An IMPORTANT change to Masterlevel-raids EVERYONE READ

[Puppet]

I dont know if everyone reads (and interprets) patch-notes carefully, however with the patch today introduced on Prydwen there's a MASSIVE change in Masterlevel-raids:


MASTER LEVEL UPDATE

In response to overwhelming player feedback about the master level system, we have made a change to the way that credit is awarded for all x.10 final encounters. This will make the entire ML system much more forgiving if you miss a step along the way to your x.10 goal in each master level. Thank you for all of your feedback on this issue !

- You will now receive credit for any Master Level x.10 step without first completing all prior steps.


There are two new commands, available only to BG leaders :

- /bg credit will display credit for Battlegroup Master Level encounters that have been completed within the last 10 minutes. This command can be used by the Battlegroup leader without restriction.

- /bg grantcredit [MasterLevel] [PlayerName] will allow you to grant credit for completed Master Level steps, with the following restrictions :

- You may only grant credit for steps completed within the last 10 minutes.

- You must be within 1000 units of the player you are granting credit to.

- The ML step must be a battlegroup-enabled step.

- You must be within 2000 units of 75% of your battlegroup members (in other words, the majority of your BG must be there with you).


Okay what does this mean in practice:

You do NOT have to done pre-steps before a masterlevel-raid. If you can enter the area the Battlegroup-raid is in, you will get CREDIT for ALL steps done, including 7.10. For example: You join up a ML7-raid without having ML7.1-7.6. The BG does 7.7, .8, .9 and .10. You receive credit for those 4 steps. Two days later your guild goes farming in ML7 and you get 7.1 - 7.5 done. Now you have completed ML7 entirely.

And, a most welcome change:

If you go LD but come back within 10 minutes upon completion of a step you can get credit granted by the raidleader.

great! this means all ML 1,2,3,4,6,8 are open game allways nomatter what char has or not!

[OohhoO]

Also ...

- Rumours have surfaced regarding the existence of a magical item which can reveal the general location of the Celestius portal. Players from all realms who have reached level 50 should form a band of three or four comrades and venture to the Haven of Aerus. There, the party can speak to Captain Chryse to begin the quest.

yep no more handing out 15p for 1st one who finds

Oh and don't forget, this is the leviathan/kraken patch leviathan is a big ketos which casts FZ (:P) and drops some nice stuff.

Kraken is a big squid and the harder one of these 2 new epic mobs, if you want to know what he does:

Kraken lives underwater between the Treasure island and the island directly East of there. Oceanus Hesperos. There's a lot of shipwreck and a temple with a broken dome which kraken comes out of.

His Nearsight is deadly. I never delved it but the 2 times my cleric was nearsighted by kraken, it seemed to be a 99% or 100% nearsight. I literally sprinted to my servant and was right on top of the pet and it still said I was out of range to heal... so yeah, stay at maximum healing range and you should be ok.

Once Kraken is out of teh temple roof, his aggro raidus is large. I would guess that it's around 1800 range max.
