Patch Notes 26/07/2024

[Tyrex2017]

My point of view about this rings event : good idea about event, but terrible in the realization.
Whit the 2 pve + 150 kill, you should be able to unlock first stage. But no, you need to to do scenario plagued by premades vs pugs. And the discordand q is irrelevant because others scenarios pop first. The game dont have any more the critical number of players for to give a chance in scenario as solo. So , i have 100+ both box and crate, i ll sell it and i ll buy rings from auctionner. I give up for to unlock first stage profession.

We have had 24 aoe for 8 years? Don't seem right, but then again i am old and time fly's

If I remember correctly, they rolled out that change around 2016-17. I was still in highschool at that time...

Bro I feel old too.

i was 18 when bought original in 2008 : D Feels insane almost that ive played this from first day of Live(no beta) to last, and 2014 or when RoR began i was just so happy to be able to jump around in just game that looked like Warhammer Online Age Of Reckoning <3 Aoe cap was changed in 2019-2020 im pretty sure?

I found the OG patch notes, and yes it is 2019.

So actually it only took them about 5 years, my bad

Barriers in scens particularly serps passage suck. You are now forced to walk out of a barrier to get insta killed by people camping the spawn with no way to fight back. Whilst premades can cope its simply awful for anyone pugging.

so if in this year u will not have money to upgreade to max level than u can trow out it. its will be useless

Can we get confirmation if this is a bug or working as intended?

dont know if its work as intend or bug, maby just code change. byt normaly when u whant bue some item what require some ather piece of armor/weapon/item open special window for it and ask u to agree with it (press check in box) byt for previous year event ring purple 40lv has nothing like that.
dont whant spend 500g+ to check if its works or not.

It would be great to get some clarification from the team on this so we know if it's worth creating a ring now, with the chance to upgrade it next year, or if we have to start from scratch each year. May as well just hold on to the materials if it's the latter.

Rubius posted this on discord regarding upgrading old rings. It would be nice if the devs posted on the forums as well as these things can get lost on discord.

A couple people reached out who bought expired (no tali slot) event rings from last year and wanted to upgrade them. (The event requires you to use the 30-day versions to upgrade.)

We'll be adding in some new vendors in the next patch (likely on or around the 14th) that will allow players to upgrade expired level 40 event rings to the next tier. The events ends soon after, so wanted to spread the word now for anyone this will help so you can gather needed mats

"The change from 9 to 24 was intended to make it easier to bust zergs, but to a large degree it has instead also made it more difficult for well organized warbands to face zergs. Many other things has also changed since then, so we are trying out a change back down to the original target cap of 9."

I hope they change it back to 24. Playing as PUG warband leader this is extremely painful to play against - we lose any advantage we would have had and now they just stomp us painfully. Not really fun anymore when we lose the one advantage we had...not everyone is super organized but if they keep losing ppl just start leaving.

That doesnt make sense. Basically you said that when lesser numbers are well organized they manage to win vs bigger numbers of unorganized ppl. So that is the intended effect of the change. That is the good thing that should happens, not numbers always to prevail.
