First topic message reminder :

Well? Tongue

Miasma is gone. Totally scrapped.

And yes, 3mpty, the reason they state is to being ancient spells in line with the standard elements so that metamorphosis runs smoother, but I mean seriously, isn't it easier to just make 4 new metamorphosis avatars than it is to pass off shadows as rocks?

by **Duskcurse** Thu Jun 28, 2012 1:42 pm

WHAT!? WHy would they remove Miasma?

And, I don't get it, they changed the animation the ancient spells make?

by **MorbiusMonster** Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:55 pm

Did they happen to stop and think as to how this would effect quests such as Enahkra's Lament and Desert Treasure along with a great deal of foes like Nex and the Mahjarrat?

Why do the ancient spells have to fall into line with being elemental? If you're using such power, then surely you'd need more rarer runes to acquire them? Leave the spells requirements as is.

Couldn't agree more, Morbius, it really screws up Zaros' history and I hope it doesn't make the live game

by **The Empty Lord** Fri Jun 29, 2012 1:10 am

So what's Umbra called now? Terra? Confuse

How do Chimps and Polypore Staff and stuff fit in?

by **MorbiusMonster** Fri Jun 29, 2012 1:11 am

If any changes have to be made to the Ancient Spells, they should reflect the natures they had in Desert Treasure when used by the bosses. Smoke, Blood and Ice live up to those purposes, but Shadow doesn't. Instead of depleting prayer, Shadow only reduces attack.

by **The Empty Lord** Fri Jun 29, 2012 1:21 am

I always thought that about Shadow. The quest effect seemed to have a much better niche. Wink

Just looking at the page for Torva, the new table for armour looks better. Assuming that's how they will all look after, I won't mind. I'm curious to see what a weapon's stats look like but I've yet to find any.

by **MorbiusMonster** Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:06 pm

Anything else new?

by **Dragon78114** Fri Jun 29, 2012 5:58 pm

Shit, with the changes to the Ancient Spellbook, I'm going to have to rewrite the longest puzzle in Quest 6 of my series! >.>

by **MorbiusMonster** Fri Jun 29, 2012 6:58 pm

Maintain your stances. You can keep it as it is, unless the puzzle directly incorporates the spells.

by **Dragon78114** Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:03 am

yeah. You use Ancient Spells to solve it. Although, I'll wait for the full release to see if it needs changes.

by **MorbiusMonster** Sat Jun 30, 2012 3:00 pm

Beta is still in the early stages, with the final product being released in September. There still will be changes and maybe the Ancient Magicks will only be ammended so that they are more formidable (seeing as you have to go through a Master quest to obtain them, so players don't simply want them being all too much the same as to what's already on offer).

I wonder if Lunar Magic would see changes?

by **Slayer Noir** Sat Jun 30, 2012 10:07 pm

I'm hearing rumors that Desert Treasure is no longer a requirement for Ancient Magic...

by **The Empty Lord** Sat Jun 30, 2012 10:31 pm

I got the impression that Lunar will no longer conflict with combat magic.

WHAT!? That'd ruin the point of Ancient Magic

by **MorbiusMonster** Sun Jul 01, 2012 5:31 am

Bastards!

by **Dragon78114** Wed Jul 04, 2012 12:35 pm

well shit. that screws up EVERYTHING! >.>

by **Slayer Noir** Wed Jul 04, 2012 8:40 pm

It won't make it to the live. It just can't. It's stupid and everyone hates it...

by **Handeath** Thu Jul 05, 2012 3:21 am

But it could anwser the question of how other mages know Ancient Magics...

But I'm worried for the future of spellbooks in general, I've already made my point for differences in playstyle.

by **MorbiusMonster** Sat Jul 07, 2012 3:35 pm

I gave a Beta a quick try. They've cannibalised the spell book, it takes too long to find a specific spell when scrolling down. More to the point, they should NEVER have touched my precious Shadow Spells! NEVER!

by **Dragon78114** Sat Jul 07, 2012 4:56 pm

the combat update was fun. I killed 4 people and stole the flag twice. I'm only 159. Grin

by **MorbiusMonster** Sat Jul 07, 2012 6:16 pm

I would like to fight the Barrows, but we all know that nothing I do at that stage is going to help.

Does exp continue gathering, because I might try ranged combat.

by **MorbiusMonster** Sat Jul 07, 2012 7:34 pm

Everything seems to work alright, I just don't like how you have to press enter to type. There should be an option to allow typing straight away.

by **The Empty Lord** Sun Jul 08, 2012 12:01 am

I wouldn't mind if all of the following:
• Enter or Space - selects the box (can disable this).
• / - selects the box in Friend Chat, / again for Clan Chat
• Any alphabet character - selects the box and inserts the character (unless any alphabet character is used for hotkeys, then all are disabled).
• While any interface is open - box is auto-selected
• Personal Hotkey (default to 'T' while auto-alphabet is disabled)

by **Dragon78114** Sun Jul 08, 2012 4:17 am

that does seem convenient but they might not be able to program the hotkey system like that yet.

although I do agree that pressing "enter" before having to type is obnoxious.

its odd how they made Guthan's and Verac's have the same stats except Verac's has a bountiful prayer bonus.

by **Slayer Noir** Sun Jul 08, 2012 7:42 am

Double wield chaotics. They're epic.

So epic.
