Today we did the following to improve the game until next week.



1. Homunculus Resetter, some people couldn't use it because of variable interference from another quest. This is updated, if you are on the list already, you still are so don't worry. Talk to the NPC again and it will clear your variable so you can do that other quest properly.
2. Release has a 5 second after cast delay. This is NOT intended to be permanent, it is a very harsh fix to a critical problem coming from exploits of the Book reading skill. We are working with development to seal this exploit and return release to its rapid fire deployment.

Many have noted that only lvl 1 has the 5 second delay.

That will be fixed everywhere next Tuesday. But for now we did a restart on the WoE maps, so on WoE maps both lvl 1 and 2 have a 5 second delay.
3. Fixed Gramps to accept your Assaulter reward. Just talk to him and you can go in.


Next week the loyalty of all those Homunculus that were on the list will get set to 1-2 feedings away from Loyal. Loyal them, talk to the NPC and the NPC will help you with the Stone of Sage to get back to the Evolution state.

Hopefully this will prevent people from abusing it for the time being. I won't be touching my warlock in the mean time though!
Fix didn't get implemented properly.

Now the question is "for how long will this be like that"? a week? a month? a year? is not permanent but it affects all warlocks in all servers... so at least we would like to know for how long do we have to wait... but since I bet you guys will ask for help to kRO and knowing how fast you guys can communicate and after seeing how professional you guys are I assume 6 months to 1 year perhaps? maybe I'll get surprised and it will take less...

At least give us a free reset for people who actually have their stats and skills set solely for this skill...

And thanks again for the heads up...

PS: Are you planning on compensate us for this change? you are taking away our no after cast delay for reading spellbook which was added on Balance Patch... and you are taking away after cast delay for release as well... so out of Balance Patch, we got the nerfs but not the buffs it seems...

You said that you would increase spawn of devil/angel this morning and try to remove the teleport and didn't implent it how lame took me 1h to hunt 6 crates :thumb: :lamb: :D :D ;) -_- :blaugh: :angry:

making the stuff drop at 100% from them or make angel/demon monsters work the same would make the quest doable in reasonable time instead just wasting our time ;)

+1 to this. Abuse something to all hell, ruin it for the server. It's what has to be done though until a proper fix can be conjured up.

release level 2 is untouched as of now, so the exploit is still effective.

I used to main a high wiz, pre-renewal. I main a wanderer right now. My warlock is on the back burner. Currently, I'm just completely screwed no matter which of those options I pick. Boy, aren't I blessed with making such great character selections...

Wow 5 seconds? Yes, please do give us an estimated scope of how long this "fix" will be active.
I'm not too worried about it, since my build does not rely on releases' spam-ability. However, this is a harsh shot to the many warlocks that use release in this way. =S

Don't get your hopes high lol... they don't even know how the game works to begin with...

Then again... some people say that ignorance might be a virtue?
