Community Update | 6/08/16 | Fast XP, UI tweaks, Return of Singe and more!

[Justg]

Hey folks!

Several things coming tomorrow we'll mention, plus a surprise or two on the way



Pets

We're starting to reintroduce old and hard-to-find Arcane Pets into the game. Tomorrow Singe's Egg will be available in Massive Locked Cryostar crates. He will be there for one week. Munch Mouth and Arcane Deary are still there, but we'll be swapping out all three next time. We're also fixing Samael and Ice Ball issues that we saw with Pet Animancy.

- Samael’s passive healing is now correctly tied to Samael himself. It will not go away if you replace his happiness buff with another egg, and won’t be transferred if you give his happiness buff to another pet.
- Ice Ball’s Arcane Ability will now apply the freeze on basic attack to any pet if Ice Ball’s egg has been slotted.

If you see any other Pet Animancy slotting issues, please let us know!

XP FastTrack

Stuck on the grind? Tomorrow we are introducing an accelerated early game. By following the main quest lines you will be rewarded with some significant XP packages. These go through Shuyal, and will get you up to level 35 or so pretty quickly, while still ensuring you are learning how to play the game properly. Some of the daily's in Nordr and Shuyal also have some substantial XP returns worth checking out.

UI fixes

Lots of feedback and use cases on our UI changes, thank you very much. They were necessitated because our systems are growing and we'd like the flexibility to make them more useful, but in the process we made things a little more difficult for some users. We are going to tweak it to hopefully address these things:

- Moving the Chest access back to the Equipment page to allow fast access
- Returning the high and low price sorting in the Consignment Shop
- Loadout on Other page should go to equipment loadouts, not vanity loadouts
- We've also made some underlying technical changes to speed things up with your inventory access

Housing

Again tons of feedback on Housing. We're working on ways to make it more accessible to everyone.

- Tradable House Inventory kits
- Tradable House Decoration Slot kits
- Boss Trophy Quests for Elite Jarl, Elite Alpha Wolf, and Elite Hugal the Beserker
- People on your "Ignore" list will no longer be allowed in your house
- Friends of Friends will no longer be able join your house
- 2 more Story Token quests added to the Wandering Minstrel's daily quest rotation
- Visitors accessing Stash should no longer spam chat
- A new housing furniture category (Gardening) with some new decorations available for in-game currencies

Plus a nice surprise that you will have to wait until the bounce tomorrow to see.

What do you think it is? *shiftyeyes*

[Kakashis]

[Hercules]

XP FastTrack will let us to lvl up pets? beacuse I'm 56 already and I only need to lvl up some pets hehe

A surprise? Maybe Urshot event!!

[Gouiwaa9000]

A surprise ? Huhuhu , also will that black void of nothingness outside of my house finally become a garden ? Will we be able to have our own land ? Will we be able to walk there? So many questions :0

[Zeus]

Awesome, Gary! I hope you guys can bring some shared housing functionality into the game. After all, big houses are usually never lived in alone, but together. If you could bring that functionality in, that would be epic!

[Nabkro]

Splatter is the surprise?

[Tippertwo]

YAY I love the idea of gardening, thanks justg!

[craylax]

[Justg]

A surprise? Maybe Urshot event!!

Too soon, we're still working on some killer new stuff for this one.

Splatter is the surprise?

Not this time.

A surprise ? Huhuhu , also will that black void of nothingness outside of my house finally become a garden ? Will we be able to have our own land ? Will we be able to walk there?

Not yet, but we are thinking of what to do with Housing 2.0.

Guild improvements?

*Shifty eyes*

Currently being designed. Will be with the next client.

[Tif]

Is the outside of the house a garden now? Or is it still a ugly black thing of nothingness

[Kaziscate]

While you're at it, dont forget to update the Cryoworm Heart's description!

[onadraosari]

Landscape around the house? Is it surprise?

[Mdy]

[Sandeeep]

Hey folks!

Pets

[INDENT]We're starting to reintroduce old and hard-to-find Arcane Pets into the game. Tomorrow Singe's Egg will be available in Massive Locked Cryostar crates. He will be there for one week. Maridos and Arcane Deary are still there, but we'll be swapping out all three next time. We're also fixing Samael and Ice Ball issues that we saw with Pet Animancy.

Maridos or Munch Mouth? Also curious, why the +/- on egg loot for certain periods of time? Some people can't always buy plat on a whim, and crate keys are impracticality expensive nowadays. It's quite an inhibiting factor for crate openers when arcane egg loot choice is minimal. Thanks!

[Iplo]

Nice update! Thanks!
And about that surprise, I hope it is Craft mania! :P

[octavos]

Lol nothing was mentioned about the thing people wanted changed about housing. "Upkeep" that's what needs to be mentioned.

[extrapayah]

i'm guessing that swift also have some problem, since it needs itself to attack with its own passive to freeze pulled enemies, and many more problem for complex aa that is tied with their own passive...

and also, melee aa (e.g. kelvin's stun) is basically not-usable to any ranged pet, i think this need to be addressed too

and lastly why cryo battle gears are not superior even by 1 stat is also a problem, and the skin/visual for these gears doesn't match anything to cryostar related, just some recolored beetle/insect set...

also, i expected you to make arcane eggs as droppable when you said 'we're going to spread it all around arlor' or something... but anyway, any returning eggs are welcomed, including mythic

[exkaan]

Is the surprise new arcane bow? 😍😍
