Testlive Patch (26.08.2019) - Battle Standards, New Weapon types, further balancing and more!

This patch is for PC so it doesn’t include anything not meant for this platform. Once it releases on all platforms, it will include some platform-specific fixes and improvements, but we cannot confirm any of those yet.

Hey so I like the idea of the battle standards I’m just wondering if you wanted to host a mixed pvp and pve server would it be possible to have a pve standard that only admin can place to declare a players base pve so that other players are unable to place bombs/do damage to?

hiiiii

Any news on the GODS ? when we can use them again?

or i might did not see it.

But WHY…!? Why would you ‘fix’ this if this issue makes the Sword of Crom unequippable by thralls. Defined as ‘unequippable’ in the sense that you simply wouldnt even bother due to the issue attached to it. So many people such as myself and @zerog here have asked that it be made unequippable by thralls, then subsequently granted a damage buff. It should be a unique mechanic aimed at enticing players to use it (for example, delivering a lethal final blow to a clearly wounded opponent). NOT just a thrall damage accelerator. We only have 2 Crom related features in this game to date, as opposed to around a dozen for each other god. And I had to fight damn hard to have them included in the first place. As such, I want people to actually use it for themselves, rather than giving it to thralls so that it can be used as an exploit.

@Ignasi and Funcom, please I beckon you please do not “fix” this issue; its current state is a solution, not a problem. Instead leave it as is, and consider increasing its damage.

Touch of yog with crevice in the armor and a little touch of oil of the bend over experience and we have an axe with 60 damage and 100% armor PENETRATION :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

assuming crevice works

How much got Sobek nerfed or lets say it in the FC way: rebalanced?

The same with the temp-effects of DLC armors. Got the normal buffed or DLCs nerfed?

Also: is the blackblood skinning knife now at obsidian harvest rate? Was the blackblood butcher knife added?

I would say they fixed it because it’s not a specific problem of the sword of Crom. It does happen also with other weapons so it seems to be a bug which they have to fix for a hopefully upcoming Thrall overhaul. At least it could be one step to improve the AI.

Funcom aldo u made some Welcome changes. Here rude awakening to you about real life battles back day. When Woman/Man being smarter than a Beast anywhere Learned how to use terrain to our Advantage. the Horse crap that you think being able climb in dungeons for our advantage to win fight is flawed this is part of WARFARE period Smart Warrior that uses all to it’s advantage to keep massive enemy from killing them. you let other tell that is exploit if you use terrain to advantage on fight. That the understatement of the Centuries ahead. Warrior using Terrain to there advantage is not exploit is a strategic move to ensure Victory. I see you guys like take away a lot. Warmaker Dungeon Yea we should be able climb regardless of your believes. When i was just a tiny peep squeak you how i dealt with Bully that 6 foot tall & me 4’ 11" tall my age was 14. I made sure he was alone than as he thought was safe I kick his freaking knees so bad he fell his knees than i Literary unleash hell on his face not give that dumbarse a chance get up again. Hiding In spot gave advantage over him was key & after that not single jerk of bully gave me Grief. Not going tell full story since too incriminating. Human have what we call ingenuity without that i would been a target for ever. You want make Game close to real combat stop degrading just cause. OHH on Weapons once you swing a powerful blow to enemy no way they can come back as strong. Fake adds ingame should never be able get up swinging with devastating lethal blows. there ability should be brought down. that when we go behind them & unleash a series of hard combos. Unless you ever unleash real hell on Punks in life you never understand what primal rage lives in you.

yes im afraid it was discovered that this is specific to SoC. A 5 sec delay stealth nerf was discovered in the dev kit on that specific weapon and no other delays were located.

The bug that occurs with other weapons should only occur when you swap weapons (often from 1h to 2h but in my experience not the other way around). There is a workaround for this issue, but it is not the same as the SoC issue.

Normal Armors were buffed to DLC level.
No Black Blood Butcher Knife
Black Blood Skinning Knife is still 7 harvesting power i/o 8.

Sobek Armor:
+8 Vitality for Full Set
462 Basic Armor (no modifications)
92 helmet / 162 chest / 46 gloves / 116 tasset / 46 boots
64% damage reduction (no attribitutes besides the +8 vitality from the set)

Not sure what are the current stats to be honest but the above are the ones from TestLive

So +8 instead of +9 vit.
Helm: 114 > -22
Chest: 200 > -38
Gloves: 57 > -11
Pants: 143 > -27
Boots: 57 > -11
So in total -109 armor. Yeah, “rebalance”…

Compared to epic flawless Aqualonian infantry (DLC!)
Helm: 88
Chest: 154
Gloves/bracers: 44
Pants: 110
Boots: 44
In total: 440 compared to Sobek with 462. +9 vit instead of +8…

So whats the purpose of Sobek now? If we would at least have armor racks/stand to show it off.

So old armor value was 571… now 462. Thats 19% less armor!!! And FC calls it rebalance… smh

Sobek Armor:
+8 Vitality for Full Set vs + 9 Vitality (on live servers)
462 Basic Armor (no modifications) vs 571 Basic Armor (on live servers)
64% damage reduction (no attributes besides the +8 vitality from the set) vs 69% damage reduction (on live servers)
No resistances

Epic Flawless Aqualonian Infantry (unchanged)
9 Vitality
440 Basic Armor (no modifications)
63% damage reduction (no additional attributes besides the +9 vitality)
2 bars heat resistance up to max 5

By the look of it, Sobek has slightly more base armor for the -1 vitality and it has no resistances while infantry is full heat protection (too hot for some areas probably)

I approve the change on the Vehemence Elixir:

Naked in the Volcano + 1 elixir = From Heatstroke to Very Hot/Hot for about 2 min
Naked on the Bridge of the Betrayer + 1 elixir = From Frostbite to Very Cold for about 2 min

No Vitality Perk or anything.
