RE: Patch 1.1

@knight: the patch is good Smile

first quest passed and started and i get a club+1 and a jacket +2 woo hoo lol, atleast i got 78 exp tho :0

Posted by Knightroad on 09-24-2008 at08:46:

the patch is crud, the only thing that was keeping me in this game was that my sword requirements would be lowered with the patch... and they are exactly the same so like i said i quit. less than 5k xp to go then i can kill one person with it then im selling up and deleting account...

Posted by Konrad on 09-24-2008 at09:15:

Knightroad, reqs are the same on each and every server of the same type, no matter which country, so I don't really know what are you talking about.
Cheers.

Posted by Shasu on 09-24-2008 at09:20:

He expected the patch to give him easiness and to lower the requirements for his Two Handed Sword. Obviously that would not happen as easiness gains start from level 60 onwards.

Posted by Knightroad on 09-24-2008 at09:32:

omfg... i have a account on the polish server... i am level 24... so i am NOT in act 2 and i am NOT a absorber so i do NOT get any kind of lowering in stats ... i found this on auction...

Good Murderous Mace of the Bloodsucker (+2)
Two-handed melee weapon
Damage: 51 - 75
Effects: Chance to hit -27, attacks per round: 2, AGILITY +22, chance for critical hit +28 %, weapon damage +16, STRENGTH +17, TOUGHNESS +22, HP +32 %
Requirements: LEVEL: 61, STRENGTH: 79, INTELLIGENCE: 36, KNOWLEDGE: 24, AGILITY: 46
Selling price: 26 950 Lgo
Value: Nanites 385, Mana 1171

level 61 is 305 points... my sword needs 4830 points at the exact SAME level..

so that is complete bull... there is NOT a chance in hell that just because mine is a sword the requirements will be that much higher.... 4526 points differneance because its not a mace? i think not...

clearly the polish dont have it better... its "only" 4526 points differance because its a sword... i think its more like its "only" 4526 poiints because its on the english server and there all stupid so they wont notice... or thats what it seems anyways...

Posted by Artoir. on 09-24-2008 at09:36:

Minshres tell me how you got the cursed one arcana?

Posted by diablo on 09-24-2008 at10:05:

Works fine with me, so there it goes: Thanks.

Knightroad: Are you in act2 and the requirements are still the same?

Every character in Act II gains racial bonus "Requirements lowered by 1% per 2 levels" for every level above 60, for every level above 70 the bonus is increased by 1%.',

Posted by Sarahahaha on 09-24-2008 at10:09:

Knight road, please go and complain somewhere else..... If you are quitting a game over a single item, why were you playing the game in the first place? Give it a chance... the patch has been up for hardly any time at all.

*edit* oh and knightroad? the one you found on ur other account was: Value: Nanites 385, Mana 1171, sompared to the value of the one in ur sig... does that help at all? they are very different, being different weapons!

/end ranting...

Question:
when I go to building site, why is there a number in brackets next to the reqs that I need? Is it because I am an absorber and thats what the stats would be if i wasn't?

Posted by Knightroad on 09-24-2008 at10:12:

no im not in act 2 Frown

im just pee'd because there is 4526 diffeance petween 2 exact same weapons at the exact same level... just because ones a mace and ones a sword and there on different servers... i thought the crack head high reqirements were gonna be dropped with this patch so that people could wield them this century... but clearly the devs or who ever dont give a dam about us... the fact they wont even talk to me about it or try and stop me quiting really helps me make up my mind about leaveing.... why cant they listen to us? i bet you a trillion pounds if i leanred polish and went on there forums with this it would be put to normal within a few mins.

EDIT: im sorry Sarahahaha... i just want a answer from someone who actully knows about the game and plays/play'd the game...

Posted by Sarahahaha on 09-24-2008 at10:16:

2 exact same weapons at the exact same level...

Ummm so they are exactly the same when one is a mace and the other is a sword... and one of them is +2 and the other isn't?

They are 2 separate weapons, you cant compare them directly like that....

quote:

the fact they wont even talk to me about it or try and stop me quiting really helps me make up my mind about leaveing

Seems like you aleady had ur mind made up....

hey wait, i do play the game :S

Posted by Knightroad on 09-24-2008 at10:19:

no.. there both at good +2... if you look a few posts back the requirements for both weapons are there...

Good Murderous Two-handed sword of the Bloodsucker (+2) [4830]
Requirements: LEVEL: 90, STRENGTH: 93, INTELLIGENCE: 52, KNOWLEDGE: 51, AGILITY: 46
Good Murderous Mace of the Bloodsucker (+2) [304]
Requirements: LEVEL: 61, STRENGTH: 79, INTELLIGENCE: 36, KNOWLEDGE: 24, AGILITY: 46

there shouldent be that much of a gap between them...

and yeah pritty much, the devs and what not dont seem to care so they can go to hell..

Posted by Artoir. on 09-24-2008 at10:39:

Knightroad, two handed swords have huge requirements normally. The reason the gap is so high here is because of how high it has been upgraded, and the addition of prefixes and suffixes. Merge a mace. The requirements will be lower and the damage only slightly lower.

I want to merge a Deadly Cape of Assassin, and I would if only the requirements weren't so high. I needed to equip Mystic Dagger of Conqueror, but I couldnt because the requirements were huge. You really think you're the only one who wants lower requirements?

I'm sorry to be so sharp, but I've seen you going on about this damn sword for about 2 months now, you even started your own thread based around it. Either merge a mace or change tattoo, just please stop wrecking our heads with your damn sword..

/Ontopic

I wana get questing. but I cant find a proxy server so I can get on the game in college >.<

Posted by Knightroad on 09-24-2008 at11:06:

Mystic Dagger of Conqueror's requirements aint that high, i found one on a quest befor...
and i understand there is a differenace between mace's and swords... but am i the only person that thinks 4526 points is a way to much? or how about the fact it will take best part of 10 years to wield it at good +2? you seem to forget the polish sever has been around for what... 2 years? highest point player is like 1800 points..

Good Murderous Mace of the Bloodsucker (+2)
Two-handed melee weapon
Damage: 51 - 75
Effects: Chance to hit -27, attacks per round: 2, AGILITY +22, chance for critical hit +28 %, weapon damage +16, STRENGTH +17, TOUGHNESS +22, HP +32 %
Requirements: LEVEL: 54 (61), STRENGTH: 69 (79), INTELLIGENCE: 32 (36), KNOWLEDGE: 30 (34), AGILITY: 41 (46)
Selling price: 26 950 Lgo
Value: Nanites 385, Mana 1171

That mace in act II, I'm an absorber with Demon Lord tattoo (13% easiness in total). And two-handed swords really have enormous requirements on higher level. I don't think you could even wear a Light Two-handed sword of Suicide on a high level upgrade.

Posted by Knightroad on 09-24-2008 at11:26:

soo... if cesarz or Rayneven (highest pointer on polish server) were in act 2 a absorber with demon lord tats.... they still wouldent be able to equip my sword at good.. but they could wield the mace at like good +3/4?

Posted by Shasu on 09-24-2008 at11:40:

Is this a Sword thread? The sword got nothing to do with the patch, it had high requirements before the patch and it has them afterwards too. There was no word in the patch notes that all weapons would be lowered in requirements. If you don't like the sword then change it to a mace or find another suitable item to go with. The game is not revolving around a Two-Handed Sword, even if it is in an unbalanced state.

Rayneven could be able to equip it if he had a Demon Lord tattoo and he was an absorber. His easiness would be:
5% from being an absorber
10% from the tattoo
15% for the 60+ lvl

That makes a total of 30% so he could be able to equip any item that needs 114 lvl (he's lvl 80)

Posted by Knightroad on 09-24-2008 at11:47:

no.. your right Shasu, i should get a spam warning or warning for spam, i dont care to be honest... i cant be asked with the devs or admin, they dont care about us only the size of there wallet... and its not just swords.. there are soo many other weapons that will never be equpied at a level were there useful... im guessing your a gunner shasu? you dont have to answer if you dont want to spam.

Edit: thats not to bad i guess evan.. but still.. with all that he will be able to equip my sword at good +1 but the mace at +5 or perfect? Frown

Posted by Artoir. on 09-24-2008 at11:57:

Well that's the price you gotta pay, either use the mace, or get different prefixes and suffixes. I refuse to participate any more in this discussion..

BACK TO THE PATCH

Anyone found anything nice while questing?

Also, i noticed something.

Easy quests arent QUITE as hard as Far Quests in Act I, I have 80% in 5 of them with normal gunner Equip, something I could never get.

Posted by dooz on 09-24-2008 at12:04:

Yea i noticed that as well, to me it seems that in order to get 80% you need to reach the level you can maximally train your stat to, for me that is 60, quite easy

Posted by Platinum_avatar on 09-24-2008 at12:13:

has anyone noticed that when lose an ambush... that u don't pay the regeneration cost in blood? Is this a bug, or have they finally decided that the constant lack of blood is actually a problem... I couldn't see it in the list of updates.....

Posted by Artoir. on 09-24-2008 at12:21:

Interesting theory Dooz, I'll check it out later when I can get on Smile

Same with yours Platinum

Posted by diablo on 09-24-2008 at13:51:

Who will be the first one to find a legendary weapon?

How do you change into the Cursed One? Is it a one off chance to change or can we decide a bit later?

Edit: I clam the record of first expo mob killed by new arcana Big Grin

:
# diablo uses arcanum Searing Blood, Gold Dragon takes 300 damage.
# Gold Dragon is slain on the battlefield.

Posted by Lysandra on 09-24-2008 at14:15:

WOOT PATCH!!! Big Grin

. wait...must go do pilgramages...
@ diablo-nice. and i think to become a cursed one you have to go on a quest, may have been answered earlier on in this thread....

Posted by CESARZ on 09-24-2008 at14:17:

when you complete all pilgrimages you will able to change on Cursed One

Posted by Busta on 09-24-2008 at14:19:

im pritty new to the game but so only in act1 this patch sounds good for you higher guys.
could some one tell me about the : 'Base item requirements are shown in brackets in its description

i dont get why i have two numbers now so do i need 30 or the (31) ??

Posted by blackcat on 09-24-2008 at14:29:

and what normal wepons hav got a boost then or is it only the legendary items that got the boosts

Posted by Lysandra on 09-24-2008 at14:38:

@ Busta, yep the patch will help out the high level players only, more specifically those over level 50 with all the pilgramages done.
http://wiki.bloodwars.net/index.php?title=The_II_Act here's the wiki tutorial that got posted earlier, I do believe only legendary items get bonus-again something only meeting the requirements of Act 2 can get....
anyone else notice that no low level player in Act 1 will stand a chance against a player in act 2 if said player wanted to farm them?? Maybe those in act 2 should be limited level wise on who they can attack.

Why would you want Cursed one after what Searing Blood can do? Wink

Posted by diablo on 09-24-2008 at16:23:

As a Gunman I will need the perception and with 13 attacks (at the moment) I gan get +650 damage per round if my HP is < 35%
Then there is the +30 to hit as a racial trait. That will help to get past Medusa (well, once noble turkey is properly stuffed and put in the owen).
And then there is the punishment thing... With astral set the only thing I would loose is the searing blood.

Posted by God_Like_Friend on 09-24-2008 at16:30:

Understandable, it would be nice for somebody to see how much damage Searing Blood can do..

Posted by fool on 09-24-2008 at16:35:

if i haven't done the kill wolf king task and move into act two will i find him on normal or hard?

if it is hard i am an idot

No, u need the 30.... the 31 is how much other people need to use it.... since ur an absorber u get +5% easiness, so u need less requirements, but if someone (non-absorber) wanted to buy ur item, or use it through the CA or something, then it makes it a lot easier for u to tell then what the requirements are....

and with all this new arcana flying about, I take it that there isn't gonna be a set of jewelery that gives u the ability to use it? or what about if u upgrade the 'double arcana' (eg. dancing) sets to higher levels, will there be more revealed?

OK, probably not... but it would be cool Tongue

Posted by Serafine on 09-24-2008 at16:47:

You find him on Pilgrimages one.

As for Platinum pointing out it doesn't cost to regen blood.. Sssssh dude. If it's bug let it lie for a while lol.

Be sure to keep a few quest reports ppl, for something like Agresiel's Story thread. Maybe start compiling an Act II Story line.

@Platinum, they stated earlier that they won't allow a jewellery set to duplicate new arcana.
