Test Update 4/12/2022 - Patch Notes and Discussions

After this change, will new tol zone akhevia still be headshottable and assassinatable or nah?

Yeah they will be.

Skeletons have unanimously approved these changes, it's kinda comical that they are now immune to most guards.

Who says Darkpaw have no sense of humour?

Haha I thought the centaur question was interesting, and it turns out they are "magical" and neither humanoid or animal.

Sorry, even the greater akhevia? Like is this change affecting tol mobs at all?

As of right now, there are no changes to ToL Akheva

What about the shades in KV? They're currently can be headshot.

When can we get married?

lol, well, I've had an interesting revelation. Of all things, the shades in new VT are marked as Greater Akheva. I'm not too proud to admit that I have no idea why I made that happen. In all other ToL zones, however, they are marked as undead.

KV is out of my purview, but the design team has a meeting tomorrow and I can check in to see how ToL might be affected (or not) by the changes to body type. I'll get back to you after that If anything, I might need to change those VT shades into something that makes more sense. How embarrassing.

I'm free during lunch. One hour from now?

Is there still a such thing as weapon type modifiers by body types?

STILL MISSING: General -> Advancement Achievements for AA's beyond 50K

Every ranger, rogue, and berserker will be your best friend if you just keep the current headshot mobs in ToL exactly as they are.

Since they're cleaning it up, it would not surprise me to see body type bane damage weapons in the expansions going forward.

I'm going back to my padded darkened room....my brain hurts.

Why would zerkers care ? We can decap basically every body type. It just happens to be almost useless at this point because the damage has not scaled with the inflation of npc hit points and its spell damage so it does not benefit from buffs/crit AAs/weapon damage etc. Also the proc rate is the lowest among all of them.

Decapitation DPS is actually a very, very small portion of berserker DPS (~15k DPS from autoattack at max AA/level). Still, I welcome maintaining headshot/assassinate in ToL because it means I can slack and my group can still kill fast.

I approve for sure. Thank you, Qwalla.

Guessing Manticores as well.

Correct!
