it got nerfed bad, i could clear 1phase Hedo before, now i do half the damage. I think there is less ticks for the dots. Makes no sense why nobody is talking about this. Now i need either the rusk or the new blood weapon at over 600m to go back to where i was before

[jiasiseci]

nerf
How is it possible that they nerf almost absolutely everything, just because of the new weapons? Doesn't it turn out that they would release more difficult maps? Now, as I have read, I have to buy a 600m+ weapon to have the damage that was previously had.

The proc tick rates got standardized to the rate of the slowest weapon (1 sec.) - and this is a nerf to Kraken procs.

We've heard lots of negative feedback on this change and will be looking into ways to address it. Given what I see on live, we should have balancing room on this - enough to speed up those procs. Probably not to the rate of the fastest ticks pre-standardization, but better than they are now.

We'll have more to announce on this early next week.

The fact that you guys consider and review player feedback is a huge plus to the AL community. By buffing kraken to a decent tick rate you are going to improve gameplay for a lot of players who still haven't even come close to Rusk/Blood/Elemental items. Keep up the great work!

Oh no no no
I don't think you get what's happening
The slowest proc rate of krak weapon is krak aegis(shield)
So what this means is every single other class got a nerf and warrior is the only one unaffected

This is like another ninja buff to warrior,
Mage and rogue is already underpowered compared to war
how is everyone still thanking them for being "considerate"?

Revert it, completely, thank you

Man how they gonna nerf kraken weapons and think we can all purchase 500m arcane weapons to keep up with the best players

It's almost a week since they ruined these weapons for us and no update to fix it, though readjusting every other set. Rogue health is too low for this slow kraken weapons proc, so farming elite Indigo isn't even fun anymore. I have no possibility of farming enough gold to get the new arc gear without that, so after many years and many dollars spent here, I am finally out. Changes to this game have made it so there's really no reason to stay anymore, this is the last straw.

When I joined this game many years ago, it was a joy to log in every day and run adventures with new friends around the world for hours. The difference between the best equipped and least equipped was minimal and everyone just ran the maps all together. Free to play players were given options to still enjoy the game, from plat offers to ads for lixes to event opportunities to mid-priced weapons and sets with slightly lesser stats than whatever was op at that level cap. (Is it even possible to be f2p at level cap now? I don't think so.) What we learned in those years is it is a mix of game environment and the players themselves that make AL an amazing place to enjoy some free time.

It has devolved since then, and a very selfish ethos arose in the player base and now even the development team. In my opinion, this started with speed sets; the same guys who blew past the others in og KT4 to take all the energy are now doing the same in elite Indigo and every event map. Many developments like this in the game have changed AL from a place where we all worked together and helped each other improve to one where ego and greed seem to drive most players' every decision. There were already thousands of single player games out there, there was no reason to turn AL into that. Just like there is no reason to feel developers' fingers in my pocket every time I log in. Every event and nearly every aspect of the game is modified so only a few whales benefit and the rest suffer. Why would you ruin something so beautiful?

Not many of my friends are still playing, so shout out to my husbands Jhamboora and Jinkes, my beloved Legendary Martyrs and Awakening guildies, my many maus buddies; it was an honor to serve with you and make fun parties after a good night of grinding labyrinths. My candy dish will stay in my house, but next Halloween I won't be around to share it with everyone. Glixr out

[dexxiedex]

What are you saying lol. They re-rebalanced krak weapons to do damage almost the same as they did before. Krak daggs for example went from damage every .33 second to 1.0 seconds back to .5 seconds. Did you even check? I've never farmed gold, am not a whale and seem to be doing more than fine. It's a shame.

Yes they try different things to manipulate people.
Here is few ways they use right
1. Using people in towns: i bet you seen when an aura was added or gear, you see people that make like crazy: like they spam in chat "buy blood gear, buy new aura " for overprice and after few hours of event these people just dissapear and suddently there are no buyers and that thing drop value. Why they do this? First people would thing that item is expensive and they will buy plats to open it to get it and sell in auction, but somehow that thing don t get sold and plats buyer lose money and keep item.
2. Using maps. Let s take new blood weapons, or maybe mythic 81 when they added. Mythic weapon 81 did they had constant proc? No hyperos gun you needed few good charced attacks to proc it, same for aegesi or bow. Why they did it? Because when they added kraken weapons for people was something insane, like new weapon to proc every attack wow wow definetly gonna buy them since people got sick to spam charged attack on old ones. Blood weapons, here was a fail because they try manipulate by making kraken worst ( like rhe best weapons in the game) and let something worst come in to it. How they did it, by increasing health of mobs and making them like mithic 81. Here people got mad, because developers made them level 81. Why this rhing happen? Because they hurry the mythic 86, and few people had them to test them. Why they hurry them and didn t rhink, idk. If mythic 86 was something like mythic 81, but with more damage than kraken, definetly they wouldn t be so criticized right now.
3. Fps or latency, some people walk throw maps, why? Because their latency is 0 and they don t die to critical hits landed by mobs. Rest who has low devices experiment this think every run in indigo. This makes people mad, and increase their will of spending to get more powerful, but rhe thing is they need change their devices latency to perform in the game, not their stats.

It's still 1 second per tick lol they didn't touch kraken weaps they only buffed sb/zod/blood star weapons.

They are now all 0.5 sec. This change went out on Monday.

Which Kraken weapon are you using that still has a 1 sec tick?

You forgot to put it on content update then probably cause there is nothing about kraks there so I thought you guys letting them stay nerfed

Edit: Also didn't bother testing them after seen nothing about it so can't say anything about how it feels right now.

[Wizzzaq]

It's just plain ridicilious. These kraken/star beast weapons have been in the game for a long time now. So you guys had plenty of time before those weapon releases and after releases to balance the weapons.

Which I don't think had/has to happen, because the weapon procs are good and not overpowered or something. The new maps and all new future content for the game is already hard enough for everyone.

Players buy platinum/real money/spend gold to use these weapons, changing the stats/procs of these weapons is actually a criminal thing to do. You guys should refund players their money or a part of their money.

This also shows how bad you guys test your game. When the lvl 81 expansion released you guys changed the way proc stacking works, but somehow players are still able to proc kraken weapon, cosmic killer proc and then use their damage build. How is that possible? When you release a new weapon you also need to consider this fact that players will proc mutiple weapons for better stats/damage output.

It's also funny how you guys nerf all these proc weapons a bit after the new blood weapons have released. You guys are just pushing players to buy the new weapons. You guys clearly don't know anything about the game if you think those proc weapon were overpowered.

Also these new blood weapons have such horrible procs XD. Imagine nerfing all the old proc weapons to then release new weapons with horrible procs. Nice design choices.

It's crazy how human beings change when there's a lot of money going around and you have a lot of power.

Everyone should step up against these decisions that are being made.

They didn't put it in the content update indeed. Probably also didn't even change kraken weapons procs anyways.

It's in this content update: https://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...pdate-(320235)

Are you saying that this info is absent from the game? If so, we can address that. Thanks!

Yes we know it is in this content update but you forgot to specify it for kraken weapons like you know "Kraken weapon proc tick rates adjusted/buffed from 1 sec to 0.5 sec"

In the content update notes there is only zodias, blood star and star beast weapons mentioned.

Also yes it doesn't say anything in game update notes as well since both notes are copy pasted. Just to make things clear.

Gotcha!

So we're clear - the KRAKEN weaponry was buffed on Monday (tick rates). We'll make sure it is spelled out ;-)
