Early Access Hotfix #78

1 月 24 日

Hi Adventurers,

This hotfix prepares for the start of the Adventure Leaderboard and Arena test seasons. In preparation for the Arena season, we have made some minor class balance changes including the addition of shapeshift cooldowns for the Druid class. We’ve also updated the Arena MMR calculations to be a bit more predictable. We also introduced a new sash item that can be purchased from the Tailor in preparation for the upcoming opening of the religions.

After careful contemplation we have decided to reimplement the lowered gearscore bracket. In addition to concerns about the risk/reward balance affecting onboarding, a major influence in the decision to remove the brackets was a concern that the newly implemented Rookie system would split the population too much, leading to emptier lobbies. The data we’ve collected over the last week shows that usage rates are better than expected and suggests that we should be able to support lower GS lobbies with sufficient players, albeit with longer random matchmaking times.

The lower gearscore brackets weren’t so much about providing a great onboarding experience for new players, (our data suggested otherwise), but to give players of ALL experience levels a way to play the game with a lower entry barrier to combat. For onboarding new players, we are seeing promising results with the new Rookie system and have high hopes with the upcoming tutorial map. As for the low barrier to combat, we had originally seen this bloodthirst for combat as a deficiency of our risk/reward balance and detracting from our original vision. Although we still have some concerns regarding the risk/reward balance, we now understand that the lighter experience provided by the lower GS brackets offers big value to a large segment of our community, regardless of time played.

We now believe we can make the lowered GS brackets work in tandem with our Rookie system and will be testing their return with some fine tuning and balancing. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we strive to improve the experience for a wide array of players. We look forward to a great Adventure and Arena season and we’ll see you in the dungeons!

Early Access Hotfix #77

1 月 17 日

Hi Adventurers,
Our plan this season is to continually expand the Random Dungeons system to work with more and more locations. With that in mind, we have now applied the system to the Inferno map. Adventurers must now explore and traverse the modified modules of Inferno to find the Ghost King’s lair.

We have also decided to adjust the matchmaking pools based on the result of recent player behavior. The continuous matchmaking (CMM) system has greatly improved player agency when it comes to risk/reward decisions in the dungeons. However, as a side-effect of the new risk/reward relationship, the current gear-score divisions have started having the opposite effect of what we intended. Instead of serving as stepping stones for newer players, the lower gear score divisions have become killing grounds with bloodthirsty players having little to lose.

We want to rebalance the risk/reward factor and return a sense of danger and decision making when assessing combat situations in the dungeons. We don’t want the default decision for players to simply run headlong into battle. Therefore, we have decided to test the removal of the lower gear-score lobbies in their respective Normal and HR matchmaking pools. We feel that this change is reasonable since players now have more agency than ever to get out of sticky situations without gear-score being the deciding factor.

We still want to foster new players as they learn the ropes in the more dangerous dungeons. The previous gear-score divisions served as a poor way of on-ramping new players. Instead, we will now start testing a separate matchmaking pool for newer players. We’ll continue to adjust these new matchmaking pools to give ALL players a good balance of risk, reward, and progression.

On the balance front, we have made improvements to lesser used class skills. Please note that the current Winter Holiday Event will end after maintenance on January 23rd. Jolly Nicholas will be leaving so be sure to use your Candycanes and Gingerbread Cookies soon! Finally, we have implemented the platform migration feature for legacy Blacksmith users who wish to migrate to a mainstream platform. We thank you for your patience and see you in the dungeons!

Never have i seen such a great game with amazing potential absolutely ruined by its own development team.

Devs constantly add in things no one asked for, remove them, only to re-add them back in such an insignificant way you'd wonder why they would even bother. It's gotten to the point where each time they announce a hotfix, 90% of the player base even wonders if they did anything and have to test it themselves to see the actual changes.

The devs are so utterly clueless, in patch #69 they basically flattened the curve for all item rarities, making it so that you could just spawn in with squire gear for free that could be better than the highest unique items with less than 1% drop rates, essentially killing any form of looting. The game dropped to less than 5000 players and they very quickly reverted all the changes.

Also, if you're a new player, good luck, since anyone still actually playing this game has hundreds of hours and will 100% womp you. Which, doesn't even matter in the long run, since they removed gear brackets for non-legendary players, meaning if you find even an epic weapon, you wouldnt be able to bring it in with you next game since its gear score is too high, basically forcing you to buy the game if you didn't own it already.

At this point it would be better if they just sold their IP rights to some other team that isn't a group of chimps.

Hi Adventurers,

The recent wipe added multiple large systems which introduced a lot of smaller bugs and instabilities. We’ve focused this update on bug fixes and improving overall stability. We’ve also had time to digest the new Sorcerer class and the current game state to introduce several balance changes. We have been working in the background on improvements to the continuous matchmaking along with augmenting the random dungeon system and should have progress to show you soon. We thank you for your support and see you in the dungeons!
