Gamewatch Interview (Translation) for upcoming 3.5 and 3.55

http://gamerescape.com/2017/01/12/ga...-3-5-and-more/

Didn't see any threads discussing this. If I happened to miss one, my apologies. In any event, there are some interesting notes to digest with the upcoming content.

• Zurvan Extreme will be tuned closer to A12 Savage.
• Jump Potions will not be implemented before 4.0 and will not be bundled (ala Legion).
• Aether Oil and Umbrite nerfs unlikely before 3.55. Both were mentioned though.
• Proto Ultima will release in 3.55 and drop accessories.

They weren't giving boosts out for free at Legion, it came with the price of the expansion. SE doesn't have CE items out for free, you pay for them. That's the same with Legion and the boost.

Hence why I said ala Legion. It's intended to imply a bundle, which people discussed on the jump potion thread.

I am tired of umbrite, and honestly just tempted to quit the anima weapon. This is way too brutal, and starting to get way too distracting in my life. I really don't understand why it's supposed to take so long. :/

I'm... Not quite sure if they have the right of what people primarily didn't like about Diadem. I mean what he says in the interview is sort of sound reasoning, but the more I think about it, the more like it seemed to be Duty Finder-centric problems with Diadem that he noted.

I'm somewhat relieved that they put some thought into how to improve Diadem, but still a bit puzzled on their line of thought... Maybe I need to reread that segment a few more times.

I honestly don't think Zurvan will be close to A12 difficulty. More a long the lines of Thordan most likely. Anytime they mention how hard a fight is they are never right.

I don't see anything about Proto Ultima. O.o

Where is that??

Because these will and always will be grind weapons, the accomplishment is the fact you finished it, that being said, it's my BiS because we all know schs need accy and se refuses to give it to us.

Could always raid... If you can't do that due to reasons you may have then you need to grind simple as.
