February patch preview, input appreciated

What would Kremsies and other trolls do if you nerf throwing? And Gravoth calls my build a troll build, complete opposite of all those AGI whores on crack buzzing around...

I dont even mind the throwing, atleast it's more fun to play when krems are actually playing the game and not afk'ing in spawn. So if theres something for them to play, it should stay. It's annoying like any other ranged build, but its not op.

Lets not give some ideas, i saw some armors i must own

Finished with the changes set so far. Many are a little different than what's shown in the OP.

I tried to make it so that only 1 crossbow is loaded if you spawn with more than 1. For some reason, I couldn't get it to work right and now only your *second crossbow is loaded while the others aren't (even the one you're equipped with upon spawning). At least it kind of works.

[Finse]

Any specific date set for the patch yet?

[San]

There's a ton of new items that needs to be added. That'll take a few days.

[Finse]

Will there be added any new pics to the website


Sorry if i ask much....

[San]

Yes, the item team is keeping track of them. Revival items seem set.

Any specific date set for the patch yet?

Yes, december 2010, as always. A chain is only as stronk as its weakest link. And dev team is only as fast as its laziest member....

I am glad that people are still pumping out updates for CRPG, but is this really an issue that needs to be patched? I can't remember a single time that some dude dominated by having multiple crossbows loaded at spawn. Even when the regular crossbow was 1 slot.

[San]

All crossbows are gonna be made 1 slot with steel bolts changing to 2 slot. Xbows didn't really *need the change, but it's still easier to manage the ammo and there's less upkeep.

[AwesomeHail]

I still dont fully understand, why are ammo (bolts and arrows) changed to two slots, and bows/xbow +/- 1 slot?
because of balance issues?

-Its not that I am playing archer or crossbowman anymore, I'm just interested

[San]

Xbows had no growth from the patch and it's fun to change things up sometimes. I think I'll update OP with the newer stats.

Edit: Additions, not going to be too specific with stats since they're still being fine tuned

----
Only 1 xbow loaded upon spawn. If you spawn with more than 1, only the second xbow will have a bolt.
----
Greater focus on performance for autobalance. Extra rewards for winning and getting valour on a x5. Better players are worth more score if you kill them for round 1.
----
Siege: Winning gives a +2 multiplier. Battle: Extra rewards based on score and level. Minor gameplay adjustments.
----
Increased dtv rewards by 2x.
----

Other gameplay changes:

-Melee speed bonus: 2->1.8
-Ranged speed bonus: 1->1.4


Armor
-All armor gains +1 armor unloomed.

+1: 1 armor, 90% weight
+2: 2 armor, 90% weight
+3: 3 armor, 85% weight

Medium:
+1: 2 armor
+2: 3 armor
+3: 4 armor (same as before)

Plate:

+2: 5 armor, 104% weight
+3: 7 armor, 107% weight

Gloves:

-gloves get their own loom bonuses with adjusted scaling

Difficulty:

Body armor: weight * 0.9 for the end
Head: weight * 5 for the upper end
Hands: weight * 11 for the upper end
Legs: weight * 5 for the upper end

All of these are approximations

Mauls: +2-4 difficulty
Great Lance: 22 difficulty
Jousting Lance: 18 difficulty


Bows/Crossbows:
-All Bows/Crossbows made 1 slot
-Tatar Arrows, Bodkins, and Steel Bolts made 2 slots
-Ammo increase for arrows, decrease for bolts (ex. Steel Bolts made 2 slot, but only +2 ammo)
-Adjusted Arrows, Barbed Arrows, and Bolts to balance hybrids
-Bow missile speed scales up again instead of scaling down, 38 to 42 missile speed
-Small damage increase for weaker bows
-Accuracy increase for bows. Better increase for Arbalest, worse increase for Heavy Crossbow
-(possible)Damage Buffs for first 3 crossbows, speed buffs for first two, slight speed nerf for Crossbow.


Many weapons experienced miscellaneous changes.

-Buffs given to weaker weapons and 1-2 difficulty increase for a few others. Nothing too exciting in that regard. Most of the excitement for melee will come from new weapons and armor.
