, JQ, and AB changes are nice though.

Well I'm 1/10 of the way there

So market for zcoins what do you guys think it will be since gold zcoins now get you 1 elite rit tome and therefore around 12k.

100 gold coins and 15k i say they really better be cute. o.o hard to see what they look like at the reward guy.

Ya, got to rank 3 thanks to this. 3 extra HoM points for me <3

Man so much chaos for the pvp world atm. The z coins update will make the economy go up and down for a couple days IMO

To give ladder a draw beyond champ points. Ladder has been completely useless since they stopped using ladder rank as qualification for tournaments.

-Zaishen coins are now tradable items.

WHAAAAAAAAT?!

I did not see this coming.

AngelWJedi · Jun 02, 2011, 09:43 PM // 21:43

so 100 gold coins plus 15k even if they say are 1k per gold coing it will still cost you 115k for one of these weapons. which their is no daggers,hammer,wands or offhand?! and did they fix the ZV bugg with this update or no? lols

instanceskiller · Jun 02, 2011, 09:44 PM // 21:44

As I don't pvp practically at all, this update isn't all that interesting to me. Slightly interested in seeing what the new emotes may be though and do appreciate the ab changes. I was thinking the melee hero ai changes would be included in this update but just remembered that they were removed from pvp haha. Hope it comes out soon.

this is pretty much why i love the glad title update, I'm mainly a PVEer now and i just RA when im bored, so this gives me incentive to actually do RA for glad 3

people actually care about rank emotes?

I thought the draw toward rank emotes had fallen awhile back?

Im not too big on the envoy weapon idea. We don't need more high-end weapons for the rich. If they add new weapon skins, I'd like to see them be affordable for everyone.
