Patch Notes, Saturday, October 30th

[Uthgaard]

In from launch.

Q: Does a ranger ever get to critical hit? I am able to critcal with the bow occasionally, but never with my 1hs/2hs.
A: Ranger's can only get critical hits with a bow. A higher DEX will increase the chance of getting a critical hit, and a higher STR will increase the amount of damage that it does.

Nice find, Uth. Thank you for saving us from people with poor memories. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You know readin all this dialogue with words like 'overpowered' and 'nerf' being thrown out, only one thing comes to my mind, and I can't believe for the life of me nobody else has mentioned -- Mages. That's right. Mages are MORBIDLY and DISGUSTINGLY overpowered. If anyone, or anything is overpowered and needs a nerf, it's mages. Not monks. Not rangers. MAGES NEED TO BE NERFED.

-Mages are why your mobs are always camped.
-Mages are why your loot is always being farmed.
-Mages are why you aren't getting any experience tonight, beacuse there are NO MOBS IN SIGHT, beacuse they are overpowered, and can kill mobs they shoulden't be able to
-Mages are why there is an "imbalancement" in this project...

Oh, heheh, shucks, this isn't the R&F section....but I just took nearly 10 minutes droning on like this....I can't just delete it. Sorry, Heheheh.....

....Mages are also the reason why EVERYBODY but ME has an overpowered character they can go and fight and easilly solo a mob that is red to them, beacuse it is 3 or 4 levels higher than them, and get half a level worth of experience for....I don't have a character like this, AND IT'S NOT FAIR.

Wrong - If it was not mages, it would be necros. If not necros, some other class or group or guild that wants what is there and can camp it.

-Mages are why your loot is always being farmed.

Very wrong. Farmers, farm loot. People who want it just for themselves, do not farm it over and over. How freaking boring is that. Farmers find a way to farm it, no matter what, with what class they can. If they can't use a mage or necro, or whatever, then their left hand is now their "girlfriend" and they box it. Hmmm, maybe it always has been their girlfriend. Nm.

You arent getting any exp tonight, because you are sitting here reading this.

If it weren't mages, it would be some other class.

Mages need to have a few nerfs. I agree on this point. Overpowered? Sometimes. Mage pets always could do somethings even players couldn't

I am interested in this:

Q: Do rangers ever learn to track their corpse or the corpse of other player characters?
A: You can track other character corpses only if they are in your group, and they have died while your in the same zone. Their corpse will stay on your tracking until they zone back in.

It seems fairly worthless considering the conditions.

Bards are usually your best bet for corpse tracking since their song refreshes every tic and they autoface the direction of your corpse. Also there is no limit to this song, if the corpse is in the zone the bard can find it. Did I mention it's a level 1 song?

Also they can get to your corpse and drag it back to you in less time than it will take for you to find a necro that actually has the spell Summon Corpse.

It's totally worthless as a skill but I've yet to encounter it. I guess it's the "GY" filter in the track settings, but that doesn't work. Funny that it's even a skill, though.

Poo, was hoping for Ring of The Dead quest fix. Saw a 'The Dead' faction update and got all excited.
