3 months of summer and a Grab Bag
Posted: Aug 08, 2015 18:39Hello everyone,
3 months of summer is long, but a 4th grab bag helps it all !
1. Are you guys planning to implement the battlegrounds medal of valor quests from patch 1.60?
The battleground medal quests will be available. In addition, there are quests available for level 36-40 and 41-45 for the "merchant keeps", Caer Benowyc, Bledmeer Faste, and Dun Crauchon.
2. Are you going to keep the herald warmap on the uthgard website that shows the keeps being attacked with flames? Also will the warmap (/rw) be implemented that shows the keeps under attack in game? I dont think this feature existed during patch 1.65 but i didnt dig through the notes.
The realmwar map was not available in 1.65 but rather came with 1.70, New Frontiers. Due to system limitations, this in game map was not available in the original Uthgard. At this time, we are not spending development effort to alter this system which is already in place. The functionality of the herald version served to offer a general indication of action for those who wished to engage in keep warfare. The herald version of the realmwar map will remain.
3. What will timers be on charges / potions?
The timers on potions and charges vary by item. One way to find out is to check some of the alchemist guides online from the time period of patch 1.65. We will be keeping timers as they were of that time without customization. Be careful when looking through alchemy guides online as Mythic has some charge timers that change upon zoning (from 60 seconds to the default 180 seconds). The best way to find out what timers charges and potions use is to level an alchemist on the live servers and look through patch notes for any changes that might have been made to the charge you are interested in.
4. Will we be allowed to trade poisoned weapons since that was undoubtedly the way it was at 1.65?
Yes, we have also fixed a bug with poisons which will make this less effective for classes without the envenom skill.
5. Could you provide a list of all custom implementations you will have?
No unfortunately we cannot, however we are attempting to remove as many custom features from 1.0 as possible. The reason is partly that too much have changed since we closed for the revamp, and keeping track of all custom features changed/removed/intact has proven quite impossible to handle.
Have any questions for our next Grab Bag? Please share by either sending a private message to Trishin or posting here in our grab bag question submissions thread. All questions are saved and may be used in a later Grab Bag post.
Sincerely,
the Uthgard staff
p.s. Unfortunately a personal summer break delayed this grab bag quite a few weeks. I apologize for that.
