Patch 1.4.18

Hello everyone,

On Moday, the 22nd of October 2012 we'll be implementing a new patch on all BW servers.

We'll be implementing all the changes mentioned here BW Roadmap 2012 plus KotH Bonus and:
- Cultist - Searing Blood is reverted to 1.4.17 until we are satisfied with the new mechanic.
- BK - requirements lowered.

WARNING! We're implementing some changes that may upset the item market so to the exact patch notes will only be revealed on the day of the patch.

WARNING2! 1h Guns: we are continously evaluating their situation and the relative strength of the Gunman and Gangster tattoos and we may modify them further.

Best regards,
BW Team

List of changes that will also affect R2:

1) Beta - KotH Bonus (all servers).

- Every consequtive location in KotH has an increased chance of dropping rare enchantmant and lowered chance of dropping lower tier enchantments.
- When a player exceeds the suggested level of a given location (and thus generates additional foes) he will have his chances of getting rare enchantments is also increased.

2) Two new events added (all servers)
- Grace of the Lord of Darkness - during KotH expeditions the minimum number of foes is always summoned, no additional foes are summoned regardless of characters' levels.
- Wrath of the Lord of Darkness - during KotH expeditions the maximum number of foes is always summoned, a maximum of additional foes is always summoned regardless of characters' levels.

3) The Cursed One: Breath of Death arcanum works when below 45% (formerly 35%) and also deacreases agility by 3 (-7 before the patch) for every level of the arcanum. Additionaly each level of the arcanym increases the chance to dodge by 3% (R1) or 2% (R2) when it is activate (dodge chance is capped at 30%).

4) Miscellaneous:
- Shoutbox: fixed a bug that let a former clanmember see and write on the clan shoutbox until he relogs.
- Auctions: some minor changes suggested by the players

Regarding high levels joining koth - resulting in more mobs and better chances of a better enchantment - is it their level that effects the increased chances, or the amount of mobs?

I ask because, you can be unlucky and get a lot of mobs - will this mean if i pass i can get a better enchant?

Or the event, could give me full mobs - will i get a better enchantment?

edit: also what minor changes are being made to the auction house? i cant see any differance on the pl server lol (or can anyone who plays another server answer this?)

Hmm, so its a positive feed back system, those who are crazy high leveled, are going to be getting far stronger enchants than anyone else.

I guess its a good way to make player level mean more. i.e. player A. lvl 100 and player B. lvl 200 both with complete hunter gear, all legendary and p+5...

The only thing that seperates them is the extra stats from level and stuff.

Thats an extreme example, but i liek this idea, with so feedback systems in blood wars, its nice and refreshing to see somthing like this.

Random question Szeszej, are you ever likely to implement merging legendary and non-legendary items to form a non-legendary item? I'm pretty certain there would be a lot of love for that.

Over estimated themselevs, thats what happens. Calm yourself dude, just hope for it to be your xmas pressie Big Grin

Because new expo mobs going to take a while to create, take a while to reforge arena code for pure pvp, probually new creation if its ranked :S

So yea i dont mind waiting, will be EPIC when it gets here though lol

Szeszej, whats the current thoughts of the developers, is the arena going to be a weekend event or a once a day event?

Imo, once a day woud be much more fun!

read the BloodWars' Sixth Birthday! post;

'More August goodies:'

which means we would have them in august, otherwise it would say;

'More goodies to come:'

it says what it means and everyone interpreted it that way!!

I recon its very possable that its not even been started. Could of thought that they had the patch ready to go in aug, but things came up, only now has it been nailed down (even then theirs a few thigns they arnt sure about - ala searing blood)

Now that its done and dusted the devs can move onto all the other things:

New expo page
Ranked pvp arena
Solo expedition system (hopes)
Music(been on a 5 year long to do list)

But yea, im happy with what were getting, just looking forward to the future as always Big Grin

I'll admit, I did interpret it that way, but looking back now, "More August goodies" doesn't say the things were to be implemented in August... The goodies could have been the information that we received about the Patch ;P

More on-topic: Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy patch xD

Not liking the dodge on BoD though :/ The lowered penalties and the earlier activation was enough in my opinion, and I'm sure many will agree..

Rebalance of 2h weapons looks to be a complete failure. More precisely Katana getting one more attack on perfect +5. This makes Katana best 2h weapon type. Making katana best weapon type is completely illogical considering its not in top of merge list. Also giving 2h weapons potential for 2k+ more damage is a strange direction to go, since 2h weapons already seem to have highest potential

unless they are changing it from the polish patch to rebalance the rebalance post testing....

So does it mean, if lev 82 do slums it looks like that:
1lev 65-69 - 13 levels over
2lev 70-79 - 3 levs over
3lev 75-89 - no penalty
in total he/she will get 16% better chance to get rare item and 16% lowered chance for common (useless) enchant? Therefore in total 32% for better enchantment or what?

patch is up Smile

Either the description of the changes to Majesty is not correct or the game interface needs to be updated.

"Thoughtcatcher (UW only): Majesty is now capped at 10 pts. TC's remaining arcana now cost 10 BP (down from 12 BP)."

So far, I have verified that I can only use 10 pts of Majesty in ambushes, but the game lets me use more than 10 pts for AI in defense, koths, expos, and sieges.

That being said, even with AI in defense set to 12 pts of Majesty, it only let me use 10 pts when I actually got attacked. The GUI should be updated to limit Majesty here just like on the ambush page.

I hope the same is not true for koths and expos. Otherwise I will have lost 63% of the effect of my only racial arcana useful in koths and expos.

---

Edit: First koth done under new patch, and it lets me use full Majesty. So the description needs to be corrected to say that Majesty is capped at 10 pts for ambushes, and the AI in defense GUI needs to be corrected to enforce that limit.

The reaction nerf and ranged merge lineup :S

I can imagine a few people will be a peed about that on a lot of servers.

Well, Dryads only for attacks.
All it gives is a better chance to reach and extra HP - at the cost of a lot of crit.

Wolf is useless. 31 toughness at perfect... no need for that at all.
... maaaaybe FT could work it with his defence build, maybe. Even then, thats with insane once a year evos, which wernt planned originall, so what the hell were they thinking when they first made wolf?

Leaves reaction or dryad.... 20% crit chance or 30 rep.

With ranged having no dmg modifyer stat, theirs limited dmg boosts. Ranged crit modifyer is x3 which is really goodfactoring in the amount of attacks, but means that we have to crit to get good dmg out.
That means that although yes, were gain survivability we pretty much kill our damage output with Dryad. Losing 2-300 dmg a hit 20% of the time ..... ouch. A heck of a lot more loss for the higher levels if they are criting 1k+

So pretty much need to use reaction, or else we cant compete. Im not too fussed on the nerf.... perhaps it was too OP, i mean ... looking at some high level ranger expos its understandable how they can seem that way.

But they need to toally rework the other suffixs to make them at least viable .... give all ranged weapons a flat boost to crit AND take away the crit negative to leg. Then they can nerf the crap out of reaction, wont matter too much.

*sits in bin and cries*
