[Justg]

Hey folks!

The party in Necropolis is in full swing! We're entering the second week of the Halloween event, and going strong. It will last until next Thursday, November 3rd at approximately 1:30 PM CST, and then enter a 3 day cooldown.

Here is what we have on tap this week:

Bug Fixes/ Tweaks:


+ Added Tradeable Crafting Inventory Slots back to the store
+ Drak's Backpack Vanity is tradeable and stashable
+ Boogie's death no longer results in an invisible target that distracts pets
+ Twilight Crates no longer drop in Crypts
+ The Leprechauns have left the Somberholt
+ Accalia's Diseased Bite AA no longer targets friendly players. The damage has been increased.
+ Werewolf pet movement speed increased a little bit
+ Corrected issue where Duskbringer staff was not applying a greater armor debuff when charged
+ Renamed the Somberholt Jewel recipes to Order jewel to unify the Jewels recipe naming convention

Just in case you missed it in an earlier thread, here is a chart of gold in from the last 30 days:

156237

Gray bars are the expansion, dark and light greens (olive drab-ish) are Halloween. Orange was the Gladiator Arena.

You want to make gold? Get to end game and play the events.

Have fun out there!

If you guys concentrate on banning LB cheaters from the game instead of making life hard for F2P players, the community would be much happier.

I get trolled from devs when I ask questions in chat, get comments edited when I post in forums, and get completely ignored in PM.

Why would we make life hard for ftp? We constantly add things like tradable crafting slots, etc so you can play the entire game without paying us a cent. We've also recently shut down most of the cheat-prone leaderboards, so not sure what you are talking about there. As for editing forum posts, we prefer a collaborative relationship with you. Snark and drama do not help anyone. We moderate the forums to keep them friendly and poison-free. We love opinions, even if we don't agree with them. If your post was edited it typically removes the drama without changing your general message. We do this instead of actually deleting them so you can still express your opinion.

Bottom line, be cool to us, we'll be cool to you.

There's always going to be haters! I think the event so far is fantastic! I didn't run arena for gold, but knew of that option as well as jewel farming. I like how you guys have put more gold drops on the events as well as how the newer maps drops enough gold to cover pots despite the repetitive nature. Hopefully the deeper mausoleum have better drops, otherwise it's graveyard runs until we hit the grave ourselves!

Hopefully next year's plat tier we can have at least recolored vanity weapons! The artwork especially the ghost sets are absolutely amazing from Halloween event. I've spent so much gold collecting them all xD Violet vanity is my fav!

I'm going to beg u for banished amulet portal to be closer to arcane deary portal rate though xD

Awesome Octavos, that's great!

Regarding plat sales, you know we don't advertise when they are happening, but I do think we'll have another 2x offer weekend coming up... very... soon... *shiftyeyes*

oh i c, lots have changed since ive been out. understood g-man. I haven't done those because i remember a big issue for doing those. I just don't want to be banned.

I guess you can say im still freaked out buy that, and stay with things that wont make me get into trouble ya know.

[extrapayah]

wow, so much gold were generated by arena @_@, but somehow i can't feel any inflation/raise in price of many things @_@...

but anyway, i think event bosses gold drop need to be checked, if i'm not wrong bosses only dropping 50-60 gold there, while event mobs can give you 100-200 gold

also anything to say about the recent randomized mobs positioning? it really changes drastically how timed runs records are, imo, now we rely heavily on a good mobs positioning, which needs luck...

[Mouly]

Grey bars naturally dropped due to event, people don't run the expansion as much, I get that. However it does feel like gold loot has been reduced in graveyard too. I remember being impressed by the amount of gold there during the first week-ish, but now it's back to 20g, 50g, 30g etc and the unusual 100-200g. Any comment on this?

Interesting graph, G. I'm assuming this only shows gold generated from the maps, and doesn't account for pet feeding cost, potions repurchased due to use, and ankhs purchased to deaths. While it's nice to see the new maps are giving players more than the average amount of gold for farming, half the story here isn't being told. I think if we calculated the in from new maps with the outs from actual running cost, we would see the new maps are in fact not that fantastic for making money as this graph makes it seem. I also can't help but notice arena, while definitely larger than the other smaller bars, does not appear to be as blown out of proportion as initially indicated... something along the lines of hundreds of millions of gold per week. Seems that taking away the gold drop from arena wasn't as necessary from my point of view, but that's just my thoughts on it. Thanks for putting in the effort to show us players some of what you guys see on your end.

I cant speak for this guy, but i its nice to see 200-300 gold drops. not these 1-5 gold. I don't merch, but the new maps need this...not mines and other tomb levels where people farm XP or older content. I see its a nice graph, but ive died more in these new maps, so more potions, ankhs, "I dont feed my pet- so that doesn't count lol" and ive used the level up package gear..that should help right? but anyway. Gold drops were to be improved by other dev posts...i could go looking for it tho if it helps...was this decision changed? I have seen 1 weekly missions that award gold..but is that it?

[TastyGoblin]

Cool as usual! :)

Respectfully disagree on that last part. When I'm only trying to increase my rank in the new maps I'm always making money even when factoring pet cost. Could just be something particular about me like having a lot of pets or something, I couldn't know how you farm to know why it costs you.

Would be nice if that graph displayed class, maybe a rogue uses more on pots than mages on the regular - idk

Also still curious if pink is glintstone

[Meowtho]

in my opinion ur nerfing everything what gives pretty nice amout of gold, of course arena gave alot of gold to us everyday, but not to each player, i got 60k per day WITHOUT using ankhs, alot of potions, feeding my pet... it was good old content
graveyard isnt worth of running for gold becaude we are loosing alot of potions n gold for feeding our pet
i know that u will nerf gold drop in graveyard because from what i see it gives also pretty good amoun of gold.... IF U ARE NOLIFE n ur grinding n grinding n grinding n spending alot of time
but thanks for tradeable craft slots :D

New backpack tradable... Nooooooooooo... I thought it would be nice thing to have later on that noone can buy, but now its gonna be another 3k goblin shield... Disappointment is real.

Niceeeeeeee... 😍😍😍😍😍

[JesuisCharlie]

No that i regret the mines ever existed but i think it's a good thing you closed the mines. It was to easy to make gold and litteraly exploded the other aspects of the game even some events and now peoples have to optimize their economy so it's more challenging for everyone, plus it give even more interest to events, endgame or futur content.
If a better game include changement, evolution i take it without any nostalgy for these mines of slavery where more than one adventurer losed his good health.. :)
But bad stuff for backpack when many peoples bought it as their first objective because it was untradable!

[GreatVix]

Make locked farmable just with lepre without other new luck thing please because i test it just with lepre 0% lock lokted/ 800 run in random normal and elite map, dont tell me that drop better ind somber because wont imagine run it with lepre will dmg my pot and ankh ,
I will move to somber map when i get better feel with it, for now new map still so horriable for me :)

Still wondering why you cut the gold on the arena tho. For one person, with a good run, you made maybe 1k, 2k if you had a 100% gold loot weapon. If it took you between 2-3 mins per run, (I believe this is average, if you are faster then you need more gold for better-than-average gear anyways), the gold per minute is quite low. Also, farming the arena can be extremely boring, and not many people do it for the gold, which is only a secondary concern for them. So maybe you could increase the gold, maybe not to the old levels, but to somewhere around maybe 500-750 per run?

However, I am looking at it from a personal standpoint, and although I guess it doesn't give that much gold to the individual players, the amount of gold coming into the game from all players must have been a lot, versus the difficulty that people had in running, as compared to when runs took 10 minutes or so while 41 was the cap. I guess the viewpoint of the Devs who have to look at the whole game is a bit different from the individual view point...

Can we the players who played last year's Halloween event please have the ghost banner from 2014 instead of repeat from 2015? Really want the banner don't care about the plat tier vanity weapons reward anymore just want the ghost banner please.... >_<
