Hey guys! As many of you know, i was "deathly" ill the past week. K, not deathly, but I had a really bad flu and fever and was bed-ritten for 3-4 days. Thus I was kinda MIA, for many of you this is a very weird experience as im usually on 14-16 hours a day 7 days a week
. I just wanted to let everyone know (despite many knowing already) why I was dificult to contact. And felt I should give you guys a spoiler on what we're working on!
Just a quick reminder, everything below talked about we will be discussing in detail and answering questions on in our Q&A Livestream on Wednesday at 12:00 PST (21:00 CEST) So be there! Oh.. we're also giving away 5 Packages of 300 Coins.. twitch.tv/sirknighter follow it now so you dont miss it!
I'm not going to lie.. our developement team is pretty fired up on the new content were working on and the existing content that we're changing. Let's kick it off with a bang. As many of you know, we decided to keep the 400% experience boost for players below Prestige 3 PERMANENTLY! Players just liked it too much and we feel its good for new players and existing players both for speeding up the new player process. Our goal is to get new/players who dont play as much up into the action much quicker than before ultimately creating more action for the hardcore Archlighters!
Next, We're making prestiges 1, 2, 3, 4 AND 5 all 50% cheaper to obtain!
Oh and next? Yea... We're gunna give everyone 2 stat points every 100 levels from 1000 - 2500. This will affect everyone even prestige 10 people, but only one time (you wont receive these stats everytime you acquire these levels after prestiging). That's 30 free stat points. Ummm... Enjoy
Whats next Knighter? Well... From now on, all PvP Events (Team Death Match, Capture The Flag) everyones stats are going to be brought up to a minimum of 80. Yes. Even you timmy with your 3 vitalism and strength, ur getting 80's. The reason for this is we want to make TDM and CTF feel more about working together, not hiding behind the juggernaut 1 shotting an entire team. We feel this is already a big step in the direction of making these events much more fun for everyone. It's important we still allow for someone to excel, that is the point of an MMORPG, to acquire power and use that power, but its not fun when no one has a challenge. We're very excited about this change and the other changes to come!
Exiva now will tell you what NPC or creature the player you are exiva'ing is closest to. This will allow for better tracking of people you are looking for. It will always require some cunning in locating them.
10 more farmlands added. HOLY! Everyone single farm is taken. You guys are crazy. No era, even 4 months into one, have we had no farmlands available let alone little over 1 month into one! I assume thats due to our growing community, but we will be adding 10 more farmlands to cater to this! So everyone who doesn't have a farm yet, Get Ready!!
Things on our Agenda:
Last Man Standing + Warzones (Final testing to be done on Monday). It is extremely important to us that stability comes first for all Archlight Content. What that means is if we feel something is not fully tested yet or requires more balancing, we will take our time to do so. Sometimes things get pushed under the rug while we work on other things however, unfortunatly warzones and LMS were pushed under the rug. However, we're extremely happy with where theyre at and how players will receive it.
Making open-world PvP more interactive and fulfilling for newer players, and undergeared/statted characters!
A Mentor/Mentee program where high prestige players can help out newer/non-prestiged players in simple mechanics like dungeons or quests and both sides can be rewarded for doing so!
Free stat resets for any category below 40 Stat Points!
Working Quest Log to track every quest you have completed, not-completed or are working on!
Story quest chain and lore for Archlight.
Lord Tokens. Some serious fun for the top tier players on Archlight.
Awakening Boots Quest - Ready to go, but letting players progress a bit further, planned to release late/end of january with most of this content.
Protectors of Archlight Event - Ready to stand up in arms together with your fellow archlighters in an event against hordes of creatures? Fight together, defeat the enemies, the farther the server collectively makes it the bigger the global experience + loot boost afterwards - More to come
Adding more legacy houses (12 more to be exact) - These got scooped up fast... We will be adding 12 more!
