Patch Notes 10/06/2024

Hammer for my engi finally fixed? Pls get rid of these dumb carrer-restrictions again. Or at least give crests bag when change stuff after years.

But it does make me wonder, if removing deaths will not make it harder for GMs to easily spot the few times a year were one or two players try to killtrade and killboard would easily set off an alarm for this unintented progression and rulebreaking. Hopefully the RoR team still have tools to detect and uphold the rules for killtrading where Killboard seemed like a very easy way to spot the lawbreakers.

It's likely just a change in the BE-endpoint, so the FE doesn't receive the deaths anymore. Anything else would be overkill and it's also doubtful they'd take the route via the killboard to detect killtrading, when you can set up your alaraming-tools with direct access to the database.

Nice bugfixes across the board, one question as to Choppa / Slayer Detaunt though:

Will detaunt exhaust rage with the tactic slotted, after the next hotfix regarding said tactic? From my understanding this will not be the case, but i just want to make sure.

Killboard getting addressed in some way is long overdue imho, i am all for the changes. If it actually impacts player mentality in a positive way, will have to be seen though. I fear the damage might already be done, but definetly a step in the right direction.

Personally i would remove the killcounter as well, but the outcry would probably be enormous and it would also immediately remove weekly and monthly player / guild statistics as a consequence (something i personally wouldn't mind )

Nice bugfixing and very good to hide death count in killboard !
Now everyone can enjoy the game and get fun fighting desperate battles, instead of kiting forever to keep their precious KDR...

You are all so fixated with the KDR and not once with the meaning besides that ? Not Die'ing is a possible valid tactic to create advantage on the battlefield.

has no one of you played any Teamsports to a level were routes or "running lanes" only existed to draw defenders away or plays to create doubles (depending on the sport) to create space for others ?
A kiting (add any class) that draws multiple attackers following him while not die'ing is the exact same analogy in this game.


I can just say i dont like the extremes .... people who do not care for their "lives" ignore an important Tool to play with and making it harder for everyone else, same with people who care too much and try to avoid ANY risk.

overall i understand where this change is coming from but it feels like "dumb it down" for me. Personally i think it will not change the behaviour of the KDR fanatics, they simply will use addons to track it. While at the same time gives the illusion that death's dont matter ...

but they do to a certain degree.

When hotfixed the tactic will ensure rage is kept on using detaunt as well just as it was prior to patch

Woop woop, congratulations and gratitude

Cheers for clarifying, personally i liked it when detaunt exhausted rage "through" the tactic, used it in one of my 2H builds on choppa when that still was a thing.

But since that was never intented in the first place by the look of things, i am glad i got to enjoy it for at least a little bit x)

Honestly I think that this fixation for the Killboard is silly. Ppl that care about KDR used to care long before the devs introduced the Killboard and they will continue to care as long as they play. Ppl that think that not showing KDR on Killboard will magically solve the problem (whatever problem they think needs to be solved) are way too naive. Competitivity is a fundamental feature of every PvP game and there is no change to the Killboard that will change that.

When will Lion pet get fix?

[hogun]

I don't know who put it in your head that you could have a good idea by "fixing" the “killboard”.

1 - those who don't like to die still won't like to die, I speak from experience. I have a KDR solo of 148 - 2, that makes me happy, I love being a rock like a IronBreaker in the lore!which doesn't stop me from leading the dammaz kron almost every night in a casual way.
2- you've turned a stats tool into an ad to display only DPS player names, what's the objectif ?
3- a statistics tool is interesting for those who like it. if I see a DPS with 100 kills it's not the same thing as seeing a DPS with 100 kills and 1000 deaths. it's a tool.
4- you choose to emphasize DPS and ignore the pleasure of other classes that don't kill, but protect, survive and heal .....a very strange choice, is there only one type of player you're interested in?

But who put this nonsense in your head??? players who die too often? or players frustrated to have seen a friend leave and abandon them to survive ?

please look at it pragmatically, in which PVP game is a KDR harmful and for who can it be?
