• Shark distribution should improve
• Seals, Tortoise and Crabs may now spawn

 

 

. . . . . . . 

<3 for the new mobs, but are they not going to simply effect the distribution negatively likes sharks were?

hehe crying helped

[aamanus 1,488]

Sad that it's two handed now, but love the new model.

[Elen 1,013]

Crabs crabs !

[Delakar 277]

Great news! Thank you!

 

Slightly worried that without individual caps we might still end with issues as everything then spawns at crabs and turtles etc though.

Looks awesome, pity 2handers show as 1handers though, think it'd be a nice improvement if they were shown as 2handers

Increased creature spawn rates and max numbers

 

 

Assuming/hoping this is xanadu specific. The smaller servers have plenty of mobs atm.

Chaos has bugger all mobs, they all seem to be in enemy lands >.>

[GorgonKain 355]

Shark distrabution fixed!?! On the day I was going to hunt them for weapon skill!

Nah but seriously, fantastic work on all accounts, can't wait to have some crab legs for lunch.

Who said the Hammer of Mag is op? o.o The damage should be buffed on it to bring it in line with the Sword of Mag.

 

Here is a picture of the Sword of Mag on Chaos:

Where is the discussion that the Hammer of Magranon was considered OP? as one handered?

Player interactions

This is an area we have been falling a bit short on and I know that many of you have opinions on how this should be done.

But let me just start of by saying that processing the amount of information that thousands of voices create is no easy task, especially when it comes to long debates around topics.

For that matter, grading the sense of urgency different topics have from your perspective.

And we want to be has fair as possible and give everyone equal attention and chance of being heard.

 

So in the interest of this, we are enlisting help to process the suggestions thread. And yes, a group has already gathered for this though it is still in the process of formally starting.

This will help us to get more summarized suggestions with pros and cons from a player perspective, cross kingdoms and pvp, pve standpoint.

Those enlisted will only help propagate suggestions from the forum and will not make new suggestions themselves in the group.

As suggestions will be summarized with points from everyones perspective any bias will find its balance from other parties.

 

The next step in this is also that we are now working on the ingame voting system, which will help us quickly get your feedback on straightforward questions and changes.

We do not have and estimated time of arrival right now.

 

The goal is combining these two initiatives.

We will get presented with your suggestions and can make a fair and quick judgment from the extra information on the complexity, benefit and time the suggestion would take to implement.

After reviewing a few we will know which are doable within our current time frame and we then use the ingame voting system to let you decide which among them you deem most important.

We will then keep this going and as soon as we have time to do another one we will poll you again for your next priority.

This process will of course be refined as we get into it and it will all be adapted in the interest of  making your involvement as big as possible.

We will not force it on anyone though.

 

We will no longer be taking any suggestions through IRC. Everything will need to go through the proper channels.

 

 

So what is going on? are we to expect more balanced changes under the guise of a 'group' that is decided changes for the rest of us? 

What are we to expect next, 1 second extra timer for Longswords? damage reduction for glimmersteel? What other balance decisions will be made without us being notified or at least discussed with the rest of the player base, from both Chaos and Epic? 

 

I've used Hammer, many JK have used hammer and they themselves said that it was not worth using.. now it is two handed? 

 

Whether or not you agree that the hammer is OP because it is a artifact is not what i am saying.

What im saying is WHERE is the discussion that decided this weapon was OP as one handed?

Duh. they're waiting to make that one 2 handed as well.

[Postes 5,282]

You mean to say an artifact, a one of a kind fantastic item, the only one of its kind, that you have to dig up from the ground and recharge monthly.. is op?  No!?  You don't say?  I think equally an item you right click and Use that pops out 90ql+ gems is a bit overpowered too or an item you use and it fully heals you in a second with no timer.  That's just what they are - op, because they're artifacts, they're one of a kind rarities.  When there's only one in existence of course it should be unique and stand out above the regular weapons.  

 

To be honest as someone who has used the Warhammer pre-buffs and after buffs I didn't see it at all being that strong of a weapon.  The one real perk it did good damage and was 1 handed, you may as well just use a LT 2 handed maul now, it's the same thing.  You completely took the uniqueness of it being an artifact away.  

 

Sure the HoM may do a lot of damage equal to a two-hander, but guess what?  It blocks and parries all the same, you're going to go down just as quickly if you're focused as if you were using another weapon, it's not by any means a weapon that gives a player god-mode.

What Posteh said, hammer of mag is completely useless now.

[Postes 5,282]

Not useless, but it's hardly unique.  You could cast LT on a 2 handed maul now and receive the same results.  

[Oreo 5,793]

Apparently Hammer of Mag doesn't have LT.  Has FA now.  Or am I wrong.. Again?

not seen any of the new creatures yet
