    The new PW is awesome! I really like it. Grim makes us feel as if the map was alive lol. Im going to start Stonekeep now and I can say the maps i played were awesome.
    Now lets talk about things that should change ahahah
    1 - Ess drops: Never played a single map in DSO that didnt drop ess. New PW maps barely drops, why?
    2 - Combat Value: Well if developers couldnt finish even the items comparison i cant understand why they developed the CV. Its clearly benefiting defense statuses and i did lots of tests. HP, RESIST and ARMOR are what CV tends to give the best results. This is by far wrong and a big fail. My char could barely stand alive with defense items following the CV. In the other hand 42% crit hits and 200% crit dmg does really gave me CVs lol. So fix it or remove from game till its working!

    Congratulations on new PW! Thats great!

    I liked the PW's a lot! The drop rate is great, the dungeons are great. Good update guys, well done!
    There is only one bad thing. Low level players begging lv50 players to carry them over in PW's for Xp block. Please give us option to DISABLE WHISPERS!!!! Because our chats are red and can't read anything else:mad:

    hmm, now it is bossible to get those same 100 damage legs for older players (allso me) too, new players get like those all the time after lvl 50 patch.....still those all are useless.

    Seems like it takes more than a year to get even 1 usable legendary. Now only way to get new items is to use dragens. Dragen "uniques" should be nearly usless, but for me it's only way to get even something new :(

    I shall write again if miracle happends.

    You should solve q1-q5 in order to open q6 ... those who finished them before R158 can enter right away no matter if they finished the new PW maps or not.

    Are you guys accepting the non-reseting maps? It is kind of a game changer for me, hopefully I'm not alone. Any chance some sort of screaming would help to tune the Dev minds? Just want to know your opinion.

    i had everything for the weapon at the end of time (dk) except for the rattle-not actively farming for it holding on to the parts waiting for the dev team to upgrade the stats to at least a decent amount-instead of wasting space for about a year-instead of changong the stats they wipe out the quests lolol- same with couple ammons items-:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    So far 158 seems to be okay. The added gem bonus was nice. The few PW maps I've run so far are nice. The gear drops are okay, still too many green, but that was expected. The lack of ess drops do stand out (but maybe my luck just hasn't been good).

    Having to re-run through the each map1 to map2 to the boss map isn't my favorite part, although I do guess it keeps people from just farming purples all day long (no reason to make the players too happy).

    The boss in Loxley caverns seems to be harder than Arachna but maybe that is just me. The little respawning spiders are a tad annoying, but it did make for getting the 2150 kills easier.

    What I do miss is being able to farm HOD over and over again. Maybe some other maps might be better with the drop rate, but since we have to repeat several maps all the time, farming for gops will be a little tougher.

    I am looking forward to the harder/extra hard versions as long as the reward is somewhat worth the effort. I guess we'll find out soon enough if that is the case.

    New Ammon’s Set
    Ammon’s Set (before release 158) can still be obtained through a merchant in the Splintered City of Cardhun but if you play through NPC Ammon’s quests after release 158 you will be able to obtain a completely new set at NPC Salvendar.

    asking, because it is a dumb question, but where is this new gear ??

    What part of "old items" did you miss :D ? I was talking about the previous kinds of RoD/RoL... the black/white ones from Q1. I know that these new rings are now random boss drops ;).

    1 new item, the offhand, is avail from the vendor right away. As you complete the quest line, new vendors popup near the entrance to each new map that offer an item for sell. 1 vendor and item per map.

    It is just a graphics change. The stats are still the same sort of stats. The RoL still has HP, HP regen, and %HP, and I'd be willing to bet the max values are the same as the one you used to get from Q1. Same with the RoD... Damage, % Damage and Crit Damage, likely the same min and max values as before R158. Calling the ones that you got from the quests before R158 "old" is a little misleading because I doubt the stats have actually changed, just it's icon is re-skinned... If anything, the real "old" rings would be the two from the "Fellowship of Fate" set from before R111 and no one has worried about those rings for over a year and a half.

    Yup, DSO changed it up in Grotto. Few drops, hard to see and navigate, minions are slow to kill.
    Groups are hard to find, and harder to keep. With 3 maps chained together, and different bosses in different maps, the group menu is inadequate for quest support. The tout for guild membership is ironic, considering the entry requirements are strict, and eligible, interested players few.
    It feels like we've been suckered in a bait and switch scheme.

    And the red target on the map feature looks like a health pot in peripheral vision. Change it please.

    Hehe, the "Fellowship" rings would then be even older xD. I know the RoL & RoD haven't changed, apart from visually and drop location, but the existing copie (before 158), didn't overlap with the ones you can now get from bosses, in the sense that, for example, my RoL is still the white one I got from Q1... that's what I meant by "old". My uncertainty related to this topic was whether the previous kind of RoD/RoL would be replaced in people's inventories with the new, re-skinned ones or not, or if they would just be deleted from those who got them pre-158 (which would have not been nice); and the answer came after I downloaded R158: old items stay as they were, unaltered by the implementation of the new ones. I wasn't really worried, just curious.

    Or....

    And I think that getting item from desert event with only 13 dmg is bug because R158. I know that min dmg for items in Desert III event was 10 but....

    [​IMG]

    Also I get "Between Worlds (3/3)" that says: "LF:quest.pw000-finish-pw001-n.s_pw000-finish-pw001-deliver-01". Translation mistake.

    Thus why I have said again and again and again how absolutely worthless the CV system is. BP's newest system is a joke and the CMs spoke on Twitch like it was the best thing since sliced bread.

    I agree with you. As already mentioned here CV evaluate critical hit to low and % critical demage is overrated. What is the point having 300-400% critical demage when it will happened once ina thousand cases.

    This feature is so powerful ... so powerful so it has become Drakensang's Skynet instantly.
    It is still working ... even if turned off in the settings.
