The biggest problem i currently see is that we cant use the full system. We have too many green stones (i have almost 30k which i cant spend cuse im currently busy saving dias), and on the other hand we dont have a SINGLE yellow stone, which means we cant obtain 100% of the stones CURRENTLY. And if you think about it, the whole system is based off of rng. First you need to farm a card, which has a "low" dropchance. (If you like to) you need to roll the stat you need with a high value. Then you need to buy different stones to add even more stats, reroll the stats or even change the value. But imagine it wouldnt be all random. People, both the player that farm the cards and the people that buy the cards, would be in (lets say) 2-3 months done with all obtainable cards, each card with perfect, highest stats. 1 card = 40 cards if you compare the stats (i didnt do the math). Its fuckign hilarious broken on the long term when you think about it. all those RNG's make it harder/more expensive to obtain the perfect card for you. And with that, it would mean not everyone would have perfect cards. Only people who have the wish to get those cards which will take alot of effort.

Personally, i like the rng, because it gives you wonderfull feelings once you got your desired stats rolled. Obviously, it can be more frustrating than enjoyable, but once you got your first 10str card, go to the shop, buy a reroll stone, and get an additional 28.6 patk, its a really good feeling and you feel like all the work payed off. And since you can obtain everyone with time (even tho i doubt its possible without personal shop) for free, its not as bad as plussing stones, which you can only obtain for diamonds/a shit load of rubis. Yes, i can exchange gold/mems for diamonds, but in the end you pay with diamonds. You can farm 60 cards daily and try to get the best first stat, then pray and start rolling with the stones you bought from disenchanting the other 59 cards and some gold.

and here we have the lucky ppl and not so lucky ppl. I didn't dropped a single 10 attribute card myself within about 200 cards or more. With such luckyness you can also drop random values on stats in rofl and/or random values on golden gear.

I'd better pay an amount of diamonds for which I know, what I will get. Some plusstones with which I can plus my equip (I also use perfect stones).

Heyo,

Essentially i like the basic principle of the new Card System.

But after trying out the new Card System / Rerolling and farming Cards,

there is 1 Major Things that bothers me about the System.

The Overall Randomness/for my taste too much RNG with the Shop/NPC where u can buy Upgrade Stones for Cards.

Super nice Idea to offer Players a way to Upgrade their Cards even more with extra Stones that you get for disenchanting bad rolled Cards .

Big Big thing that bothers me is that there are around 160 Different Stones (correct me if im wrong) but the Shop offers only 20 Different Stones at a Time and if you want more /different Stones you either have to wait 6 Hours! for a restock or 24h for a refill with new Random Stones and random count each Time . And waiting those times does not even guarantee you that you get the stones you want or guarantee you even that you get any stones at all because everyone has access to the same Stones. What i have witnessed over the last days is people camping infront of the NPC and waiting for a restock/refill and just buying all stones out nearly instantly.The only thing to avoid this is to have your own "personal" NPC by restocking the Merchant, costing 250 Diamonds. But then again you only have a choice of 20 different stones with a different count each time. So theoretically(!) you would have to spend 2.000 Diamonds too see each stone atleast once or wait a horrendous amount of time with Luck on your Side.

My Suggestion to improve this would be at first , Make the Shop personal nevertheless if you wait for restocks or buy the refresh/restock.

Another Suggestion from my Side would be to either remove the Diamonds Costs for refreshing the shop completly and add the option to refresh the Shop for Green or Blue (maybe even Purple?) SoulStones . For example currently 1000-2000 Green SoulStones for a refresh and when new zones come out who naturally drop cards better (e.g the Islands Korris Vortis etc) increase the priece of the refresh accordingly or Change the NPC too have all Stones at all Times available for everyone but adjust the priece accordingly (e.g Change the Green from 100 too 1000 or 2000) .

( The Values are not part of the Suggestions , they are just here to give a better view for my suggestion and should be obviously changed accordingly what the Team would see fit)

Greetings

I totally agree with Cruvor here. Seeing in the past days every time the shop refills/restocks about 5-10 people standing there. If you aren't fast enough to buy stones, or as some friends of mine experienced that after a refill/restock they had longer loading times for the new stones than other players (which only took maybe 3 seconds longer but 3 seconds are enough that everything is completely sold out in terms of stones for the green value) you kind of are forced to pay to diamonds to refresh the store for yourself in order to get some stones.
I support the suggestion to make the shop personal big time!
I am also a big fan of refreshing the store with these different values from disenchanting bad rolled cards. Experiencing now only my time I have farmed in Howling Mountains and seeing the amount of green value I already gained I only support the suggestion!
With the store beeing refreshed by for example green value and especially for you personal I would have no problem that everytime you only see about 1/10 of all stones there are. Card farming was since the beginning something for players with endurance and these suggestions would give players who farm a lot and have a lot of "bad" cards a great reward instead of standing at the shop and see everything beeing sold out in 5 seconds like it is currently.

Kind Regards

Why not allow to buy as much stones as you want? even all possible stones at once to choose without the luck to get the right one. You would still need to farm the cards and trade them to soul stones. A complete randomness results in, worst case, never getting what you want (for example 30 rofl runs and no Knowledge stat)

It is still a MMO. That means you should not be able running RoFL solo/with alts

Go random with some ppl and look at their damage, if you think damage is low. Better you focus on your skills to get better. Nobody ist perfect and you can always be better than now

If you give us red gear...

You could ask a gm if they could give us the equip for 1 run.... If you want a proof and even after that, you would still arguing the damage is to low.

Ppl which has cleared RoFL right after release know, that it is not to hard now. Not even harder than at release date. And if I remember correct, that should be ppl from 6-7 guilds

Quote from Himen

If goal is to run rofl for 4-5 hours one run , then yea you can clear whit full gorge gear, and thats if all alredy know good tactics ,but new guild have no chance in that setup . Also you sholdnt nerf 30% , 15% would be ok i think. Or you should just nerf dmg in rofl by adding some buffs to def to mobs, bosses, something like in RT where you have broneze,silver, gold difficulty . Greetings

We ran RoFL a year ago with t11-t12 full gorge gear and t14-15 weapons and didnt even need 2 hours after we know all tactics!

Why ppl always think in this way: Publisher push classes by 70% -> "OK. Cool. Nice for me. Ty good publisher"

After that, nerfing by 20% -> "OMG NOOOOO. ARE YOU SERIOUS? WTFFFF!!!!!!1111111 HOW SHOULD ANYONE NOW CAN CLEAR THIS INSTANCE? IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!1111 "

Kinda funny. It seems, that some ppl lost the comparison to the classes after RoFL release. If you need 4-5 hours running RoFL in a full gorge equipped raid, then it's all about the raid. 1-1,5 hours are possible at farm status in gorge gear with 12 ppl

Quote from johnkopytko

pls nerf warden he is OP now

I guess warden pets and cenedrils wasn't affected by the 30% damage reduction of "players"

Should also adjusted in my opinions. Seems a bit crazy if your pet/cenedrils deals more damage than yourself

Or one suggestion (still a huge grinding):

farm a card like fungus 20 times, then you can convert it to "ultimate fungus" which replace the fungus in compendium and the ultimate version has fixed stats with fixed values. No pain for multi class players with multi gear

Still huge grinding if you think about rare cards like ayelo (20 timest would be to much for this one i think ^^)

Quote from Groot

Huhu,

two suggestions:

1: can you buff champ/rogue , because of nerfing the other classcombi? maybe balance the 1hand hammer reduce into "Schattenexplosion" ID 499844. c/r isnt anyway broken or st. 24% to 28% or st.

2: in my opinion the knight/champ got not enough pdeff compared to k/r or k/w. Furthermore the stacking of "Angriffslustiges Opfer" ID 1490482 is so weak. you lose pdps for a little bit pdeff that you can stack at a boss after the burstphase. Maybe add an passive skill of pdeff or increase the stacking % of the pdeff.

Additionally "Rüstungsbrecher" ID 1490488 is more weak then "Gebieterische Abschreckung" ID 490018. maybe balance the 8% to 12-15%, means a stacking number of 3-4% each seal.

Greetings

Knight/Champ has more permanent pdef than K/W Oo

Also you "Rüstungsbrecher" can be applied more often than "Gebieterische Abschreckung" and is therefor designed for longer fights

Kind regards.

Quote from jere32810

Hello,

Just wondering what will happend with people that can’t afford gold gear? A full group of gorge geared ppl will be able to clean rofl like they should ?? Maybe some players need it more difficult to enjoy it (easy when you use 3kk dias gear) but what about low geared ppl that already don’t do much dps? They will just quit the game, then CoA will die just as any other server did. RIP CoA?

For my parts, I think donating here isn’t safe anymore because I feel like this server is going nowhere and slowly dying.

What about PVP patch instead of destroying every PVE class combo while trying to do balances?

My last questions : do you even ever tried to play before doing changes ? Becaus some of them make no sense to me. Nerfing classes that already sucks...

Regards,

Display More

Fun fact: some ppl cleared RoFL where all classes did way way less damage (before class balancing or better before class pushing trip)

Those mysterious ppl had only gorge gear with gorge weapons. Maybe it could be a legend for most player, but I think the legend is true. At this mysterious time, most classes sucks in damage and still many many ppl/guilds cleared RoFL

Kind regards

Hmmm the card system in the video is a double edged sword in my eyes.

If I need to choose which attribute I want at one card, I cannot maximize my equip for 2 classes for example pdps and tank

This would not make sense for me to do ans new equipment.

I don't know how other endgame player think about it. Would be nice to share the opinions

Kind regards

It's all speculation for now, but the card system should be a bit like the cenedril system - where you can easily swap which cards you want active (or perhaps even automatically change it) so that you can have multiple sets for each class you want to play - or the "buffs" need to be small or generic enough to fit into all builds.

Some games like League of Legends or Path of Exile have a system of adaptive stats, whereas the rest of your build decides that other boost, too. Maybe something like that would be perfect...?

I'm definitely very excited about the upcoming patch and once the server is back up, I'll be super happy looking into the system more

The wiki is online. Sadly you need to choose which attributes you want on the cards

Quote from xLutinex

easy. 90,6% *20,6% buff of Warp Charge means a push of mdps by ~9,26%

I don't think that mdps classes were underperforming in general. We'll see but I guess some mdps classes are overperforming after the change

I never said that mdps where underperfoming or anything and the last news I received where that warp charge additionally increases the magical dmg by 10,3% and not 20,6% so overall with the warp charge the mdps isnt nerfed nor buffed thats why I said "counterpart of the nerf" -

Of course there are still the other nerfs apart of the mdps nerf in general but thats not what I meant with my post.

We will have to see how the nerfs affect the quality of gameplay.

Ah ok.

Can't see patch notes xd

Quote from playboy

so am i reading this correctly ?

all get -30%

mages get -10%

warlock gets -14%

and instances get a little harder ?

is all that correct ?

No, you are missing+20% mdps buff

Quote from Ashlynn

Quote from playboy

all get -30%

mages get -10%

warlock gets -14%

Additionally:

• Reduced magical damage output to 90.6% from 100%.

But the counterpart of that nerf is the Warp Charge buff from warlock, we will have to see how it will affect the future of mages in general.

Quote from Merkur

Mages get cast speed too, pdps have limit about speed.

20,6% speed = 20,6% dmg?

But i like general idea of this changes

The limit for pdps attack speed is the same. mdps got also cast speed before. It is just for compensate this in patch notes:Reduced magical damage output by 20%.-> should be the same damage output like before, but only with wl/m warp charge :-)(but don't forget the overall -30% damage output tomorrow )

All in all, nice idea to reduce magical dmg output and compensate it from Warp Charge of Warlock!

So all magical non-warlocks need the sup of wl/m like all pdps need it

*thumbs up!*

Quote from Merkur

Now without wl/m in pt mage will be crap class, maybe better nerf output physical dmg too and give 20% physical dmg on wl/m buff.

pdps still getting "dmg" from wl/m Warp Charge, because increasing attack speed increase dmg output

Quote from Merkur

I don't like mdps :p

• Reduced magical damage output by 20%.

But isn't that too much?

It is compensate with WL/M new skill:Changed Warp Charge to increase magical damage by 20.6% additionally.

And I like it. If WL/M is afk, everyone suffers same xD

Quote from Byte

Just to inform community;

Damage multiplier in Realm of the Forgotten Legends (Hard) instance is 27% as of now, which was 70% before class balance started at 2020 Spring.

With the following patch, it is planned to be reduced by another 30% for every zone instead, to be reduced to 19% for Realm of the Forgotten Legends (Hard) as a result of this reduction.

ohmm...

We had only gorge gear Oo... exactly 1 year ago

15% doesnt make a difference. Keep in mind, that a full 12 ppl group is such strong, that you mostly can only do 2-3 hits on balton before it's dead. Caster have a hard life with this *g*

afaik rofl has been buffed significantly since, or am I wrong?

Not so much like all classes while balancing process in my mind. RoFL had some hard bosses on the first version in the first 2 days after release

Quote from MidanLauert

Hey, while we're at changing the meta a bit, could the "master of aggro" skill of the ch/wd be changed to just allow the usage of plate armour? It's such a cool tank, but really not worth to play.

Quote from XLutinex

I would suggest a reduce by 35-50% (better ~50).

Keep in mind that people need to be able to run rofl with red rofl gear. being fully golden at t12+ isn't the standard for the average player. A damage reduction of overall ~15% would be fine, but everything above that will absolutely kill the next generation of players.

ohmm...

Hoi ,

• Reduced damage output in all kind of damage formula of the player.

Will there be any info made public how much this reduce is/will be ?

Greetings

I would suggest a reduce by 35-50% (better ~50).

With 50% we will have a full golden group burst boss fights for maybe 5-8 seconds instead of 2-4 seconds like now.

If I think about how it was to clear rofl with gorge gear and compare it with the actual damage output, 50% would be the best. 1 year ago I could not make 20% of organs at Jerath event without buffs with a Scout. I needed minimum 3 min CD skills to make 20% damage. The golden gear is pushing the damage out by maybe 30-50% comparing to gorge ?

After the class balancing there are many changes with the classes which increased the base damage of all classes. Even more support dmg skills were introduced.

Maybe reducing the damage 50% seems to high, but if I think about some bossfights and that you can burst bosses with 1 dps O.o....

Just my opinion

P.S. I wanted to mention "Thanks" again for such big patch notes. *thumbs up*

Kind regards

Quote from Merkur

xLutinex

50% of all dmg (on an instance scale) from the toxic splash? Hmmm, what about whirlwind and other skills? Toxic splash is 25% dps in my opinion. Rogue / warrior got 40% nerf on this skill, so referring to the old value you will be doing 0.9 x old value dmg in the whole instance.

But you got a damage boost + 10%, so without going into the mechanics in detail, you will be doing 0.99 x the old value dmg of the whole instance.

With a 7% damage nerf on other rogues, I'm sure that after this patch the rogue / warrior will be the strongest rogue, maybe not as OP as the rogue / scout previously, but still the strongest.

I completely don't understand where this boost dmg came from on the rogue / warrior. They nerf all rogues, including those who did not need this nerf (in relation to other rogue combinations) and okey, then they should nerf too strong combinations and not boost those which in their opinion are too weak.

The meaning of my statement is that in my opinion what is shown in the changes to the rogue / warrior got a boost, not nerf, which, taking into account the fact that he was very strong and most of the other rogues were nerfed, makes the rogue / warrior the strongest rogue. So the season of too strong a combination starts again.

Display More

I said the skill is nerfed by 50% and not doing 50% dmg of all dmg. it was like 30% of overall damage. nerfing it by 50% means ~15% nerf of overall damage. buffing by 4,8% axe damage (offhand you use dagger atm) means buffed by ~7% / 2 because you always do half mainhand and half offhand damage. -> buffing by 3,5%. 15% - 3,5% = 11,5%. Not 100% correctly but I guess this class is nerfed by around 10% (additionally to dagger offhand nerf). I don't think many random parties will have only r/w

Other rogues still have ~10% damage nerf.

I say it again: nerfing a passive like dagger passive by 6,6% does not mean a damage nerf of 6,6% of the skills. it will result in ~10% damage nerf

Am I miss something? The main damage skill of rogue/warrior is nerfed by more than 50% (the damage of time). It was always on #1 in my scruti

Quote from MidanLauert

I've noticed that there's a big difference between end- and midgame players when it comes to the satisfaction of ROFL, whereas the Midgame-Players feel like it's just not worth it to play the classes they want simply because they're being incredibly outshined by other players while the endgame players often despise ROFL for it's monotony and ease of play once you figure out how to do it.

Therefore I propose this:
-> Turn the current normal mode into easy mode; reduce the amount of core shards needed to 1

-> Turn the current hard mode to normal mode and revert some of the buffs to bosses and mobs (Especially nerf the mobs aoe! :D)
-> Finally implement those changes into the new hard mode and buff the bosses again, but also beef up the rewards (e.g. 2 cores, 10k coins, "petrified" pain/knowledge/protection-fragments at endboss, like Gorge and Inferno have?)

Display Spoiler

• Added physical attack, attack speed and bad luck aura to Nayat, Siddartha and Krishna in Realm of Forgotten Legends Hard Mode.
• Changed Khat in Realm of Forgotten Legends Hard Mode to electrify everyone in room if someone gets caught by a small lightning.
• Added entrance cooldown debuff to Jerath event in Realm of Forgotten Legends Hard Mode that lasts for 180 seconds. Jerath now gains 8% physical attack every time a player participates in the event, and gains 8% physical damage every time a selected player refuse to participate. Every creature killed will inflict 2% damage to the tactic object.
• Changed Balton to re-apply poison every 3 seconds instead of 5 in Realm of Forgotten Legends Hard Mode.
• Added Earth Core Fragment to Realm of Forgotten Legends Normal Mode last boss. (3 Earth Core Fragment provides 1 Earth Core when used.)

This way the very endgame players have a reason to keep pushing themselves while giving the midgame players a chance to catch up without being literally leeched through. It would also give more levers in terms of balancing.

ROFL has put many players in a corner, as Gorge is often more difficult (event wise) than the higher instance and Inferno doesn't bring enough income to properly breach someone into the endgame.

Ideas for new HM stuff?

B1-> Nayat is too random to be punishing. This could be changed by keeping the buffs random but needing to KILL the guardians one by one. They then drop a box, where the event then would be playable. If more than one Guardian is killed at a time, the previous box disappears. This would put the flow of the fight into the hands of the players and allow for punishment.

B3-> Perhaps a secondary tank should/could be neccessary here? One to tank the worms and one to keep the boss. Could tie in nicely with Boss 1. Perhaps let the stomach acid recude defense by 5% each in addition to the %-DoT, so that a 20 debuff leaves one with 0 def.

B4-> I would personally put some emphasis on the adds that come; they could be attackable, so that one may need to pull them away from the group to avoid a new debuff (perhaps, like, 50% less damage/heal dealt for 2 seconds).

Have a blessed day,
Midan

even though I think there won't be such changes for rofl, you should also buff the endboss. It is a joke that you don't need a tank for it, because you can kite the boss. The movement speed should be increased significantly, that it will always be faster than players with boots (~600%)

Furthermore in relation to a new hardmode, the events of the last boss are too random. You can have 0 add phases in 5 minutes fight or 20. To random to be a good hardmode boss that challenge the party. A good change would be only add phases at fix hp of boss like every 5% or 10% like it is at targonharl worldboss. That would be a challenge if you always need to do 19 add phases (every 5%)
