29 notes.
A pre-launch beta build. A pre-launch beta build. Reposted to the monk site's Official Patch Notes board while the game was still in testing, so what it describes may never have shipped in this form.
Gameplay
- The experience curve has been changed. Your levels will not change but your experience within your level may. This was unavoidable. The new curve behaves quite a bit differently than experience rewards previously. Lower level NPCs no longer have an experience fall of other than the nature growth in experience rewards build into the curve. NPCs higher level than you will give significantly more experience reward than an enemy equal to your level, this is also new. There should now be more of a reason to strive for killing those NPCs one or two levels higher. Good luck!
- Fix for some players qualifying for quests that weren't for their class.
- Fix for characters being unable to group if one player invites another and then logs out before the invite was accepted. ADVENTURING
- Cleric – Adjusted the levels and damage of Aegis of Blades and added an upgrade at level 48.
- Aura of Shielding is now obtained at level 8.
- We have upgraded several of your ability lines. Check your trainers!
- Shaman – Hammer of Krigus should no longer permanently lower your opponent’s strength and constitution.
- Warrior – Kick is now level 2, does not incur global recovery and will start chains and crits more.
- Warrior – As your tweaks are on going, you should check the trainer for upgrades to older abilities. Checking today will be good.
Crafting
- Fixed taskmasters in Ahgram
- Fixed a bunch of Tanvu work order name issues
- Fixed all blacksmith refining work orders
- Work order items should stack properly now
- Work order items can now go into bags properly
- If you are getting empty supply packs please report the work order that gave you the pack so we can troubleshoot the issue
World Population
- Based on feedback, adjusted the quest “Broken Fang Threat” to be a little more level-appropriate for 6 – 8. You still may need to find a friend to complete it though.
- Re-populated the upper portion of Den of Shadows—there should now be plenty of Reanimated Bears and Wolves to complete all quests required
- Adjusted the spawn times on all Reanimated Bears and Wolves in Den of Shadows so that they no longer take 10 minutes to respawn
- Fixed a bug that allowed you to complete the quest, “Into the Den” just by walking over the top of the cave. Now you actually need to head in to the cave to complete it.
- Adjusted the difficulty on Cottonwings and Hill Cats in the Halgarad starting area
- Reworked the “Trial of Sacrifice” portion of “The Passage to Kortella” to make it more appropriate for its level—you now only have to kill the Raider
- Fixed “Trial of Sacrifice” so as to prevent other players from jumping in and stealing the kill, thereby ruining your chances to complete the quest
- Numerous signposts have been added all over the wonderful land of Halgarad. Enjoy!
- Signposts have been added all over Leth Nurae. Bug Fixes:
- Trainers in Karibasa will no longer claim to give armor to players (since they don’t).
- Players should once again be able to loot Nimat’s chest.
- There should now be enough redcap bonemillers and bonecollectors for players to kill in Tursh. CODING
- You will no longer jump when swimming along the surface of water.
- Regular players will no longer see "Character Saved." messages.
