Community Reacts To Arcane Deary

January 26 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink)

The newest arcane pet to enter the Arcane Legends stables has caused quite a stir. Available for 1,350 platinum, through opening Locked Crates of the Ren'gol or on the open market, many players quickly acquired Arcane Deary and have taken the serious-but-hilarious pet out for some trial runs. Apart from the usual abilities, AD grants players a chance to open a portal, upon defeating a qualifying PvE boss, to Deary Island where players can dig for gold, locked crates, and a new mythic ring.

The community reaction to Arcane Deary has been mixed. Here are some of the more positive reactions:

• "I find it entertaining...we joked about arcane deary now it came out" - Lopezman
  
• "I like how STS finally made an arcane pet completely purchasable by platinum." - Ravager
  
• "the idea behind [the portal] is so creative that it truly make this pet worthy of the Arcane title" - Dcclfanboy

Rogue player Kakashis best captured one of the most positive aspects of Arcane Deary:

It's a chill pet and a different way of farming! I get some locked by killing bloodhammer, get some locked at deary Island, but get lots of laughs when I get trololololol by fake portals! At least you can tell which are real by the red dot on the HUD. Once my deary reaches 35 which is the SS map cap, I won't even feed him (portals still open) and farming is truly free from pots, gold, and effort! haha

Many players also took note of the less attractive aspects of the new arcane pet. Most criticism was focused on AD's Arcane Ability, which displaces up to eight "lesser" mobs for 6 seconds then returns them with a random debuff. The aa may be helpful in preventing some players by being overwhelmed by large mobs, but other players found it to be a hinderance. <Deviant Misfits> Officer and experienced records runner Twoxc:

By removing mob to another dimension for 6 second and returning it with a status effect does not help what so ever, cause when if the mob is left alone and not taken to another dimension, at least our AoE or we can just attack that mob which will definitely hurt the mob more then being vanish for 6 second for nothing.

Additional criticism focused on Arcane Deary's Dimensional Ring. Many players found the Ring's stats underwhelming.

I do agree that the stats are very bad. I nearly bought it because I also thought it was 35 all + additional.
This ring is actually an everlasting blood ruby with crit instead of dmg.

STS has yet to respond to criticisms of Arcane Deary.

STS Confirms Weapons Revealed In Winter Event Are Arcane Rarity

January 21, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink)

STS has confirmed that the weapons mentioned, but not released, during the Brood of Syrillax winter event are indeed of arcane rarity. The vast majority of players had believed the weapons were legendary, but it turned out not to be the case:

The arcane weapons are pictured below.

Sts has clearified that these are just legendary weapons. IMO Arcane weapons will be the arcane versions of winter event myth weapons.

Kind reminder for rogues : Dont expect an arcane bow. You are op enough.

Sts has clearified that these are just legendary weapons.

That is incorrect. The weapons ARE arcane. In her January 20 Weekly Update, Remiem clearly and specifically stated they are NOT Legendary.

I can confirm that the Arcane Weapons we referenced ARE Arcane rarity. Not Legendary, as previously speculated.

Great thread. What a good read

Will Jewel Chests Grant Players Short-Term Relief?

January 28 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink)

The formidable obstacles woven into the current jewel crafting system remain one of the game's hottest discussion topics. The jewel system replaced the older Gem crafting system with the release of the Rage of Ren'gol expansion. After the expansion release, players quickly discovered that jewel drop rates were relatively low and crafting them was also expensive. For an individual player, farming a single noble jewel from start to finish required 123,570 gold and 2,187 cracked jewels. Any player attempting to obtain the noble version of one of the more sought-after jewel types had to face months of exhaustive farming, killing waves upon waves of high level mobs. To date, there are no known reports of a single player farming and crafting a popular-type noble jewel from start to finish.

These factors together placed intense pressure on the prices of popular Noble, Superb and Excellent jewels. As the situation became clearer after the expansion, players of all wealth levels began to experience prolonged sticker shock because jewel prices consistently remained high enough to bust the budgets of even the wealthiest Arlorians. Prices for many in-demand level 20+ jewels have remained in the 'several millions of gold' range for the past seven months.

On November 5th last year, STS moved to address player complaints with a trial-run of Jewel Elixirs. By spending 8 platinum, players received a much higher than normal drop rate for 15 minutes. Player reviews on the elixir experiment were mixed. Perhaps due either to undesirable game metrics, player feedback or both, STS decided not to continue with Jewel Elixirs.

Today, STS announced their second attempt to address the continuing Jewel Conundrum: Jewel Chests:

Now available in the plat store! Purchase a Jewel Chest to gain 2 jewels of "Weak" quality or higher! Chests cost 40 platinum and have a chance to drop jewels of any type, with a rare chance to drop up to a Noble quality jewel

The Jewel-Chest trial run lasts only until Monday, February 1st. Players have the opportunity to leave feedback regarding the chests on the announcement thread.

Glintstone Aegis Fully Optimized, Warriors Grateful

January 30 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink)

STS has followed through on its commitment to make changes to the Glintstone Aegis. The mythic warrior sword & shield weapon has been returned to its original release condition, minus the weapon-switch glitch. The proc now triggers upon damage dealt:

First, I want to thank everyone for your patience and feedback on the Aegis and its functionality over the last few weeks. Sometimes things that seem like simple fixes actually take some noodling behind the scenes to find the right solution. Your bug reports and overall feedback were critical in us landing on this week's changes. The Glintstone Aegis will now begin to stack toward the proc on damage dealt as opposed to on-attack.

Aegis owners were pleased with the news:

thank you for the aegis fix - extrapayah

Thanks for Aegis fix - soon

After a first brief test: Aegis is back, Yay! Thanks for that! - Ardbeg

Top Warrior Ravagerx confirms that the Aegis does not proc on damage received, and it never has:

I tested the first iteration of Aegis on taking damage to see if there was a hidden proc. No luck. Sorry. I stood there for about a minute taking hits. I attacked to get 1 shield stack up and stood there to see if more shields would stack. I got a full 10 stack and see if it would proc more but it wouldn't.

Spacetime Clamps Down On Rules Violations

February 1 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink)

According to reports on the forums and on social media, Spacetime Studios has issued a large number of player bans for a variety of rules violations. Today, STS CEO Justg confirmed the recent upswing in bans, "We're cracking down [on rules violations] with zero tolerance."

Reports indicate the most common bans have been for inappropriate chat related to PvP and for purchasing gold from a third party. The length of the bans have varied from 24 hours through seven days, with some players receiving the stiffest penalty, a permanent "forever" ban. Justg warned players not to engage in transactions outside the game, "Don't buy anything for real world money, don't sell anything for real world money."

Players who have been banned may seek information from support.

Just a friendly reminder.... If you have questions about your account, or why you may have been banned, please feel free to contact support@spacetimestudios.com

They will be more than happy to answer any questions you have! :-)

Edit: Added additional helpful links.
