Release 34 Instructions

So is it still just physical attacks that wont affect someone in the Torpor stance?

 

There is so much I need and want from the cosmetics and add ons to support Flash Quest scenes.

Patch-wise we'll see but I support most of the changes. These are all moving the game in the right direction, and will be clearer for us to comment on in a few hours.

 

I'm still not sure why earth is getting any love like this at all. It makes plenty of sense sun and moon are. Earth is already really freakin' good with all the strength/health buffs and the resists in it. Not to mention how much damage stone fist (reg free), obsidian arrow (reg free) and earthquake do combined with all those strength buffs.

Also, I still think ice field should work like a stun and have a stun duration on it. With the focus changes hitting ice field with a focus increase really makes it hard to justify for how little it helps. I usually find myself running to the monsters so I can kill them, not trying to keep them further away.

 

Spawn increase rate? You have to be kidding, mobs already respawn too fast. I clear an area and can't get the resources gathered before respawn as it was. WTH?!?

 

some areas this was needed i could run around and clear one of my 4 skull farming areas and have to make another half circuit before some would start to respawn...

but on the other hand some areas i would be ninja spawned on while harvesting something right after killing something...

balancing is a hard job

 

Hmm my vision how ice field could be that works only if monsters uses focus to.
A area filled with a field of ice for a while That if you walk over it requires quite a bit of focus (try self to walk over a slippery field of ice you has to concentrate or you slip)

 

I understand. But they really need to hold off, I don't mind death but they really need to think about solo'ers once in a while. I mean archers and mages dragging you into more mobs so you can get quickly overwhelmed is bad enough, now I can't get a full gathering without having to start fighting again.

I guess this game really doesn't want pure crafters.

 

I would say give it a try after the server is back up. If the spawn is too fast, just post on the feedback forum with the specific details on the areas that you find them to be too fast. So that the dev can adjust them accordingly.

Most of the adventure zones I've been to are getting a very low respawn rate the moment we have 3-4 people who know what they're doing and it's at the point where we would have to take turns to kill anything.

 

So many great things about this release, I couldnt possibly praise it all. Thanks so much Port!

Also very glad to know what the heck the "?" and "!" hats represent now! ;-)

 

Is the oracle bonus for the POT retroactive or is the bonus given only if the Oracle building was placed in the town UPON r34?

 

The oracle 500g daily is a Test query - so you talk to the Oracle and she asks you how you think you are doing on one of the paths and if you answer correctly you get 500g and the timer starts ticking for 24h until you can repeat the process. (You can ask how you are doing in the three paths before taking the test - at which point you know what to answer).

So nothing retroactive about it. Just that placing the Confirmatory enables visitors and residents to do that daily in your POT.

 

Oh good thank you Spoon. I was hoping is is like that.

 

Agree with the un-nerf the health/power regen, is a game breaker for me....

 

That part that said ... spell glyph animations were getting in the way of field of view of some players ... all spell animations except for summons are removed...

Sad those cool glyphs have to go although I understand why they would make that decision. However since they still have these animations is it possible to at least get the glyph to appear over the head of an enemy targeted by a spell that roots, mesmerizes or stuns the opponent? Even if their vision is a little blocked so what they are mesmerized or magically stunned. Or whatever. Hate to see some of these cool animations go to waste. Maybe there will be some use in the future.

EDIT: Although it does look good this way in R34.

 

The bone armors was a huge positive surprise for me. Thank you!

 

Seems like they are saying it works like this:

So a cumulative distribution function of some kind.

More information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

Not the classic exponential function that looks like this:

I feel you, my issue with not having it, is that people already think combat looks boring enough already as it is. So here's hoping the new effects are nice!

 

I LOVE THE DIRECTION TAKEN WITH DRAGON ARMOR WELL DONE,BIG BIG KUDOS TO THE DEVS!!
