Wow, spam! If you need help getting your own forums for patch notes, let me know and I'll help. This seems like a twitter feed, not the purpose of this forum.

I have a forums on my site. (I update both) Players who might not have liked a certain feature of Varlyndria can read updates here to come back to it. Plus there is nothing wrong with updating my game threads with info players might want to read. This gets more people to my personal forums and lets everybody know the server even exists. Calling it spam is rather insulting.



QUICK UPDATE - 05/20/12

Experience lost on death has been reduced.
__________________________________________________ __________

UPDATED FROM THE BOXING VOTE - MY FINAL WORD


The vote is over. 2 boxing will be enforced and I am sorry for all the trouble and if this seems unfair.


I've made my mind up. I can't allow players to have that kind of power solo. It defeats the entire purpose of a raid (multiple people fighting together) and allows players to solo raids.. I just can't allow this anymore and its hurting the server. IPs will become 2 max and this will never change.


Thanks for the small pole but ultimately I have to balance the server and allowing that power is not a good thing. I apologize to anybody who feels this sucks or is unfair but giving you the ability to have your entire own raid is eliminating the entire point of raiding with friends and guilds and ultimately crushes the aspect of players working together.


The change will take effect immediately.

I feel the 2 box rule cheats players who were using the original 3 box rule since the birth of the server. I will be putting it back to 3 and it will stay 3. This will also help FAMILIES who want to play on the server a lot more than 2. Sorry for mix up and bullshit. What's not broken doesn't need to be fixed. With this said: Do not ask me for personal favors on changing these rules.

__________________________________________________ ______________
All Thurgadin Velious Armor has been improved in stats.
__________________________________________________ ______________
Most custom items no longer share a cooldown with other cooldowns.
This should fix a good deal of charms or items that seem broken.
__________________________________________________ ______________
All charms now have Rank 1 at the end of them. This is to show
players it's the first charm and you'll be able to upgrade them
in a later update.
__________________________________________________ ______________
Warchanters have a new animation on their charm's proc.
__________________________________________________ ______________
Terrorizers now have their fear/snare as a recourse on their
charm spell. This allows them to toss the dot on bosses or other
creatures that are immune to these effects. In addition, the
spell now deals instant damage along with its dot ticks.
__________________________________________________ ______________
Cryomancers now have their snare effect as a recourse on their
charm spell. This allows them to hit bosses or other
creatures with thier ice nuke even if they are immune to the
snare. This also allows the spell to critical strike, making
the path a lot stronger. The damage of the spell has also been
increased to 475 at level 20 up from 415. This gets it 25
points away from the Pyromancer spell.

Herald: "Extra! Extra! Somebody has reported a vile creature terrorizing
Lake Rathe! Varlyndria need to act fast and get on the move!

UPDATE 05/22/12

__________________________________________________ __________________
Barisons, Adventurers and Conjured Monk/Beastlord weapons have had
their weight reduced from 8.5 to 0.1.
__________________________________________________ __________________
Sage's Robe - now has a 5 second cast time clicky instead of 28.
__________________________________________________ __________________
There is a new NPC which teaches players their skills in the guild
lobby. Special thanks to Xiao for the work on this.
__________________________________________________ __________________
Several clicky recasts have been adjusted and should hopefully work
as the following: Tier 1 charms, Summoned Items, and Boss Items are
now on their own seperate timers. This means a clicky from a boss
item will effect the other boss clicky but not the tier 1 charm or
summon item cast.
__________________________________________________ __________________
Diablo has moved to Lavastorm Mountains next to Najena.
__________________________________________________ __________________
Watertorn items that produce Clarity and Enduring breath no longer
have a 30 second recast and are now instant.
__________________________________________________ __________________
Velious gems are now NO DROP and can't be resold to a merchant.
However, a player may still purchase or win them from the casino.
__________________________________________________ __________________
Magician: Magical Bag Of The Conjurer Rank 1 is now a 5 minute recast
and no longer shares the same recast as the Conjurer's Master Staff Of Force.

__________________________________________________ ________________________________
Barison's Dagger and Diablo's Dagger Of Hellfire now have double the backstab they
used to before.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
Paladins and Shadowknights now have Touch Of Death and Touch Of Life in their
spell books. These spells can be used every 5 minutes and gain level+1 x50
damage/healing These are excellent alternatives to the harmtouch/lay on hands and
can be used much more often.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
Path charm spells are now almost impossible to resist.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
The Terrorizer charm now has a 100% snare as well as its damage over time, but the
fear effect has been removed. (there will be a quick optional use fear clicky on
their sword in update 1.0) The spell is now called Curse Of Crippling Torment
Rank 1. This spell can be used on custom bosses with no problems.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
The Cryomancer charm has been changed. It is now usable every 6 seconds down from
15 but the snare has been nerfed to 50% and the damage can never critical hit. This
still lets them do very close to the damage of a pyromancer and still reign as the
kiting wizard gods of Varlyndria.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
Wildheart's Groves Serenity spell now heals for 40 a tick regen for 30 minutes at
level 20 instead of 20 points.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
Sharphin has changed his strategy a bit and now drops a couple new weapons!
He can be found residing somewhere in Lake Rathetear.
