 Thread: Patch 2.0 is coming! |

I'm going to ask something you can in no way promise, but I really hope you can take in to consideration...
If it's ready on the Friday, could you roll it out early?
On your side of things, this is a regular job. It makes sense to roll out at the start of a working week.
But we're the end users playing a game for fun. This would give us all a weekend to mess around with the changes, and in the case of the Polish players a long weekend to play around with all the new toys.
Just putting it forwards that if you manage to finish early, please feel free to roll out early!

This is far from perfect, as Google translate can struggle with Polish, and I did this on my phone too (NOT FUN).
But news is news!
*****
Dear Players,
Below you will find the changelog patch 2.0. The patch will be uploaded to the servers on November 12, 2018 before noon.
Yours,
BWTeam
All Servers:
Conversion of levels:
The thresholds of experience required for promotion to the next level of experience have been changed.
Training costs have been changed in such a way as to match the new rate of level acquisition and enable training at high levels.
The training and free development points of all players have been recalculated to match the parameters they would get from the beginning on the server with new training and level costs.
Introduced a new look of reports from ambushes, expeditions, expeditions and quarters. The new reports, in addition to the content identical to the current reports, contain a graphical, animated and simplified presentation of the course of the battle. In addition, in the summary of reports, all acquired resources will be aggregated, and found items sorted by quality.
Talisman. Furia of the beast: Change of required runes for Green / Green / Blue / Gold / Gold (instead of three Greens and two Golds).
ATTENTION! At the time of entering the fleece patch, the color of which changed, was removed from the talismans of all players. It has also been removed from the saved sets of talismans.
Further levels of evolution have been added (the change does not apply to evolution acting as an aura). The next levels have the same effects as the first 5 levels of evolution. All effects add up. The cost of buying and using evolution at levels 6-10 is twice as large as in the case of levels 1-5.
A new evolution has been added: Strengthened muscles.
The cost of evolution has been reduced. Contamination of Mana to 300/600/900/1200/1500 points of evolution.
Those who have purchased the Mana Contamination will receive the return of the overpaid points of evolution.
Added bonus evolution points awarded for odd levels:
level 3-49 => +10 evolution point at each odd level,
level 50-63 => +50 evolution point at each odd level,
above level 65 => +100 evolution point at each odd level.
The points of evolution for the odd levels gained until now have been granted to all players at the time of patch entry.
Experience from expeditions earned in acts 1-3 was compared.
Increased the amount of experience gained on expeditions in duos and larger warehouses. At the same time, doing higher expeditions will still give you more experience, also in a larger team.
The option of giving up experience during the organization of the expedition was removed.
Blocking or sucking opponent's ropes will not disable the effects of lariat-dependent talismans.
The combat statistics introduced in patch 1.7.11 have been removed.
The passage of the last level of the King of the Hills location will provide additional experience in the level of the player * 5 * location number.
The journeyman's time bonus will run up to level 64 inclusive.
The Adept time bonus will give +1 evolution for each won trap and will run up to level 49 inclusive.
Time Bonus Champion will give +2 evolution for each won ambush and will run from 50 to 64 level inclusive.
In the summary of team fights, the total damage dealt will correspond to the real life points lost by attacked opponents. For example, if the opponent had 100 life points and dealt him 5000 damage, then in the summary this blow will be counted as 100 inflicted damage.

Any more news yet?
Can you not throw us a bone with some confirmed changes to chew on or something?

| Thread: thoughness |

It feels more like a stat you would only notice when it was gone, it definitely matters in KotH and against melee, some expeditions we would probably feel it if we didn't have it. As Resilience becomes more accessible it should matter a lot more as it actually starts to reduce gunfire damage taken.
If nothing else, tinkering with such a baseline stat could massively throw off the game balance in hard to predict ways! At the very least we need to see what the game looks like after the impending massive update drops.
Toughness is boring, but sometimes boring things are important :p

Any idea when we'll see the update?
It was supposed to be a few days to tinker with Necro, then a few days to roll it out.
I don't doubt a huge change could unexpectedly throw such a fast estimate off, but it would be nice to have an update

While it got a little derailed with a specific request, as above I would very much like a news announcement.
There still hasn't been any official word on here outside of me bringing a translated post over.
Google translate on phones (or mine at least) isn't doing anything with the PTR server. I have to copy/paste and hope for the best if there's no English translation provided.

Here's the translated announcement:
PTR Moria
We would like to thank all the testers for help and suggestions regarding planned changes.
We are currently working on the last balance adjustments.
Due to the fact that the tests for Moria are considered completed, today at 20:00 PTR Moria server will be closed.
PTR Necro
The Necro PTR server will be open for a few days to fine-tune the balance and will be closed next week.
What's next?
Within a few days after closing the Necro PTR server, the approved changes will be uploaded to all Moria and Necropolia servers.
Sincerely
BWTeam
So in a few days Necro PTR goes down... Then a few days after that ALL servers get an update? O.o
How soon will we know what that looks like?
While I wasn't on there much, I really enjoyed the PTR server.

This is a weird issue...
It's very RNG dependant, and definitely let's some players hit the jackpot, but I also quite like that you can play this as a stubborn pauper and eventually get somewhere.
I merged hundreds of junk items to eventually get the weapon I wanted.
|
|
| Thread: Chainsaw requirements |
|
|
Hello, I've already raised this in another thread but wanted to put a spotlight in this.
With literally years of merging (and some help over the finish line) I've finally merged a Demonic Chainsaw of the Basilisk.
Using the item preview, it would need 214 Intelligence and 223 Knowledge at Epic +5.
An Epic +5 Flamethrower needs 204 Intelligence and 168 Knowledge, for a weapon which actually uses these stats.
Now, it does thankfully get halved with easiness and I'm happy being and oddball weirdo in this game so I'm good running it at low Epic levels just to be a maniac with a Chainsaw, but...
Are there any long term plans to rebalanced Chainsaws so that they're actually the best melee weapon? Need more Intelligence and Knowledge than Snipers is a bit wasteful if you actually want to succeed as a melee user.
This feels possible now you have Reforging at Epic since every high level melee level uses Katana instead and would freak out of Chainsaws got good after working on Epic Katanas. But there's already a problem if every high level melee user except weirdos like me won't even touch your "best" weapon.

Does nobody else see how continually adding features that are exclusively for premium pushes the game away from being free to play?
Eventually it would become "free to play" a "trial version" of the game, but essential to pay to keep up with players who not only get more daily actions (a decent advantage, but still only just that) but who can also reset their character to capitalise off whatever new changes are made.
I appreciate the work the Dev team do, and I buy Prem when I can to support them. But alot of what they do is try to maintain balance between different races/tattoos etc... so I appreciate their efforts by playing the game as its put before me. Complaining that a new feature makes your choices seem like mistakes is kinda disregarding their efforts no?
Yes, we all make some poor choices, live with them. If everyone has to do the same its not a punishment, its just (non)life. If only non prem players have to live with it, it becomes a punishment only for those who dont/cant pay.
Race change and tattoo change were added before we had multi accounts, whats the excuse now? |
WHAT POOR CHOICES WHEN THERE ARE NO CHOICES?
My Evolutions got mis-spent when there was nothing else to.spend them on now.
What's your point? You want to be smug people that some people end up with character mistakes?
If Evolutions will keep being added to, the problem of "this character will forever be worse than another that gets to the same level" purely because you bothered to play it for longer?
How is that not punishing people for playing?

Player choice isn't a bad thing.
Permanently punishing players for mistakes feels pretty bad though...

The flipside of that is that a lack of re-speccing just hurts pioneers.
It's not even mistakes!
I have massive amounts of dead evolutions that I activated to help with quests because I had no idea what was coming next.
I'm a Black Knight running a defencive build. I would not have Wings Level 1, Enlightened Level 2, or Sixth Sense Level 4 AT ALL.
There are also things like Harmonious development or Memory of the Ancestors I may not have bothered with yet if I had known other options.
As it stands now, if I took a break and came back (allowing for newer characters to catch up to or surpass me, which I have done in the past) I would have an objectively worse character. You can't even shrug and say "that helps with late game equipment and buildings" because evolutions don't work like that. I just have to live with a worse character because I'm a long term customer.
It feels pretty bad.
We're not even asking for it to be free!

| Thread: User suggestions for Tattoo buffs |
|
|
I posted about just my tattoo path in a separate thread, but got to thinking about what would help the other tattoos without just making new obvious best choices.
Monk
Scale their healing on hit to their level (every 10 levels from 100 onwards = +5, ANYTHING, just give them long term scaling gains)
Since they're your anti-gun PvP pick, give them something like "Opponent's Perception halved in Ambush" so they can get at over Perception moats easier.
Black Knight
Bonus to hit tied to armour.
Demon Lord
As Black Knight, only on top of their existing hit bonus. Make it easier for them to hit things, Ranged is a pain for this.
Collectors
Let Collectors collect. 10% chance of a bonus item per quest. 2-ish extra items per day.
I would argue go further!
In KotH +10% chance of second enchantment, +5% chance third enchantment. In expeditions +10% Rune chance.
Let them get powerful by being better at collecting things!
Hunters
Let Hunters hunt. Go deep on it, make it special!
Bonus Perception, Agility, and Damage equal to Level in expo and KotH.
You could even argue they should have a better Rune chance boost than Collectors, if that should be applied to Collectors. Make Hunters good at HUNTING.
Assassins
Each % of critical chance over maximum becomes % critical damage. Assassins hit harder by making unique use of redundant stats that are their speciality.
Possibly something to make them feel more like an Assassin too. Like the first thing they hit in a round is marked as their target and that's the only enemy they attack until they're dead (that one may be tricky to implement though).
Edit: I for got that Gangsters even exist!
Give them level scaled bonus Rep in Ambush. Make them shake down goons. A Thoughtcatcher protection racket would be horrible in story terms, make it a reality!
Bonus edit: Just give Gangsters bonus Reputation by level. Let them have some fun, and stand out as a tattoo path choice.

| Thread: Any chance of Black Knights getting a hit bonus linked to armour? |
|
|
It feels sometimes like Black Knights are just inferior Berserkers. Are there any plans coming to help give them a niche more than just an option to change tattoo?
The improvement to Beast's Hide and Aura of the Beast really allowed me to tank again, but it still feels like I'm playing Sniper or Berzerker Wars sometimes.

Same. Every attempt to click around after logging in sends me back out of the game for "inactivity" :/

|
| Thread: When do KotH locations start getting good? |
|
|
I have 8500 Favour of the Lord of Darkness at Small Gate, and Im getting an endless parade of mediocrity.
To upgrade 1/4 damage to 2/4 needs 12500, so is that about the benchmark?
Does any amount help with secondary enchantments? Tertiary ones?
What do we need to go from getting lucky, to picking from good options each spin?

| Thread: Content patch - what's coming in the upcoming patch? |
|
|
I'm pretty impressed you're answering during the holidays at all :p
Enjoy some time, but this IS poorly balanced. Melee users shouldnt need higher gun stats than gun users. While it's interesting up to a certain point to force us to diversify our stats instead of loading into a narrow set, it's pretty unfair as it stands.
|
|
| Thread: Content patch - what's coming in the upcoming patch? |
|
|
The Intelligence and Knowledge requirements, while an interesting way of pressuring a player who want to use Chainsaws, are WAY off there.
A fully affixed E5 Chainsaw needs over 200 in each stat. Even with maximum easiness that's ridiculous for melee dump stats.
Either drop it down to sane levels, or give Chainsaws bonuses for it. Intelligence = Hit and Knowledge = Damage would make it worth jumping through hoops for, but having to run gun gear for melee with no benefits is shocking.
EDIT: I just checked, and an E5 Flamethrower needs less Int/Kno than a fully affixed E5 Chainsaw! What strange new hell is this? XD

We've had two major overhauls now, is it possible to have an option resetting evolution points?
I for one have dead evos that I idly bought to help questing from before Talismans. It would be nice to take back those mistakes.
Would gladly pay Premium for this!
