1. The wallpapers section have been added on the game portal.
Pls, fell free to use it.
2. There should be race-bound avatars visible on the attack reports.
3. http://r1.bloodwars.pl/charmake2.php this is a link to a character selection menu that is still under development, feel free to enjoy. (the descriptions, have not yet been traslated, also the fonts shall be changed).
4. As adviced by users (Advice for the Admins) Szeszej is adding BW to a different game rankings.
In the following days we should have a voting banners added in the partners section. (accesible thru loggin portal: www.bloodwars.net)
EDITED:
FYI: a hugh patch should be ready for testing by the end of August and comming on-line in September, bellow there is a list of changes that are going to be implemented:
- tatoo bonuses will be drasticly rebalanced
- some buildings requirements shall be relaxed, to make defending possible
- luck in items will be lowered
- suicider sufix will recieve requirements panalties
- stones will be atuned to characters progression
- items merging tree shall be changed, some items drop rates will be adjusted, some requirements shall be changed.
We are considering reseting tatoos to "zero" level and returning spent stones/exp so anyone could decide on their setup once again after they have ben redesigned.

What penalties?
If it will be very bad you should also give back stones that was used to upgrade it or stones that was used for merge.
In my opinion there shouldn't be any serious change.

It will require additional stats as at present it is the only-right choice.
The other combinations simply stand a little chance against it and are tooTOO expensive in comparison.

Well then tattoo shouldn't be reseted. You can't simply decide what should be restarted and what not. Either reset everything that this patch will concern or nothing. This is not beta stage of game. I pay for this game for long time same as other people do.

The thing is simple, we can calculate how much everyone had spent on makeing tatoos, but to calculate how much had one spent on makeing certain weapon is impossible.
In every game patches does change gameing balance, but this should not stop creators from willing to make a perfect game.
From all that who are playing BW-uk I would believe that You should understand it.

I don't understand it. Long time ago I told you that tattoos are unbalanced but you said then that everything is fine. Why did you change you mind???
Reset everything or nothing.
Here is link:
Black knight tattoo
That is why I don't want to reset tattoo you should think of balance sooner!!!

1. it was NOT Me.
2. its not about the tatoos requirements (thoug some might be adjusted) but the high lev bonusses.
3. I start to think that You say: I am the power player now so I dont want any changes, they could put me into a worsed position - and I want to say: I want all weapon types to be usable and to have similar chance to win; I want all races to be quite equall on the battle field.
4. Even the biggest companies make re-balancing patches, f.eg. Blizzard (starcraft, warcraft, WoW) and others.
5. As the changes in the tatoos can be quite significant I want all players to have EQALL chances to make a second choice.

1) But someone from administration.
2) It was about tattoo that can be used with xxx of suicide and other need to find many equipment to meet tattoo requirement.
3)I want changes but why do you make them so late? From begin of game I wanted to use 2h weapon and make Black Knight tattoo. Administration told that tattoos are fine and no change will be implanted so I made Berserker because it is easier to meet its requirement. After reading that tattoos can't be in near future removed I sold my so far collected black knight equip. Now you are telling me that you will wipe all tattoo??
When you do this I will have to be again berserker instead of Black Knight. If you really want to make all tattoo equal then you need to give stones that was used on merge upgrades auction and bring back equipment that was sold on auction.
When you reset tattoo then suicide user will use again tattoo that require max defence because they don't have any other equip.
4) WoW huge change?? Never heard. GW huge change?? Never heard. FFXI huge change? Never heard.
All those games had long beta stage where everything was balanced. After game went into pay to play stage there were minor changes made like lowering power of shaman and ranger. If I'm correct that was 1 month after it run into p2p.
You are taking money from us and want to make huge change like changing requirement of some weapons and balance tattoos. This is huge change. I played many p2p MMORPG like those noted above but I never heard that any of them changed 50% of game after taking money from players.
5) There will be no 2nd choice because player that used guns will use guns tattoo again. Player that used suicide weapon will use suicide tattoo again. The only group of players that will change their tattoo are ranged weapon user and 2h weapon user that made tattoo for that weapons.

- suicider suffix will receive requirements penalties
- items merging tree shall be changed, some items drop rates will be adjusted, some requirements shall be changed.
will we be be able to know before patch is implemented the new requirements, so we can make sure we have the stats to wear the items we already own ??

A quick question on the changes for Suicide:
How is raising the stat requirement going to affect the usage of the weapons? The way I see it raising the stat requirement won't take it out of reach of the upper level players, but will keep it out of the reach of lower level players for longer, hence creating a parallel imbalance to the one you are trying to address with the patch.

I agree with Gendibal. If you want to make serious change like this then you need to wipe all server.
this is not typical MMORPG here you need to collect equip for long time. You can't go into market and shout out what you need. New tattoo will require new equip and it will not make it equal by any chance.
You should balance expedition instead of tattoo. I didn't see any tattoo that is stronger that other. The only advantage have max melee tattoo because of suicide weapon but as I wrote above administration don't treat it as a advantage. So you want to wipe all tattoo because of requirement??
It is really lame that when I wrote about this problem none of administration saw this problem but suddenly it is.
Suicide weapons are powerful but if there will be any change then administration should let people know how their weapon will look after this patch.

I don't usually speak up in defence of admins and devs, because I'm used to being a tester and challenging them at every turn, but I will say that sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to see a problem that others can see ..... obviously the admns are getting these fresh sets of eyes in and making attempts to repair the areas that need repairing.
But that being said, I'll go back into my devils advocate mode and say that, although this has been declared a fully functional server, it is technically and should be seen as a Beta if such sweeping changes are being made as have been suggested here ..... maybe it's time to label this as such and get it ready for a full version release with full reset.
Before you flame and debunk this idea, look at the evidence of the past few weeks ..... top rank players ready to leave the game because of the imbalances, the admission that Underworld is an entirely different entity from the pl servers, the volume of players in all ranks going inactive ..... the entries in the MMORPG lists should read BETA and players should (and are starting to be) listened to on the changes that should be made.
Granted 100% of the player base can't be pleased all the time, but happy mediums can be reached.

hmm, i think that patch will be good
delete tatoos very well, but maybe not giving back stone and exp? i think that u should make options on account that person can reset his tatoo one in his undead life ... and i now what i write, cus one of person that delete tatoo will be me 
even i make mistake...
about suicide, i think that is not good to change they req. now we can only wear light xxx of suicide on lvl good and highter ( i dont talk about some unusefull prefix, like sharp, shining, crystal etc. )

If this patch will occur then it should be completely different from polish one.
I don't want some polish players to have advantage at other inexperienced players. Zauburin from begin knew how to merge good weapons and what tattoo should he chose because he gained those information at polish server.
So if you want to change something then give everyone equal chance and not only polish player that probably knew everything about this patch already.

Elisabeth and who this tells. This you complain the most at present. This that someone plays on Polish server it does not it mark that playing here it does not it learn on one's mistakes. I can this say about me. Sometimes is lucky and the another time of bad luck.
I would can this name with roulette.
Sorry for my English.

That is possibly true, but the only way we're going to have a chance of putting potential problems forward, and it being altered to benefit the game is to put them in writing on here so the admins can actually see them.
And if things do get worse because of an update at any time, no-one can say that we didn't try to get things over.

They've implemented nothing yet. Thus, some of the ideas might have influence on the final look of the patch.
- tatoo bonuses will be drasticly rebalanced
+ Don't care for as long as there is no option to remove a tattoo given.
- some buildings requirements shall be relaxed, to make defending possible
+ A very good idea.
- luck in items will be lowered
+ Neither do I. I stick to my quilt, and that's the only luck I have. Which is probably the reason for my finding a lifestone (1 lifestone), and nothing better (as in: more commonly desired)
- suicide sufix will recieve requirements panalties
+ Fine as long as only requirements are given and the weapon's bonuses remain unaltered.
- stones will be atuned to characters progression
+ Finally. And I hope it is a significant change.
- items merging tree shall be changed
+ We shall see. For now, there is no comment proper to give.
- some items drop rates will be adjusted
+ Nice. Some things are just never there (Has anyone seen scythes?), and some things (Expensive xxx of Betrayal, Mystic Crowbar, etc) come in too huge quanities.
- some requirements shall be changed
+ Test it well before implementing. But it's nice you announce it. I can remember well bows change their requirements on R3PL, but only after I've spent all my starting points of progress.

Luck items seem to be too common at the moment, lowering the luck bonuses would at least redress the balance of the quantity ..... never seems to do anything for me anyway

Not sure on that, the bonuses on Suicide make it a weapon that unbalances a fight, in fact if you have 2 sui's and a sniper, there is no real reason to have any other weapons, which isn't necessarily a good thing at all.

I still say that finding stones should increase in rarity as you increase in level to give lower level (i.e. under clan armoury level) players a chance at improving at a greater speed.

I don't see how this will change anything apart from putting all players on a near even field as far as merge knowledge goes from that point, which in my opinion is a good thing.

I had a murderous scythe many moons ago ...... even if I still had it I couldnt use it, requirements were unbelievable.

I agree with that, which is why I believe this should be put down as a beta server ..... obviously there are some major changes ahead, and those need testing in the environments in which they are going to be played to gain the right sort of feedback.

It's not. I, however, have neither. And, although every vamp craving for suicide weapons and/or a sniper rifle seems very boring, there is little which can be done to make it less a must, which should not hurt those who invested their mergestones in the suicide weapons at the very same time. I believe high requirements is enough. They should limit the agility boost, and thus make other weapons (like weapons of valour for instance) a fine replacement.

This patch is huge so there should be made conditions.
1) All tattoo requirement and 1st level of tattoo bonus will be know 30 days before patch.
2) All suicide changes will be known 30 days before patch. There will be topic where players will post their suicide weapons and administration will write their changes.
3) Players that will decide to use other weapons will gain option to regain stones from not used equipment/weapons. Merge = 150 bs upgrade 0-5 1.2 bs upgrade 5-6 75 bs upgrade 6+ 14 bs.
4) 2h melee weapons requirements should be lowered. Now the only 2h weapon that can be used is mace.
5) Topic about luck items. Similar to point 2 if someone merged/upgraded item then he can get stones as noted in point 3.
30 days is enough to recollect new equipment.

It is very lame knowing that this patch will be implanted.
Now I can't upgrade my equip because I'm not sure if I will need it after patch. I can't upgrade my weapons because I'm not sure if I will be able to use them. I can't spend my progress points because I'm not sure what stats I need to raise after that patch. I can't upgrade tattoo because they will be wiped.
I'm stuck in game!!!
All thanks to administration. Can you answer my condition that I wrote above!!??

So what do plan to do with people that are stuck in game like me?
I didn't found any huge patch in WoW they just fix minor bugs not all game. You shouldn't compare this game to WoW.
