Patch Notes Servers Down Weds, April 12th for Patch 5.O

[Sarah Otter]

Hi, Everyone,

We will be bringing the servers down later this morning to push a small build to live. Servers will be down for about 30 minutes, and we’ll provide the usual in-game warnings 15 minutes prior.

Based upon player feedback, this small build contains some improvements/adjustments to classes. Please try them out, and let us know your thoughts. As we’ve said from the start, we plan to continue to iterate on class balance changes, so please do continue to provide feedback! Thank you!

When i notice 5.0 i thought we gonna get the house update. I was Expecting something big it turned out to be small.

 

[Stenlar1970]

Otters,

[DanFarrands]

Armonizar aumenta a los 60
Pero lo de aumenta las armaduras a 30% ; creo que es disminuye.

I'm super excited by the clickablity on damage charts!!! That's big in my mind .

Yes, looking forward to housing soon!

 

[Elijah Lin]

Improved male character model or did he just improve his abs? Dont get me wrong, I like abs… but my toon seems a lot more skinnier than before… and that chunky armour …isnt quite fetching…

Couldnt we have an option for the body type Small, Medium and Big body type

После обновлений, как и с маной, заходить в игру как-то страшновато. Вы можете увидеть еще больше разрушений игры и классов. После последнего обновления большое падение онлайна и уход многих высокоуровневых игроков показали, что такие обновления лучше не выпускать. Что хотят видеть игроки: новые фичи, события, локации, фичи, рейды, контент в целом. Что разработчики выпускают, так это улучшенную мужскую модель персонажа, вырезание классов, вырезание банок МП, изменение большинства умений в худшую сторону, загоняние классов и игроков в определенные рамки и игровые условия без возможности выбора и разнообразия в стиле игры, вырезание защита (особенно это хорошо видно на 95 высоких боссах, где игроки умирают от одного удара). Извините за грубость, но мана обновления меня реально сжигает...

 

[Stella StormSong]

Bless your ornery Ottery arteries for giving Ice Wizzies some attention. I will take Rhiannon out this evening and see how she handles <3

 

[Uruk]

I submitted a bug report concerning some of the gloves, like Star Child's and Moltan Paladin. They are messed up on boy toons now, with this "Improved male character model".

 

[Kookaburra]

I have a housing vendor in my village! So excited. But he does not seem ready to sell anything yet. I hope he opens for business soon.

Found the housing vendor, but i was not able to talk to him

 

[Stephen Huszar]

What da hell u made to male character model, you did female ridiculous before male did not need any improvemets, it need only beards, bulge in front and maybe customize bigger belly, i like to make chars looks like me in real life... Now even hands doesn't touch the body ...can you revert this please ?


Also, you replaced easter selection in item shop wit Sugarsweet

 

[Renaiss]

Now even hands doesn't touch the body

Oh my, that does look weird, lol. Maybe, when the housing update comes, the male toons will get toolbelts to fill that gap!

 

[Tareco]

Ty for looking at the holy dps question, it won't make us the top dps class but surely will help us to kill big things.
A special thanks for making Condemn work at Elders too, and more powerful with the Harmonize ult (it become more engaging to use too).

Now, about the new male body design, could we get the old version as an option pls? This new one isn't very pleasing to look at

Oh yeah, them hands look a little weird being so small. I think it works well for female toons to have wee hands but the male toon… with wee hands… Hmmm… my male toons thrive on big hands! Love the big hand look!

Again, if there are changes to the toon models, can we have them as an option???

 

[Kitty]

Yes please and definitely for women too. I hate the new female models.

 

[Zazie]

Yes please and definitely for women too. I hate the new female models.

I tolerate the new female models better than I did when they were first added, but I’m still not a huge fan of them. (I don’t think they’re great for your self-image, and they don’t promote body acceptance or the idea that people come in all shapes and sizes). If we can customize our toon’s height, then surely we should be able to customize our toon’s shape a bit more, too! (Please and thank you!)

I think they should all just be stick figures running around

Improvements

• Extended Raid Season 5 by 14 days.
• Players on the combat chart are now selectable.

1. With extended the raid season, new relicts also have a new extended time (14 days longer) but old pre-patch relict did not got this extended time. That looks a little bit unfair for players who already finished their raids and also for players who was lucky to got a legendary or celestrial relict. They now have the disadvantage of 14 days less keeping those relicts after raid season will end.

Since we can't be sure if this will still be fixed by the devs, or will simply be just ignored like the 'Easter egg items do not stack' issue, my advice to the players: Renew your relicts in time.

2. The combat charts are buggy.

a. The first tab (damage of players) is in the wrong order. Player with lowest damage is shown as #1 and player with most damage is on the last position.

b. The whole combat charts are only showing 5 players and you can not scroll (down), cause you forgot to implement the scrollbar (pc/steam).

(c. Playing with open combat charts generates more traffic and lag and makes the game unplayable if there are many players in one place (like in event zones). I personally dont think, that the combat charts are the solution to select players. Maybe create a new extra window what is similar and shows the hp of players. Players with low hp and (!) are in the range of x meters jump on top of this hp-charts and are easily selectable by healers. Why in range? Cause if e.q. someone dies and spawns somewhere, the player is on low hp and the healer would select and maybe would run in this direction (even if not wanted) or just can not heal and is wondering why...)

This is a known bug that will hopefully be fixed in the next update, if everything goes according to plans.

(c. Playing with open combat charts generates more traffic and lag and makes the game unplayable if there are many players in one place (like in event zones).

Combat charts don't generate more traffic, they just show you data on your screen that has already been logged (i.e. the traffic for the damage happens, if you display them or not). They also shouldn't really add to overall lag either, because they're quite simple and not very demanding (esp. compared to what's going on around you in a large fight).
If you still think having them open lags you big time, please bug report it so that our devs can take a look at your data. Thx!
