View Full Version : Few questions...

Hey guys! I got a couple of questions. There's some things about Arcane Legends that I'm having trouble discovering on my own.

1. It looks as though the kill system works like PL. Once you are too high level, you can longer gain kills in any region of the game. Because the game isn't out on iOS yet, I haven't had the chance to level to the cap and test this. Can you always get kills in any region of the game regardless of your level?

2. It seems as if there is no possible way to solo a level. This tends to shove me away from playing pretty hard. Especially with the current system. The enemies get harder depending on how many people are present in that area? That is a horrible, horrible, idea in my opinion. At least make a 20m radius where that form of difficulty scaling will take effect. It is very, very, frustrating to be alone in a map when you enter a mob of eight or nine enemies and all of the sudden four people join your game. You're basically screwed. Anyways, my question is, is there a way to solo that I don't know about?

3. There are no pure breeds. Is this true? I mean, do rogues and mages seriously have to add str in order to succeed? That's ridiculous. I mean, I can understand breaking away from traditional mmo's and trying to rid the "holy trinity" but seriously? That didn't accomplish anything but make rogues and mages less useful. The trinity exists in the classes themselves. My question is, is this going to be corrected? Is this how the game is meant to be played? Or will there be pure breeds in the future?

4. Does the elite cap contain any kind of exclusive item that contains stats?

5. It seems as if the whole founders gear is setting the example for the way we will obtain our legendary weapons. In other words, the only obtainable good sets will be from gamble packs that can be purchased with gold or platinum. Is this the case? If so, that's pretty messed up. My parents taught me never to gamble. Sts has reinforced this idea with how many times I've gambled and lost. I refuse to gamble anymore. My parents dun' taught me right.

6. Will there be pvp?

7. Will there be vanity's?

Thanks in advance guys! I don't mean for this to be a complaining thread or anything. All of my questions tend to be personal opinions anyways. I'm just looking for answers is all...

Edit- just for extra clarity, let me say this. I have expressed my extreme, tremendous gratitude for this excellent game that sts has released in other threads! This thread was simply meant for some opinions, questions, and critiques. Mainly, though, for questions.

You should quit honestly you only care about them doing stuff for you. I honestly think noone cares out of this community what you do because this whole thread is q.qing about if they dont accomplish set things for you.

Vanties - not out yet, not important for game play, get over it
Elite cap special item - Wasnt released in first cap for other games, also not important for gameplay, get over it
PvP - not added yet still being tested, get over it
Class stat restrictions - going pure int or pure str on a mage is up to you. I know great int mages and good str mages. derp get over it
Solo leveling - you must be new here, soloing isnt added yet as stated if you want to solo l2 get friends to run separate instances in pt with u, get over it
Leveling at low places - why must you NEEEED to do this. no at a certain lvl you can not go to first map to gain exp. oh well get over it

A lot of mistakes but honestly didnt want to give you alot of my time

Because the game isn't out on iOS yet, I haven't had the chance to level to the cap and test this. Can you always get kills in any region of the game regardless of your level?

I haven't tested this fully but it seems to be different a little. I noticed that I still got kills in Brackenridge but I have to kill a lot more goblins to get a single kill.

The enemies get harder depending on how many people are present in that area? That is a horrible, horrible, idea in my opinion.

Anyways, my question is, is there a way to solo that I don't know about?
I'm always going solo in this game and seems more fun unless I'm with guildies. The way to do so is by having a party. Being in one locks up the area as it reserves the spots for only the party members.



3. There are no pure breeds. Is this true? I mean, do rogues and mages seriously have to add str in order to succeed? That's ridiculous. I mean, I can understand breaking away from traditional mmo's and trying to rid the "holy trinity" but seriously? That didn't accomplish anything but make rogues and mages less useful.

I actually like how it's encouraged to use these stat points wisely instead of just dumping the +5 to one category in PL or SL (Stat points are worthless in SL). It seems more "into it"
and strategic. There will be pures in the future as it does has it's advantages. Warriors have the least amount of negatives while choosing pure, but they'll still be lacking mana and the dodge/critical



4. Does the elite cap contain any kind of exclusive item that contains stats? If so, I'm already done.
Nothing is awarded for capping except the 6 stat points and 1 skill point (And you can farm 16 gear)



5. It seems as if the whole founders gear is setting the example for the way we will obtain our legendary weapons. In other words, the only obtainable good sets will be from gamble packs that can be purchased with gold or platinum. Is this the case? If so, that's pretty messed up. My parents taught me never to gamble. Sts has reinforced this idea with how many times I've gambled and lost. I refuse to gamble anymore. My parents dun' taught me right.
These packs are only for the Founder gear and will be here until a little time after the release. The best pinks of the game come from the chests that bosses can drop (Opening then gives you three random items)



6. Will there be pvp? I thought there was going to be...if not, I quit.
It's not here yet but the arenas are in the two towns. I'm guessing after the IoS gets it.



7. Will there be vanity's?

1. Correct. Like the other titles, once you go past that level threshold of the map, you can no longer gain experience or kills from it.

2. All the maps outside of elite and maybe Hauntlet are solo-able. With my Warrior, I never struggled clearing any maps on my own. However, I struggled quite a bit on my Rogue and Sorcerer as they do not take hits very well in the early levels. Though it is possible to solo with Rogue and Sorc, you will need more technique and a whole lot of potions in doing so.

3. Pure specs do exist. It's just that a lot of people tend to solo maps so they dump points into strength to be able to take more hits and sometimes int so they can spam more spells. With a good group, you can run full dps spec on Elite if you are a Rogue or Sorcerer because you shouldn't be taking any major hits.

4. No exclusive item for the elite cap at the moment. This was to be expected anyway since they have never done so on the first cap on their previous titles.

5. No. All the best gears are only looted and obtained from the end game elite maps. The plat/gold gears will always be worse.

6. Yes

7. Yes

To the people bashing this guy, you need to back the **** off. He was merely asking questions. People like you is what making these forums toxic.

You know, I didn't edit hardly anything. Next time please read the thread carefully, and don't just explode. I'm by no means the kind of guy who intends to come in and rant about a bunch of crap that I think should get changed. Even in the original unedited thread I stated that I wasn't trying to complain and that it was all personal opinion. I'm sure you just conveniently missed that part.

Thanks to you other guys who see the thread for what it's supposed to be and for answering my questions accordingly. That really helps alot!

Go put a sock in it. You are extremely rude and sarcastic needlessly. He has valid concerns and I actually agree with some of what he said.

If you can't accept that people have different opinions besides yours, perhaps you need some schooling yourself.

Are you sure about the XP/kills thing? I was getting XP from mobs with a green threat level. In all the other games, green means your level is too high for the map. Didn't look at kills, but kills and XP always go together, so I'm assuming I got kills too.

@ 1, It is to eliminate kill farming. Just like PL & SL, when you reach a certain level you no longer gain xp, thus not gaining kills, so it won't lead to easy game-play.

@ 2, Here is a tip. ;) Make a party with someone, (do ask if they aren't busy or are going AFK) then make a level. Since you have a party no one can join except for those party members, and just ask them not to join. That's the easiest way I've found.

@ 3, It's your opinion, even though you stated it like a fact. People can make pure-breeds if they want. They might die, it's up to them. And no, they don't NEED str. A good rogue can solo and kill all the enemies in an area just fine, it might take a few potions, but the dodge and crit is helpful.

@ 4, No there is not this time, but I'm sure there will be SOMETHING for capping in the future.

@ 5, Try running elite runs for pinks. You'll get some good ones. If not, just wait for other people to sell their founder sets, and buy those. You never needed to buy a single pack, that was just your own thinking.

@ 6, I can say YES, at 95% certainty. Check the achievements, PVP/CTF already have theirs up, they just haven't been added yet,

@ 7, I can say MAYBE, 50/50%. Check CS, if you look through the different rarities, common, rare, epic, legendary, then the next one says VANITY, so..... Perhaps ;)

Don't know if it's just a recent change, but at lvl 15 I started running into a small icon near the top of the page (yellow arrow, pointed downward, with a plus in it). Click on it and a tell-tale comes up saying that your level is too high to receive XP for that map. (Currently only seeing it on that first map after town, the forest. Don't remember the name, and the game is not running at the moment so I can't check.)
