Patch Notes 18/02/2021

[Evilest]

- White RvR bags now contains two Invader crest shards or two royal crests shards if you have the Vanquisher or Invader tome unlocks

Awesome change!

Except if you actually put effort in getting your invader or sov gear. Which means now there'll be much more people with participation trophy level gear. And that lowbies will face hordes of people in sov.

Sov is already "participation" trophy kind of gear and it should be easier to obtain so people can catch up easier. Everyone has multiple alts with sov by now. Personaly I'd prefer horizontal progression instead of power creep.

I get the impression you wanted to disagree with my statement, yet you are in fact supporting it.

You promised to rework chosen and knight. Please tell us - when you plan to start? We are very much waiting:)

Chosen and Knight (the best tank in the game) are fine except stupid 20 sec cd on super punt (snb spec).

I like white bag change. Good work.

Nice patch. A lot of fixes and QoL improvements on Dungeons. Is the whisper on loading screen available for all zone changes? Since the same issue happens, for example, if you message someone on the Praag loading screen, iirc.

Lol ya, imagine. 3 white bags and the lazy bastards will get an entire medallion! Kids these days, they don't know what the real struggle of getting sov feels like.

Awesome changes all round, great great great PvE QoL, THANK YOU!

White bags have 2 crests but green and blue still only get 1 or did they all bags a +2 crests bump? .. oh.. never mind it's just shards...
Please also change fort to give crests after full invader as well, then people can convert down as needed.

Definitely a move in the right direction, crests rewards in my opinion should be closer to 30% ORvR, 30% Forts, 40% City, rather than now where it's 10% ORvR, 10% Fort and 80% City.

Then we are much less punished for not waking up 4AM in the morning to do City or playing something like WH.. lol.

Be careful of what you wish for.

It's impossible to make it worse, I think

They just turned Chosen worse in its last change... "Corruptive Power "

[Fenris78]

Nice QoL for dungeons indeed. Looked like many instances were pretty unreliable those last weeks (gunbad and Bastion mostly, but we ran into strange bugs as well into C&T).

I think there should be a small overhaul of C&T time to complete, like cutting off a bit of some minibosse's HP pool ; I'm thinking about "boring" minibosses that are only a timesink without much strategy/mechanics involved like Seraphine or the Banshee.

It will also help to get in par with BB/BE needed time to run, it's like 90-120min for Order for complete C&T run, and 30min less for BB/BE with 3 dps and same gear level/players involved.

Bastion however is fair since same area for both realms, but I still think some wings and minibosses are a bit unbalanced difficulty-wise ; some (mini-)bosses are very hard-hitters while others are barely doing any damage (while knowing all mechanics of course).

That or bosses are regularly messed-up by patches/fixes that got them doing insane damage (had BS first miniboss in right wing - the one with the two skulls doing dmg - nearly twoshotting invader/sov geared tanks), while they became ridiculously easy the next patch... Odd and a bit frustrating I must say.

You are wrong. Corruptive power is good tactic. You need just stack some crit. Its only last too short 5 sec. 10 sec will be fine.

Most people don't agree with you (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=43822). In addition, developers, as well as players, do not like the gameplay "turned on auras, gave guard and stay afk". Not to mention that in the DPS specialization, both of these classes are completely useless.

Knight is Orders best Warband Tank, let us hope that if there is a change it is only for the better. Way too few tanks being played on Order as is

[wargrimnir]

[18485] The spanner has its appearance back.

Boys can we have some actual legit "hidden appearance" items though? Engi barely even uses their melee weapon, shouldn't be an issue really
Or like hidden shoulders for choppa, hidden everything for slayer (well except pants )

No.
