it is not 1 per piece of armor, it is 1 per resist. It was previously two per resist. So if you dropped each of your resists down by 1 on a piece, your dci would go up by 5. If you did this on 5 pieces, your cap would be increased by 25 (70) while you resists would be 5 lesser for each (65/65/65/65/65)
Yes, doubtlessly they should have done the note clearer.
Refinement components are spawning in some of the Fel shops on Origin (haven't been able to check many shops yet though). The city stones are in place in the Trammel towns on Origin that will have elections come June. I'm not sure they are usable for anything yet. The one I clicked while using a character who has no town loyalty just told me elections happen in March, June, September, and December. The new status bar shows up in CC. Haven't had a chance to do much of anything else there yet other than a little bit of running around. Looked through Castle Blackthorn to see if there was anything noticeably new there and didn't see anything. Someone was doing a champ spawn somewhere, based on one utterance I heard in general chat. Haven't seen or heard chat from any other people around though, other than a guildmate who was carefully examining a new suit of heavy metal armor.
Last Friday's publish notes say, "Hit lower defense now scales 35% of the player's Defense Chance Increase and remains -25 DCI versus non players. Hit lower defense now ignores over-capped DCI."
Yeah man wtf. They are doing a realllllly terrible job with communication here and during this whole testing phase.
It's 250k on Siege.
Is that part about "Crafted or purchased bow - 500" Right? Crafted is supposed to be 550 - base 500
I checked it a couple of times. Will make and buy more and check them again. Do they have to be exceptionally crafted? My fletcher's not that good yet.... Or do they need the "Balanced" property on them to get an increased cap. Don't have any bows handy with Balanced on them and no essence to waste making one on Origin, if so.
You know what i think it is? Your crafted bow isn't exceptional
Well, if I get time to work her skill up a bit and if no one else has posted about it by then, I'll check later with a crafted exceptional bow. I think her arms lore is only 85ish, but that shouldn't matter except for the actual success chance, right?
Correct. I am not able to test exceptional bows on Origin but on TC they were 550 imbuing weight when exceptional.
You can still make bone or plate medable, you just need to leave a slot open and "purchase" mage armor from a NPC Mage Guildmaster. So it takes zero imbuing weight but the piece you are putting it on can have no more than four mods.
You can still craft nonmeddable armor and add the Mage Armor property to the pieces. But you have to pay 250,000 per piece to a mage guildmaster/mistress to put the property on the armor. (Note that the Mage Armor property will still show up automatically on exceptionally crafted samurai platemail armor when it's made by your smith. Just confirmed it on Origin.)
The one disadvantage of the new material bonuses is the percent chance of failure will be higher across the board. The net effect could be an increase of Origin purchases, or maybe just a lot of angry people who smash their faces into their keyboards.
You do too much work. Mesanna should present you with something.
Yep, that's how I read it.
Uh...that's not true. EA Jobs has had a Senior Product Manager open hire since February. I mean, maybe it's up and they aren't really looking, but it's up there. There is also a Software Engineer III position as of 4/2.
Sounds like a bug to me, I don't recall reading it and I didn't test it myself.
I'd have to test it on Chesapeake, but Step 1 should be the same as Step 4. I'm forgetting right now as I patch, but 290.4% seems crazy redundant. But if that's what it should be, it should be 290.4% in Step 1.
I think with the change they still want it so that Mage Armor counts against the maximum of 5 properties that you can normally have on items that we modify with imbuing. But the notes say Mage Armor won't have any weight for imbuing. So it kinda makes sense to me that it would take up a property slot but also have a weight of 0 for purposes of adding the other properties. But if that's the case, then I would expect the available weight for imbuing 4 more properties to be same as if the Mage Armor wasn't even on the piece at all and that the imbuing success chance would reflect that extra wiggle room in the available weight.
sorry, just got home from work.
Hi Tina,
I can not believe all the work Tina is putting in, you go girl and UO needs to give her a special title.
I have not been following the pvm aspect too closely.
If character copy is still working (I have not checked recently), you might want to copy him to Test Center and see how he does there. Might be the fastest way to find out if he'll be okay or if you'll have to change up his suit a bit.
I think so too. After all they had a separate .exe for test center with all these weapons changes...
You're gonna have to have a non-exceptional one then which I would assume would be less than 600 weight.
I'm going to create a character called 'Vacant' and become a governor. That will really mess with people's heads!
