    Quote from Xanadú

    The new, additional, way is a great add-on, and i appreciate, but again, why nerf the old way, if you want to help players ?

    Quite simply, skills would've been the secondary method to obtain it, rather than complementing each other, with previous amount of XP given from auto attacks (especially when using 2x 1h), it would've outshined XP gained from skills heavily, to the point that it would be almost useless. Meaning it had to be reduced to be added to skills to make the change worthwhile, as well as ensuring using 2x 1h weapons is the same as 1x 2h for fairness.


    Quote from Xanadú

    These changes follow the same pattern as most changes, one step into a good new feature, wich comes along with remove of long appreciated features.

    I alway see this as PAF, player annoyance features. And I still don't get the reaosning.

    Not all changes will be popular, and some end up happening due to balance reasons which may not always be clear to the players due to not having access to logs or additional data. But if you can clarify other features which you felt got removed due to updates, we could take a further look.

    Quote from Zetsu99

    Let me emphasize this once again previously, with weapon skill XP and the prestige pet, it was possible to almost any weapon to level 200 within an hour (no one can deny this).


    Quote from Zetsu99

    it took me almost 20 hours with a 500% bonus just to go from level 50 to 110.

    Unfortunately these two statements contradict each other quite heavily. Weapon Experience was only reduced by ~70% from auto attacks, so this math doesn't quite make sense.


    Please clarify which weapon type you were using, and if you used 2x weapons or not (assuming 1h weapon) and class used, as well as attack speed runes.


    Either way, we have added aura to Itnal Camp to boost weapon experience by 25% for this area with next patch, to alleviate some concerns with AFK training slightly. Whilst ensuring it is still balanced in other areas.

    Like everyone else, most of us are focused on clearing high-end dungeons.

    This change allows you to gain more weapon experience through running these instances than before.

    Quote from Zetsu99

    You argued that weapon leveling should be done through skill usage rather than basic attacks but in fact, we all know thats just not practical. In many cases, even with a basic starter set, mobs die with one hit. That leaves no room for extended combat or skill usage. Ironically, your argument pushes players into more repetitive grinding, not less.

    Using 1 skill is providing more experience than what players would've got previously from killing this monster, likely 0 due to it being unlikely that player would've even reached auto attack range before skill killed them.


    Quote from Zetsu99

    In fact, when I don’t have time to play actively, leveling weapons AFK has proven to be far more efficient and realistic.

    It's still available in multiple forms should you choose to do it.


    Quote from Zetsu99

    Also, I don’t believe your justification holds up. It doesn’t reflect the actual experience of long time players, and it certainly doesn’t offer a fair or consistent path forward. I urge you to reconsider both the design decisions and the communication strategy moving forward.

    As previously mentioned in former post, changing design or reverting this change isn't planned, but numbers may be adjusted to increase experience in various ways based on feedback from players. Communicating changes outside of patch notes isn't planned for most content, due to the fact it can often slow down development time for content, however you may choose to apply as tester to give opinions before a patch whilst testing upcoming patch content.

    Quote from Zetsu99

    The way you nerfed weapon levels is truly disappointing. For so long, people have been comfortably leveling up their weapons, and no one expected such a decision from you. This is completely unfair, and I believe the best decision would be to revert it as soon as possible. Additionally, all these changes make the game unnecessarily difficult and exhausting for new players. Wonder if these adjustments were made just to force people into buying prestige..

    Hello


    Unfortunately your post lacks justification behind your reasoning why you see this change as a bad thing, making it hard to understand your opinion.


    However, it's worth noting that players are likely to get a much higher level after our changes just by levelling up their classes than before due to using way more spells than auto attacks. This change allows the training of weapons to be done passively whilst playing the game, rather than leaving PC overnight whilst you train(not engaging gameplay). If you wish to still do this through AFK methods, you still have the option to do it via auto attacking (albeit at a slower rate than before), or using encyclopaedias inside your house, which wasn't adjusted.


    There is currently no plans to revert this change, however based on feedback(of which there was currently little negative, except from few concerns before server was opened on day of patch), the numbers may be tweaked in future.

    Hello


    This simply indicates that there is egg in close proximity, not that there is an egg directly next to you. This message was added as extra helper due to players struggling to find the eggs normally. There is currently many eggs placed throughout this zone which can be used for this event.

  • Plantation's titles

    Hello


    This change will be added in a future patch.


    Quote from notrasta

    An other suggestion would be to add the need items for titles (id's : 205084 / 205085 / 205086) drops with lvl 100 seeds as it seems to don't drop actually.

    It's not planned to alter this mechanic, these drops are included as part of the bonus loot when farming lower level seeds and being higher planting level.

  • I can't access Rainbow Egg Detector - Event thread

    Hello


    The Rainbow Egg Detector - Event thread was removed because it contained outdated information. We noticed that some players were being misled by the content and began reporting the event as bugged.


    After a thorough review, we can confirm that the event is functioning correctly. To avoid further confusion, we decided to take down the thread.

  • Belathis Fortress (Hard) Maderoth

    Hello


    This instance is known to be quite messy, and breaks randomly. Fixing issues is on the todolist for future, however not currently planned to be handled anytime soon, due to time required to fix such issues would be comparable to recoding entire instance.

  • TargetNearestFriend/Enemy Usage Limits

    Hello


    This was causing performance issues not only for player using it, but also players around the user. Currently it's not planned to remove this block from macros, however usage limits may be adjusted, you may also manually use it from tab keybind as much as you like, change is just to block excessive use inside macro loops.

    Quote from kleos

    Hello,

    With +1,000 DROP, I have been entering 750208 [Varanas Nightmare] almost every day for about a month. There are 3 cards I need here. Despite spending so much time and effort to obtain these cards, I have not been able to obtain them yet.

    Could the DROP rate of this map and these creatures be low? Or could there be another problem? I'm just curious.

    Thank you.

    These cards aren't part of the new system, meaning they have much lower drop chance then new system cards, as well as having drop rate reduction due to being higher level than the monster you're killing.

    Neither of these quests are related to counters as they aren't included in collectible system.

    Quote from Mela

    es schon ein ziemliches durcheinander geworden würde es nicht sinn machen jede Zone in einen eigenen Post zu packen und dann sortiert nach Gebiet Instanz etc.

    Hello


    It all will become more clear once planned codex frame is implemented, which will show all requirements in nice way, even listing each quest/title etc. It is however waiting for UI framework to be handled before it can be implemented.


    Quote from kleos

    With Patch Notes 11.1.5.1007, the number of required quests in the Elf Island has been reduced to 1. This is great, but I still can't figure it out. Even though I have completed all the quest and received all the titles, what is the missing quest?

    Some players have already reached 100%, meaning it is possible to reach this. You may use QuestState to find these quests you miss whilst waiting for above mentioned interface, however according to logs, you're missing Save Plant Seeds quest.

  • Abschalten von AU

    Quote from kleos

    For example, I was using this addon especially for the ROFL final Boss because I'm sure this boss challenges the mathematics of many players. This was very easy thanks to AU. Now I think there will be a lot of difficulty in this regard too.

    Such features aren't exclusive to original AU which was disabled and causing issues. AULite is still having these features, which remains available to download and use (although currently requires some updates from it's player developer). These features are also available in other addons inside the launcher.

    Quote from Fellicity

    Als Nutzer von "AULite" (inklusive der AULib) kann ich bestätigen das auch mit dem vermeintlichen Fix (CurrencyLink in BasePlugins zu löschen) nicht den erwünschten Erfolg gebracht hat.

    Unfortunately as team are unable to read code of addon, we can only speculate what could be general "fixes" to maintain as much functionality as possible for users of it, ultimately it is still required for addon developer to fix it in such cases.

  • Abschalten von AU

    Quote from Pistan

    Ich sehe das alles ein, aber z.B. der WB Kolanda heute oder vor wenigen Minuten war ein Traum :-(. Kaum Schaden außer den glücklichen die eine Lua hatten.

    Es wird noch einige Zeit dauern bis alle das neue Kitty verstanden haben und es wieder zum laufen bringen.

    Meine Sorge ist, dass aus diesem Grunde einige Spieler den Server verlassen werden und das tut uns allen weh.

    Und ich denke, dass es nur die eine Möglichkeit gibt AU wieder zu aktivieren bis zeitnah eine Lösung gefunden wird.

    Kitty inside AULite is the same as old AU addon, as well the author has been asked to upload it separately alongside AU, for players who wish to use it whilst AULite is not updated.

  • Abschalten von AU

    Quote from Pistan

    Ok Danke werde ich versuchen.

    Aber einen Vorschlag hätte ich noch^^. Warum gebt Ihr AU nicht frei aber auf eigene Gefahr? Bei mir lief es bis zum heutigen Patch ohne Probleme. Ich denke auch, dass es viele Spieler gibt die ebenfalls keine Probleme hatten. Wenn dann bei einem Spieler Probleme auftreten dann muss halt AU runter.

    Evtl. könnte man ja eine Umfrage machen zu wer hat Probleme mit AU und wer hat keine.

    Dann ergibt sich ja ein Bild :)

    mfg. Pistanos

    Unfortunately AU is a large addon, with little config options for the large amount of features it offers, meaning that whilst it may work in some ways, constant game updates are still causing errors in the background, just not enough to crash entire interface.


    Original ArcadiaUtilities is causing thousands of errors every few minutes due to the fact it's not maintained, which cause large client instabilities the longer the client runs, draining FPS and eventually would likely cause the client to crash.


    Whilst it could be done at own risk of players, we still get numerous reports daily from users of ArcadiaUtilities, and ArcadiaUtilitiesLite for bugs that are built directly into these addons, as users don't know about the large amount of backend features it offers. As such, it's not planned to remove this block for non-lite version. For performance reasons it causes, the aforementioned issues and the fact it's not even maintained by it's original developer, and we're unable to take responsibility for it, due to being closed source code.
