Patch Notes v463

Easter Event
It's that time of year again, where bunnies bounce and everyone is out to hunt down those elusively hidden Easter Eggs. It's not all fun and games this year though, as many Easter Eggs are being stolen by those pesky Porkies who seem to have something devious in mind for the Visitors. Speak to [Mayor] Darren to find out more and watch the mysterious plot unfold before your very eyes...it's going to drive you mad if you don't!

Also, during our Easter Event, we will be running a refine event too! +5% Success Rates to refine attempts, starting today. We will let it run through at least, the Easter Event period and announce the ending for a future maintenance period.

Easter Event begins March 29 and ends April 21.
The Refine Event begins today after maintenance and it will be announced when it will end.

Game Arena
The Premium "early access" period has ended for Draconis Peaks - the game mode can now be accessed by all players!
Increased level of all monsters in Cave of Ulverick and Halls of Oblivion dungeons by 5 levels.
Increased reward for destroying a Teiwaz Fragment from 3 Valor to 5 Valor within Sea of Dawn (210-240).

New Conversion Items
Added to Valor and Honor shops, you now have the option to convert Valor or Honor points in to Energy.
Also new to the Valor and Honor shops are a means to convert Honor and Valor in to one another.
(In the future, the purchase of these items will automatically consume them and convert the points/energy from the cost. For now, we apologize but you will need to 'consume' them for the time being)

Drop Changes
To make a long story short, Oblivion Temple (B2) has been given Demon Metal, which was recently discovered to not be naturally dropping in-game.

The long story, Oblivion Temple (B3) & (B4) shared the same zone drops, and (B2) contained drops that were unique to that area only. To ensure that all the drops were to remain possible to obtain, (B2)'s drops were shifted to (B3) and (B2) was given the Demon Metal tier of material drops.

Interesting but I have to give you my negative feedback;

All maps of Luna and Junon with be necessary for.. nothing? since there are no good drops, then the game turn even more and more around OT and Orlo.
About Draconis Peaks, can you explain more, I'm still a bit confused about.

Draconis Peaks
Is being opened to the public!

Highlight of the post.

Since you can queue a PvP and PvM game arena simultaneously, I'm not sure if you can queue two PvP game (both Draconis Peaks and Crystal Defender), but if you can't queue both together, we can pretty much see only 1 of the 2 will survive, and in this case Draconis Peaks will prevail because it is new, people will incline to queue the new one and leave the old one.

currently we can queue all quests in the pvm section and also pvp so i hope its possible to queue 2 pvp games at the same time (fingers crossed)

and yes for a week or so ppl will favour the egg hunt thing, but after this ppl will return to wanting to kill ea other in a close zone instead of running around like headless chickens.

Perfect for Easter dragon egg hunt eh? LOL

I see what you did there.

It's possible to queue for queue for both PvP game modes, and all three of the PvM dungeons at the same time. We're looking into improving the confirmation stage when accepting a request to join a game so that if there aren't enough players after the 30 second confirmation period, it will place everyone back into the queue without affecting any other games that were queued for.

[Gojio]

While you're working on the Valor Shop, how about lowering the prices for the Hearts from 30 to 10 points each?

[Cloudius]

While you're working on the Valor Shop, how about lowering the prices for the Hearts from 30 to 10 points each?

And add dirty ores: earth, wind, fire, and water as well as dirty stones: earth, wind, fire, light and crystal.

[Leonis]

Not all items are going to be purchasable. We still want some items to be hunted for.

Since when is OT not part of Junon though?

Patch Notes have been updated. Check out the first post to see what's in today's maintenance!

[AlanShires]

COU AND SOD QUESTS!!!! YAAAAAAY!!!!!
Also, VALOR TO HONOR CONVERSION YAAAAY!!! us PVMers can finally get some of the treats from the honor shops ='D!!!

Quick question Leonis: Things like Valor and honor, would it not be an idea to make them account bound opposed to character bound? because once the NPC item has been bought it can go too and from each character (and accounts) as we feel fit. It bugs me because I have 2000V on character A and 700 on character B, It would just be better if we could maybe swap it between characters so it would be 2700 (Overall). I know a few people have 5k on like more then once character which is fine, my idea is that we can swap it between characters optionally not mandatory.

Also, daily boxes for premium The items are better but if your opening these on a 230 and getting an EXP medal why cant it be account bound opposed to character bound? Its a shame to make things useless especially when some of the items (such as chest content) is trade-able.

LOVE YOU GUYS!

[Genesis]

Things like Valor and honor, would it not be an idea to make them account bound opposed to character bound?

That would be entirely too easy (especially for Valor), considering you can complete all of the daily quests and dungeons on each character and end up with close to max Valor in a single day. The currencies are character bound by nature, and these items are not intended to change that.

Edited by Genesis, 28 March 2013 - 12:36 PM.

[pdfisher]

I agree, the honor and valor points should be character bound. It would be nice though if the items from the daily boxex, i.e. 2xp and 2x drop medals, would be account bound rather than character bound. I have premium on the account, not just the character.

Good point, Why not make the quests daily per account then? (people could still do the quests 8 items a day if they have all 8 character slots in use)

Least you half agree with me how do I not have you on my friends list in game btw?

Edited by AlanShires, 28 March 2013 - 12:45 PM.

The GA quests are daily for each account.

You do have me on ur fl.

[AlanShires]

Is it? hmmm maybe the energy bar should be per account too then not just per character.

You do have me on ur fl.

Oh my just looked at your signature how is it I didn't realize after all these months that your Pam!!!

[pdfisher]

Umm, cause your a nub?

[limzz]

Is it? hmmm maybe the energy bar should be per account too then not just per character.

wouldn't that be the same as keep it char bound makes no sense to me haha why make it acc bound when its the same as char bound then? You'll earn more on having it char bound

[pdfisher]

You know, i think I am incorrect. I do believe the daily GA quests are per character, not per account. Would appreciate if someone in the know could verify or deny that.

[EmoCutt]

Also new to the Valor and Honor shops are a means to convert Honor and Valor in to one another.

omg please tell me this doesnt mean i can turn 5k valor into 5k honor... o.o

[limzz]

omg please tell me this doesnt mean i can turn 5k valor into 5k honor... o.o

I hope not, cus that would be sick... Cus its like 100billiontimes easier to get valor than honor

[EmoCutt]

And i would be out billions. legit. :I
