Gaias 1.2 ... and yes, I'm not joking.

[Zwiebelchen]

The new boss will be on par with D3 and will have a lower level (and lower difficulty) than The Shade.

Alrighty, would be nice if a few of its drops could cover pre d3 monk/druid gear, unless that's planned elsewhere, but without leaving the pool pointless at the current endgame. Throw a pretty legendary in, make us smile or some shit.

Either way, progress sounds good zwieb, I'm looking forward to starting a new squire again.

Upgradable Stash functional and working now.

Level 1: 6 slots (10000g, 3mc)
Level 2: 12 slots (50000g, 20mc)

I will update the graphics a little bit during the next days and put some doodads around so that it does not look so simple in the final version.

The stash is only visible to the player owning it and can not be moved around and will only be accessable in Mytargas (at the trade district's market place).

 

[doubtful]

Unbelievable, do you ever shut the fuck up?

I've sent you a goddamn message, your fight is with me, not soul. He's trying to show you some form of reason. I'm not as kind. Stop spamming your useless shit all over this thread and read your fucking page.

You send me PM after all the thing has already happened. There is nothing to bluster about.

 

[doubtful]

I'm going to grab this back from page 107



When we disagree with your views it doesn't mean we don't respect you for being an avid gaias player. It's always great to see other Gaia enthusiasts We are just expressing our thoughts as well to your ideas. We are not trying to attack them, but rather strengthen them. As vestra says we all care about Gaias here. We won't always have the same views but by working together as a community we can help balance gaia further. We disagree with ideas to strengthen their arguments and cases to make those suggestions even better. I have suggested a lot of things to the community that was frowned upon or not popular but I would never become hostile and insult others simply because my views are not shared. That doesn't solve anything and it only looks bad on the community. If you truly cared about Gaias you would not do that. Insult me as you will, I am done arguing and if you want to talk to me further send me a message because I will not be replying to you anymore on the forums themselves.

im glad

 

[S0ulseeker]

Great updates Zwiebel! I'm looking forward to playing all the versions and the stash is looking good so far :]

 

[Vestra]

Unbesiegbar sounds so cool.

When I sent you the pm is irrelevant, I should hope you've read it. Keep any attacks on anyone via pm from now on and everyone is happy.

There will be no more 'blustering' here. From you or me.

Wow thats really expencive

But why should i even care i cant even play Wc3 tft

 

[S0ulseeker]

Well there is always Garena ego but I would prefer you getting a CD Key so when Clan Gaia returns it has veteran players I'll keep looking for a cd key for you that you can use

 

[Gotenks]

Well yea soul theres still garena but i kind of dislike the players attitud in there, besides the games are way less often than in bnet and ya if u can find someone with a key would be outstanding

Thank you for help

 

[doubtful]

I will not change or remove the waves of D3. Simply because the waves are an integral part of D3 design. Consider them as trashmobs. If I would have placed 8 packs of trash before a static boss, nobody would complain. Why the difference? Simply because you don't have to pull the packs by yourself?

So simple..... yet i never thought it that way... OK you have a point there but arent 8 groups still many? how about 6? i personally consider that part the most boring in Gaias until now. In search of items we will do D3 many times....
Think that... after first boss we kill 5 groups of creeps to reach Vampire, 4-5 groups to reach Andy and another 5 groups if we want to kill Fire Lord.

YAY finally i get a slot where i can save cold death until it gets an upgrade via recipe so i don't have to make cold death again at level 50 XD

 

[galactcus]

and when is the release of the new version?

zwie can you please upgrade cold death??
because its a rare recipe drop... and with some rare itens to make it and it give too low bonus... for the level dungeon where it is found... a little more of stats but still lower than the d3 stats

I'll see what I can do.

Added Save/Load compat to the new item stash. Save codes will now get longer when players bought a stash (not that anyone would actually care with the possibility to write the codes directly to the hard drive ...).

Now only the talent system and mercenary system such as a quick beta test is left before 1.1m can be released.

 

[joechanaaa]

mercenary system!!!! Interesting

 

[S0ulseeker]

Sounds great Zwiebel if you need any beta testing let me know I'd gladly volunteer

zwieb wouldn't it be interresting if you would make venomous keeper upgradeable by merging it with cold death recipe and saphire?

it would have the same stats but it would give frost damage instead of venomous that way it could be better for fire lord


and name it something like cold keeper.

 

[Vestra]

If we're upgrading shitty weapons people never get, I'd suggest doing something about pretty much all early game crafting recipes and their availability. Especially that blue thief dagger, I can't remember it's name, Basilisks Talon?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I checked all the recipe items again and see no problem with their stats. They are on par or even better than the items that can be found in the dungeon those recipe items are intended for. Especially Cold Death is very strong considering it can already be crafted in Dungeon 2.

But I agree that crafting is way too time consuming considering the value of the actual crafted items, hence I increased the drop chance for all rare materials, including basilisk blood, demon hearts and searing blood.
I also increased the drop chance for saphires in D2 and spread out some saphires, emeralds and rubies all over the droptables of the farmland area foes.

Also, the likelyhood for the Shadow Seal to drop at the Shade encounter was increased.


Started coding the Talent System now. Screenshots coming as soon as the first Talent lines are done.

 

[galactcus]

yes cause... you have to reach the materials... drop the recipe and that sometimes take a lot of time... and the stats is not that good... so they become unusable...

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Implemented the engine for the new Talent system now. Working fine and already being awesome.
Actually *creating* the talents will probably take some time... after all, I have to create 150 talents in total, even if most of the talents are passive effects.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Hmm... I gotta say the talent system is giving me more and more of a headache (WC3 still proofs resistant to my JASS attacks sometime).
Almost two hours and some goblin tinker engineering upgrade abilities later, it finally seems to approach the finish line...

 

[texugo1337]

I hope hunters get some love on those talents

 

[Vestra]

Looking forward to testing it out zwieb

every 10 levels you get a talent point right?

 

[Vestra]

Will we be able to get a complete list of talents before the beta or are we just going to have to figure it out as we go?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

At the current implementation, you will get a talent point every 4 levels starting at level 30, which totals to a number of 6 talent points on level 50.

Will we be able to get a complete list of talents before the beta or are we just going to have to figure it out as we go?

I will probably upload more screenshots of the talent descriptions later in the process.
I gotta say that it's not that easy to make those talents unique and special all the time. Gathering ideas for talents is actually more time consuming than coding the talents itself.

Well that's the benefit of having an over-eager community! Feel free to set up a thread for ideas based around what talents you would like and I'm sure we'll all be happy to contribute.

I think that would be counter productive. To keep track of all the ideas and readjust the values to make it balanced would take more time as if I give it a thinkover by myself.

Potentially true. I don't imagine you would be flooded with ideas, especially if you whittled it down to certain areas. Either way I look forward to testing the end result, I swear I say that nearly every post.

Well if you work alone on this its hard.... After some time you have headache. It would be easier if you had someone else in real life to analazye thoughts together.

dude you talk to the dog? do you get any answers?? i really feel you!!
the truth is those animals are great pshycological support.

Vestra, play on BNet when 1.1m is released.

Ihaz, time for new account?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Of course I do. Doesn't everyone talk to dogs now and then? Something like "sit!", "stay!" or "What's the squareroot of 258395730?".

Funny thing is, whenever I say "Vestra", she starts barking.

I probably will, I think Ihaz and I were going to used a joint account so he can make Artsev if he wants or some shit. Will help us get to 1.2 testing faster etc.

To be honest, I'd kind of prefer if that was changed. Is it possible to link loads to the EXACT characters zwieb? So I couldn't load 6 characters under alternations of my name.

It's really not a high priority issue I just guess it would reduce code stealing, which has never really been a problem anyway.

Dogs are fairly average mathematicians, but their skills in architecture are nothing short of marvellous.

It's your accent, I swear!

I changed the Save/load system to go with Nestharius Libraries. I think this is included there.

No doubt. I always say "Lotta... Vestraaaaaaaa..."

I'll definitely be healing you all again and focus more on the damage talents to make it harder. I love it when every one has no gear for dungeon 3.
