maybe you should mention that the russian offical servers and taiwan already had Freya for a month or 2, and korea already has the next expansion out high five so where 2 cronicle's behind...

also ncsoft promised 4 expansion's for the korean's this year, high five is the second, so 2 to go, but  why mention this ? well the team making the expansions are also the ones doing the translation's for Na/Eu servers and since they so busy i doubt we see high five really soon

That expansion looks really nice, specially the XP bonus from recs and the increase time, I think that coupled with the new revamped areas should really help the game a little bit by making it a little easier to play a bit more casually instead of funnelling everyone into the same areas. I also like the fact that they turned most bosses into instances, does that mean that multiple parties can do it once a week?

Didn't read it yet but they turned the bosses into instances?

Not that I care but I bet there are players who are besides themselves because those were times when you could steal a boss from an enemy clan/alliance.

I dunno for sure they talk about them being instances, so I dunno wether that means they can be done by multiple groups or that they cant be messed up by another group once they enter.

I might take another look at this game, really bored at the moment and just dont seem to find anything to play, EVE is good but I dont think I can deal with ships atm.

They did not instance Antharas / Valakus. It has been confirmed by the GMs on the official forums. Its rumored that next update they will be instanced but its just a rumor.

But they did make all the others instanced correcT?

Mikeha

The made Frintezza an instance. Zaken was made an instance last update. The rest of the bosses remain the same. They did make Antharas and Valakas much harder to kill.

That is quite cool that means a lot more ppl will be able to do it, having been on the first ever Antharas NA kill on gustin its good they improved it cause the boss was a joke, kitting around for a couple of hours. Not that boss fights have much into them besides frintezza even then the point and click doesnt allow for many reactive mechanics.
