Patch Notes - 09/13/2018 - Combat, NPCs, Spells and Crafting Rebalance

Good Day Wizards and Witches!

Thursday is upon us and we’re back at it with another patch. Today we've done another big balance pass with combat, NPCs, spells and crafting in Ignus. Check out the patch notes below for a detailed breakdown of the changes we've made.

Armor Health Changes

We've been hearing feedback that PvP combat lacks substance so we've been looking for solutions to make it a bit more robust.

To help address this issue, the health rolls for armor have been adjusted. The theory for this rebalance centers around buffing player health to allow more hits in combat. Since health rolls as a probability, then as a curve value, one can calculate an average expected health value armor might roll.

To help differentiate the usefulness of various pieces of armor regarding player buffs, the expected health rolls on crafted hats has been reduced by approximately 25%. The expected health rolls of footwear has been decreased as well, by roughly 30-40%. As the expected amounts of health awarded from crafting hats and footwear were far less than from shirts and pants, these nerfs are quite minor. To beef up the player, and to counteract the expected health reduction in hats, the expected health rolls on armor have increased between 250% and 275%. Crafted pant health rolls have been buffed as well, by about 15%-50% depending on armor type.

There were several pieces of armor that had no health rolls: footwraps, hide chestpiece, hide legwraps, boots, fur legwraps, and boneskin boots - these have all had health probability added, their values slotted into the hierarchy as one would expect.

The health values are as follows, in the format Item: new health probability (old health probability):

Cloth Armor

• Woodland Cloth Hat: 20 (27.6)
• Woodland Cloth Tunic: 80 (29)
• Solomon's Hat: 20.5 (27.6)
• Initiate Robe: 81 (29)
• Footwraps: 20 (0)
• Conjurer's Hood: 23.5 (29.9)
• Conjurer's Robe: 87 (33.6)
• Cloth Footwraps: 14 (25.8)

• Blackened Iron Helm: 24 (30.9)
• Leather Tunic: 89 (35.5)
• Leather Leg Guards: 40 (32.4)

• Iron Mask: 28 (32.6)
• Legion Leather Armor: 97 (39)
• Legion Leg Guards: 46 (33.5)
• Legion Boots: 18 (28)

• Boneskin Boots: 12 (0)
• Skullfeather Helmet: 25 (30.9)
• Bone Chestpiece: 91 (35.5)

• Eagle Skull Helm: 27 (32.6)
• Bone Armor: 98 (39)
• Savage Legwraps: 48 (33.5)
• Eagle Feather Boots: 19 (28)

Iron Armor

• Iron Helmet: 23 (28.8)
• Iron Chestplate: 85 (31.6)
• Heavy Greaves: 36 (31)
• Reinforced Boots: 13 (24.9)
• Tempered Iron Helm: 26 (30.9)
• Reinforced Iron Chest Plate: 93 (35.5)
• Reinforced Iron Greaves: 44 (32.4)
• Tempered Iron Boots: 17 (26.6)
• Dark Iron Helmet: 30 (33.3)
• Dark Iron Chest Plate: 99 (40.7)
• Dark Hide Greaves: 50 (33.9)
• Dark Iron Boots: 20 (28.6)

Overall, no matter which armor one chooses to wield, the expected health rolls across the entire set has been approximately doubled.

NPCs & Mob Combat Changes

Improvements to our NPCs continue. In conjunction with players having more expected health, NPCs have been adjusted to feel more appropriate based on approximate player stats and encounters. A player who engages an NPC around their own level should find a better balance in combat depending on the NPC type - some pose greater challenges than others. NPC attacks run on a similar spell system to players, with spell damage % ranges, cooldowns, and spell weighting (how likely an NPC is to select and use that attack) being some of the most important factors.

The first part of the rebalance was to establish a clear hierarchy of which NPCs are found and the approximate levels players are expected to encounter them. From there, the NPC's base damage and base health were conformed to the general hierarchy. To ensure conformance, each of every NPCs spell damage, cooldown, and weighting were then modified in line with the hierarchy. Obviously there is a massive variety of situations players may encounter the NPCs, so the calculations are done on an average expected basis, not an exact one.

The changes to NPC spells are as follows (generally organized by the hierarchy) in the order of NPC: spell: field - new value (old value):

If an NPC or spell is not mentioned above, it was not adjusted.

NPC Base Damage and Base Health Adjustments

Using the rebalanced NPC spells, adjustments were easy to make to ensure a hierarchy of damage and health. Base damage and base health are multiplied by a curve value based on NPC level. The curves are not being adjusted at this time, but if overall feedback dictates that things are too easy or too hard based on the new hierarchy (irrespective of coded NPC behavior or server latency, etc), the entire swath of NPC values can be adjusted up or down together.

Results are as follows, organised as NPC: base stat - new value (old value)

• Deer: base damage - 4 (3)
• Horse: base damage - 5 (3)
• Bird: base damage - 13 (9)
• Direwolf: base health - 180 (160)
• Bear: base damage - 10 (9)

• Troll Miniboss: base health 900 (700)

Any NPC or values not mentioned above were not adjusted.

Spell Energy Changes

A likely welcome improvement to the spell system has been implemented. It was found that on average, most spells could be cast continually for 5 or 6 minutes before they needed to be recrafted. This is less than ideal and more grindy than intended. As a result, spell energies have been doubled across the board, with very few exceptions.

In addition, to maintain the current siege balance (which will receive more attention in the future), the amount of siege charges spells receive from siege modifiers has been halved. This ensures spells do the same amount of siege damage before and after this update. For arcane spells, the energies are listed purely as a reference for siege energy.

Spell energy adjustments are below in the format Spell: new energy (old energy), new siege energy % (old siege energy %):

Weapon, Trinket and Armor Crafting Changes

In addition to the above balance changes, there were a few quality-of-life adjustments made to some weapon, trinket, and armor crafting recipes.

We found that a lot of recipes could be improved upon, either by adjusting the amount of some reagents, or by swapping in other reagents that were more fitting (for example, the eagle skull helm previously didn't require an eagle skull).

The list of changes are below, in the format Item: new recipe (old recipe):

Player Health and Mana Restoration Changes

Player feedback and in-house testing has suggested that there could be better ways to manage player health and mana restoration. Mana restoration in the early game was a particular annoyance. Since players now should roll much higher health through armor crafting, it seemed like a good time to buff the cooking recipes and potions.

Below is a list of changes, outlined as Item: stat - new value (old value):
