Dolls Guild News 08-10-03: Some October Test Pics!

A treat for the guilders and all of POF - some October 3rd Test Pics! I'll add more once I get some stuff done around home (I was away for a day on business...)

For these pics - I cranked the Video Setting to FULL out... (I'l get a new Options Interface shot tomorrow - I have to get it in a window mode and I was playing full screen when I took these...)

And the topping... REASSIGNING POINTS! Now this works TOTALLY different that I thought... you pay and it removes ALL Earned Points from that selection for you to place them ALL again... its like total makeover...

Max I will Have my Veangence but I cant wait 'till the updates.

nice. where do ye find that guy?

He was in the Weaponsmith shop in Padres (Cutlass and Knife... he was there along with the Blacksmith) :D

*stares in awe at the reassignment of skill points* C'mon Disney, let us open server players try it out! LOL
You guys are doing an excellent job. :)

Those are some great pics mate.

Reasiging points...AWESOME! :)

Awesome pics i wish they relase that right now!

I wonder what the next amount of gold you have to pay is. By the way great pics Max. I didn't notice the captain's orders thing when i was on today. I was too low to reasign any skill points. I mean I had like 3 skill points in sword lol:)

Well I didn't REALLY have any to reassign either :) But, I did have three on lighting and my 'plan' was to take one off - just to test the functionality / cost / any bugs and then put it back on...

But since it pulls ALL the points off for the one price to allow reassignment (keeping in mind this is test - this COULD change) I just put the points 'mostly back' to where they were.

Today I'll visit again, and see what the cost is :)

Wow! At that price you REALLY have to think about it. I wish I still had my war gal for this.

Two note - First Cost of Reassignment: 250 - Second Trip: 2500! Don't have enough money to try a third assignment :D

Note - that 250 for ALL the points - if you have 5 or 15... its only 250 :D thats a BARGAIN for the first time fixup... but... I can see how this could get expensive very quickly (250, 2500... what next 25,000?? :D)

Also - the new Logout / Options Screens are below...

It's bad if you spent most of your gold on a war frigate. I think I only have enough for a few tonics and a light sloop lol

Wow, nice pics Max. I think the one I liked the best was the one where it showed the captain's orders. But everything else is awesome!! I cant wait till the update :D

LadyDi had posted that it appeared that the 3rd time was also 2500, however they may very well continue escalate after that somewhere.

Im also wondering if you go to another weapon/skill and try to retrain if they are now 2500, or if it escalates per weapon/skill (assuming it will escalate further as one were to continue).

On my initial pass after resetting the cannons, I checked the others and all were listed at 250 (so it appears each Weapon gets its own scale of starting at 250 - then 2500 - then 2500 by LadyDi's post)

Now - the low prices COULD be because on test many pirates don't have a lot of money - and we may see large increases as they hit Live (so for testing... they keep the prices low so many of us could try the option).

As for Bugs... there are some and these need addressing - and I haven't gotten to test any SvS options (currently I'm the only one on for my group - if some others show up later tonight I'll give it a shot)

awesome max! keep them comin! :)

Well, we spoke to live chat, and they said in the next week or so, what do you guys think?

I think that's way too soon to be releasing anything this big. I've heard about how this update is just full of bugs and I believe that POTCO would be better off taking their time to fix all of the problems before offically releasing it, otherwise, what's the point of having a Test Server?

True that Savvy true that, eh... I dont think live chat would lie to us though

Oh, I don't think they're lying at all, I just think that they're being over-competitive.

Thats a good possibility.

Keep those pics coming!
I''m very interested

Ah sweet! I love pictures of that stuff, post more.

Ok, so to put rest the debate on the New Bosses vs Regular NPCs of the same name - the following pics show the difference...

First the Lowest of the Low... the Gravedigger... at L2 we kill them pretty easy at only 75HP - but - his Boss is 675HP... to a player at only L6 (usually when you go playing in the Woods) - thats a really big number to survive yourself...

http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/p...avediggers.jpg

For a Medium Subject - a Birgade... nice shot here as I was able to attune them both - one showing 1450HP - his boss at 3100HP... once again, at L15 the player would be beat down taking on this guy alone...

http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/p...vs/brigand.jpg

Finally - the stronges Boss I found so far... a Raider Boss... a normal Raider is around 2650 but our Boss... over 5900... at L30... a player taking this guy on would lose for sure (or be praying to use a lot of tonics...)

http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/p...mvs/raider.jpg

So even though a L40 Player could probably take these guys on and survive - if a player at their initial contact level with the boss enemy tried to take on one of the bosses of the same name - they would be in some trouble :D

nice max!
omg 5900 imagine an urchinfist boss..

Perhaps 7k-8k max for an Urchinfist......
Great shots Max!

Wait a minute. Did that last won just use brawl?!

Oh nvm He's got a cutlass. But I can imagine that would hurt alot lol.

Well Savvy, I guess you wont be able to rank at Murky hollow when the update comes out, lol. Youll have a big thing of bones in your way, LOL

LOL.....I myself, considering all the things that come with having a guild in the Top 5 (perhaps 10) Overall Enemies Defeated, bad things, that has made me not want to target the enemy ranks as much.

Back on topic: The only thing really different between a Boss and Reg. is that the Boss's HP is 2X more than the Reg., if not more.
