Oh good, thanks. I hadn’t seen any information about it so I wasn’t certain.

I have a quick question for those who played Test Live. Can you transmog into “no armor”?

No, you have two slots in the bench: one for the armour with the stats you want, one for the armour with the appearance you want. I tried leaving the appearance slot empty with a helmet in the other slot and it did not transmog. Once you have the two slots filled, you hit “go” and it merges them into one - so you lose the “appearance” piece and keep the stats piece - but its icon is now altered so you know it’s transmogged.

Pity. Hey, @Ignasi and @Dana please make a note somewhere in your community management something something that we want to be able to trick our enemies into believing that our characters don’t wear armor with “no armor” transmog option. Pretty please!

No, but there are several armor pieces that practically are “nothing”, e. g. earrings or the Darfari loincloth.

I think the ideal would be that you can only change the appearance with another armor of the same class for example only between heavy, or only between light but not combine light with heavy

Hidden (?) changes in 3.01:

  1. Armor can now be transmogrified even if you don’t “know” the recipe. Tested with Redeemed Silent Legion.
  2. You cannot have summoned Demon follow alongside human thralls.

No 1 is great, No 2 makes demons a bit useless. Rarely bothered to use them even as an addition to thralls, as they died so easily. Don’t see much reason to use them as a single follower - even T4 Exiles are better.

Are you sure you didn’t have Creative Mode turned on by mistake when you tested that? That’s the only time I was able to transmog something I didn’t know the recipe for.

So, what was the +3 AGI on Set’s Tongue converted to? The bonus is clearly gone but the item description doesn’t have a +damage to agility weapons or anything like that.

I went back to main client for first time in weeks last night, to set up my new server ready for 3.0. I had forgotten completely just how clunky the old building system was. Especially irksome was having all the clutter back in my hotbar. It’s soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better now. Cannot wait to see it go live and I am even looking forward to microtransactions. Note the word is “micro” not “macro”. It’s not MASSIVEtransactions, Funcrom. Make sure your marketing execs and bean counters behave themselves. Most of us long time players are happy to support the game and put a bit of money into it as long as you do NOT get greedy about it. Ok? Ok. :smiley: I will buy everything if it’s reasonably priced - I will buy NOTHING if it’s over-priced.

:smiley: so i dont understand one thing - i downloaded half day devkit ( i guess it should have been updated) but the installing ( or well first time opening it) now are like 86% and well not frozen or so but 
 not starting :D? thats ok or my pc is too bad for it?

I’ve been scouting the official servers on live. All the servers are old, over built, with plenty of lag and latency; hell I got better ping to outer Mongolia then I do the US G-portal servers. Every POI with villagers has half a dozen Alcatraz sized bases around it. And blocked paths everywhere on PVE, it seems to be the thing to do.

This is going to be fun. Not sure I want to participate in the disaster or wait for the aftermath.

Retracted.

Visited Well of Skelos:

  • Degenerate didn’t spawn, just as others reported before. After moving away and doing the fight a second time, he appeared and fought normally. Not sure if that is new with 3.0, the encounter always had problems.
  • The Serpentmen had a texture problem: After being hit, half their robes turned bright red. I think the blood texture is a bit overdone or applied to the wrong parts.
  • Some chests seemed to be missing loot. One was completely empty, others had unsually little content, such as 7 crystal. Seemed to affect the chests with general materials, not the gold/silver loot list.
  • I had some trouble building a light or medium set with enough heat protection for the Volcano. Settled on heavy (Champion, Silent Legion) instead - was okay for my character’s build, but may be a problem for some.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet but the Dancer Corruption bug has indeed been squashed.

WooHOO!! Now what we REALLY need is for some dancers (a certain type of dancer if ya know what I mean) to ADD corruption while others still remove it. That would be cool. Or maybe the Cimmerian dance could remove corruption but the snake dance adds corruption, and you can toggle them on each dancer by changing emotes. How cool would that be?

Klael’s Stronghold:

  • Floor in the first corridor leading to the arena had some bright pink textures.
  • Undead Dragon was stuck in the wall.

Pet followers:

  • Tried a white tiger follower. The reduction in health makes them
 very, very vulnerable. Animals were too fragile in 2.8 imho. In 3.0, they’re glass cannons - though even the cannon part is questionable.
    A white tiger is an above-average pet follower, argueably one of the strongest, but it’s still barely usable. Bosses cleave it two with a few hits.
    Pet MAY be more useful with the “Well Trained” perk, as they scale quite nicely with attributes. Still
 human thralls seem just better by a long shot.

Transmog:

  • Transmog does work with all armor now, wether “known” or not. NOT a creative mode function.
  • It is, however, not possible to use damaged armor, neither as the illusion nor as the base item.

They didn’t change PET values - only thralls were nerfed or i am missing something?
Obviously level 1 pet will die in few hits on strong boss - you need to level it a bit, get authority if needded - pets gonna be a bit weaker than thralls as they don’t make you gear them.
