Hi,
I've just looted a SilverWeave BA after months of trying to get one and It turns out to be just a /3 ? Is that a 'Feature' on the game ?
-
I believe and was told, that this is due to a bug, its supposedly meant to be damage 13 but an error causes it to loop round at damage 10 and it ends up as damage 3. I may well be wrong on this.
-
If that's the case. Can it be rounded up to /10 by the devs or something like that ? At least 'till it's implemented correctly ?
-
The weapon slash system is a little odd indeed at the moment. The current 10 slash battle axe (not to be confused with small battle axes) is the iron battle axe. I think the highest slash a weapon can reach now technically is 10.9 slash. I there are 10.8 slash swords floating around. I guess that will be tweaked and fixed up soon(tm)
-
There will be no weapons with damage over 11 (10.something will be incredibly-mindboggling-rare). The bug is actually with the rest of the silverweaves, as they are supposed to be more mundane.

So you are telling me that my SW Axe will stay as /3 ? and things like SW Daggers will be below /3 ?
-
That's pretty much what I have been told by other team members :>
-
currently SW daggers are /7.5, I have an Iron Dagger that is /6, I have Trillarian Steel dagger that is /3.7 or something like that, my Iron SS is /8, my Sw SS is /10, ive seen Iron long swords at /8.8. when you -start talking about the new super fast but always miss weapons things start to get silly lol. the system seems a little screwed currently if what you say is accurate Karyuu
-
boohoo my iron mailed longsword of stone is /8.8 and irreparable at rank 20.
-
A lot of systems are screwed currently. The Devs have a lot on their plates.
It'll end up being fixed when they have time, doubt it is high on the list.
-
We need a wipe to fix everything. Going through each weapon and fixing one by one isn't an option (there's thousands of combinations).
-
Should we expect that anytime soon?
And, if so, would it just be weapons?

Won't a wipe hurt the game more than help?
I guess that's more of an opinion but i heard alot of members left after the last wipe.
-
There needs to be wipes, it may cause some players to leave but...well that's their fault :)
Wipes are necessary for the development of the game, players...not so much,
-
I think the sort of people who leave because of a wipe are the sort we're not too keen on keeping. They could be wonderful roleplayers and great people, but they also need to have the understanding that this is a game in heavy development, and wipes are unavoidable at such a stage.
Besides, the people who matter are those who stick around, regardless of technical difficulties.
-
Yes, the wipe...! It will bring the world back into balance, and then we can REALLY play the game.
-
There will probably be more after this one, Eldoth. I'm finaly getting used to them :)
-
The last wipe of over 50 dmg weapons was a good thing, coz it eliminated the main problem and over time it made everything balanced by itself, without total wipe.
-
Yes, I went down on that wipe too. Actually, I do not find the game all that hard to play as a new character. I sincerely look forward to this. Call me crazy... tends to clear out the griefers too. At least the stale ones... sigh. And it is very cool watching the balances come into "play".
:D

Not at all. I've been through a number of wipes, including one where everyone had to start their characters and guilds over from scratch. I think that it makes things more interesting, even though it's a nuisance in certain ways. It actually livens things up a heck of a lot. What I'm not looking forward to though is retraining my character. Levelling up isn't something I enjoy, but it's necessary if you want to get money and solve quests.
I guess that's more of an opinion but i heard alot of members left after the last wipe.
No, I don't think so. At least I didn't see anything that would suggest that.

There were a couple who said they would. Not sure if they did or not, I think most of them are still around.
-
I've been waiting for a wipe for...forever. I'll finally be able to play and not get looked down on in roleplay because of my low character stats.
-
Hehheh, that'll last about a week unless you are going to train yourself after the wipe. I hope you don't get too much guff in-game as it is though.
-
Yeah, i was going to say the same. False hope Suno ;) Maybe instead, your character should recal what he was doing once, that now he feel so weak? ;)
-
A whipe won't hurt me all that much. That is one of the few benefits of being a newbie. ;D Besides, I've heard that the whipe might also get the pants off the smith table. I loathe those pants. :@#\
-
No, the next release will very likely get those pants away. A bit crude to wipe an entire database for a few pants. :)
-
I know, I'm not saying the whipe should be done simply to remove THE PANTS OF EVIL. Im' just saying it would be another benefit added on to the one being discussed.
-
Wipes can actually be a great asset for testing. It gives you the possibility of going crazy and spending all your hard earned stuff on trying something out (say, the magic system), without having to clear up the mess afterwards.

What mess?
-
I believe he means buying stuff knowing that there will be no consequences because everything will end up wiped.
