I remember few changes on this boss since instance start. This time is little different because you were so brave to put it in patchnotes and forum.

Maybe Im too rough but I am really tired of "It seems to work as intended" and then suddenly appears small "OOOPS" and you change something, despite the fact all this been tested.

How can I know is it the same, is a bit different, or completely different? Or you will not change this again to another version? Or if pets are working or not unless I go there and check for myself. Ehh

Greetings,

The main issue with this boss was a miscommunication between the development team and the testers. The testers didn't see a visible change without being hit (even though it should have gotten one) and we got the feedback that things were working properly. Now that the depth of the issue came to light, efforts have been made to fully correct this bosses event.

We have learnt that we need to better communicate to the testers how and what exactly the behaviour of bosses is in order to eliminate circumstances like that in the future.

Quote from Leszix

Anyway, is it possible the last door be open automatically after kill all previous bosses, without this stupid runes? If someone got dc or go save his house from fire, rest of the party is "bad word"

We will change this in the future.

Thank you for your feedback,

Greetings,

Thank you for your suggestions regarding the Knights 'Disarmament'.

We currently have plans for that skill, which can't be realized at the moment, which will definitely make the skill good again. One could say it'll be golden for it.

We will keep your basic idea in mind to possibly use with another skill, as there are a few ISS still pending a rework on the horizon. We're always happy to read your suggestions, we just can't promise that they'll be implemented verbatim.

Hooroo,

Brontes.

We've already implemented the change to no longer need Gorge or Inferno to enter ROFL in Patch 10.7.1.3020.

Quote from PATCH NOTES 10.7.1.3020

• Removed need of completing Inferno of Divinity and Gorge of the Ice Giants quests in order to go into next instance after getting requirements of Understand the Happenings quest complete.

Hooroo and thank you for your suggestion,

Brontes.

Greetings,

Thank you for your feedback and bug report!
We've already noted that the description was missing. To clarify now, the buff lasts for 20 seconds and is applied to the entire party. This, and 'Metamorph - Demon Witch Ancalon' will be fixed with the next patch.

Hooroo,

Brontes

Greetings,

The order in which you recieve these titles is correct, but the logic on their description is flipped and will be fixed with the next patch.

Hooroo,

Brontes

Greetings,

We're currently not planning any change like that, as we feel like the opportunity cost of rune swapping needs to stay intact.

Hooroo,

Brontes.

Quote from playboy

not fully understanding of how this works, i know its for all classes i just put in warlock cuz it was quickest

• • The Scales of Justice will modify Damage Dealt, Damage Taken, Hitpoints and Healing Taken depending on class combination.

Main Class	Sub Class	Damage Dealt	Damage Taken	HP	Healing Taken
Warlock	Champion	-40%	20%	-40%	-20%
Warlock	Knight	15%	20%	-30%	-20%
Bard	Scout	-15%	-10%	/	-30%
Scout	Bard	-25%	/	/	/

These Changes are for PvP only, not the Warlock Class in general.

While you are in any Battleground, you will gain a buff that modifies the afformentioned values.

Hooroo,

Brontes.

Quote from ZaciukamCie

Rework of:

Knight/Warrior

Knight/Champion

Knight/Druid

Knight/Scout - it doesnt need rework but..tbh all of us pick it just to wear bow?

With druid there is like almost extra 17% stamina.. for what tbh? Its almost as much % as K/Ch o.o

Also elite for damage % - with warrior we already have bonus to all weapons while champ only for hammers.

The only thing I see about all the classes is - each one must perform in any role and this is completely wrong way.

Tank is tank - with plate armor not chain or clothes or leather (or just skins on) and not a typical dps as players want.

Okay you can do it - why not if its possible, but still - main role of tank is to take thunders and keep enemy focussed on you.

Yes, this is the only case where should be a combo that outperforms the rest of Knight/xxxxx and in general I mean knight/warrior. As this combo is almost forgotten (useless) because it doesn’t posses any support skills (lol?)

Greetings,

Thank you for your feedback.

The idea behind the base designs of these tank combos is to have them viable at base level at all content (meaning that it is theoretically possible to conquer the game with one class combination) but that different situations are more or less challengening, depending on class choice. This also includes Warden tanks.

Hooroo,

Brontes.

Greetings.

We've heard you and will add a mercy system, which will guarantee specialty material drops at certain thresholds of coins thrown into the well. We will publicize these barriers in the planned patch notes in the upcoming days.

Hi,

would it be possible to change the Sound of Plunderers Protection(1502771) that it is not triggering every second ?

Also the torches in endbossroom also have this debuff

We have added a task for this debuff to no longer make any sound.

Hooroo,

Brontes.

Greetings,

While your frustrations with the current system are understandable, please keep in mind that the system is not meant to be soley for endgame players. Sathkur allround, even with just the free weekly entry, provides a significant amount of progress for those that need more than one nostalgia instance to progress.

You will receive magicite and splinters at sufficient quest progression, yes, but not in quantities to fully substitute the real instance. Substitution was never the goal. To specifically farm one material, it is advisable that the specific instance is farmed instead.

Quote from Pistan

According to one piece of information, you should bring your drop rate to at least 900% before handing in the coins at the fountain, which would mean a noticeable improvement.

That is not correct. Drop rate has no impact on the Wishing Well.

Hooroo,

Brontes

Greetings,

please keep in mind that the Arcane Chamber of Sathkur (hard) is supposed to be a catch up instance, designed to reduce the grind for new or returning players to get back into the game over time. The instance is meant to supplement nostalgia content, not replace it.

Smaller parties will get significantly lower amounts of loot. While you can't take one of your own characters to boost your parties haul, it is highly recommended to try and fill the empty spaces with other players, as additional players aren't taking away any of your loot (except for cards, which are decently common).

We've not added RNG to the loot per se, we simply moved the RNG portion of what is gotten to a seperate step, instead of direct drops. While these drops aren't guaranteed, a player can expect to see at least one specialty material per 250 coins thrown into the well.

It is relatively rare that none of these materials are obtained, more commonly players will gain one or more materials.

Hooroo,

Brontes.

We will implement this after the next patch.

Hooroo,

Brontes

Thank you for your suggestion.

We have decided not to implement this change.

Hooroo,

Brontes.

Greetings,

We've added new sets for Phirius Shells in the past, which allow players to get neccessary stats and catch up much quicker. You may find Vendors for these Items on the pier of Atlantis.

Quote from Denis987

May be return old Priest/druid elite skills:
1) 1490960 (i dont know, why i should use staff, if stick + talisman with 12-13 lvl runes give more, then this skill)
2) 1490463 (need give normal heal in units, not in % or remove very long cast)
3) 1490464 (casting time 3s, remove heal bonus, cd 25s, activity 15s, heal every 3s)
4) 1490468 (raid heal every 3s, if target get damage many times, 20% damage transferred to caster)
After last nerfs this class combination is dead, but i think we can return him w/o a full rebalance.

Greetings.

Thank you for your feedback about this class. We already have some significant changes planned for the combination, not too different from your suggestions.

Quote from Ceophilix

Hey, I hope this is the right place for it:

Is it possible to change the buff value of the priest/druid buffs back to fixed values. The whole "who's buff is better ahh XXX one's better so we take him with us" or you're not allowed to buff 'cause XXX has a higher buff is more than exhausting.

- Concentration Prayer (ID:493530)
- Grace of Life (ID: 490290)

- Amplified Attack (ID: 490491)

I don't know if it was discussed before... but it is becoming a big problem for many not "high-end" geared people.

Furthermore it's bad in my opinion that all neccesary buffs of priest and druide are general skills...

The focus of the class balancing should be to make all classes kind of equal and not give up on their favorite class. Regarding the heal rework:

Currently you get forced to play druid/priest in almost every raid. That isn't balanced in my opinion.

I would wish for more diversity in the class selection and i think that can be fixed by making the priest buffs or at least Amplified Attack (ID: 490491) and Concentration Prayer (ID:493530) Primary only

Thank you

Thank you for your feedback.

The buffs have been designed, as suspected, to give healers a good reason to stack more wisdom and grade their gears higher to feel the impact.

We're at an impass in this game where nerfing heal classes would cut off the less-skilled players from the game entirely, as damage taken is unevenly applied within different instances. Healing, unlike damage, doesn't get progressively harder to deal within content.

We're monitoring class diversity within healers pretty heavily, which is why we regularly apply small changes to the classes to push more into the realm of viability.

If you have suggestions for healer classes to push them into realm of the viable, please let us know. We love to hear them.

This is intended. The stats are aimed at newer players. The 'Unknown' and 'Times Past' stat lines are available here.

Quote from Madox

Quote from Brontes

The individual ticks of the skill are three times more potent now.

Old one: per second.

267x3= 801 in 3 seconds, 267 per second.

New one: every 3 seconds.
320x1 = 320 in 3 seconds.

Are you sure?

Display More

Healing over Time is calculated as total heal divided by it's intervals, not by multiplying individual values. Increasing the delay between intervals reduces the total ticks, which in turn increases the heal done by these individual ticks. Camelia's total heal over the duration has not changed.

Hooroo,

Brontes

Quote from Madox

Why d/p have its duration increased to 15s and this dont? Please change.

Druid/Priest has had it's regenerations changed to make group-healing more difficult. The duration was increased as we have found that the class could not really function with skill as low duration.

Druid/Scout does not have this problem, hence an increase to it's aoe-heal is not warranted.

Quote from Madox

Also do something about camelia. It was per 1s and now 3s. Also the cost is ridiculously high.

Decreasing the frequency of Healing Over Time effects increases their ticks strength accordingly. The individual ticks of the skill are three times more potent now. The entirely negated cost of the skill also made it too easy to heal with.

Additionally, camelia has caused issues on many people's ends and shredding their game performance when used. Reducing the rate at which the skill is healing has helped tremendously without hurting the total heal done.

Quote from xLutinex

I fast checked the values. 1400% seems only possible with 40% artifact boost (5 hits in 60 Seconds). That's nothing a tank relies on.

So perma aggro is around 1000% which is ~50% higher than before (only calculated/tested with my equip)

As stated in the original post, values were and still are subject to change if necessary. Quite a few values have been adjusted since thursday. Internal tests have shown that aggro is not an issue if one plays their class correctly. If you have different experiences after your own tests, feel free to share them here.

Hooroo,

Brontes

Quote from xLutinex

Btw what about rogue/champ? The class can only wear 1 recon rune. That will not possible to play anymore ? XD

We have already planned (but not yet implemented) further aggro changes. These will be reflected in the planned patch notes once added into the que to be patched.
These will include (optional) aggro reductions for classes that only have the possibility to wear one aggro rune.

Quote from kunxu

i think you can use 1hammer + 1hammer

I hope they change that too.Cause the nature of the Rogue class it's best to use both-handed weapons

While theoretically possible, the class was designed and balanced around the use of a two-handed weapon.

Quote from xLutinex

Brontes is it intended that Warden/Warrior has 120%+ parry after patch? Now I have 86% parry in plate+ spirit of the oak =106% parry and after the patch + coat of the arms = 126% parry permanent. Intended?

Yes. Monsters in Dark Core are significantly higher level than you and even with 126% shown in the character frame you will still not have 100% parry against certain bosses.

Quote from xLutinex

Quote from Brontes

Knight tanks in general will generate about twice as much aggro than before. You can expect to land somewhere around 1.500% to 1.700% aggro, certain combinations will far exceed these values though.

please do the math for me

While we don't believe in telling players what to do, this is on a knight without secondary class. Explosion of holy might and appropriate buffs are active. Many have much more aggro than that. Please keep in mind that values are subject to change.
