Making the market cross-server doesn’t sound that bad actually.

The new class is DRUID, am I right…since you guys mentioned “rooted” in that blog, right? :joy:

The new crafting system is kinda intriguing here.

Wishful thinking mode…

  • A way to upgrade set items into 3 affix / 3 magic
  • A way to change the colour of sockets on rings
  • A way to extract / apply set item “essences” like we do for legendaries
  • Legendary ranks above 30 (I’ve been capped on these since January 2024)
  • Helliquary levels above 70 (I’ve been capped on these for almost six months)

The concept of cross-server cluster marketplaces sounds good. However, I worry that this will make it even harder for players with alts to transfer platinum and gems to their mains. It seems likely that there will be more bots designed to snipe goods put up for low prices before the player can switch characters and purchase them with their mains.

Isn’t the “new crafting system” simply the Enchantment system that has already been released?

This was also my first thought, but the Enchantment System was introduced with the mid December update. So it would be a really cheap move by NetEase, to refer to that in the January to March part of the Roadmap.

Don’t think so.

Blizzard just released a short video to hype DI upcoming crafting.

Prob a bonus feature in their eyes as this can negatively effect the market as a whole.

That was among the least helpful game related videos I’ve ever seen.

Well, at least it tells you it is not “Enchant” feature that everyone believed it to be. :laughing:

And with today’s release the crafting system seems like a dud. But at least we have the essence QoL updates.

It wasn’t that bad actually.

But there was a lot of missing info in the English blog. China Blog is more detailed and gives more information.

[Eye of the Abyss New Season: Elf Forest]

  1. On March 20, the Eye of the Abyss will start a new season, in which players will enter the Elf Forest to meet challenges.
  2. Elf Forest is a new dungeon level, where four players need to work together to prevent the elf leader from escaping. After completing the challenge, there is a chance to obtain legendary equipment with the power of a new demon.

[New scene mechanism: Voice of Destruction]
Baal, the Lord of Destruction, was expelled from the Sanctuary of the Origin, but his influence still exists and penetrates into the minds and hearts of the island’s residents. Anyone who stands under Baal’s shadow will find that violence is more likely to fall on them, and the strange mysticism of this island will reward their most dangerous behavior.

Voice of Destruction:

  1. Players can activate the mechanism on their own and fight to their heart’s content in the coastal hinterland of the Origin Sanctuary.
  2. Participating players are randomly assigned to two camps to fight against each other.
  3. Both sides gain points by capturing flags, defeating enemy players, and defeating monsters to compete for victory.

Open difficulty: Hell 3
Participation time: 12:00-1:00 the next day every day
Participation method: Go to NPC Shreve in the Source Sanctuary. Note that at least 6 people must join before the gameplay is opened in order to successfully open it.

[New Mode of Holy Trace Battle Song]
Mode Introduction:

  1. Both sides attack and defend each other. You can use the portals on both sides to quickly attack/defend, and escort the friendly goddess statue forward while preventing the other side from escorting. The first side to escort the goddess statue to the enemy’s Ancient Heart wins.
  2. There are 3 progress points in the escort. When the escort phase countdown ends, if the number of activated progress points by both sides is the same, they will enter the [Final Battle]. The first side to activate the next progress point wins.
  3. There is an ancient guard in the center of the venue. The defeated side will gain a powerful buff.
  4. The rewards for participating in the new mode are the same as the classic mode, and the two modes share the same rank score.
  5. During the opening of the new mode, you can invite team members to form a two-person team. When matching, the strength of both sides will be matched with the stronger side.

[Added multiple passive skills to familiars]
The following orange passive skills have been added, and they will only appear in the Chaos Refining results of the corresponding familiars.

  1. [Cursed Land]: Pale Flame’s active skill is replaced with Cursed Land, which selects an enemy, deals damage to enemies around him, and dispels 1 damage reduction or shield effect applied by the player’s professional skills or normal attacks. When the familiar is a subspecies, the cooldown is reduced.
  2. [Cursed Land·Disarm]: When Pale Flame’s Cursed Land is successfully dispelled, the enemy’s normal attack damage is reduced for the next few seconds.
  3. [Cursed Land·Disarm]: When Pale Flame’s Cursed Land is successfully dispelled, there is a chance to gain the target’s dispelled damage reduction and shield effects. 4.
    [Ice Storm]: Storm Mask’s active skill is replaced with Ice Storm, which adds damage and cold to the enemy for a few seconds. When the familiar is a subspecies, the cooldown is reduced.
  4. [Ice Storm·Extreme Cold]: The cold added by Storm Mask’s Ice Storm will gradually deepen, and after stacking several layers, it will freeze the enemy for a few seconds.
  5. [Holy Flame Field]: Shadow Claw’s active skill is replaced by Holy Flame Field, which continuously ignites enemies around the character and removes the character’s frozen state several times. When the familiar is a subspecies, the cooldown is reduced.
  6. [Holy Flame Field·Self-Ignition]: Shadow Claw’s Holy Flame also ignites itself, losing a certain amount of health and removing the frozen state several times during the skill.

none of those refer to the new craftings but I was kinda hoping for something green related oh well.
