Finally.. maybe now it actually is better to stay in HV/SI, cuz of the free haste, full mp/hp heal, and full mp/hp restart.

Before it wasn't worth your time to walk for almost 5 min to get back to the mops... Better to just walk 5 steps outside SKT and kill goblins...

10 seconds and not 12 seconds
thank NCI for not copying the korean servers exactly on that one
wonder if this means we can cast other spells besides b2s and b2m after casting it
if so
I think it is a great thing
if not
more ppl will flame on
remember, NCI doesn't tell every exact detail when they publish something new
they always make changes we aren't aware of
so we'll have to wait and see...

Just what #18 said.
thibz if you poly a fire warrior into a goblin it still is a fire warrior, just in a different shape and swing/cast speed. It still has the same HP and does the same damage.

Well you could maple bosses, but that was long ago. You could maple and tame them, kill them, then res them. And that would reset them to the original form. It was actully funny when caspa team was tamed and released in gludin.

B2S was too good anyways. You all should've seen this coming from miles away.

"Aggressive monsters will now always be aggressive when morphed by players."
I'm probably way wrong, but I think this could be a typo, and they really mean that agressive monsters will be agressive to players, whether or not they're morphed. That would make sense, even though everyone would whine, and it would make some popular hunting areas (like the Lair Of Valakas) less crowded.

Thats what I am thinking they mean too. If so, this may piss more people off than the soft ac nerf.

Hehe.. anyone else dissapointed there wasn't a "Now, the Uber-awesome changes to the LOA server, only" section? hahaha Yes, I realize this list is only for test publish... but as I was reading, I couldn't help drooling about what NC may have in store for LOA next. ;)

Funny how they fix the scroll selling scheme just now AFTER its apparent FL/SOL won't get the castle back! Only CCgirl is allowed to make money.

Way to go CCI, I mean NCI!

The double standard on this server makes me want to vomit.

Quite frankly, there is noone to blame for the b2s increased delay but ourselves. If more people had bothered to visit the message boards and make thier opposition to the change known, it may not have come into effect.

And it could be worse. The koreans are stuck with a 12 second delay.

The newbie area zone is pretty cool.
About the 10 second b2s delay, does that mean you can't cast any magic after you cast b2s?
Something you could do would be to cast greater heal whenever it will heal you to max HP and use B2S right away. Then kill a monster and you should be ready to use greater heal and b2s again.
