Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

This patch lived up to every single expectation I had for it, lots of bugs with no idea how/when they will be fixed. Ultimately because we are all learning the new mechanics and all melee characters will be replacing weapons it's probably the best time to come back to the game, closer to a level playing field.
The good:
Some of the new skills seem pretty fun/adds to the game playFree stuff? I honestly would put this in both good and bad categories as it completely breaks Foolproof economy and the need to do certain end game quests at all but it also was necessary because of having to replace all your weapons.
The bad/ugly:
Added a lot of confusion particularly for casual gamers(no that's not me, I have wasted way too much of my life on this and other games...) The weapon conversions were kind of smoke and mirrors, they didn't actually convert anywhere close to the maximum for weapons Increased the number of junk weapons in the loot (400 wields are garbage now but still in tier 7 mob profile + MFK chests, they didn't scale like 420s did and that was intentional) - - Sheer number of weapons that will have to be considered (now 21 1handed weapon types, all viable instead of 7 with only some being viable)
Major bugs or intentionally poorly converted weapons - - Having a weapon buffed prior to the patch or tinked 1 time sometimes resulted in "uber" weapons, ie weapon damage that is beyond possible even under the new maximum.
- - Top damage UA and axe weapons converted to unusable stats. Axes went from 30-50 to .50-50 dmg, and if it was tinked you probably didn't use nearly enough granite to compensate for that.
- - UA converted to around 10-36 when the new maximum is 25-44 for light UA, which when you compare to Sword being only 2(?) points below it's absolute max after conversion is absolutely silly.
- - Missile weapons that you apply certain slayer properties to become un-wieldable due to a bug checking for a non existent Bow or Xbow skill. Certain quest weapons no longer self buff for the same reason.

I should have added a few additional positives about the patch:
- Races are now balanced/everyone gets lore racially, a much needed change
- Bow is now 2 credits cheaper both to train and spec which opens up template combinations
- Missile/Magic/2handed combat are largely unchanged other than getting damage boosts. They were the only people not broken/losing quest weapons or the damage rating for being forced into an off spec weapon. I wish I could have said that about all melee classes but then there wouldn't be any negatives for this patch!

Good points Kurp.
I haven't had much time to test everything out myself. But it was cool to log on the other night to the marketplace full of people:) So the increase in activity is nice.
