Dual Spec'ing and List of Issues We're Working On

[Samhayne]

We want to update everyone with what we're working on following yesterday's update of the game client to version 1.7.3.

Dual Spec'ing

• We will be making Respec's free for at least the next weekend so that players can experiment with their builds.
• Items level 45 and up will have their statistic requirements reduced so that equipment you used to be able to stat boost and equip will be equip-able without stat boosting.
• In a future client update we will be making the User Interface display your base stats so that you will know which items you can equip and which you cannot.
• Base stats will continue to be used to determine if you can equip an item or not.
• Dual spec'ing is alive and well! We encourage you to use the above free respecs to refine your build for maximum PWNAGE!
• The changes to items and free respecs will go out with the next game update.

Bugs we have fixed that will go out with the next update

• Registration issue with iOS client
• Skill points auto assign not correctly turning off when turned off. Make it turn off!
• You can buy a Platinum Respawn in PvP Maps.
• Invisible Rock in Oasis of Doom
• Vanity shields display with some 2 handed weapons equipped

Bugs we are looking into

• Problems with the Burning Barrels in Croc Swamps
• Xperia PLAY control scheme

If you have experienced a problem or bug other than the above list, PLEASE LET US KNOW! Thanks everyone for your support and patience while we've ironed out these issues.

thx! i was scared about the dual spec'ing bug

Does this mean stat boosting is no longer needed? So end-game set to end-game set through loadouts?

Correct!

[Ellyidol]

Correct!

Holy moly.. Thanks! This would be a really interesting change

[xantor]

Correct!

will it stay this way in update or just for now?...I see it also says made stats will continue to determine if item can be equipped or not so that's why I'm a bit confused. Thanks

My armor on my 56 mage seems a lot weaker as the enemies seem harder to kill?

Base stats will continue to be what determines if you can equip an item.

[Magepanda]

What does this mean for lower lvl dual specs. e.g. my 35 str dex bear?

[superrolltop]

no stash access in FH on my level 1, no more kills when xp disabled.

I'm so confused .....does this mean in update next dual spec will be gone?

[stank]

So this means ill still be able to use my enchanted set and switch to my custom or raid set? Any idea on when this dual spec update will take place? Thanks sam

Xantor,

Dual spec'ing will still be there. For example, you can go full STR for the stat bonuses, or split STR / DEX. You just can't boost your stats to equip items that have higher stat requirements to equip.

Later today - the team is going over the update for final tweaks and fixes.

Ty for clearing this up for me Sam.

[AdinoEznite]

you said items lvl 45 and up will have their stat reqs reduced...

but what about boosting at lower lvls say dual specing at lvl 10? a gingerbread req i think 32 str does that mean we have to have 32 str BEFORE we equip? giving us a total of like 37 str after?

[stank]

Ok im not sure if im fully understanding. So if i split dex and int into 142/142 i wont b able to dual spec with custom and enchanted sets. Or are you saying ur gonna lower the stat requirements for all sets including lvl 55 sets. Or am i just a tard and worring for nothing

[Technique]

I got another question, I already spent platinum to respec. Will I get a refund? Or did I mess up and respec to early

[Marrypoppins]

I liked it the way it was myself and don't see any need to change it but.....

[JaytB]

Cool! That sound great! Looks like dual speccing will become really interesting this way. Can't wait to start experimenting with builds
