The content rate now is amazing - big ups for it ..

 

BUT ... (there's always a but .. LOL)

 

Can we have new master realm(s) again please.

 

Now we've content to 1900, but the highest "portal in" is Level 1821.

 

Is there anyway of adding a new master realm for previous content when you add new content ? (just to stop me bugging you ;))


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

I'll get that sorted as soon as I can. Just need to get a hold of some art resources and write up the MR area description.

Grim you know Pard is never going to stop with the master realm thing, right? :P

 

Just give us a functional teleport buff and you'll never have this problem again. *nudge nudge*

LOL! And today - highest level on the ladder is still 1881. Nobody jumped on this to be first to 1900 on the day of release - changed days!! (I am sure that will happen soon enough!) Those of us with longer memories will remember the 100 level content release with a double XP and recall that it got blown through, so I know that people are waiting for the as yet unannounced double XP event to catch up with new content. But for now, I will enjoy seeing the breathing space at the top.


Good-bye and hello, as always.

Did this batch get any common item drops. I still have 0 common fragments, and unable to do any inventing.

You could always farm for some common fragments at lower levels!

Dunno about the 1876-1900 batch, but the 1800-1825 and 1826-1850 definately didn't and I've seen no sign so far in the 1851-1875  ...

Or they could put common items back into new content. (if they haven't already)

We've had several pretty definitive "No"s to common items in the higher levels. And that change did come from player feedback. I can't see them changing their position.

 

Having got down to 2 common fragments, I'm just taking the attitude that sooner or later (and hopefully its later) there is going to be a lull in the new content and I'll be glad to have farming fragments with which to use up my stam for a bit.

There wasnt really any player feedback. This change was done when I was discussing with hoof about content production. It was in the same thread, where I recommended 25 levels per content. I made an argument that common items no longer have any use after level 1000 or so. And frankly, with current buffs thats probably true for nearly all levels.

I have seen grim post responses similar to "this is the decision we made, and thats that". This was done to easy content production. I find it very unfair that HCS is short-handing its most dedicated player base.
Easy solution: 1 common item for each 25 levels of content, dont have to change stats or level or image. Just something we can break down.

There was a lot of feedback asking us to remove the common items as they cluttered up the backpack. We actioned that feedback. We will not be putting common items back in. I MIGHT consider adding a single common item per update, using recycled art.

Yes yes yes yes yes!!

Do it do it do it do it do it!!

I'd probably just drop doubler entirely for whichever level that common was at and hunt a full level 1 creep at a time if you did.

 

THAT is how awesome this would be.
