RunesofMagic.com
has released a major patch. We're still a month or so out from the official
release of the game, so look forward to a few more of these, what is included
in this patch:
Patch notes - Version
2.0.0.1811
Arcane Transmutor / Rune System
The overwhelming number of runes that are available in game through
dismantling was higher than initially expected. Because this was seriously
impacting on the initially intended balance, we have made the following
changes:
- The effects of the runes have changed.
- All negative attributes have been changed to
positive attributes.
- High-tier versions of the runes have been
reduced in effectiveness.
- The Potential-rune was more effective than
intended and had to be adjusted.
General
New
- Malatina's Survival Game
A new NPC has been spotted in Varanas: Malatina. She's a clown and she has a
game for you to play. But be aware: If you are below level 15, it might get
too tough.
- For 30 Phirius Tokens (a.k.a. "Bierdine tokens")
Malatina opens a special instanced dungeon just for you.
- In this dungeon you will find a playing field
with 36 tiles. Under 12 of those tiles you might find hidden treasure,
under the rest of the tiles lurks a monster. Don't worry too much about
them, because they are adjusted to your level.
- Around the field there is a matrix of pillars
that can cause considerable damage, when the player enters the field
wanting to search the treasure.
- You have 10 minutes to disarm the pillars and
dig for treasure.
- At the corners there are teleporters to assist
the players - especially those without the ability to tank.
- If you manage to clear at least 30 tiles, you
will gain a special title.
- Should you manage to do much better, you have
the chance to gain 2 more titles that have their very special perks...
- You can only participate once a day in this
event - you can not use Daily-Quest Resets.
- New elite monsters have been introduced. These new
Elite monsters pose new challenges and come with exciting new rewards. You
can find these mobs in:
- Sascillia Steps
- Dragonfang Ridge
Changes
- New aggro alert - alerts the player before the
monster aggros.
- Talent Points: will now show decimals.
- Removed Bloody Gallery opening time restrictions.
- Added auction house success or failed message.
- Servers now are organized by language and sorted
by (number of players / player load).
- Removed the empty gift bags that cluttered the
inventory of Lv. 35+ characters. The gift bags will return again with one of
the following patches. We will then give all players of lv. 35-50 the
opportunity to re-claim their gift-bags. These bags then contain some very
valuable goodies.
- Lv. 40+ jewels are again available through normal
gameplay.
