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.

And no, Decal is NOT up yet.
So when the game comes back up, post what you find here. Sounds like this is gonna be an exciting patch day, so lets get into the spirit.
Anyone have the patch notes they can post? How about teaser pictures, someone have the links to those?

April Release Notes
Greetings and welcome to the April Release Notes! This month we bring you a special update to the game, which includes new features and the first of several new playable races coming to Asheron’s Call! Through the use of Lifestone magic, some Shadows are now able to bind to Lifestones. Will they be accepted into life on Dereth? Let’s see what else is new and exciting in Asheron’s Call this month!
Updated Content and Functionality
Through much time and research, the Arcanum has found a way to harness the power of Aetheria. Make sure you Speak to Cypher the Apprentice in Xarabydun. You can read more about this system here!
Barbers have moved into some of the towns of Dereth. In the mood for a new cut? Make sure you stop by and see one of the many skilled stylists for a new look! Read here for more information.
The Shadows are here! Shadows are now a playable race! You can choose from two different races of Shadow. Find out more about how this all came to be by reading a special backstory written by former AC Dev Orion, and can check out the lore and the Teaser Video here!
The wedding NPCs no longer collect things but will still trade house hookable objects in return for one. There is also a new NPC who rewards those who helped collect the items.
Tailoring is now in the game! You can now move the appearance from one piece of armor onto another piece of the same type that has better stats! Read more about Tailoring here!
Some changes have been made to clothing and armor.
•Under character options, players will now find a toggle for show/hide helmet.
•All pants now cover the abdomen. Shirts will no longer cover the abdomen.
•Leather shorts now only cover the abdomen.
•Long leather gloves now only cover the hands.
•The ability to reduce multi-slot pieces down to just one piece has been added to the game.You can read more about this new feature here!
The Crystalline Crag has been changed to prevent players from bouncing up into an area they should not be in.
Players creating a new character will notice they have a large number of new hairstyles to choose from.
Players will no longer need to have a scroll bar to view the eighth pack slot in their inventory, while in most resolutions.
Some changes have been made to the Rares system. They are as follows:
•There are now only 6 tiers and the later tiers have had their drop rates significantly changed.
•Tier 1 and 2 stayed the same except for the rare potions, which have been moved down to Tier 2
•Tier 3 is the same except the potions were removed from this tier
•Tier 4 is armor
•Tier 5 stayed the same and is eternal rares gems/dyes/salvage
•Tier 6 is weapons
You can read more about these changes here!
The quest journal file is no longer saved with page number information. Players adding pages to their journal files and sharing journal pages will no longer have to manually renumber information in the journal file. Old journal files can still be read into the game, but the game will remove the page number information when the journal is rewritten.
The issues with set pieces/set spells (removing pieces then logging in and having different level of the set active on the player) should be fixed.
Loot should no longer spawn with Racial Requirements. Pieces that would have racial requirements are instead generated as “exceptional†pieces that have lower Arcane Lore requirements.
Known Issues
•When first opened, the Barber shows randomized features rather than showing a character’s current set of features.
•Show/Hide Helm starts as the Hide option on existing characters.
•When chain casting spells the sigil particles can fail to show up on the player.
•The set used on Armor Rares is currently casting the Strength Set Spell instead of the Endurance Set Spell as it was intended.
•Some quest clothing covers old slots and may not be compatible with looted pants.
•The Arcanum turn-in merchant is the same NPC who sends you on the quest to lwarn about Aetheria. He has forgotten to tell players that he can do this, but he will remember in the next update.
•Some Lugians show Tusker as their race when examined.Adittionally Empyreans may show up as Phyntos Wasps and Tumeroks could show as Mites when ID'd.
So there are just some of the things coming to Asheron's Call in April. Please remember that along with everything listed here, there are several new quests and exciting things going into the game for the April Event.

If you participated in building the wedding chapel, but DID NOT give more than 2 individual items, you will not get the handy dandy epic bracelets next to the reward NPC.
I was not here for the Wedding Chapel building so I know nothing about this nor can I confirm or deny this statement.
