They are totally out of balance! Just take some and broke your opponent weapon and armor. -10 durab per part per tick…too OP for such low price and no skill to use

Hey everybody, Quick update: we’re releasing a hotfix soon with some changes to acid arrows. We’ve reduced their durability damage to 1 per tick (from the current 10). We have also fixed an issue that would cause them to cause damage outside PVP raid time. Their crafting cost will also be increased. The hotfix will include a few extra fixes to other issues. No ETA yet, but we’re aiming to deploy it soon.

[image] Shinrai: They do dmg in pve, but will harm your thrall armor and your own. The damage is weaker than poison arrows. Gas mask does NOT protect against it. According to the hotfix they will only damage thralls during raid times. As PVE doesn’t have raid times than they should not damage thralls on PVE anymore. That was my point. Meaning PVE players still have a reason to care about them.

Every post I’ve seen from a PVE player is saying leave them how they were prior to the hotfix patch. The only use they HAD for PVE was to grief other players thralls. Sadly that’s the same use in PVP. But now that PVE is hotfixed to avoid that they effect PVE 0%. The dmg to NPCs is useless, poison arrows do more and don’t strip your thrall of armor. Gas mask question was irrelevant. It’s PVE, unless there is some random NPC wearing a gas mask I’m unaware of. And your final one is in the latest hotfix. So please enlighten us on how or why PVE players would care or need to care about acid arrows.

Shadoza: Not truth. All modes are important and involved. If I want to use Acid arrows against bosses and NPC why should I not be allowed? You are allowed to use acid arrows whenever you want to, but they only affect players and their thralls, other than poison dmg but you already have poison arrows fot that.

Shadoza: I don’t have any poison arrows. Its a lot easier to craft than acid arrows :stuck_out_tongue:

[image] Shinrai: and don’t strip your thrall of armor You just answered your own question. It damages your own thrall through a gas mask and strips your own thrall. And I wasn’t aware the hotfix was already live on consoles. Pretty sure you can stack things like gas, acid, and poison arrows too.

Its one cloud per area from my testing. Which means one tick per second. These don’t seem to stack or overlap on an existing cloud. So you have a cloud in one area and the acid arrows seem to overlap them. But they overwrite the existing cloud. But that does not stop you from blanketing the entire area in clouds. Counter: water orbs negate the acid. Washing it off essentially. Ymir Arrows could add a splash water effect like the orbs. Making them useful for a change and giving them a reason to be made. So add the water orb effect to them. Have them wash off the acid. Least favorite would be having healing arrows negate acid. They take Aloe and Aloe was used to treat burns. Either way. These are my suggested counters. Even in their current state. edit: or. Add one sloughing fluid mixed with water orb to make cleansing orbs. Soap orbs essentially.

No clue if the hotfix is live on consoles. They have to go through a cert process to deploy patches on console. But back to the point. Acid arrows in their original state or their current state don’t affect PVE players. In their current state they don’t affect PVE-C players other than “hey don’t stand in a cloud when PVPing”. But in PVP even in their current state of costing more and doing less they are 2-3x less time consuming than repairing a SINGLE thrall’s armor presuming the thrall doesn’t die and the armor isn’t lost.

The acid arrows effect thralls on PVEC from what I have read. They initially always did and I havnt read anywhere else that they have changed that. My server seems to have sworn off their use. So we don’t see them. I’ll test on one of my poorly armored suckers and report back.

So what you do now is go after thralls with Set Masks. Then you use poisonous gases. And then you gas out the masses. (The humans are dead.)

First, Barnes, my apologies, since I do not PvP, but I do not understand what you just said. I can’t find any advantage of the Set Mask over the Flawless Epic Heavy Helmet for a thrall. What am I missing? Regards jim

The change was that acid arrows will not do damage outside of the PVP window.

Acid arrows no longer do damage outside PvP Raid-time
