Will Nexon replace the old Toad?

Well since Nexon is putting in tht dumb new Theme Dungeon you think Nexon will replace the OLD toad?
Personally if they do this they will be taking away something a lot of people loved and make Ele Staffs inflate quite alot

[quote=sleeper6]u guys like it cuz the jq is so hard so theres no one there
PLUS they only appear what, every 12 hrs?
AND the drops are great
NOT so fun for the rest of us F3[/quote]

The JQ gets easier once you get the hang of it. Plus, it's not like the new area is any fun. It's complete garbage compared to what we have now.

[quote=sleeper6]omg, hope they make it easier! grrrrrr
ive made it the jq maybe 3 times, and no one there
after HUNDREDS of times trying

If they "doitdoitdoitDO IT" then the area will become worthless. KMS's version of toad drops nothing good. It drops a crappy 5 to all stat hat(?) and the area has nothing good to offer.

First KMS ruined the Silent Crusade quest line and our chances of getting other world tour areas, but now [b]this[/b]?

I would be pleased if they kept both. Castellan is still challenging for most people if they can pass through the JQ with ease.

I'm not completely sure but I don't think they are removing the old one.
The new one is named differently and is accessible from only the dimensional mirror while the ninja town is at zipangu.

If it does go away, then I would probably miss the samurai boss the most. I had all 19 to myself and kept leveling there during the first week of ninja castle. I also remember hunting them when the monster cards came back out, found the card after killing over 50.
For the toad boss, I remember it taking hours with a gelt chocolate to solo. Now it takes less than 10 mins for both bodies.

[quote=ConfusedSoul]There are a few things, though not really content, just part of content. One monster and an NPC in Neo City are also used on the continent of Masteria.[/quote]

Yup I've noticed that, but this area on the other hand pretty much has copies of all ninja castle mobs, most of the npcs, and a few of the regular mushroom shrine zipangu mobs as well. Neo city only had one monster and npc copied from Masteria rather then copying a whole entire area (including having similar backdrops and map objects).

[quote=thunderbro]If they remove the original zipangu ninja castle with the crappy kms version I will be very sad as the jump quest + Castellion is one of the few things besides events I still do in this game. Since they didn't mention it was being removed, it is possible that it will remain in game and both versions will co-exist even though it is very weird to have nearly duplicate looking content.[/quote]

[quote=Evilcookie33]@Darkstar764: It actually says you can in the update highlights. Hopefully it won't be a shortcut to the real one just like nlc.[/quote]

This gives me hope, that they will both exist. Mostly because this has never happened with anything else before. Saying you can go to it in the portal.

[quote=Evilcookie33]I thought the new castle wouldn't affect the main one since you could now access it from the dimension portal or it was just a whole new place but it was for lower levels. o.o[/quote]

Well that is true if you can access it from a dimension portal.

[quote=ConfusedSoul]The only thing to do at this point is just to wait and see. If they both exist after the patch, then there's a tiny shred of hope left for Neo Tokyo.[/quote]

Oh god, I would forgive Nexon for everything if they put Neo Tokyo in.
That place> Neo City, although Neo City does give a nice hat for those unable to get zhelms/empress.

[quote=ConfusedSoul]Personally I hope not, because they'll be screwing people over out of even more cards, and they'll be taking away one of the few good areas left in the game.

Except that it's a different Castellan, so chances are it won't drop the card.[/quote]

It'll piss off a lot of people.

[quote=SlovakHocky]@GraveJokerR: Yeah I agree. They messed up phantom forest very badly. They messed up the training curve very badly. They messed up potentials very badly. They are making this entire game way too easy for a single player and eliminating the need for teamwork.[/quote]

Although, this change to Castellian might not be that bad.
Now you won't have to waste time doing a jq just to find out the emperor guy isn't even there.

It took me around 1 hr to kill the stupid toad (huan and toad forms) but this was before my revamp. I was also a lower level than it was that time so i missed.

I dont really care about the new things that comes out since that hat is pretty much useless. there is nothing good about it.

[quote=chucksnorris]May i ask why ele staffs would inflate alot ? O.o[/quote]

I think 4~6 Diffrent ele staffs/wand drop from toad. And basically there price will inflate of low supply

@eyedrop: Kinda pointless a Zak helm a Scar helm or a level 40 helm (12+main stat).
