  • We have made some server adjustments to Adventure Zone maps to help combat lag and rubberbanding.

User Interface
  • Item Level is now more prominent on item tooltips.

    So you fixed the rubberbanding, but have you guys fixed the fact that mobs still 1 shot everyone. Like... always?

    Also - the Tiamat change is great. But has Tiamat even been completed yet this mod?

    The only groups completing these are going with all SW's and CW's and bugging the living <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> out of it... I am going to go out on a limb and say this has less than a 0.0000000000001% chance to be completed. Mystra has been granting a **** load of power to turn back the weave this mod.

    Doable he says... I haven't heard of a PUG succeeding, and probably wouldn't believe it without say... a dozen videos of it being completed with a PUG. Nice to see minor fixes trickling in. The game is still borked, but I'll at least pop in for the next couple of weeks to see if you've gotten around to the really important stuff.

    so... what is geas usable for now?

    you made a skill that is of zero use, in all circumstances as a capstone power.

    fine.. in fact just dump it , I would like another and better aoe dps skill or a better short range aoe heal instead.

    someone really needs to relook at DC, this whole mod 6 work was a pretty unremarkable set back on the whole for the class.

    tiamat isnt doable by any group that isnt cheating.. which is <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.

    I made a long thread about having it done legit wise.. which has been ignored. it will never be done non cheat until its gated differently.

    In case you dont know yet tiamat has been done more than once already, with no cheat just good players with brains.
    And pugs aren't suppose to be able to beat the "supposely" hardest boss in-game.

    and how are you gating poeple out? even timed instances are getting mixes.. just because of the small amount of people entering. It doesnt take brains, it takes the ability for the group to achieve the 60% arp. the mobs are still easy enough..

    Items and Economy

    [*][*]Lifedrinker Weapon: No longer incorrectly stacks multiple times."

    Hey, first off thanks for the work Panderus. I know we all get upset when changes are not fixed imemdiately and I get it, different people working on different things.

    Many of us just get VERY upset when there are other issues that it seems you guys pick and choose what to fix and when...

    Like Life Drinker for instance, clearly not WAI with multi stacking... But what about other enchants like Vorpal for instance?

    The Pure and Trans Vorpal versions are NOT working correctly and NOT providing the extra 2% buff/debuff.

    What is happening is the Pure version actually DEBUFFS your OWN character.

    Would sure be nice to have an answer or a quick fix on that one?

    Or the TransFeytouhced enchant.
    Issue 1) Its doing the AoE correctly but then its giving the wearer 3x 18% damage bonus from that AoE. Shouldnt it only be 18% MAX? With a 20 second uptime this seems not WAI or just incredibly bad oversight on the DEV part making an enchant THAT good.

    Issue 2) If you stand in Hallowed Ground for instance it ends up DEBUFFING your damage to next to nothing, so it clearly has some weird interaction with other powers as well. Maybe its time to revisit the coding and change something there...

    Id honestly suggest just removing the AoE since prior versions seemed to work fine. The fact it is a 20 second uptime is more than a buff and this removed the "multiproc" issue. Its still FAR better than most other enchants - especially ones that DONT even work properly.....


    Then you have things like Elven Battle that people claim are NOT working as intended and NOT shortening duration of control effects - or maybe its that the control effect is somehow BYPASSING this control resist? who knows?


    Its just all these types of issues that SEEM you guys pick and choose what to fix and what not to fix when this stuff is ALL very important.

    Was lifedrinker bugged? sure its strong but if your going to start fixing enchants why not make sure they all work as intended so we can actualyl USE some of them.... Right now Trans Fey is bugged its over powered in some and nerfed your own damage sometimes, Vorpal bugged and DEBUFFS your damage, and now you fix lifedrinker? What are we supposed to use? Perfect Enchants and NOT upgrade them?

    Thanks!

    I think the issue is how easy it is to replicate the problem. He already has said they are having problems replicating vorp/fey. Probably affects elven battle too as half the people say its working and half don't.

    Lifedrinker is mad easy to replicate also pretty much once it was figured out everyone jumped on it. Just look at all the BiS in PvP, all of sudden you see them with trans life, takin advantage of those stacks.

    I am actually glad they are fixing these things as quick as they are. First bloodtheft,now lifedrinker. Heck these would have taken 4 months to fix a few mods ago

    in fact, there are bugs I would put higher priority than the ones you mention. Why should hallowed ground take priority over SW "0" damage bug, etc Mod 6 was a pandora box of bugs and it is going to take awhile to get them sorted. Most of the peps have taken a break from making/buying trans enchants until they finish these fixes.

    Lol, I can't believe that there were daily/encounter powers persisting forever. When I saw their animation randomly playing with no players around, I should have suspected it, but I thought it was just the devs recycling the animation for whatever reason. Arcane sing was one I saw often with no source.

    There is, therefore they were actually lagging those maps. Hope most of the lags are resolved by now. :D

    Yeah...I spend a lot of time organising legit runs (read no geas) for t2 dungeons and we do not run that party comp. The people who think it is the most efficient are deluding themselves, you want 1 heal (dc/OP) 1 tank (gf/op) 1 wizard, 1 gwf/tr and then an optional slot for either a dps or, if you got a dc, then a heal OP.
