Return of Reckoning

Yeh, you had a really tough life, we get it.

Stop talking about the past and maybe think before you speak. Things should be debatable and open for feedback, as the rules indicate: we are not players but testers. As a tester, I´ve had a look at the new patch and it looks solid. Now some people have said that instead of "thinking" that the new patch increases crest gains, instead its now lowered. Which I guess wasn´t the initial aim of this patch. Hence some people are "crying" about it.

It´s about listening to your community and from what I´ve seen so far, MOST comments have been praising towards the implementation of the shard system. Yet, I reckon alot of those people, if they´ve played yesterday, will have noticed that the droprate is barely noticable which makes lowering city instance gains seem as a nerf.

Really nice patch.

Hopefully, it will bring back a little bit of roaming.

Thanks.

just asking, was this kind of keep upgrade stuff available on live ?

Yes, for a while. But it was removed in a later version.

There was a couple more upgrades available on live, some which we are planning to add. But we will likely also add more of our own upgrades.

A lot of complaints for progression stem from RNG on top of all classes are not created equal when it comes to being wanted in city.

Lets face it RNG sucks. This is why we have quests for pve so if you get unlucky after X amount of runs you still get your gear. It is the best pve system I have seen in any game in terms of progression. Yet our end game gear is still locked behind part RNG with no alternative. It is like doing live PVE all over again where you waste hours of your life to get 0 gear for weeks on end. If you get unlucky on when city happens plus not getting in or just happen to play a class that no one wants because you are not meta for city WB it takes the wind out of your sail and makes you feel like you wasted hours to get nothing in return. Or if you get a string of losses and get very minimal rewards for weeks on end it puts a bad taste in players mouths and they take a break or quit.

I don't see why we don't have weekly quests for RvR and cut out this RNG crap. It takes roughly 400 royals or so to get a full sov set. Not sure what the expected time frame was for someone to get full sov, but a weekly quest would go a long way to give players a sense of progression if they happen to miss city after city or are playing a class that is not the meta for city.
The quest would be Something like a weekly quest that requires 200 kills and rewards 10 royals and get rid of the RNG shard nonsense requirement to take the quest would be the invader tok unlock. If you happen to get unlucky for city or bags you can still get your sov set in 40 weeks. IMO we should have quests for all medals that are reasonable to always give the player a sense of making progress.

nice to know, great job.

Walking around with Sov now means you really get hunted for shards by some players. I better wear t1 again, it's saver.

I like getting rewarded with royals by doing open rvr in bags and now with kills. It's not much but feels rewarding and motivates also more going for all zones.

Nice patch, hope you fix the missing Sniper's Shoota Of Anathema and the Sentry's Shoota Of Anathema quickly. I already put in on bugtracker but was wondering if other Squigherders are missing these items as well.

” Stalwart Soulstone no longer decays.

- Both Stalwart Soulstone and talismans bought with it can now be stacked, maximum stack size - 40.”

Kind regards

Stalwart Soulstone is item that you get from dungeon quest - with it you can buy epic talismans. Now both this item and epic talismans (except ones that give crit - those will be stackable after next patch) can be stacked up to 40, as normal ones - previously they were 1 item for 1 inventory slot.

Ah, thx mate

I like the patch tho maybe abit higher drop chance on shards, and I do miss the Healer in keeps wich I find is a bad change. other then that great work
