Remiem's Weekly Community Update | January 21, 2015

[Remiem]

It's another great week in Legends Land!

Greetings Legends, and welcome to your weekly community update! We've got a big 'ol update going in for you tomorrow, so let's not waste any time getting to the meat of it.

In This Week's Update

We had a lot to focus on this week. We've been working hard on a brand new pet, as you may have seen in the Insider's Section along with some of your best community suggestions and bugs.

Many of you PvPers will jump with joy when you hear that Breeze changes will go into effect in tomorrow's update on 1/22. These changes were outlined in last week's update here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...anuary-14-2015 and just required some extra testing before they could go live.

Another hot issue was a bug that popped up causing the Mage Rifle Auto-Aim to malfunction and shoot walls and empty air instead of your enemies. Mage rifles are magic! They don't miss! This is fixed in tomorrow's update on 1/22. Remember though, charged shots still have a 180 degree shot arc, so it will not hit if you are turned around or running away.

Coming Soon

Everyone's favorite undead dragon pet, Nekro will be getting an update soon. Our game designer Carapace has been in the trenches talking with players here about potential changes: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...ges-Discussion. Like other pets, we want to make sure that our changes are solid and thoroughly tested, so Nekro's buff is scheduled for next week. Feel free to join in to the conversation until then. I'll announce the final stat changes in next week's update.

A lot of you mentioned wanting a loot overhaul in the Arena Master Chests. Tired of all that Architect gear? We totally understand! The designers will be taking a second look and discussing potential additions, like consumables. What would you like to see come out of the Master Chests? Let us know! As a side note, in tomorrow's update on 1/22 we fixed the drop rate for Arcane Fossils in the Arena Master Chests. They were always there, but were far too rare! Now it correctly matches the universal Arcane Rarity.

In Other News

Last week we mentioned looking into PvE Gold Payouts. This actually opened up a much larger conversation here at the studio about wealth distribution and the overall health of the game economy. We realized through all of this that it isn't just about quest gold payouts, but a much larger picture of how players earn gold, at what pace and more. We'll be doing some deeper analysis on this and determining what, if anything, should change going forward. I'll update you all in a future post as we learn more on that front.

What's Next?

What do you want to see next, folks? Let us know in the comments what you would like to see us put our attention on next and share your most brilliant ideas. I'll see you in next week's update!

[Ophelia]

[ilhanna]

Very pleased to know that arena loot is getting an overhaul. Thank you, Remiem.

[Konviict]

Please make the Goblin Ring stashable.
Thanks.

[Fiasaria]

1m from master arena chest i know cant drop like a locked but would be great

[Archerios]

Sorcerer buff? No clue?

[Kain]

They are finally nerfing Breeze, his arcane ability is annoying!

[Clickbangboom]

Sweet! thanks for the update!

It's been mentioned before and I'll mention it again, Guild Message Board!
I was also thinking it would be nice to be able to arrange your pets in the stable to the way you want, not just have them auto arranged by level.

Thanks again!

[Madnex]

Good news! We were all getting really tired of the cheap people who exploited Breeze in PvP.

Do remove the useless Architect and Shade gear! Replace it with:

1. 5-10 ankhs
2. 2k-5k-10k gold payouts
3. 50-100 Pots

Thanks for the heads up.

Yay!!!!!! I am so excited about this! I seriously have an urge to bust out the sprinkler in celebration. Thank you guys for addressing this issue.

I agree with Maddy, take out Architect, Noble and Shade gear. They are all auto-liquidate.

Ankhs, gold payouts, pots.

I'd like to see something else of moderate value go into them that you can sell. Right now we have recipe/fossil which have a low drop rate. The vials were good for half a second until the market became flooded with them. With the nekro recipe being reduced I don't think they will increase in value. So maybe one new item that is exclusive to arena that isn't as rare as the mythic recipe but is pretty close to it.

[regizakirs.rs]

I think ankhs or a good gold payout would be good or maybe pots cause you invest these items the most on the elite maps. With the arcane fossil being in a different loot table will that mean that neckro is going to get a buff?

[Andrisber]

Sweet. I hope we will have some nice arena gears that have health + armor, basically a good ''Of Will'' type. Something better than Living Spirit/Necroptic of Will for the people who love having armor.

[Dex Scene]

You guys are doing tremendous job AL.

What we want next?
Try to look at the joystick bug please. And is it possible that MUSHROOM AND RUTGER AP is glitched? Or the clones of Rutger in arena?? When the rutger is made reset his clone dont wanna go unleds we pull each clones out and fight them till they vanish. Thank you

[Candylicks]

We all agree remove the shade/architect and to add the consumables like ankh/pots. You could rarely drop a combo lix and very rarely drop a tradeable para gem. We love our paras, but you know the issue with the scam so make them so we can either use or sell them. That would jump us right back into that zone and feel less like we are spinning our wheels.

Nice to hear about the fossil rate being equal to the arcane drop rate.

Another thing, the drop rate on the legendary weapons in tombs is WAY TOO HIGH. Now their value is very low, it should have been set the same as Tindirin Elite legendaries. We drop those items very quickly and the market has tanked. A nerf here is necessary to bring the value of these items back up.

[Kriticality]

Ahhh, I can feel the breeze... My list is long of farm targets that exploited breeze. Time to get to work. And the nekro buff looks awesome in the other thread. Actually, I like everything about these weekly updates and the devs follow up/conjuntion with threads. Knocking some issues out each week is awesome and keeps me excited week to week about the changes. Thanks all at STS!! I can tell you're grinding. :-)

all i wanted to say lol...sts makes a good attempt on restoring al...gogogo guys

[Valkiryas]

First at all, Thank you very much Remien for this updates , because you take your time to write, analize and tell us what will happen with our lovely game! ; now we can talk with the developers and moderators about what WE want and what WE hate, in my opinion that's transparency .

In the other hand, talking about "Maridos" the next pet, I want to say that it look awesome (Status), but I kinda like see this pet as like "Mythic" Rarity cause that would be a step in the right direction, Samhayne did great things and terribles too, making all the best item obtainable just from crates is a terrible terrible idea, is a MMORP not a Casino got it?! That just increased the "P2W" experience, but if it would be farmeable I would like to see it as like something " obtainable " and not almost imposible , E.I, Fossil & Recipe.

Thanks again for take us in count!

Best regards Valky!

* PS. Sorry my terrible English I am trying a least

[debitmandiri]

Arena master chest :
Ankh as common drop, maybe 1-5
