Note to the community from the developers:
We are reviewing and collecting your feedback on various drop data daily. The development team is constantly going over ways to improve the drop system and experience of gameplay while keeping to the design intended.
The intentions behind the changes to the drop design is something we have a strong desire to preserve for the core of gameplay design.
We felt items and player power was too easily obtained, resulting in a lessened feeling of accomplishment and worth. With the difficulty that comes with acquiring certain items and stats, comes a much bigger sense of satisfaction when such items are obtained. As with any change there is always a time for adjustment, but once the markets adapt to the changes we believe this new drop system will be much more rewarding.
The feedback we receive may not affect the immediate next patch because there are several factors we take into consideration amongst the numerous topics of feedback. We do our best to review it with the objective of solving the issue with compromise to the drop systems design.
We appreciate the feedback as the drop system will continue to evolve and appreciate your help and patience in its evolution.

From the feedback we've made the following changes that were larger points of feedback we incorporated into the drop design and made allowances and adjustments to the design standards to help cater to these ideas.

• Increased the rate of Catalysts and Chemicals once again, especially for leaders and higher class monsters.
• Removed the chance for no drop from King types.
• Yellow Equipment will no longer drop from monsters beyond level 100 for Leader types and higher and 150 and higher for basic monsters.

Topics we're still working on:

• Materials missing from the drop table required for some crafting
• Materials that are too frequent
• Materials unsuitable for level range
• Materials that are felt to not belong in certain areas
• Frequency and range of Chemicals and Catalysts

[NamirBarades]

An impressive patch. Will there still be a patch tomorrow then?

[iBryan]

Not a bad patch i guess, there's a first step to everything.


But we need to do something about game content/gameplay soon it's one of the main concerns to those who are already geared and ready to enjoy the rest of the game.

[dreadfull]

i like the patch cannot wait to play, good efforts team.^^

[CamiLove]

Great patch!!
Thanks so much dev team, I'm looking forward to more patches like this one.

[gEddeh]

On a side note: Nice changes to the website! Except for 1 small thing:



I don't know about you guys but I've never been in a party with 7 people

Maybe we can turn this into one of the suggestions, increase the amount of people that are able to join a party up to like 8 people.

So if we link 5 accounts, each account gets 100 points?

Good stuff mostly but please please please work on the drop system on orlo soon(I hope the increase in lisents included orlo this time?). We've been waiting over 2 months now...literally with nothing to do but chase silly eggs.


My addition to the pile: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix the Gem Cutting failure rate for Sapphire, Ruby, Garnet, Emerald, Topaz and Peridot going to 6th and 7th grade. Diamond could use a bit of a reduction too...my crafter has 1188 con...there shouldn't be nearly as much failure as I'm getting now.(did something change with v328?) Much too high failure rate to the point where nobody wants to craft them any more. It often costs more to craft including failures then you can make back selling.

Can you clarify what "Increased the respawn timer for some bosses in Orlo" mean?

Does it mean increase the time on the timer so that bosses will take longer to spawn?

[CastanhoBR]

I gotta read something, if too many accounts are created just to getting points, that will be banned.

And here my question, not rellated about the mall.
Whay can't i update at the launcher? why still server down? :X

Yessir.



It's good to hear notes on the drop system but can we also get any word from the following?:

• Epic Weapon Stats and equipment stats in general
• Anti Magic Shell debuff
• Armor Set bonuses

[bluehell]

We are still currently under maintenance. Right now maintenance will be at least another hour.

may i ask why you guys started at 3pm instead of 1 if it was going to be this long of a maitenance?

[CastanhoBR]

Whhy not a button called "Update!" At the launcher? grr

[LordAlbion]

I truly hope this counts as THE weekly maint. I want my darn wings!!

[jagz]

Not bad, happy to get the heads up on the dev team evaluating the feedback.

Maybe sometime this year you can give arti's something to craft again.

Yessir.

Hope those bosses only refer to Desert Scavenger Pack Leaders. So may I request the development team provide an updated drop table after the patch, now that bosses always drop something. Thank you.

[Acrylia]

wow 5 hr maint thats jus awsome!

[EmoCutt]

This will be our only good patch this year
