Test Server Update Notes 11/1/06, Every Spell you got is Nerfed and Brigs become sad - Page 3

Hmm, some of the headlines are odd.

- The maximum guild level has increased to 60, with new guild rewards and nobility titles. In addition, all guilds can choose heraldry for their cloaks.
- All characters can now wear a second earring. Go, glitter!
- Crafters and consumers alike rejoice over the new secure commission system.

Isn't GL60 part of EOF? I also recall hearing about the commission system in an EOF tour, so were these slip-ups or does anyone know if they actually went to Test?

Chances are they pushed this all to Test since it isn't techinically EoF related. Now if Cloaks and stuff went to test, thats a different story. they didn't though.

Technically GL60 is EOF related, I think they copied these notes from an internal server since some of it shouldn't be on Test.

I agree, I'd like it if they changed flashy throw back to a bow CA like it used to be and then gave us a second ranged CA too with a 30ish second recast.
I'd take that over a random ae avoidance proc that only triggers on combat arts.

Second earring slot is nice. And if they truly did away with fizzles on Test, can I be the first to do the Snoopy Dance of DOOM? Fizzles did nothing but piss me off.

At a level 70, I should have seen enough battles to know the drill so that the spells I use are "old news" and no reason to fizzle. Beginner characters are another story. That would make sense. It seems that Logic was never intended for the Dev payroll and Murphy was. /shrug

I'll bet the stuff going to test is the stuff that will happen in game whether or not you buy EoF.

It is always such a hoot when things like a Manastone fizzles.

Spells, Combat Arts, and Quality Levels
• Most values for Adept III, Master I, and Master II spells and combat arts are being updated. In most cases, they will be very close to what you see on Live. We're able to provide a challenging, rewarding experience based on numbers people are already familiar with.

Equipment Quality Levels
• As a part of tuning raid progression, mitigation and damage of Rare Fabled items have been improved.

Ever · 11-06-2006, 09:34 PM

- Damage, healing, buff effects, and misc. spell / combat art effects have been increased to be the same or close to their Live values for Adept III, Master I, and Master II versions.

Went live on Saturday to beta.

When I saw all my spell values back to normal, I thought it was a bug.
