Glacian the Ice Elemental, a new Arcane pet available from Grand Watch Crates!
Shadow Veil's masked Presence ability now properly applies to the caster when they are the only one standing in the cloud.
Fixed an issue that allowed access to PvP maps outside the appropriate level range.

[hotpimp]

Arcane Weapons for the Warrior and the Mage classes will be coming in the next expansions. The Kraken Isles explored the Rogue's homeland - the next expansions will do the same for the Warrior and Mage.

[earhole]

Looks like anything that is remotely good is through the crates now. That's just sad. I guess it's just about time to quit and move on.

[Asirad]

Cant u guys make the drop rate higher and make some more thins for free players? Like a cppl of days where locked chests wud be free to open? Need also more types of games for pvp an more maps. And when will next expansion be?

[Iphoneington]

[Cero]

Not wizzard. Its rogue/warrior pet. Mainly Rogue... The only weakness rogues in pvp is mana leak... So with this pet OP Aimed Shot +@ , will be more OP. Yeap, gl all wizards :-D
Hammerjaw for warrior/wizzard, but its not so OP for them...


Yay, all twinks can fell safe now :-D
30lvl.... 30.... Hax :-D :-D

[Gameplay]

What are the VIP crates for/do

[BuLLitz]

Hey AL, if you wanna drop pets, great. If you wanna sell pets, thats great too.
But I think you are taking away an opportunity for me to get the things I really want.
WOuld I be willing to spend Plat at a chance for great gear? Sure....
Would I be willing to spend Plat on a gold-grubbing pet???? Heck NO!!

Heres a soft threat....
If you dont get the pets out of the crates, I am going to report you to PETA telling them that you encourage pets being locked in crates!!!!

Hammerjaw is still the best :-)

Ya, not happy with the direction STS is moving. There are many things they can do to improve gameplay such as dual setups for PVP/PVE. But I guess locked crates is the cash cow for now.

It's going to be a hard fall when all the casual gamers quit due to the greed; and when the few hardcore gamers are out of money or decides to spend the money elsewhere when lock crates gets old.

[ishyrionek]

75 mana = 750 mana
seems like ur confused

Yes, I'm...

[Swede]

does this pet root applied in pvp?


It does not apply the root in PvP, only does the damage.

[Cero]

figured. it would be OP for someone.

nvm sam answered.



These unlocked crates were put in the stash of accounts that had previously spent $25 or more on Arcane Legends. We do VIP rewards from time to time and generally use different criteria to reach different groups of players. If you didn't make it this time, maybe you'll get it next time around.

If your device had logged on to an account that met the criteria, then your device would receive the push note. That generally is only an issue for users who share account information :p

[Energizeric]

75 mana= 750mana seems like ur confused

Ummm....seems like you are the one who is confused. How is 75 mana and 750 mana the same thing?

[gundamsone]

they coudlve made this a 10/10 pet if they gave 15 int instead of 75 mana but it's already OP as it is

[kingtidus]

i wont use plats on crates unless sts remove those shipmaster trashes in it.3400 plats spent.didnt even get a mcraw

[Puntus]

Hi! One question! When the new expansion?

Congrats for the game!
Thanks

[MrFoster]

Now, please fix traps in pvp. Traps can be activated by your team member and sometimes net can catch team member, so its ridiculous.

[warbluefish]

lol. more dmg in pocket. r they under funancial presure? or need to money to be listed? its a killer. all money game AL is now.

[Extreme]

Woah!

[Zyntia]

Fixed an issue that allowed access to PvP maps outside the appropriate level range.


LOLOLOLOL. That was a joke right? Went to pvp...A lvl 14 is tossed with lvl 17-18s....How can you think that its a fair game? An insane difference in dps/hp/damage between different levels and it still HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

I am losing interest in pvp and no that dazzling Glacian does nothing to redeem it. A Glacian will not help me to defend myself (lv 14) against lvl 17-18s in pvp. 26608Sorry, but NO I am not opening any of my Locked Crates until you fix the level issue.

[Samhayne]

Lvl 14 can play with an 18 if the game was started by a lvl 16. Lvl range is + / - 2.

Sometimes you will be top dog in a game started by a 12, as the 14 in with 10's.

Thanks for the reply. I know that "lvl 14s CAN play with lvl 18s". But what I am asking is how is it supposed to be fun or fair? I know "they can" currently but the very fact that lvl 14s can play with lvl 10s or 18s in pvp, is the problem. Thats unfair and takes the fun out of pvp is one thing.

Secondly it does not console me to expect that there is a possibility of pwning lower levels also. :) I do not want to be top dog agaisnt a lvl 10. I'd rather prefer to play and win/lose with my equal levels or +1/-1.

Capture the flag is a TEAM game, learn to play as a TEAM instead of as an individual.

[Syylent]

Capture the flag is a TEAM game, learn to play as a TEAM instead of as an individual.

That is like the the Dream Team playing Tibetan Monks in a basketball game. Besides playing against a person/TEAM 4 lvls higher is mainly staring at the ground.

You are only rewarded on the individual level (kills/flags) => not a team game.

Hi Zyntia,

The issue is one of user experience. Is it better for you to enter the PvP portal, looking to play a game and end up waiting and never starting a game? Or, would you rather enter and pretty quickly get into a game, but with wider level disparity? We would love to set the level range so that users only play with others of their same level. Unfortunately, at most times of the day (or, depending on the level range, at any time) there may not be enough people who want to play PvP to get a game going. You would sit in the lobby and never get to the play.

That's why there is a level range to the games.

As to fun or fair - even if you get into a game where everyone is the same level, but there are some people who go afk because their doorbell just rang (or some other distraction) - well now it's 4 (and 1 afk) vs. 5. How is that fun or fair? It isn't, but ya know, that's just how things roll some days. I play a lot of PvP. I know that sometimes I'll get paired up with some people who really know how to play and we'll steamroll. Other times, well, it doesn't always work out like that. I typically find that the real competition is at the end game. If you are serious about PvP, I would suggest you level up to 25 or 26 and get your gear/build together and try to play with friends / guildmates.

Hopefully this input helps you to have a better understanding and thereby be less upset by your experience.

Respectfully yours,
Samhayne

Nice icy pet

[COPIED FROM ANOTHER THREAD]

Armor works like this:

Armor Value * (Armor Modifier by level of attack mob) = Damage Reduction

This modifier goes down as the level of the attacking mob goes up, so that more armor is needed to maintain Damage Reduction as the player moves into higher level content.

This passive is a multiplier on the Armor Value, so that a small change might not have a huge impact on Damage Reduction, but the higher the base Armor Value the player has the more this passive is worth. Therefore, this passive is way more effective for a warrior is max armor than it would be for a sorcerer in medium armor.

For example:

Warrior with 980 armor at level 21 vs. Sorcerer with 500 armor at level 21.

Warrior DR w/out passive - 980*.00047619 (attacking mobs modifier) = 46.6% DR
Sorcerer DR w/out passive - 500*.00047619 = 23.8% DR

Warrior DR w 4/5 passive - (980*1.04)*.00047619 = 48.5% DR
Sorcerer DR w 4/5 passive - (500*1.04)*.00047619 = 24.7% DR

This benefit will grow as armor values get higher, which is one of the reasons why this passive will probably never go beyond its 5% increase. It would just become too powerful over time.

Does this level modifier apply in PVP?

[DeathVirus]

15 str = 150 hp 75 mana= 750mana seems like ur confused
I'm guessing my comment was removed or whatever but don't say i'm "confused" where you are the on who was wrong

[Destructible]

Should we expect greater drop rates of Locked Crates in the near future? With more amounts of Locked Crates in CS, Gold prices will drop so players can buy more just to open them with Plat, right?

Jeez you make it sound like people are quitting, gameplay is broken, and everyone is pissed off.... I barley even have my ping above 200 and only about 3 times has it gone to about 10k, and all I had to do was close AL and open it back up. I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with the ping but I'm pretty sure that they are aware of it.
