Whats in the pipeline at the moment?

[ziiid]

Hey team,

I know you all are busy working away which is awesome, thought if I could ask for whats currently in the pipeline? I know new spells were mid to late july and I am stoked for those! But maybe just a simple list?

purely as an example:
-working on fixing graphical gliches
-tweaking xx spells
-tweaking xx items
-changing the exp in xx kind of way

I personally enjoy seeing updates (even at the expense of it taking a few more days to finish an update, keeps me excited if I know its coming)

I know you have been busy with bugs and botters and cheaters etc

/ZiiiD

This weekend is bug fixes and adjustments to some things to try balance the server.

I want to get the server into a good place before adding new spells and items.

kinda seems like the same response over and over and yet still the most unbalanced server iv played not inducing archer class kinda losing hope every single update is losing players by the looks of things.

It is the same response because it is what I am working on. The reason things take longer then you all want stuff to be done is because I have to spend time dealing with bots and cheats, replying to the 50+ PMs I get a day, replying to all the Facebook messages that I receive, replying to 95% of the threads in the forum. All this while working on the server adding updates every 2 weeks. Trying to keep all classes happy while being moaned at and abused daily.

In fairness I do not know any server that has someone so active, replying to issues and working on the server.

What more do you want 1 man to do.

Because fixing bugs and class balance is never ending, fact there doing these weekly is a good thing is it not ?

Your doing a good job in replying and all that stuff but the server has just gone down hill and that's not your fault at all... seems like everything is pushed/blamed on you cause your the guy to reply to everyone just the server suxs now drops have been depressing for a long time class's get way to many changes and some class's aren't even worth playing on here.

Guess il log on from time to time to see whats changed and whats been done but seems like every high end boss is pointless killing if we can get more from WT/EC/KS and many would agree and there is many that wont because TKO have some items.. but thats to be expected but the drops are defo ****ed that's for sure.

Also that hell cave is abit of a joke making it level 45 when the exp is daft after 44... the logical thing would have made it 44 and i thought that would have been very clear with most of the people on top 25 are banned or inactive the cave is used by about 8 people max whats the point in updates that are used by 1-5% of the player-base makes no sense at all just most things don't seem thought out at all.

I have said I am looking at drops again and am working on a system to that high end boss will drop at least one item per kill (it seems you all want an easy server to play)

I have also said I am looking into the exp from 44 to 45 and rmthat it will be adjusted to make it easier for players to level. Hell cave was always advertised as a level 45+ cave the other 2 caves (that everyone seems to have forgotten where added in the same update) where designed so that players can spend time in them leveling, they both drop lots of pots and players can stay there for hours on end leveling. Exp from 44-45 will be adjusted in the next reboot along with a good few wizard spells and a number of other things.

These are all things I have posted about many times in many different threads this week.

Personally i dont think bots are the worst thing in the world (im totally gunna get called a bot now/ or a customer lol, which btw im neither).

They boost Usercount, and they sell gold which could lead to people continuing to play, Im not saying leave them, i realise its a problem, but im saying they are a lower priority than getting the game to a place where people enjoy their chars and hunts.

That being said, i do realise the amount of people who will be pissed of with people "paying to win". But unfortunatly, like you have said with previous posts on other threads, its an on going issue that most likley will never go away.

What about samuels seems you do all the work??

If you played official servers and you still think this I would guess you are looking through rose tinted glasses. Official servers were far from balanced.

It appears that way because BH is the face of all the work being done, Sam is steadily working behind the scenes coding.

its not low tier bosses like DD and omaking - its the high end bosses which require hours upon hours to kill, and its not tko moaning for the change.

Woooo buffed spells and exp change great update well done

Woooo buffed spells and exp change great update well done

Have you worked out what your new level will be?

 

[evilwomann]

Roughly yeah, depending on
How they change haha good times :P

 

[terriblen]

why do people keep asking for details about whats next? Isn't it enough that things are obviously visible happening before your very eyes and someone keeps replying to all the nagging, whining, and sometimes useful posts?
Sometime ago BH said there was gonna be a weekly newsletter thing to shut people up. May I respectfully suggest a list of things that are on the ToDo list. Then you can sticky it, lock it, and update when something is done by putting a line through the completed items with a date.

After testing this anyone over 45 will not change level at all.

The way the cap was done in the exp table means that exp needed for levels was just all moved into level 44-45.

When I adjust it and move the cap to 50 it just moves the required exp around but the total exp needed from 44-50 is still the same.

I hope that makes sense
