Thanks.

Someone check a high stat lesser and a high stat Crimson drake or Platinum drake for me. Or don't set this live for a week please.

My drake is here. Platinum and Crimson Drakes

Spawn rate in Sorc dungeon is MUCH better! Thank you!

 

[Larisa]

Well I started another round with Spica but we ended up spawning a paragon snowman..took about 30 minutes to kill...2 other archers came in to help...it's almost 2 AM and I gotta get up with my kid at 6!

Spawn is much better...drop rate is good...paragons NOT SO MUCH! BUT would be nice to get a chest!

Off for the night!



When it was red-lined it STILL had 10k hp...ZzzZZzzzzzz

 

[Khaelor]

As it currently stands from testing this evening, legacy nightmares 315, 125, 125, 515, 125, 125 are current retaining their slots and taming on test server. @Bleak thank you very much. Will continue to train and work on the mares and will inform if there is any changes.

According to what @Kyronix posted the bosses are not supposed to spawn as paragons. Correction, they can spawn as paragons. I must have misremembered the post

 

[Larisa]

Yeah I don't mind the paragons but they posted the update to TC so late and I just HAD to get on to test the spawn rate...I really like this content....hoping that they can spawn a chest and that in the months time we have to do it we get one But so far I've only seen the snowman spawn as a paragon.

I did, however, manage to capture Jack in the Box's cute little face!



And his corpse

Hi,

I have 1 exploited pet in the stables from taming/release/taming/release expoit, no change to this pet? i copied my char over to test centre today.

Lol, so they "fixed" all the other pets apart from the ones that actually needed fixing?

 

[Mervyn]

I have a greater dragon that was tamed at 5 slots, it was dropped down to 4 slot using exploit, then trained it to 5 slot, i don't see any stat difference from prodo vs test...

meet at luna stables

He probably used the method that knocked a ton of HP off the dragon. Then he trained it and possibly put regens, resists and scrolls on it. But the HP are about the same as it was at the beginning or possibly lower.

I bet it would be hard to distinguish this GD from one that spawned as a 4 slot. Also please ban him for a few days for breaking the ToS so others don't complain.

 

[Dot_Warner]

Also please ban him for a few days for breaking the ToS so others don't complain.

But this would run contrary to Mesanna's "Any way you want to win..." ethos.

Think of the children!

 

[Mervyn]

hey, i didn't say "I" exploited it, i said the GD was exploited, (PS, i did it)

 

[Picus at the office]

Aww, the old days of Stratics would have seen such a ban hammer being thrown down... @kelmo

He said Jack can't, but iirc, the others can.

 

[Khaelor]

Multiple non exploited trained pets are still being reverted on Tc1. Dragon and predator hellcats so far, still doing more testing. Can you look into this, please @Bleak . Thank you.

Edit: So the revert is happening on pre-Publish 97 pets. A non-exploited Dragon is reverting to 4 slots on TC once trained. Similarly, a non-expoited pre-patch Predator Hellcat is reverting to 2 slots on TC once trained. The reverts happen upon relogging into TC.

When did you copy to TC? Let me know when you are on TC.

 

[Pawain]

All my pets stayed 5 slots. Thanks

@Bleak Did you change the slots on untamed Gallasaurus? I heard they are 4 slot now.

 

[Khaelor]

When did you copy to TC? Let me know when you are on TC.

I transferred this copy on Sunday night and trained the pets Sunday and yesterday. When logging on this morning I noticed the revert. I am on it now, at Luna Stables if you have time to meet. I don't have non-reverted copies of the pets available, will be able to transfer again tomorrow if you need to see those copies.

 

[Lord Nabin]

@Bleak I really appreciate the live Dev interaction here. Keep up the good work and thank you!

How hard is the spawn in this sorcerer dungeon?

 

[Khaelor]

How hard is the spawn in this sorcerer dungeon?

Typical undead. Skeletons, Lichs, Zombies, etc. The lower level also has Lich Lords, Rotting Corpses, Balrons. All of which can spawn as Paragons too. I'm probably missing some, that's just from memory.

 

[Khaelor]

When did you copy to TC? Let me know when you are on TC.

@Bleak copied freshly this morning. Pets trained, logged for 30 min to an hour, Dragon has reverted again to 4 slot.

How hard is the spawn in this sorcerer dungeon?

The current spawn is not too hard normally. But the Halloween Content (especially the bosses) can be challenging.
