Strength in Weakness
Hello all and welcome back to another Planes of Tlessa release.
This release fixes some big issues with attack:
New Attack Formula.
There is a new attack formula that should make things a lot easier, even in the beginning of the game, although do check out the new additions to tips
This fixes Casters issues with being able to hit as well as fixing Attack and Cast and Cast and Attack.
Because of the way the new formula works, you high level characters in Shadow Plane might find your self, even in the best gear, having a hard time against some of the end critters. This was done intentionally not to nerf you, but you make you look at your gear. Now there are new Affixes that help with some of these harder battles.
New Affix Types:
There are two new types, you can see in the help docs.
- Skill Reduction (Under: Effects Skills -> Skill Reduction (enemies)).
- These do exactly what you think, they reduce all the enemies skills by a %. They do not stack.
- Resistance Reduction (Under: Reduces Enemy Resistances)
- These do exactly what you think, they reduce all the enemies resistances by a %. These do not stack.
These Affixes will be needed for higher level content. It is also suggested for high level players that they go after: Faithless scream of the Damned which can reduce enemy stats by 70% as well as resistances by 99%. (For 2.8 Billion Gold)
The Damage Boost and the Affix Damage do stack.
I am tracking who's online.
Planes of Tlessa has a lot of players who signed up, but a few of them have not been back in months, or even since it launched. Tlessa now tracks when you last logged in. Only I, The Creator, can see this. This will be used to weed out the players who haven't been on for a very long time.
The second phase to this is implementing an email system to email you that you haven't been on for 5 months, in the 6th month if you still haven't done anything about your account (as in logging in or logging in to delete the account, we will do it for you - in the same vien as the way characters delete their account).
Players will be given ample time to respond, should they so wish. You will recieve two email:
- One at 5 months: Something like Hi you haven't logged in for a while ....
- One at 6 months: Something like: Hi, we deleted your account due ton inactivity, you are always welcome to come back ...
The second phase will come in 1.1.10.
New Setting:
This comes from a reditor who suggested a way to turn off the popover for the attack types when fighting celestials and monsters. This can be enabled in the settings page, under the Auto Disenchanting. New Players should take a second to read them before disabling them.
You can read more about this at the bottom of Player Settings
Planes of Tlessa never intended to do a a.b.c.D
release, however these issues around attack were causing some serious discomfort when attacking and using different types. Now players have to optimize their gear around their preferred attack type.
