Monthly Development Update - September 2014

[Cyberleet]

Stat-wise, I looked at other OFAB shoulders, and the profession's tier 3 for most of the modifiers; hopefully they're not all universally panned.

At least you didn't apply that assaultdocstuff (nanocost/nanoinit) stuff on agent. h8 it passionatly.

And...put a grid entry in the antique shop.

Maybe make the guy by grid-term in bs-room deliver the BS-missions instead? ^^

on test they already moved ofabshop to bs-room

[Aiken]

While we're on the subject of the Antiques Shop....

Any chance we can change the Return To Bar portion of the Tarasque (and other) Dailies please?

I'm losing track of the amount of times i'm forgetting to turn those bloody things in by running all the way back to the store.

'twas just a thought

[Cyberleet]

Michi? hai. When is tower-wars and other pvp-changes coming? Can Unicorn Coordinator Magnum Blaine give out the pvp-missions? Can pvm-dailies, token-missions and bluebuff be delivered by legendary npc's (silverstone, supplymaster f.x) instead of new ones with absolutely no purpose or meaning? Can we get more stuff (rods, stimulants, towers, nanos, clusters/imps) in vp-shop? I am also not intrested in making pvm-twinks when the game is kite/ost/greens in inf/lootrights, or totw-bosses soloable by freeplayers. Tnx

PS
more pvm for 200-twinks would be pwn.

[Ciex]

Lvl 200 twinks have their own little apf and lvl 200 locked SL zone, thats quite a lot already.

Sadly, the new OFAB armors won't have visuals, like the others. Stat-wise, I looked at other OFAB shoulders, and the profession's tier 3 for most of the modifiers; hopefully they're not all universally panned.

MP shoulders look great, except that strength isn't useful to us except in a very narrow range of situations, and isn't useful for twinking because Merlin pads buff +15 instead of +12. Could we get Int rather than Strength? That'd be awesome! Even if not, they're still awesome, and a nice improvement for MPs who don't have Gauntlet pads. Thanks! Been wishing for OFAB pads forever.

so froobs cant do tower tagging or notum mines now?

[Teeko]

Michi, is there anything the community can do for you to help you achieve your objectives?

I'm particularly interested in this statement. Funcom has at their disposal all these players with a multitude of experience in various technology sectors, use it to your advantage! You could have website redesigns done by players all started by a simple forum post. All you guys have to do is ask, we are here and willing to help in mostly any way we can.

[Esssch]

Some actually do have a visual.

That's what he just said. Some pads do have visuals, these ones won't.

I just checked with a froob for an org mate and all I get are:

* I heard you're taking bets for the battlestation.
* I heard someone talking about avalon...
* Goodbye

Sure would be nice to have the mines and towers back for froobs.

[Psikie]

Chat should say something about " You have something easier" then u get miner/tower options

Only on paid toons now.

The current plan is to activate Halloween early next week. It'll run for at least 2 weeks.

I'll go post up the patch notes now.

Was the level requirement for the "easier" pvp : John Smith missions changed with this patch? I thought I remembered the level requirement being 10 or 11. My new lvl 11 froob was only given the option of a Battlestation mission or Avalon(?).

I seem to have dun' goofed. At some point, I suppose when XP rewards were stripped from the lesser PvP missions, they were made to be Subscriber-only, as froobs/sloobs would have no need for VP. The XP rewards have been re-added, but this expansion requirement was not removed.

It was an oversight that has just been corrected internally, and will arrive with the next Live patch.

Creation weapons are not primarily 1hb skilled so they cant use 1hb skill perks. If im not mistaken to use weapon skill perks a weapon must 51% or greater in that skill.

Michi- Great job on the update

If you'd like another quick fix that would probably be a win for anyone with a 200+ toon, take a look at this suggestion to change the Warden Ystanes dialog.
