Warden Adjustment








Esthetic and Localization fixes:


"Wabbit Baton: The animation for the Wabbit Baton now displays properly in both the main and off-hand."
Skill: Free Will


Deleted unnecessary brackets „()“.
Description before adjustment:
Target is immune against Root and Slow effects for 10 seconds. ((This skill can be used even if you are in a state that doesn't allow you to cast spells.))
Description after adjustment:
Target is immune against Root and Slow effects for 10 seconds. (This skill can be used even if you are in a state that doesn't allow you to cast spells.)



Adjusted Item Shop item Fruit of Forgetting to solve the following problems:
1. When using Fruit of Forgetting, players with the secondary class champion or warlock get a notification that their class is 0.
2. When using Fruit of Forgetting, players with 2 or more classes but no equipment or secondary class active get a notification saying “you don’t have a secondary class yet! When you reach level 10 go to the Class Hall to obtain a secondary class!”. This has been changed into “You have no secondary class active.”



Fixes:




Corrected a problem during player registration for cross-server trial Windrunner Race. If not having sufficient Phirius token coins, repeatedly clicking on ‘confirm’ to register, a message saying ‘an option has already been selected’ was displayed in the conversation window. This message won't appear anymore.



Warden Adjustment:
1.The physical defense of summoning Spirit of the Oak has been increased from 20% to 65%.

Shadowpulse isn't fixed yet either? Still can't use it while in Shield Form on a Champ/Rogue. And don't even get me started on the Varanas Bridge transporter.

Hackman is still lvl 58, Wodjin is still lvl 57. Killed as soon as patch was over so not quite sure when the 'lvl 75' mob is supposed to spawn. Not sure if the lvl 75 ones are supposed to be up straight after a server reset (i.e. maint).

I think the normal versions would spawn after a maintenance/server reset and then after those are killed, there is a chance the higher version will appear, after an 8 hour downtime.

Not sure what the whole incentive for the lvl 75 version is, (HL gear?)

72 hours seems a bit too much.

The 72 hour wait for the regular on is really only going to affect lower level players. There are quest for these bosses, which lower level players have a hard enough time getting credit for due to high level players crushing these bosses in 8 sec or so when they spawn. This is just going to kill your player base, by alienating new players from remaining to replace any higher level players that leave.

A good way to help fix the game is revisit the honor party concept. If higher level players helped mid ranged players with these world boss quest, then the higher level players would get the items that could be traded for high level gear.

Agreed, and there is, in some cases, ways to bug a world boss so the spawn is next to nothing (learned this was common practice on another server), so we'll see how that plays out. Would this mean the TB bosses will have their respawns adjusted from 40min if the new version were to spawn?

Just feel like there could have been better adjustments/fixes implemented :\

Also, lol @ warden fix, briar shield AND pet pdef stack? With the way that pet buffs work now (if I understand correctly, and unintentional) wd/w is gonna be nasty in pvp.

For all the other warden that don't know, you'll see them crying "heal my pet!" or stopping to resummon after every pull.

So it took 6 weeks to change a skill from 20% to 65%? That's pitiful. And Wdn/W is still not fixed without the return of Will Attack. It's now like a Knight without Whirlwind Shield.

Well its nice to read the EU reaction to this patch. I suspect there will be some heavy editing going on over there.

Oh and quick edit, the new world boss thing screws everyone who has those quests, 72 hours to respawn? Really? I mean come on how are all those new dwarfs supposed to finish those. Ahhh the lack of foresight is just incredible.

There is one more - Briar Shield is no longer capped at lvl 50 (confirmed by me, just upgraded it to 54 :))

You troll sir/ma'am! And I would know. No way is the diamond NPC working :eek:

This may be the first event I ever do, just to get the PA title. Damn it.

Yes thanks for adding a event to world bosses, as it stands , I just spent the last 3 weeks checking Blind Hackman repeatedly wasting lots of transport runes for a boss that isn't ever there. Trying to complete quest for a character and its already farmed out of the "1" channel the map has on Artemis server

Yup my warlock still hasn't finished that, it just got much harder.

Oh and can someone confirm the diamond NPC is working? I have no intention of buying diamonds till we get real content, this will help!
