Varlyndria

[Drakiyth]

I've decided to open a new thread because the 1.0 thing is just old news and honestly I never got around to coming close to the launch date i wanted to do before. However, I am close to being finished with revealing all 48 path epics and I will be working on new content and getting these quests in for everybody. The Level of the server is also going to be raised to 51 soon. I've released a few new patches to help with some balance issues of certain paths and overall the server has a good amount of stuff to do for a new player. More is on the way as I get time to work on it.

Please come check out the server and get ready for a new update in the near future that will have all of these epics available to all players who put time into completing the quest. I will also be releasing and revamping several zones so players have content to go through. Stay tuned and I hope you can find some enjoyment in what I have created so far.

THE DRAGOON KAIN
A new quest NPC inside the main lobby.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________________
PERMA/NAGAFEN'S LAIR BOSS CHANGES
- Many bosses in these dungeons have had their damage reduced by 10-15% and their attack speed reduced.
- Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox now drop a pulsing dragon heart when slain.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________________
INVINCIBLE SCARECROWS IN GUILD LOBBY
Scarecrows now spawn every 30 minutes in the lobby and have 5 million health, however since they spawn
more often their chances to drop legendary items has been greatly reduced.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
XORRA THE COSTUME COLLECTOR
Xorra loves this time of year and she likes costumes too! Hand four of any costume you find and see if
she likes it enough to give you a gift! You can now get clues from the NPC Elvira on what Xorra wants!
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
MOTHER ELVIRA THE TREAT GIVER
Mother Elvira has made her appearance in the lobby and she will give players some new food and drink
treats if they hand her a four-set of costumes as well as give clues on what Xorra wants!
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
ANNOYING SKELETONS
These little guys are harmless and now drop costume kits a lot more often than before! They spawn
in the Guild Lobby.

- Necklace of Disturbing Visions now has 145 AC
- Minotaur Hero's Brew is no longer NO DROP
- All halloween costumes are now trade-able to other places and are no longer temporary.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________





QUICK FIX - 10/20/12

__________________________________________________ _______________________________
MOB ACCURACY BONUS RATE
All mobs now get 10 accuracy rating per level instead of 25. This change was made because
lower level mobs were mutilating newer players pretty quick.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
PLAYER CHARACTER DEFENSES
For now until we work on fixing some things with how defense works, Avoidance and Shielding
stats on items have been capped to the original values of 100 and 35.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________




QUICK UPDATE - 10/19/12

__________________________________________________ _______________________________
THE PALADIN DRUNKARD QUEST
A paladin drunkard has made his way into the main lobby and has a sad story to tell you if you
can understand what he's trying to say through his slurred words.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
ITEMS
- Slightly upped the drop rate on Fire Giant Toes in Nagafen's Lair
- Minotaur Hero's Brew is now NO DROP
- Cyclops Skull is now NO DROP
- Skull Ale is now NO DROP
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
NPC SPELLS
- Vampires in unrest and mistmoore now cast the level 39 Necromancer spell "Drain Spirit" when
hitting their enemies instead of the vampire path spell which granted them combat training.

- Undead Cyclops is a new NPC in south Karana and he has some high level necro spells.
This NPC is for the new paladin drunkard quest.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________
ARMOR CLASS AND NPC ACCURACY RATING UPDATE
Due to players becoming invincible with 10k+ AC against high end bosses there has been a 25 per
level boost to all NPC's accuracy and this also includes pets. Boosts to accuracy work like this:
If the NPC fighting you has a 25% chance to hit you normally and they are level 25 they now get 25
accuracy RATING per level giving them a rating of 625.

This rating is than multiplied by the chance the enemy hits you of 25% and than divided by 1000.
25 x 625 = 15625 /1000 = 15.6% The new chance for the enemy to land a blow is now 25% + 15.6% = 40.6%
This formula is to give NPCs a boost to their accuracy against players who have reached 90-95% evasion levels
and make it where nobody on the server is invincible as AC climbs but high AC is always good regardless.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________





QUICK FIX - 10/17/12

__________________________________________________ _______________________________
PERMAFROST & NAGAFEN'S LAIR
All mobs in these dungeons are now level 46. This will allow casters to be useful in the fights.

Beastlords now have Bestial Frenzy Rank 1 through 5 at level 1 for no AA cost. This gives the class the
power to double attack early on.

UPDATE 10/24/12
Please download the latest files for this update 10 24 12 - fixes 3, and make sure to add the new global load.
__________________________________________________ ________________
BUGGED SKILLS
- Virulent Savage's Vile Shield Slam now requires the correct charm to use.
- Brigand's Scatter Shot no longer heals.
- Life Ending Strike now deals damage to the target instead of the Assassin.
- Spirit Warden's Warder's Gift no longer makes your pet the size of Godzilla but still makes it larger
and more menacing.
__________________________________________________ ________________
CHARM POWERS
All charm clickies have been changed into the 1.0 rule system and have been based
around a level 46 character.

NOTE: This might seem like a slight nerf to all classes more than likely but will also buff some paths
that were really lacking. Overall it will get every path's damage and healing where it needs to be
based on the new health of npcs and 1.0 rules.

- Slayers no longer lose AC with their Combat Mastery due to new tank changes
making tank paths far superior at that role. Slayers are pure DPS warriors.
__________________________________________________ ________________
HEALING POWER LINE
Shadowknights, Necromancers, Enchanters and Magicians now get Healing Power.
This should boost the power of the Pet Heal line and Life Taps.
__________________________________________________ ________________
PET MASTERY LINE
Due to 1.0 changes drastically affecting the base damage of pets depending on their master's
class, Grand Pet Mastery has been removed. Pet Mastery is what all paths will use now
and it's got an added bonus of 35% Mitigation and Evasion added to it. This will make
your pets much more formidable when tanking for you. All pets now have the same HP as a
normal mob its level.

NOTE: All classes now get Pet Mastery. The endurance version is called: Disciplined Pet Mastery
__________________________________________________ ________________
HEALING CHANGES
Minor Healing, Light Healing, Healing, Greater Healing, Superior Healing, Celestial Healing etc
have been changed into 1.0 rules. Most of the cast times are now 2 seconds while some are instant.
The overall power of these spells has increased and so has the mana cost.
__________________________________________________ ________________
PATH PET CHANGES
Path pets have new very powerful procs like the Wildheart Treeant now procs a Rock Blast spell etc.
All path pets now have 150 AC per level and are now summoned as a level 46.
__________________________________________________ ________________
TAUNTING BLAST
Taunting Blast has been reduced in power to better fit 1.0 rules and no longer has an animation.
Characters who taunting blast now flex their muscles at the mob.
__________________________________________________ ________________
MIND FLAYERS
Mind Flayers now regenerate 10 mana per level up from 3 per level with their mind leach.
__________________________________________________ ________________
WITCH DOCTORS
Witch doctors now get a Living Totem pet and their charm spell is now called Totemic Energy.
PET PROC: Tiki Curse - Does a DOT and Slows the enemy by 50%.
__________________________________________________ ________________
TERRORIZER
Terrorizers now summon a vicious Bone Fiend pet when cursing their enemies with their charm.
PET PROC: Bone Spike - Deals violent direct damage to the enemy.
__________________________________________________ ________________
HALLOWEEN EVENT
- Annoying Skeletons no longer drop money and should vanish if they don't drop a costume.
- Invincible Scarecrows now only drop 250 to 350 thousand plat.

I think that Maze and Caryitis sit around in a circle jerk

So what if we do? Are you hiding your own insecurities?

It's great that nobody can provide opinions of a terribly put together server with no base plan except to make people who give them $$ their own set of items. Lets develop content around these donators, and add more useless shit in, to fuck the people that don't pay to win, oh shit sounds kinda like THF.....Pay to win is never fun for the poor kid who just wants to have fun but has buttplugs with mom's credit card buying all these "LEGENDARIES".

For what it's worth, yeah the dude spends 90% of his life working on an Everquest server, sure that's all fine because he charges people a ridiculous amount of money to actually be able to do "epic quest 10".

Have your opinions, just don't delete those who think differently than "OMG THIS FUCKING SERVER ROXX MY SOXX" get the fuck over it, it's varlyndria, we'll see drakiyth around for about 6 more months before he burns himself out due to the fact of people not wanting to drop 150$ to progress to the next zone to receive one item, just to pay 150 more to get the next item. Pay to win fucking fails and that's all I am exclaiming. Go ahead, subpar developer in server envy? Sorry but on my server you have a direct sense of whats going on. Blah blah blah, post remove, doesn't matter.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

Maze, I am not going to argue with you specifically on quality of Valyndra - I know nothing about whats going on inside of it, but there is a difference between posting a server criticism like your post above, and a baseless snotty remark like you did on the previous page.

After all server quality has nothing to do with getting Green Status - green status is granted on purely technical bases for stability, up time, and things like that.

[Teholb]

No, Varlyndria isn't a donation farm at all . . .





"Legendary, Mythical, Craft Quest and some Raid items now have a selection of type 18
augment slots. In order to buy a type 18 augment, you need to talk to the Augment Keeper in the
guild lobby's east wing where the donation npcs are. This augment is extremely powerful and can only be obtained
by spending large amounts of platinum. However, donators get extremely nice discounts based on their current tier."

PRICES BASED ON YOUR DONATION STATUS

Non Donator = 150,000,000 Platinum
Tier 1 Donator = 100,000,000 Platinum + Tier 1 Donator's Token
Tier 2 Donator = 90,000,000 Platinum + Tier 2 Donator's Token
Tier 3 Donator = 80,000,000 Platinum + Tier 3 Donator's Token
Tier 4 Donator = 70,000,000 + Tier 4 Donator's Token
Tier 5 Donator = 60,000,000 + Tier 5 Donator's Token
Tier 6 Donator = 50,000,000 + Tier 6 Donator's Token
Tier 7 = 40,000,000 + Tier 7 Donator's Token
Tier 8 = 30,000,000 + Tier 8 Donator's Token
Tier 9 = 20,000,000 + Tier 9 Donator's Token
Tier 10 = 10,000,000 + Tier 10 Donator's Token

[Maze_EQ]

so basically 150mil plat? LOL. have fun with that shit, it's pay to win bro.

[Caryatis]

green status is granted on purely technical bases for stability, up time, and things like that.

Which is totally false otherwise a ton of other servers would be green as well. One of the biggest common threads among green and legendary servers at this point is an elaborate donation system.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

Per Rogean:



Achieving green status has always been about maintaining a decent population as well as striving to provide a positive and stable experience for players and this community. You guys can always come up with a list of recommendations and then shoot me the link on IRC.


http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=35501&highlight=green+status

Valyndra is obviously popular at the moment.

[Caryatis]

Caryatis is the most helpful, kind hearted person in this community

It must be true then huh?

Actions speak louder than words and reality does not mesh with Rogeans statement.

[KLS]

Green status is basically if someone puts a name forward and Rogean, Cavedude and I give it a green light it becomes green. We have guidelines as to how we approach who should be green or not but they're sort of loose.

Also whether a server has donations or not: zero bearing on the decision. That said the conversation about it is done here. If you have a problem with how the green system works please bring it up it your own thread instead of hijacking others.

[jabedoben]

Oh my god someone wants to put a bunch of time and work into something and make money from it? That's unheard of!

[Thorkinal]

Actually , its illegal in this situation . I did kinda laugh when the server went green a few days after the mass exodus.

[RStefan01]

I didn't have anything against the whole legendary/donation system. It seemed cool that you'd be able to get something really nice every now and then, when you had some plat piled up. I also liked the idea that all of the donator loot was available for everyone, but the donators only had to pay half plat.

What I wasn't a fan of was when it started to feel like new content was tuned around the legendaries, and the actual loot drops were mostly pointless. The idea of farming plat forever just to be able to kill stuff that doesn't drop stuff I'd wear wasn't all that thrilling.

thats the downside of any server that has items for donations. I understand the need to be able to pay for a server/hosting etc, its all part of running a server, but any time items that directly affect gameplay are added in, it really just forces developers to then have to balance around those. Especially when they are as OP as they are on a few servers here. And that really does affect players, it becomes pay to play or your SoL 8(

Gratz Valyndria on green though, i do love some of the concepts that have come from that server.

[Drakiyth]

After reading some of this feed back. Enjoy.

Varlyndria has a new clean medieval fantasy style website look that I gave it. The old one was tossed together when Varlyndria was in its infancy stages. I hope you like it. I'm going to be making a lot of solid changes to various areas of the game in the up-coming days. Please keep checking the new "update notes" page for more info.

www.varlyndria.com

[Aonelyn]

Looks a lot better. I haven't been an EQ player for years, but I dig it.

UPDATES

NOTE: Please make sure to go to the spell scriber and UNLEARN and RELEARN your spells.

• VSES is now live! Please read about it here Varlyndrian Statistical Enhancement System
(http://www.varlyndria.com/vses.html)
• All path charms have changed in stats and now scale with the player's level. Path charms are now labeled "Path Charm" instead of Rank 1.

• Barison Garthak will now give players a Varlyndrian Power Source which contains the clicky for the new VSES.

• The weight system has been removed from the game. Players will notice items don't have weight anymore.

• Due to the new changes with VSES spell power will only be found on items as focus effects. Players now get major damage bonus with their INT when
using the Statistical Enhancement power so these spell lines were no longer needed and will free up a buff slot.

• Due to the new changes with VSES healing power will only be found on items as focus effects. Players now get major healing bonus with their WIS when
using the Statistical Enhancement power so these spell lines were no longer needed and will free up a buff slot.

• Due to the new changes with VSES pet mastery is no longer used. Pets now get major damage bonuses with strength, dexterity and charisma
when using the Statistical Enhancement power so this spell was no longer needed.

• Champion's Morale no longer buffs but now instead heals the group's health, mana and endurance on a 5 minute cooldown. This was changed due to
bots getting more than enough love with the new system.

• Witch Doctor's Tikibugu Powder now properly displays as a disempowering defensive debuff and the tool-tip correctly shows what it does.

• Due to the new changes with VSES and players buffing their pets, path pets have had to have their base damage reduced by 50%.

• Path pets are now level 80 but they don't have the stats of a level 80. The new VSES system will help them scale in power.

• The bonus damage for all melee paths has been increased.

[Banderas]

Not to be a dick or anything, but if all the EQEMU servers would post their changelog here, the forum would be inundated just with that.

IMHO server changelogs should be kept to their server webpages and not here.

Flame away. :D

While he is free to post changes, I would have to just say keep it in moderation as people just become annoyed with it excessively. If you have highlights on your server worth promoting on the community forums feel free, otherwise your server's website is the best place to post regular updates.

[Drakiyth]

http://www.varlyndria.com/uploads/1/1/2/4/11245945/header_images/1353887554.jpg


WWW.VARLYNDRIA.COM



I've been keeping it in moderation for sure. I haven't posted anything on here since the 15th. I feel however that EQemu community should know about these things once in a while. Not everybody on here knows about Varlyndria or what updates it has if they never visit the main site.




LIVE UPDATE - 11/28/12


QUICK CHANGES AND FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _

• Players now gain extreme faction gains with the Varlyndrian Guards when entering the main lobby. They also gain faction when hailing Barison Garthak.
This is to help make sure no player is KOS to guards forever if accidentally killing them.

• Added some new guards in the lobby. New players shouldn't have any problems getting attacked now.

• Varlyndrian Guards now hit much harder and can protect players easier by killing faster.

• Voldrothus Soldiers only spawn every 60 seconds now instead of 30.


BAZAAR DAYJOB CHANGES___________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____

Players can now camp the bazaar at any level now since there are now level brackets for rewards. Enjoy all. LDON points will be receiving even more useful
items to buy soon but right now you can get all of your single powerful Type 7 augments which greatly enhance your VSES ranks. This merchant is in the guild
lobby.

• LEVEL 1-9 -> 625 Plat every 5 minutes and zero ldon points.
• LEVEL 10-19 -> 1250 Plat and 1 point to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 20-29 -> 2500 Plat and 1 point to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 30-39 -> 5000 Plat and 2 points to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 40-49 -> 10000 Plat and 2 points to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.
• LEVEL 50-59 -> 20000 Plat and 3 points to all ldon scenarios every 5 minutes.





UPDATE - 11/27/12

NOTE: The server crashed and will be up with some fixes. Sorry about the wait.

Please download the latest files: Varlyndria Files 11 27 12

CHANGES AND FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _

• Players may now straight-out sell Alien Tokens for 35k to vendors. (Forgot to be added to notes earlier)

• Carnalist, Avenger, Stormblade, Soulrager, Warchanter, Poisoner and Mind Flayer's main charm buffs now stacks with Moozilla's Bloody Warpaint.

• Soulreaper's death raven was causing a lot of imbalace issues and has been removed. We will be evaluating the soulreaper's dps after the changes
so they might get buffed if this is too much of a blow to them. However, they will probably still be stronger than most classes currently. The embrace of
darkness pet effect should now properly stack with VSES. Soulreapers could be getting a "Death Raven" permanent pet later on during the main path
balance changes. This pet will look like a blood raven.

• Conjurer's Summoner's Boon now stacks with VSES

• Improved Combat Training Buff given to many paths now grants a 50% hit chance with all melee weapons.

• Fixed Tool-Tip for Battle Priest's Blessing of Battle.

• Elite Dragon: Scared to Death now reduces its victim's armor class by 7500, Evasion by 25% and All Resists by 500.

• All Dragon's Breath no longer cancels magic. (Still working on making VSES completely un-dispellable)

• VSES Charisma Enhancement had the wrong limit_effect values and were only mitigating and evading against 1 hand blunt weapons. Pets should now
properly be avoiding/mitigating based on rank against all melee damage attacks.

• Mystical Artist's Song of Love has been greatly reduced in power since it was healing for ridiculous amounts. It now heals for 26 +3 a level base instead of
2630 +27 a level base.

• Dosequis' stun can no longer be resisted.






UPDATE - 11/24/12

Please download the latest files: Varlyndria Files: 11 24 12

VSES______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________

• The VSES buffs Strength Enhancement, Dexterity Enhancement, Intelligence Enhancement, Wisdom Enhancement and Charisma Enhancement
can no longer be removed by ENEMY dispells.




UPDATE - 11/23/12

PETS______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________

• All path pets and special pets have gained an innate 1000 base armor class and are now level 50 to help with their survivability.

• All path pets and special pets now have 255 base stats instead of 5 base stats.




UPDATE 3 - 11/22/12

Please download and install the latest files: Varlyndria Files 11 22 12 - Fixes

PETS______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________

• Charisma Enhancement from VSES now gives pets 25% damage a level instead of 10%. This change was made because pets were over-nerfed.
All pet paths should be much happier now as this will make the pet a lot better but no where near as overpowered as they used to be.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS

• Players may now donate for Gobbler alone for $20.00. The money donated does not count towards the Tier system like the other $40.00 Package.




UPDATE 2 - 11/22/12

Please download and install the latest files: Varlyndria Files 11 22 12

GAME FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

• Players will now be slain when changing their path. This is to give penalty for changing which there was none before. It also guarantees that players will lose
their pets, buffs and anything else related to their older path. (Players do not lose experience on this death)

• Strength Enhancement 5 now properly shows up with the VSES.

• The Varlyndrian Power Source tooltip now properly displays that players need STR, DEX, INT, WIS AND CHA for VSES. STA/AGI do not apply.

• Players can now summon Gobbler the Destroyer if they donated for his Egg. (Black Friday / Thanksgiving Donation Package)

• Pets now only get 5 points to their str, dex, int, wis, sta, agi and cha per rank of CHA instead of 50 with VSES. (This was causing massive imbalance)

• Charisma Enhancement only gives pets 10% damage per level now instead of 50%. Pets seemed to be getting insane damage multipliers that made
them extremely imbalanced.

• Enhance Weapon Damage worn bonuses should now properly stack with VSES buffs. (Includes masks from Sslithigon and others)




UPDATE - 11/21/12

PET DAMAGE AND LEVEL CHANGES___________________________________________ _______________________________________________

• All normal pets have had their damage readjusted to be more balanced at higher levels and not make such a huge leap, overall greatly reducing their power
which was 4-5 times stronger than path pets since they used monster's damage tables.

• All path pets have had their damage boosted a bit and will never be out-damaged by normal class pets anymore.

• Path pets are now level 46 once again. This level will increase as the level cap raises and is simple to manage. Overall, this change was made so pets could
be damaged easier by higher end mobs and not remain invincible.

NO MORE LEVEL RESTRICTIONS FOR ZONES_____________________________________________ _______________________________________
• Players can explore all zones now at any level as long as they have the key/flag.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________


UPDATE - 11/20/12

NEW VSES CAP RANK 40________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___

• VSES can now get to rank 40. Players need to be level 50 and obtain 1500 to a stat (CAPPED) and 500 heroic stat. Total of 2000. Any heroic stat above this
will still result in the player getting Rank 40.

NOTE: If you're level 46 and just getting back into the game, you will have your buffs stripped if they go above rank 24. If you remove some of your armor you can reach 24 with the buff and put your armor back on. Overall, players need to reach level 50 and they will be fine.

FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________

• Teepwin the Adventurer is no longer on a faction with the Varlyndrian Guards. Players who were KoS to Varlyndrian guards could not see his wares.
SPECIAL THANKS: Skrillix for figuring this out and reporting it.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________






UPDATE - 11/19/12

Please download the latest files for this update - Varlyndria Files 11 19 12

NEW LEVEL CAP_______________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____

• Players can now reach level 50.

• VSES currently caps at rank 30 1500 to 1550 to a single stat. More VSES ranks will be added soon.

• Stats now climb up to 1500 (not including heroic) up from 750.

NEW LDON MERCHANT__________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___

• There is a new LDON merchant in the guild lobby (Next to Magus and Nemeen) who sells STR, DEX, INT, WIS and CHA Type 7 augments.
These were added to give players more customization with their VSES and also bring back LDONs as a viable source of entertainment.

• The NPC Serithia the Talented who used to give LDON points for Alien Tokens in the bazaar has been removed from the game.

VSES STACKING FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _

• Flamara's Power now stacks with the VSES

• Biggy's Cloak now stacks with the VSES

• Earthguard's Nature's Chosen Protector buff now stacks with VSES and gives 20% a level instead of 12% a level as intended by new rules.

SPELL FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________

• Melee paths should no longer be resisted with their special endurance-based attacks.

• Stormblade's Call Lightning now has a 12 second recharge instead of 6 seconds as originally intended.

• Slayers now get 50% base damage per level instead of 35%. They are the masters of melee combat and are unmatched in normal attacks.

• Celestial Champion's Griffin King's Blessing now stacks with VSES.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________




UPDATE - 11/18/12

Please download the latest files for this update - Varlyndria Files 11 18 12

SPELL FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________

PLEASE UNLEARN YOUR SPELLS/DISCIPLINES AND RELEARN THEM.

NOTE: I discovered the issue with Shoulder Rush and Desperate Strike not getting spell power or intelligence enhancement bonus, it's because the
skills were set to be bard usable at level 1 and 8 which automatically changed them into songs. Songs do not gain spell power bonuses, only song
bonuses from DEX but ONLY if the bard is skilled in that instrument.

• Bards have lost Varlyndrian: Shoulder Rush and Desperate Strike but have gained Song of Wounding ranks 1 and 2 to compensate and help them out.
These new songs are in the Bard's spell book and can be enhanced by Dexterity Enhancement but only after the bard learns at least 1 point in stringed
instruments.

• Poisoner's Strike of Venom now works as intended and deals damage to the enemy and not the poisoner.

• Many special attacks from Slayer, Commander and others have lost the little floaty skulls effect but have of course retained the bash/slice animation.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________





UPDATE 2 - 11/16/12

Please download the latest files for this update - Varlyndria Files 11 16 12 - FIXES

THE MAIN LOBBY UNDER HEAVY ATTACK____________________________________________ _______________________________________
• The first assaults from the Voldrothus have started to happen. For now you can let the guards handle the intruders but don't attack the guards unless
you want to become KOS! This is the first sign of the upcoming Assault of the Voldrothos update.

SPELL FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________

• Spirit Warden's Animal Spirit's Wrath now requires the correct path charm to use.
• Shoulder Rush and Desperate Strike should now scale with intelligence enhancement.

ITEM FIXES_____________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________

• Fixed a typo on the oakmail boots.

• Fixed the Draton`ra`s Shadowskin armor to have four type 7 and one type 8 augment slots.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________






UPDATE - 11/16/12

Please download the latest files for this update - Varlyndria Files 11 16 12


SPELL UPDATES___________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________

• Poisoner's charm power is now called Poisoner: Master of Toxins

• Poisoners now coat their weapons in fatal toxins when clicking their charm instead of making a poison to do it. The vial of poison wasn't giving the
poisoner the correct amount of bonus damage, so this was severely hurting their dps. Poisoners will also summon gas grenades like they have
always done but this saves for one less item and the correct buff amount.

• Vial of Weapon Poison is now called "Piece of Junk" and is useless and no longer needed.

• Rogue: Vile Kit of the Poisoner now only has a 30 second recast instead of 5 minutes.

• The old Shoulder Rush has been removed and a new Shoulder Rush which scales off Intelligence Enhancement (as it should) has been added.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
ITEM UPDATES

• Armor augments will now properly fit inside charm slots.

• The Varlyndrian Power Source no longer has augment slots but has had some health, endurance and mana added to it. (scales with level)
