Elevation Revamp

Following discussion and a poll today we launch the new Elevation with a new map and many adjusted mechanics. These features only apply to Elevation with home servers keeping the usual mechanics. The Epic cluster will go down at approximately 9pm GMT for a quick restart with the following features enabled:

  • Elevation now has a new map with new starter deeds:
    • New Hope – Jenn-Kellon – North East.
    • Ignis – Mol-Rehan – North West.
    • Doomspine – Horde of the Summoned – South West.
  • Maximum digging slope has been reduced to 150 .
  • Maximum surface mining / tunneling slope has been reduced to 60.
  • There now needs to be a minimum of 3 tiles between mine doors.
  • A deed will disband automatically after five chained deed drains.
  • Meditation abilities over level 9 have been disabled.
  • Hate Damage Bonus Now Increases lockpicking chance.
  • Element Immunity now only lasts 5 minutes down from 30.
  • Characteristics and Fighting related skills receive less combat bonus in the higher levels(scaling).
  • Removed rare bonus from boats(No replacement for now).
  • Rare horse gear now takes less damage instead of granting a speed bonus.
  • Horses give birth faster.
  • Fresh Item Pool, cannot cross items from home server to elevation and back.
    • This is enforced with a player lockout if old items are found trying to be equipped or used. In order to resolve this a GM will be needed to remove them.
  • Border crossing will be disabled, travel only available via portal.
  • Trader contracts will not be purchasable and traders cannot be placed.
    • Traders will only sell Res Stones/Large Magic Chests/Sleep Powder/Shaker Orbs and can only be found in your starter town.
  • While item ban is in effect cross server mail is not available.
  • Increased cooldowns on Truestrike, Stoneskin and Continuum
  • Physical damage resistance and penalty effects from sorcery items changed to fall damage.
  • Karma home teleport has been disabled.
  • No new champions, current champions will be dechamped without the stat loss and will be given 70 faith.
  • Hell horses and Unicorns cannot be hitched or ridden.
  • For the first month moon metal from magic chests are removed, and a hota win offers slightly less than normal. The chest drop table has also been edited to include flint and steels and compasses.

As usual encountering any bugs or errors is best handled by reporting via the server bugs forum if not sensitive or ticket ingame if sensitive. Abuse of any of these mechanics or bugs can and will lead to harsh penalties.

 so i have a question here. could you please tell me how the kingdom change should take place if the border crossing is disabled? eg yes i can teleport from JK home to JK in elevation, using portal, but how do i then teleport to MR home?

 

Also new item pool question. so how do we transfer items one home server to another if we cant bring them on to elevation which is the middle stop anyways...

Kingdom change:

1. Use the portal from Serenity to Elevation

2. Get converted to MR

3. Go to Ignite and use the Desertion portal from there

 

Regarding items: all are stuck on the current home servers for now.

My questions: what is the final item list that is allowed to portal with?

Spyglass, sleep powders? Anything else?

cant we just have a special portal in home starter deeds to other home servers, that portals us with the inventory items to another home server converting to that kingdom automatically too? that would solve a lot of problems

Just a note for everyone, sorry I should have made things more clear on the portal.

You must be totally naked and have absolutely no items on you except ones listed below.

 

The following items go through the portal on epic

Spyglass

Sleep Powder

Shaker Orb

Res Stone

 

If you have anything else on you please trade it to another account for now, I will be looking into better solutions in the future.

 

As far as home server transfers with items go, there is unlikely to be any way for the time to do so.

What happens if you cross with a personal merchant contract for a merchant that's placed on a home server in your inventory?

 

Usually that contract wouldn't travel with you to another server, but will it break things when going through the portal to new Ele?

Looking into the hand mirrors

 

The lockout will last as long as people want it.

 

It shouldn't let you cross with the merchant contact currently, you would need to trade it to another account for now.

And what happens if you trade a merchant contract that's in use? What happens to the items on the merchant?

 

Edit: tested it out, it looks like the account you trade the contacrt to has full access to the items still. I.e. they don't disappear.

 

I think that must have been changed, as I seem to remember them disappearing when traded before!

oh yeah and hand mirrors cannot be traded over either. So I'd say that is a showstopper for toons that have it on them if cannot be brought over.

Will be a patch before launch to let them through, thanks for bringing that up.

How else would it affect you, are you mailing stuff from JKH to MRH or something 

the only option is from a home server to elevation anyways

Question is, how can one come from a home server to elevation smoothly? I am Freedom player, have crafted a few things on Desertion, partially for looking around, partially (very few) for journal goals. Ok, my rowboat went poof with old elevation, so what .. 

 

But do I have to strip naked and throw all stuff which is not 100% starter equipment onto my cart before using the portal? Or is there some kind of "Customs check" before I get stuck?

The portal seems to become unresponsive as you approach. You are carrying too much. Try removing 6 items from body and inventory.

Only carying a spyglass and a non droppable mirror???

Seems tabs in inventory counts as items... 

Down to 1 The portal seems to become unresponsive as you approach. You are carrying too much. Try removing 1 items from body and inventory.

indeed i am. it sucks ass forgetting few very important supreme/legendary items in the bank at old home server once kingdom was changed, then waiting a month purely so i can convert back to retrieve those items, only to find out that when im 1 day left to convert back, elevation server is taken down. no biggie one thinks, few more days.. and boom, new elevation without possibility for me to retrieve the items left behind for god knows how long. id say thats pretty important for me for those tools alone, never mind my 3 merchant contracts got frozen there too.. aint paying 30 silver once again for something i already have...
