Warriors!
 
As the frost tightens its grip on the Snowy Bound, a wind of change sweeps across Arinar! We're rolling out a new update to class skill and talent balance, aimed at making combat more dynamic and expanding the range of tactical choices available to you. These adjustments are based on extensive analysis of thousands of encounters, your feedback, and careful observation of class performance in Arenas, dungeons, and large-scale battles.
 
As always, we invite you to test these changes on the public test server and share your thoughts. Some skills and talents may be further tuned based on the results.
 
PvP Status: Version 1.0
 
Heroes of Arinar, a new era of change begins! We're introducing a dedicated PvP configuration system – a major milestone in combat balance that will make every encounter more intense and engaging. Going forward, all skills and talents will have two distinct power profiles: one for PvE challenges and another specifically for PvP combat.
 
Update 13.2 introduces the new PvP status mechanic, allowing us to fine-tune PvP balance with even greater precision using your feedback and combat data.
 
Let's take a closer look at how it works!
 

 
PvP Status in a Nutshell
PvP status indicates whether your character is currently considered part of the PvP aspect of the game. It has two modes: on and off. Its current state is displayed next to your character's – or your target's – health bar. Depending on whether PvP status is active, certain skills and talents will use different modifiers. When PvP status is off, your character takes 80% less damage from the first attack made by a PvP opponent.  

 
Enabling and Disabling PvP Status
 
PvP status is automatically enabled whenever your character enters one of the following locations or activities:
Arena Catacombs GvG events Cup events Alliance events Golden Sands (surface locations of Almahad) Outposts Castle sieges  
In all other areas, PvP status is disabled by default. If you engage a PvP target – whether another player, a monster summoned by a player, or a PvP monster – PvP status will turn on automatically and remain active for as long as you're fighting at least one such target. After leaving combat, PvP status remains active for an additional 6 seconds before turning off. It also disengages automatically if your character dies. When leaving areas where PvP status is permanently enabled – or when entering or exiting dungeons, attractions, or event instanced territories – PvP status will also switch off automatically.
 
Developer's Note: We understand that damage-focused classes currently enjoy a smoother experience in PvE activities. They clear solo content quickly and remain valuable in party play, while defensive and support-oriented classes often find themselves limited to more specialized roles. Our goal is to give heroes who traditionally struggle in PvE more room to shine – without disrupting PvP balance and while preserving the flexibility needed for ongoing adjustments.
 
Looking ahead, we plan to expand the PvP status system and broaden the list of skills and talents that behave differently depending on whether it's active. Future class mechanics and overall game balance will be closely tied to the evolution of this feature.
 
A full list of the skills and talents affected by this update can be found below.
 
Standardized Attribute Limits for Summoned Monsters
 
With Update 13.2, we're introducing the first set of changes to the mechanics governing summoned monsters. From now on, all summoned creatures will share the same maximum attribute caps as player characters.
 
This change applies to the following skills and talents:
Arcane Phantom (Mage's Guild of Almahad talent) Elemental Support (Druid's skill) Water Spirit (Druid's talent, Raging Spring branch) Dead Soldier (Necromancer's skill) Undead Army (Necromancer's talent) Call (Charmer's skill) Chaotic Assistance (Charmer's skill) Spawn of Gloom (Charmer's talent, Spawn of Gloom branch) Particle of Life (Templar's skill) Relentless Defender (Templar's talent, Stronghold of Faith branch) Beast Awakening (Beastmaster's skill) Deadly Illusion (Skill) Sneer of Fate (Skill)  
Developer's Note: In Update 13.2, we are taking the first meaningful step toward updating how summoned monsters function. A key issue with the previous system was that summons could reach significantly higher maximum combat and defensive attributes than the characters who controlled them.
 
This update marks the beginning of a broader overhaul. In future updates, we plan to expand the range of character attributes inherited by summoned monsters and improve the usability and consistency of set skills that interact with summons. Starting with Update 13.3, we'll also refine how summoned monsters interact with AoE mechanics by including them in player-target limits for area skills. When this change goes live, summoned monsters will have a reduced chance of being selected compared to player targets, and their contribution to the target limit will scale dynamically based on the number of players within the affected area.

Developer's Note: This year, much of our work has been dedicated to reshaping the game's balance in preparation for the new PvP status system. We began with the classes that needed a smoother PvE experience, and now, with the ability to fine-tune skills – and eventually entire mechanics – separately for PvE and PvP, we expect class gameplay to gradually become more consistent and enjoyable across the board.
 
We also took a closer look at several classes we felt required more substantial attention. These heroes received overhauled skills, updated mechanics, or meaningful power boosts. Along the way, we revisited your feedback to correct long-standing issues and breathe new life into skills and talents that hadn't been seeing much use. Our goal remains unchanged: to make every class feel comfortable and fun to play.
 
As we move into the public test server phase, we'll be reviewing all updated skills and talents once more – this time together with you. Your active participation is invaluable, and we appreciate every bit of feedback you provide!
 
See you in the next part of the announcement!
The Warspear Online Team
 

Instead of starting PvP changes and any rebalancing from the right place —that is, from supporting new players —you are once again doing everything backwards, completely ignoring the community. The biggest problems have been the same for years.
 
New players have no chance of entering PvP. The difference in gear and enchantments is so huge that beginners die before they can do anything.
 
No sensible level balancing mechanism. Matchmaking pairs newbies with people who are full +10.
 
Still no daily quest for collecting AP.
 
The last league rebalance a 1,5 year ago was a joke.
In other games, your league position shows your skill to some extent, but here?!
 
No meaningful balancing, no real competition, no fair system for someone who wants to get into PvP without spending tons of money.

You guys obliterated paladin there. That was unnecessary

This is nothing more than a giant snowball that has been building up and will continue to build up until the game at some point can't hold on any longer.
 
Intentionally or not, developers have been feeding the "the stronger you are, the more benefits you receive" model. This has caused that at the slightest opportunity for one side to gain some advantage over the other, it simply began to grow uncontrollably.
 
To be honest, I was going to prepare a whole message explaining why this happens, but I feel it's better to just open a whole topic about this and explain it in more detail.
 
In short, elves becoming more attractive to players = more players contributing to the elven economy = stronger elves and now the cycle repeats.
 

I'm glad there are still people striving for this class to improve, especially since we are undoubtedly looking at one of the worst classes in the game. It might be useful in the Arena, but this game isn't 100% Arena, is it? This class desperately needs help.
 
In most PvE content, it lacks the necessary strength to fulfill any role. This is particularly evident when classes like the Warlock, Hunter, and even the Rogue are capable of dealing the same or more damage at range, allowing them to clear enemies or waves without even risking taking damage.
 
The class lacks the area damage required to be an effective substitute in group combat, nor does it have the defense needed to take on multiple mobs simultaneously.
 
In recent years, we've seen how developers have focused the game almost entirely on 1-vs-Many fights.
So, why, in the middle of that process, do they introduce a class focused on a single objective? What exactly is it supposed to do? Deal 30k damage to one mob while 15 others are still alive? It's simply inefficient.
 
Snow is near. Sadly, I gave up and ended up switching to elf, but I still won't stop watching to ensure the class that won my heart gets the place it deserves in the game.

The elves will never look back realizing the abundant amount of op classes they have, when a class comes in that opposes them they come to complain on the forum about the "balance"
 

buff pls,mcs pro now

Dude, if you stop to think about it, what you typed makes sense, the class has no advantage in anything in the game since launch, and the game updates only proved this, I think the reaper has the worst specialization in the game, which would be partial metamorphosis, and it hasn't been changed to something viable yet today, I hope the developers pay attention to the class, because the number of players is very low.

I believe that the reaper was created as an excuse to add the beastmaster
 
That's why he doesn't stand out at all, while the beastmaster does.

Well well well...
I finally got to the forums, and oh boy, do I have some complaints! 
 
Okay, if the bait title worked now I will continue to a constructive critique of some "systems" the game has to offer for a brand new player.
 
I have joined warspear around 3 weeks ago, created my favorite fantasy class, and jumped right in.
 
I've played a decent amount of mmorpgs in my life, so getting into WS was quite easy, a bit of unneeded annoyances (like bag space etc) but nothing too repeling, straight forward kill 8 of those, gather 5 of these, in return get xp and a few coins. Map1 (as it's called by everyone) is easy, learning basics and just seeing what the game has too offer, all good.
 
Now the 1st thing that almost made me straight away just quit the game, is the weapon reward I received in town 3 of map1 I recall? That box also contained these new items I haven't seen before "Enchanting spheres".
Wow! I tought for myself, not only a weapon, but a way to upgrade it! 
(Now if you are a new player, shortage on gold is felt, you barely make enough for repairs at that point) 
And what do we do? Of course we sell our old rusty club and shield(that's what I had) to a vendor, we equip this new shiny 2handed mace! Ready to do some real damage! And now we can enchant it! 
Nice eh?
*Clink sound*
New shiny mace +1
Okay, wowee! That's cool! And I still have 2 more of these spheres left!
*Clink sound*
New shiny mace +2
WOW! That's realy cool! And I see these stars, I assume If I had 10 of these spheres, I could go all the way to +10 or something? 
Okay last sphere and we good to go...
*Clink sound*
SNAP!!
With confusion in my eyes, trying to realize what happened, why was the sound different?
Oh no... 
Oh no no no...
Brand new shiny mace... is no more.
That weapon you worked several hours so hard for killing bears spiders and whatnot... is just dust.
Your a lvl 6, standing there, no money... no old weapon cause you sold it already, and you didn't even try your new weapon... 
And now, you don't know what to do...
(Yea, so at this point I was, na fk this, I'm not making a new character going those 2-3 hours throu same quests. 
And  why was there no info , no obvious info, that you can straight up just loose your weapon/armor from doing this?
As a new player, for me that was upsetting, cause game is kinda fun, but now I'm just stuck without an exit out of this "situation").
Because I was in a chatty mood, I started complaining about this in world chat, and was lucky, a person straight up teleported to me, and gave me some gold to buy a weapon and continue playing. (If mood was different I would of just exit+unninstall.
Also I met a person in the same zone a few quests later, i assume also a newbie, who had the same thing happen, and person just said "this is dumb" and logged off.)
So yea, a big red sign "DO NOT GO BEYOND +2 OR YOU WILL BREAK IT"
Or something like that. Also coming from other games, this is not a "common" thing that gear break when enchanted. So that is NOT obvious. 
 
Fast forward.
 
I'm lvl 15.
With salty wind in the air, smell of fish, and new adventures, I arrive in this new port...
Isrelnort - the ashen coast.
Right away I see way more players then on map1
New vendors show me their vares, that I am instantly eager to buy once I earn the money.
And several quests! 
Now the difficulty change is there, but it was a fun challenge, mobs I needed for quests are few lvls higher, died few times, but had fun!
(Now also a thing new players are not aware of are the xp buffs, from pots, guilds , events and so on.
While I barely hit lvl 15 and was on map2, players arriving there, that have knowledge of the game, were already 16-18, so yeah questing was way harder for me)
 
Fast forward, it took me around 3-4 days to get from lvl1 to lvl 17 and get to last town on map2
 
By this time, I've already heard how cool it will be when I get to this "Ayvo, new map, new content" 
For a long time in games, I didn't feel this urge, intrigue , eagerness to get to new content. So definatly a big plus for that feeling.
 
And here, is where my true problem begins. 
And if devs (gms) read thus, please do consider the perspective of a brand new player that WANTS to get into the game!
Someone who already is hooked up.
 
So, world chat community, most of wich are old players, they do tell you "do yellow quests and you will get ayvo quests" but it's pretty dull and I bet many of them don't even remember how where exactly. Like I only got obscure answers. 
 
Now you get to the end of the yellow quest chain, and (as it seems, or maybe as you were told by soneone) but you still have like 4-5 yellow quests mostly of them are elite bosses, that a new player... just no way to solo, like 0%.
One of them beying Shadow of berengar(aka six shadows).
So that one, people know that you "don't need". 
But you still have no quests in Ayvo.
You start to ask around, being lvl 17, some say
"Na just go ayvo, you should have quests"
others say
"Hmm I think too low lvl"
and some say
"Well, look around you should have lab quest"
(Ofc I have no idea what lab is, for a long time I tought lab is short for the observatory dg in Narr-Shadar)
 
So without knowing wtf to do, I kinda logged out that day.
Next day, I tried to find a grp for those elites I still had.
Out of 5 elite quests, I've done only 1, and that was pure luck, a lvl 24 was passing by, and he helped. 
So, no groups for that content or alts just solo everything and they don't take "lowbies" into consideration (I don't blame them, if u can solo, you just go solo it's normal)
 
Did all blue quests from all towns before.
Experience from those is ... 10xp per quest, lol. I didn't even get half a lvl.
(Reminding I have no buffs at all)
 
About an hour I was looking for a grp for elites, but with 0 succes. Not a soul pmd me. 
So, 2nd day, I log off, with a bitter taste,  that I am stuck...
 
Day 3 , I did all the blue quests again, was STILL lvl17. (Ffs)
And I decide to Google this issue.
From 2011 to 2023 tens of posts about this, all say completely different things.
Seems I need to kill that one elite, to progress... to play the game...
Trying to find a grp, again with no result.
 
Day4, I'm still 17, I'm pissed I wanna play the game!!wtf?!
I start to actively state my inconvenience in world chat. 
Many tell me to "gtfo , just unninstall nub", completely understandable...
At this point, I'm am just running in circles. Stuck, trying to find a grp, getting passed off even more. I log off.
 
Day5
More Google, more whining in world chat, finally a person lvls 32, comes over, helps me kill some elites, quests that lead to killing even bigger elites.
But now I've finally got a quest to go to this "swamp"...
Oh boy, as a new player, swamp is NOT A FUN PLACE! ITS HORIBLE, THE SLIME ONE SHOTS YOU,  TOWERS ONE SHOT YOU wtf is even going on?! 
Then I get told,  I don't need to quest there, that's old content.
 
Okay, phew, that's a relief.
 
But what now?
I guess I'll figure it out tommorow.

Day 6.
Google again. Complain IN CAPS IN WORLD CHAT, everyone has a different answer.
People tell me I actually have to do swamp yellow quests.
3 hours I spend there, without any help.
Without knowing what I am doing.
3 hours, with all equipment broken.
I dont know how, but I manage to find the quest guy, and bam...

Finally!!! AYVO!?!
..........
New Enemyes.
Lab... stands for labyrinth, now I know.

Spending another hour trying to find a grp for lab... I log off.

7th day.
One week I have been the same level.
I cannot progress.
I don't get new quests.
I am frustrated.
I don't want to play this game. This is just not fun...

Oh, I see Finally someone is making a group for lab, I'll pm them right away!!
"Sorry man, 17 too low for old new lab, no tank"

Yep, last straw. Screw this game.

2 days I had no interest in  losing in the game, then, said to myself "I'll give it 1 last chance"
I logged in, and started complaining in world chat...
How these things alienate new players from the game.
"Then quit, unninstall"
I get in response.
Then a kind person, 32lvl , says that they will take me throu lab.
2 deaths and 1.5 hours later.
Quest done!

Omg , now I get ayvo?!?!

.......
..........
No, I get a quest for berengar tower dungeoun...
2011 content, that no one absolutely does in a grp of 5 people, because there are no players that would need that content, and those who make alts just get carried.

I've spent 4 hours asking, begging (pathetic) for someone to help me.

A person wich earlier told me to "gtfo world chat". Now several hours later, agreed to take me there so I will just shut up.
I'm already frustrated af, I don't like the game, I don't care what ayvo has to offer...

So be do berengar tower easy.

NOW DO I GET TO GO AYVO?!
.....
.......
Na man... you need easy... normal AND HARD .... for some mysterious reason...
You need 3 difficulties of a dungeoun
That no one does on any difficulty...

BUT WAIT!!!
Remeber those few quests with elites?
Quests like "Sea monster"
Wich don't even give xp...
They only give reputation... (but I guess that reputation is for older content, right?)
..... rep for older content right man?...
Oh....
Oooh....
So to enter this God forgot dungeoun on normal difficulty I need 650 reputation, with a faction created in 2011?!
That no one cares about...?
Okay... this person helps me.  We go into mc territory,  we kill few these elites... NICE, I HAVE THE REP!
The person who carries me, says they need to go , so we must hurry...
We do normal...
My carry goes ofline.

But I still need hard mode of this crap dungeoun, gaaaaawd.
For another hour I beg in chat.
Another 32 agrees to help...
We go to the dungeoun entrance....

BAM

YOU NEED 1750 REPUTATION...

This carry says "na sorry dude, gwg soon don't have time"
Wow... great.
What a great mechanic, to gatekeep new players...

It's like big billboards saying "New players gtfo we don't like you, we don't want you. (c)
                           Signed: Devs with love"

10 days of being lvl 17, not beying able to play the game, forced to beg others to get carried cause no one does that content...
That's how I felt when I got to ayvo...

My point is, I really think game would have A LOT more new players if not for gatekeeping things like that.
There is no reason to force new players to "expirience" content from 2011.
And hearing how cool is t4 t5 in ayvo, cause that's new content, and everyone there is having fun etc...

I would like to make an analogy with a game I come from...

That is world of warcraft.
And for anyone who is familiar  or played it...
Imagine, everyone is questing/raiding in wrath of the lich king, while new players are forced to complete MoltenCore raid (wich no one ever does anymore ofc) otherwise they cannot progress further in-game.  How many new players would that retain?

So yea, that is the experience of a new player.
Imho that should be cut out.
Like no mandatory swamp/lab/berengar tower. Just end on six shadows , and next quest go ayvo...
There is no reason to force anyone throu that.

I am now lvl26 , ayvo t2.
And still think that "old content" should be optional not mandatory and frustrating for newbies.
(I mean I do lab everyday now, and it's fine, but I'm not forced to...)
I hope devs take any of these in consideration.
And I bet refreshing the leveling experience from 1-15 , with newer content (faster and modern) would attract more new players.

Anyways.
That's my exp so far :)
See ya all in the underwater zone really soon xD
 
 
 

I kind of disagree on it taking extremely long. With ayvondil changes and t4/t3 being super fast to open, you can get decent gears relatively fast. Especially if eventually you'll end up having, for example, 2 chars at that stage, and do pelion on both of them 1-2x a week.
 
While it's true that doing quests isn't going to get you to a high amp instantly, you can pretty comfortably get good enough gears to start doing different content. Especially since most of the gears nowadays are extremely cheap, as long as they're not the most meta choice.
 
Personally i think a big part of why it feels like it's impossible to reach high level content is that there is a really big jump in difficulty from ayvondil t4 to t5/almahad. But it's not impossible, it'll just take some time. You'll need to build a good base for a char: some talents, decent gears and hopefully near max level. That takes proportionally alot more time than anything before that, which is why closing that gap will probably seem like a brick wall for alot of people, especially if they're looking for completely linear progression. 
 
 

Free to play players also can improve themselves without money. Only it takes long time to achieve that. If you are free to play players, I advise you to pick a class that can bring you far without heavy amped equipment. For me that class is beastmaster for sentinels side. You can solo most thing from lab, town 3 and 4 of Ayvondil, once you get level 27 equipment and few expert skills with only low amped. However new players tend to don't know about this, and struggle by picking a class that need constant life steal stats, minion etc, ended up they die a lot doing daily quest, with low damage and heavy hit from monster. Beastmaster is damage, can heal and have tank. Healer is not recommended, you will just spend most your time healing than doing damage to monster. Pick it as your first class if you f2p, so you can easy farm gold and later on you can then create the class you really want to play.
 
Earning gold is sure hard for f2p players. This game is not f2p friendly. It took most of my time to get gold too, weeks and months to finally "play the game". I don't involve with arena and have arena equipments yet, pvp side also another struggle, for now I just focus on my pve. If I wanted to have fun in pvp, I will just play fast paced moba games and spend zero money. Had to create multiple class to just finding some gold to buy equip and expert skills. I spent my time crying too for someone to carry me to do daily lab, but once I reach level 27, it become a bit easier for me.
 
To your third point, it is true. Doing dungeons in this game is not so rewarding. It base on luck. So you can run 1 dungeon and get drop, or do thousands run and get nothing. Low chance of drops, not even fragments exist in this game, or there are dungeon points to be exchanged for equips, would be better for those who spam dungeon and don't get anything. For example, currently, players can exchange arena points and crimson corundom for equips, why not make the same for dungeons. That is why, I don't do much dungeon, I just buy equip from market, so my time playing this game are mostly me doing daily quest and grind gold and repeat rather than playing its content. Yeah it is meh and no fun. Wanted to become pve only player, but that side also meh considering dungeon the only way you get good equips and low drop chance and all. It’s becoming repetitive for me for sure and decide to drop the game at times. And don't mention about knowledge, haven't unlock any main talent, I hope I get it before spring. Just have to do it slow.
 
So yeah, gold that I get doing all that, I manage to create other class as well with decent equip only to feel the depth of that class. The endgame basically the same long run. So yeah, you can do anything, without spending a cent on this game. You only need time. Lots of it, but I can assure you it can be boring at times as you need months to be comfortable at playing.

-Why the devs don't care about the old maps anymore ? 
-Only endgame and endgame.... only for people who are putting money in this game....
-There is no interest in making this game big as it was in the 2012 or early, playerbase is declining.... no promotion or anything for this game to grow.... if there are no new players there is nothing we can do in the first 2 maps...and the game will die eventually, but only ppl who spent huge money will still remain !!!!! 
-They need to make new ways to farm for gold in this game... selling gear is not an option unless you are a very high skilled player allready.... if you are a new player i can't do sh#t...... only after putting some money in this dead game you can do something....
-Let's not talk about the drops in dungeons.... where is worse.... the amount of times you need to do them to get something is insane..... you spend more money in buying stamina... and gain more to nothing in dgs.... but this is a very hard way to make gold..... no mobs or boss drops gold la 5 to 10k or maybe i don't know that because..... I NEED HIGH LVL GEAR AND NEEDS TO BE AMPLYFIED TO -DO SOMETHING BUT OH WELL I HAVE NO GOLD, because there is nothing to do to get gold or ways to get my gear, craft takes too much time and resources......
 
SO FOR SHORT YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO IMPROVE URSELF IN THIS GAME UNLESS YOU PAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

We speak of their main income item; I believe you'll hardly see any reworking in this sense. 

This need a rework. I'm sorry but please add something that guarantees or increases % chance of amplification because i can't stand to spend 400€ on a weapon just to see it's still +9

Should of stop for the 2nd weapon when you saw it didn't go up after bunch of sings, you got soft locked( thats what we call when item doesn't want to go up) but yea amp system need rework and also they need to show the % of success for different lvl of amps.

Shouldn't be problem for a rich-in-ws guy. I do amp 2h weapons much more easier. There are proven tactics of how to amp, so meh

Yooooo that's over $100 for a one handed weapon. 
 
No no no, we know you wasn't happy with all that spending and grinding. 46k is still too much to expect. This video is proof of how this game is a full blown scam.

Players still don't see the scam in this game. 

proof amplifying need rework
 

This is nothing more than a giant snowball that has been building up and will continue to build up until the game at some point can't hold on any longer.
 
Intentionally or not, developers have been feeding the "the stronger you are, the more benefits you receive" model. This has caused that at the slightest opportunity for one side to gain some advantage over the other, it simply began to grow uncontrollably.
 
To be honest, I was going to prepare a whole message explaining why this happens, but I feel it's better to just open a whole topic about this and explain it in more detail.
 
In short, elves becoming more attractive to players = more players contributing to the elven economy = stronger elves and now the cycle repeats.
 

This should be a motivation to grind PvP set and fight back! 

I forgot that this already exists, it's a talent from the Assassin's Guild branch so it's already included, in a very poor way but it's already included

It's no secret that Revenge is simply a completely useless skill. In addition to the low reflex, the target can Resist, Block, Dodge and Parry. Therefore, I come to give a suggestion: 
 
 
Type: Passive
 
When taking instant damage, there is a 20/25/30/35% chance that the character will deal damage equal to 75/85/95/105% of the physical power to the attacker. The target hit receives the negative effect "Vengeance" for 3 seconds, the effect reduces by 15/20/25/30% the "Attack Speed". The effect can only be activated once every 2 seconds. In Demonic form, the chance of the effect being triggered increases by 2% (Up to 10%) for each attack received, resetting whenever the skill is triggered.
 
I think making it a passive skill would be the best option. Still a reflex skill, but much better.
