Thread: Monthly Development Update - March 2015 (Winds of Change~)

    Gore, it would indeed be very nice, but not likely to happen since one could then save a lot of ip by not raising skills like treatment etc since you might already have those alpha symbs on etc etc etc.

    Red is clearly superior. There's no contest.

    Wait, so now you do want MPs using pistols? Can we get some sort of official statement for what weapon lines we'll continue to receive support for in the future? We've been bounced around 1hb/2hb/pistol/bow for too long. I mean, we don't even have a 2hb perkline besides CoHI, so is 2hb support over now that shields are going 1hb?

    It can be done and I can postulate how already but it depends all on coding support.

    Personal opinion: Time to let 2hb go. Switch the 2hb in the stellar nano-deck to something else (AAD, multi-melee, or multi-ranged would be good options, or both multi-melee and multi-range) and the 2hb in the ofab gloves to Multi-Melee, change Jealousy 2,5 and 9 from 2hb to something else (1hb, multi-melee, even brawl or fast attack would be cool). Change Pistol, 1hb, Bow, Multi-Melee and Multi-Ranged skills from dark blue to light blue (or even light green). Four weapon lines is just too many to be viable long term. I've been a 2hb MP for years, but 1hb was already clearly better 1-214, and now it's better 215-220. Doesn't make sense to waste equipment and LE research support on a weapon line that is simply inferior. The lower IP cost for weapons is getting a bit greedy, but things are getting a bit tight on IP now. MPs will need at minimum 2 dark blue skills (1hb and multi-melee), and most options will require more (bow, flingshot and AS, or pistol, Multi-Ranged, burst and fling, or 1hb, Multi-Melee, brawl and fast attack). Having all weapon skills dark blue is pretty rough.

    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    Until next time, have a great April, everyone!
    Remember when silirron said that class rebalance and the new engine were coming soon? Good times.

    I personally can't wait for the Battlestation changes!! Going to be fun wrecking old friends and teaming with 'enemies'. Any update on the potential perk condensing for keepers? I know the system wasn't really having it at the first go. Can't wait to see the proc changes and if any profs got more useful ones!! Wonderful update.

    Trypants.
    Setup.
    One bright day in the middle of the night,
    Two dead boys got up to fight.
    Back to back they faced each other,
    Drew their swords, and Shot each other.
    A deaf policeman heard the noise,
    He came and killed those two dead boys.
    If you don't believe this lie is true... ask the Blind Man, He saw it too.

    For the BS changes anyone know if you'll be able to pick sides (similar to neuts now?) or will you be auto assigned to blue or red?

    Awesome changes. I cant wait to see the improvements on mp pet, thank you. Will touch of poison still work for the +30 poison dmg?

    My engi is going to love the extra pistol skill thanks.

    Sword of Dusk anyone? love the idea of sabers on my keeper.

    Kinda intrigued to see what prof changes come next too. Looking forward for everything to hit live.

    Is it possible to dupe current chars to test to try these changes out?

  12. #52
    Please PLEASE have full patch notes posted for all things that hit Live, not all of us keep up with the chaos that are test note tinkering/changes/revisions/diddling.

    Having a nice full comprehensive list of what is actually patched to live be super duper great.

    Thanks^

    They've never accumulated in the past, sadly, but I wouldn't mind gaining an additional fIPR.

    You can't do a full IPR while you remain equipped, even if FC has an evolutionary twinking algorithm that sets your spent IP at perfect levels to achieve (through some form of magic and voodoo) what you have equipped, you should have to do it yourself.

    So, MP and crat pets had thier timer removed and became permanent, thus voiding the "Engie pets are forever, thats whay you have such high reqs!" argument.
    Now MP pets are being made more powerfull, thus voiding the "But your pets are WAY Stronger!" Argument that MP's and crats switched to after timer removal...

    How about dropping 200 points off the engie 220 pet cast reqs for us now that theres absolutely NO reason that Engies should have to swap gear around to cast.

    It's not the engi pet cast reqs I wouldn't mind seeing nerfed, it's the pet BUFF reqs

    Is it all mp pets that are getting its damage adjusted or just one with a lvl req of 220? MPs still have to suffer 220 dings on crappy weak pets (comparatively lvl for lvl pet/char) with the other sl pets being weak and crap. I'm not be against reducing cast times and skill reqs for the lvl locked pets for engie but feel its important not to assume all pets get the rihwen update.

    So..when is the next patch for testlive?

  20. #60
    You know I have to give credit. Watching people getting bent outta shape over 18.7 and the new engine is still just as much fun today as it was when these things were first announced. Except now I can get a chuckle out of both sides of the coin.
