Thanks for answer, understood. But unfortunately this is so sad, because I spend a lot time to find my followers…

How come u have not fixed the bow pen bug all u have to do is shoot arrow s kill yourself and repeat till you’re arrows have 100% pen I’m very unhappy that u don’t fix these problems this is game braking bug and it’s been 4 days and it s not fixed think if had enough .

The main problem is: Why do previous things have even ANY influence on NEW things.

The thrall 100% -> 40% bug for example.
The healing effect is also caused by soothing stacking

And the arrows the same. Why is there even such a mechanic in the game??

GodsOfExiles · 2019-12-11T19:22:04.798Z

Most weapons are now no more value if you find them.

The bastard sword has only 51 DMG from 64 DMG now

jot29 · 2019-12-11T19:57:16.634Z

Really? Omg… I got one 2 days before the patch and didnt mod it…

Have to check…

But why this overall nerfs for weapon? We players make way to low dmg against bosses anyway…

Edit: yeah… only 51. Was that even in the patch notes?

@Hugo or @Ignasi is the dmg reduction of the Lying bastard sword intended or a bug?

Also the durability is lower? Only 1350 anymore? Why??
AP is also nerfed. From 23% to 9.5%… woow…

Why do you nerf a UC weapon?

To clarify on this, it was an intentional adjustment that was taken into consideration with the changes to 2H swords that have been shared in the patch notes.

Always remember that any constructive opinions regarding balancing changes are very welcome! Do post these in the Suggestions board and we’ll be sure to bring them up with the developers for further consideration should there be enough traction gathered through the post.

jot29 · 2019-12-12T16:12:40.356Z

Hugo:

into consideration with the changes to 2H swords that have been shared in the patch notes.

And thats why it is the only 2h sword which got nerfed?

Even tough it has the moveset of an Axe and you wield it in 1h? That explanation didnt make much sense (to me)

And you have to understand: This weapon was and is still a pain in the ass to farm!! I had OVER 500 fragments of power until I got one.
I never saw a thread that ANYONE complained about that sword.

So, no, I dont understand this “balancing” at all. Not even 1%.

Edit: Made a new thread. And didnt word it bad (at least I hope it

Nitushon · 2019-12-12T19:38:20.853Z

Pls, fix the bug in the smite and armour benchmark, and size of character and thrals. is hard to do some itens with this bugs, and how to work mount? i dont see any advantage in pvp, just more fast to run, i think its help a little with damage, but is just? or help in another atribute?

sestus2009 · 2019-12-12T20:27:03.075Z

TheThey are working on the work benches next patch most likely

jot29 · 2019-12-12T22:55:33.739Z

I have another question.

The changelog says that:
The critical hit from Doomhammer and Act of Violence and Sharkbite is now much less severe.

But ingame not any of this 3 weapons have crit chance as effect/bonus. Is that a visual glitch/error or is the crit chance completely removed?

Kyle2391 · 2019-12-13T10:08:25.493Z

how about removing that new dodge mechanic you guys added, there is no use for it unless there are extra levels to be able to do such for some of our builds on attributes. Come on think about what your doing to your own game, your just making things worse for it in the long run if you keep doing stuff like this.

jot29 · 2019-12-19T14:23:22.658Z

Any news on the updates for consoles?? PC got 2 while consoles got 0… And several people asked already and we gotten zero replies…

sestus2009 · 2019-12-19T15:06:38.951Z

Yeah I am on now hoping to find something out. Time off and no reliable game. It would suck if I played on official server.

jot29 · 2019-12-19T15:08:26.472Z

What ■■■■■■ me off the most, is that Alex and Jens in the last stream talked about, how they should interact more with the community and they will do it, to improve the game…

But we get lesser replies compared to before this statement.

Tselem · 2019-12-19T22:02:08.558Z

The issue is that sending fixes for PS4 (I do not know if Xbox share the same burocracy as Sony) is a long procedure, becasue Sony itself has, somehow, to validate it before it can be applied and downloaded.
But this issue brings me to a second issue that is pretty ugly in a certain way.
Fixing thing on PS is fast, you can find the error and change it almost instantly, in less than a day I presume, for consolles (only PS4?) this process becomes long even if you find the bug immediately.
So not having a correct debug team is a problem for us “soniacs” ‘cause if the patches comes out untested with new bugs and issues (as almost always) we have always to wait before we can have a fully functional version.
This is not very “pro” lemme say this with no pun intended (okay, maybe a lil’), correcting issues on PC is fast and relaible, on consolles not so much, so to avoid all this time of wait and confirm patches should come out without these problems.
Some of them are really evident (like the uncropped image in the menu), I do not think is possible that no one didn’t see that. Come on really?
It’s not a big deal, but says much on the “controls” that are made on every patch.
Anyway we have to wait for a more stable version, currently as a singleplayer offline, I’m not able to paly due to the loading issues in nearly every aspect: rendering, enemy camp not appearing, equipment not ready (enemy and character) etc etc:
I’m sorry 'cause I’d honestly liekd this new thrall system and the movement renew, needs some tweaks ok, but the idea is good, but I can’t play the game if I lose the progress I made due to “memory lag”.

Hope for the future.

Niraksu · 2019-12-23T12:15:21.749Z

When the update be released on PS4?

sestus2009 · 2019-12-25T12:07:15.513Z

At this point we would have been better off if mounts had been held up to January or later and the bugs removed before release. I have been tolerant of bugs in the game. Playing from day one purchased all dlc renting a server over a year. I feel many people would be happy to wait on new dlc go through extensive testing. Or give new dlc to PC only since they can be patched quickly. I prefer waiting for my console edition being released later with out bugs.

jot29 · 2019-12-25T15:20:42.581Z

This was my fear all the time… mounts getting released during holidays and then left in a bugged state until next year (century!!! ).

And the 2 hotfixes didnt fix all bugs on PC…

sestus2009 · 2019-12-25T18:47:15.394Z

I not a funcom fan boy as most who have read my posts have seen. Just try and be fair especially to our hosts on the forum. But damn things should be tested before release especially for consoles since we have no immediate opportunity to get patches
I still would have bought the dlcs and been happy not to have all of the###### Glitches understanding why people are getting P.O. and feeling Shist on
Now I am going to try and play the game. Thanks for letting me relive some steam

ETA on Readjustment Patch for Consoles? General Discussion

As per each console platform’s requirements and procedures, it’s not been possible to deliver the patch on consoles due to certification processes as we’re not the only company going out on vacation during the holiday break. Due to the immediacy of PC patching, we could sneak in a couple of hotfixes before the holiday break. The original plan was to release the patches at the same time on all platforms as we’ve been doing lately, but this time around it has not been possible. Our current plan …

Does anyone know when FC is back in office?
