UIM Btw 3 Posted February 1, 2019 So to clarify before venturing into the wilderness. My looting bag which is stored in the kharazi coffer, will not empty and I will not lose items stored? @Ryan Also thank you for fixing glory t and dragonfire shield in poh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Logic 910 Posted February 1, 2019 Some pretty interesting updates. Interesting to see how the epic pets go, seems like it could be P2W on the surface, hope I am wrong. Nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as always, I recommend you give the "Items kept on death" menu a quick check before venturing in the wilderness! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger 174 Posted February 1, 2019 Actually not liking this update at all. To wait a week over the promised eta for some epic pets is just hilarious. Doesn't even have the promised comp cape buff that was supposed to be added 3 updates ago, it's just pets, yikes. The qol's are nice I guess 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting to see how the epic pets go, seems like it could be P2W on the surface, hope I am wrong. Nice work. Was not wrong. 1 in 1000 from enormous mole. Same rarity as Twisted bow and Scythe from raids, I'm sure it is also one of the rarest master task rewards as well. I feel like these were added in here just to say that it isn't p2w since you 'can' get them legit. These pets change the end game so incredibly much and if you want one, you either have to randomly stumble upon one as such a rare chance or you fork out money. That is fine for mains, since they are tradable you can save up for one. But for ironmen, there won't be any 'legit' ones for a long time and when it does happen it will just be one random guy getting one. I want content I can grind for, not content I have to get lucky for. [Raids, Emole and master tasks are not 'grinds'] At the very least, ironmen should not be able to get a pet box from a grand promo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
What Bank 3 Posted February 1, 2019 13 minutes ago, Logical said: I want content I can grind for, not content I have to get lucky for. Agreed. Also agree that sole content of this update is directed towards endgame players. Would have been nice to see more midgame content announced, especially as UIM was only released last update. Happy to see that at least a number of suggested QOL updates for UIM have been addressed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Fury 20 Posted February 1, 2019 Well then, more pets. What a nice update though nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Paws 64 Posted February 1, 2019 kinda disappointed not even going to lie here, waited so long for epic pets and stuff that ironmen won't even get to for a long time unless very lucky, was hoping for at least hydra since the delay was so long. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ally 126 Posted February 1, 2019 My thoughts. -I like the pets, some of the abilities could be really useful. Would definitely be interested in trying the range accuracy pet with a max range t bow setup. -Upsetting that high-end content like this is basically locked away behind a paywall as usual. Been on Runex for 2 years now and there really isn't anything worth grinding for after a certain point, I really think we need to see content like this as realistically achievable grindable content. Like Logical said, 1/1000 from emole is absurd. I think everyone stops killing mole after the 50 kc achievement lol. That, along with the raids drops, will be exceedingly rare, doubt we'll see more than a couple per month enter the game that way. Please reward your loyal players with something fun and rewarding to put our time into :(. -I don't really mind waiting a while for a decent update, but an update like this that really doesn't benefit 95% of your player base who can't just drop $75 for a chance at a decent pet, after waiting weeks since last update, is a bit of a kick in the face. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ally 126 Posted February 1, 2019 Also thanks for the bug fixes and qol, but PLEASE MAKE THE INFORMATION UNDER THE QUEST TAB (THE [INFO] STUFF) SAY THE CORRECT ONE WHEN YOU CLICK THEM a lot of them say the one below it, for example, if i click on 'Donator rank: Sponsor' it says 'total donated:$xxxx' ingame ty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is something that I think would be beneficial as there is no way of knowing the repair cost until you come to repair the item. Could impact what items players decide to take/risk in the wilderness. Edited February 1, 2019 by What Bank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UIM Verf 0 Posted February 1, 2019 it just gets more and more p2w :sighs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One Boob 0 Posted February 1, 2019 Very disappointed in this update, it got delayed and then we get this.. It offers almost nothing to regular player. I understand you gotta make money, but these pets are overpowered and basically p2w. You already have a lot of features how to take money from people and it isn't too bad. But as a ironman and a person who literally plays non donation ironman to stay true to the point of ironman, these updates offer me basically nothing. We want content, not just some items you get from boxes. Atleast you fixed some bugs, which i respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 873 Posted February 1, 2019 I'd like to thank everyone for their feedback! Most of you with criticism expressed it constructively, which is what we need to create favorable content. For those of you with concerns, I'd like to assure you that we have big plans for our February updates, none of which will include any "P2W". You can expect a lot of the content to fulfill the grinding aspect of gameplay like some of you mentioned (rather than RNG). We've also decided to adjust our ETAs to 2-3 weeks in order to provide more time for producing quality updates. In retrospect we had been a little too ambitious with our deadlines, which ultimately lead to rushed and unpolished work (as well as delays). Thanks, Ryan 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twitch 92 Posted February 2, 2019 Not to bad, feel like some of the pet fetures could be very OP but I guess we will see how it goes. Lookin forward to the February update for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
