Maybe remove other wowmap related addons, such as wowmap poi or wowmap instances? Maybe they interfere with the latest wowmap changes now. I think I got an equal error right after the patch and fixed it with that, but not sure.

I'm not sure about the balancing these days. There are some classes that are really powerful and others that are quite...bad. I think, I gave up comparing our (different) classes in our runs, since pdps always complain about mdps and vice versa So I keep praying for no kill-nerfs and playing my favorite magical classes

Regarding magical dps classes, I'm not sure what to think about balancing. Warlock is still very strong, but mage is kinda equal. S/M is better than any warlock or mage, but I have no clue about ranking the specific classes by dps. If a new mdps player asks me what to play, I always recommend Warlock/Warden, bcz it's the easiest way to deal tons of damage, but need specific "higher" ISS, for everyone else I recommend Scout/Mage, bcz it's the allrounder. Myself I keep playing the most anti-meta classes, bcz they are fun to play and got a lot of utility.

And...

Quote from Merkur

I am saying to add option for leather gear. Maybe create classes like s/m? For two eq (leather+cloth).

I agree. This could be a suitable reason to rework Priest/Scout Dps again and make it another (more balanced) Scout/Mage? As a mdps the class sucks, as a mdps/supp it's also useless (even in 6 player content we got a priest heal), so why not making it a hybrid class too? And a ranged leather class that can rez and such would be awesome, wouldn't it?

Quote from xLutinex

1 full run = 1 orange, 4 purple, 1000+ green

Really? I thought there are only about 250 mobs in there, that actually do drop green mats?! So droprate is a thing in hoto?

Quote from Merkur

Hello, after a few runs I would like to talk a bit more about hoto.

1) It is necessary to add some amount of coins for EACH!!! boss (not like on DL, only last boss)

2) It is necessary to add cards from ini, preferably attribute cards

3) In my opinion (I have jewelry in t13, rogue), on my class it doesn't make much sense to try to get new jewelry, maybe it's worth thinking about some passive ISS

4) It seems to me that the amount of 1000 green items is not proportional to the rest of the resources

5) In my guild, this instance is not liked because the limit of 6 people, please add a table like on rt, which will enable the mode for 12 people, increase the amount of hp of monsters and increase the drop of green items

6) However, the absolutely most necessary change is the addition of crystals

I agree to points 1, 2, 3 and 6. The rewards need some rework and there should be some kind of quality of life changes, but still, in a well set up party, your wipe ratio will be rlly low... so it's not thaaat important to add a portal I guess.

The amount of greens is ok I guess, but if you really lack that much, go farm the trash before b1, there you get enough for a pull in less than an hour without any drop rate buffs

Tbh I do like the 6 player content and would love to see more of these! We already got enough solo content (you can even literally challenge yourself by soloing DN, tikal, DL, Lv 95+ Instances, etc) we got raid content in the big custom instances, but there was no useful group content, for those who can't fill an entire raid or wanna do parallel runs. Just speaking for myself here, I really like that!

Quote from FluffyDude

No pet running and still told you can't cast this spell while in combat

If you don't see pets, this doesn't mean, that there is none There is an option in your game settings to hide pets. The mentioned scenario is actually how this fluffy game works, ppl need to resummon pets to trigger the end of combat sometimes, because pets can participate in fights, using skills and buffs. It's not always yours, but ppl keep resummoning until the combat ends. Ofc this doesn't always work, if you stand too close to fighting players/mobs, your combat won't end.

I enjoy the new instance very much. The only thing that bothers me a bit is also the missing Arcadia Coins and some guild mates complaining about the "bad" item sets, too. So I would suggest, put 5% Movementspeed on any set and another additional 1% damage. Then the sets would be useful for any class for sure.

Imo the loot distribution is fine as it is - you can farm the trash mobs before b1 if you lack in greens.

I also agree to the portal issue, but would also not like using ostrich in there, because of reason that MidanLauert mentioned above. Also, the idea about movement speed on any set would be useless if you enable usage of a 120% speed buff lol. Maybe the portal could be a shortcut after b3, so you skip half the instance, but still need to pass the green bugs.

Edit: We're already clearing the instance within 30-40 min, so imagine using ostrich speed additionally

Is it happening only after the latest patch, or you faced it before?

How you are entering guild castle?

What's previous zone you were in?

Are you able to reproduce it?

Happened only since last patch (for me).

Ported inside via itemshop transport stone 30d (208786).

Ported from Weeping Coast into the Castle.

I ported from under water into the castle. I was able to reproduce it. Recorded it:

So I guess, the bug lies under water

Hi there,

me and some others got the issue that we die sometimes once we enter the guild castle. Please fix that.

Kind regards

Quote from Madox

I didn't know where to put this msg, please move if it is necessary.

I was checking new Ocean's set in charplan and Im really disappointed. Tank pieces are still only for physical tanks even tho since balance (almost a year ago) we have magical tanks. New custom ini (replacing rofl in some months) will also not have magical tank sets? Please reconsider this direction, items should be adapted to the game in 2021 and not to the classes we had 10 years ago.

Regards.

It has All attributes bonus and dmg reduction, right? It's just about the crit damage I guess, but for me that doesn't really matter. Already got my original physical tank jewelry set on my warlock tank, so the ocean set will fit in, too. But yea, maybe one could consider adding both magical and physical critical damage on those rings.

Quote from Aeden

Wenn ich 100 Auktionen einstell, und nach meinen eigenen eingestellten Auktionen suche, sind vielleicht nur 20 drin. Und das über Tage. Die Problemkategorien sind Manasteine und Monsterkarten

Ich hab dabei eigentlich nie Probleme, nutzt du denn die Filter im AH? Damit kannst du deine Suche ziemlich genau eingrenzen, sodass du nur das bekommst, was du auch haben willst. Ich meine, klar, wenn ich ohne Filter nach Karten suche, bekomm ich "alle" angezeigt, bzw bis zum Limit des Auktionshauses

I don't have any problems like these, do you use filters in the auction house? You can locate your search results pretty much, then you only get the exact items, you're looking for. I mean, sure, if I search for any monster cards, I will get "all" of them, or respectively results up to the maximum amount that is being displayed

If you ask and won't force, it won't work, but surely you can try.

The game offer a function to create a public channel for free and invite players to it.

If someone wants to, you can shout out about on world chat.

Well, that private channel thing never worked imho. Either the channel disappeared after reloading ui or nobody used it. But as a default chat channel, I think, players would use it. I mean, I saw this in several other MMO's and it worked quite well overall, but everyone needs access to that. So a private channel wouldn't work.

Quote from int

How you would like to force players, to post there only trading offers?

I wouldn't force them, but ask them, I guess. If you get such an offer, you may use it... at least I would. And looking at other games, it seems that most players actually use that. Guess that's a thing the community could handle themselves.

Hi there,

we all know, that trading in the global chat can be pretty annoying sometimes, if it comes, that your posts are spammed away by some trashtalk, guild recruitement posts or other stuff. But auction isn't an alternative if you wanna sell your stuff fast. People keep spamming their "WTS" posts like any 30-60 seconds in order to display them in the chat.

So I suggest, implementing an additional default global chat channel, every player has access to, only for trading (for example by command /trade). This chat channel could be displayed in the general chat tab, too, but should have the option to (un-)activate it in the chat settings as well. So players could add another tab only for trading to filter the useless stuff out of the chat.

In other MMO's this already is a standard, which is very useful for players, because we all are traders somehow, some more, some less. And if you need a megaphone for usage, Idc.

Best regards

This actually seems to be a pretty good idea, since (speaking for myself) me and my wife both play offensive and defensive classes, but only 1 of us can benefit from a given buff each. I know from my guild mates, that some got the relationship months ago (in the meantime pretty much high leveled), but partially changed roles in our runs.

Also, there are much more DPS players than Healers and Tanks, so it's quite hard to find a partner for many players I guess. I, as a main-tank, was asked by multiple persons back then (but there was only 1 right choice UwU).

So I agree to the idea of giving both partners both buffs, or some kind of combined buff (since there are already too many buffs around).

Quote from Bilall

I was able to do this event with just candle/wine but it was harder than it needs to be due to not being able to stop moving by transferring aggro to meat.

Just put the meat on the floor before the next wave spawns. But be careful, the buff expires by end of combat. The meat will exist longer than necessary normally. So after putting the meat on the floow, you instantly go take a wine and check the next possible candle position. Once the zombies spawned, you keep some distance for not face-aggroing them and apply your wine once the zombies attack the meat. Sometimes a single zombie isn't aggroed by the meat, so you gonna kite it through the stack at the meat while applying the wine.

After you hit the zombies with wine debuff (its like oil, bcz alcohol can burn), you use a candle to light them all up. Your casts (wine, candle, soup) are hitting with splash effects, so they always hit all surrounding enemies around your target.

So with some practice you should be able to solo it. But, it's still a more complex boss mechanic, so it needs some time to figure out the right timing of the waves (which is literally static time).

Hi there,

the forum search isn't working anymore since the update. After clicking on the button...

...nothing happens. Guess you forgot to link the search page to it, since the current link is https://forum.chroniclesofarcadia.com/#

Best regards

Zyrex

Correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik the aggro of the meat is limited due to absolute values, so if you hit the zombies too hard, the meat can't pull aggro at all anymore. In the Chapter 4 ages back then, this wasn't an issue I guess - or it's still kinda buggy sometimes.

However, with Lv 104 and some basic gear you may be able to burst down the adds quite easily or kite them while using soups more efficiently. So whatever happens at this event, it shouldn't be a thing I guess. The only issue I remember was running out of meat/candle/wine.

I would like to see such an event, which could last for 2-3 days, similar to the already existing relationship event and such. The Weapon Lvl Exp Pets aren't enough by far to reduce the required amount of time.

Maybe you could improve the exp bonuses of already existing itemshop books (encyclopedias) in that event, or include them (after making them useful first) into the bonus of the pets?!

Hi my dear UwUs,

first, the new forum update looks pretty awesome, I like the reaction mechanic that replaced the Like-mechanic. But I unfortunately miss an UwU-Emoji there.

Could you maybe include one additionally? UwU

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

since the new worldboss is released, there is another title available, which offers better attributes than the original Aldo title. The current "Helper of the Chronist" title, which is obtainable by helping Playernet on certain ways, is based on the Aldo title plus 15% Movement and 8% Mount Speed.

Now, since the Chronist title would be deprecated through the new better version through the new Worldboss, I would suggest an advanced Chronist-Title for those helping hands players. This title could be even harder to obtain, like another level you need to reach after getting the original Chronist Title.

Also, there could be a Badge System Bonus which gives an alternative to the current best-in-slot Event-Title "Destroyer of the Underworld", which gives 1% Patt/Matt.

The title would look like this:

The title would be categorized as an Event-Title, in order to put it into the Event-Title Slot in the Badge System. Also, there is no alternative existing yet instead of the Helloween Event-Title "Destroyer of the Underworld", which would kinda fill that gap, too.

Also, the Helper of the Gods wouldn't replace the Helper of the Chronist, but present another "level" the helping players could reach. Currently you first get the Chronist Card on the "first level", get the Title on the "second level" and would get the advanced title on the "third level" after meeting another requirements, that could be even higher than the current ones. Only the worthiest of the worthy should get it.

The problem about the current Chronist Title is, that only few classes use it after succeeding over the new Worldboss. If you wanna deal the maximum of damage, the WB title is better. So the advanced title "Helper of the Gods" would be another motivation for players to support the server/team and get a very useful reward in return. Just the same way, the original Chronist Title was meant to be.

Quote from Patchnotes 10.4.2.1000

Revised parts of Realm of the Forgotten Legends terrain and objects.

Hey, today in ROFL me and my guild had a huge disconnecting lag in rofl 1st boss, 2nd room. Our tank started kiting the boss and suddenly most of our party lagged and disconnected. That was around 21:36 CET. Maybe there is a connection to the changes in ROFL within the patch?

Also, the way back over the hill (from the second room to the first one of 1st boss) bugs a lot since the patch, you constantly get stuck on the gound. Guess the hill is way too steep there.

In general, most of us had less FPS in rofl since the patch was released. What exactly was changed there? @Devs

Report of an unknown soldier of the Order of Dark Glory

"It was a hard winter in the forbidden lands beyond the borders of the known world. Me and my company never thought, the world we live in could be like that. This place is just amazing. I have no words to describe its beauty. But where beauty lies, there always is evil. Now, after months of marching beyond the known world, we finally arrived. I think, we are here to secure peace. The natives are so majestic and friendly, they deserve our protection, I'm sure.

One week ago, a scout unit of eight soldiers was sent into the target area. Only two of them came back. One of the soldiers had only one leg left and was bleeding like hell. The other had critical burn injuries. He just passed away in our military hospital. He was a good man, I knew him for about five years now. But this is no time for sorry, but for war!

I have no idea what happened to them but from what my comrades told me, they have been investigating beyond the forbidden mountains. I heard rumors about them, dark and mysterious stories about creatures we have never ever seen in history. After everything the Order saw and experienced, I never thought, there would be something new. Something, we haven't been confronted with yet.

So I asked my superior officer about the things lurking at this place they call 'forbidden mountains'. My captain is a man who already fought in many wars, faced the pure evil of the Zurhidon on Candara, but also fought in the last war of the dark elven prophecy of the Jhyr'na in the Janost Forest. But I never saw him like that. He looked at me and I was able to see something right in his eyes. Fear. Pure fear. He wasn't able to speak a word about the happenings. He just told me, he wouldn't know. But I'm sure, he does. There is something in these mountains, some creature, something, we never faced before. In the name of freedom and humanity, whatever it is, we need to purify those lands, no matter of cost!

Tomorrow our company will be sent right into the valley in order to push forward into the forbidden mountains. We are ready, I never felt more ready. So does my unit. We will bring victory to those unholy land, may it be by sword and steel! If you find this report, please tell my family, I love them."

Report of an unknown Zurhidon elders member

"Our scouts espied the troops of the invading Dark Glory. If they knew what comes next, they would definitely shiver and run for their lifes. I'm looking forward to the spectacle, our latest creation will bring us. They are ready, hungry and willing to fulfill their destiny. Those humans never knew when to stop. They can't win, they are too arrogant to admit to their failures and wrong decisions. They will all fall. Master will be pleased for sure if he hears about the inevitable. And after Zhargos and Phargos brought down those weakling humans, our next targets will be inescapable. Candara, your last hour has struck!"

Did you order that by power? Bcz that's actually pretty accurate. But I would put M/D over M/Wd personally. And I also have no clue where to put M/W... maybe somewhere over the rainbow
