    Also, " I didn't set those guys up and something might be way off."

    Isn't there a team involved with development? Or did some rogue programmer come in and play some prank? At some point the team should be taking responsibility for the team.

    If I go into a McDonnals and tell the manager that the Soft Drink machine is broken, I don't expect the response to be "Not my fault!"

    There is no Easy. According to the announcement, the current version will be the "Easy" version.

    Hopefully, once I can actually take a look around, there will more to it than just "pretty scene."

    Yeah this is something that bugs me about lately, all we hear from Chris is :"someone did this" or "unity broke this", but never "we made a mistake". They don't even own up to their faults, it is always someone or something else.

    This excessive damage issue was reported in the QA forums 3 days before release, but as usual, the posts in the QA forums were ignored.
    It is amazing to me that chris seems to have heard about this today.

    So, business as usual:
    1. No guidance on the things that need to be tested in QA (cryptic tweets from chris are not a satisfactory substitute for s post in the official QA area of the forums).
    2. No response to bugs posted in the QA section
    3. Bug reports ignored so significant problems make it to the live server.

    There is absolutely no point in testing on QA.

    If this is how it's going to be, why not just not spend valuable time and resources on having a QA server at all?

    The difficulty of those creatures is unintended. I'll have them patched by tomorrow noon.

    Also, sorry. I didn't set them up or get a chance to test them thoroughly before this went live. I'll whip them into shape for tomorrow.

    Fine, YOU didn't test them, but your playerbase did : https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...s-hitting-for-around-3k-in-a-t10-zone.164034/. Like others have asked, why even have a QA server if you guys completly ignore bug reports, copy paste your QA build to live, and then act all Pikachu Face when people start reporting it on live as well... Get your **** together, fast, because your players who have stuck with you for this long are getting fed up, big time.


    People report T12 mobs are too strong and hit for 3k on QA...

    Dev team uploads QA build without fixing it and people report that T12 mobs are too strong and hit for 3k on live

    From feedback it sounds like an actual group instance you'd see in other games

    Tank takes aggro
    You get aggro as a Healer or Dps you die from dumb


    Could easily go at this another way

    Solo and Group Daily quests on that guy at the entrance

    1) Return 10x Shadow mob pelts to me
    Reward - 30 Crown of Obsidian

    2) Kill 30 Crocodiles
    Reward - 30 Crown of Obsidian

    3) Gather 5 (Unique Cotton Bush drop from Spindelskog cotton only)
    Reward - 30 Crown of Obsidian


    Tier 4-5 for solo / Tier 18 or whatever for group

    Group quest has same rewards except better quantity - 50~ Crowns per quest


    Just a general idea

    There is a quest from the npc at the entrance to the zone but it's just to kill a "pale one" and bring him a thingy. You can do it once a day for around 55k exp.

    I finally was able to get shadowy spider alone in an open enough area to kite it long enough that I didn't die.

    17 gold and 4 corpse wax.

    I know loot scaling isn't working yet... but outskirts skeletons drop better than that. C'mon, man.

    EXACTLY lol

    Who the hells gonna log on and say Yeah Lets go do a daily quest for 55k exp!

    Dailies are supposed to be an easy / reasonably fun / profitable thing you can spend some time doing every day when u log on


    30 crowns / 3 mil xp per quest or whatever is good xp these days

    Plenty of other rewards you could offer



    Honestly it's so blatantly obvious a couple of daily zones would greatly improve the PVE content available to players

    No idea why this kind of stuff isn't in-game

    It doesn't feel like a very big scene, either. Though, it's hard to tell, because I'm sprinting through with Dash, and not stopping anywhere to get my bearings.

    Which will be ~27k once double XP gets turned off. Which, to put into perspective, can be earned by mining 10 t5 nodes and killing half of one of those t12 shadow spider things.

    I wouldn't say that the impatience is about this specifically, as much as the recurrence of the same mistakes. It wasn't but a few months ago when Chris was saying they'd re-evaluate their monthly schedule, and try not to rush releases out the door to the point that people are having bad experiences. Yet they're still doing it. So this specific issue isn't a world-ending catastrophe... it's more a symptom.

    This still hasn't been done I am assuming. My uber tamed pets with 3.4k hit points get 2 shotted. Is that as intended?
