Hi there everyone!
 
Today we are releasing 8 new Crystalline sets in the Arena. These are inventible sets using items from the Arena as well as Super Elite drops. The recipes themselves are available from the Arena Rewards page.
 
We look forward to your feedback on these new sets.
 
Note: All items used in these recipes have been removed from the Auction House and returned to their sellers.
 
Additionally, the spread of Arena Tournament has been increased, with more tournaments overall at more level ranges! 
 
The cap on Combat Sets has also been increased to 200.
 
Finally, the following issues have been fixed:
 
  • White page for Top PvP Smasher.
  • Relic Depowerment works correctly.
  • Log History Filter buttons now work correctly.
 
~ The Fallen Sword Team

Big thanks to Arioche and the team.

 

It feels like the game is being looked after again and hope to see more of the same!

Thanks for the update HCs ❤
Though did you change duration between rounds to 2 mins instead of 10 mins?

Hello Cow,

 

Thank you for the update and the fixes. Really appreciate your work.

 

I wanted to mention that the Level 2325 Set (Bali) is currently Defense/Armor and that I think that set would be more interesting if it included one of Attack or Damage (in exchange for one of Defense or Armor).

 

Defense/Armor sets are very situational and I feel like people would use it more if it had a different combination of stats.

Hey Grim,

 

Is there any avenue for revising the sets ? Having checked the combinations that can be built with the 4350 and 4600 set, Attack Armor would be more useful for PvP. The sets are not focused on damage so probably wont be used for hunting. 

 

For context, to compete with armor setups at this level range you need to be using level 800 buffs from a donation chest to compete with someone using the Shield Wall 500 which is a LE potion or potions in Crystal Ladder chest.

Afraid not Sidd. People have already bought the recipes and whatnot. These will be of use to some players but not others. As it stands, there is an even number of damage and armour sets in those ranges. As is always the case at end of content, there's plenty of room for future sets. This will be seen going forward. (After all, I'd like to update other odds and ends, such as the Chompers and so on and so forth.)

Hey Grim,

 


We look forward to your feedback on these new sets.

 

Thank you for listening to our feedback. While we understand there is always room to make new sets in the future, I don't believe that sounds like a good reason to leave new content (which is hard to come by) not being "viable" off the bat

I for one would be more encouraged to use the Bali set (2325) if it had a different stat combination. As it stands, it looks like a big investment (items used in recipe + success rate being low) for a set that will be situational at best.

 

I would also like to bring attention to the 160 Durability on the items. It would be nice if they could have 300 Durability as we have seen in the past for Arena and PvP Invented sets.

At the same time, I appreciate your time explaining your reasoning and can live with it staying the way it is.

I went and bought the recipes to see what can be made, 

 

Level 2675 Jelani Set, same slots/stats as 2575 feathered chomper set, only 100 levels apart.

 

Level 3675 Mentu Set, almost exactly the same as the 3650 Sisters set, same slots and stat distribution. I really think the secondary stat here should be armor instead of defence, this would make it an ideal repalacement for the level 2725 Selachi set, otherwise I don't see the need for the same setup 25 levels apart.

 

I agree with sidd about 4350/4600 sets having armor instead of damage, it has been mentioned in other threads about the lack of Attack/Armor options and this would be a good opportunity in patching that disparity somewhat.

Ah, that's a good shout. I'm more than happy to boost these to 300 durability now.

One thing is this will not effect any already made! Once this change occurs, those of you who have invented them already can contact Support. We'll ask you to destroy the items and we'll replace em. I will add this to the news post.

Yup, that's where we're going with this. Extra info for the future is useful.

Thank you for the detailed response!

 

Feedback I can provide if it helps with future sets; even though there may be an equal distribution of sets, the item slots must not be optimal because for players at EOC which should be level 5K soon, for attack armor setups we are mostly using sets between level 3K-4K. Sometimes we even need to use the Longgui set for more armor which is between level 2K-3K. 

 

Please let us know if you would be interested in player(s) complied evidence about this with context about its effectiveness.

Sure! More information is always welcome. I have my own document full of all the sets, with item and stat placement which I use to try and ensure minimal overlap in some cases and deliberate in others.

Was hoping to see some more armor attack sets to fill in the large lack thereof throughout a massive range.

Hey Grim,

 

It is interesting to hear that you actually have some level of tracking on sets, their gear slots, levels and stat distribution. At the same time, we continue to stress the following:

1- New sets are very close to other sets in stat distribution + slots used in in their level range
2- New sets being releases with unpopular stats distributions often (Armor/Defense)

I don't see how you can make the oversights mentioned when you have this data available to you. These are also not isolated instances. I hope that gear slots, stat distribution and level range are things that have some more thinking involved going forward.

 

Ah, that's a good shout. I'm more than happy to boost these to 300 durability now.

 

Very much appreciated! Happy to hear you've also noted the feedback mentioned in the thread for the future.

Is the "All" filter working for anyone? Mine is giving a blank page.
