Feedback: Arcane Blood Star Weapons

[Sampep]

Can yall buff crate sb and blood drop rate remove all the legendary crap or half of it cuz i opened 1500 crates and out of that i only got 1 blood belt and 0 star beast except from guarantee. And make so each time we open crates the chances to loot sb or blood get higher until u get 1 of any sb or blood piece then reset it to 0 the way yall have nobody ever going to get blood or sb or spend plat this is worse then a gacha were after each items grabbed it is removed and increase loot rate of all other items that are left

True facts money talks if we stop buying crates they will lose money and then they will have to do something so smart

We had one back in the day. We shut it down for two key reasons: player participation and insider influence over the market.

On the first point, players didn't play on the test server. The general sentiment was 'why grind, advance, earn gold, etc. on a fake server only to have to do it again on the live game server.' On top of that, the few that did play did not give us feedback.

With respect to the market, the players that did log in to the test server used the information they gathered to affect their fortunes in the live game (as they were the first to see incoming balance changes and the first to see new content).

So I think you can say the real problems are inherent: the game involves a lot of grinding to advance and you don't get credit on Live for doing things on Beta Test - as you shouldn't as things on a test server are totally out of whack, generally (and on purpose). The game also has a vibrant trade meta that could be heavily influenced (and that's not even dealing with the potential for misinformation).

It is also a lot of work for a small, indie company like ours to maintain multiple complete game servers.

Yes influenced by who? By your team? If your team don t buy staff that are in auction the game really would die. Imagine in just couple of days an aura devalue so much. Idk you should add the sell option 1500 plat aura=100m gold same for looted vanity/ crafted vanity. I don t think is normalto cry half a day to find someone to buy ugly staff that you add in game.

After converting the blood weapon to ascendant version and complete the quest and the achievements is it any option to revert to original state that you can sell it ?
Is the achievement for those new weapons only? ,or you can use any of other blood weapons on future?
Will be need to convert the future blood weapons to ascendant and make separate achievements for any of them?

[Youraveragemage]

When are mage getting a buff to the sb weapons, every sb weap for mage is useless, no dmg and singe target proc. When both war and rog got a nice aoe proc (shield, daggs).
Its even worse now since krak weapons got a nerf.
Please consider making sb staff a aoe proc like shield and daggs.

There is no going back after converting to the Ascendant. You choose to have a bound weapon that gains stats or you keep one that you can potentially trade.

The AP is for whatever Ascendant weapon you craft and max-out per character like all other AP's

Currently no plans to have individual achievements for individual weapons; just the general achievements for having crafted and having maxed-out an Ascendant.

Hi Cinco,

Regarding the current state of the new blood weapons. If you're not planning to release different elemental types for each weapon (Please no Don't do this ._. ) which would require a lot of work on your end and could be overwhelming (too overwhelming) for players I suggest making them elemental instead. This would simplify things out.

Additionally, I believe the main reason why the blood weapons are underperforming is that they lack an armor debuff or reduction, which most of your other weapons have but the new blood weapons had none ._. . The idea was first brought up by Stef. I suggest adding it and test it out for yourselves it might be the key to improve it's performance. Lastly I'm looking forward seeing the additional hit (combo) vs bosses that you mentioned. Really hoping you guys consider this tysm :3

Please include the green icon for blood chakrams that shows the proc is active. Right now it's only showing the 10s cooldown icon

I think the 20K damage exaggeration threw me off. A variance of ~300 points doesn't seem insane; but worthy of investigation nevertheless :-)



Thanks for all the great info! I believe that adding a substantial armor debuff to the target and some sort of bonus combo damage versus Bosses will improve all Blood Star weapons significantly.



I totally understand why some players would want to resell their Ascendant Blood Star, but I respectfully disagree. We also already have quite a few players who have crafted these.

Dear sts-
Every elite weapon you have released lately (zaar, krak, sb) has had this debuff, and should be all blood star is missing. Glad you figured it out!
That being said, every day, 10 times a day, I hear rogue especially has become unplayable to the level they were played before.
That is roughly a third of your player base. Op rogues with a bil+ in gear cant even p1 hedo now.
Other classes comment as well, but I can see by the amount of sales I hear in gc, that there is an issue here.
Its not a gold nerf with other places available. Its disrupting play enough that I hear 'im not coming back til this is fixed'
I understand ur power curve concerns, I do.
You just hit it too hard, too fast. No time to adapt, no stepping stone, no time to adjust play.
You took weapons of a 1/3 of a second, and made them 3x slower, at one second.
Were they too fast for the curve you envision? Possible. However, at this point I think you need to worry more about today than a year from now. Thats a whole lot of time to adjust gameplay appropriately. Its a game, you are creators. You see the ahead, and have time to create solutions for the future. People, and companies, that swing a big axe have a bad tendency to
hit things they didnt mean to. In this case, you needed a scalpel. I cant say it any plainer.
Please adjust the tick appropriately.
Apologies for the extensive post

Isn't the post for what I'll say now, but I believe we need a stone for inventory that will multiply the elemental damage by 0.01,
So if you have element damage to any equipment except bio to give a little bit of it , imagine if you have 240 element damage (from equipment slotted jewelry) , 0,01 X 240 =2,4 only but you can use them, those gems you maybe put because of mistakes, no info on page, no info from guild and no accurate description on item.
To much items have not accurate description or deceptive description.

Yes this is what was needed. It's finally better then kraken bow proc now. Tysm for hearing out the community on this matter

[Stefal]

Ty! @cinco , @asommers

[FilthyCustard]

The latest patch is amazing, finally buffs coming out to sb and zod and the blood weapon feeling like an actual 86 arcane.
Ty for hearing out the community

Weapon is a lot better now. However, testing in timed fly with a mix of blood/sb still out performing full blood with bio amulet. Blood set is still not making up in procs and damage for the 1k main stat loss. Unlike kraken gear (that didn't have a set buff) replacing zaar, blood set under performs. I ran several times and my time was better with the mix everytime. Idk if the elemental damage buffs are doing it's thing or if they need to be considerably higher to make an impact but the belt, ring and bracelet are not worth using now. At least for me. I will test full bio with blood and chain later.

Ps please don't nerf sb set thank you

I believe most players are still using blood helm/armor/arti- I've had better results now with Blood weapon using blood belt/arti/ring/brace sb/helm/armor/amulet due to the %elemental on these blood items. If you or anyone else tries this way I'd like to know their results also

[arcanelengends]

I tested with zod aegis this patch buff 0.5s tick for wp zod but it doesn't work, I tested and saw the damage still jumps 5 times equivalent to 5s proc, instead of 10 times damage jump, please check again thank you !

[capeo]

I tested full blood and sb with belt, ring and amulet mix. Full blood with bio amulet even. Did more damage with the sb mix. All with chain. I want to test full bio tonight with chain. I wasn't impressed in hedo tho when I used it there.

Overall bio and chain still don't impress me. Feels like something isn't doing what it's supposed to. It might be something else but full bio with chain doesn't outperform my normal set up.
