Veteran Questions: Part I |
If you haven't read the message boards, Melantus asked all the vets to provide a list of "veteran questions" so he could research the answers. Here is the first installment:
I'm going to answer some of these questions now, and continue to answer a bit more over the next few days. I have the answers here, but I do not want to do a large unload of information onto the players all at the same time.
Note that not all of the questions that were posted to the Veteran Questions thread will get answered. Some were duplicate questions, too. Some questions will be answered here, but that will be as detailed as we want to get with the answer.
I know the answering of these will generate more questions. We will be able to answer some of them in due time, but as I said before some of these answers are going to be as detailed as we are going to get with it.
I was wondering if you could explain the drops system in more detail such as what are the percentages of getting a rare drop etc and how are the drops calculated. Are they put on mops at first or are they calculated once u kill one?
The monsters have the items when they are created. I reported this as different in the past, and I apologize for that. The rarity is set in their coding, and is based upon probabilities.
What exactly are the times that drakes spawn... or at least how do they spawn what are the rolls for it? And what name has the npc that tells it (according to Monitor21)
Fictionally the drakes are guarding teh entrances to the Dragon Valley dungeon where Antharas can be found. The spawn times vary depending on when they were last killed.
When will the alliance command work, and is there any date known yet when it will work.
We don't have any new information yet on the alliance command. It's not in the next couple of publish plans. As soon as I have more info on it, I will let you know.
Why is the Hell and demon not in the game yet, and when can we get this in our game. If you kill a monster in Hell will you get it's drops or will a monster drop nothing?
We are tentatively planning to introduce Hell to the US Test Servers very soon. It's not going to be a place you will want to go. :) There will be significant experience loss occurring after going there, and the monsters are going to be much stronger then usual. It will not be a place players can "hunt".
These are the answers to some of the questions. More will come tomorrow. |
