Hey gang, I have some updates I’ve been working on. Just going to list each with some notes.

We are removing the group bonus to bloodscrip. We felt pretty strongly about giving an incentive to players who wanted to join up and enjoy the arena together, however, it also created an unfair advantage for those that didn’t group up or those who didn’t use multiple accounts. We aren’t removing the bonus 25 bloodscrip though, we’re increasing the ceiling to 300. The currently formula for the arena is 9 * round. You earn +50 for winning. The new formula will simply be 10 * round. Same for winning.

With this update, we’ll be increasing the ceiling in the heist from 260 to 280, but reducing the artifact sellback slightly to average it out to being closer to 300 like the arena. The sewers will also have a slight bonus to the base bloodscrip you can find, which is currently between 15 to 30. It will now be 15 to 32. That +2 will also impact caches. The cap cache will be going from ~20,000 to ~21,000.

The arena will now have some wintery themed opponents for February. Nothing else about them has changed.

The pending TITLE revamp will be going live, with all the Endless titles that were announced last time. If you participated in Endless before the changes and have Legacy stats, you’ll get those titles as well.

We have a new Legendary Bloodrune this run, and matching cloak.

We are going to be doing a new format for a lot of the higher end Mania stuff. Instead of it being a live event, we’re moving the higher end stuff to an automated auction of sorts. We’re also going to be trying out the piles again that you can search for something for bloodscrip, limited to once per character. The reasons for these changes is it was becoming increasingly difficult to be able to do something for everyone that showed up. And it was also difficult for me to run it for 4 to 8 hours, not counting the prep time. There still may be some shenanigan’s, but we also want to make sure we can do more for more players, and automation is the key there. More on this new format soon!

There are also some other things in the works. I am buttoning up some final bits of code, and once I know for sure about some of this, I’ll announce even more!

 


Wyrom, PM


Text of Discord Post follows about the new automated  Mania auctioning:

PM Wyrom:

> duskruin mania
The Mania Event is active.

Current Mania item: a golvern claidhmore
Mania Item cost: 500,000 bloodscrip
It imparts a bonus of +25 more than usual.
It appears to weigh about 12 pounds.
It is not weighted to inflict more critical wounds than a normal claidhmore.
The claidhmore is a claidhmore that requires skill in twohanded weapons to use effectively.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of golvern.

Special Property Details:

This item has nothing more of note.

This is not a teaser on items, just showing you how the verb will work.
