Reaper and Champion Lamannia pass

[KookieKobold]

Howdy folks!

We'll be bringing Lamannia up between January 10th and January 12th with updated Reaper mode and newly adjusted Champions.

We'll also be doing a couple of Dev events during the uptime, we'll announce more specifics as we get closer to then.

See you all there!

*EDIT*

We've just opened Lamannia up right now (6:52pm Eastern) for folks to patch up and hop on!

[Sam-u-r-eye]

[irnimnode]

Will be looking forward to it thanks for the notice.

A WHOLE TWO DAYS?!!???

Weekends of uptime seem to be the new normal for Lamannia instead of weeks of uptime.

:sigh:

[Vanhooger]

Nice!

[Sam-u-r-eye]

quit your bellyachin!!

quit your bellyachin!!

Less than 48 hours to test out Reaper (which they never released any specs for de-bugging on last time remember? ) and now test the champ changes? ROFLMBO.

Can we haz release notes? Especially since two days barely gives you time to figure out what's up, having to guess what's WAI is ridiculous.

Yes please

Has a Wipe been Performed?

[Cleanincubus]

Will the new quest be available again for this preview, with more polish, or is this solely to get feedback on Champion changes/bugs and Reaper mode?

Any tweaks/changes to Ninja Spy in there? Or did our feedback from the last preview fall on deaf ears? (Not trying to sound rude, just wanting to know if you all are listening.)

Always listening. But no, there are no further changes to Monk planned for this patch.

Will we get a peek at the rewards system for Reaper during this preview?

Has a Wipe been Performed?

There will almost certainly be a character wipe before Lammania is open, yes.

Tower of Frost will be available for preview during this Lammania build, yes.

Will we get a peek at the rewards system for Reaper during this preview?

The itemization half of the intended rewards system for Reaper will be in this build for preview. This includes the following things: Increased chance of dropping named items. Increased chance of named items having a "Mythic" typed bonus. A chance of named items (only those that are static and have no means of upgraded) having a new "Reaper" typed bonus which works similarly to Mythic bonuses (small incremental stacking bonus that one can theoretically have one of in each equipment slot if diligent). Each of these chances should increase in likelihood for each skull of reaper being played on.

In addition to that, Mythic bonuses will now have a chance to drop on all named items (Caveat 1: Again, only those that are static and have no means of being upgraded. Caveat 2: The current preview will possibly have a couple of updates, around the Shadowfell era where the treasure tables are wonky, that are not yet implemented) even when not playing on Reaper difficulty.

The other half of the Reaper rewards system (ie: What you will be able to do with the "Reaper xp" being accumulated) will not be available during this preview.

EDIT: Completely forgot to caveat that only named items that are not craftable have a chance to gain a Mythic or Reaper bonus. Added that in for clarity.

This is more than I knew, sum total, about the reaper reward system, never mind that there were going to be 2 halves. Interesting.

So, er... +1, but were you supposed to tell us all that?

I guess how much of an increase in drop rates on Reaper will depend how much ranting and the tone of ranting there will be.

So a Reaper type bonus only found in Reaper. Is this something that only works in Reaper or does this bonus also work on the other difficulties too?

Alot of previous named items are completely outdated tho, even stuff a couple updates back

Is reaper bonus melee/ranged power and PRR/MRR? or is it something else?
