  • My Concerns About New Players

    Quote from ZahraaSarongoth

    I've now been playing off and on for few years now. I love this game but I'm alone all the time every time I join a guild I get kicked or they disband. I'm level R103/P80 and completely lost idk where to go to make diamonds, or how to start making straight end game gear. I see all these end game players in Atlas, but no one will speak to me. I've been reading and researching trying to figure it out on my own and well I get lost a lot trying to understand what goes where, how to do this. then on top the best in slot for my build never has anything on auction and where it drops, I can't solo so I'm in a bubble now trying to figure out what's up from down for end game. it was easy getting here just questing lonely as heck but doable. now I've begun to hit a straight wall and I keep quitting and coming back hoping it will change but hasn't I just sit here solo lower level dungeons and raids to get drops to sell cheap on auction to try to help other new players and be bored when I want to understand the end game and finish building my char and doing the hard stuff with ppl but it seems no one wants to step up as a player and help someone get there to have fun.

    While you struggle to find final guild, it seems you can still return to Newbies guild by Newbies Guild Administrator in Guild Hall in Varanas. You can return there always as long you don't have any character with over of total 30 days playtime (counted in minutes, usually 3-5 months of playing).


    You can also get diamonds from special Guild Quests inside of guild castle of Newbies guild. To perform them you do not have to member of guild, you can just visit it and take their use.


    You can find many tips on our wiki, like:

    - ways to makings diamonds (in following days we will add some more to list): https://wiki.chroniclesofarcad…ide#tips-to-earn-diamonds

  • Character Backports Issue

    In both cases looks like most of backports happened before zone restarts, there is very few afterwards. We also improved it further already for next patch, so seems issue will be resolved along with it.

    It was changed due to them being practically free. Now they're time limited, and usable for duration of festival + 2 weeks (assuming you buy last day) to ensure more fair gameplay versus people less active during this festival.

  • Can I Throw away Leftover Items

    Please write IDs (visible in item tooltips) or screenshots so it will be easier to see exact names of them to track their origin and check if it's safe to delete them.

  • Can I Throw away Leftover Items

    Hello,


    Most of these should be fine to be removed. If you would throw something mistakenly you can always ask to get it restored via support.


    If you are unsure you can get your bank storage at bank managers in Itnal Camp in Lost Island of Atlantis or in Varanas / house maids. You can also get your own house at house maid NPCs and get there chests with storage space.

    why was the option to ride in the ini removed? :cursing:

    Hello,


    Benefit is here and unchanged. We tested in on dev server and it works as well.



    Please ensure you have at least Regular subscription type and activated it. New season restarts everything.

  • Creation and updating of addons

    Hello,


    1) This is not possible with addon. This is coded in internal Client.exe code and not changeable. We are not planning to allow swapping between them due to incompatibility. I will instead add task to add theme songs to House Options, so you can purchase and active them there.


    2) Most likely there is either icon missing / wrong extension / wrong file name used.

    Hello,


    Guild Castle gold fees are big part of regulating server economy to prevent inflation, following this we are not planning to introduce such change.

  • World Bosses Rework [Patch 11.1.3.1000]

    We would like to get you know that we are in advanced state of testing big performance improvements such as:

    • Reduced high Ping greatly in crowded zones.
    • Improved world boss scripts to be lightweight.
    • Improved FPS performance in various instances and events.
    • Changed world boss spawn timers to be client-side for performance.
    • Increased amount of services to handle traffic resulting in lesser load and higher performance of servicing players.

    It allowed to eliminate insanely large ping and crashes to login screen during fight. After changes on our tests with 150 characters on dev server we observe average of 60-200 ping based on specific bosses.


    Due to complexity of changes and planned absence of team member in following days, patch with these and so enabling Scheduled World Bosses again is planned most early in a week around Thursday-Friday.

  • World Bosses Rework [Patch 11.1.3.1000]

    With 11.1.3.1002 there was big FPS improvement on Client side.


    However due zone issues causing players to disconnect in result of insanely high ping we have decided to shut down Scheduled World Bosses system until we will perform various Zone improvements.


    There is no ETA when system will be enabled again, most likely within a few days or one week.

    Hello,


    They are not stacking due having different live time. We will remove it and set instead liveability of items only for duration of festival with next patch.

    Quote from kleos

    Normally when there is a quest, the map mobs appear in red. Sometimes this does not happen when doing prestige quest. Is this normal? Is this how it should be?

    I am usually someone who always does prestige quests with diamonds and I have almost reached the maximum level and I was wondering something. What happens when you do it with a quest and I have been doing the quests for the last few days. In my opinion, the time required for quests is too much. I think the time required for quests should be reduced. Spending 1.5 hours to do 5 quests seems very tiring and boring. What do you think?


    Hello,


    For first part - do you mean red icons on minimap?


    For second part - quests are meant to be reworked, very likely for next season.
