Virtues Patch

[Vhazar]

Difference between new and old virtue bonuses is 2.0/1.3 =~ 1.5. Which means all these 90+ skills you people got can be achieved with 1.5 times less trophies/time/irl money. Though this patch is great for new players it is kinda great disrespect to old players especially to faithful customers who paid irl money for their 90+ skills.

maybe we should be able to un-soulbound them as an idea so we can sell them after use... it kinda promotes buying of virtues i guees and makes the virtues i got now not feel so useless.


also wtf jeff your doing something that makes the gaming experience better and will actually decrease your income? i feel as if u got it backwards.

I love you so much Glitchless.

[Sanluciferr]

No homo.

[Nemesiss]

well, what you waiting on? implement

please give a TC to every1 to ease the motion!! :P

[RogueTigeR]

I just hope you are still able to purchase the individual virts through the epics, and not need to buy virtue pack all at once.

Yeah i want it now pl0x

cannot please everyone all the time...

I think this will be nice for the noobs that did not want to fork over the dough to buy virts to use the epics they dropped.

it will be bad for pkers cuz there will no longer be any unsb epics sitting in storage so pking will become just a glory sport. pking for fun or just becoming an spk to gain crafting skills.

it will be good for Capped players that want to create a pker alt. you will be able to give ur alt all the epics he wants and never have to use 1 tc or spend any $$. unless u want account upgrades. so your pker can be fully epic again.

Epics should sell out in ah faster now but only from higher levels feeding their alts or fellow clannies.

Good patch glitchless. Now only epics worthy of 2 tcs will be traded. And my alts can use epics, instead of destroying them, without having those virtues. Cheers!

why would people complain about this, why. this is one of the nicest patches ever and I am very happy right now, not only can a single paid player with some alts and virtues give all his alts epics but they can use them for free YOU SEE WHY THIS GOOD, stop whining you moronic ret@rds. This in no way possible is bad. it might even lower tc prices since that is one less reason to buy them.

and yay sappy is now getting 56% more exp WOOOOOOOOO

Get the word out that Nodiatis no longer requires virtues for epics. Simply put the choice to not have epics require virtues to use was to bring more players to Nodiatis so you can have more sheep to slaughter in the arenas. The experience bonuses from virtues are here to stay but if we do not notice an increase in players due to epics no longer requiring virtues we can always change that part back... so head out to some game forums and let them know Nodiatis is no longer the heartless MMO that makes you pay to equip epics anymore.

The message is a team message, it won't change but if you check your actual token amount (mouseover gold) you'll see it goes up by double what the message says.

I think the best thing about Nod is the way the game keeps expanding without any nerfs involved (Note: I personally have never noticed any nerf, but only been playing for 4 months).

Part of this of course is the way one pays to play. A nerf could be perceived as retroactively taking back value one has paid for with real money.

But they have designed the game so we started off with the least capabilities, and are adding them slowly to see the effect. The order can even be important, akin to trying to set up an exotic aquarium where fish must be introduced in the correct order and timing in order to preserve the environmental equilibrium.

Thus, anyone who is pleased with the game at any point is likely to be more pleased as time goes on. The changes are frequent enough to make it very dynamic. An we all know there is plenty of game play to keep one busy as is (provided one doesn't try to gt to the highest character level as fast as possible the first time around, but concentrates on skills).

But of course nothing is ever perfect. The one (reasonably valid) complaint for making changes like the most current one of eliminating the requirement of virtues, is that existing players who had to endure that restriction can feel like their previous achievement's value has been lowered. In real life, this is equivalent to 'when I was your age, we use to walk 5 miles in the snow to get to school, and we liked it!". True, but they would have liked it even better if they didn't have to...!

I've mentioned before I'm a professional game designer. I have to say this is one of the best designed games I've seen to date from a game play point of view. If I had any complaint it would be the 'sameness' of the structure (i.e., 2 monsters and a boss per area). But there is also a comfort is sameness, since to be able to learn from experience it must be the case that one can expect the same result from the same set of circumstances. In this case, when one goes into a new area it is somewhat comforting to know ahead of time some of what to expect (i.e., level of monsters in area).

So, keep up the good work!

there seems to be a minor glitch concerning resourcing xp, i think im not getting more xp than i did before - is it caused by overskilling (fishing 82)?
