A few words about bards

Bard/Scout - At first, I hated the change from the B/S mechanic to the mindless holding down of one or two keys, but I’ve gotten used to it. Oh well.

1. "Soul Whirlwind" skill has too long a cooldown, when you're in a dungeon and need to switch from one mob pack to another or simply adjust the targeting area (since mobs move around a lot). As a result, reusing this ability feels unresponsive—even sluggish.

2. I can confirm that it is impossible to refresh buffs while holding down an offensive skill, and this is a major issue. I see no reason why other classes can do this while attacking, but B/S cannot.

3. Switching targets between mobs has become inconvenient because it has to be done manually. It’s not a major issue, but other classes—using Kitty or Lua—switch targets automatically, giving them a slight advantage. It’s worth considering.

Bard/Rogue - The changes in recent patches are definitely a step in the right direction. Things have improved; single-target damage is slightly better, allowing you to land somewhere in the middle of the DPS charts during boss fights, though AoE trash fights still feel lackluster. Maybe consider changing the "Inevitable Fall" ability so that it deals AoE damage, or at least applies some kind of DoT. I’m using an off-hand build (which is what the class’s skills seem designed for), and compared to magic classes, it’s a disaster—even with the recent buff.

Bard/Champion - I don't even know how to describe the tragic state it's in compared to other classes. It wasn't like this before the introduction of the 3-stat Corruption system. It definitely needs changes because it’s simply scraping the bottom of the DPS charts XD—which is a shame, because it has cool rune-farming mechanics and plenty of AoE skills, yet it just can't compete with other classes at all. It used to be very strong in single-target damage and merely average in AoE; now, both aspects of its combat performance suck.

And finally, I’m reiterating my request: all Bards should be able to play their instruments (lute, guitar, tambourine) while moving. This simply has to happen!

Are you planning any balance changes for the B/CH and B/R classes? These combinations really need your attention, and it’s disappointing that nothing is being done about them. Just check their activity on the server—there is none

I’d also like to propose that the Bard class be the only one able to play musical instruments (tambourine, lute, guitar, etc.) while moving—without interrupting the cast. After all, they are Bards, right? They ought to be able to do things like that.

I'd like to propose changes to the Bard/Rogue class's AOE skills. This combination uses a total of three skills (only two of which deal damage).

Octave Shift has an 8-second cooldown.

Mass Destruction has a 5-second cooldown and will deal double damage if you use Inevitable Fall (which deals no damage) beforehand. Having blocked the use of these skills for a few seconds CD it's simply pointless to compete with classes that can spam AOE skills. Please consider changing the CDs in these skills.

• Changed Soul Storm to also slow your enemies during the effect.
• Changed Assassin’s Rage to provide Grandmaster for 15 seconds while wielding a Katana.
  
  Very good changes, especially the one regarding the katana. Finally, you can use the Grandmaster buff in burst fights. This was especially annoying when some R/B or R/S skills were channel-based and blocked the katana.
  
  I mentioned these issues six months ago. It's nice that someone finally thought about it.

Quote from Ramer

Is it just my impression, or does the person responsible for balancing magical classes actually know how to do their job — they make changes, inform players about upcoming adjustments, the changes are frequent, fairly extensive, and well explained? Meanwhile, the balance of leather classes feels like a complete joke, done carelessly by someone who is clearly incompetent.

I definitely agree. I remember clearly that when I expressed very similar sentiments on Discord, the GMs jumped on me and asked me to give them ideas for classes. In-game chat directs you to post your ideas on the forum. And when you do, not much happens regarding leather.

Today's GM's response to the World Chat regarding the B/R changes to AOE skills blew me away. This class only has two AOE skills, both with cooldowns of 5 and 8 seconds. How is this supposed to compete with classes that spam AOE? The response I got was that the changes were clearly not in the best interest of balance. I was speechless.

thanks for the kind gesture towards leather classes. Let me give you some feedback on what I've noticed so far.

Bard/Champion

• Increased Engineer’s Blade rage recovery to 25 from 20.
  A completely unnecessary change. The skill provided almost unlimited rage during combat.

• Increased Genius Creation damage gain to 16.2% from 8.1%.
  This change is definitely for the better. In single-target fights lasting up to about 40 seconds, the class has become competitive. The problem begins in longer fights, where it clearly begins to fall behind and falls somewhere in the middle of the scruti table by the end of the fight.

During AOE fights with mobs, it performs excellently with all buffs, musical instruments, and so on. The real drama occurs without these buffs during combat. The class simply doesn't deal AOE damage. It can be outdone by other classes by 5-6 times. I don't know why there's such a difference. Maybe consider adding Dota to one of his AOE skills to change things up. To sum up - there is a huge difference when fighting with all the buffs and without them.

Bard/Rogue suffers from a very similar issue to bard/champion. Consider adding some dota to his AOE skills.

Hey,

Is there any class balance planned for Dexterity and Leather?

Do you have any idea how extensive the use is between magical and physical classes?

Is additional data from the latest ini required? Because if not, what is your plan for class balance? For almost a year now, there's been a transition between physical classes (except for the typical scouts—and even that's up to a point) and magical classes.

Bards are practically non-existent on the server.

Bard/Scout is lagging behind.

Bard/Rogue suffers from too few AOE skills, which means they don't deal almost all of their damage correctly in mob structures. DMG on a single target is fine as long as the fight doesn't last longer than 30-40 seconds.

Bard/Champion suffers from exactly the same problem: too small AOE dmg in mob groups.

Bard/Warden - no one plays this and it won't be played until it's launched, although it offers decent responsibilities. Maybe give it a katana to use similarly to an axe?

Rogues compared to classic magic are a joke.

The Rogue/Scout secondary appeared when combat was somewhat accessible on Ori (mainly thanks to DOTs), but on supplementary dungeons like Orkham, it lacks Burst. On Grove, DOTs are dramatically effective.

R/B and R/D R/CH are so unplayable that it's better to go in-game as S/P or S/B and at least support the team.

The Rogue/Priest still deals some AOE damage in groups of mobs, but they could just as easily stand alone and try to heal the group at single target fights. They simply don't deal nearly as much damage to bosses as other classes.

Scouts are obvious – you can still play S/R and S/D by swapping out secondary weapons, and only then do they chase magic classes. The rest of the physical scouts are nonexistent – it's better to use S/P or S/B for the group.

Why has this situation come to this? Do you see how many players are selling their leather gear or swapping it for magic?

Do something about this, because I've been pointing this out for a long time now, and no one on the team, the Devs, the GMs, or those mythical balancers of magic and physical classes is considering this.

Hey,

I'd like to suggest changing the time it takes to complete this minigame. Currently, it's 30 minutes of incredibly boring running around and killing mobs.

There's no fun or satisfaction in it, it's so boring that I swear I sometimes fall asleep while doing it, and of course, the minigame ends because I die. But that's not the reason for this suggestion, of course. 30 minutes is simply too long.

Couldn't you consider changing it to 15 minutes and doubling the current drop rate? We have so many activities in the game to spend our time on right now that shortening this minigame would be a good idea.

Please consider this.

Quote from Baboon

Every class with rogue in sub can wear a katana. This is the passive skill from rogue Katana Training, but Bard/Rogue dont get any benefits from that.

this doesn't change the fact that using a katana on this class combination makes no sense and something could be improved about it

Why would a bard rogue wield a katana when almost all bard rogue skills require the use of an instrument or an instrument + a dagger?

The only skill that can be used while wielding a katana is Devourer. Don't you think something's amiss here?

I would add some suggestions to make it worth fishing. Because the current cooking recipes are 95% useless.

I wish all Arcadians a happy Valentine's Day!

Jaceon stood still, staring at the spirit figure before him. Blue flames surrounded the ruins of Tagena, casting a ghostly light. "Who are you?" he whispered, but only love, sadness and unfulfilled promise emanated from the figure. Jaceon felt that this spirit was part of an ancient love story. Determined, he reached out to the figure, feeling a bond that transcended the boundaries of the physical world.

Meanwhile, Moroseille and Thainar reached the ruins of her family home on the Glenraebor River. Moroseille knelt before the remains of the door, memories flooding her mind. She saw a vision of the past - a scene of happiness and warmth. Thainar watched from a distance, knowing that the answers she sought were hidden within these walls. He swore to protect her at all costs.

In the ruins of Tagena, Wiltonor watched Jaceon from the shadows. He knew that the young magician was on the verge of a discovery that could change the fate of Arcadia. He eagerly began reciting a spell from his ancient book, hoping to unlock the secrets that lay within its pages.

The blue flames intensified, revealing glimpses of a world long forgotten. The spirit stretched out his hand, in which rested the mysterious necklace, shining with soft light, a single tear rolled down his ethereal cheek of the tormented soul. In that moment, Jaceon realized that the key to unlocking the secret lay in the intertwined fates of those drawn to this journey.

Jaceon touched the circle of blue fire, and visions struck his mind –

Love, betrayal, and dark secrets, time to ashes left behind.

Through Tagena’s ruins whispered echoes, vows once broken by cruel fate,

The spirit murmured: "Find the old book, in its pages my heart waits."

Moroseille knelt among the ruins, in her hand a sign so bright,

’Twas her mother’s silver necklace, guiding her with gentle light.

Thainar clasped her hand still firmer, silent embers in his gaze,

"If the ancient book holds truth, then by your side I shall remain."

Wiltonor heard the spell resounding, in his grasp the old book swayed,

And fate entwined their longing souls, towards love that never strayed.

Deep within the forest shadows, where time had slumbered endless years,

Lived a beast among the ruins, lost in sorrow, bound by fears.

Once a man, yet cursed and broken, darkness wove into his soul,

Now he wept through nights so hollow, longing to be once more whole.

The spirit Jaceon had witnessed shed a bitter tear of woe,

For their love, within the pages, time had failed to guard or hold.

The lost necklace bore the answer—was redemption still in sight?

Yet the beast feared love was fleeting, lost within eternal night.

Moroseille then seized the volume, Thainar watched with steady grace,

Wiltonor could feel the curse now fading into shadows' space.

Jaceon saw the truth in fire—one soft word, one single tear,

And the beast, a man once more, returned to hold his love sincere.

Hey, I'm presenting a short video with all the content I liked the most in 2024, and in which I took an active part.

Please make more changes to the bard/warden, it's still bad compared to other classes. It's not worth playing

Plz,

Do something with bard/warden. Its totally useless.

does the amount of coins thrown in at one time increase the chance of getting the 666 attribute card?
