In Testing Additions

The following has been published to the US Test Server on November 27th:

Guardians in the Elven Forest can no longer be resurrected.

New Player zone monsters were rebalanced. Some of the monsters were slightly weakened and their ability to inflict poison has been reduced

Siege interval has been extended from 2 days to 4 days. In accordance with this change, castle income has been decreased by 40%.

COI delay has been adjusted. (6 seconds)

The pledge storage and individual storage have been split up on the storage keeper dialogue box.

Giant Soldier Ant and Giant Ant have been added to the polymorph list.

Added the Forgotten Island, a high level hunting area. Enabled the ticket seller NPC 'Isvall' near the Heine wharf.

Added a storage keeper inside the Orc Fortress.

Added weapon/armor enchanters to every castle hallway. Castle pledge members benefit from these NPCs without having to pay service charge.

Fixed a bug with Blob item creation. Blob consumption time was increased from 20 to 120 seconds to give players additional time for creating items before the Blob would eat them.

Curse spell's attack range has been extended to 2 cells (spaces). In addition, alignment penalty has been lowered as much as the below table shows. 'Weapon Break' is now a chaotic spell and it has alignment penalty.

Alignment penalty:

"curse: poison"
"curse blind"
"weapon break"
"curse: paralyze"
"darkness"
"weakness"
"disease" align= -300
align= -400
align= -600
align= -2000
align= -800
align= -1000
align= -1000

As for the delay when coming out of 'invisibility', the only ways to undo the spell are: to detect oneself, to be detected, to be attacked or attack or restart. There is nothing here that requires a delay and the same options still apply to the CoI: If you want to 'pop' out of CoI and not face a delay, use detect. Or use the CoI bug. Otherwise, wait.

NC keeps on killing the game. Oh sure its nice with new places to hunt, but whats the point when they ruin the "basic" game. Same goes with the "cute" addons like enchanters in castles etc...
Coi just got useless, 6 sec is way too much. Old 3 sec wait on it was good, but no..

COI going to drop atleast to 2mil.i mean whats the main reason people use coi for?basically use it to attack people when there busy(in siege and while hunting)now when u see that pker pop out of coi u can get about 4 good hits in before he/she can even fight back.coi well now be really used for one reason.and thats to run away.so thats why the price well drop.its now just a life saver, cant use it in combat no more.

thats just my 2 cents.

P.S should have sold it for 4mil when u had the chance *wink*

right now coi delay for swining is around 1s
but coi delay for picking up items is 4s

this 4s was from a pervious update when they said they changed coi speed

so when they say they will change it to 6s.. i'm assuming that it will be only the delay for picking up items...

so coi and swing will probably not be affected

coi will still be 5mil...
as long as the ppl who r SELLING it stand with that price
it will be a helpful hand for FI in escaping
if I remember correctly about FI
The east part of the island is easier mops where they won't see through coi
but the west part is the tough mops where mops like de and drakes r
coi will be the great way to escape the island when u're low on pots
hope LC gets a map of whole FI....so we can start mapping out our hunts hehe
I would check it out myself
but don't got a lvl 46 char on test....>_<

I anticipate that since blobs dont eat items so quickly then prices of making yumi will be lowered to about 100k and rapier will be 50k.

Unless greedy ppl will charge just the same rates, low lvl elves will finally be able to afford yumi and not just that but it will be impossible to fail to make elven items unless of course b/c of lag outs.

Storage menu splits will help newbs who sometimes place their 'good' items unaware of which storage they placed it in thus losing it to their greedy pledgemates who might take & keep it.

theperv why would a newbie want a yumi? best bow for newbie = hunter bow or xbow coz of the hit bonus.. hunter bow is cheaper tjo so its best newbie choice.
making elven items wasnt that hard actually... unless one just didnt know how to feed items to blob.. now its almost completely fool proof so even if u feed one ingredient at a time u still got time to end blob be4 it digests ur stuff.

Let's hope that the Lesser Succubus Queen was one of the monsters that was weakened. On a Level 9 Prince, -4x AC and a +7 sword, I couldn't defeat it with 80 Red Potions. I ended up having to use Blessed Orange Potions to defeat her, and all I got for it was the Sing Island Amulet, which is not tranferrable, and can't be stored, meaning you have to keep it forever, or trash it. Furthermore, the Lesser Succubus Queen's ranged attack can do over 80 damage in 1 hit, which is more than most Mages and Princes have at that Level.

I love the new Siege intervals, but did they really need to cut the taxes? Especially since the Orc Fortress is already so worthless. You'd think they'd fix it on our servers by now. I like the update on the Blob too.

I really think they should add storage NPCs to Pledge houses. That would really save players alot of time, especially to those who have houses far away from town square.

#07 Amen to that.
#37 Unfortunately, most people play more often than you.

Good work on making NC aware of your plans of getting out of COI fast. Now they'll fix the bugs for sure, and probably make it so you can't detect yourself.

No matter what they do, what changes are made, there are gonna be a ton of folks that will moan, piss and cry about them. Personally, the coi change for picking up items is a good thing...too many folks out there that like to steal stuff out of coi...lol

Admittedly the c-p lawful points are rather rough, but they can be dealt with if you play smart.

FI will rock...no doubt about that!

Having the npc's in the castles will make more folks interested in siegeing perhaps.

And coi prices dropping?....don't hold your breath....lol

Folks...Aden is a world in chaos...and chaos means that what you think you know may not be what is from one day to the next. So look at the changes as just a part of the storyline, and get on with it and have some fun instead of crying about every little thing!
