Game Updates February 15,2007

Vanguard Build 1752 Patch Notes 2/15/2007

GAMEPLAY NOTES

- Removed the minimum range from all bought ammo.
- Updated camel mount speeds to be equal to horses of the same rank
- The passive High Elf racial inheritance, Elven Wisdom, will now last indefinitely and work as intended.
- The chance to take a durability hit on items has been reduced by 20%
- Weapon, Armor and Ranged vendors should now all be able to repair items.
- When dual wielding, you get 66% of your mainhand weapon's speed, and 33% of your offhand weapon. The ratio of these is the same ratio as the damage you get from each weapon. Previously, you got 50% of each weapon's speed/delay.
- Attribute bonus to spell damage from intelligence, to healing from vitality and to melee damage from strength were only 70% as effective as intended. This bug has been corrected players will now receive their intended attribute bonuses.
- Spell resistance rates have been decreased.
- Gave all purchased horses/camels a bump up in stability, the higher the rank the better
- Housing - Added UI confirmation popups for purchasing a plot, abandoning a plot, and tearing down a house.
- Housing – Fixed an issue where the fixture count for a building would not update if you picked the item up via the UI item list.
- Housing – Fixed an issue where the upkeep balance value was being cut off in the plot information window.
- Shield base block bonus has been decreased.
- Wolves now run at normal speed
- Spider NPC abilities have been adjusted and expanded upon across the board.
- Effects that modify the amount of healing done should now work correctly, rather than reducing all healing to zero.
- You can no longer earn progress towards learning abilities that are higher than your level via ability learning. Your level must now be greater than or equal to the ability's level.
- The strength bonus to melee damage has been changed. Your strength now grants you bonus damage based on both your strength to level ratio and the speed of your weapon. This radically increases the effectiveness of strength in melee combat.
- The dexterity bonus to ranged damage has been changed. Your dexterity now grants you bonus damage based on both your dexterity to level ratio and the speed of your ranged weapon. This radically increases the effectiveness of dexterity in ranged combat.
- Intelligence damage bonus has been increased.
- Vitality healing bonus has been increased.
- Added some possible protection against PVP mez type spells never breaking some effects.
- Parry dagger and martial sword base parry bonus has been decreased.
- Melee evasion has been refined and refocused on block, dodge and parry effectiveness. There is no longer a base evasion that the player gets from dexterity as this type of evasion was decreased opportunities to counter attack. Dexterity will now increase your innate ability to parry and dodge. Strength increases your innate ability to block. You still receive a portion of your block, dodge and parry for free assuming you have your skill value up. Like other attribute based bonuses the required attribute to earn your full block, dodge and parry reward increases with level.

Comme tu le constates, gros changement sur le bonus de FOR ! Mainteannt la FOR joue sur le %block. Toutefois, on a gagné 100 pts de respec pour les AP donc tu pourras changer sans soucis.

Citation :

- Block, dodge and parry skills now determine your maximum possible chance to block, dodge and parry. Increasing you skill will increase your both actual chance and potential for increase with more attribute investment.
- You always have a chance to block, dodge and parry an incoming attack (assuming you have the skills) this was previously only true when hit.
- The new melee evasion system has allowed us to radically increase the amount of block, dodge or parry that a class has making counter attacks a more common part of gameplay (if you choose to invest in evasion). These are the new innate values that can be reached at any level by class:
Bard – 16% parry and 6% dodge
Blood Mage – 8% dodge
Cleric – 8% block and 4% parry
Disciple – 8% dodge and 4% parry

Nerf des focus incoming Entre nous, c'était un peu abusé de capper son spell damage focus avec 2 items seulement. Les batons n'avaient aucun intérêt et les tailors faisaient un peu la gueule...

WORLD POPULATION NOTES

New Areas: Southwatch and Spire’s Keep

Before the erection of New Targonor there existed another castle of massive proportions from which the kings of Targonor ruled. When the undead armies swept through the Thestran lands, engulfing everything in their path, the castle of Old Targonor fell to the army of bone. Since those times, the undead army continues to amass its forces in the lands surrounding the once great castle. The only thing keeping the undead at bay are the dwarves of Bordinar’s Cleft, humans of Tursh, halflings of Rindol Field, and the high elves of Leth Nurae joining forces to create massive bulwarks between the tainted lands and Southwatch, a once peaceful community ruled by Lord Hugo Heartsworn. Citizens from all parts of Thestra have congregated in Heartsworn’s land to assist in the war effort, but their resources are dwindling, soldiers are perishing, and vagabonds have realized the opportunity to profit in the chaos. Lord Hugo Heartsworn, residents of Southwatch, and all of those living on the continent of Thestra need the assistance of adventurers to ensure that the undead army will never break through the bulwarks and wash over the continent. Southwatch is intended for solo adventurers and small groups level 30 through 35.

GAMEPLAY NOTES

- Experience is now lost (or debt is applied) when you release or are resurrected, instead of at the moment of death.
- You can now gain skill both on success and on failure, instead of only on success. This should make gaining skill with weapons you haven't used before at higher levels significantly easier.
- Dark Elves now start at -8100 faction with Celestine Ward like all other “misunderstood” races instead of -8200
- Abilities which cause damage over time that are not in the same spell line should now stack.
- Melee and Ranged direct attacks have had a bug fixed that was causing them to do around double damage. Direct attacks are one type of melee attack that do not use weapon damage and strength damage directly, the are most often used with abilities that do not have damage as their focus.

Mouhahaha, ce nerf ! Et à coté, baisse des timers pour les casters...

Citation :

CODING NOTES

- Fixed a substantial client memory leak. This will greatly minimize any further occurrences.
- Major improvements to NPCs teleporting to you when you are levitated and fleeing or in the water and fleeing have been made. However, continuing to cast on/attack an NPC in the situation where it doesn't think it can path to you will cause it to port to you.
- fixed a problem where sometimes an ability would have an effect that kills you, and in a duel since you don't die, it would end the duel but keep processing other effects that would actually kill you.

ITEM NOTES

- The Cloak of Vindication is now soulbound.
- All adventuring Martial Staffs now correctly use the “Two-Handed Blunt” weapon overskill
- All adventuring Bladed Staffs now correctly use the “Two-Handed Pierce” weapon overskill
- Starspark Melded Chestguard has had it’s statistics adjusted
- Thousands of Adventuring Armor, Jewelry and Weapons have had their statistics increased/fixed/adjusted. This will result in any item in question being better; in some cases, a few hitpoints or energy were removed to increase DPS or a single attribute but, as stated, the items will ALWAYS be better in those situations.
- All Maces, Clubs, Daggers, Wands/Rods, Greatstaves and Greatmauls have had their appearances updated and retiered with the new models in mind. This change in “tiering” will result in item models changing, some to a “better” model and some to a “not so better” model. The weapon’s appearance and tiering is based upon the level and the rarity of the item. In the future, when higher tier models are patched in, that addition will result in the shuffling of some of the current higher tiered models to lower tiered models, making them available at earlier levels and more common rarities. The remaining weapon types are also currently being retiered and should be updated in the patch(es) to come.
- Shield of Promise has been increased to Heroic and is now Soulbound
- Blessed Chain Vest has been increased to rare from uncommon
- Bounty Hunter’s Cuirass and Greaves has had it’s AC reduced and funneled into other statistics on the items.
- Higher level effects on wands and staves have had their names adjusted, which should clarify their power in relation to the lower level effects.
- Llyn's Drakerune Belt is now bindable instead of soulbound

Oh putain, je vais avoir des trucs a rattraper.

Suis en France et en pleine insomnie (2h du mat ici, 22h en Argentine)

Ca a l'air de bien ajuster dans tous les sens les patchs. Va falloir réapprendre à jouer =)

Putain, 3 jours. J'ai tous les symptômes du manque de MMO : j'arrive plus a taper au clavier, j'ai bronzé etc... Mais bon, 2 jours d'avions avec 2 correspondances ca te gueris bien de vouloir sortir de chez toi (serieux, les aéroports et les compagnies aériennes c'est vraiment la honte. 3 avions : 3 retards, et mes bagages sont encore en train de voyager).
