Weekly Update | 8/18/16 | New Mythic Triforce Pets, More Bug Fixes

[Justg]

From a long-forgotten realm, we bring you these three new Mythic pets to aid your quest:

Introducing:

Ellie

Gobi

and Hawken

The most interesting thing about these guys is they can combo off of each other for devastating results.

Combos:

Arrow Rain + Healing Spring = Acid Rain
• Deals increased damage in a wider area
• Enemies affected by the damage will also receive a lingering acid effect that persists for a few moments after you leave the area.

Healing Spring + Arrow Rain = Radiance
• Heals allies within a wider area
• Creates packs which remain for 1 minute and will regen health/mana on pickup.

Healing Spring + Battle Zone = Battle Medic
• Increased Heals to allies within a wider area
• Allies within Battle Medic heal themselves on dealing damage

Battle Zone + Healing Spring = War Zone
• Increases damage of allies / slows enemies within a wider area
• Grants allies a Heal over Time and Armor buff which remains when they leave the area of War Zone

Battle Zone + Arrow Rain = Fire Power
• Increases damage of allies / slows enemies within a wider area
• Creates battle packs on the ground that grant a shield to allies when picked up (do not stack)

Arrow Rain + Battle Zone = Hard Strike
• Deals increased damage in a wider area
• Enemies within Hard Strike are rooted on creation and have their armor reduced while standing inside the Hard Strike.

Here is a quick flick of their tricks and play animations:



These three Mythic Pets will be available in the Stable Store for a limited time.

Pet Egg Rotation

Available this week in Massive Cryo Locked are:

+ Hammerjaw
+ Shady and Surge
+ Munch Mouth

This is the farewell appearance of Shady and Surge and Hammerjaw eggs, we won't see them again for awhile so if you want them, now is your chance!

Additional things in today's build include:

+ Tyrannica's Rainbow Night activated ability now properly targets appropriate enemy players when cast in PvP
+ Fixed a bug with Lifegiver Mastery so that it properly uses targets health for healing percentage
+ Reduced global cool down of Shadow Piercer to better be in line with other abilities
+ All Bard Quests conclusions now lead to Outpost

Let us know your thoughts when you get a chance, and thanks!

This is the global cooldown related to Shadow Piercer, meaning the time your other abilities are disabled directly after using Shadow Piercer. This does not affect how often you can use Shadow Piercer.

Issue with rogues was never about speed. Personally, I was able to combo just fine after SP. Only thing I couldn't do was charge packs or auto attack right after it.

The lack of substantial buffs is causing rogues to quit the class. There's still no chance in a Mage/Warrior stack against this. Rogues are still getting swapped for Sorcerers. The bug of heal was found out this week, so it's not really a contributing issue to this dilemma as sorcerers already healed a great deal. I guess however, that's a good thing for me now that I'm converting to sorcerer.

This was a quality of life update for Rogues that was discovered, Shadow Piercer forced players to wait 4x longer than other abilities before a player could take another action (charge packs, basic attack, Aimed Shot, everything). This is not something intended to improve Rogue life in group battles.

Yes, that may be true but it doesn't matter because as soon in this video at 1:25, after you use SP, you have to wait for other skills to come off of CD anyways. You can see in the clip what I'm showing. The only time that would come into play is during packs...which aren't going to save you if you shadow pierced (because of the fact that you have to hunt for them).

1:25 best describes it in the clip, as it's in slo-motion so people can better process what is happening. Therefore, the only thing this is helping with is auto attack in between sp and aimed.

I know it's not a buff, I'm just saying that it's something that wasn't an issue before.

Can you consider this modification to Warrior's Windmill also? It suffers from the same issue.

We're not yet at the point where we can release events every week (though we know you would like that). We're working on some major things, some of which you know about (like guild battlegrounds, halloween, etc.) and some of which you don't (like... well... some other cool things we'll talk about soon).

Bottom line is we don't have events every week, but we do try to have at least something fresh every week, in between major and minor events.

Agreed economy of game is now par in balance than it was before... Thanks for giving a hint on Halloween
