High Five and Upcoming Changes!!!

Posted: January 27, 2012, 6:18 pm by HeatoN

Dear Community & Fellow Revolters,

We think it is about time to inform everyone about our plans for the future of L2Revolt.
First of all, we would like to sincerely apologise for not being very active in the past few months due to sudden real life changes for me, HeatoN aswell as Tiramitsu and Raysharr.
However, now that our exams are partially behind us and we have managed to settle in at our new real life jobs, we can now better balance our real life with our project here.

Now, let's get to the most important issues and topics on the table.
First of all, we want to strictly advise, or rather warn everyone, no matter who that one might be that any rumors of us closing down Revolt will not be tolerated. Such rumors are completely false and we will not close Revolt for a long long time or wipe it. This is our pledge and committment that we have made in the past and we will stick to it.

However we know that the situation ingame is not that great, but that is simply because we have not had the time the past months to actually log ingame and work on the existing issues or on updates and changes.
So, here are our plans for the future of Revolt.


1) The server will be upgraded to the chronicle High Five but without the blood rain and all that annoying stuff in that client. We will also make sure that skills which might ruin the balance are reworked throroughly to ensure a smooth and consistent gameplay.

2) With the chronicle update, there will also be some fundamental changes to the server stability aswell as the server features.

Some of those features are:

Quote:
* Improved Class Balance. Inside Olympiad and outside.
* Make olympiad more attractive to promote more matches.
* Rework of all the raidboss drops aswell as the monster drops.
* Rework of all the epic and lesser epic raids aswell as their drops.
* Rework of all the raidboss stats aswell as the monster stats.
* Implementation of a lot more raidbosses which will allow players to explore the L2 Map much more and give new and smaller clans and players a chance to kill raids too.
* Changes to the Clanwar system to encourage PvP and clanwars.
* Possible changing of the Raidloot system.
* Rework of the server currencies to make it less confusing and in some cases more fair.
* Rework of the Sign zones and their mobs and raids.
* Possible removal of the spoiler mines in order to integrate it slightly different. (Still being discussed)
* Grand Epics will drop Titanium Armor coupons instead of 2 random pieces to ensure you get a full set.
* Implementation of new Accessories and more accessories for each accessory-SA category.
* Possible implementation of an instance dungeon with good rewards.
* Possible implementation of an additional vote system where actual rewards could be handed out. (Still being discussed).
* Possible implementation of new weapon/armor skins and new items such as armors and weapons.
* Implementation of new automated events and more frequent GM events with our two new upcoming GMs.
* And much more which I didnt have time to write here or simply forgot.


Important note#1: There will be a downtime of aproximately 3-5 days when this update is being carried out. This in order to get rid of as many bugs or misconfigurations and any kind of stability issues as possible.
To promote the update, there will be some more agressive advertisements on the votesites and emails will be sent out to all our old and ancient members notifying them and you about this update.

Important note#2: There will be no wipe. There might be some reconfigurations and removal of some old stuff, but no general wipe or wipe of titanium, revolt or other armors and weapon.

Important note#3: Spread the word once we're close with this update. Help us bring Revolt back on top!!! Tell your friends and tell your friends to tell their friends and while you're at it, tell your friends to tell their friends to tell their friends about it.

We can not give an official update date yet, but if you want an estimated time of arrival, I would say probably in February. So please have some patience. This task is huge and we want to pull it off!!!

Alright guys! Let's Revolt!

Sincerely,

HeatoN

Balance Changes & One Weeks Notice

Posted: November 17, 2011, 7:47 pm by HeatoN

Fellow Revolters,

We have planned some changes in order to balance not only the olympiad but also outside PvP. Here is a list of the changes and how you can redeem your losses:

1st change: Revolt Cloaks Speed and Revolt Wings Speed now give +6 Speed Bonus instead of +12.
Redeem option: If you have a Revolt Speed Cloak/Wings, you have until NOVEMBER 25th (Friday) to either keep your cloak/wing speed or change it for any other SA of your choise. (If you have a cloak and wish to get wings instead, that can also be done).


2nd change: The Max Olympiad Enchant Power is now set to +8 (Before it was +10).
Redeem option: If you have Honor Jewels +10, you can exchange them for Titanium Jewels +8.
Redeem option 2: If you have a Honor Armor Set +10, you can get 10 Euros directly from the Donation list (Not cash). That means you can chose anything you want from the donation page for 10 Euros, or you can add that 10 euros on top of items you currently possess or you can add those 10 euros on a planned donation.


Again, both options are ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 25th! These changes are final and we will not go back on it. And you do not need to be a donator. Everyone who has these items can exchange them. Simply contact HeatoN ingame, on the forum or on mIRC.

Thank you for your attention and understanding,

HeatoN

  • Life Lord's Defence monsters now drop Revolt weapons at a 2% rate.
  • Life Lord's Defence monsters drop Icarus weapons instead of Dynasty weapons.

Unique addition:
  • There is now a new class of raids called chance raids.
  • Chance raids spawn randomly every 1-3 hours
  • Change raids drop something at a 100% success rate.


Since the update is so big and it's the crack of dawn in europe, we have decided to postpone the spawning of the chance raids until Thursday, so be patient (it's totally worth it). There will be more information on these raids on the website soon.

In order to see some of the changes done and some changes being prepared for future update, it is important that you download the Hotfix here:
