The One About My Bellem's Box

I was looking at the November poll for My Bellem's Box and was pretty surprised to see that Lucifer's Wings vs Karjalainen's Accessory Boxes are having a close fight of 106 vs 139.

What really surprised me was that people actually prefer Karjalainen's Accessory Boxes over Andre's Costume Boxes. I would have thought that Andre Costume Box is a way better deal in comparison with Karjalainen's Accessory Boxes.

I was having a casual chat with one of the IMC programmers on MSN and he was telling me that in our current version of V2.1.18, Andre costume box drops everything cosmetic - hair costumes (wigs), back costumes and body costumes.

Once we hit V2.4, Andre Janzur would have come to the conclusion that fashion diversification is a no-no and decides to go down the road of specialization and focus solely on body costumes. Thus, Andre costume box will no longer drop all things cosmetic but will only drop body costumes while Karjalainen's Accessory Boxes will drop back costumes and wigs.

Well, I guess the reason why people are voting for Karjalainen's Accessory Boxes could possibly be that it might drop other hairstyles and back costumes not yet available in our current version. But hey, V2.4 is just round the corner! Just 2 months more. We have already begun work on localizing the new text and probably will be going down to the voice studios next week to begin work on the voiceovers. Tentatively, we are trying to get V2.4 released just before Christmas, so keep your fingers crossed! V2.4 is a whopping 1.2GB patch so you can imagine how many more updates there will be!

Anyway, not to digress, coming back to Lucifer's Wings, it gives an ATK rating +1, ATK +10%, Max HP +1,000, Additional ATK +10% against Humanoid and Beast, Restores HP by 5% of each damage done to enemies.

What's not to love about that? I do love cosmetic stuff and all... but I love power and pwning even more.

And Lucifer Wings pwn. Big Time.

I think one of the reasons why people like Karja's boxes as opposed to Andre's, is because Karja's will only drop back costumes and wings and wings, and what not. A lot of people just want wings and back costumes, some people are hunting for their rNPC hats/headgears, or maybe some just want glasses. It's great that there will be two now, so if we want costumes, you buy Andre's, if you want wings, you buy Karja's. Though it'd probably be good to have a pioneer package with 10 andre and 10 karja.

Also, Hrin do you know if Archangel Wings will drop from andre or karja boxes anytime soon? They are the big white angel wings, much bigger than divine or the current white/black and pink angel wings. I want those so bad. @_@
