  • More options to enable/disable visual effects

    Hi,

    I would gladly like to provide some ID's, but I dont have them currently and not sure if I can find them out, a lot of those effects are like "ground effects"/auras/bubbles. Here comes a list of the ones I know, which are visible when activating "own effects" and not visible if you deactivate all effects:

    • Orkham Zerdeons Laborer (event which needs an engineer): every 25% you need to click and crystal, a bubble/aura appears around it and you have to stand in it. Effects on -> bubble appears, Effects off -> no bubble visible around the crystal
    • Dark Core B2 Duna effect: Boss creates a bubble and everyone except the tank recieves damage inside. You can't see it, when effects are disabled. Same goes for the bubble/spere, when the two smaller bosses appears
    • Millim Worldboss (something with echo): Boss creates a bubble, which can be seen. Afterwards you have to step on certain colors, but they don't appear visible on the ground if you have deactivated the effects (even though now you can see a bubble)
    • Endboss Necro: Boss creates fire on the ground, which deals damage. When you have deactivated effects, you can't see any fire (this one is a big problem in my point of view, but would be consistent to also show it)

    If any other players know more event effects affected by this, please add them. :)

  • More options to enable/disable visual effects

    Hi,

    is it (technically) possible to increase the options to enable/disable visual effects and make it more accurate? Currently the two main options are "own" and "other player", but it is not really consistent to its name. Due to performance issues, I always deactivate visual effects of "other player", but keep my "own" active for a better feedback and it just feels better. Sadly, there are some skills of other player, which will still be shown and often drastically affect the performance. In some cases I tend to also disable "own" effects, which then will results in some event effects are not visible (e.g. Orkham crystal auras, DC B2 Aura, Millim Boss colors, ...).

    My suggestion would be to split the effects in at least three options:

    • Own effect: only affects your own skills
    • Other player: affects ALL skills of other players
    • Event effects: affects effects for boss events (maybe you can divide it into more options, but at least a general option would be nice)

    This implementation would help everyone to adjust the settings accordingly and increase their performance. Also every option would be more reliable than before.

  • Item Shop prices & QuestHelper

    Quote from int

    Our broader goal is to narrow the gap between newcomers and veterans; without some economic tweaks that's not achievable.

    In general this is a good idea, but I don't this the latest changes are supporting this. When I was a newcomer the big difference between me and veterans was not beeing able to afford parfume and shoes (ofc besides gear and co). I had to loot everything manually. As a tank player, I couldn't do bigger pulls due to beeing slower. Now I can afford those items and need it to perform better and have more fun in this game. Veterans will still buy it and maybe save on other ressources. Newcomer now should pay 3 times the amount of dias than before, which they either didn't had, needed to farm a lot for it or had to pay a lot of money. I am pretty sure with this decision you will not narrow the gap between newcomers and veterans, but increase it. Please overthink this decision and maybe adjust prices on items, which will have a better effect on your goals.

    PS: QoL items are resulting in having more fun in this game. Not gonna lie, without some of those items, I might play less and less due to having less fun when I need to loot everything manually. I don't want to farm hours only to be able to play this game "properly" (in my opinion and playstyle).

  • Quest A Bridge Between Words

    You have to solve a decrypting puzzle. In the first picture is your an encrypted sentence, you have to enter the translation to finish the quest. In the second picture you have some words and their encrypted counterpart (same amount of letters). That means, you can now go through and make a list of the ABC and by looking in the second picture, you can find all counterparts for each letter (or most of them). With the list, just simply decrypt the sentence.

  • Dreamland Portal - Pet Stuck

    Hi,

    I want to ping this topic again, because it still happens more or less often. Not sure what it causes, maybe different types of ports, pet gets feared while porting, port towards specific destinations, .... But today was quite annoying, felt like every 5 waves I had to recall my pet (it was better in the end, no problem in the last 6 minutes).


    I guess it is hard to find the cause of the problem, so I have some suggestions for QoL improvements if you can't fix this soon or can't work on it due to low priority:

    • only port after every mob was lootet instead of 8 seconds after their deaths: allows to recall pet and loot everything in time
    • shorten port to 3 seconds instead of waiting 8sec
    • reduce pet summoning to 2 sec instead of 5 for everyone (no I dont have prestige and I dont need it)

  • Unattackble Monsters in Instances

    Hello there,

    lately (I think since last patch) a lot of mobs in IdK are buggy and not targetable. They just wander around, you can focus them, but no skill is working on them meanwhile they also don't attack the players. Sometimes I think it is due to mobs beeing spawned twice (one can be killed, the other one not). Also the wall behind Pangkor sometimes doesn't disappear, you can still port to the crystal afterwards, but maybe both bugs are related?



    Can you check it or will it already be fixed by the next maintenance?

    Best regards

  • Arcadia Coin Exchange - Feedback

    Something regarding the changes (and I was to lazy to create a post on my own :) )
    The second sentence might be wrong. It says I can "recieve" a maximum of 20.000 arcadia coins in germany. I think it should be "exchange"/"eintauschen":

  • Character Backports Issue

    Hi,

    today I tried arcane forge again. I use warden/rouge and usually just spam Power of the Wood Spirit while running in circles. After like 2 min I got my first backport and then it kinda needs 30-60sec for the next one (while beeing unable to do anything for 20sec before the backport finally happens, but enemies dont get any dmg).

    With the stuff Tarsq and Ikaria said recently, I tried to not spam PotWS all the time, but click, wait 2 sec, click again, which resulted in no backports for 10min. After that I tried the spamming method again and after like 2min, I've got backports again as long as I keep spamming it.

    I am not sure, if you (Devs) are aware of it (maybe) beeing caused by too much spams/requests, but maybe this information can help you.


    Edit: And I had a normal ping and fps, but was loosing one package all the time. Not sure, if that is normal, seems to be since latest patch.

  • NPC to sell unneeded itemshop-items

    Hello,

    over the time and with the big wordlboss changes, you have itemshop-items, which you dont really need anymore. Some examples:

    - same mount from wheel of fortune

    - level up pill from worldboss

    - old furniture

    - accidently bough the wrong item in IS

    - ...


    It would be nice to have a NPC, which buys itemshop-items from you for a certain amount of its original price (maybe 20%). Of course, some items should be excluded, e.g. encyclopediae.

    If this idea is not wanted, then maybe think about some changes for wb-loot. It kinda sucks to finally recieve a "rare" item and it is something you dont need. Why should someone with all classes at lvl 105 need a level up pill. It is kinda frustrating and if you can sell it for a low amount to a NPC, you at least get something out of it instead of throwing it away.


    Also open to any suggestions to improve this idea.

  • noob questions about progression :)

    That are a lot of questions. :D
    I try to answer a few, but keep in mind, it is only my opinion/advice.


    1. It is possible to get endgame gear as f2p, you just need to invest more time or concentrate it on endgame. I did finance most of my gear at the start with farming gold and selling it in auction house for dias. With those dias, I bough gear. After some new upgrades, I was able to do certain inis with my guild and able to farm new gear.


    2. No guild is really thinking, that you will be dead weight, only if you behave like it. As long as you show motivation and try to farm and play together with your mates, they will appreciate it. This is a MMORP and you need to play with others to achieve the highest inis. There are a lot of support combos. Most of them can be played with a low gear (as long as you have enough HP to survive certain attacks), because you will buff your mates or debuff enemies.
    Some supps and how good they are in my opinion:

    - Best supps: wl/d, wl/p, s/p

    - good supp: wd/p, w/p, ch/d

    Keep in mind, in some inis/situations, certain supports are more needed than others. There are also other good supports, but I cant comment on them (e.g. b/p).


    3. Try to "hunt" one in auction house, sometimes you can get one very cheap, but you need dias for that. As long as you are not "good" enough to be a dps, you dont need a endgame weapon.


    4. I am a main tank and only using golden repair hammer. Over the time, you have enough, if you grab your free stuff dayli.


    5. Ehm, no idea tbh. Just get one set and build it to farm anything like gold.


    6. In the end you always want your main stat doubled, but like I said in 5., your first gear is only for farming. You can use crap stats too.


    7. If you want an only support gear, go for cloth and just use crap stats. You need HP to not die everytime. When I play supp, I often use my tank gear, because my accessoire gives me enough HP. Focus on a farming gear first and play a support, which is needed and maybe isnt played in your guild.


    8. Permanten aoe-auras are good, but as you already said: wd and just spam power of the wood spirit. You may lack enough dmg at first. Wd/r is good, because it deals kinda double dmg (b/wd too, I think).


    9. It is needed, when you want to go higher inis, but it shouldnt have a priority now. Just do it, when you are free e.g. afk or on a weekend.


    10. sry no idea


    11. I think character, but again, sry no idea.


    12. You can get buffs for 2hours: droprate, exp, tp. There are some guys outside atlas. Use it to farm gold or level classes. Otherwise do WB, it gives arcadia coins, which can be converted into mems, which can be converted into dias.


    13. I think even r/k as tank is played with plate, because of the base armor you recieve. But you should focus on one gear at first.


    14. "crap gear" like second gear for support or for newbies. In the end you will have as much as you can of your main attribute, like i said before.


    15. Have fun, I guess? :D

  • Character Backports Issue

    I had it at different times and zones:

    - knight/druid in grafu awakened (around 8pm), 2-3 times in one run

    - warden/rouge in some mirror worlds (2-3pm on a weekend a few weeks ago)

    - wl/d in IDK

    - knight/ch in IDK


    It also seems to affect only few ppl at the same time in the ini, often only 1 person. Ping stays the same, just backports and no skill is coming out until you are ported back. Seems like a short disconnect/asynch between client and server.

  • Global Cooldown Bugged

    The most time I was able to recreate this, is when a white hit is overlapping in milliseconds with a GCD skill. Hope this can help to analyze the problem and maybe give an answer if it is inteded or not.

  • Warrior Class [Feedback]

    Kinda not true. This combo has one specific 2h-hammer skill (whirlwind), one standard aoe skill which requires 2h-hammer (rather new skill of warrior, opposite of moon cleave but for 2h-hammer, ID: 1492578), standard warrior skill zyklon, standard warrior ISS Crecent Moon Cleave and ofc champion skill shock strike (with a 2 sec CD).

    I think your request is kinda against the idea why they changed Moon Cleave and added a second skill for different weapon types. This class combo has good single target dps, aoe dmg is ok, but buffing it would definetly making it too strong and you can still use a lot of shock strike.
