The 5 of you who came to our deed had it to bleeding in 20 seconds and dead 20 later, doubtful its any kinda strong with less than 2 people 1 limit seems fair any less and there is no defense when people aren't on you guys had no issue taking on our 1 templare and 1 tower guard. Now repairing seems a little op compared to bash timers but you guys tore the 1 templare down way to fast to say they are to strong and we should have none....................

Posted October 30, 2016 Quick restart to change following: - Epoch advance - phase 1 - reduced rock shard requirement from 64,000 to 24,000 shards. Planned future updates will give us a few more options to make further changes. Trying to do so without increasing the grindy part of getting stuff there while keeping the goal of the epoch advance to something that takes time to complete. This may also mean that shard requirement could reduce lower still - undecided at this point. Epoch rewards are also available at a very low chance, nothing OP in the rewards. - Club skill maximum limit reduced - unanticipated player usage of 45 ql clubs that come with trolls in combination with drawing the trolls to spirit templar on deed to kill the troll for the players. No real skill involved so reducing for this epoch anyway - maximum templars allowed on a deed increased to 2 - 1 templar was not strong against 5 with clubs. With reduction of club max skill this will be monitored and changed again as appropriate if now too much in favor of defence - fixed a bug with "nearby tunnel too close" 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your templar was wounded when we got to deed, The respawing templar every 2 min were pretty much 3 hitting people. We could bash for a min or two before we had to back out from deed.

Posted October 30, 2016 Hello Nappy. Want to suggest you a few ways to lock each epoch. I think all of them should be doable. But even if not, we still can discuss them, as I am a programmer and can understand if there will be some technical issues and help find workaround. The main idea - is to force people to make things they are really needed anyway, just those things will designate cap of current epoch. So it will not be a waste of time for anyone. Build a specific (wood, stone) house, that have a X floors and top level have at least Y square of floor. Or it should be a Z amount of such houses. Have X amount of money on bank account. Build X kilometers of roads in total. Sail X amount of some specific boats (Sailboar, Knarr, Caravel) into some specific places simultaneously and when do so, in each place a pillar appears, which should be destroyed or something like that. If some boat left that special place - pillars disappear. The main goal is to force people make few top-level boats and have some people to drive them. Grow X tiles of plants in total. Grow Y player planted trees to overaged stage. Come in some place wearing X sets of specific armor, while all that armor parts should be <current level cap>+Y QL. Defeat some boss. Also it's good idea that boss spawn a minions say 1 minion for each player in a specific area per X minutes. So players have to find out optimal amount and kind of attackers, build a strategy. Also boss can drop a some rare items, so players of different Kingdoms can still fight for that loot. Sacrifice at specific altar X amount of specific tamed animals. (This one probably don't give anything to players, but still not so boring as digging rock shards) Hope it will be enough for now, may be later I will come up with something else, if you interested of course. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks for reporting. I can't find anything in the server log about this, but it's not working anymore as you described. A server restart should fix it. A new version of the mod is almost ready to go, so we'll see if it's fixed then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The respawns are on a fixed timer not a timer after they die, so the time it takes you to kill it includes the respawn timer I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 31, 2016 Can we increase the amount of spirit guards on the spawn deeds or lower the spawn rate of aggressive creatures? I can't move anywhere and I'm being camped repeatedly on the start token because the one spirit guards keeps dying trying to fight off the endless hordes of mobs coming at me.

Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I will increase the number of templars at the starter deeds. The goal is to help people get a start.Increased to two for now. Also cleared out a few trolls and hell hounds that were sniffing around a bit too close. In case /support is usually a faster way to get help btw.

Posted November 1, 2016 I still think 12k was a solid number for rockshards for the first epoch, On a side note, Server does not show in list for me now. it did before the update. Something that got changed with update i assume? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something that got changed with update i assume? We have plans for Phase 2 of the epoch advance improvements that should lead to less transport grind while making the overall goal useful. Server goes in and out of the list. No idea why, everything is setup in accordance with the directions. Had a similar problem with Des3 when we ran on linux hardware.
