Surprised....

Well this maintenance we were told that a "surprise" would occur...an event was mostly everyone's guess...and the occasion "ninja 10.v"?

However, even though its not 10.v this event I must say is a really impressive event, its different, its REWARDING for once.

Given getting some of these amazing rewards such as punisher, asoka , ATP etc will take some effort but it is possible...

Making it difficult to get still makes those types of items "valuable" which is why I really enjoy this event, its not "One token: Punisher manual" its probably 50 tokens or something.  Getting tokens I believe is not an easy task.

Well I shall post the patch notes Raiden posted.  I do tip my hat off to you.


..................................................................................................................................................................

The Seeker of Wisdom is waiting in Reboldeaux. He seeks 3 words and will reward handsomely for it.
