How do you guys feel about the revamp?

Well since we got the official date, how do you guys feel about it? What are you gonna do with your buccs/sairs now?
I know I can finally use wings without dcing, and not use that ship anymore since it does lag people and it's not mobile at all (though it was still cool to have)
Thoughts?

edit: I'd have to agree with everyone, nexon screwed up with putting the jett since its THE EXACT SAME THING AS CORSAIRS. But they gotta make money right? And guys, now or never? But all that counts is that we can finally have fun and train again and the ship won't be lost forever, IT WILL BE A MOUNT . I'm not sure if we get it for free though

[quote=biyomon3]I remember when the revamp came in kms, everyone hated it because buccs and corsairs looks lame and unoriginal after it.. seems like i'm the only one that still feels that way. [/quote]
No offense but you don't even have a sair or bucc so your hating a revamp for a class that you don't even play.
We really needed this boost to somewhat be decent xD.

The more I think of it and get excited about I, the more I get pissed at Nexon. I mean why did they have to release Jetts? They are so greedy. If Nexon hadn't released Jetts, we would've had our revamp with the thieves. Just thinking about it pisses me off.

Im glad its coming, but I will never forget how much nexon neglected pirates. They prioritized other updates and new classes over us, leaving us the 2 weakest classes for so long.

Nexon handled this with very little professionalism. It doesn't make any sense to me as to why it's so far back in the summer, but I'll take it nonetheless.

The sentiment of everyone can be summed up to "Bout friggin time." No ones happy anymore, and the hype is gone. Right now its just stewing anger that Nexon SERIOUSLY needs to watch out for. On the surface things are ok but just beneath that were ready to strike if s*** doesnt go how it should. I for one am still just sitting and waiting, however i will not be boycotting NX or anything like that. Ill be sticking to my weekly regiment and perfecting my knuckle and cubing my items. Im not going to gush NX into the system either however.

[quote=Momijii]I can't think of any reason why the Pirate revamp isn't with Azwan other than potential bug fixing or adding some substance to the patch in-between the DB revamp because that patch is almost like a pre-BB patch, adding nothing of [i]extreme[/i] "necessity" (in my opinion). But I can come up with some speculation as to why the order was different. EDIT: I actually came up with one other possible idea involving JETT. Essentially giving people enough time to make a JETT before releasing the Pirate revamp then disabling her creation so it's less awkward. They milk her while they can since she's a solid job first through third at least, and then they close character creation for the Pirate revamp.

So, they announce that there will be two new heroes in the biggest content update of the summer. Ideally, you would want to lead with these two heroes as it'll be earlier in the summer and the most people will be playing. Of course, you can't release two characters in one patch or else people will have to pick and choose and then there's potential revenue lost. So they go with JETT because she's "exclusive" content and no one has seen her before. There's a fair amount of hype surrounding her. Of course, Pirates and Thieves are outraged that their revamps aren't leading the Justice/Renegades update so they're mad. In efforts to appease at least some people, they add the Thief revamp because it'd just be awkward to have the Pirate and JETT revamp at the same time. Naturally Phantom follows up. Releasing a revamp here would force people to pick either making a Pirate or Phantom, and since Pirates can share Cash Shop, they'd potentially lose profit since Phantom doesn't have an obviously as stellar first to third job like JETT. (Of course the counter would be that the Pirate revamp would bring people back). Being another character with his independent cash shop, the typical damage hoes deck him out. Naturally Azwan is last because it generates a lesser amount of profit. Why the revamp isn't here, no idea. I cannot think of any reason at all. I honestly expected it to be here. So then, where do you move the Pirate revamp if it's not with Renegades? Well you can put it with the DB-revamp/Hilla update, which of course would peeve Pirates more than they already are, which isn't entirely the best idea. There's a small update in-between Azwan being released and the DB-revamp/Hilla update which is seriously lacking on content. Put it right there and the Pirate revamp comes sooner than the DB-revamp/Hilla update and Pirates are happy that they've finally gotten it. By then JETT should be character creation disabled so it's less awkward, as well.

Only reasoning I can think of.[/quote]

Even though I don't have an Adventurer Pirate, I find the delay a complete b.s.

Pirate Revamp was supposed to come with Thief Revamp, but because Nexon didn't do that, every1z like complaining and complaining.

dude , imagine a 150 speed 120 jump Battleship that can use Fussilade while moving, like a WH. Thats what i wouldve done if i was Nexon designer. And Keep the skill TORPEDO and change its design, make it like a MMs Pierce where u hold it back and blast.

There's an update between the DB-Revamp and the arrival of Hilla that is just a Dojo and Silent Crusade change along with a permanent addition of Golden Temple. I have a feeling it's coming with that update since that update really lacks substance.

If it doesn't come with that update, I just don't know why it was late.

I'm happy that we're getting the revamp, and that we have a date now. BUT, that happiness does not even come close to being compared to how bitter I am about how Nexon went about with this whole thing.

They made a mistake, a big one, and got their cronies to stall and troll the Pirate community. More so, their recent updates caused many glitches that crippled Pirates more than they already where without the revamp when compared to other classes.

I really hope that Nexon actually steps their game up with this revamp. There better be very little glitches surrounding the Pirates in general with this update, otherwise Pirates everywhere will be flipping tables. >.< "Here's your revamp, but we sorta screwed up so you still can't add SP to your skills or use your skill books. We'll fix it in our Server maintenance two weeks from now. Hang tight. "

OT: A month and a half ago still would have been nice. Two weeks before school is probably enough time to tamper though.

My main is a pirate, answer your question.

The feeling is numb... because you've been toy'd, thrown under the bus, stalled just to finally wrench out a set date from Nexon staff. Way to satisfy your customers!

Yeah, for the most part, I'm not as excited as I could have been. The wait made it less enjoyable.
Thats not to say that I'm not happy we're getting it at all, but geez, there was no good reason to push it
so far back. In terms of buying nx, I never really do that much in the first place, I'll think about it if things
start looking up.
