Can we get info and previews on T3 please?

[Tesq]

xrealm is a conseguence, aao show us that it's bit better now.

currency need to be easier to get , as the rvr sets are the base of rvr equip, no rvr set --> no premade play.

when i mean easier i dont mean free currency rather than different way or always present way o gain them.

Separate issues IMO.

1. Cost of Gear
2. Xrealming

Solving #2 will make #1 irrelevant. Question is, how to solve #2 in a FTP game.

X realming is not the problem.

I'd like to see what gear/weapons we'll have in T3 for rvr and scenarios. How much will the gear/ weapons cost? Stats on all that? Whats the soft cap for stats? Whats the level cap? Whats the renown cap? When's T3 (if you have any estimate)?


Also gear and weapon looks?

who gives a ****, have you never played this game before or something?

T4 or it doesnt **** matter.

Some people didn't played before, there are many completely new players to war online on this server. Some people give a **** like you say.

T1, 2, 3, and 4 does all matters, depending on who you are. And in a more general view of it, it matter for the balance and stability of the game all in all from many point of view.

And last, don't think like your opinion on the matter is the only one and is absolute. If you can't think otherwise, then please learn to formulate your sentences and ideas politely without agressing someone on what they have done or not before answering to other players without informations on their background before hand.

To be fair the lower tiers really don't matter, and are never relevant or recycled into end game content and really only serve as a tutorial and time gate for newer players / rerolling alts.

aha.

In order:

1. Devastator will be in. I'm working on Tracker and Stalker at the moment. All available sets will work, however the 5-piece passive abilities granted by Devastator are not implemented yet. That's an Aza job, and it's relatively low priority. Ditto for passive abilities on influence weapons.
2. Whatever they end up costing? We'll probably end up having an internal discussion (read: Aza/Dana tells me to do it) on prices, whether we should give fused emblems, etc. Pricing doesn't matter as much to me when the best-in-slot gear is still level-appropriate purple gear. In other words, if the level cap is 29, and the influence weapons are purple level 29 weapons, the SC grind matters less.
3. Here.
4. 1050 at level 40. Some give diminishing returns. You want the formulas? The code is publicly available, I'm not doing the math for each level.
5. Currently, 26. As more stuff is finished, the cap will be increased.
6. See 5.
7. "Soon." When the lag is fixed. Probably within the next month. Maybe.

Odd that you guys hate "clever" comments but seem to post them very frequently.

1. Don't understand how it's low priority when you're supposedly done with T3 and moving on to T4? T3 gear should be done before you start T4.
2. I think players would like to know since you guys are keeping scenarios a grind even though it makes no sense. Went from 12 to 22 purely from scenarios and couldn't afford the weapon.
3. The Dev gear in game is different from that in the link.
4. Soft cap at whatever player level you guys cap T3 at.
5. Level cap when T3 is released?
6. Renown cap when T3 is released?
7. Why when lag is fixed? I don't understand, we're lagging now just as we would be lagging if T3 is open. I'm not too much in a rush, just grinding scenarios with the witch elf, huge pain in the.

Because as he quite clearly told you before you attempted to tell us what we should do, it's not his department. I handle the combat code, and passive buffs come under the combat code. Unless you'd prefer he sit around doing nothing, then yes, he should begin work on T4 content if he has nothing else to do.

Same as how when I have nothing I can progress with, I implement T3 and T4-level abilities and buffs.

It's low priority to me because I have actual ingame QoL concerns to deal with. I'm not bothered about future content at the moment, and I'm especially not bothered about RvR sets, given how they screw up RvR even more when they're implemented.

2. I think players would like to know since you guys are keeping scenarios a grind even though it makes no sense. Went from 12 to 22 purely from scenarios and couldn't afford the weapon.

That was a decision made by a long-term member of staff, not by a relatively new DB staff member. I'm choosing to change it, anyway.

7. Why when lag is fixed? I don't understand, we're lagging now just as we would be lagging if T3 is open. I'm not too much in a rush, just grinding scenarios with the witch elf, huge pain in the.

Because T3 will attract more players and require increasing the player cap. If the issue is not strictly related to the number of players in one place, and is instead linked to memory usage or the number of open connections by the server, opening T3 would ruin it.

I have to admit I understood #1.

Usually I've only noticed it lag like crazy when its a bunch of players in one spot. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Like I said I'm not in a hurry since I'm on that grind.

Would be cool if you could answer the rest, including amount of Scenario emblems needed. I think that type of info would make a cool dev diary.

[Azarael]

The ones that I didn't answer have no answer, if you know what I mean. They're not decided.

True. How many players enjoy T1 rvr/SCs and how many players just rush in to T2 zone and exp as fast as possible to hit 26lvl endgame?
