Uthgard

Hello!

This evening we have had a staff meeting, where we made some decisions. Here are the most important ones:

- Emain Macha will be reduced to 2 Keeps. We are seaching good positions for TKs of the realms.

- The bonus in all RvR-Zones will change. Stay tuned.

- We will make an additional BG for the higher Levels, to prepare for endgame in Emain.

- The BP-Merchants don't sell Reskin-Scrolls anymore. Also the existing reskinned items will be replaced with their original skin next time.(You will get you BPs back, of course)

That was a little information about the future, here the most important things we achieved the last week:

Technical:
- You can only connect with client-version 1.80 or higher
- Fixed a Disease-Bug
- Disease breaks Mezz
- Some Housing changes and bugfixes
- Campfire can't be placed in RvR-zones any longer
- Campfire can't be placed to close to Mobs any longer

Worldbuild:
- In the main-cities there are now training dummies without resists for testing you damage.
- Black Mountains North fully dropped
- Black Mountains South fully dropped
- Campacorentin Forest fully dropped
- Avalon Marsh almost done

That's all. I'll now try to post a news about the happenings on Uthgard every Sunday.

PS: We also decided to react harder for flames in IRC and threads in Forum. Please hold in mind when commenting to the news. Thanks

all sounds good and the PS is perfect

That PS looks like u said: Dont comment my news, or we will react.

If emain is reduced to 2 keeps, in my opinion will be imbalanced. A bg for higher levels will make that higher players get their rps from bg and emain will be empty. If the reskinned will be changed back , give every player their bp's back for every item reskinned (i dont have any reskin).

Good job about technical and workbuild.

Yeah, thats right. All players become their bp's back.

Yes, all who have an event reskin, make a GMcall and you'll become back your reskin.

better take a pic before/after so you remember which reskin you had (at least i did this for me cause i sometimes really black out with memories )

i dont agree , we need it , i think 40+ are already ****** off by being farmed all the time by uber high rr 50s

The BG will be designed for Level 41-46 player with a RR cap of R4L0. So when you reach emain you will be 47 and R4L0. We think with this it could be a somewhat fairer fight.

Things are not in stone and level ranges as well the cap can change. We thought 41-46 is a balanced approach for the bg.

Idea behind is to have a chance to reach R4L0 before you enter emain.

that will be awesome !

YEAA GREAT IDEA

sounds nice, but what's wrong with reskins??
just a question, i don't understand how they have impact on gameplay, if they can't spend their BP on reskins, they will start greykilling again cause BP are getting less interesting

Special skins will be reserved for more rare items like event items or low chance boss mob items. There were discussions about living christmas trees or luke skywalkers running around on the server

Hello,

Maybe BPs will be used as on live, to by special stone that work as potions, or some water breathing potions?!
Or to pay with /bountyrent the house when the weekly fee will be more high?!

But Actually it permit to buy here the respec stones, aprticulary the RA ones.
And for poorest to pop the siege machinery over keeps.

For the BGs, i guess better to see after some weeks (monthes) how it runs before "making plan over the comet".

And nice to see you still alive Blue.

Regards,

Pirith.

about that luke skywalker thing

thats realy strange!!!!!!!

but strangly satisfying 2 think that we kill luke
