i like these

-Life steal, life/mana per hit/kill now have a higher effectiveness in catacombs

- Drop qualities have been increased

- Can now change equipment during combat
^-----this now makes these very useful



Magical steelwood staff
Level Req: 45
Damage: 55 to 148

+24% Mana Syphon


Magical spiderthread robe
Level Req: 55
Physical Defense: 0 to 21
Magical Defense: 28 to 84

+25% Mana Syphon


- Mobs now have a chance to drop items higher than their level. This bonus increases with group size.

this sounds cool

- PvP is now real time, and player position specific
PvP is divided into 10 level rooms, for instance, levels 1-10 are in room 1, 11-20 in room 2, etc.
Up to 10 people can duel at a time per room!
Dueling is now HC safe, there are no deaths in PvP, only knock-outs.
You must be next to your opponent to hit them (use the WASD or arrow keys to move)
Melee requires that you are immediately next to your opponent (not diagonal!)
Casting allows you to be 3 squares away in a straight line (not diagonal!)

Casters didnt get OP, they got a nerf. Read it carefully bud, there is no more random AOE hits, you can control when to hit AOE, and your casting SLOWS down based on the number of mobs on the screen.

I'd say it's a nerf for the OP casters, but a buff for the average joe.

being able to AOE anytime is not a boost to you?
how much slower is casting tho really?
have you pklated it yet??
so much for my 100% solo climb in arena i assume that has been removed?

Yep I hate how arena is totally gone....

i was just starting to really enjoy it.....
guess ill try rocking out the solo cata maybe

Casting was overpowered before this update by a long shot. Casting an AOE on command now rather than random based off proficiency is better for everyone; it keeps the high rollers in check by forcing them to cast SLOWER, and it also allows the new guy to try it if he wants. Before if you didn't have a certain proficiency there was really no point to casting unless you solo'd.

Yes, I tried it earlier, still not sure what to think, but I think as far as casting goes this will help balance an area that needed it. I am sad to see the Arena go, but let's face it, we all saw this coming at some point, this game has been slowly heading into the WoW-esque genre for a while now, far from the solo game it used to be. (no solo, team arrangements, farming skills/profs, exploration, etc)


Next thing to come will be some epic boss and we will have to p2p.

meh seems like its not even working right anyways atm too many bugs.

3 User(s) are reading this topic (0 Guests and 0 Anonymous): Tr3vor, Joker_Master, jlhromeo

Yup I noticed that this morning, it's more like a beta than an official release anyway. He had 3 people test it, that's not nearly enough to discover all the bugs that can happen when you have hundreds of testers/players. The next week or two hopefully will get things ironed out, I am exited for it but I also dislike a few things, but that happens EVERY release.

Also replied to your PM

So, both arena and the well have been removed? Fantastic!
