Thread: Patch 2.5 Preliminary Notes Discussion

Aether Wheel is fail. How disappointing something that seemed it would be related to crafting is nothing more than a secondary method to obtaining actions o_O like really. That's just how disappointing lol.

While true, this is not what I was expecting out of Aether Wheel, it does broach some interesting questions. For instance, why? Despite what some people may say, the dev team is not stupid, they know at least roughly how resources flow through their game. Thus it seems unlikely that they would add such a system when you can already afford the best company actions in the game almost full time without too much difficulty (though I do have a relatively active FC, so my mileage may vary). My assumption while reading this is that they are freeing up resources for later. That being, they want FCs to have spare company points for some other purpose down the road. Unlike tomestones, company points are a lot more generic, and could easily be used for future company projects, such as Airships, for instance.

This is just the 1ST update to it, there will be more and it WILL play a role in Airship building l8tr.

Yeah I'm expecting the fully charged wheels to be used as a crafting catalyst of some kind.

As far as I know airships use Aether to move around and the wheel is like an aether storing device while the Docking Station loads the wheels, so I think we can imagine the wheels as a reachargable battery and the Station as a loading Station (pure assumption of course, could be 100% wrong)

Hairstyles available for other races.


Does anyone know if based on last patches, does this mean that these will be available to all races or just the ones in the image?

Based on previous patches, they become available for all the races, not just the ones pictured.
