EPW Update v77

[inf]

Hello everyone!

In this patch we bring you a completely revamped custom color system, with multiple name colors now being available to you, as well as dynamic name colors. We've also brought you a new passive skill which should get rid of that frustration of missing your 90% stun. Some PvE instances have had their rewards boosted, and custom content has been added.

- Name color feature upgrade -

• Name color feature has been upgraded! You can now have multiple name colors that you can switch at any time, as well as dynamic name color presets which will change the color of your name automatically!
• Full preview of the feature and the guide are here: Custom colors
• The functionality of the "Alpha" component in the custom name colors has been changed. By modifying this component, you will be able to obtain darker colors than what's currently available, without your color becoming entirely black or entirely white. Try it out in-game!   --  Reverted because of bugs

- New passive skill -

• A new passive skill, "Fortunate Pupil", has been added to the game. This skill will increase the probability of effects (aka "procs") triggered by your skills, genie skills and weapon addons.

• The probability scales with the level of this skill, starting at 6% at Level 1 and ending at 15% at Level 10.
• This probability is relative, not absolute. This means that there will not be a flat probability increase on the effects, but rather the base probability will be multiplied by the amount that the skill gives. For example, if your character has Fortunate Pupil at Level 10 (15% probability increase), the following will happen:
• If your skill has a basic 20% probability of triggering an effect, the new probability will be 20% + 0.15 * 20% = 23%.
• If your skill has a basic 50% probability of triggering an effect, the new probability will be 50% + 0.15 * 50% = 57.5%
• If your skill has a basic 90% probability of triggering an effect, the new probability will be 100%.
• This change does not apply to buffs which have a probability of triggering effects or evading statuses. For example: Tidal Protection, Focused Mind and Soul of Silence will not be affected.
• This change does apply to genie skills. This means that, with Fortunate Pupil learned and leveled, you will need less genie strength or dexterity points for certain skills to have a 100% success rate. If a genie skill turns out to negatively impact the balance of the game, its base probability will be reduced in the future.

• Learning and upgrading "Fortunate Pupil" at each level requires 1 "Fortunate Pupil" skill book.
• This skill book can be crafted at the "Skill Books" NPC located in major cities at the crafting tab "Fortune".
• To craft the skill book, you will need the following:
• 100 x Fortune Particle
• 100 x Misfortune Particle

• Fortune Particle is an item that can be obtained from daily and weekly PvE quests. It is untradeable. Here's how you can obtain it: (amount in brackets)
• Bounty Hunter I (5)
• Bounty Hunter II (20)
• Undercurrent Hall (15)
• Uncharted Paradise (15)
• Heavenfall Temple (100)

• Misfortune Particle is an item that can be obtained from daily PvP events. It is tradeable. Here's how you can obtain it: (amount in brackets)
• Capture the Flag:
• Victory (25)
• Defeat (10)
• Heroic Battle:
• Victory (25)
• Defeat -- Score 2 (15)
• Defeat -- Score 1 (10)
• Defeat -- Score 0 (5)

- Instance reward improvements -

• Rewards from some PvE instances have been improved in order to bring some interest back into them.

• Heavenfall Temple (completion)
• Moonwalker title x 1 (permanent)
• Weapon Reskin Token x 1
• Fortune Particle x 100
• Epic Coin x 1000
• Perfect Element x 50
• Spectrum Stone x 1 (5% chance)

• Undercurrent Hall (Quest: Blood of Wind and Fire)
• Dragon Blood Stone x 102
• Reawakened title x 1 (permanent)
• Perfect Element x 15
• Fortune Particle x 15
• Event Token x 3

• Trophy Mode: Lunar exchange
• You will now be able to get 6 Supply Tokens for each medal obtained in Trophy Mode: Lunar.

- Misc. -

• Reduced the reshaping time of random addon armors and weapons to 0.2 seconds.
• Fixed the issue with custom title requests being bugged.
• Fixed the issue with guild PvP rankings not being updated. Top 3 factions from the previous week will receive arbitrary rewards for this week.
• Added custom content. Custom titles and custom weapons will be sent within 24 hours.

This will be last medium-content patch before the X-mas update (Scheduled on the weekend of 19th and 20th December). If there are any big issues with the new features, they will be resolved as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that none of the changes in any of the patches are definitive, and can be reverted relatively easily. If you feel there's anything that might have been overlooked, feel free to leave a comment on this thread or in the suggestions board.

Player issues & requests will be looked at in the next few days. Thanks for playing!

Edit: If your game is crashing when entering the world, and you're using a custom UI, that means that the patcher has failed to update our new UI files. You will have to manually add the new files by unpacking interfaces.pck, pasting the files and then re-packing it. I've attached the archive containing the files to this post.

You really out did yourself here Inf. Great patch. My input on allowing the genie to be affected by passive is a little over board. what about occult players. Now their occult is higher % and genie has faster recovery making occult more spammable. Of course easily preventable with anti stun. But its still just an input of what i first thought about when i read the genie. Great patch though

[???????]

The changes to PvE were needed and very welcome, i hope to see custom cosmetics being related to achievements in the game in the future.



only thing that worries me is that new proc thingy affecting GoF too, which makes luck be more present in skill measurement contests. (i know its relative to the base %, but as a number nerd that squishes every stat possible any 0.000001% more is always a butterfly effect)

[Monali]

Thanks for the patch! Can't wait to PVE.
