Weekly Update | 4/21/16 | New Set, Inventory Liquidation, Penalty-Free PvP (and more)

[Justg]

This week we wanted to give you a ton of things to do, so here goes:

Inventory Liquidation!

Time for Spring Cleaning! This has been on the wishlist for some time. Now you can liquidate all of a particular rarity and type of items directly from your inventory.

Tap a section of your inventory to get the Sell All option:



Next select the rarity to liquidate:



As Spidey sez: WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY! BE CAREFUL! THIS IS NON-REVERSIBLE. SUPPORT WILL NOT REFUND LIQUIDATION MISTAKES.

New Anti Gnome Sets available:

This is our first “Set” rarity to introduce to the game. It is a special group of gear specifically designed to smash those nasty little Gnomes, and the pieces can be obtained through a variety of means.

The necklaces drop from Gold Heretic chests. The belts and helms drop from Bosses. The ring drops from massive Cryrostar crates. And the armor has to be crafted!

Here are the recipes:




When the pieces are worn together in the Glintstone and Underhul maps, they offer the following bonuses:



The VFX and Stats only apply in the town of Glintstone and the Underhul Dungeons.

They also give you some excellent sparkly and ground effects as you compound the items.

Talk to this fellow in Glintstone for more info on how to find the sets:

Achievement Point Progress NPC:

Talk to RK Renault in any Guild Castle and he will tell you how far you have to go to complete those APs:



Obviously I have some work to do here!

PVP: Penalty-Free Weekend

We’re taking some swings at game balance, and the first step is to take the gloves off and duke it out! In the past, we had some under-the-hood damage mitigations for Warriors and Rogues in PvP. These have been removed. We have also temporarily removed the Kill/ Death counters for penalty-free PvP. We’ll be collecting stats on how classes match up, so get out there and let us know! While you are at it, try out the new PvP map: Blood Beach. We’ll start a specific thread for PvP feedback.

PvE:

More bug fixes and tweaks:

- Increased gold and potion drops on all maps for parties
- Applying Frost Bolt Freeze no longer overrides the Time Shift Freeze Mastery, and time frozen enemies will remain frozen
- In preparation for new elites, Ren'gol Hulking Brutes and Orc Shamans are now immune to Time Freeze.
- Nordr now lets you enter at any level (but gives the appropriate warning)
- Players now allowed access to any non-elite dungeon except Kraken Isles at any level (but gives the appropriate warning)
- Kraken Isles does not allow access below level 10 (to prevent new player confusion and frustration)
- Flame Forged daggers (available from the Glintstone Token Vendor) have their proc buffed with reduced duration but increased damage by 35%
- Titan has had his active ability damage reduced to be more inline with other legendary pets

Store:

- [EDIT] Tapjoy Offers will soon be available for Android Clients – earn free plat! Coming soon to iOS
- Added 500 Health Potion to potion vendors (7250 in main HUD/Windmoore, 6750 in guild)
- Glintstone Coin Vendor now has a tradable sack of Glintstone coins for sale
- Increased capacity of Glintstone coins to 1200
- Lesser Jewel Sack now available from Glintstone Vendor

Crate Keys are here!

This weekend we’re putting Crate Keys in the store (until ~1:30 PM CST 4/25/16). We want to gently introduce these things to see how they affect the economy. Get ‘em while they are hot!

Thanks for all the help in prioritization, and please let us know how things are working in this thread!

See ya in Arlor,
