Spacetime Clamps Down On Rules Violations


February 1 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2385122&viewfull=1#post2385122))



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. (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?294758-MY-device-banned-forever&p=2385008&viewfull=1#post2385008)"

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! :-)

Glintstone Aegis Fully Optimized, Warriors Grateful

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:

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.


Will Jewel Chests Grant Players Short-Term Relief?

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 have 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 (http://account.spacetimestudios.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?274374-This-Weekend-in-Arcane-Legends-Jewel-Elixirs-Arrive-for-a-Limited-Time!). 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 (http://account.spacetimestudios.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?294028-Now-Available-in-the-Store-Jewel-Chests!).

Community Reacts To Arcane Deary


January 26 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2380310&viewfull=1#post2380310))



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:


[*=1]"I find it entertaining...we joked about arcane deary now it came out (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292160-NEW-Arcane-Pet!-Arcane-Deary-becomes-a-reality!&p=2378249&viewfull=1#post2378249)" - Lopezman
[*=1]"I like how STS finally made an arcane pet completely purchasable by platinum. (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292160-NEW-Arcane-Pet!-Arcane-Deary-becomes-a-reality!&p=2376672&viewfull=1#post2376672)" - Ravager
[*=1]"the idea behind [the portal] is so creative that it truly make this pet worthy of the Arcane title (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292160-NEW-Arcane-Pet!-Arcane-Deary-becomes-a-reality!&p=2376341&viewfull=1#post2376341)" - 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.

Glintstone Aegis Update


January 24 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2378836&viewfull=1#post2378836))



STS Developer Carapace, replying to an inquiry (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?280751-not-only-they-fixed-the-aegis-bug-but-they-also-nerf-it&p=2377872&viewfull=1#post2377872) about whether a Glintstone Aegis shield proc fix was on the horizon stated the following:

That is definitely an issue, however the particulars of it working the way it does on the first hit makes perfect sense given the way our system works. It's on the radar, but is not as easy to fix as one might speculate.

Thanks for bringing that back to my attention.

At issue is that a normal attack is required to trigger the Aegis shield proc, hobbling the effectiveness of the proc and the mythic weapon overall. Skill attacks add to the proc cycle, but cannot initiate the proc. Aegis owners are hoping developers will make skill attacks will also initiate the proc cycle as they did when the weapon was originally released.

Vintage Elite Zones To Get Fresh Achievements

Responding to long-standing player requests and hoping to rekindle interest, STS will soon be dusting off aging elite maps and granting new achievements and titles.

Next week, dive back in to the most difficult content in Arlor--Elites--for brand new achievements and titles for every elite zone. But, don't get too excited! These definitely aren't going to be a walk in the park. To earn titles like: "Scourge of Goblins," "Rogue Hunter," "Shadowmancer" and "Dragonborn" you've got a long hard battle ahead of you.
Remiem's statement that players have "a long hard battle ahead" may indicate the difficulty level of the zones will rise. Players are left wondering whether there will also be changes to the loot the older elite zones drop.

with the revival of old elite maps with AP and titles, i also wish you prepare a refreshed loot in those maps, preferably in a form of jewels and/or vanity, things that are relevant to every level of players...

From Spoof To Anomaly To Reality: Arcane Deary Revealed


January 21, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2376031&viewfull=1#post2376031))



Deary the has long been a source of humor for Arlorians. Commonly looted from Brackenridge City, the pink deer of 'rare' rarity became the pet of choice among new players because it was consistently the least expensive egg in the consignment shop. With Deary by their side, new players would venture forth into all zones, PvE and PvP. There, they would proceed to make the sometimes-irritating, eye-rolling mistakes most new players make. Thus, Deary became associated with 'noob' shenanigans and the running joke about Arcane Deary was born.

Through the years players facetiously posted suggestions about what an Arcane version of Deary might look like, such as these pictured below.





145719



In yesterday's community update (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292500-Remiem-s-Weekly-Community-Update-January-20-2016), Remiem announced the "mysterious" new arcane-rarity Deer pet is about to become a reality. Later today the pet dubbed "Arcane Deary" will be unveiled and made available to players with today's content update.

Further, STS is hosting live stream event of the unveiling and promises viewers will have a "chance to walk away with a wobbling egg, glowing with Arcane energy." The event will take place on the Spacetime Studios channel (http://www.twitch.tv/spacetimestudios) on Twitch.tv at 2pm CST. Visit TimeBie (http://timebie.com/) to convert to your time zone.

With all the hype about new endgame-focused content swirling in the Arlorian atmosphere, level 15 Warrior Jestertank is hoping to generate some explosive fun on the L15 bracket with an all-out PvP tournament.

is a tournament hosted by <4NR> guild helping to promote the level 15 bracket back to the good old days
Jestertank really means 'the good old days.' The tournament rules dial back time by limiting each team to the three pets from seasons past: Malison, Ribbit and Vixen. The prize pot is already at 2M gold but could go higher. No date has yet been set, but many teams have already signed up.

But, that's not all. Jestertank tells ALLN he is looking for a boon to be granted from above: "I'm hoping we gain enough publicity for STS devs to make a banner for us." ALLN will also be covering the tournament.

ALLN reported (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2366923&viewfull=1#post2366923) on January 8th that the weapons were mentioned in the original event announcement, but missing from the event. Five days later, Remiem clarified the weapons were deliberately excluded from the event:

The Dragon Hunter and Dragon Slayer sets, as they stand in the game now, do not include weapons. This was due to a small miscommunication that unfortunately made it through to my initial event announcement. The weapons may make an appearance in future content.
In the first quarter producer's letter published two days ago, Justg announced the release of a set new arcane weapons, saying they are "about to see the light of Arlor’s day." Then, when responding to players' questions, Justg gave additional information about the arcane weapons:

Arcane Weapons - these are the ones that Remi showed back in December
but never made it out for the Winter Event.
Players quickly made note of Justg's statement and took to the forums, voicing their opinions on the matter and asking for confirmation:

If they are, I think I can speak for most people that are secretly hoping the looks are changed, as they look nothing like the classy and great looks of the original arcane weapons. I hate to say it, but they look like legendary weapons. :/

On the bright side, I am glad that we do get new arcane weapons. My only complaint is that we only got 1-3 months of time with other mythic weapons.

Hope a developer can confirm!


Broken Aegis Cycle Leaves Warriors Disheartened


January 16th, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2372694&viewfull=1#post2372694))



When the bulwark-style mythic warrior weapon named the Glintsone Aegis was released during the 2015 Halloween event, it contained a glitch which allowed warriors to transfer the powerful Aegis proc to any weapon merely by switching to a different weapon after one successful attack. Warriors happily exploited the glitch - which massively increased their effectiveness in pve, to the point of being seriously overpowered. However, the gleeful bonanza came to an end when the glitch was reported to developers and subsequently nixed in the December 3rd, 2015 content update.





145528





As disappointed as warriors were, most understood that the glitch would not last forever. And, as prepared as warriors were to return to less-than-op status they were not prepared to have the Aegis rendered ineffective by the fix that removed the proc-switch glitch. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened.

After the December 3rd update, Aegis owners immediately noticed the proc no longer worked properly. Under previous conditions, the proc would trigger whenever an enemy was hit, either with a skill or with an auto-attack. After 10 enemies were hit, the armor would explode, giving area of effect damage to surrounding enemies. Then, the next enemy that was hit would start the cycle over again.

After Dec 3rd, only an auto-attack with the aegis could begin an shield-explosion cycle. This severely limited the effectiveness of the Aegis because of its clumsy, short range auto-attack. As it is practically impossible to keep track of how many enemies are hit, an Aegis-wielding warrior was forced to interrupt the flow of battle, get into very close range with an enemy and attempt an auto-attack. Warriors using the Aegis are at a disadvantage because they can neither taunt nor easily increase their armor value.

Developers eventually got wind of the new problem and have committed to fixing it.

This was brought to my attention earlier today, and I believe it is an unintended side effect from the fix for the bug related to the effect being active even after you equip a different weapon.

Long story short, there won't be a fix for this until next year as we are all out of the office for the most part. It is however, on my list of things to look into when I return. It was not our intent to "stealth nerf" anything, just to fix the bug that previously existed.
Although many great improvements are on the horizon and new content is coming soon, Aegis owners are still hoping STS will follow through. Many warriors still feel as though they are less of a priority for STS.

STS is a great company but they haven't been fair to the warrior class. The tank is out of the pve scene. That basically means u have to make a rogue or Mage to farm effectively now. This is classism. Either everyone gets to farm/solo elites or no one should be able to.


First Quarter Producer's Letter Packed With Pizzazz

Today marked the release of the first quarter producer's letter and it was chock-full of exciting new happenings for Arcane Legends. Perhaps the most exciting news is that a new set of arcane weapons will be released in the very near future.

We also have a new set of Arcane Weapons that will be introduced. These unique weapons were alluded to in the Winter Event, and are about to see the light of Arlor’s day.

As STS has mentioned before, AL Client 1.5 is in the works

Client 1.5 will release soon [after the February Lovecrafting event]. This will be our biggest client release ever, with a ton of interesting tweaks/ fixes/ features such as:

- Skill Mastery that will allow you to further expand and customize your characters.
- A new type of item rarity: Set items!
- UI improvements that will better allow players to see just what could be inside those locked crates.
- Inventory improvements to address limited inventory space problems.
- A system to make Locked Crates more accessible to all players, even those without Plat.

The letter also discusses the arcane anomaly, the upcoming Lovecrafting event, and concept art fot the upcoming expansion. Check it out here (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?291193-2016-Q1-Producer-s-Letter).

ALLN is receiving reports that missing in today's content update was the enabling of the Brood Locked Crates. STS is aware of the issue and has committed to a quick fix:

Today's Content Update: Singe Returns to Locked Crates & More


January 14th, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2370606&viewfull=1#post2370606))



The Thursday January 14th content update will be packed with goodies. In this week's Weekly Update (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?290924-Remiem-s-Weekly-Community-Update-January-13-2016) (WU) Remiem informed us that, as of today, the original arcane dragon whelp pet Singe will be included in Locked Ren'gol Crates. Singe was first introduced two years ago (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?135772-New-Arcane-Pet-Available-Today!-Singe-the-Dragon-Whelp), prior to the Dragon Enclave expansion.

Apparently, STS will be adding other items to Locked Crate drop tables. Remiem dropped a teaser in her WU, "There are some other special goodies coming your way that will definitely make you think about opening those crates you've been hanging on to." Some players have speculated that the anomalous Arcane Deary may be one of the items added.

Perhaps alluding to the coming expansion, today's content update will also include significant nerfs for aging zones "in preparation for future content." The most notable nerf is that of the infamous Nordr Alpha Wolf. Ice traps from the Nordr boss areas have been removed, Nordr boss damage has been reduced and the damage from one of the most lethal boss skills STS has ever developed, Alpha Wolf's reflective shield, has been reduced.

Minor bug fixes and are also included in today's update, and STS is also expected to switch Brood Locked Crate recipies to a craftable state.

CM Remiem has clarified that the legendary weapons do indeed exist, but they were not released during the Brood of Syrillax winter event. Remiem stated the confusion on the matter was due to an internal miscommunication at STS.

Hey folks! I've been seeing a lot of threads since the Winter Event regarding the legendary Dragon Hunter and Dragon [Stalker] weapons missing from the . I'm happy to clear this up. :)

The Dragon Hunter and Dragon Slayer sets, as they stand in the game now, do not include weapons. This was due to a small miscommunication that unfortunately made it through to my initial event announcement. The weapons may make an appearance in future content.

Need To Know: Trap Bleed Stack Question Remains Unanswered

[I]
January 12th, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2369424&viewfull=1#post2369424))



It has been sixty-seven days and Rogue player DarrenPR is patiently waiting for an answer to an important, but complex, question (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?274582-Are-Traps-Supposed-to-Stack-Bleed) regarding rogue mechanics that only an STS developer can answer. The question at hand is about the Rogue skill Entangling Trap (ET) and its second upgrade, Razor Wire. When the ET skill is activated, Razor Wire adds bleed Damage over Time (DoT) to enemies. When coupled with the first ET upgrade, Adept Construction, which eliminates the skill cooldown 20% of the time, a situation is created where multiple traps can be active simultaneously. Additionally, when other traps from other Rogues are added and with the Rogue Glintstone armor set special ability of releasing additional stunning Entangling Traps, the question of how exactly the traps are supposed to behave becomes even more important.

Decisions on how to spec a character and decisions on which strategies to employ are made based game mechanics. Rogue players spend platinum/scrolls on spec-ing and in-game time using the Entangling Trap skill based on their understanding of how the game functions. Several Rogue players have spent time testing the ET bleed effect and have discovered:


Trap bleeds currently do not stack (trap bleeds did stack immediately following the Ren'gol expansion)
Bleed effects from other sources, such as pets, do stack with traps.
When traps from multiple rogues are used simultaneously only one player will see damage from the bleed effect
Glintstone armor-related traps will consecutively stun for 4 seconds only if no bleed effect from a prior trap is present. If a prior ET with DoT bleed effect is present, glint-traps will not stun.


Rogue players have expressed frustration that they have yet to receive an answer, but many are still hoping developers will take the time to answer.

Yes, patience is key.

Thing is, I'm not asking for a fix just yet. Simply a developer to "yes, traps are supposed to stack the bleed effect" or "no, traps are not supposed to stack bleed effects". We can beg for a fix later, if deemed necessary. In my opinion, it shouldn't take over a month to be able to say "yes" or "no" but then again, maybe it does.



Arcane Deary Returns

Italian Rogue player Zuorsyra reports:

I was lvling my lvl 27 rogue in Shuyal, killing mobs in the first map.
I killed the shadowmancer on the first bridge and all of a sudden a portal appeared, and a red Deary pet jumped out of it (I'm serious, no trolling). It said "I wish I could stay for longer..." Or something like that.
The last time we saw Arcane Deary was during the lead-up to the Rage of Ren'gol expansion. The appearance of a "four legged creature" was first announced (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?232374-May-Producer-Letter-for-Arcane-Legends) on May 20, 2015.

When the Brood of Syrillax winter event ended many players, unfortunately, deleted their Brood Locked Crate recipes because they were not craftable.

STS Responds: Brood Crates Will Be Craftable

With a surprisingly swift response, STS announced it will allow Brood Locked Crates to craftable following the regularly scheduled Thursday, January 14th content update.
Community Manager Remiem:

First, let me thank you all for bringing this to our attention and offering clear and constructive feedback on the situation. We know many of you worked very hard to collect those recipes, and certainly understand your frustration.

After some discussion with the development team, we will be reverting the Brood Locked recipes back to their craftable state. This will go into effect in the next game update, Thursday 1/14. Ultimately, we determined that it would be best for the game and the economy to allow event locked crate recipes to remain craftable even after the event ends. This means that we will also apply this to any future events, unless an item is specifically identified as "limited time" in the item description.

Once again, thank you very much for making your voices heard and working with us to find the best solution!
Concerned players have responded positively, thanking STS for its decision:

Thank you whole team for don't ignore us and work out for search best solution. We appreciate it.

Brood Locked Crates Not Craftable After Event


January 7th, 2016 by Ninetofive



In the prior event, Halloween 2015, the Locked Massive Scary Spider Crates were craftable after the event cooldown ended. After the event ended, STS acknowledged that the fact the crates were craftable was an error, but the error was never corrected. Allowing the Spider Locked Crates to stay craftable left many players with the expectation that event locked crates would also continue to be craftable after the winter event cooldown. During the winter event many players had asked STS via the forums whether or not Brood Locked Crates would be craftable post-event, but they received no response. No expectation was set.

After today's content update players discovered the Brood Locked Crates were no longer craftable. Players who were relying on Brood Locked Crates to be craftable post-event were left dismayed:

Today , surprisingly, StS manage to answer in their own way. Just closing the cool down and let us get the answer for ourself. Communication should be part of this community. Keep doing these kinda stuff and it won't be much until everyone here would have enough with this game.
and...

I bought 150 brood recipe and now i scary it will gone after or or it will be not able to craft.
Can any dev confirm it will be able to use after event ?

Players left with large inventories of unusable recipies hope that STS will allow enable Brood Locked Crates to be craftable.

STS Confirms Banner of the Slain Dragon Does Not Have Snowfall Effect

At the time of this writing, it has yet to be confirmed with a screenshot, but the enigmatic deer's appearance may indicate that we are now in the lead up to the next expansion.

Brood Crate Update


January 10th, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2368179&viewfull=1#post2368179))



When the Brood of Syrillax winter event ended many players, unfortunately, deleted their Brood Locked Crate recipes because they were not craftable. Following STS' announcement that Brood Locked Crates would be made craftable next Thursday 1/14, players who deleted their recipes took to the forums to voice their concern:

I deleted alll 300+ recipes because I believed they were not craftable. Sts if you do decide we can craft it again can you please give me back on my recipes please. Thanks in advance
Fortunately, players who deleted their recipies can email STS support. (support@spacetimestudios.com) This reporter believes STS will likely restore deleted recipes upon request.

Need To Know: Trap Bleed Stack Question Remains Unanswered


January 12th, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2369424&viewfull=1#post2369424))



It has been sixty-seven days and Rogue player DarrenPR is patiently waiting for an answer to an important, but complex, question (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?274582-Are-Traps-Supposed-to-Stack-Bleed) regarding rogue mechanics that only an STS developer can answer. The question at hand is about the Rogue skill Entangling Trap (ET) and its second upgrade, Razor Wire. When the ET skill is activated, Razor Wire adds bleed Damage over Time (DoT) to enemies. When coupled with the first ET upgrade, Adept Construction, which eliminates the skill cooldown 20% of the time, a situation is created where multiple traps can be active simultaneously. Additionally, when other traps from other Rogues are added and with the Rogue Glintstone armor set special ability of releasing additional stunning Entangling Traps, the question of how exactly the traps are supposed to behave becomes even more important.

Decisions on how to spec a character and decisions on which strategies to employ are made based game mechanics. Rogue players spend platinum/scrolls on spec-ing and in-game time using the Entangling Trap skill based on their understanding of how the game functions. Several Rogue players have spent time testing the ET bleed effect and have discovered:


Trap bleeds currently do not stack (trap bleeds did stack immediately following the Ren'gol expansion)
Bleed effects from other sources, such as pets, do stack with traps.
When traps from multiple rogues are used simlutaneously only one player will see damage from the bleed effect
Glintstone armor-related traps will consecutively stun for 4 seconds only if no bleed effect from a prior trap is present. If a prior ET with DoT bleed effect is present, glint-traps will not stun.


Rogue players have expressed frustration that they have yet to receive an answer, but many are still hoping developers will take the time to answer.

Yes, patience is key.

Thing is, I'm not asking for a fix just yet. Simply a developer to "yes, traps are supposed to stack the bleed effect" or "no, traps are not supposed to stack bleed effects". We can beg for a fix later, if deemed necessary. In my opinion, it shouldn't take over a month to be able to say "yes" or "no" but then again, maybe it does.

Legendary Dragon Hunter & Dragon Stalker Weapons Update

CM Remiem has clarified that the legendary weapons do indeed exist, but they were not released during the Brood of Syrillax winter event. Remiem stated the confusion on the matter was due to an internal miscommunication at STS.

Hey folks! I've been seeing a lot of threads since the Winter Event regarding the legendary Dragon Hunter and Dragon [Stalker] weapons missing from the [icy and greater icy chests]. I'm happy to clear this up. :)

The Dragon Hunter and Dragon Slayer sets, as they stand in the game now, do not include weapons. This was due to a small miscommunication that unfortunately made it through to my initial event announcement. The weapons may make an appearance in future content.

Today's Content Update: Singe Returns to Locked Crates & More


January 14th, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2370606&viewfull=1#post2370606))



The Thursday January 14th content update will be packed with goodies. In this week's Weekly Update (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?290924-Remiem-s-Weekly-Community-Update-January-13-2016) (WU) Remiem informed us that, as of today, the original arcane dragon whelp pet Singe will be included in Locked Ren'gol Crates. Singe was first introduced two years ago (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?135772-New-Arcane-Pet-Available-Today!-Singe-the-Dragon-Whelp), prior to the Dragon Enclave expansion.

Apparently, STS will be adding other items to Locked Crate drop tables. Remiem dropped a teaser in her WU, "There are some other special goodies coming your way that will definitely make you think about opening those crates you've been hanging on to." Some players have speculated that the anomalous Arcane Deary may be one of the items added.

Perhaps alluding to the coming expansion, today's content update will also include significant nerfs for aging zones "in preparation for future content." The most notable nerf is that of the infamous Nordr Alpha Wolf. Ice traps from the Nordr boss areas have been removed, Nordr boss damage has been reduced and the damage from one of the most lethal boss skills STS has ever developed, the Alpha Wolf's reflective shield, has been reduced.

Minor bug fixes and are also included in today's update, and STS is also expected to switch Brood Locked Crate recipies to a craftable state.

nothing about the Aegis


This was brought to my attention earlier today, and I believe it is an unintended side effect from the fix for the bug related to the effect being active even after you equip a different weapon.

Long story short, there won't be a fix for this until next year as we are all out of the office for the most part. It is however, on my list of things to look into when I return. It was not our intent to "stealth nerf" anything, just to fix the bug that previously existed.

Today marked the release of the first quarter producer's letter and it was chock-full of exciting new happenings for Arcane Legends. Perhaps the most exciting news is that a new set of arcane weapons will be released in the very near future.

We also have a new set of Arcane Weapons that will be introduced. These unique weapons were alluded to in the Winter Event, and are about to see the light of Arlor’s day.

As STS has mentioned before, AL Client 1.5 is in the works

Client 1.5 will release soon [after the February Lovecrafting event]. This will be our biggest client release ever, with a ton of interesting tweaks/ fixes/ features such as:

- Skill Mastery that will allow you to further expand and customize your characters.
- A new type of item rarity: Set items!
- UI improvements that will better allow players to see just what could be inside those locked crates.
- Inventory improvements to address limited inventory space problems.
- A system to make Locked Crates more accessible to all players, even those without Plat.
The letter also discusses the arcane anomaly, the upcoming Lovecrafting event, and concept art fot the upcoming expansion. Check it out here (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?291193-2016-Q1-Producer-s-Letter).

Broken Aegis Cycle Leaves Warriors Disheartened


January 16th, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2372694&viewfull=1#post2372694))



When the bulwark-style mythic warrior weapon named the Glintsone Aegis was released during the 2015 Halloween event, it contained a glitch which allowed warriors to transfer the powerful Aegis proc to any weapon merely by switching to a different weapon after one successful attack. Warriors happily exploited the glitch - which massively increased their effectiveness in pve, to the point of being seriously overpowered. However, the gleeful bonanza came to an end when the glitch was reported to developers and subsequently nixed in the December 3rd, 2015 content update.





145529



As disappointed as warriors were, most understood that the glitch would not last forever. And, as prepared as warriors were to return to less-than-op status they were not prepared to have the Aegis rendered ineffective by the fix that removed the proc-switch glitch. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened.

After the December 3rd update, Aegis owners immediately noticed the proc no longer worked properly. Under previous conditions, the proc would trigger whenever an enemy was hit, either with a skill or with an auto-attack. After 10 enemies were hit, the armor would explode, giving area of effect damage to surrounding enemies. Then, the next enemy that was hit would start the cycle over again.

After Dec 3rd, only an auto-attack with the aegis could begin an shield-explosion cycle. This severely limited the effectiveness of the Aegis because of its clumsy, short range auto-attack. As it is practically impossible to keep track of how many enemies are hit, an Aegis-wielding warrior was forced to interrupt the flow of battle, get into very close range with an enemy and attempt an auto-attack. Warriors using the Aegis are at a disadvantage because they can neither taunt nor easily increase their armor value.

Developers eventually got wind of the new problem and have committed to fixing it.

This was brought to my attention earlier today, and I believe it is an unintended side effect from the fix for the bug related to the effect being active even after you equip a different weapon.

Long story short, there won't be a fix for this until next year as we are all out of the office for the most part. It is however, on my list of things to look into when I return. It was not our intent to "stealth nerf" anything, just to fix the bug that previously existed.
Although many great improvements are on the horizon and new content is coming soon, Aegis owners are still hoping STS will follow through. Many warriors still feel as though they are less of a priority for STS.

STS is a great company but they haven't been fair to the warrior class. The tank is out of the pve scene. That basically means u have to make a rogue or Mage to farm effectively now. This is classism. Either everyone gets to farm/solo elites or no one should be able to.

New Arcane Weapons Previewed In Winter Event Announcement?

Are the "legendary" weapons conspicuously left out of the winter event actually arcane?

ALLN reported (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2366923&viewfull=1#post2366923) on January 8th that the weapons were mentioned in the original event announcement, but missing from the event. Five days later, Remiem clarified the weapons were deliberately excluded from the event:

The Dragon Hunter and Dragon Slayer sets, as they stand in the game now, do not include weapons. This was due to a small miscommunication that unfortunately made it through to my initial event announcement. The weapons may make an appearance in future content.
In the first quarter producer's letter published two days ago, Justg announced the release of a set new arcane weapons, saying they are "about to see the light of Arlor’s day." Then, when responding to players' questions, Justg gave additional information about the arcane weapons:

Arcane Weapons - these are the ones that Remi showed back in December
but never made it out for the Winter Event.
Players quickly made note of Justg's statement and took to the forums, voicing their opinions on the matter and asking for confirmation:

If they are, I think I can speak for most people that are secretly hoping the looks are changed, as they look nothing like the classy and great looks of the original arcane weapons. I hate to say it, but they look like legendary weapons. :/

On the bright side, I am glad that we do get new arcane weapons. My only complaint is that we only got 1-3 months of time with other mythic weapons.

Hope a developer can confirm!

With all the hype about new endgame-focused content swirling in the Arlorian atmosphere, level 15 Warrior Jestertank is hoping to generate some explosive fun on the L15 bracket with an all-out PvP tournament. Jestertank:

[Blitz]is a tournament hosted by <4NR> guild helping to promote the level 15 bracket back to the good old days
Jestertank really means 'the good old days.' The tournament rules dial back time by limiting each team to the three pets from seasons past: Malison, Ribbit and Vixen. The prize pot is already at 2M gold but could go higher. No date has yet been set, but many teams have already signed up.

But, that's not all. Jestertank tells ALLN he is looking for a boon to be granted from above: "I'm hoping we gain enough publicity for STS devs to make a banner for us." ALLN will also be covering the tournament.

From Spoof To Anomaly To Reality: Arcane Deary Revealed


January 21, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2376031&viewfull=1#post2376031))



Deary the has long been a source of humor for Arlorians. Commonly looted from Brackenridge City, the pink deer of 'rare' rarity became the pet of choice among new players because it was consistently the least expensive egg in the consignment shop. With Deary by their side, new players would venture forth into all zones, PvE and PvP. There, they would proceed to make the sometimes-irritating, eye-rolling mistakes most new players make. Thus, Deary became associated with 'noob' shenanigans and the running joke about Arcane Deary was born.

Through the years players facetiously posted suggestions about what an Arcane version of Deary might look like, such as these pictured below.





145721



In yesterday's community update (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292500-Remiem-s-Weekly-Community-Update-January-20-2016), Remiem announced the "mysterious" new arcane-rarity Deer pet is about to become a reality. Later today the pet dubbed "Arcane Deary" will be unveiled and made available to players with today's content update.





145722





Further, STS is hosting live stream event of the unveiling and promises viewers will have a "chance to walk away with a wobbling egg, glowing with Arcane energy." The event will take place on the Spacetime Studios channel (http://www.twitch.tv/spacetimestudios) on Twitch.tv at 2PM CST. Visit TimeBie (http://timebie.com/) to convert to your time zone.

Vintage Elite Zones To Get Fresh Achievements


January 22, 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2376952&viewfull=1#post2376952))



Responding to long-standing player requests and hoping to rekindle interest, STS will soon be dusting off aging elite maps and granting new achievements and titles.

Next week, dive back in to the most difficult content in Arlor--Elites--for brand new achievements and titles for every elite zone. But, don't get too excited! These definitely aren't going to be a walk in the park. To earn titles like: "Scourge of Goblins," "Rogue Hunter," "Shadowmancer" and "Dragonborn" you've got a long hard battle ahead of you.
Remiem's statement that players have "a long hard battle ahead" may indicate the difficulty level of the zones will rise. Players are left wondering whether there will also be changes to the loot the older elite zones drop.

with the revival of old elite maps with AP and titles, i also wish you prepare a refreshed loot in those maps, preferably in a form of jewels and/or vanity, things that are relevant to every level of players...

Arcane Legends players with a keen fashion sense now have an opportunity to use their talents to win some platinum. Today, STS Moderator Seoratrek announced the Arcane Legends Color Matching Contest, which charges players with creating an impressive, color-coordinated screenshot of their character in an ideal setting. According to the rules, player outfits must be as close to one color as possible, using any combination of items and vanities available in the game.

Five winners will be chosen, one for each of five categories:


1. Most Creative Use of Pet
2. "It Ain't Easy Being Blue"
3. Most Coordinated Location - your outfit is appropriate for the location (i.e.: snow vanities for Nordr)
4. "Down to Earth" - you're one with nature
5. Overall Staff Favorite

Three additional winners will be chosen randomly from all entries. According to the announcement, "creativity and presentation" will carry significant weight. Check out the original thread (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292905-Arcane-Legends-Color-Matching-Contest!) for full details and to submit an entry. The contest ends on Friday, February 5 at 10PM PST. Visit TimeBie (http://timebie.com/) for time zone conversion.

Glintstone Aegis Update

STS Developer Carapace, replying to an inquiry (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?280751-not-only-they-fixed-the-aegis-bug-but-they-also-nerf-it&p=2377872&viewfull=1#post2377872) about whether a Glintstone Aegis shield proc fix was on the horizon stated the following:

That is definitely an issue, however the particulars of it working the way it does on the first hit makes perfect sense given the way our system works. It's on the radar, but is not as easy to fix as one might speculate.

Thanks for bringing that back to my attention.
At issue is that a normal attack is required to trigger the Aegis shield proc, hobbling the effectiveness of the proc and the mythic weapon overall. Skill attacks add to the proc cycle, but cannot initiate the proc. Aegis owners are hoping developers will make skill attacks also initiate the proc cycle as they did when the weapon was originally released.

Community Reacts To Arcane Deary


January 26 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2380310&viewfull=1#post2380310))



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:


[*=1]"I find it entertaining...we joked about arcane deary now it came out (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292160-NEW-Arcane-Pet!-Arcane-Deary-becomes-a-reality!&p=2378249&viewfull=1#post2378249)" - Lopezman
[*=1]"I like how STS finally made an arcane pet completely purchasable by platinum. (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292160-NEW-Arcane-Pet!-Arcane-Deary-becomes-a-reality!&p=2376672&viewfull=1#post2376672)" - Ravager
[*=1]"the idea behind [the portal] is so creative that it truly make this pet worthy of the Arcane title (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?292160-NEW-Arcane-Pet!-Arcane-Deary-becomes-a-reality!&p=2376341&viewfull=1#post2376341)" - 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

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.

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.

Will Jewel Chests Grant Players Short-Term Relief?


January 28 2016 by Ninetofive (permalink (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?288961-Arcane-Legends-Latest-News&p=2382049&viewfull=1#post2382049))

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 (http://account.spacetimestudios.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?274374-This-Weekend-in-Arcane-Legends-Jewel-Elixirs-Arrive-for-a-Limited-Time!). 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 (http://account.spacetimestudios.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?294028-Now-Available-in-the-Store-Jewel-Chests!).

Glintstone Aegis Fully Optimized, Warriors Grateful

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:

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

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. (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?294758-MY-device-banned-forever&p=2385008&viewfull=1#post2385008)"

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

Hello everyone.

I'm still here, thanks for your kindness and suggestions. There are two reasons I haven't posted recently. Firstly, during the past two weeks my family and I have been suffering through multiple minor illnesses. Nothing serious, but such things tend to sap one's strength. The second reason is that STS, happily, has loaded the forums and the game with so much great info and new happenings that keeping up is not as easy as it was before. Don't worry, though, I'll be getting back into the news groove shortly.
