Feedback Community Letter Release 213/14

That is because it is the least special of the plants and can be found in literally any dungeon that has harvest points.

 

Hello

Hello
What happened? I have this ander weapon with gold critical and i see it is weaker than wolf one (wolf weapon is not mine and has no gold critical..)..
I'm sure i checked it at T0 and it was better than wolf wand.. is it some bug or they have changed something in the meantime?

 

Exactly.
I am already doing a report with all the craftings from all the items and their respective upgrades ... I am about to ask the devs some nasty questions.
Because it all looks like a scam to me
I already lost few weeks (and resources) ... and I will need some more time into preparing the report, because it need to be done in proper way.

 

The problem is that the mechanic of displaying of item properties does not match the mechanic of item properties.
Item definition contains base enchantments, which scales with item tier. It also contains "CriticalRating" value which does not scale with item tier. The problem is that "CriticalRating" valie IS USED for displaying of item properties, but IT IS NOT USED for calculation of real item property. Let's depict this using Robust Norsland Staff:
- base value critical hit rating: 20
- "CriticalRating": 20

Level 55 scale factor: 40
T0 min / max power factors for unique items: 0.575 / 0.775

The REAL possible critical rating value:
- min: 20 * 40 * 0.575 = 460
- max: 20 * 40 * 0.775 = 620

The DISPLAYED possible critical rating value:
- min: 20 * 40 * 0.575 + 20 * 40 = 460 + 800 = 1260
- max: 20 * 40 * 0.775 + 20 * 40 = 620 + 800 = 1420

Wand of the Wolf Slayer:
- base value critical hit rating: 40
- "CriticalRating": 0

The REAL and DISPLAYED possible critical rating value:
- min: 40 * 40 * 0.575 = 920
- max: 40 * 40 * 0.775 = 1240

EDIT: fixed last value (1420 -> 1240)

 

Exactily.
That is what my testing showed up so far. I had to do it the hard way by upgrading different items with different stats (and spending resources both TS and Live server too) , so I could come to the conclusion:

 

I hope they fix this weapon with release 215. I spent a lot of ander to get it and resources to upgrade from T0 to T8... It's like when you buy a baby rottweiler and after growing it turns into chihuahua
Good luck with the report!
Thank you

 

Doubt it. From all the hints dropped so far, R215 will be a bugfix release focused on fixing everything they broke in R214.

 

Dear Drakensang,
I wish know, after fix, what is a critical bug in crafting system.
I think we need more info after thousands and thousands (over 1kk for me) of gold spent and personally after 2 craft in which I lost 4 platinum lines (each one).

And I wish know when comes new releases or we must waiting other 6 months for another release full of bugs?
2018 was a years without big events (only 2 Dragans in the first 5 month then nothing, no dark dwarf, no sewers, no new events...all for one isn't an event like anniversary)

 

7k gold spent yesterday alone .. my questin is why werent we noticed before so we dont craft.......

 

I think this is about the full gold lines random crafting.

 

I can't craft 4x gold lines in weapon/belt and other people craft easy 4x platinum. What is wrong?

 

You are far from the only one that has not gotten 4/4 gold lines, let alone platinum lines.

The random number generator decides when the lines pop up. DSO will never explain the seed number programmed in the rng, so you simply have to wait until your number comes up.

Of course some will complain that it isn't fair that some people are lucky and some are not, but that is simply how life is.

 

crafted a 4x gold belt in beginning of August and used that on belt of zeal, while my bearach belt was stuck with 37% since June till 2 weeks ago, is how long it took me to get another 4x gold belt for the bearach belt
Full gold weapon has taken me about a year.
Both those items took insane amounts of gold and effort.

 

I agree! It's very hard and tedious to farm for cores, especially tellurian cores.

 

Tellurian cores are easy. Kill (ideally inf 3) beetle for keys, kill (ideally inf 3) asar, get tellurian cores.

 

It's better to kill painful (or at least one of the lower modes) for cores. You'll kill it really quickly anyways and you'll save lots of keys.
Of course it's a different story with the crafting ingredients...

 

It's better kill beetle in great desert inf3 and any boss innormal world in lethal so you can get also ingredients for green gems

 

Yep, totally didn't even think about the ingredients.

And totally didn't think about fatal mode...

For cores by themselves, painful is the most efficient, and if you don't need any items from any of those bosses (like a cloak), nor you have any royal gems (or have all of them upgraded already), painful is really your best choice.
