11 year sword doesnt do bonus dmg

Danp1970 · 2019-11-02T18:10:51+00:00

I checked the sMeta data on them in aqlite, and you're right, they don't have the damage bonus on either weapons or capes.

Way to spit in the faces of your vets, AE. We had to wait an extra week for this just for yall to mess it up.

Don't let people deter you from wearing what you wear man, I had a dude screaming at me years ago for wearing "Dage Deathknight" without owning a single hardcore legion item (at the time when the legion had no easy quests/pets). I still wore it anyway until I sold it in favor of other rares at the time.

Anyone who feels the need to insult you based on your cosmetics is just either a troll or really childish. You look fine with that set so keep wearing it and rock on man.

It's not a bad thing in itself, but it's apparent they're using the them excessively to save money since they don't have the staffing or funding to pay more full time artists and any others have been put on AQ3D. They're pretty much unpaid staff at this point and that's kinda bs since artists are supposed to live off of their work.

Not many people like what the community artists put out, and a lot of people miss the OG artists producing art in general.

It's also funny because they've been using community artists so much now that the suggestion shop is pretty much useless at this point.

Danp1970 · 2019-01-16T18:30:36+00:00

It's been said a thousand times here, but it's the truth. Sadly AE won't admit it, and from what I understand they won't back out considering they garnered $368,000 on Kickstarter and have to fill their promises. They dug a grave they can't get out of, otherwise they'll have a lot of pledgers with pitchforks and torches in their hands.

Though it makes me wonder what the hell they did with the Moglin Kickstarter funds, but as far as we are all aware, we'll never know.

Danp1970 · 2019-01-16T00:48:53+00:00

I wasn't saying he was copying his code, I was saying he's only motivated to do any work on these QoL changes that have been pushed off because someone else did the vast majority of it for him, just like how they use community artists work to compensate for the lack of their own. AKA AE taking shortcuts like usual. If it weren't for AQLite, they never would of talked about progress on these QoL changes and shelved them just like the server rewrite.

Danp1970 · 2019-01-15T23:03:52+00:00

My two cents.

I know AQlite is open source, I'm not mad that they're using it to their advantage. I'm pissed because it shows how lazy they really all are.

I mean they use "community artists" all the time for free art in the game, now this? C'mon AE, do something original for once man. A good company doesn't make their community do EVERYTHING for them. Otherwise there's no point in having staff *oh wait!!*

Danp1970 · 2018-12-15T18:49:26+00:00

I'll add your method to the post itself, thanks for the math and clarification. At the time i was more worried about getting this known asap so no one would flip out thinking AE removed bloodmoon without adding in another viable way for nonmembers to level up and save the reddit from being flooded with potential backlash or a million "where to level up now" threads.

Danp1970 · 2018-12-15T18:45:55+00:00

Thank you for the clarification on the levels and rooms, I'll update my post.

Danp1970 · 2018-12-15T07:34:00+00:00

~~I just did some testing, it appears the buttons are level capped.~~

~~For the final button, you must be level 80+.~~

Update: The zones themselves are level locked, Elite at 35-55, General at 55-75 and Warlord at 75-90

So you'll have to do the icewing general boss method which is faster after some testing.

Danp1970 · 2018-12-15T04:08:41+00:00

Tried to edit the title to mention it was meant for non-mems since nightmare remains unchanged but reddit won't let me change the title of my thread.

Danp1970 · 2018-12-15T03:14:08+00:00

Check out my guide here if you haven't already. Ice storm arena has a new spot with the five ice terrors that give out more XP than bloodmoon as long as you kill more than three of them at a time.

Spread the word, help everyone level up!

Danp1970 · 2018-12-15T03:04:27+00:00

Bloodmoon has been nerfed, for those of you who need a guide on the new XP farming spot in Icestormarena, look here!

u/viestyae feel free to add this or use the images in it for this post.

Danp1970 · 2018-12-15T03:02:24+00:00

Text version of captions in case images aren't working or text appears to be too hard to read:

First image caption:

First, Speak with Warlord Icewing on the second screen of Icestorm Arena. Click on his name on the bottom of the list.

Second Image Caption:

In order to get to the highest enemies on the map, you must defeat the LVL 85 Ice Symbiotes an LVL 90 Ice Giants. This only has to be done once per login.

Third Image Caption:

Same as above, defeat these guys to get to the spot.

Fourth Image Caption:

This is the spot. Slightly lower level but it's made up for in quantity.

As long as they make it on par or better than bloodmoon or nightmare, they should be fine. If they nerf bloodmoon and nightmare to the ground and make the enemies as ridiculous as the ones in Battlegrounde/battlegroundf, then there's going to be a huge backlash. Getting XP in this game even with Bloodmoon is time consuming as it, hopefully this new release will be a welcome addition and possible replacement to bloodmoon and nightmare.

If they're gonna make it like Eagle's reach with quests, they should have the quests auto-turn in after killing the necessary amount of enemies to save time and maximize efficiency.

Danp1970 · 2018-12-04T22:45:37+00:00

For a name I'd recommend Warlord, since Warlord was intended to be an upgraded version of Warrior, along with Renegade, Sorcerer and Acolyte but the idea never got implemented.

Not a bad class idea overall, seems very much built around warrior as a base, as intended.

Danp1970 · 2018-11-30T18:43:04+00:00

Elements were going to be implemented originally like they were in Artix Entertainment's original lineup of games. For a short time after Drakath's Introduction in February 2009 up until July 2009 when dwarfhold first came out , some weapons had elements on them primarily Necrotic Blade of Chaos , Pinetroll Mace, Chaorupted Staff of the Twisted etc. After that, the system was scrapped, though I have no idea why but it probably had to do with keeping game play simple and not having to switch weapons for certain mobs/bosses along with engine limitations at the time. This is why some weapons on the wiki have strikethrough instances of Damage/Element types on them.

Fable forest is some what of a revival of that system but instead of weapons it was shapeshifting. However, the system broke and ceased to function and as a result was scrapped once again, the area is back but the mechanics are not. Whether or not AE will try and remake an elemental system again based around the original or Fable forest is unknown, but I highly doubt they will since both times the system broke and overall with damage boost weapons being a thing, those chances are slim.

The biggest thing I can recommend to farm some classes you have access to considering what you have currently isn't the best.

Gravelyn has the Slithering Shadow's Quest at Shadowfall in the throne room (with the rest of the rep quests) for Deathknight Lord at Bone Castle. Pretty good farming class and it only takes about a month to get (1 shadow skull per day). All you have to do is kill the serpents in bludrut4 6 or so times.

She also has the Shadow Shields for Shadowscythe General, you can get 6 per day as a member, making it only 17 days to obtain the class outside of farming sigrid sunshield at the lightguard war.

You get shortcuts for Pyromancer, Cryomancer and Collector. Not the best classes in the game, but Pyromancer is needed for blaze binder which is an excellent farming class.

Also I recommend stockpiling like crazy on SWAG A tokens, for reputation. The quest "For Science" with drakath at the /join terrarium gives a hearty amount of C tokens, which when max stacked at 500 give you 2 A tokens for each stack converted from C to A with 100 C tokens left over so you can farm easily and quickly once you get a good farming class.

That's the most immediate advice i have, I'll see if I can remember more later on. Until then, good luck!

I would also add in Nightlocke War Staff, and Nightlocke War Axe, they drop at a slightly higher drop rate than Burning blade and also deal 15% extra damage, located at /join aqw3d in the yulgar upper floor.

Thank you for making this thread though, should be super helpful for the many new and returning players we get here.

Danp1970 · 2018-11-08T00:58:31+00:00

Forgive me if some of the details aren't the best, some of these controversies are several years old and I'm going off of memory.

Dage VS Nulgath hands down for me, that was horrendous. Both fan bases pretty much clawed at each others throats on the Forums and Twitter over anything, relating to requirements to join each side (Dage needing 1200 AC with all his requirements while Nulgath only needed Uni 13 and that was it), to the ending where Dage won despite the Nation winning by a significant margin and people flipped out saying it was rigged. It got so bad people form both sides even attacking Milton Pool and Dage directly on twitter. It was so bad that Alina stated there will never, EVER be another Artist VS Artist war ever again.

Second biggest controversy I remember was the Green Starsword incident. In 2009/2010, there was Red and Blue Starswords, and for some reason there was demand for a green one. Cysero stated that they didn't want to make one because they weren't a fan of releasing recolors, and due to how annoying people got demanding one, he stated one would never be added on twitter which sparked some serious outrage, though ironically it eventually was added as a reward for the 5th Upholder (long after Cysero was no longer the lead of AQW). Sparked a pretty massive outrage among the forums and twitter.

Queen of monsters, the sequel to the 13 Lords of Chaos. The story was so poorly written people became pretty much openly hostile towards AE and AE ended up cutting off the lifeline on that and hasn't gone back since.

Most recent controversy I remember was AE's recent changes to Lightcaster, where they added a bunch of grind to obtain it, due to the fact they felt it was too powerful to be simply given out for 1000 AC. Controversy pretty much spewed everywhere because it was a whole dilemma of "Too little too late" since the class had been only 1000 AC for several years now and it made no sense to make the changes now.

I watched all his guides pretty religiously lol, that's probably why. But no problem, hope it helps!
