Here the first part of what was said at the press conference. Special thanks to xxxxiangxxxx for processing the pictures!
- Freya is still considered as part of CT 2, so-to-speak a "Post Epilogue". (NCWest should have stuck with "Gracia Plus").
- Three kinds of Social Emotes that involve two persons will be introduced: two characters bowing to each other, high-fiving, or dancing as a pair. Just in case someone does not want to dance, there will be a confirmation window popping up on the screen of the prospective Emote partner.
- Three new varieties of 80+ armor and weapons will be added (it is not yet clear at which precise level they can be used). This new equipment will come with light effects, either emitting a glow or having changing colors. It can be obtained from the new hunting grounds and the new instances.
- Vesper armor will become craftable. Recipes and key parts will be supplied in the same way as with Dynasty equipment, i.e. via quests resp. drop/spoil.
- As announced before there will also be new Raid Bosses in this update, the main one being of course Freya herself, in an instanced dungeon. Here an inside view of her castle:
The Ice Queen herself is paralyzed/frozen solid, so players are fighting her champion, whom she supports with freezing spells, similar to the Frintezza raid, where actually Scarlet van Halisha is fought.
- Questions about the level cap were not answered. More info about that is expected in the course of the next year.
- Because blunt weapons have a good accuracy, their crit rate will not be adjusted (OIOFJI, being a Dwarf, regrets this very much).
