Hello my fellow Lineage addicts,
I know people keep posting about all the bad things coming with Episode 6 part I. I would prefer to hear the good things that are coming with Episode 6 part I and II. If those in "the know" would not mind revealing some of the new stuff (no bad stuff :P) that is coming down the pike that would be wonderful :).
Thanks,

New hunting areas
New hunting areas (underwater shipwreck areas) Areas north-west of FV. The opening of Lastavard 4th flr (high level area.) New knight skills. New elf spells (fire elves the god class). Various new weapons... A new boss stronger than a dragon that hasnt even been taken down on any server yet, that drops god weapons that also will never drop (the swords and bows you hear of that are like 50/50). New DE morphs 55+.
Thats epi6 stuff we have to look forward to at this point..
Then the Gludin changes and fishing and cooking and stuff that comes after that. Including new pets and stuff.

Does this mean I need to get my con elf to level 51+ and go fire ASAP?

Its basically a elf version of the old armor break. Guarantees the highest possible damage roll.

As sk8 said but couple that
As sk8 said but couple that with Hard AC, fire elves are nights with more mp and far far superior versatility. What I don't understand is they ruin DE armor break then give it to elves? what the -.-
Um....the new level 99 boss
Um....the new level 99 boss has been ended on chinese servers. There is clip about it.
This monster is more a god than a regular boss and drops all the uber stuff in a blessed version, even spellbooks and crystals (which will be more effective then!). The worse thing about it, it uses counterattack x.x
Some stats:
Level: 99
Type: Demon (grab your bkat ;P)
AC: 99
MR: 99
HP: 28000
MP: 5000
Regen: +500HP/MP every 5 sec.
Bored of easy bosses? Check out this one!

Sk8's pretty much mentioned
Sk8's pretty much mentioned everything significant with the ep6 release. However I won't discount as good/bad the rebalancing of several zones for hunting, since I never hunt in those zones so I can't evaluate any changes made to them.
Ep6 Part 1 will hurt alot of players though, I'm hoping part 2/3 and epU come out very soon after so we don't get left with nothing but bots on dep and ken (the servers I play).
Fracas ep6 is a bad bad bad bad bad bad patch, please DO NOT release it without part 2/3 integrated. If the quitting is anything like Korea, our servers won't survive, LoA may be fine but dep and ken won't be.
I see the rebalancing as
I see the rebalancing as negative changes... Dont mess with what doesnt need fixed! =/
Couple other negative things... (Hopefully Fracas can leave these out of the patch...) Level 50 elf spells become self cast only (except NB.)

That is kinda stupid, granted elves still have the party buff spells (Eye of Storm, Bless of Earth, and Bless of Fire).

I dunno... I think I'd rather not wear pansy knee socks and be a knight than wear pansy knee socks and be a sucky elf.
Besides... doesn't double break double the damage on a swing? If your de has a max of 50 dmg per swing... I think it'd be better to have double than ab since any attack valuing over 25 damage would be better than always doing 50 dmg constantly since it'd be doubled. This would mean that at least 50% of the time you'd be doing more than 50 dmg. Since you can't really deal one damage, your average damage output would be way higher than 50.
Of course maybe it doesn't work this way... but if it does, you're all just a bunch of whiners
(This could be incorrect,
(This could be incorrect, DE's feel free to flame and correct.)
My understanding is that Armor Break gave high end rolls, always. So you always hit for your higher end damage potential.
Double break simply has a 'chance' to double the damage of the attack. It doesn't always. And when it doesn't you just do basic damage.
I dueled a 60+ non-str de +9kedo with double break running, and it was so random. He could hit for 25 damage, or he could hit for 175 damage. Very unreliable.

Oh and I thought I'd point
Oh and I thought I'd point this out since I thought it was funny. A fire elf with the new spell has a higher av. damage then a non-db DE (same lvl con DE with +7 kclaws) :P They do far more then Knights now with 20str (buffed + items) +A-sword then a knight with +9tsu and same str xD maxed rolls are very nice on a-sword.
It's essentially the same as the korean DEs who used a-sword before the changes to AB to DB. It's actually very strong coupled with the fact elf can self heal b2s r2n and cancel o.o
You're just jelous ;).
You're just jelous ;).
Hehe I wouldn't worry about
Hehe I wouldn't worry about DE to much since we still lead damage with DB on....
The real worry for nerfs would have to be knights who are going to be wondering why a elf with a a-sword can out damage their dks.
Fire Sword of Death Knight:
Fire Sword of Death Knight: 16/10 +5 Hit +2 Damage with chance for direct damage magic attack
Ancient Sword: 35/20 +5 Hit
*Disclaimer: The stats are from LineageDB, if they are wrong, please correct me :)*
If the fire elf's skill is what they say, then the fire elf will do at least 35 damage. With a +9 DKS it will do at least 27 damage. With all buffs being equal, I can see the elf and knight trading victories. Still, which elf elemental will be the most durable in the end? I still believe Water will still win out in the durability section followed by wind, earth, then fire.
If I am able to get a NB drop before I get to level 51 I will likely go fire, if I get NB I will likely go water ^_~.
The stats on the weapon are
The stats on the weapon are correct.
You may be forgetting though....Elf would be using Fire chants + b-weapon etc in addition to the soul of flame spell. You hit very very hard, a Elf should av. around 30-35damage with full buffs, which is DE territory cept we range 25-45 without DB on. Self buffs only.
In 1 on 1 though...cancel...best spell ever.
Is cancel's success/failure

That damage output was against a -7xac DE.

If that's the case I'm
If that's the case I'm guessing this must be standard output for a knight that hasn't gone str/dex route (since I've read you're adding to WIS).
At any rate, Fire Elves do more then knights with soul of flame, sure its meant to be rare in NCK but come next drop event we can pretty much say all real fire elves will have it. In addition they can do as much as DE, isn't that kinda o.o considering they do have massively better versatility in the first place.
Nah, before the +9ret I was
Nah, before the +9ret I was only putting out ~25 damage with TSU. Its all the weapon.
Yes, it does seem like a lot for an elf. But at least in this case, (unlike DE's and in most cases Mage spells,) they lose the spell if they switch lines. So if they get this spell, they are forcing themselves to be a fire elf forever, which does eliminate some versatility of the class. And as a fire elf (unless they are con/int) they are also pretty much going to be somewhat dependent on pots. So unless they only hunt a place like FI that floods pots, they will still be forced to go restock often like any other melee class.
Also, at its current cost... its 3sgems every 64seconds to maintain that high end damage output. If it lasted 15minutes or something, it may be a concern to balance, but as it is now, its just as easy for a DE to keep DB up as an elf to keep this up.
All that is PVM wise of course...
In PvP, I dont see it as a big deal that a fire elf could hold their own a little better as a melee class. The Hard AC isnt an issue, since they already had that in pvp... And itll cost them a lot for the spell. And it is cancelable.

Oic that makes sense, I was
Oic that makes sense, I was wondering how u were av. those numbers since I only account for 1handed stuff that I often forget about LoA stuff.
Every line does force you to sacrifice something to use it, but int based fire elves are going to have a pretty grand time with these new spells. This spell + the new regen hp/mp while overweight one is going to be insanely good for them. As a DE I don't really care about the new intro of these spells, however I'm curious how most knights are going to react once the spell is common enough among fire elves to feel the effect.
Personally knights probably need some kind of change for their spell usage, whoever thought a non mp class needs so much mp now lol. It'd be interesting if NC decreased the effectiveness of the spells overall but introduced a system similar to WoW. I.E, instead of mp knights would have an aggression system which regens while overweight. I don't necessarily see the purpose of the new spells if it lasts for 1-2mins but takes 20mins to regen to full mp and impossible during a solo hunt.
I do think they are good, just don't see them being all the useful. Can just imagine in pvp, 1 mana drain n the knights are gonna spend the next 30mins in an inn. lol

If I am not able to be NB as a drop before I get to level 51 I will go fire, if I do get it I will go water...There I think I corrected myself :P.

i would really suggest you go wind if you wana lvl faster x..x

I agree, I am wind right now
I agree, I am wind right now at 49 and I plan to go water only after I add some int first. Not sure when that will be though cause I plan to add dex first.
