Varlyndria: Ascension - Fall of the Gods Expansion - Fall 2013

[Drakiyth]

EDIT: All enemies no longer summon players to them anymore. It caused too many issues with ping ponging around
for casters.

UPDATE 08/30/13 - MORE COMING SOON


GENERAL FIXES
• Your characters now earn dedication points based on their Gear Score. Dedication points
start at 5 and go up by 2 for each 250 points of Gear Score you have earned. This change
was to keep the flow of progression solid and reward players for getting stronger by giving
them access to higher and higher dedication items they can use at a much faster pace.

• Moozilla's Breastplate now works correctly but you need to unequip it and log out and put it
back on for the effect to work. If this doesn't work message a GM and have them get you a
new one which will work for you. (tested)


CHALLENGE FIXES (SERVER NEEDED MORE CHALLENGE/COWBELL)

• Items now have less mana and endurance and way less regeneration to bring back some
challenge to the game with spells and disciplines not being unlimited.

• All enemies now give heroic points based on their HP. The formula is
Enemy HP /5000. Bosses/Overlords no longer give what they used to.
This change is so players can start earning these points for donator
items early on and balances them based on hp now. Only PR2 or higher
mobs give heroic points. If you fight any normal or PR1 mobs you will
see that you earned 0.

• All normal non-custom zones are back to 1.0 experience up from 0.1 because of the fix to
mass zone pulls with mobs summoning players.

• Reduced the exp mod of the old raid style zones to normal exp zones
as it should of been since they aren't raids any longer.

• Demolisher of Dreams now has a 25% chance to drop his unholy relic
down from 100% because of his new spawn chance.

• Increased the experience mod up to 0.4 up from 0.3 because of the summon changes.

• The Regeneration PER tick is once again back at 5% instead of 10%. Downtime was just too
fast with 10%. This is also another challenge brought back into the game.

NEW CONTENT COMING SUNDAY! ADVENTURE INTO OLD SEBILIS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FROGLOKS!






QUICK FIXES - SERVER RESTART 08/30/13

• That summoning change has been reverted. It made almost everything
impossible to solo for casters.

• Reduced the aggro radius of mobs to 30 down from 60+.

• Mana and Endurance on items has been increased by 30%. The last change over-nerfed mana/end too much.
This should make things a bit better but not crazy like it used to be.

NEW AUCTIONEER! YES! AN AUCTION HOUSE!

Natedog's amazing creation! Come check this out in our bazaar!



NOTE: This auctioneer has all the items you posted before with the last custom bazaar!


EDIT: Natedog is hard at work to bring more features to this badboy like searching for stats
and more. The awesome thing about this guy is he is able to be changed on the fly with no
source code to deal with! More to come!



HERE COMES SEBILIS LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! ARE YOU READY!?

The server will be coming down later this evening to release the new Sebilis zone that
will surely challenge a group of 3000+ Gear Scored characters.

Sebilis is going to have less drops per kill than other dungeons to make the new tier very
sought after and only bosses will drop the good loot this time around. However, the trash
mobs will drop quest items and there will be a lot of quests in this place. Also, there are 8
bosses to find and 17 different types of mobs in here to challenge you to the fullest. Many
npcs in this place are loaded with path abilities and if you dare try to run and collect them
up you'll be in for a world of hurt. It's advised to come into this place with a group of friends
lest ye meet your certain doom.

I've put a lot of work into The Ruins of Sebilis to make sure it's challenging, fun and loaded with content. This group dungeon will be live later today.
I had to hold it back a bit from its normal launch date for many reasons.

[Drakiyth]

Sebilis is live! Enjoy all and have fun.

This new dungeon is hard! Just saw a sunbearer AND thane get iced. Can't wait for more players to get on for a full group. Looks like you have a winner here!

[Drakiyth]

Spellblades in Sebilis no longer stack buffs and one shot you. This is not a nerf to the zone's damage and challenge. I won't touch that unless it's 100% impossible to get through. I want this place to challenge all those who said Varlyndria was too easy and no content. Seriously, jump in and give it a whirl now and bring friends. 3000-4000 GS toons will be tested to their limits.
