Old RA

Bad news here I am afraid. Due to a major setback in the way they were being implemented, we are basically back to start regarding the implementation of old RAs. We will of course look into getting these fixed as soon as possible however please do not ask for a release date soon. To be a bit more detailed we had some issues with old RAs overriding our current RAs which was not intended. Also we want to make both, the old and new RA's coexist in code, so if it doesnt work out as thought, there would be a fallback possible. On top of that Nayru, the main developer of the RA's, is currently quite busy in RL.

This of course is still high priority for us! At the same time you also notice that Uthgard is plagued by old annoying bugs which most of you want to have fixed too. So we have to keep a good balance which is not easy sometimes.


Buffshears

Will be implemented as they were in 1.69 when we revert to this patchsetting. No custom solutions will be made. Until then do not expect a bugfix regarding this issue. Yes, this means damage components on shears too. If any player has a good source of the damage output on shears, please support us with this information.

These are horrible news.
First one means we are stuck with bugs that WILL NOT BE FIXED because they are bugs that are related to current RA setting.
Second means that we are stuck with imbalanced shears (cleric range advantage) until old RA's are released, and when they do get released we get a horrible system that favors 2 realms while making the third one gimped.

The 30 minute stat cap potion sounds like a truly awful idea, requiring everyone who runs in a group to be overcapped by 30 (Goodbye existing\Less expensive templates) on incoming.

"LF RvR"

"Do you have cap pot and overcap 30 dex?"

"Well, no."

"sorry no invite for you"

The cap pots would be mostly useless for soloers; unless they want to just pump one stat to the extreme; but most would rather spend their 2 buffs on say Dex and Dex\Qui. As someone posted earlier, all this benefits for solo players is solo rangers, who already have a Dex buff.

They pop Dex\Qui pot and Stat cap pot, Rangers are now ahead of 90% of other soloers.

And as I mentioned; 8man groups will start requiring stat cap pots to be used on incoming. Alchemy as a money-making device is already a massive and popular market; any decent player will still have 2 buffs on at all times despite the new 2 buff cap (Which is a great idea, thank you.) But you say capping it at 2 buffs is to lower the bar to enter RvR.

What kind of RvR? Solo? You accomplish your goal with that.

How about group RvR? You just raised the bar substantially. To compete you must have your Stat Cap pots and be overcapped by 30.

So if you're a new Uthgard player (Like myself and many of the people I brought with me to this fine server.) it's hard to get templated even just barely, let alone +30 in your primary and secondary stat, and afford Barrels and Barrels of stat cap potion. (See incoming, use potion. Every incoming, win or lose. You must use potion.)

I love all the changes, I do. And the Uthgard staff does a great job but I request that you please find a way to make alchemy 'more attractive' without raising the bar for 8-man RvR.

tl;dr

Stat Cap potions will drastically change the way 8man groups work and require newer players to redo their entire templates.

Thank you, long live Uthgard.

EDIT: Hooray U.S. GM! Finally some support for us latenighters.

nice news thx for your work but will we know any ETA or will see soon any 1st changes if i can ask ?

Maybe this overcap thing is a april fool
Blue would go crazy I think.

TNX YOU STAF.

its 4 self buffs and str/con and haste from 2 buffs max then add 30 str for 2 min cap raise

Im gonna respec to blades again with this and will get close to 300 str then with those changes
add pd4, ip2 to that and only 2 buffs for 95% of my enemies = unbeatable, will take atleast 3 assasins to get me down then and i will get 2 of em with me

Blade melee ranger will be totally op with these changes, staff consider it hard before making this change and this coming from a ranger that knows his class will be to op, specially with old ra´s so far in the future.

These potions will increase stat caps by 30 for 2 minutes.

2 mins for pots ? ridiculous .
Even 10 min for pots/charges on uthgard is ridiculous, you spend them for nothing every time.
Some ppl will probably tell me that you will have to use the pots in fight or just before the fight i know ... but lol.

Anyway i see some changes & updates here , but nothing that i was waiting for.

Before planning to makes such kind of updates and implement new kind of stuff, try to fix and resolve the major problem of the server, like rvr population, rvr zones & tps, the freaking ugly Hib horse road that is being camped 24/7 and more stuff.

Sorry but this is bad.

So whats the april fool in the news and whats not, bcs this must be a april fools joke tbh

"We do however acknowledge that alchemists will suffer from this and we plan to implement some new potions to make alchemy more attractive. These potions will increase stat caps by 30 for 2 minutes. "

Horrible horrible horrible idea!
It will force everyone to remake their templates to have the optimal setup for RvR again, I thought the potion change was just to make it easier for new people to join RvR on an equal lvl, this just makes it even harder..

I really hope for the sake of Uthgard that is a aprils fool..

Port directly to keeps? Bad Idea.

OldRas and NewRas together? Just Horrible (too much customization - just choose!)

Buffpots that increase caps for 2 min? With OLDNEWRA/OF/Porting to keeps? Bad Idea.

lol at the stat cap thing, you fooled a couple

Haha didnt read that cap stats carefully, i think it is a fool so calm down

It s not intended to ve both, just to switch back if Old RAs fails.
