[Kaz_LOTB]

This is the main post to discuss tuning changes that are in an upcoming update.

You can see the details for the preliminary tuning adjustments in the Game Updates forum post.

Some intersting changes coming.
Hallowed Eddie may be viable now.

Venom Talismans are looking particularly nasty!

Pretty solid batch of updates. The increased essence value for the Pumpkins has me wondering if there's gonna be a Pumpkin-themed Sacrifice event, like the Valentine's Day hearts.

Yup's gonna blow a gasket when he sees that there isn't a fix for Goddess Aset's fury.

There actually is. If you see the Max HP fix in the other section, that fix is at the core of what was causing the Goddess Aset bug.

Yeah probably.. but really the luster has gone.. I'm all but gone at this point. The constant pay to play, clearly horrible odds for players, and bugs have gotten to me. Might play more if some of these game-killling bugs are squashed. The BNW cost (assuming reduction) and increased drops are a change in a good direction. As are the adjustment so the super rare talismans, might actually make them worth using for something other than achievements. Just kind of wish the dev direction was more focused on player satisfaction than on the next overpowered thing to sell.. but, what can you expect I guess.

Would have liked to seen something regarding PI + Endure as well to shorten those gawdawfully long PvP battles. but well.. taken 4 months to get Asset's fury addressed.



What is Perfect Health??

Is that new? Have I merely missed it before?

Venom Talismans ? Many characters will be able to match it with Iron Ed, There is a conflicting description on Assasin Hellhound one says 50% the other says 75% what's with that?
And yes Hallowed Eddie is looking great for PVP maybe for me he will be next to shard after Alex,
As for Gunner Mayan Priestess and Warrior Undead Rescuer which for me are fully skill sharded these two extra shards each is adding more burden to an already full time job trying to skill shard characters, it would be nice to see a slightly increased chance of skill shards dropping from their various sources...

Ah, that appears to be a typo. It should be Evil Tongues for the first skill and Into Darkness for the second skill. I'll make a note to get that updated.

Thanks,

Great to see the rare BNW talismans getting buffed and Hallowed Ed for the season. Hope to get a few sets of Venom from a sac event like a repeat of Primordials? Please? They look awesome.

Hey devs. Awesome what you're doing with Hallowed Eddie. Please consider doing that to Grim Ripper and Carriage Rider in future updates.
