OT: More BMW stuff

Many forums have offtopic posts so I'm adding an offtopic post on my blog. As some of you may or may not know, I've been waiting a while now for the new BMW 3 series hardtop convertible (E93) to be released here in the states. A number of orders have already been built and are awaiting shipment to the US, and they don't even have pricing available yet! ARGH!! I have been waiting over a year for this car to come out!

Anyhow... I'm planning on taking European delivery of the car when I order it (if they ever come out with pricing!), and the more I read about it the more exciting this trip seems like it's going to be. It turns out that BMW is also building some huge delivery/meeting center - check it out at http://www.bmw-welt.com/ . Wow...this is going to be one fun trip this fall/next spring! The last time I was in Europe was when my wife and I went on our honeymoon in Ireland...and that...well...wasn't all that recent!

Bah...fine here's one L2 related comment- My favorite part of Draconic Leather Armor on Dark Elven Females:

OMG WTB Interlude already!

Waiting, waiting waiting. Is it just me or does it also seem like this is the longest that a PTS has been out in Korea that hasn't gone live yet? Or maybe the last two have just been abnormally short. I can't quite tell.

In either case, so much stuff to look foward too. A whole slew of new top a grade weapons... I think I might have to join everyone and sell my soul bow while I still can, because clearly the new Shyid Bow with Focus is going to blow away today's soul bows...coming in with a higher patk clean and a better SA it's not going to be a hard sell. The new A grade duals aren't really a huge improvement still imo...Wish they would just put focus on a pair...looks like they're just super upgraded keshes...attack speed bonus, high patk and a weight bonus. Clearly seem to be aimed more at bladedancers than gladiators with the weight addition.

With the exception of the duals, they state that all the mats and recipes for the new top a grade stuff is going to be available via quests and stuff on Dino island, which appears to be the only major landmass being added to the world of Aden. Fortresses for smaller clans also look like they should be interesting, I counted about 20 or so I think on the last PTS map I looked at...hopefully some of these will produce the various recipes for the MANY new accessories!

All in all, I'd say the most anticipated thing in interlude for me though will be the weapon refinement system. Let's hope those life orbs won't be impossible to get.

Welp, that's it for this week's randomness! I close with a photoshopped image of Aleena as a human- Happy Friday everyone, as a old friend would say "Good luck, and good drops!"
