p.s. crystalline is a tough one. My suggestion would be give it the lowest weighting possible and even swap it out every couple of weeks with crystalline from the last batch. *shrugs*


For crystalline not to stall we need UB200 removed from the game again. As it is I have my Takeos set and will never need to buy a new one for me, or my guild.

you need to remember, for crystalline to be in demand, it needs to be useful. If there's no demand/use peopel won't want to use it. There's only a very small number of people who will use most of the crystalline sets which are more pvp orientated than anything else. Takeos/Volkers are in demand because they are useful for what the bulk of the players do. Hunt.

Should crystalline take damage in the arena, this could also keep it flowing.

some more clover to chew on.


Takeos is in demand right now because it is useful, I agree - and the others much less so. However, eventually everyone who wants a Takeos set will have one, especially with guild tagging. Unless durability is lost somewhere - I don't care where - then those arenas stall too. The effect is delayed a bit because more people level up than play 600+ arenas, but not by too long.

I do think the arena should cause durability loss - I mean you are still hitting things with the weapons!

Grim,

Could you do us all a favor and stop spawning so many GD move tourneys? Seems like those have bloated themselves lately. Additionally, all the legendary sets are awesome - I just wish boar tusks spawned more often...

Finally, anyone seen the svanhildas set bonus?!? NINE HUNDRED TWENTY ARMOR ON A LEVEL 125 2 ITEM SET?!? WTF? Overpowered, much? Forest Cat, a level 375 armor set, doesn't have that much bonus total, much less in a single stat.

Please reconsider UB200 for the sake of the arena - I love the new sets both for their usefulness and the artwork, so help us out!


That's what Forn and I are trying to convince the Boss-Monkey to do.

I'm up for that. I'll ask Hoofmaster to look at that on Monday.

Move Tournies? What's stalling?

Fixed. That was a case of one digit too many hit when inputting the set bonus and not noticing.

*Edit*

Forgot to say that all the Recipe Tournies have had their weights reduced.

Thanks for getting back to us BG.

take the number of components needed to invent an item with them as X

If X is 5 ( for bhaltairs, ormarrs, brices, i don´t know about arthafels, bothilds and maeves) then those should spawn more frequently than if X is 2 ( most of the new ones seem to have 2 arena components which is perfect).

Crystallines : bring back the last batch into equation: Spawn Crystallines. And have the spawn factor for crystallines reduced a lot. Bring Back Volkers ( and maybe Polar eventually too).

UB200 will kill market for crysts very fast.

Also why not have a "AH-scout" build it into the arena mechanism?

Quick analyze of the sets I know something abot ( at this point set bonuses are mainly unknown to me)

Takeo: great hunting set, clean attack damage. Kills Brices and Ormarrs a bit as hunt sets ( but they are still great sets)

Yojimbo : nice with clean 2 stats def/dam. But it competes in levels with loads of def sets. Helm takes Tsuki slot...

Livias: if Shindrak is using it I think it must be good cause shindrak beats me all the time :oops:

For ARMOR sets arena-wise would be darn nice to see 2-stats sets ( and items too). armor/damage or att/arm. And HP is essential to armor in arena, I only know stone troll has HP of anything new that has been designed lately. Devka is the only clean armor/damage set I know of.


( idea for UB200 solution to avoid all the complaints that will come : cap it at 5-10 potions , refund Tokens to those that have gotten them)

Well, we can't remove them from players who have bought them but I want them removed from the Loyalty page. There was a reason I removed them 5 months ago.

Added Tournies for the Fire Stone of Bothild.

shouldn't Legendary > Crystal?

AH, ALMOST FORGOT. something that bugs the poo out of me, not sure if i can be fixed or not. Most of the new items show up in the inventing screen as "recipe of " while WW, Cuirass, most other recipes just show up as the item name. hard to find what you're looking for sometimes.

I have no idea Mate. I've been concentrating solely on the Arena (plus my days off). I don't know where Sword is for Content.
