Update on Arcane Legends stability issues

[Madnex]

Where is the rule that says speed runs "must" be a certain time? Maybe shorter leashes will make people have to actually think and use new techniques. I don't think lowering counts is necessary. Eliminating parking is a dam good idea.

It's not really a "must" but it's a large factor in speedrunning on both low and high level maps (as long as we have sorcerers, the more mobs hit by the same AoE skills, the faster the time will be). The techniques are there, not too much strategy apart from picking how many to kill and where though. Parking, although it can be considered as a "cheese" move, is unrelated - not sure if anyone even uses it anymore but no time run has been set involving parking.

Well records are already set so would be unfair to people who try after its added and unfair for board reset so far into season as many have set stable legitimate recs already n worked incredibly hard for them.

Let us not even talk about records but farming in general. If the farming time per map is increased, players will get frustrated and may not even want to run! So, if developers are going to mess with leashes, then they should also lower the kill count it requires the boss to spawn so I'm not taking more time to get the same reward.

They'll undoubtedly wipe the boards when they put timers back in anyways.

Wouldn't decreasing kill counts be more unfair? Not sure which way you're arguing.

Yes, so far in local tests of the current map we're playing with run times increased in speed. The required kills were certainly reduced to accommodate the new number of enemies.

Awesome, Cara! Any update on the fossil mystery? Players have run it daily without even one fossil that's been looted from arena.

Sera, can you provide more insight on this theory? Are you implying that all of the boards will be wiped when timers are re-implemented? Can a Mod address this...

Thanks

I'm afraid it means what it means. I'm guessing they will focus on the harder maps from Nordr and up - although Nordr mobs have very small leashes already so not sure if they'll do anything there. Any campaign maps below that will probably remain untouched.
