I'm not sure if I missed it or I'm misunderstanding, but is alexandrite needed for novus? If so, how do we obtain it prior to 2.3's monster hunts?

Hunts wont be the only way to get it. Can probably get it from retainer, treasure maps. Rare drop from primals, or such.

If that Paladin Weapon was really the Novus Upgrade then it is really disappointing that it's simply another Recolour+Glow Effect...

It's the relic wep, that you make stronger, through various means. you don't remodel it.

You want skirts on guys? I don't think we really need crossdressing....

Skirts were traditionally male clothing...Kilt is a variation.
And dont confuse your personal opinion, with what lots of other ppl may want.

The next LIVE Letters are both from E3 second week of June as advertised in this morning's Letter. Parts 1 and 2 of 2.3 Preview. Seeing as both the previous major updates took place more or less immediately following the second LIVE Letter it's safe to assume 2.3 is the week of June 16th. Likely June 18th if not the following Wednesday (25th).

I dont think they are going to bring 2.3, within 2weeks after 2.28.
But well i meant July, not August. I was guessing shortly after the FATE at end of June.
There wouldnt be much to talk about, if 2.3 came before FATE. since it would be to soon to make any announcements about 2.4, or even 2,35 or such, for that matter.
But then again, they are probably gonna release any information regarding 2.3 at E3 anyway.

So sad they can't even keep their promised vague release months now either, with 2.28 being pushed back to June 2.3 most likely delayed until the end of July if not the beginning of August, guess it really was a mistake to get another 6 month sub.

2.28 is a largely QoL patch. It's delay won't necessarily affect 2.3. I don't see why they wouldn't release two patches in 3 weeks. They way their system works they cant easily roll two patches into one and it doesn't make sense to delay 2.3 just for the sake of spacing out the patches. The only reason I can see would be to maybe give people time to work on PVP progression in prep for Frontlines and that isn't the greatest excuse.

I heard that was just the first half, it had me semi interested and not full.

[Luxx]

That's really disheartening....they pushed back 2.28 twice now. :/ ...
Did they say why?
Well it still gives people MORE time to get Atma's and a handful of people have their first one by now
lmao, people are already working on another or more. That sucks. I hope this doesn't really effect
2.3 status.

This is another reason why I do manual subs and not have auto-renewal or paid in advance.

[RazeLandale]

everyone should wear skirts

With the lalafels around I'm not convinced anyone should.

Why would you feel 2.3 will get pushed back that far from just a handful of days (7) that 2.8 is getting delayed?

[Lithera]

2.28 was never delayed. They pushed the Novus upgrade from 2.25 TO 2.28. I wish they had elaborated more on the delay other than saying office issues lol I don't think it'll affect 2.3 though unless 2.3 is somehow idling waiting for the QA team to finish with 2.28 and green light it.

My personal experience with vague terms like 'office issues' is usually people taking vacation time, maternity leave and things like that.
Although, it could be something like an office fire too? That'd be interestingly outside of the norm
