Quote from Pistan

Man könnte sie ja auch jetzt die Lutinebrücke nennen

Ich nenn sie lieber "PTSD-Brücke", die hat das Schlimmste aus einigen von uns hervorgebracht, ich würde mir wünschen, solche Events nie wieder zu sehen, oder wie ich's vorgeschlagen hab, mit nem Early Access-Bonus für die Leute die was geleistet haben - wie auch immer man das umsetzen würde... Ich will ja nichts sagen, aber gewisse Personen haben während des Questens eine ähnliche Haltung an den Tag gelegt, wie zuvor beim Brückenbau. Ich sag nur "Ziegen"... wir hätten fast Gildenkrieg erklärt, so wütend waren einige von uns...

English translation:

I prefer to call it the "PTSD bridge", because it brought out the worst in some of us. I hope we never see events like that again, or as I suggested, with an early access bonus for the people who achieved something - however that would be implemented... I don't want to say anything, but certain people had a similar attitude during the questing as they did before when building the bridge. Keyword "goat" should be enough here... we almost declared guild war, that angry some of us were...

@devs: Maybe it would've been better to kinda "bind" goats to players or give them a stacking buff everytime they click on a goat and the goat counts into your objectives if you have at least 5-10 stacks. Then other players couldn't steal goats on the last click, that almost could have leaded to a great dwarven war 😱

Elo,

wanna leave some "last" feedback here as long as the memories are fresh

I really like the Zone Millim, even after clearing most of the stuff... you did very good with this one, big upgrade compared to Talaghan! The graphics are beautiful, the mobs don't annoy too much (only some debuffs and stuff and no more random oneshots, you don't even to buff yourself with food anymore, huge W). The quests were fun, some required some teamwork and I only got stuck once (by bug). You can tell, the zone was tested really well

The german translation was a bit weird sometimes, I'm not sure if "Elderfen" is correct or "Erdelfen" makes more sense, as it would be "earth elves" and not a wild mixture of letters 😂

...buuuut the real slim shady question is...

But for real, really well done, was a lot of fun (even the jump events, I had massive fear of before) Looking forward to the new ini and the dlcs!

Elo,

I have a request. How about adding some kind of Early Access to Post-Bridge content for those who donated into the bridge so that it motivates more ppl to spend their time on it?

If I check who donates and how many ppl don't, I start questioning myself why I'm still doing such effort, while majority of the server seems to have no interest at all. Some of my guild mates (and a lot of other guilds ofc) were farming for days straight, we did no guild runs since Millim release, only farming materials for the bridge. I think either the "leechers" shouldn't get any (or delayed) access or the donators should get access earlier before the entire server drops into the zone. We tried to convince ppl in the chat multiple times, but seems like they just don't want to participate. That's ok, but where are the consequences?

I mean donating is not a big deal, every piece helps already, but a lot of ppl seem to not even spend 5 mins of their time for the greater good, that's really sad... if every player on the server donated like 5-10 orange mats (like 20-30 mins effort without minmaxed setup), the bridge could open within a few days. But as of now, it will take forever, bcz the current donators are exhausted.

Another issue are those who sell the most needed tradeable materials (like coal and resin, idc about what u do with normal gathering mats) in the AH in order to make dias, while they could easily donate them for the greater good. In my opinion those ppl are disgusting If YOU, DEAR READER feel addressed in this matter, it's not too late to rethink your behavior!

Last I'd like to thank everyone who already donated into the bridge, no matter how much it was, together we can make it and grow together 💪 Your help is much appreciated so we all can enjoy the new beautiful zone Millim together!

Hi,

I like the new zone very much so far, the town looks lovely, specifically I like the benches and lanterns, but there is one thing that kills the fun entirely:

Push! Wir sind inzwischen sehr gut aufgestellt, sind aber jederzeit offen für Initiativbewerbungen. Hast Du Bock auf zwergisches Endgame, Rankings zu pushen, Unmengen an Dias zu verdienen, aber alles mit Humor und Spaß (Zwerge sind zwar Maschinen, aber nicht aus Metall), dann komm zu uns! ⛏⛏⛏

Elo,

I want to suggest adding name signs (like in Minecraft) I can write guild member names on and put them on their beds in our guild castle.

Right now it's pretty difficult to assign beds to the ppl, so name signs would be very helpful.

Also expansions of the guild castle (to put more funiture) would be much appreciated (so we can put more beds due to privacy reasons for every dwarf)...

Thanks in advance

Quote from kleos

However, the Focus cost (10 Focus every other second) feels too punishing, especially during extended farming sessions.

Elo, have u tried to use Soul Pain (498746) to restore focus? I got a condition in my rota to cast it when my focus is below 35 to be sure it doesn't run off

Quote from Ravinous

Have you written a healing CE before? And I don’t mean one where you click targets manually and try to spam a button for choosing heal spell on top of that. It’s INCREDIBLY complex [...]

Wait... I think we have a misunderstanding here... the only "rotas" we talk about are like a few mob targeting spells (plus maybe seed + title skill debuff).. You don't need to add player-auto-targeting mechanics or such, bcz the healers just work as dps by dealing damage on mobs and heal players around passively. So you basically play like a damage dealer, but you heal by some mechanics... THAT'S what you write rotas for, that are veeeeery simple and straight-forward. Doesn't need any experience in lua or kitty or whatever, since most conditions are one-dimensional too...

Current state of healers is either:

- play full heal classes with raidheal addon as before (bcz they were almost unchanged in gameplay), OR,

- play hybrid classes with full mob targeting rotas like a mdps player (either manually or with simple kitty)

Example is p/m: You cast your ice wind blade and get a proc to cast group heal (raid wide) instantly with no cost and can do this every 2 seconds. On single target you cast your sublimation rota and maybe some fillers, such as dots or ISS and whatever you can find to fill in between and voila, you got your full targeting rotation healer that doesn't even have to use raidheal or similar heal addon anymore

I saw some guild mates play druid/mage or priest/mage by playing such dps-hybrid rotations with minimal effort or optimization and they dealt quite good dmg (like 10-20% of a proper dps, maybe needs some buffs here and there) and healed like 50-70% of a full heal at the same time... nobody wants you to use full heal spells on players, bcz it's not even necessary... and if u don't want to play the new archtype, just go for full heal classes that still exist and seem to be untouched at all...

The thing what ppl seem to not understand in my previous posts is, that you don't need highend LUA scripts to play such hybrid heal classes at all, but if you WANT you can go for it. Just do a simple kitty and you're fine...

Quote from Ravinous

The main reasons healers don’t do damage is that they wear healer gear. They’re missing melee magic damage %, getting mdmg bonuses from various pieces of gear, pve dmg %, etc. I get that the goal was to make it so it was less necessary to stat / spec for heals in healer gear, but it’s not just an overall healing reduction per heal

From what I saw what guild mates already achieved within 1 day after patch, they already used %mdmg or %magic melee weapon dmg rolls on their weapons bcz %wis isn't best in slot for (hybrid) healers anymore and some found use in channel or enchantment gloves bcz both seem to be viable for them now... and the damage they dealt was pretty good (could even be buffed further imo)

Quote from Flacko

the fact that you actually just said learn it makes your whole quote make me lose hope for humanity, you expect people over 40-50+ years old to learn Lua/Kitty when they play the game for fun and just wanna play for the nostalgic feeling not to mention have 0 knowledge about writing code, everyone with a decent IQ can tell this change was unnecessary and not wanted by the community.

Yes, I'm so evil, I expect ppl to properly play/learn their new classes and to use an addon if they can't do it manually... I bet if you get along with healbot or raidheal, you can also understand kitty very easily, I mean the rotas of healers aren't complex or something, no need for big condition stacking and such, they remind me of warlock/druid rota of 2-3 skills... those rota-healers are actually easier to understand than most configurations I saw in raidheal or gridcliqueit, but what do I know...

And however, there are still some full lazy-mode heals in existance, so yea, I'd actually expect ppl to learn kitty to play the rota-ones properly, IF they can't press 2-3 skills manually (which seems to be an issue for quite a lot ppl already) xD

Quote from xLutinex

You cannot assume, that everyone is able to do lua scripts.

I don't expect everyone to learn lua lol, but kitty is quite easy to start with I guess... you literally have to know nothing about scripting and if you want to improve it, go for lua, that's all I say

Quote from Cosmo

So... maybe think about people instead of spreading nonsense? It's kind of weird to say "just learn it" when some of us do this in our free time for fun.

I was playing manually warden in the early days and after some time, when I found the scrutinizer addon, I had to learn how kitty or diyce works, so i could compete in damage with other players... so my point is, why shouldn't healers come to that point too? There are a lot of basic healer classes that can be played the original way without needing to use a kitty rota, but if you want to put your hands on better classes, improve yourself and make a rota... it's not an issue of time, but of being willing to adapt...

Quote from Cosmo

Keybindings are totally normal, so what exactly shouldn’t be done manually? xD

There is such mmo that takes place in a fantasy space setting with light sabers and stuff, there u don't have any addons and have to deal with standard interfaces too... and the combat system is more or less the same, its also tab-target without active combat but casts... there it works well too, I think healers just got lazy from early on and ppl commited a lot into lua development, so it's no wonder addons like healbot or raidheal exist for a long time...

Now the game goes into another direction, it's nothing bad, but a chance for the game to be more than it was before, you will have much more possibilities for your raids and stuff... I'm just saying try it and learn it before telling it's bad or unplayable...

Then... uhm... maybe... learn it? I started at 0 too once... but pls don't start speaking of skill, if u don't heal 100% manually yourself and instead press 2-3 buttons on an addon that does 100% of healing for you Compared to most ofher mmorpgs this game is easy af, now healers have to adapt to new gameplay, deal with it i guess, like all of us did too... I'd perfer full manual gameplay too, but it is what it is...

Yes, it's very difficult to use a rotation of 3-4 skills instead of just pressing 2 buttons on an addon all the time I like the changes and even consider to build an own heal gear now (like some ppl already did when they heard about the changes), bcz it's now not as stupidly boring anymore as it was before u can basically make kitty/lua scripts for heal now and you will be fine... classes like d/m or p/m can be played with kitty only! That's a huge W change imo... idk what u guys complain about, just play the game like all of us do alrdy xD

Edit: I mean imagine being a dps player and don't edit your rotation after a patch... ofc it will be bad then xD

Then appreciate the change itself... that Rake publishes this here, means that he wants to get our feedback, so we can express our wishes and maybe it will be considered 🤷‍♂️

Quote from Zyrex

This was actually one of the most constructive feedback I've seen from u in a while xD u can't imagine how someone with limited time feels about this change, it's a life changer honestly, instead of spending 20 hours, i will spend only 1 (if at all), this is insanely good 😱 But if u alrdy spent days for updating cards the normal way, I can feel ur frustration, but u can be glad that it will work for yourself in future too I guess

You're getting it wrong. The system would be good if it didn't require more stones than the manual process. And I mean significantly more. The fact that you can't set it to "stop when the minimum of one of the following [list of attributes] is present" is simply useless in terms of saving resources. It's just that it's probably true for the majority of players. I'm not surprised you're hyping it, though.

As I understand it, you can also upgrade card by card with your saved preset... that it eats more stones if you select all your cards at once is obvious i guess What I would like to see is a workflow: Select card --> select preset --> confirm --> done. If it takes me 4 times as many tiles, it's still worth it to me because it absolutely sucks the traditional way. I would give the shirt off my back for the mechanics

Elo,

do you know what makes me happier than everything in the world?

Quote from Rake

✦ Introducing the All-New Card Enhancement System

The long-awaited upgrade to our card system is halfway here! We're thrilled to present a completely reimagined Monster Compendium featuring mass card enhancement capabilities in a streamlined, interactive interface. The redesigned frame is not only more visually appealing but also 25% more compact while retaining all functionality you rely on.

✦ The "Enhancements" Tab: Automation at Your Fingertips

The highly anticipated "Enhancements" tab will allow you to utilize all your stones automatically with complete efficiency. Best of all, this powerful functionality will be entirely free – you'll only need the stones themselves.

✦ Future Development Roadmap

Looking ahead, after the "Enhancements" tab release, we plan to phase out stones completely, transitioning to a system based solely on the four existing monster card currencies. Here's an exciting insider preview: we're working on an enhancement system where you'll no longer lose attributes during upgrades – either the enhancement succeeds, or it fails while preserving your current attribute values.

✦ Your Input Matters

We'll share more detailed information about the functionality soon, but we wanted to give you this early look at the core concept. Your feedback is invaluable – share your thoughts and suggestions with us, as your ideas could be incorporated into the final release!

Below you will find a prototype of the updated enhancement system.
Please note: all information, including numerical values, images, and icons, is presented solely for preliminary review. The final version may differ from what is shown here.

Daaaamn this hypes me to the moon I can tell u, update presets is probably the best update I've seen in a while over all general game updated ever, I'm so excited rn 😱😱😱

The card system was so annoying before, bcz u had to click 100000 times the same 10 stones in the same order all over and over again and if u wanted to max them without dias, it was like another 50 stones per card in the same order again xD This update solves it entirely, so it's maybe one of the most useful quality of life changes of this year so far

Imo it doesn't matter what features it has additionally, just the update presets (however they are implemented) make me happier than 10 naked dwarf women in a room

Quote from grknkrdn1299

Mage/Scout was good, but they should let it stay like this for a while. It is one of a few classes that can compete champions in overall damage.

M/S was dealing 50-100% more damage of champions in burst, only Champ/Rogue could come kinda "close" to it in single target, but m/s still dealt like 25% more and our Champ isn't a bad player at all...

Quote from grknkrdn1299

Wl/S could have been much better. Yes this change is good, but it could have been better.

Wl/S can easily solo big room worldboss within 1 single phase and it doesn't even need perfect gear for it... if there is a more single target focussed ini coming, it will burn everything I'm sure... in Grafu it also dealt decent damage before patch, just don't do the mistake to use warlock AoEs with higher prio in big pulls, it will suck, better just switch between soul crusher and the cps one...

Quote from grknkrdn1299

D/R had very good single target damage and it deserved a nerf on its single target. But i dont think that AoE should suffer again. After last changes d/r has become a single target class. Like i said before, its single target should be nerfed and AoE should be boosted a little bit. And if you are playing in a party where mobs die really fast, you will never be able to deal DoT damage to mobs. Having increased DoT damage will not make a huge difference in my guild runs.

I mean true, if you add AoE to a single target class, it will be broken bcz it can do everything I guess? If u have too much overdamage in your group, just simply don't play a DoT class? This is like u say a Ferrari is bad in a drift race and loses to some Toyota cars, of course it is, but in a drag race it's op xD Why does every class have to be viable in any situation? As mdps you have access to 28-31 (if you count in meme classes) different classes, a lot of them are played with the same weapons or even rolls, so just adapt to your party and u will do good

Quote from grknkrdn1299

If you are able to use your DoT damage on mobs as warrior/mage, that means your party doesnt destroy mobs in 3 seconds !

It's the same with Wl/Wd, if u have too much burst power in your raid, play it on %mele weapon mdmg and the dmg will be decent, however it's a dot class so don't expect it to compete with drift cars This is what I like most about magic classes, u can always pick the one class that fits perfectly to your raid and the ini, so you can always be one of the best dps in a raid

Quote from grknkrdn1299

Quote from Idhril

shouldn't you try it in inis and test in diffrent situations before start complain about something was not necessary or is needed.

dont get me wrong i think its a bit to early to write things like you did

I already played these classes before this patch, and some of them were performing worse than before. With these nerfs they will be even worse. I mean everyone knows we dont need %35 permament casting speed for mage/warrior. Some of these changes are really very bad.

M/W was op if you had a good patt buff and if u had additional support for it, like resource generators, it just was insane. I never felt the class that much in Grafu, but I'm only having 80k buff, so I think with 85k+ u will do much better there... And if you had read the patchnotes, they said that there is some content coming up that adds another decent buff to buffgear, so probably huge gear upgrade, so stop complaining about a decent class that will become more decent soon xD

Quote from grknkrdn1299

I have a few things to say about todays changes on magical classes

• Mage/Scout was powerful in some situations. But i dont think it was powerful enough to deserve a nerf.

• Mage/Warrior will be really weak after these changes. Maybe you should just revert your changes in previous patches. It would be better if you reverted its Rage Mana back to 15% magical damage. And that would be enough.

• Warlock/Scout is not what we expected, you should have made its Sace's Impatience instant skill without global cooldown.

• Druid/Rogue's AoE nerf was not fair. It already had weak AoE due to changes on last patches. You should have nerfed its single target damage only. Its Necrotic Wound damage should be reverted back to 484%
• Warrior/Mage already suffered a lot because of latest nerf on Moon Cleave skill. This was really so much unnecessary.
• Warlock/Champion's latest change is not a good idea. If you want people play with a magical hammer, you should balance druid/rogue and mage/champion properly.

Rest of changes are understandable

Ah, I almost thought our guilds would finally play the same game xD

1. M/S was totally broken in our runs, it dealt like 50% more than other magic classes, I think the nerf wasn't even enough xD

2. M/W I need to play to see the impact in the next days, but it doesn't look like its killing the class honestly...

3. Wl/S feels good, better have a 0.5s cast than a GCD, it's a win, dont complain

4. We had D/R in our group today in 2 grafu runs and his damage looked fine now. Before patch it was just op, now it's actually kind of balanced. The single sustain is really strong but from what I read in patchnotes class notes, it should be like that i guess?

5. W/M was op pre-patch, I played it several times (full dot build with matt 2h sword) and it just shredded through everything while being immortal to anything, even the juggler aoes that oneshotted champions around me xD Deserved nerf imo

6. Wl/Ch totally broken in everything below Grafu, in Grafu its S-Tier next to M/Ch pre patch... so probably needs like 10% nerf and mdmg into matt changed, then should be fine...

Btw about dual wield on wl/ch: I asked GM Daleshy if it's a typo in patchnotes about "2 hammers" but he approved the class will get hammer requirement soon, so will be played with 2 hammers (and I like that!)

But what I don't understand at all about the patch: Where D/B croco buff? It only has 200kk hp and can tank bosses in lower inis, should be able to tank grafu bosses too!

Quote from Ravinous

The Warlock/Champion changes are awesome to see! I think that it might be a bit overtuned with the change to having an offhand, since I'm sitting at 220k mdmg with just my pet out. Some quick DPS tests show this will likely be overperforming even more so than D/R was.

I played the class in Grafu today and it dealt the exact same damage like mage/champ 😱 So if one considers m/ch as balanced, this class is in grafu too. But then we went into abbey and wl/ch destroyed everything, so maybe just change some mdmg against matt (like they did with m/w) and it should be fine I guess...

Quote from Ravinous

1. The bug is Psychic Arrow (ID: 1492094) is still using 5 rage for each cast. When using it as a filler between Severeds, this is making it really difficult to get Rage Sublimation off with > 50 rage (and almost impossible if not in melee range).

Where is psychic arrow costing rage? If you test in itnal camp, it will auto-decrease by 5 bcz u are out of combat

EDIT: btw the combination of D/R and Wl/Ch is insane, one adding a lot of dark damage support, the other helping with rage and psi

Quote from Cosmo

Hey,

from a healer's point of view, I'd just give a thumbs up to Annelia – the incoming damage design is solid. As a solo healer, it’s quite challenging (though less so on some of the more “OP” healer classes). Overall, I think the boss is well-designed in terms of healing.

That said, aside from Annelia, nothing else in this instance feels particularly challenging. It often comes down to “one-shot or not,” which gets a bit frustrating. I'd suggest introducing more mechanics like DoTs or other effects that don’t instantly one-shot players. This would give healers (and DPS – tanks probably not so much, lol) a chance to react, cleanse, or manage healing more skillfully, rather than just surviving or failing based on a single hit.

~ Just my two cents.

Greetings

If you interrupt properly and use some defensive support, like warden tank or wl/d, you won't be oneshot anymore I guess At least with some classes like m/s (that has no class specific defensives at all) I can stand between all mobs in big pulls and rarely get hit by more than 20% at once, i only die when the tank can't control his pull due to lag or such 😱 But having like 3-4kk hp as a mage helps a lot i guess It's just the jugglers that always kill me, but their cast is long so u can react in time normally I guess... but yea, compared to Anne the other boss fights feel like tutorial xD

If u keep dying in trash, maybe use a knight dps or w/p...

Quote from Cosmo

Quote from Zyrex

I like the classes as they are now, but maybe check mage/champ, it feels a bit too strong in 6er inis like Grafu...

Screenshot from grafu:

Isnt this a screen from a Priest?
Grafu aint a 6er ini since you can walk in as 12, lol?
Aswell as more context is needed for balancing something in there. Since we dont know any about the difference from you to the other 3 dps + 1 support i believe?

~ Greetings

Yep, I switched to p/s for the endboss so we had another battle rez, but screenshot is from everything before Anne... others also changed their classes, before it was:

1. m/ch (me)

2. Ch/M

3. Ch/S

4. S/R

5. B/S

Yea it was a 7 man run, but grafu is quite easy so its a 6 man ini for me that u can run with more ppl like u could do with the wings of room in the very past But even with more ppl the m/ch was dealing quite a lot of dmg, even more than my warmage 😱With full elemental / wind support it's even bigger 😱 I know u can't trust scrutis ever, so it's just for visualization
