Patch Notes 8/1/13

[thetruepoolgod_5607735]

about the baal and cerberus patch from yesterday it really changed nothing other than now the players that can do over 500k damage no longer has to sit and wait they just have to attack since most players cant do that much damage. wtg on ensuring some of the newer players can not get last hit . i really enjoyed watching the same player get last hit yesterday on both events and on the first event today . so i say WAY TO GO in making the game even more lop sided and leaning toward the older players great job DEV

Here is a thought if you have time between patches that mess the game up perhaps you could create a patch that would allow you to block foul mouthed players for good. having to put up with players everytime i log in telling others to suck body parts and to go have sex with themselves is really annoying. i should not have to read this daily just because that player is a higher level vip than myself should not give them the right to use that form of language in the chat. either ma a permanent block or move the tynon announcements to the guild chats. one of the T.O.S says that sort of stuff is not allowed but there are screen names called lonnnngdick ,girlwouldfuc^ and i even saw a guild called FUC- so much for the T.O.S if the rules can not be enforced then why have them. it is one thing to not be able to have some check for multi accounts but when someone can create a guild called that last one it is poor security. on the sites behalf.

I noticed that when in Aerie using auto navigation if I go to Arena or Carribean Pirates I stop moving this is new since last patch is this a glitch that needs to be fixed or feature you did not mention?

Hope you guys are reporting those bugs/glitches to billing support.

Yes, i make reports of all bugs and glitches I encounter. And get the same "We are aware of this issue and are working to fix it as quickly as we can" form response from Stanley.
Since this new patch, the last hits in Baal and Cerb are still going to the same people. Nothing has changed.
More and more dc's in beginning and middle of Baal and Cerb, as well as Guild Wars and Lady G. Multiple dc's for me today during Baal just before attack making me lose hits and drop down list.not happy bout that.
Lady G failed to spawn first time for me last night (looked EVERYWHERE) and I know all the spawn points. She spawned somewhere different for many guildies, making it tough for people to get decent credits from the event. And she keeps doing the "disappear after stories and then reappear" routine. Plus the spawns are not on server time still... halfway between computer time and server time.
Having to go to portal to quest is annoying, but not such a big deal. However the new world map sucks.
Had 2 dc's during rune-ing and lost runes. And having runes or armor taken off heroes after refreshing without me doing anything has caused some issues. Often it will not allow you to re-equip and takes multiple refreshes to get it to work and get back to full power.
The new patch seems like a new even bigger hole. The only reason I have not left yet is because I have spent money on the game. But many of our former top players in this realm and others have quit playing. Server is becoming a ghost town very quickly.
And waiting to get the usual form replies to my latest reports.

Arena is a MESS. This did nothing to level things out whatsoever. Now we have a normally 25th position player with 2mpower seeing the #1 position of 6-14m player. Great!!! and 6th place, and 21st place and 18th place...how on earth are they supposed to challenge them and move up the ladder? Was mentioned before about arena daily reward.. well ya get stuck now.... makes NO sense at all. Put arena back as it was.

Here are the latest changes!

• Realm Bosses: When Baal or Cerberus reaches low HP, they will enter a dying state. All players will be returned to the entrance and the boss’ health will be hidden. This change is to give everyone a chance at the killing blow.
• The World Map has been revamped so you can better track your game progression.
• Arena rank progression in the lower ranks of the arena has been increased, so that players can advance from the low ranks more quickly.

The arena rank progression needed to be left alone. Now instead of being able to have a long run win streak it automatically jumps your numerous places ahead even if you want to go one at a time. If you want players who want to move up rapidly to be able to do so, put up 10 or more slots for them to fight for instead of five. But atleast put it back the way it was for those of us wanting a high number win streak. Windwalker

why i cant enter the game,, it said load world failed please try to refresh, i did it many time but nothing happen, i still cant enter the game

What do you consider to be "low ranks" in the arena? Besides all the massive problems this is causing people who want large streaks, go for 1k gem/leader stakes, or want to take their time moving up, it's also making the arena essentially unplayable at the very high levels. Unless you actually consider top 10 to be "low ranks" in the arena this newest change has broken the system entirely.

I'm rank 5 or 6 in the arena in my realm, depending on the day. Overnight I was dropped to 9 because the top player dropped ranks on purpose to steal treasure chests to get materials for his weapon plans (which he can't get any other way because you haven't gotten that far in making your game). Before this patch I would've been perfectly fine with this, I can beat those below me on a consistent basis and should be able to take my spot back.

For reference I'm just over 2m power, ranks 1-4 are all 2.3m or above and ranks 1-3 are completely impossible for me to beat with 4 being extremely RNG dependent. At rank 9 these are the places I can currently see to attack: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 Ranks 7 and 8 are those people normally fighting with me for spots 5 and 6, both around 2m power. At rank 5 and 6 currently are two players with 1.2m power who can easily be beaten by anyone else in the top 10, however NONE of us can actually see them or attack them. This is especially important because of the large rank 5 rewards spike, normally a well contested spot, is now locked in because nobody can attack that person.

This patch has utterly broken the arena for not just those at lower ranks but also those at higher ones and NEEDS to be reverted within the next few days, not the next scheduled content update patch.



On a more positive note at least the Cerb/Baal change lessened the absurd amounts of positive feedback loops within the game, so props for that.

I hear you guys concerns about the arena changes and I'll be discussing them with the devs on Monday. I'm not promising anything will be changed (since I'm the low man on the totem pole) but I'll let you know the outcome of that discussion.

Yeah progress.

Could you also discus s the possibility of when you click your quest on the right hand side of the screen it takes you directly there instead of now being forced to navigate to portal, going through the map screen etc.
