[2017.08.21] Update 7.1: Guild Castles. Preview.

[Gladiator 1013]

I don't understand the point in many fixes.

- Why nerf Warden's damage instead of defensiveness, although it was the complain-worthy part, its damage was pathetic already.

- Reserves heals more than 2k, what's the point in nerfing 2 seconds only.

- Counter attack: Come on.  Either chance or damage would've been enough, not both.

- Paladin has the lowest HP among all tanks. Why do most of his skills depend on HP? Why not magic? Why not increase his base HP at least to make fair with other tanks.

 

Otherwise everything is fine, I like that you buffed so many useless skills. And the skills combos are nice too. Keep it up.

Agree, although I don't use paladin, I can kill all of them.

Can you give us the amount of health regeneration at each level?

Bro when you know the answer please pm me

[Viikate 0]

I dont undertand you guys, why do you are so mad about counter, its still weak. It attacks 80% received dmg so considering bd is a tank, it has high defence what makes dmg from this skill low. And the more bd is amped the less dmg u get from counter. 

 

It also might not work in this way and deal 80% of dmg not including deff reduction, but i dont think so.

[ladylt 0]

all go play elf side thats the true :D this is how they make warspear in every update worse and worse soon 5players will left in mc side

 

[Liidert 72]

According to me, this is an update for all people finally  

New dynamic event seems just like the carnival one but I don't understand if each hero should kill the specific mobs or the entire guild (without making a party).

@Daria, can you explain better about this? 

About skills corrections I'm happy for Bladedancers and Druids (I bought Power of Water for 25k during the last event ).

 

[koszpl 27]

All changues seem cool i expected a bit more of class balance/nerfs.

 

Warlock passive definitely shouldnt have been buffed the double of what it was before... also giving them heal burst after stone skill is overkill

 

Giving two extra pets to Charmer ( i think cd is 15 seconds from what i saw on russian topic) is too much on their current state. They can stack their OP passive before fight. It also heals them, they will heal more than shaman/druid with 2 bird + normal heal??

 

BD counter does not seem that strong, need to see it on action, seems balanced skill

 

Giving even more burst to rogues may need hot fix if is too much

 

Druid song nerf was deserved, they got other buffs

 

Ranger looks interesting now and could be less frustrating to play with

 

Necro and Mage changues look cool 

 

Warden nerf deserved

 

Seeker may be a god on PvE now, on PvP it all depends what amount of power inner rage gives them

 

I wont comment about barb getting buffed and DK not getting nerfed, seems some developers playing those classes on russian servers, have fun devs

I don't want to complain about skills before release of update (seeing is believing actually) .....

Ok so WHERE IS THE CASTLE we all were hyped about !!!!!??? 

[Xpaul 0]

Stone Body: Action time is changed at the 1 and 2 levels of the skill development. It was 5-7-8-10, and now it’s 4-6-8-10 seconds.

From the 2 level of the skill development, healing effect is added, when the skill is used. Healing amount depends on a skill development level, magic power and level of a hero.  

What is the amount of the heal effect at each lvl? can you say that to us?

Additional expert skills

 

In the latest update we added four new classes to the game with all basic and 5 expert time skills. It's time to add missing expert skills for each of the new heroes!

 

Guard

 

Guard’s Protection: Buffs an ally with Guard’s Protection for a limited period. Guard’s protection decreases damage received by an ally, but this damage is transferred to the player character. The effect stops working as the character’s health amount reaches a certain percentage of their maximum health.

 

Switcheroo: Swaps the character and an enemy while slowing down the character for a period of time.

 

Seeker

 

Inner Rage: Boosts the character’s physical strength while lowering their health by a certain percentage.

 

Bloodthirst: Blow that deals physical damage to the enemy. The character also restores percentage of their maximum health if enemy is affected by the Bleeding debuff.

 

Hunter

 

Hunter’s Mark: Buffs the character with the Hunter’s Mark effect for a limited period. Decreases the attacking enemy’s physical defense for a limited time. Can be applied multiple times to a single opponent.

 

Pathfinder’s Arrow: Shot that deals physical damage to a target and to all enemies within a few yards from the target. Every subsequent target receives 10% less damage.

 

Charmer

 

Chaos’ Help: Summons a monster to the character or an ally for a limited period of time. The monster restores the certain amount of character’s or ally’s health every 5 seconds and deals magic damage to the enemy.

 

Energy Manipulation: A magic attack which transfers a certain percentage of the enemy’s maximum energy to the player character.

 

Corrections of the existing expert skills

Harad's Call: the basic cooldown time was reduced from 30 to 25 seconds.

Reduced the repulsion range from 3 to 2 yards on levels 2-4. Changed the time of Stun effect on all skill levels from 2-2-2-2 seconds to 1.5-2-2.5-3 seconds.

AIGRIND

 

 

mostly everything here looks good! But a few things worries me or have questions about.

 

blindfire and frostbolt will stun for how long?

 

barbarian nature, glad to see it last longer and less coldown!

 

power of relaxation and shadow sphere drains how much? And shouldn't power of relaxation maybe be changed to: If hp is 95%-90% then the bonus is lost. Since you have made reflect rune a thing. Otherwise I don't see this being used at all.

 

forest song range is now 2. We all in pvp cave appreciate that!

 

counterattack is back I see, tho not as op (over powered) as last time but interesting.

 

other then that. Great work!

[Necromaa 45]

I am not even sure if you are going to post this!!

but honestly bds didnt really required any upgradation. With new tank classes elfs have become even more stronger and now u give counter back?

 

i see many elfs crying here about skills fix but i think they have somehow got that habbit of crying and getting everything. 

 

Just one simple question from game developers: why you make it worse for people playing on legion side. Many have quit coz of these nerfs and coming future even more are gonna quit. Do you see the ratio of mc vs elf in wars at US SAPPHIRE? Why even create mcs lol? Just keep one side running which will keep the game going on i.e elves

 

sorry for such comments but you make mcs weak in every update

Vocês deveriam aumentar a cura da habilidade selo do sol, do paladino. Já a habilidade defesa da luz, além de aumentar as defesas física e mágica também deveria absorver uma quantidade de dano recebido pelo paladino e diminuir o tempo de recarga, porque a habilidade demora 90seg pra recarregar. Vocês transformaram o pala no pior tank do jogo. Até desanimei de jogar.

So...I'm not very good at English but here it goes...

Bros and sis's dk with the reserves its almost immortal...its becoming more and more difficult to fight against them (and I am one)...you are giving back bds counter...really!?! do you forgot why you nerfed it? so he just activates counter and activate shield and when its over use hamstring and anyone, anyone is dead...do you at least test these "fixs" you do? We all complained about the wardens skill "fortification" because of its infinity (there is no more war to the legion side with 10 good wardens participating) I challenge you adm to raise one warden and you all (the others) try to kill him with fortification and unit master maxed on (with full block equips)..real bros I dare you... charmer...aff ...what to say...the don't even need to fight anymore he just spawns the pet and stuns you and run and you are done because the pets damage are pve and most arena guys are pvp and mob pve status and most arena guys with ferocity and you give him one more that heals and deals damage ( remembering that he has some good stuns and it own heal)? think with me ham...Lock...stone body heals...OMG..no  comments (infinite stun and if you miraculously escape from hit he hides on stone body and heal...waw!!!)...Paladin...keep going...keep improving his stuns options, time and effectiveness you're doing good job transferring warlock with tank deffs to the chosen...ranger...bros don't do that please " continuous point shooting" OMG, but good for them, but reduce the damage dealt by "bow strike"...druid...and you keep increasing his stuns, really don't know why, and by the way, review the healing barrier (I think that its kind of unfair an 50 dmg hit increase his hp by 400)...priest..where is the elusive threat nerf???(make it reduce only hp or it effectiveness)...Necromancer ... finally another heal (a skillful one but its good) but please review the energy retribution relic on the sleep skill (fatal combination for anyone) ...mage...not complaining about this one he need more pvp options good work...finally rogue...I saved this one for final and I only have one  thing to say about him... REVIVE HIM PLEASE they are ending ( migrating or deleting)...about the other I have nothing relevant to say they need the skills (and I feel very sorry when I think about seekers..they s*ck)...And I really believe that all adm are sentinels...I really do..and I'm not the only one....my best regards

Guild events is interesting , but i did not get how does it work actually? It starts periodically in sometimes or appear in random times ?

[Gubs 1]

PLEASE BUFF RANGER BITTERNESS, it's so unbalanced against mob groups and reflect rune

Besides from this, thanks so much for reviewing old skills instead of just adding new ones! Appreciate the new balances!!!

[Ghostv 9]

Lmao. Nerf on the Warden's damage 

Yeah, 'cos everyone was complaining about Wardens killing towns. Gotta nerf those assassins

When lvl 30 will come?

Just now, Gladiator said:

Eu não entendo o ponto em muitas correções.

- Por que nerf Warden's damage em vez de defensiva, embora fosse a parte reclamante, o dano já era patético.

- As reservas curam mais de 2k, qual é o ponto em apenas 2 segundos.

- Contra-ataque: vamos lá.  Qualquer chance ou dano teria sido suficiente, não ambos.

- Paladin tem o HP mais baixo entre todos os tanques. Por que a maioria de suas habilidades depende da HP? Por que não a magia? Por que não aumentar a sua base HP pelo menos para tornar a feira com outros tanques.

 

Caso contrário, tudo está bem, eu gosto de que você esgoteu tantas habilidades inúteis. E os combos de habilidades também são agradáveis. Mantem.

Concordo com tudo o que você disse sobre paladino.

Know what? I had deleted counter atack from my experts since from 1300 damage was 100. I think it must find a place in there again.

Bloodthirst: Blow that deals physical damage to the enemy. The character also restores percentage of their maximum health if enemy is affected by the Bleeding debu

Ok do this skill depending on bleed dmg, skill development or both?

dk was too op naw with  continous stun and silence skill and naw u buff more improved..  idk how to survive anymore against them even in high amp gear

[Togela 2]

No , Aggro on charmer skill? It's like no point use heavy armor , shield , and mace? Since mace doesn't do much dmg,,  or this just for soloing the boss with so many minion around you? And I doubt that charmer new skill doesn't heal much since charmer can use heavy armor, 

[skypirate 2]

Warden expert "Unit Master Totorial' not reduce ?

[Lazylion 66]

@Daria@Peter_Munk What will the max be for crit in %? i heard it caps at 50%, but now with priests being able to have gods help on for 24/7. They can reach 58,9% crit as max i believe. 43,9% from gear and 15% from the skill at 4/4. Will the crit cap be increased or will i waste skill points when trying lvl it?
