Hello everyone,

So, I would like to share my opinion about the whole situation and the state of the game.

First of all, the new Instance Rofl:

The design is great, it looks awesome and it’s a nice contrast to the icy region of gorge. But that’s the only positive point on it.

Let’s talk about the difficulty:

Trash: So, the trash is something I’m not sure about by now. One of the reasons is the one hits if you’re not a tank class, in my opinion they do way too much dmg to the group and the tank does not even take dmg (ok right at some points even the tank gets dmg but only on a few pulls). When it comes to non-Champion DPS on the first trash mobs in the instance they’re just one hitting if you pull more than 2 ranks. For some reasons even a warden that buffs himself on deff (about 2kk deff) just falls like a mage. And let’s not talk about the trash to the last boss it’s easy to wipe there.

So as far as we noticed the dmg of the most trash mobs are deff related and my question is why did you not make it percentual-dmg? So, the healers have something to do (and I’m not talking about reviving death players), just like the monkeys after boss 3.

Bosses: I did like to figure out the different boss mechanics I have to say. But if you’re running the 10th time you just get annoyed by the RNG of the first boss.

The second boss is well designed but not a real challenge at all but one of the better bosses in this instance.

As we come to boss 3, I just have to ask: what did you think here DEV-Team? It does require a bit of Teamwork and I really mean a bit. You designed a boss where you need 3 players to play and the rest of the party can go AFK for 10 minutes. The event is more than annoying and not even hard to play.

Boss 4 is somehow a nice boss but it is just free loot. The mechanic behind him is way too easy and if you really intended to have a DPS check boss there, well I like the idea but this boss is no challenge at all.

Boss 5 is, in my opinion, the only real boss fight in this instance. You have a nice DMG check with the pigs that spawn and if you don’t kill them fast enough the boss gets really hard for the tank. Also, you have mechanics where you get a hard punishment if you fail them. Overall, the DEV-Team made a good job on this one.

To say it short, I do not see where or why you needed 2 years to release us this instance. I'M DISAPPOINTED!!

So now let’s talk about the Ultimate Gear:

Over all I like the idea to have a new rarity in game but you did not think good enough about the players and what they really want.

Please DEV-Team no not only DEV-Team PLEASE PLAYERNET this Game has its origins in Runes of Magic and at least I (but also many others, I think) love how the gear system works. In my opinion it is also the only thing why I play this game, there is no other game that can offer me such kind a of a gearing system. And when it comes to other parts of the game there are other, a lot newer and better running games on the Market.

So, and again this is my opinion but you guys (and I'm speaking to the whole PLAYERNETTEAM) have made the biggest mistake you could do with the ultimate gear system. THIS DOES NOT FEEL A SINGLE BIT LIKE THE GAME I LOVE. I can understand that you don’t want us get bored fast and crying for new content. But I don’t think that this is the right way to do it. Also, the fact that we don’t get any information from either the NPC or the DEV-Team on the number of cores needed to get the 100% chance of an upgrade is just poor. And the fact that we have to run OLD AND BORING content that we have done multiple times before, does not make the whole situation better.

I do think that the suggestion of Melamania is a great idea.

PlayerNet PLS DO SOMTHING BEFORE 50% OF THE SERVER IS GONE!!!!

In my opinion you don’t need to do that much, completely new and complex Instances. No question they are good but for me something like Tikal (old Instance with new Monsters) all 6 to 8 months with either an upper body, lower body or accessory set would be much better.

So, this is what I think and how I feel about the state of the game right now.

Greetings, Varondil

I can agree with that post except the trash and last boss. Even rogues can survive up to 4 ranks in trash. Please do not nerf the trash again. It would be brain-afk running ._.

To the bosses: If you know all boss mechanics, the second boss is the hardest. Even the last boss is no gear check, if you know all mechanics :O. If the boss would be like the first time, as we reached to him, yes, that was a real hard gear counter (now it is like freeloot rofl)

The differences between the equipments of tikal and inferno or inferno and gorge was much bigger than the difference between gorge and new red gear.

So why should someone, who already have full gorge equipment, getting new red gear. You don't need that gear, because first: it is similar the same like gorge and second: the new instance is a joke in difficulty.

Not only the player who still run the new instance are complaining about the new system. If you would have thinking about and for the community, the 5 cores would have been at least unbound for trading. The allmighty core could still be bound, but as it is at the moment, the economy will be stagnated, player will be frustrated etc.

It's your choice as playernet yes, but it's also your problem in the future if there would be a future for this server

Sâcrêd (this message must have at least 15 characters..)

It is not about a weapon, if I can go afk as a tank in instance. You need a tikal geared tank, that's all. You need 1 heal for whole instance, maybe except the trash.

T18 weapons or new weapons does NOT count. We cleared and farmed the instance with the old gear like you, didnt we?

My opinion is just, that this hardmode is not really a hardmode like gorge, when we ran with inferno gear.

I do not even have gorge stats on my tank gear and I think, I do not even need inferno stats, maybe not even tikal stats to tank easily. I had the hope of an instance, where is a lot more single target dmg on the tank and maybe more dmg to the whole group in bossfights.

The trash is hard, that is nice, really. Maybe the birds were a little bit too strong at the beginning.

You don't need to cry if our opinions differ from yours. It is all from our / my POV. My wish is an instance where I can have a challenge and not an instance, where you can run with 6 people after the first week, when you are perfectly playing the events.

Please be objective. Everyone has his/her own opinion and wishes

Kind Regards

First of all, nice patch with nice performance improvements.

But the instance is way too easy for a hardmode. A good geared champion without skilled shieldform can tank whole instance.

As a tank perspective, like me, you don't even need full gorge equipment/stats to tank all. I guess I do not need to say something about boss 1 and 2. Waiting for tank, that's all ^^.

Even boss 3, you only need 1 tank btw, i can go AFK <--- for the whole bossfight and can return after i took a shower or something else. I Hope this shouldnt be intended. If some DEV needs a proof vid where the tank goes afk, let me know it.

Boss 4 is something like trash. Even a Scout can tank it. Maybe because of the abbreviation of the instance name rofl.

Boss 5 hmm... at the beginning it was hard, really hard. Seemed like impossible to kill. Yes it would be a really hard challenge for a HARD mode. But now, the last boss is even freeloot -.- I hope you will fix it like it was a we played him the first time.

It would be good for Mage/Scout, but think about other classes like healer priest/scout and druid/scout. They would become a massive maybe? unbalanced push if you have a bow with magical dmg like a staff.

Maybe let's see what the class balancing patch changes and then we can think about a magical bow

Hi,

in view of the forthcoming class balancing, I would suggest to implement new setskills for Inferno of Divinity, Gorge of The Ice Giants and Realm of Fogotten Legends.

This could make it easier to balance certain skills/classes.

But I want also mention, that one new (or more than one) slot for set skills would be needed. Some classes don't really need 5 slots atm and other classes would need more than 5 currently.

Greetings

Hi,

you need to kill the four bosses after you finished the first phase of killing 25 enemies.

Each of the four bosses are dropping one stabilization stone.

After all are dead, the main boss Fydolax (i hope it's the correct name ^^) spawns. The main boss himself does not drop stones. So you need to reset after the four mini bosses and kill them again

I know "ranged damage". But stats like "Physical damage" on Items increasing melee and ranged physical damage. So why wouldn't increase buffs like arrow of essence the extra damage from items, which are increasing the ranged weapon.

Maybe miss understanding of the question?

Hi,

I am a Scout. Scout/Rogue only. In my opinion is this combination better than the Scout/Warden because you should not underestimate support skills. That's why a Warlock/Mage is always in the group :D. My guild has 3 main Scout/Rogue btw.

Other class combinations we have in our guild and running the highest instance:

Priest/Warlock

Druid/Warrior

Warrior/Warden and Warden/Warrior if Serenadae don't want to play Champion

Mage/Warlock

Mage/Warrior

Champion/Knight

Kind regards

Quote from Mela

You should play what u want. But if you wanna be used for many different situations play Ch/r.

Whit this class you can easy Tank or playing as top dps depends on shildform skilled or not

But it is almost perfect balanced u can keep up with scout or warrior too.

Knight is for tanking still rly robust and has nice skills for buffing the party in burst, and you see this class rly rare in randome runes.

Druids and Priest both a rly good for healing

You can have 10 classes on Arcadia so feel free

The Ch/R is the number one op class in the game atm. He can easily tank, is doing most damage in whole instance overall and this at the same time. Like Serenadae who tanked without skilled shildform as a normal damage dealer. no other class have this abilities. Only in healing the Ch/r is not good,because he has no skill like the Ch/Warlock.

But yes. If you want a "best" class, play a supporter or Ch/r.

Yes you are right. If they would fix this without balancing the classes like warrior, warden or rogue, they would suffer a lot and would be more and more useless in camparison with champ. So pls if someone would check this and mark this as a bug, get in mind that classes like the champ would be more op

I tested more about weapon damage on melee now.

In the first picture you see my physical damage without eq (1% dmg card is active).

In the second you see my physical damage with only the upper body. Third picture shows the stats on the item.

In the fourth picture you see the holy Illumination+50 skill, which i use.

The last picture shows the calculated physical damage after the buff is active. It is way beyond the 10% in the tooltip. This is not only for this skill. I tested around and guess, the ALL buff which increase the "physical damage" or "damage" will calculated twice on stats of items and set bonus. But only for melee damage calculation

Maybe someone could check the code. I guess there is a mistake that dmg stats and set bonus will calculated twice with those buffs.

Kind regards

Hi there,

thanks for the last performance patch. The camelia flower is now better and does not produce heavy fps drops anymore.

Only mini lags at the mentioned coordinates

I checked the code and tried the version from curse. That's all i can say, that it does not work for me with those things.

I tried the uploaded version here and it works for itemshop items. as i said. this was just a quickfix

Kind regards

Ist mal angepasst. ohne gewähr. einfach mal probieren

-.-

Edit in English: (brainlag)

I changed it. without guarantee. just try it

Hi,

if you mean the vActionbar Addon on curse (https://www.curseforge.com/rom/addons/vactionbar) yes. Itemshop items like music instruments and emotes won't work with this version.

Additional informations:

I have tested this skill a little bit. I guess, that the lags are coming with some objects in the area around yourself.

At the Island of Atlantis at coordinates 52.1/46.4 I got heavy lags if I cast the spell on myself between the fences there.

Kind regards

Hi,

I noticed, that the camelia flower now produces lags if you use it. Even if I spam it only 2-3 times in a group with 2 member.

Maybe it's a problem, that this skill hit (or could hit) all objects? earlier you could heal even doors with it ^^. It is also possible right now, that you heal a player with it, which is not in the raid.

Maybe someone could check it, why it produces so heavy lags? Maybe it's possible to change it, that it hits only targets in the own raid (but please also players not in the same group {fixed here: Camellia Flower (ID: 499954) does not work across groups anymore })

Kind regards

Guys, don't be so hateful.

I like the nostalgia dungeon and have a greate feeling in dl. Only the point with the low defence is a bit bad

KR

First of all: nice update with bugfixes.

It's kinda funny that the bosses in the new hard mode instance have more hp than the bosses in gorge

But is it intended, that you can run this instance with 2 people? 1 champ and 1 heal

Hi,

you can get this recipe at Allana Edwards

KR

The problem is, that the healing bonus from wisdom is capped at round about 10-12k wisdom (buffed).

That's why it is useless statting wisdom. Even the Heal over time is capped. 36k HoT from recover is really low and nearly useless.

Stats:

Magical Defense: You can ignore this in pve

Magical Accuracy: You can ignore this in pve (as healer)

Magical Resistance: You can ignore this in pve

After all there is a little bit more mana and mana regen with wisdom. But who cares this? You have a mana problem if you use spells which cost percentage mana, but then more mana is not usefull. There are strong potions you can use for mana recovery.

More healing power from mana without reducing the base healing on equip is not usefull. Right now you still have a lot of overheal. A Druid with more than 2kk healing with recover is too much, if you want to increase the healing power more and more.

I guess the problem is, that healers can stat like they want. You just need the base items and a weapon (you don't really need a weapon for huge heal output ^^). You could stat like a pdd and don't loose healing outcome

Kind regards

Yes but in a weekend promotion it's cheaper

First: I myself like to tier all my weapons too. More healoutput is more healouput. I don't need more hp, if I don't die or need to tank as a heal

Second Eneler: The scout skills does not even have any dex multi... There are so many bugs in scout damage calculation since several years (i played as a scout on another server a very long time ) and i can tell all, that you do the same damage with 0 dex but same patk like a 300k dex and 1kk patk scout.

Like Serenade said, only rogues has a multi on dex in skills, but this values are absolut values and will be added after damage calculation. E.g. if you do exactly 5kk damage hit with a skill with 0.3 dex multi and 150k dex, you do exactly 5.045.000 damage with that hit because of the dex multi. But scouts does not have any of those skills and patk is even more worth on rogues. Scrutinizer screens are meaningless, because everyone could do a scout support group and push the damage. For all players: Read your skills, test your skills.

Hint from me: In the scout damage calculation there is also the pure weapon damage of your ranged weapon included

(After class balancing patch, there is a lot to do for me/everyone to find out the probably new damage formula)

Kind regards
