Feedback Dark Legacy - Content Expansion

I gave up on crafting after the last expansion. It seems like you need a college degree in math and statistics figure it all out. Soul cores, pristine cores, enchantment transfers, crescerite....buying things with clovers, anderment, draken... The attempts I made at crafting were all disasters. And now I'm going to have to figure out a new system. It was really painful after the last two expansions to lose equipment that I had worked so hard for. Fortunately, I didn't make any new friends after my old friends quit, so I won't have that loss. I will give the expansion a try. I'm just going to be realistic about it.

 

unfortunately there are still few news about that CE.
I know it has been already asked and there was no answer (tbd), but since I have some thousands cubes in my inventory, I would like to know if they will be still valid after the CE.

 

It doesn't matter if you have a NASA 500x core computer or a Commodore 64 ... both would be equally unable to run the game code

 

Commodore 64 lol, I am old enough to have used one of those. LMAO With a 2400 baud modem. LOL

 

Good question. They have pretty much answered it when replying to a question whether they are going to update/modernize the graphics. They said they could only go as far as the Nebula engine allows them, which virtually means some higher resolution textures but that's about it.

"We are trying to make the best out of our nebula engine, best as possible... such as higher resolutions, improved 3D textures, etc."​

So, I think the system requirements won't be much higher than now.
But who knows how significant the graphics changes are going to be, and they could also come up with some insane new super complex features regarding gameplay and mob behavior and such, which could set your and my potato on fire, but I don't really think Nebula allows that and I don't think there's enough incentive to innovate the game as much.

 

We don't care about testing your stuff WE CARE ABOUT the punishment our characters will recive because we still don't know the most important questons such as What will happen with our cubes and purple/leg bags. and many many more ..

 

I'm wondering ...

So, what will happen with runes projected for two or more items at once like 4 for HP (gloves, boots & rings) or 2 like resistance (cloak & belt), vigor (amulet & head) att speed etc.

Also, how the cores will be refunded - I really hope not in ratio 1:1 because, for example 20k draken core is HUGE amount & effort but only 4 melted pink items ... Will tellurian core be valued the same as draken core, pristine or soul.

​

 

Well, they said there would be higher rune tiers than Supreme... so I guess that's the answer.

I'm wondering that too.

The over-a-week they said they'd give us is enough for that, but I'm afraid that even if we deem the conversion unfair, there will be 0 chance of changing it for live servers. Remember that conversion changes did indeed happen in the past, like with the solstice stars. Funnily enough, in that same update onyx skulls and jewels of rage suffered a similarly terrible conversion as was planned for the solstice stars, because we mistook them for rational beings and used only one primary example of unfair conversion.

 

Whatever happens when the expansion comes out, bear in mind that you own nothing inside the game.
The character/s that you play and all of the loot you strive for and even your account are not of your possession, but are the sole property of BP.
That's what the terms say, and we all agreed to that, so being mad because they're taking things away from you is useless.
If you're really angry and want some sort of revenge, stop paying them, or leave the game.
Otherwise try to suggest improvements and expect no change or worse.. it's been like this since the beginning.

Graphics are the lesser problem in this game, i'd prefer a game with terrible graphics but well designed(game mechanics and logic) and balaced than a game with ultra realistic graphics but crappy content.
Looks like this game lacks both at the moment

 

That is true up to a point.

When there's money involved, the thing is legally complicated, your account is yours but my money is mine, and I can push that way.

It is not the first time that someone who has enough money to pay a lawyer claims because their account or this or that was taken away, and the company returns the account with everything they had, even people who used hack and banned their account for this reason, they complained through a lawyer because there was money involved and the company also had to return the account and they never said anything to them again.

So yes, the account is owned by bp, but the invested money is mine and nobody wants to lose money (not even the one that I have invested and that the company has earned and / or can earn in the future thanks to me), right?

Another thing is that an update (as in this case) that affects ALL players removes something or changes it, there is nothing to scratch there anymore

 

There's a thin line. You're right that players clicked "I agree to these terms" so legally speaking, no matter how much money you spend in the game, none of the stuff is really yours. However, people can at least be angry if BP does not act fair. Maybe, legally speaking, BP doesn't have to, but it's in their own interest that they are fair with their players.

With that said, I think most of the people talking here are hysterical and ridiculous. So what that you lose some runes or whatever? Everything in the game is relative. If they let you have all your precious items, they'd simply buff monsters some more, which would have the same effect, only it'd be less apparent.

True that. I for example like pixel art games so I don't really care if a game has realistic graphics.
I'm afraid Dark Legacy won't bring much innovation to the table. It will probably be the same game in its core, which means: an insane farm.
18+ new maps sound nice, but I reckon they will all become boring soon because there will most likely be nothing else to do than fetch quests and farming :|

 

Well yes but actually no, game is already in fragile state many of the players are concidering to leave because of the CE and if BP starts propagandizing this terms ( and I am well aweare of it because I read them more then once) will not only make more players quit but also the new ones that are coming in this game (if such players even exist) .
Also I don't want renvege on them, I just want to play a game where my progress is not easly deleted by their ape hand and rules are being applied

 

If they can't have a good basis on the game since 9 years to scale from there and not screw the players progress without any sense is not my fault. Is their work to create a good basis from where then implementing the upcoming features, and thats what they are trying to do actually right now with this CE, the basis of their new game, cause they know the old (present) game is trash and needs to be changed or they are gone for sure.
The question is: will they achieve it? In that case, they needed 9 years, wow.

 

If i didn't a pristine core craft before that CE, never more could unlock these recipe ??

 

i think every item that you want to use in Dark Legacy you must use one time with pristine core...now i dont knoiw if that works with cloaks also.?if you use one time with one cloak you can use it all cloaks ? or for the particular cloak only? this part i think need father explaine i think...for example i have use pristine core in cloak of heroes when dark legacy came can i use herold cloak also or karabossa cloak ?

 

How dare you speak against us?

 

Why there's going to be a restriction to what items we can craft later?This is totally uneeded.Is this only apllied to the items we have now and not to the new items after the ce?This need clarification its too vague.

 

ANYTHING that drops AFTER the CE is CRAFTABLE.

Because they are changing the various enchantments to some amount, those items that you never did Pristine Core crafting with (meaning you put other enchantment on it than what came on it) you won't be able to use on the new crafting table.

I've already seen a rework of enchantments with Gwenfara's Ghostly Shroud. The enchantments I have on mine, which I Soul Core'd from a previous Shroud is far better than the enchantments that are showing up last year and this year (new enchantments are terrible in my opinion).

I'm expecting some of the same kinds of enchantment changes on other items... Like the Witch Seeker Pauldrons. After the CE, I'm betting that the really good damage line no longer appears.

 

Don't you think it's actually necessary? Or maybe not... For example: Runes of vigor that increase Dmg on item, give you nothing compared to the same runes that would increase your overall Dmg.
I used to have +80% idoti runes in my helmet, which would increase my Dmg 42.7k -> 42.9k; but if they were +80% id, it'd be like 42.7k -> 51k
So, I guess in case of Dmg, enchantment "nerf" needs to be done? Or runes of vigor will be converted from 10% idoti to 1% id? Or both?

 

There's a big "issue" in survay :

One of the most important questions don't have the answer for which I am 100% certain it would be mostly chosen!

WHERE is the BOTH checkbox!?!

Yeah, pvp is now in moba style but I am playing PVE to be competitive in PVP much longer period than since they ruined it till now.
