Ok Ignasis just for the purpose of clarification, 1) exactly how many HP per second will Soothing grant after this update? And 2) will it cut out if the player begins to take damage?

Nice…
It’s more then useless with 33% Armorm Penetration compared with all the oder better Weapons :stuck_out_tongue:

Pssst…
You forgot to destroy the World Braker :wink:

Could we have more clarity on what has been changed with the oils as well as the annihilator? and why?

Because you could 1 hit anyone with the annihilator with the new downward swing

Drat! I like(d) Annihilator :slight_smile: - but not my main go-to weapons - and I am definitely not telling which they are… lol

(Great getting this patch out)

I had a couple of reports like that already too about vanilla base game building pieces causing client crashes when placing them…

so far black ice items, hardened brick ones too ( foundations and fence foundations) …
something seriously broke in the building department :confused:

But the update didn’t touch anything in the building system I suppose, well just adding dlc new pieces only. That shouldn’t have been a problem at all. This is wierd and probably going to take some time to solve.

now the new master armor patch work fine? dont it less 1500 durability?

edit i supose that yes… reading again: (and fittings items.)

So, we now fight cimmerians (star metal weapons) with only iron weapons?

based on what i heard from some of the modders there have been made various changes around buildings… i guess those changes are what affect us now… in a not too good way :confused:

explain how ?? i’m again really lost by the nerf of annihilator …

Changing the recipe for hardened steel to require black ice is going to make life for people not living in the snow much harder. Black ice is mostly located in hard-to-reach areas and in extremely cold locations and requires said people to have cold armor and/or gear that they never or very rarely use. Also people that live in the southern areas are probably more than the ones in the north that use hardened steel weapons and gear

This decision is not practical, very limiting, and biased. It favors the north over the south. I suggest you remove this requirement or find an alternative solution.

Err… You can get Black Ice in the south, either from Ymir Altars or from the frozen corridors of the Warmakers Sanctuary dungeon.

(the latter being admittendly an end game location)

But:
That you only require one bar of steel now instead of two makes more then up for it imho.

@Ignasi FunCom staff may need to be in hiding from many Modsters… (lol)
Lots of prime-mod fails. Oh well, that’s what alcohol was invented for (ignore that if you are less than 16 years old: alcohol is very, very ,very bad for you…)

Crash to Desktop every time i tried placed vanilla-items :woozy_face:

@Ignasi Am afraid I got the ‘Fatal Error’ crash when trying to place an Aquilonian foundation. I hear that many core-game pieces (on PC) have been affected? (guessing you’re all fully aware of that) Watching for the next patch.
