R156

So far the stuff I've gathered:

-Reworked Dark Armor set (https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/reworked-dark-armor-set.68425/)

-Hagastove Grotto entrance moved from Swerdfield to Kingshill


-A new Swerdfield Pastures map (once again, IMO seems the worst one so far, quite ugly looking too, the old one was better)


-Tepoxl NPC in Yaltapetl (maybe for Guild Wars, or another battleground?)


-Return of Viscanium event (+ a new event NPC called Drake with a few new quests)

 

Thanks Something..... BTW... Are you sure your a forum greenhorn?? lololol

Thanks, Doc \,,/ (^_^) \,,/

 

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to imply here, but yes, that's what my forum title

 

At a guess, I would say that DocWhisky was asking why you're posting using a new forum a/c rather than your _Dragonscale_ forum a/c

 

No offense meant Something, It just seemed to me, that your style of posting would suggest that you are more experienced on the forums than your "greenhorn" title would suggest. If I'm mistaken, I apologize. As stated, I mean no offense.

Thanks, Doc.

 

Just FYI your live server account is not linked to your test server account even if you use the same email account. That is what info was missing.

 

This game is becoming very ugly.



Deep Purplesang Pokemon Online!

 

That would be because if I'm already logged in with my TS account I'm not gonna bother logging in again with my Live Server acc, yeah I'm lazy.

Yay, new crystal graphics! Though I wouldn't say the game is becoming ugly because of those. Well, okay, the new Swerdfield map is also quite ugly, mostly because of the terrible lighting. But they did an amazing job with the Lor'Tac maps.

No offense taken.

 

I can confirm lighting strike doesnt hit at the center. And same with the meteor. This was found on the event map when attacking the miniboss, it hits near his leg.

It will be a major disaster if that goes live. I'm a lighting strike kind of a guy with the 3k staff.

 

Major disaster you say? Then there is no way they will fix it before this release goes live. The CM's better start drafting their sincere apologies to the SWs with lightening builds.

 

I think it has always been a bug, now they just finally fixed it. A shame, this new way of teleporting takes twice as long. And because I always press teleport first and then mount, I now cancel the teleportation by mounting and then cancel the mounting as I press teleport again, after I've realised that it doesn't work anymore.

 

Lightning bug!! Say it ain't so

 

Big surprise, another crappy update.

 

A lot of Lor'Tac is in dim lighting, with hero accents. That may be to make it suspenseful, like EDIT. But it just makes it hard on the eyes, and covers up a boring action line.
More lighting would be better. Evil can enjoy bright colors, and is best recognized in the light of day.

 

I hate bright lighting in zones. Swerdfield Pastures, for example, looks really ugly with the new bright, white lighting - it's almost like if it was foggy in there. Here's an example on the new lighting:



Honestly, I like the old one better.

 

Just a brief reminder.
Outside the "Ask the CMs" thread you are on my turf.
Here, we don't let the players break the forum rules.

 

You can try.

 

With R156 the maps are even darker because they want to emphasise their useless "hero light" feature ... but they are forgetting one thing ... that feature is not suitable for games like DSO. That feature is used in the games where the player have undiscovered world ... and in the same time the area of the lightning is the range of their character.

Not quite ... the drops of the andermant has been increased.

Yes I can confirm ... but they strike the target ... so probably the "hitboxes" are misplaced.



Bearer-of-Death your negotiation skills reminds me of Salim.

 

Umm, not quite... if you take a close look at this pic,

Spoiler

you may notice that the maps are, in fact, lighter!

 

Not quite ... like you already mentioned that map has been reworked ...
One thing i have noticed ... in the maps where this "hero light" feature is used the maps are darker.
In the Hidden Sanctum for an example It is the same:

Before (R155 on live server)

After (R156 TS)


But in the Crypt of Kings it is very notable

Before (R155 Live server)

After (R156 TS)
