TestLive Patch Notes (03.07.2018)

Yeah! I’ve noticed that there were many parts were you had to check if you were allowed to talk or show us certain work in progress.
Showcasing community work and contests is great to watch too. Would giveaways during livestreams be possible in the future as well?
Looking foward for the next stream :slight_smile:

Toned down the amount wolves howled at night.

Whyy???
That’s the most beautiful thing about living up north, please Funcom do not destroy immersion for the North region… We all rp players beg you…

I haven’t been on the test server yet but just from reading the patch notes I see something that sounds a little off.
It’s about the Silent Legion armor. I am talking about the insane Armor amount and the ~70% damage reduction. That armor surely is a big convenience for everyone who enjoys tanking every single hit and does not give a damn about avoiding any kind of attack. It is heavy armoured, yes, you just have the side-jumps if you don’t choose the right traits but it’s still huge.
I have no problem with these things, since it gives a certain player base a big comfort zone. However, what is up with the following point:

  • Armor penetration kit bonus was lowered from 15% bonus armor penetration to 5%.

Please tell me, that I just did not find the Silent Legion Armor nerfs but reducing the armor pen bonus sounds like an insane buff to that armor. Can someone please explain the thoughts behind that to me?
That would be no problem if Glacier Crack would still provide a nice 70% armor pen but that sadly belongs to the past.

Could be also the fact that there are currently only 4 armorers capable of crafting Flawless Epic sets in game

That gives you only limited ammount of sets to compete with SL and the only heavy available in Flawless Epic is Hyrkanian … with full accuracy stat

Silent legion needs some kind of severe corruption like penalty. I say corruption like because if and when sorcery makes it in sorcerers would be near invincible.
Just some kind of side effect to hamper it.

Where did you get your Epic Hyperborean Slaver Armor from? I thought the recipe isn’t in the game? How is the Thrall named? Where did you get him/her from? Or did you spawn the recipe/him/her in?

Or are you talking about the basic epic armor, not the flawless epic armor?

basic epic yes 151515151515

Yes the basic Epic is where I found that recipe also. Currently you can’t craft any exceptional / flawless Epic armors and I have spawned in all of the name T4 Thralls to see if any can craft it yet…nada…

Could you please do the same for crafters in New Asagarth and Mounds of the Dead? Having to go all the way down to the central desert to get an armorer who can make Flawless Vanir or Flawless Cimmerian armor is ridiculous; the named armorers for those need to spawn with their tribe and to do so a lot more often than once very 20 or 30 trips. And ditto on frequency for The Summoning Place: B’naru Heavyhands is spawning where he should, but it takes way too many clears to find him.

Great! Now how about reminding the Legendary Armorer how to make Flawless Hyena-fur?

Or, ahem, change the Legendary Armorer into a Khitan armorer

Good changes though. Thanks for listening and fixing the other armorers and crimson lotus.

I’ll try to test the purges fixes more

Title: God protection bubble

Hi gents,

Tested for protection for a while…the bubble never and after 36 hours. Even with only one archpriest you can do several protection and bubble spam your base. It is also really heavy for the server To manage that amount off bubbles. The gods are also unbalance…damage side.

Repro :1.pretty easy To reproduce

Thx

i’m happy to here ‘Fixed collision to prevent building base inside…’ but. what about stuff already inside these locations?

are cheaters still gonna be able to get into their base? But now legit players that wish to remove them can not build in that area to remove them (beds/bombs/thralls)

i worried you have just cemented the cheaters into a safer position. can you give me more info?
