[dev1021] Level Cap Increase

[Korpg]

I know that putting the dev tag on the title doesn't help matters, but still, here are a few questions about the level cap increase I have.

A) When is it?
B) What are the spells/abilities we will learn between 91-95?
C) What are the new gears you have in mind for the level cap increase?
D) What about hints for the new trials?
E) Is the new merit system going to take place on this increase, or will it take place at 99?

If I may add a few to your list of questions. I'm curious what's going down with the (Dynamis Revamping part II) and (Daily Reward System) which are slated for this next major update.

I'm also curious about when/how they plan on revamping the assault system but it's not even on the map, so I guess I have to wait longer on that.

The post they made was the most useless info ever. We already knew there's going to be the lv cap increase in next update...some additional info would have been nice.

Hint for new trials: current weapons will recieve a new trial or two to allow them to reach lv 95. The +2 weapons will probably be renamed to +3 (orange box). I would expect many of them to use either gems or a higher number of geodes.

A) When is it?

Good question. All we know so far is 'August'.

B) What are the spells/abilities we will learn between 91-95?
C) What are the new gears you have in mind for the level cap increase?
D) What about hints for the new trials?

You must be a nightmare at Christmas/Birthdays. How about a nice surprise, and let's see what we unravel. It's nice to learn things for ourselves; take part in the race to be the first to level your job up; be the first to find that new spell drop from a NM/chest or NPC; be the first to complete a new quest or battlefield and see what rewards you reap.

Obviously the .dat mining geeks will want to start the race early and be the first to post what they've found, but that's when those of us who enjoy playing the game, and not just following a guide, avoid reading certain threads on here.

Do us a favour, SE: Don't give away the info until after the update has been released!

E) Is the new merit system going to take place on this increase, or will it take place at 99?

I'm very confident with this one, so I'll answer it for you. It will take place at 99.

Yeah, but I was hoping for more information about the Emp weapon upgrades though.

It isn't that, it is that I have a lot of things going on and will be very busy come August 24th onward. I just wanted some info while I'm able to have free time now. That is all. Besides, info never hurts.

I'm very confident with this one, so I'll answer it for you. It will take place at 99.

Which kindof sucks imo. That means another 3-6 months of having capped merits with nothing to spend them on again.

Upcoming BLM spells:
92: Thunder V
93: Blizzaja

Upcoming WHM spells:
93: Boost-STR

Upcoming RDM spells:
92: Thunder IV
93: Gain-STR

Upcoming BRD songs:
93: Ice Carol II

Upcoming SCH spells:
91: Fire V
95: Blizzard V

Almost certainly more for all of these, but these are for sure.

Seems like i came across a video a while back with the new spell animations and it looked like brd was getting a new march as well, maybe equal or better than the other 2 put together, opening up more versatility for your 2nd song (god i hope)

I'm hoping to experience the new pacts before my account runs out due to SE's terrible payment systems.
