thread update

Removals/Alterations due to todays update

- Ban all pets, familiars and conjured spirits from entering the ritual site

- increase timers by 50% for random events as they can disappear too quickly if not paying attention

no additions from my last post as all the posts i've read either need to be looked into further or are already listed as areas of improvement, I'll monitor jack the cat roddy and identify ways it can be improved

LOL @ the cat. Just like with the bank deposit chest it randomly wanders away. When I go there the first thing I do is check to see if one of them is visiting the ritual site.

Luckily they were gone long enough for me to finish the 35k soul grind before lvl 99. With only a few thousand left to go, it wasn't worth waiting for another 20% multiplier from the skillcape.

I didn't look too closely, but I think that same cat model can be unlocked as a pet.

I'm not expecting them to change the cat, I just wanted to point out the 'psychology' behind it. To me it was a big troll and definitely not an improvement.

So today I finished earning the required 8,000 XP to get another Talent Point. I got the message confirming this while blasting scorpions in Al Kharid.

After I completed my Daily Challenges, I entered the Underworld to manage the Well of Souls. My intention was to use the two Talent Points I now have to unlock Command Skeleton Warrior. I have 20 Necromancy and I unlocked Conjure Skeleton Warrior already.

I was told "You do not meet the requirements to unlock this talent." in spite of Command Skeleton Warrior being clearly marked as an F2P talent in the Necromancy skill guide (which does have other errors at level 54 and 66).

The only requirement I might not have is access to Tier 2 of the Talent Tree, yet this does not make sense as the only talent at Tier 2 is listed as free-to-play. Why would F2P not have access to an F2P ability?

Clearly, something is screwed up. Yes, I filed a bug report.

as command skeleton requires level 20 necromancy and all the other additional abilities for conjures are members im guessing this is an error and it should of been marked as members content this is mainly based on the assumption all content from level 20 up except for command skeleton is members content

could be wrong but thats what it looks like

Why are we forced to do so many bosses to upgrade armor? No interest in bossing here. I spent a boatload to get the tier 90 armor to bypass the boss requirements for the Kili upgrades. Can't wear it because I didn't do the upgrade achievements with the harder bosses. I truly thought this was a viable alternative to bossing as the tier 90 gear is available on the GE. There should have been a warning of some sort before I doled out about 100m. I think this is an unfair demand to move forward in the skill. Choose your own path? Seems like it's been chosen for me, and it's a dead end. Just my two cents.

The Conjure and Command abilities seem to be designed to work together. First, you conjure your undead minion, then you can enhance the creature's damage output by commanding it to unleash its fury upon the target.

Naturally, the other Conjure and Command abilities are members-only. Conjure Skeleton Warrior is unlocked for everyone at level 2, while Command Skeleton Warrior is unlocked at level 20 - but just for members? This needlessly punishes free players. Why can this first pair of Conjure/Command abilities not function in F2P as they all do in P2P? We can summon these skeletons before we even finish the tutorial, yet once we reach level 20 Necromancy we still cannot use a basic ability that increases their combat effectiveness? Ridiculous.

Yeah, every unlock in the skill guide at level 20 is marked as member content - except for Command Skeleton Warrior. It is reasonable to conclude F2P can unlock this ability by spending the required two Talent Points...but we cannot. For attaining level 20 Necromancy, all I got was a damn advert for membership.

What the hell is the point of even going for level 20 when the last unlock comes at level 13? After gaining the Touch of Death ability, why should free players bother to proceed any further with Necromancy? Quite disappointing.

At least level 20 Archaeology gave us access to the steel mattock, FFS.

"Wandering Souls can be dismissed during Rituals when clicked without the need to click multiple times. You only need to click once!"
"The fixed camera angle for the ritual site has been adjusted to give a better view of the components behind the pedestal."
"Picked-up regular ashes will now be transported to Bank while wearing Tome of Um 1 or Tome of Um 2."
"Depositing All into the focus storage will no longer give an error message."
"Added spawn audio to Shambling Horror and Corrupt Glyphs."
"Increased the brightness of the Wandering Soul and Shambling Horror.
Slowed down the speed of the Wandering Soul."
"Moved pop-up text from when random events spawn and despawn to appear over the random event, rather than in the middle of the screen."

Thank you for all of these! Great fixes :D

On the livestream they just said the xp from random events will be cut in half, but not next Monday. Probably after that.

I reckon it would be silly to ignore this warning. :p


Awwww man :(

If they absolutely have to nerf them, they should keep the xp the same but make them less frequent... it would be more relaxing.

It seems a bit unfair though: Loads of people already maxed taking advantage of the current rates, why make it slower/harder for the rest of us?
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
