@iCygnic: That's what I figured. Knowing Nexon, there will be a flaw in the system to get by on this. I just need to transfer a few items from Scania so we'll see how this new feature plays out and if there will be any loop holes to getting around it.

@Caeg : When you enter the PQ area, your inventory displays as empty. The NPC in there will provide you with potions for the PQ. You can't drop/trade anything in there sadly.

Go play a dual blade and then tell me that they're one of the most OP classes in the game. Also, the revamp doesn't do much for them. It's mostly just updating skill animations.

I wonder how they will have PQs that require dropping items then. This is going to be a huge mess.

Does anyone know if you'll be able to trade in the cross world party quest area?

[quote=xtripled]i don't think you should be the one saying that. It's pretty hard to say they aren't OP when you're dishing out massive damage. Although, we realize that you're very well funded, some people are just blinded by the #'s.[/quote]

Your last statement should verify why your claim is wrong, people are too blinded by the #'s to see how much it take to get it in the first place.

@OmgItsMazz: i have enough common sense to realize that but you have to realize what forum you're currently on. This isn't south perry where you can use reason.

@xtripled: I could've funded a Wild Hunter and hit the damage cap, that would not make Wild Hunters as a class overpowered. Same goes for any class, a handful of super funded characters does not equate to the class being overpowered.

The community manager already confirmed Auction House was delayed again, due to bugs with the search function.

They're not every remotely overpowered currently, and haven't been for a very long time.[/quote]

@Erag0n1: That's very good thinking. They're probably going to block these functions though, most likely end up being "hellbanned" when in these PQs that share worlds.

Can you trade or drop items in the zones? And what happens to pqs that have dropped items?

inb4 this leads to massive amount of duped items changing worlds. Actually, Nexon will probably make those zones, no trade zones (or at least i hope they do).[/quote]

In KMS all items in your inventory are temporarily 'deleted' to prevent stuff like this from happening iirc, and you cannot trade/cash trade any players while in a world merged channel, so that shouldn't be an issue.
