Howdy folks, we've
heard a ton of your requests and today our response begins. Happy 4/20, here is what we have rolled up for tomorrow:
New Set:
We’re adding a new item type to the game with the Anti-gnome set! This set will help you in the Glintstone and Underhul maps. While in these maps, the more pieces of a set you wear the better the buffs will be.
There are 5 pieces to a set: Armor (craftable), Helms (gold heretic chests), Belts (boss drop), Necklaces (boss drop), Rings (massive cryrostar crates).
These set items will be tradable. There will be a new NPC in Glintstone that can help point the way to the new set items.
An NPC has been added to the Guild Castles that will tell you your list of Achievement Points progress.
- We’ve increased the Max Currency for Glintstone Coins to 1200
- Upgrade and crafting completed cut scenes can now be skipped
Previously we have had a behind-the-scenes set of damage modifiers where we increased warrior damage and decreased rogue damage. We are removing these modifiers. Warriors may feel less powerful, Rogues will definitely feel more powerful in PvP. Knock yourselves out in PvP matches and let us know how you like these new more dangerous conditions. We’ve removed the PvP kill and death count stats for now while we work on balance. We're adding in a lot of under-the-hood tracking so we can look at actual numerical data. We're committed to getting this thing balanced, so get out there and get bloody!
We’re also adding another PvP map: Blood Beach. This is a Team Deathmatch arena. It is smaller than Dark Forest with no Troll, so it is all about movement, tactics, and skill.
- 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:
- Tapjoy Offers should be available for Android clients (coming soon to iOS)
- Added 500 Health Potion to potion vendors (7250 in main HUD/Windmoore, 6750 in guild)
- Crate Keys will be temporarily available in the Store until 1:30 pm CST on Monday 4/25/16.
That’s what is on tap for this week. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this, and anything else.
Thanks,
-g
