Area of Effect breath weapons and Primal-based GR alternative?

[Lumineux]

What ever happened to these two things? Were they totaly scrapped? When it was first discused, it sounded like they would be moving to blight within a month or so. Just curious, is all.

[Vlisson]

i fear this 2 things are lost in space :(

maybe this are powers only ancients can attain?

[Bulgrim StoneCleaver]

I try to mention them in my posts when I remember even tho I don't play a dragon.

Idon't understand why these two were lost. Both were said to be ready for release and then nothing more was said.

Taken from 4/13/05 design preview









Coming soon to Blight The following items are in the readying stages for release to the Blight Server.

Spell Book Limit Increases

Formula Book Limit Increases

Helian equivalent to Gold Rage

Flame Burst AE Dragon Breath

New Heal Ranges and the introduction of "Critical Heals" for both Life Schools and non Life Schools.


How about them critical heals they dissapeared too. Hopefully they were just put on hold for ancient.

[imported_Denrath]

I think that is what everyone is talking about. It was in the 4/13 preview, but it hasnt been in any of the recent ones.

[oluviel]

This one is even BETTER taken from the 3/17 design preview

?Dragon Breath of Fire has been changed to 30 second recycle time and the Area Effect removed to be replaced by a more powerful Area Effect Breath of Flame Burst (to be added at the next patch.)

Then again if you look at thedesign previewsthere are so many things both biped/dragon alike that simply dissapear. Brake it down to prioritizing.

There is a slim slim chance they are hiding these abilities to be released with arop. But it is more likely that they are just on hold until the bigger stuff is completed.

[oluviel]

What puzzles me is why none of the devs are commenting on the issue thus far. It sucks if things have to be held off while high priority things are taken care of but it's no reason not to comment them.

Come on devs it barely takes a brain fart to appease our concern.

[R`aven_Sky`Dash]

curious as well...particularly about the bof ae effect that was spose to happen so long ago.

[Akuluxtraxas]

I have heard on IRC from Manga directly several have tested the helian equiv and it was being tweaked more. i do believe the method of gaining it was also indiscussion still. as far as my look? dissapointing but with ARoP,Lairs about within weeks it seems i guess i cant be too upset for now.

I sadly have no report or knowledge on the current status or situation with the new breath which i also was super excited about. be great to hear the status on these from the team as mentioned above and if they are being held upthen do update that..

[oluviel]

if either are reserved for release with ancient i would think the bw is a likely choice, and the gr alt would just be a future addition.

Since each rite is supposed to alter our bws in some way.

[oluviel]

Booya, i won't let this go until i hear something from a dev. Even if it is "shut up!"

[Fireclaw]

I think the helian equivalent to gold rage and the AOE breath weapon were simply forgotten and abandoned by the developers. I don't think we'll ever see them.

I like pie [:P]

Well, there you go Oluviel... a response from the developers. I guess they are saying to let this topic be quietly forgotten.

[AmonGwareth]

Not at all! I was simply joking around. Taking things FAR too seriously around here. We need humor. It is a good thing. [:D] Now, the AoE breath weapons are being balanced. I cannot say at this time how you obtain them. [:#]

[oluviel]

I prefer cupcakes amon, And so should YOU!

[imported_Drakarr]

I also prefer cupcakes,.....in large quantities,....hmmm maybe an AoE would help????

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm aoe cupcakes

As for the Gold Rage alternative...
I reckon that if it comes the helians will lose gold rage and gain "primal rage"...
Or will both factions have both attacks...
Which would be a bit overdoing it... [8-|]
