The preview says something about an Alien (alien pet), a dragon (Evan) and feathers of an owl (Dual Blade).
They added an image and if you look at the source of that image, it says: zizenquest_evan&dual.jpg

Evan and Dual Blade at the same time? This is interesting.

[ShiKage]

Nope. It's just another shitty event that they do 2403484710387 times a year before patches.

Seriously. Last year, they had at least 9 months of only event patches with 3 months of actual content added to the game.

Actually, after reading the JP over a bit, I think Evan might be in this next patch. Dual Blade? Yeah... I won't get my hopes up. I'd say the chance of getting Dual Blade in this patch is one in a septillion.

Well, it says owl feathers, which refers to the teaser quest for Dual Blade.
I wonder if JMS will get the new login UI in this patch since CMS and TWMS are getting it soon.

[ShiKage]

If anything, it might be a prequest for the Dual Blade patch. Did KMS have one of those?

I'll be extremely surprised if Nexon Japan releases Dual Blade.

Then again, this might be just another ploy to make money. I bet they're going to do what GMS did with Evan and have the mastery books for both Evan and Dual Blade at EXTREMELY high prices (at least 1,500 NP [$15 USD]) and not even have the books drop in the real game.

[Polantaris]

Of course, right when I decide to just say screw it and not wait for the Evan class (Which is a class I actually liked when I tried it out on GMS before returning to JMS) they are potentially going to add it in a patch.

[ShiKage]

LOLWHAT.

Okay... I think I'm going to redownlaod JMS now.

[Donny]

I redowned it, BUT I can't find a working proxy anywhere.

[Spadow]

Every job has a prequest. So does Dual Blade, that's why they mentioned owl feathers. The owl feathers are part of the prequest for Dual Blade.

[ShiKage]

So, these are only prequests, not the actual class? :<

[Spadow]

So, these are only prequests, not the actual class? :<

The first image (silhouettes) clearly shows that two new jobs are coming soon (http://spadow.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/two-blades-that-divide-the-darkness/), they will not be released. At least it's confirmed that both jobs will be released soon, as you can see from the first image.

I don't know any Japanese, but doesn't the preview tell you basically that there will be a Dual Blade prequest (owl feathers) and Evan prequest (remnants of the dragon master)

Anyway, I really like the Japanese font of the Dual Blade logo.

[Donny]

I like it too

[ShiKage]

Sooooooooooooooooooooo........ Dual Blade and Evan will be released right around the time KMST ends. Sounds good. I guess I'll actually have stuff to do once KMST ends. :P

[Donny]

The new UI in KMST looks really good, I can't wait for that and the exp update to hit KMS, I'm also looking forward to trying out dual blader on JMS as well.

[Kobe]

lol after seeing the Japanese Evan and Dual blade writing i though Japan was gonna get it first outside korea

[erich336]

well, maybe we'll get evan this patch, and DB next patch. there wasn't any true preview quests for evan in the first place.

What? There were preview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Oh7Cz4EvE) quests. You have to look for the remnants of the dragon master.
And the preview notice of JMS says the same thing.

I don't think GMS got it. o_o

[Max]

GMS got an altered version where the Everyday Event boxes gave out the items that you originally had to collect. In the GMS one, they also came from Gach iirc, and you had to trade in all of them for a special box. The original event had you collecting the items over the span of a week and at the end you would get an Evan dragon equip.

[Polantaris]

Hopefully this means that JMS won't be insanely behind for much longer.

Donny: Sorry I can't help with the VPN thing, unless you want to pay for one (which is illogical if you can simply turn it off once the game starts). Did you try Packetix (Or whatever it's called) and the other ones that completely replace your Internet as long as the app is on? I don't know if those are banned or what, I'm just going based on what used to work. You can also try HotSpot Shield if all else fails.

[Bates]

brb buying hundreds of dirt cheap dagger scrolls before they skyrocket in price

[Donny]

I got in thanks to Justin, and there was just Anton and I on, does anybody else go online?

Oh BTW, I just got a free pet! You guys should join they're giving stuff away when you logout, I had a choice between 子いぬ（茶）, Safety Charm and Henseys face coupon(REG). So I took the puppy! He only picks up meso though :(

[Bates]

So who's coming back for dual blade?

[ShiKage]

So who's coming back for dual blade?

I am. :P

Though... I don't know for how long. It's going to be painful not being able to afford the mastery books. I hope I can find a way to make money in time.

[Bates]

Yeah same here, I guess I will hunt for scrolls and stuff. Hope for the best. I guess I will level up slowly, but oh well

[TheYD]

So theyre getting Dual Blades next patch? and when is that? July 14th? :l

[Kobe]
