Release 23 Instructions

How long would the mask effect last if they are implemented as a potion and would you be able to use multiples of the same mask to keep the effect going?

 

Since this is a full wipe and we can melt down add-ons, when does that take place? Is it the same time that the patch goes into effect? I want to download the patch at the same time I melt to save time. Is that doable?

 

Yes. Essentially when the servers wipe they click a button (*different from wipe button*) that resets the addons. They won't go into claimed status until you login. You can patch without an issue just don't login until you melt them down.

 

To which one of the quadrillion PvP threads?

 

Yup, like a quest in PvP territory

 

@DarkStarr

So what's the deal on melt-downs? The ability to do it is down, but it's not clear that you'll be to do it later if you sign on to R23 now.

 

If i make a char and start at blood river, then delete and aim for highvale, do i lose the exp bonus?

 

The number of people wanting to melt down overwhelmed the servers so we had to temporarily disable it so people could patch and login. Access to the game is our highest priority. If you wish to melt down do not log in! Sorry for the delay but we are working as hard as we can to solve this issue as soon as we can.

 

You should add the "do not log in" part to the account page message.

And also a "we're sorry" part to the added text.

Something like this:

"We are facing some issues right now with too many people trying to convert their items into credits. This page is currently disabled until issues are resolved. If you still wish to melt down items do not log into R23! Sorry for the inconvenience."

 

I think it would be cool that if you did a version of this: you get marked as a "dishonorable" by the game and if you die at a player's hands before you can leave the scene (or if they replace it with an in-game timer, before the in-game timer runs out) then you are no longer flagged....but the killer gets to loot you completely. So if you flag yourself, it's not full loot. If you don't but attack, you risk full loot. Adds a lot more risk to the decision.

 

Did you create one and I missed it, or did you mean a player created thread? I'd much appreciate if @Chris could simply start a thread about this feature, including an explanation and the vision behind it with the predicted progress. Then link to the thread here. That way you'd get rid of it in the release thread and we players would have less speculation and more solid knowledge to comment on.

 

Conversely_if the player announces his intentions to attack before leaving his protected state then the penalties you described won't apply.

 

I apologize if this has been asked already, but was there something about multiple character slots for this release? I couldn't recall. Also, I used to have the extra character slots appear as items in my bank, but I do not see them with this release.

Just wanted to be sure of what's going on with that feature. Thanks.

 

Noted for implementation in R25 : https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/q4-2015-schedule-update.37942/

 

Thanks! Misremembered a detail.

 

​

@DarkStarr , just wondering if we can get name on map with a specific color for PvP Pot's please.

Thank You !

 

Great request. Will add it to queue

 

Overland map would be nice too.

 

"If the Satyrs become separated from their Fauns, they go berserk and attack all other characters (including each other potentially)." -- I've not seen this happen at all. =| Just killed the faun in the Gem Mines while leaving the Kobolds and Satyr alive; Satyr's just chilling.

 

Kind of thinking I didn't notice any added berserk either.
