Upcoming patch sneak peak ep 3 - Zones.

[San0 2428]

Episode 3 - Zones.

 

The goal we have in mind for the future is to continue working with Goddard region, This zone still has a lot to offer when it comes to zones to be unlocked (WoA, HS, FOG etc), and with all this zones there's potential to make something cool from it. Although, we feel is not time for a new zone yet and that Ketra/Varka are still not living up to its full potential so we decided to work on it a bit more to make it more interesting and worth for players to venture into this place.

 

With next patch we are making some minor changes to the zone (increased spoil chances etc) but also some a bit more impactful.

- Champions.

Since the release of this monsters we have been receiving some reports and suggestions both positive and negative, we decided to study the positive ones and learn from the negative ones and try to figure out a way how we could make this mobs relevant, without being annoying for some of the people, and make them more interesting for everyone.

With next patch, the following changes will be made to Champion monsters in this locations.

- Champions will now give double EXP/SP.

- Champions will no longer attack whoever they see right after they spawn.

- Champions will have small chance to drop EAA and EWA and higher chance of spoiling EAA and EWA.

- Champions will no longer spawn from the weaker mobs in this zone, and from harder mobs chance to spawn them was slightly increased.

With these changes together with other changes that have been done already since they went live, we aim to have this monsters being something that people will want to hunt for but at same time make them not be a nuisance for the solo or small group that is just around farming some badges in the weaker mobs. 

 

- Soldier Badges

We understand now that we were too conservative with the badges feature, being it on amount its needed and on drops, But we decided it was better to start slow and if not perfect later boost it, then starting too high and later have to go and nerf it (contrary to what you guys like to think, nerfs are never fun even for me xD). Now that we spent some time with the 'conservative' option and we got the numbers, we studied them and realized we can go a bit lighter on this, so some changes coming to the Soldier Badges situation. 

- Soldier Badges will be possible to trade.

- Researcher's Guild Box price decreased from 500 to 300.

- Hero's Badge conversion cost changed from 50 to 40.

And as a little extra in here the Heroes will also have their EXP/SP doubled.

 

And we still have more new stuff in Ketra and Varka zone.

Since our reputation with the Researcher's Guild keeps increasing due to your amazing job working with them, they will offer to you a new item for trade.

Researcher's Earring.

- Researcher's Earring will be available to whoever finished the quest and have access to the trading option for the Researcher's Box.

- Researcher's Earring will have the cost of 500 Badges.

- Researcher's Earring can be upgraded on NPC Fiero using a item you can get from drop from monsters in Ketra/Varka.

- Researcher's Earring can be upgraded to lvl 10.

 

LVL 1 STATS:

MDEF:51
MAX MP:19
PVE DAMAGE: +2%
EXP/SP: +2%

 

LVL 10 STATS:

MDEF: 61
MAX MP: 39
PVE DAMAGE: +10%
EXP/SP: +10%
SKILL MP CONSUMPTION: -4%
HOLD RESIST: 10%
MENTAL RESISTANCE: 10%
POISON/BLEED RESISTANCE: 10%
PARALYZE RESISTANCE: 10%

 

This item will be useful for PVE and can work as a poor man's entry jewels for pvp and Olympiad if you are not one of the lucky ones walking around with epic earrings, being this one of  the reasons why it was made a earring and not other type of jewel or other type of item.

 

 

In addition to this LoA will have some monsters having their levels slightly increased and EXP boosted.

 

To sum it up, better champions, more EXP, more items, new items.

 

Stay tunned for episode 4.

 

Best regards.

great!

 It would be possible to add drop soldiers badge to drop from solo farming mobs near Goddard gates as antilope, buffalo simple.  For chance to farm it solo clan member, to keep it and release in weekends clan farm together raids for example, as clan event. mobs=  buffalo, grendel, bandersnatch, kookaburra, antelopa. there will be more solo farmers near gooddart and fight for spot of this, couse near city and possible to fast regroup, wts /wtb iteam for clan farm later. or global traiding. Also would add strix quest there, couse those spot almost always is empty couse without of it. thanks

ótimo!

 Seria possível adicionar o emblema de soldados de queda para cair de mobs de agricultura solo perto dos portões de Goddard como antilope, búfalo simples. Para a chance de farmar como membro solo do clã, para mantê-lo e liberá-lo em ataques de fazenda de clã de fim de semana, por exemplo, como evento de clã. mobs = buffalo, grendel, bandersnatch, kookaburra, antelopa. haverá mais fazendeiros solo perto de gooddart e lutarão por um lugar disso, porque perto da cidade e possível reagrupar rapidamente, item wts / wtb para fazenda de clã mais tarde. ou comércio global. Também adicionaria a missão strix lá, porque esses lugares quase sempre estão vazios porque sem isso. obrigado

improve exp so that solo players can also reach level 80+, as you can't find a party to level up on a daily basis, being able to use 4 windows also helps a lot.

I am mainly solo player and prefer to stay on 78 lvl to farm on Devil's Island to earn for leaving in this harsh environment. I play solo mainly because parties that are killing RBs play finders keepers loot distribution, eventually sharing drop within its own clan. No satisfaction from such gameplay. Exp without adena is also bad. Supporting solution was to collect badges for hero RB and killing it with familiar clan so I could get 50% of drop from my hero badge after killing RB. Collecting badges must have improved by eliminating Champions danger for example, but again clan wars make it annoying while farming. On TI there were daily raids with random players and random loot distr. Idk, maybe it ruined TI but I was having fun. This game is very difficult (not designed) for solo play but possible. There is hope after this patch but still not enough for solo players. Badges from Bandersnatch, Grendel etc. is in my opinion great idea.

Grande!

 Sarebbe possibile aggiungere un distintivo di soldati drop da droppare da mob di farming solitari vicino a Goddard Gates come antilope, buffalo semplice. Per avere la possibilità di farmarlo da membro di clan solitari, tenerlo e rilasciarlo nei weekend di farm insieme ai raid di clan, ad esempio, come evento di clan. mob = buffalo, grendel, bandersnatch, kookaburra, antelopa. Ci saranno più farmer solitari vicino a gooddart e combatteranno per un posto di questo, perché vicino alla città e possibile riorganizzarsi rapidamente, wts /wtb iteam per farmare clan più tardi. o commercio globale. Aggiungerei anche la missione strix lì, perché quei posti sono quasi sempre vuoti perché senza di essa. Grazie

It would be a great thing to include badge drops on single mobs outside of Goddard.

 

[iCoolNess 5]

yes i farm under goddard mobs too, as buffalo, grendel, bandersnatch, kookaburra, antelopa and others but there is no drop soldiers badge and this is a problem and no still strix quest for scrolls, so that later after work in the evening to go to 1-2 bosses together with the clan on the weekend and share the drop would be nice for all

Please fix Lilith field on TI. It’s still very unfun to farm there.
