[GarthGrey]

Someone asked for an improvement to the Tithing experience ?

 

[Uriah Heep]

Dunno, wasn't me...not after the tmap fiasco. Wonder what it does, I mean, you put money in the shrine...seems simple as is

 

[Coco_Zamis_DF]

What if you want to put only 10k tithing points into the ankh? Not everyone likes to spend 100k. Let's test and moan later if needed.
Highlight is the new vendor.

 

[Nereus]

Numerous Quality of Life Updates[…]

Wonder what it does, I mean, you put money in the shrine...seems simple as is

Just updating the tithing interface from the directional arrows to numeric entry. Long overdue.

 

[Megadeath]

The vendor is AMAZING news! I cannot wait!

 

[Laura_Gold]

Not me. I didn't ask for a change to tithing, nor for an update to aquariums.

I did wish* that aquarium** food be stackable. Did they fix that? Did they?

*Am I allowed to use the word "wish" now that the Wish thread has been locked? Er, am I allowed to talk about a thread that has been locked?

**Okay, I know at least one person who will totally enjoy the new aquariums. Aquaria. Whatever***
*** Can virtual virtual Tamagotchi be far behind?

 

[Khaelor]

There is so much amazing stuff coming out with this patch, cannot wait!!!

Here is the anniversary gifts...

Posting stuff as we find it to our discord channel.

 

[MalagAste]

Did they fix the problem with the Beacons???

 

[Cyrah]

Ok do we have to keep the fish in those bowls? Or they gasp away and die? Plz not. I have wanted fanstatic fish for a player made pond so so so so so long. Many years. Can we use the new fish out of the fish tank?

 

[Pawain]

[GarthGrey]

When did Erebus get added to the Dread Pirate names ?

 

[Khaelor]

beat you to it (as always)

 

[Pawain]

Ya you edited in the Pics while ignoring me on TC.

 

[Pawain]

When did Erebus get added to the Dread Pirate names ?

I noticed some odd names also and prefixes I have not seen before.

 

[Uriah Heep]

Erebus is our EM.. =) Would be nice to end up with his name lol

 

[Great DC]

No mention of fixing the loot generation! No reason to log in yet.

 

[Great DC]

My favorite part is under "bug fixes" they listed "raised turn in points on body parts from fishing"

 

[Pawain]

Client Updates

• Added new option in the Classic & Enhanced Client to toggle the display of the contents of public houses.
• Classic Client: Increased the size of the book gump

These have been added now.

CC ... The Display Public Houses is the last thing under Display. (eyeball) It is set to default OFF.

 

[Cyrah]

Any one remember the old fish tanks? And doing exactly what what required and your prize fish STILL DIED? Now we get that again. Oh freaking joy.

Ill use the bones as Deco. Ill take your extras when it is live. I was never able to keep my Aquarium clean.
RL aquarium fish die for no reason. Some live for no reason also. Had a Beta that the cat knocked out of its bowl and onto the bed. When I got home the Beta turned from Blue to Grey and was in a drop of water on the bed. Thing lived for another year.

 

[Quickblade]

So this is where all our Devs passed their time on ... drawing arts files for aquarium deco fish, mailboxes and other wall-hanging deco trinkets ? Comon team

Hopefully , they got other ''useful'' stuff coming up with this update soon...

They do.

This is only a small part of what’s to come in Forsaken Foes and we look forward to hearing your constructive feedback as we work through the public testing process.

 

[Great DC]

When I see @Kyronix again, im going to ask if they can put in a simple small cooldown on casting wall of stone. (like 5-10 secs). This would fix the issue of people using outside programs throw them non-stop in pvp on a script.

 

[Cyrah]

An Atlantic Em found a way to use the fish art from the old evil waste of time fish tank on a pond. Go out the Atlantic south luna gate and see. They do not have to be made bigger as K said on TC to use on player ponds, they work fine as they are. I know! Sell the fish art in the game store!

 

[Drakelord]

Clone the Pirate quest locations is what I want to see

 

[Lord Arm]

why are we getting new fish that we have to feed/water everyday and yet still end up dead. i thought they might of added something special/creature for each color/type of net but not this.

 

[jack flash uk]

So what about the forsaken foes?

 

[Keith of Sonoma]

So what about the forsaken foes?

That was probably a "limited content event" from 4:00-4:01 PM, and is now over, forever. To make way for the new deco items, and dead fish, apparently.

 

[Maximus Neximus]

What is commission vendor?

A new player ran vendor that charges 5.25% commission at the time of sale vs having a daily fee. Items out on this vendor take up lockdown space from your house so it can’t be used as free storage.

 

[Uriah Heep]

So, in order to be able to keep selling slow moving items and still make a profit, we have to give up precious house storage slots.

Nope, another idea that got all twisted and wasted valuable dev time...

 

[Pinco]

damn castle competition.... now I can't update the UI with the new changes because the devs refuses to add the portal to remove EJ due to the competition -.-

 

[Dot_Warner]

Players came up with the vendor idea, including its use of lockdowns as a measure of "balance."

The devs liked it and thus it was created.

Stop beotching just to beotch.

 

[Uriah Heep]

Players also had the idea of remove trap and those puzzles...

Not all player ideas are good, just sayin...

 

[Ezekiel Zane]

Hey, it least it only takes up the amount of storage of what's actually on the vendor. They could have made it block out a full 125 item count.

 

[Spellbound]

Like the antique!

 

[Khaelor]

It's actuallly quite a fair trade-off and I think it will be a boon to all servers. We've been in talks amongst ourselves on what we will do with them on Chesapeake. The downside being only the house owner can own the vendors, so no benefit for vendor malls or those who rent spaces at others houses (luna), but considering vendor search we don't think it's too big of a negative.

 

[Spellbound]

Kyronix also answered the Buc's Den pirate giving out tritons for crates won't be leaving yet, and notice will be given prior to his departure. Yay! Thank you Kyronix.

 

[Maximus Neximus]

I disagree. If you want to sell slow moving things, only make or put out a couple until they sell. If you're down to single or double digits in your storage, you should probably consider getting rid of some stuff. Or you could always acquire Garden Sheds if/when you have funds to do so.

A vendor's backpack holds 125 items iirc. You don't have to use them all. Hell, you don't have to use the new vendor at all. If you don't like it, keep using the old one.

 

[Pawain]

I will use for NOOB armor suits. Otherwise it could sit on a vendor for a month or more and wipe out the funds.

 

[Poo]

thats true, but the remove trap idea was spot on, one of the best game changes in 20 years.

 

[Cetric]

A year's worth of extremely random updates


Could use a vvv update thanks

While not perfect, I miss factions.

 

[celticus]

NICE! All these changes are welcome and about time. GJ Devs!

 

[Tyrath]

The Vendor will be great for low pop shards and well I did not see where anyone would be forced to use them. The Chiv change is much welcome as it gets old clicking to add 10k. Aquariums I could care less either way. Copper stuff is just junk deco imo to be hoarded until it has clean up value.

Clone the Pirate quest locations is what I want to see

Yep really need to put one on Jhelom Docks........ I am just afraid they will come up with the most complex convoluted solution to something very easy to just do.

thats true, but the remove trap idea was spot on, one of the best game changes in 20 years.

Remove trap was a good move, I have found 70RT to marginally less effective than 100RT Which if you do it right about the most guardians you will pop removing it is two at lvl 70 on trove. Won't detail that as I am not sure if it is working as intended or is a bug. Overall T Hunting is much more pleasant and rewarding now than it was at least IMO.

While not perfect, I miss factions.

I miss them as well, I made a lot of gold farming and selling faction silver Every time I log onto my T Hunter though I can at least console myself that I am partly still in Minax as I am still immune to Ogre Lords and they are immune to RC and EVs that I cast LOL. Which is a pain for maps that pop ogre lords and T Hunter with no room for eval on the template.

Hmmm. You know I never did check to see if any of my characters across the many shards were still immune. I may have to do that one of these days.

many of well spent time wasted on that pursuit.
and enjoyed!

Mine is acting like im still in TB and I can't tell my pet to attack those silver serpents at level 4 rats spawn xD In return they do not attack me either.
