Elysium Q & A Weekly Answers! / 14.04.2017

[Jakira 22]

1. Will it be possible to buy a tradeable version of the pre 1.4 mounts for a week after AV patch launches just like Nostalrius did?
   • At this time we do not foresee any issues with keeping the one week grace period in place as we know it is harder to get the Darkspear mount as a non-troll. It is, however, still up for discussion internally.
2. The Fear -> Stun Disconnect Bug is still not fixed. People are abusing it in BGs constantly. Is this being worked on after 3 months?
   • Yes - It is being worked on and is in testing phase on our internal QA realm
3. How far along is AQ, and will you start working on Naxx afterward? Also, How much % does the autocomplete add to WE every time... can you explain how exactly it works a little?
   • Yes, we will be working on Naxxramas after AQ is complete, there is already some work completed on Naxxramas, but the focus is on AQ. The War Effort completion is completed by a certain percentage each day.
4. Are you going to do more about this completely un-blizzlike cross-faction cooperation that's going on in Un'Goro? It's obvious that Horde and Alliance players are working together so I'm not gonna dig deeper into that, if you have doubts just watch them for half an hour farming devilsaurs. My issue here is, as much as I do appreciate you guys making it harder to grief your own faction with polymorph, I'd still hope for some tougher measures against the main wrong deed - which is, again, cross-faction cooperation. I don't know, temporary bans, or at least clear the banks of the mafia members off the leather, I've recently heard they have over 20k leather pieces, and, though I'm not saying that HAVING big amounts of something is wrong, they didn't get it fairly. Basically, do something to punish them for doing something that should be against the rules.
   • It is not cross faction collusion as they are not using in game mechanics to talk to each other. There were many IM clients and VoIP clients that allowed players to talk to each other even during Vanilla. We cannot nor will we be able to police every outside source of communication.

About transfers from ZK - are you going to do something preventing newly transferred characters ruining economy with stuff they bring with them. For example, at the moment price for Enchant Recipe: Crusader on Elysium is about 200-300 gold. Someone on ZK can now go to WPL and farm those recipes way easier than we can (due to less population, ergo less competition on the spot), and after transfer, he can just flood the market with them. Even though we have certain issues with recipes now (you know what I mean, same restock times, bigger population than retail), those few specific recipes are farmed fairly, and people spending their time doing so shouldn't be punished by transfers. I was personally thinking about certain limits on amounts of recipes, materials and such you could take with you, but I just hope you guys will do something about it.

No, at this time we do not plan to restrict any items/materials from the transfers as that would be a hindrance to the players of Zeth’Kur *Note this is still being discussed and could be subject to change*

Now that mob spawn times, herb spawn times, and special quest mob spawn times (hunter quest, etc.) have all been scripted to dynamically account for the population will you be doing the same for limited profession items from vendors? The current price for the enchanting formula to create a Runed Arcanite Rod is going for 100g+ on the Anathema Alliance AH. The vendor price is like 2g but the insane amount of people camping it trying to profit makes it impossible to get.

Not at this time as there are higher priority items to be looked into and resolved prior to this situation.

Does this mean AQ will open 5days and 10hours later? Or do you mean AQ scripting will be completed by the 19th.

Seriously you let people from Zeth'Kur know that they'll get merged a long time in advance and tell them they can farm as much as they want without their materials getting reduced upon transfer.... Gg

Guess you forgot the part where it says subject to change. Also forever is a long time, it will not take forever to do the transfers.

If you really think our 1k pop that not all of the ppl from ZK are coming to ely, will drastically effect the economy you're pretty dense

And forever is a mighty long time, and I'm  here to tell you, there's something else... The after world. A world of never ending happiness. Where you can always see the sun. Day... Or night.

Hello,

Thank you for the community post and work. I don't see how restricting a certain materials will be fair for Elysium and ZK players, since the transfers will be opened to all 3 realms. In other hand I agree that you think is more easier to get certain materials, but why do you think we are going to just sell it to you, since we can just use them for our personal need?

Peace.

means aq open by 19th?

[HolyPriest 0]

Means War Effort is completed by 19th.

Then there is a 5 day timer for all the NPCs and material to arrive in Silithus.

If nobody has completed the Scepter chain by that point, then we'll have to wait for that.

If you actually believe they're going to strip players of their items because it'll have an adverse effect on your crappy economy you're deluded.

lol, refuse to fix pvp. refuse to fix this shit. You people are a fucking cancer killing your own goddamn server, glad to see it go.

[Zak Preston 5]

Ok, the problem with Un'Goro mafia is not in x-faction cooperation, but in GRIEFING: you tag a devilsaur and a a mage FROM YOUR FACTION sheeps it. Enemy warrior attacks you and YOUR FACTION MAGE polymorfs him to heal. You can't do anything to YOUR FACTION griefer, that's the problem.

 

Maybe make devilsaurs unsheepable?

Well you're a mature person, why are you even here? Go away

I would have to agree with him though minus the harsh language, nothing is more annoying than watching your own faction help the other faction with polymorphs/teamwork. 

When there is a policy on killing a flightpath or world PvP when people are doing world dragons.... then there is no reason they can't action obvious abuse unless they want to cater to those doing it. Just my two cents, selective enforcement looks bad to anyone with a decent IQ.

My question is : When will the ely crew start addresing PvP bugs / mehanics etc the same way they do with scripting/coding PvE, the majority of people are playing on the "PvP" realms and u cant even consider them PvP since its mostly gold farmers/raidloggers/ cross faction cooperation and small amount of rankers, its discraceful to not have engi items/skills and talent not working properly on "PvP" realms, yet u keep working on pve content and such? When will Elysium become PvP server? or atleast have properly working PvP scripts for the major parts of it left unadressed for so long? Why do u keep looking in the other direction when so many PvP reports are made, i find the server management very NOST like PVE>PVP u have shit ton of unadressed bugs and yet u hurry release the biggest patch in vanila history when theres so many major bugs and mehanics to be worked on, if it was me id rather fix what i have came up with and start building on it. I would understand if u want to start with the most work (aq) and then start building on it but you don't say anything prior the PvP state of mehanics and scripts which looks very ignorant to PvPs and people who know how thing shoud be, I say again this is very Nostalrius type of behavior and its infuriating people have been waiting on PvP fixes for years............

[nvreeland 0]

i guess i havent been to ungoro that much but im a mage, and as far as i see it red = dead unless they are grey level with stipulations there for people camping guild members, i'll kill the shit out of them. i never even thought of sheeping someone on alliance to heal them until reading this thread.

[drambitfury 0]

Do you have any plans to try and get the server growing again, besides releasing AQ? We have lost about 5000 players in the span of only a few months, and it looks like things are only going to continue going downhill. Initially people were expecting a spike so big for AQ that we would go back to having queues for a while with the server over-max pop, and instead with the announcement all we have done is hemorrhage players. I am speaking specifically about Anathema but the trend also seems to apply to Elysium as well. 

 

[Caber 4]

I see no reason for Zethkur players to not be able to take their items to Elysium.

It's not like we had anymore Devilsaurs spawned than them during all this time. Is the problem that non-mafia players will be able to sell Devilsaur leather? Tuff nuts.

Well tbf there will be a lot of people on Zeth'Kur farming to take advantage of this.

@Jakira So is the war effort going to finish on the 19th like you've said previously?

@Jakira - I found this thread super late but I can't find where you mentioned what this person is quoting you on? Is the WE finishing in 2 days or not?

Looks like there's still some work being done on the gong quests, which needs to be completed before the War Effort finishes for obvious reasons.
